Creepy Stares

Why does he not want me to like his own brother? Is there something wrong with Milo or should I say- is there something wrong with me liking on his brother? Does Tybalt know something that I don't?

Oh who am I kidding?

Of course it is only natural for Tybalt to warn me about this thing! He only cares for his brother, for God's sake, what am I even going on about? Milo is a member of a famous band- one that is known by the world, whom thousands of people are looking up to. Tybalt is only protecting his brother from any kind of trouble. He's that type of person- the one that cares so much about everyone and everything.

He was just protecting his brother—

"Lorien?"

—from.... me...?

I turned myself around as I heard someone calling my name, there he stood, his eyes sparkling so bright as he looks at me with worry. He waved his hand in front of my face as I did nothing but stare up at him.

So Tybalt was protecting Milo from me, huh?

"Lo- hey, you okay?" I was snapped out of my thoughts when I felt his arms on my shoulders.

I suddenly start to feel so weak on my knees.

Why... why must Tybalt protect Milo from me?

Don't act like you don't know. My subconscious scolded as I freeze; eyes still on the blonde who was standing right in front of me. Basically, you might get crazy in love with this guy with blue eyes- that's what scares Tybalt.

That's right. What could happen next was what scares Tybalt.. everybody inside of this bus knows that I am a fan- one of the thousands of girls all over the world who are drooling over these brothers. There have been news of fans who had gone out of their mind -psychotic, as others say- that they had gotten to the point as to harm the celebrity they said that they are in love with. I'm pretty sure the word had been spread and of course, the Ellis' would be scared. Nobody will ever wait for something like that to happen to them.

What good will it do if I were to really fall in love with Milo?

"Hello? Yahoo! Milo to Lorien... yahoo!"

This guy will never like me..

Suddenly, I felt arms on my shoulders and I know they're his. As they tightened, my heart sank. It was as if his palms had thorns on them and it is piercing through my skin, as the pain goes all the way into my heart. The fact that Milo couldn't ever like me -and his own brother warning me about falling in love with him- breaks my heart in two.

"Adasha!"

"Huh?" I gasped as he called me by my middle name. "Oh! Ye-yes.. I'm okay... I'm fine... I'm sorry, let's go back there and finish our dinner." I just said, shaking my body as his hands were removed on my shoulders before I walked pass by him.

"Aren't you here to get us some water?" That stopped me. How could I forget that? Milo must have choked himself and noticed that I was taking long to get back to where he was, gee how much of an idiot are you, Lorien Daniel?

As I gulped, I turned to Milo once again and smiled, "Right! I-I'm sorry," he giggles and shook his head as he opened the fridge by his side and grabbed two bottles of water. Milo showed them to me with a loving smile across his face.

"Come on, let's finish our dinner." He stated as he placed an arm on my shoulders. He was giving me bright smiles and as much as I want to return his smiles to him, I couldn't. If I were to give him one right now, it would be a fake. Realization has hit me like truck and it sure feels like the vehicle has ran over my heart for a million times. I can't believe that it still can beat as fast as this just because Milo is close after that.

"Hm?" He chuckles. I put my head down then back up, I finally smiled and wrapped my arm around his waist as I saw his smile growing even wider from the corner of my eye.

Whatever Tybalt meant by that, whether it was for my own good or his brother, I'm not going to do what he wants: not liking this beautiful man standing beside me. Besides, I already do. There's nothing I, even Tybalt, can do about it.

***

Milo and I finished eating our dinner but we remained sitting on the couch with our eyes on our phones, but we've already cleaned the table. Time after time though, I will look over to the man sitting opposite to me and then finding myself smiling like a big idiot. I just couldn't help it. I mean, try to put yourself into my shoes, if you have the person you like sitting right in front of you, would you rather stare down to your phone? If you'd rather do that, then I guess we are not the same. Moments like this doesn't come so often, so I'd like to spend it just looking at him. I'd take advantage of it; I would stare and watch him for as long as he's in front of me. Before he stands up to leave me, I would love to have a good look of him, I don't really care if it'll be the first and last time.

But then, I still don't quite understand what Tybalt meant by that. The thought that he is probably trying to protect Milo from me was just one of my guesses, but that also couldn't be the reason why he told me that. But really... why does he not want me to like his brother? And why did his eyes look like they're trying to get me something? Why did they look at me like that- as if Tybalt was going to eat me?

Then I was suddenly snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a loud snore. I looked back over to Milo as I let out a soft giggle, he has his head rested on the table and his long arms on either side of it. I leaned over to him as I smiled at the sight of his sleeping face. Milo must be really tired to snore like this, it wasn't loud but I think he was feeling really tired. Being the father of the band must be really tough. I placed my chin on the palm of my hand as my hair tries to cover my face, I stare at him, his eyes were opened slightly and so was his mouth- definitely the cutest thing I have seen today.

But still... what is with Milo that Tybalt doesn't like? Why does he really not want me to fall in love with him?

I shake my head as well as slapping my own face as I crawled over on the couch to get to Milo's side and shook him awake but he just groaned. I giggled and shook him once again.

"Milo, wake up!" I whispered. "You can't sleep here on the couch, you could catch a cold. Come on.. wake up and go to your bunk!" But he just groaned one more time as he turns his head to the other side, making me roll my eyes.

"Milo-" I groaned, "—you have to wake up now. Let's get you to your bunk alright? Get up!" I stood up from the couch, grabbing one of his arms as I try pulling him up. He groaned again and then he rubbed his eyes gently, oh finally.

Milo carefully stands up. "Oh? I-I fell asleep?" He asks, I smiled and nodded to answer him. He bites his lower lip then scratched the back of his head, "I'm sorry.." he whispers, I just smiled and shook my head from right to left.

