Phoenix's POV- the next morning

Niall, I really hate to do this, but I think we need a break. I think that's what would be best for the both of us. All of us, really. I really love you, but I need some closure, and I'm still pissed that you cheated on me -P

I sent him a text in the morning, right before I poked Harry. Somehow, he was collapsed at the foot of the hospital bed, on top of my feet, and I had to pee.

"Psst, Haz, move," I whispered, starting to shove him off the bed.

"I'm up," he groaned. Everyone else began to stir as well. Odd, everyone seemed to wake up at the same time.

"Thanks," I made sure to whisper until everyone else was fully awake. On my way, I reached into the closet and grabbed the clothes I was planning to wear today. It was my official discharge day, and in order to stay on schedule with the tour, we had to leave today.

When I came out of the bathroom, everyone was on their phones, at the very least attempting to wake up. I heard a knock on the door, so I went to let the person, who happened to be Niall, in.

"Good morning," I said briskly.

"I brought you a cuppa," he said meekly.

"Thank you," I took the cup from him and took a sip of the warm Irish breakfast tea as I exited the room.

I grabbed my discharge instructions from the nurses' station and read them over to myself. As I began the walk back to the room, I bumped into someone and nearly spilled my tea.

"I'm so sorry," I looked up and saw Ed Sheeran.

"No problem, Phoenix. I was actually looking for your room, since that's where I'm assuming you all are," he walked beside me as I walked back toward the room.

"Ed!!!" I heard lads chorus as we walked into the room.

Luke's, Ashton's, Michael's, and Calum's faces were all priceless when they saw that THE Ed Sheeran had just walked in the room.

"Mr. Sheeran, it's an honor to meet you," they almost began kissing his feet.

"I take it you guys have never worked with Ed before?" Harry asked.

I burst out laughing as I began to pack my things.

"What? What's so funny?" Ashton asked.

"I've worked with Ed for several songs on my album, yet you guys act like he's a superhero or some sort of celebrity," I chuckle to myself.

"He is an idol," Luke said defiantly.

"Oh, you lads are such a crack-up," I wiped a fake tear as we moved out of the room and back into the buses.

"I'll stay with Payrin, Luke, Mikey, and those guys. Ed, you should stay with Niall, Harry, and them," I said, climbing the bus and breathing in the musky scent.

**************on the bus****************

"Anyone wanna do a Twitcam with me?" I called to no one in particular. I heard food being dropped and controllers slammed down as the four lads ran over to sit behind me.

"Payrin? You up for one?" I asked.

"Eh, sure. Why not?" she got up and sat in Calum's lap.

"Hi guys! I'm Phoenix, and yeah, I'm on the bus with 5 Seconds of Summer and Calum's girlfriend Payrin," I began.

"Hey, someone wants us to sing a song for them," Luke pointed out. I guess he was reading what people were saying.

"Um, should we all sing a song about carnivals?" Michael asked.

"What?" I turned to him with a bewildered look on my face."I was just asking," he had this lazy smile on his face.

"Hey, since we're going to Spain, why don't we sing a song in Spanish?" Payrin suggested.

"Um, babe, the only song I know is that one Christmas song," Calum pointed out. The other lads nodded in agreement.

"Ok, well I guess we can take questions," Ashton decided.

"First's one's for you, Phoenix. 'How are you and Niall?'" Luke asked.

"Um, well, I'd rather not answer that," I blushed and looked down.

"Mikey, why do you dye your hair random colors?" Calum read off the screen.

"Because I can, and it's kinda fun to be known as the kid with crazy hair," Michael answered.

For the rest of the Twitcam, I zoned out, messing around on my phone, and eventually leaving the Twitcam. I decided to climb into my bunk and try to get some sleep before we arrived in Spain.

******************the next day*****************

I awoke, but I hadn't slept very well. My dreams were plagued by Niall, and I woke up several times, usually tossing and turning a bunch before finally succumbing to sleep. This happened three different times. On the fourth, I gave up, looked at my phone, and got up, deeming it to be an earthly hour to rise. I saw the beautiful Spanish countryside outside the window, and I received a text.

See that sunrise? -Ed

Too bad I don't have anyone to share it with :P -P

No one else awake? -Ed

No. It's too early for them -P

Why are you awake then? -Ed

Nightmares. This is the fourth time so I gave up -P

Well we're almost at the arena. If you want, I could help you fall asleep tonight ;) -Ed

Sure thanks -P

I hopped in the shower, and thought about what Ed meant. Oh well. I guess it didn't matter.

"Michael, Luke, Calum, Ashton, Payrin, time to get up. We're almost at the arena, so you all have to look somewhat presentable," I shook their shoulders in an attempt to wake them up.

I made myself breakfast after choosing to wear sweats and a tanktop, not caring how revealing the top was.

"I like pie," Michael sleep-walked into the bathroom, closing the door and I heard him turn on the shower.

*******************at the arena**********************

Everyone finally looked somewhat awake, and presentable to some extent. We were all in sweatpants and t-shirts. Payrin was wearing Calum's hoodie, Dani was wearing Harry's hoodie, and I was left without a jacket. It was on the bus, and I didn't want to go back and get it.

"Here ya go, love," Ed draped his jacket around my shoulders and sat down next to me on one of the couches.

"Thanks, Ed," I leaned my head against his shoulder.

"Ya know, you're beautiful," he rubbed my arm.

"Thanks," I yawned.

"Don't you gotta perform soon?" he whispered in my ear.

"Shit, yeah! Thanks, Ed. You're the best. I owe ya one," I shot up and ran toward my dressing room.

"Payrin, I'm here," I gasped for breath.

"Your hair and makeup and fine. Here's what you're wearing," she handed me a flowery top and some leggings.

"Are we going for the sexy look?" I asked. She nodded as I disappeared out after quickly changing.

"Right on time," Harry stuck my in-ears down the back of my shirt and connected it to my mike-pack.

"Thanks, Harry," I left him a quick sisterly kiss before rushing out on stage.

Ed's POV

Damn, Phoenix looked so hot. I couldn't wait for tonight.

********after the concert******

"Phoenix, you were so great. You must be exhausted. Come back to the bus with me?" I complimented her.

"Sure," she collapsed against me.

"I'll carry you."

I carried her from the arena to the 1D bus, where I was staying, and upstairs to the queen sized bed.

"Ed, you have no idea how much I've missed you," she attached her lips to mine.

I kissed back, immediately asking for entrance, which she immediately granted, deepening the kiss. She gradually pulled my shirt off, and I pulled hers off, not breaking the kiss except to throw the shirts across the room. I went ahead and made our jobs easier and shimmied her leggings off of her, already feeling how wet she was. That turned me on to the max.

She gently tugged on my belt loops, and I knew that she wanted them off too. My aching, swollen member slammed against my stomach as I chucked those across the room too.

"Someone's a bit excited," she smirked into our kiss.

I broke the kiss, rolling on the condom, and prepared for the entrance.

"You ready?" I asked her, planting kisses all down her torso. She nodded, and I thrust, keeping them slow and methodical."Ed, you're so big and good!" she screamed as my thrusts got faster and sloppier. We hit our highs at the same time, and I collapsed next to her as we rode out our highs, cuddling in each other's arms until the bus door opened.

Phoenix's POV

"Shit, I can't sneak you off," Ed cursed. Voices came closer to us, and I began to panic.

"Hide in the closet. There are things you can wear in there," he shoved me in the closet and ran into the shower, quickly turning on the water, and then turned it off to make it seem like he'd been in the shower.

"Hey all, how was the concert?" I took that as my cue to get dressed in the bathroom and join Ed downstairs.

"It was good. Where were you, Phoenix? We missed you," Louis said.

"Oh, Ed and I were just cuddling. It was a rough show, and I needed his love," I said, looking up at Ed. I saw Niall's face go hard with jealousy.

"Well, I should probably go to the other bus. I'll see you all in the morning!" I chirped and walked out, snuggling under my covers and falling asleep quickly.