"It's okay. Now get to your bunk so you can sleep peacefully." I suggested, gently letting go of his arm then putting my hands on my back. I could tell that I'm blushing, even though I couldn't see my own self, I know I'm blushing. I was holding Milo's hand!

Milo looks down to his feet then back up to me, "Yeah.. I-I should do that."

I giggled. "You must be really tired.. go on. I'll follow in a few minutes."

"Then try not to stay up too late," he glared.

I crossed my arms over my chest, "Shouldn't I be the one glaring at you though?"

Milo's eyes widened as the both of us bursted out laughing. "Anyways.. good night, Lorien.."

I uncrossed my arms as my hands found their way into my back pocket, I smiled back to him. "Yeah.. good night to you too.."

Just when I thought that Milo would turn around to get to the back lounge and sleep, the two of us remained looking into each other's eyes. None of us had ever dared to turn the other way and break the contact. Perhaps our eyes know something that we don't...?

"We-well..." Milo whispers as he put his head down with a low chuckle then pointed to his back, "I'm going in first.."

"Oh!" I gasped, "Sure.. of course.. go on..."

He gave me one last smile before spinning himself around and leave me standing here at the front lounge. I really thought my heart would stop beating.. whew.. Milo could really be the death of me.

"Lorien-"

Eh? Who's that?

"Lorien!"

Who is calling for me?

"Behind you-" the voice had said as I turn myself to my back and there stood the man that I like with a beautiful smile across his face. He caresses my cheek with the back of his hand, the other holding mine. As I leaned my face against the warmth of his hand, he chuckles and then pressed our foreheads together.

"Is this a dream?"

"Unfortunately-" Milo whispers and my eyes snapped open, "—yes, my love."

I started to shake my head. "I don't ever want to wake up."

"Lorien—"

"No.." I pulled him into a tight hug. "I want to be with you longer!"

"Wake up, love," Milo whispers into my ear as I begin to cry.

I don't want to!

"Wake up.. you need to."

No..

"This is just a dream.. you have to wake up.."

Please.. no..

"Lorien! Wake up!"

My eyes flew open as somebody has screamed out my name, I pushed away the face of whoever was hovering above me as they bumped their head to the bunk above mine. Uncovering my face from my blanket, I swallowed an invisible lump in my throat when I found that the person was Harry. He was scratching the top of his head as he was groaning low in his throat. Biting up my bottom lip, I carefully slipped out of my bunk and stood straight in front of my twin.

"Good morning," I smiled up to him.

Harry smirks as he leans forward to me, I backed away.

"Yeah... good morning. You must have had a really good dream," he laughs.

I perked a brow. "Wha-what are you talking about?" Harry places a finger on the corner of his lips, as an evil smirk has appeared on his face once again. Growing red all the way to the ears, I covered my whole face with my arms. "What the hell.... get out of here! Wa-wait- just wait for me ba-back there! Just-just... ge-get out of here!"

"What kind of dream was it?"

"Get the hell out of here!"

"Was the person you like in there?"

I blushed even more harder. "I-I swear.. if you say an-another word, I'll smack you!"

He laughs louder, putting his hands into his pocket as he winked down to me. "I was just messing with you. You're cute, twin."

I put my arms down in an instant, glared up at him then kicked him on the leg but he was quick enough to dodge it. "Too slow," he teased.

"Argh! Get back here, you!" I screamed as he ran all the way back to the front lounge.

That guy never really gets tired... but I got to admit, this is something that I miss. My friends back then used to do that to me, they would barge into my room and wake me up early in the morning. And I really think that today and to more days to come, I guess I won't feel lonely anymore, for I have my friends: Zenith. I'm really grateful for this gift. As I hear Tybalt screaming out Harry's name, I giggle then just shook my head from side to side and pulled my hair into a ponytail before stretching my arms out with a yawn. As I finished doing my morning routine, I immediately jumped out of the bus only to see the guys waiting for me.

Now this... is surprising.

My hands slid down to my sides, "Thanks.." I whispered, "—and sorry to keep you all waiting." I finished.

"Nah!" They exclaimed in unison with smiles on their faces.

"Being the only girl in the group, it is only right that we, the gentlemen, to handle you with care."

"I assume you were aware that the guys you are with are this way, hm?" Harry winks.

I giggled, "Yes of course.. thank you."

"And besides-" Milo throws an arm around my shoulders, "—even if they all had left, I'd still stay here and wait for you."

I raised an eyebrow, "Really?"

"Mhm," he hums. "—because I'm sure that the wait will all be worth it."

The last part surprised me. I slowly turn my head up to look at him only to see him already staring down at me and into my eyes. I quickly turned away. What is he saying? Why is he telling me things that could possibly make my heart beat twice faster? This is not good... things are not good anymore... I might really end up falling head over heels for this guy..

Dear Lord, help me.. I don't want to give anyone any trouble...

"I told you there will be a couple this time!" Rin exclaims as he throws a punch up in the air.

Couple? Are they talking about..-

As I look up to this guy walking beside me, he was looking ahead with a smile on his face. His arm is still on my shoulders, his grip will tighten and then loosen from time after time.

"Hey-" I heard somebody from the group of guys in front of us whisper, "—maybe Milo really likes her."

Wait... who likes who now?

"We're here!" The tall blondie with sparkling blue eyes shouted, throwing his arms up in the air as he looked down to me and smiled. He opened the door then returned his eyes to me, I just swallowed a lump on my throat as I make my way inside of the cafe.

Wait.. who does Milo like?

Shaking my head yet again, Harry had found us a table while the others have sprinted into the line to take orders as the rest of us are sat in silence here, surrounding this long and rectangular table. And, having Tybalt in front of me is not good.

It is really not good.

Soon they came back, each with a tray of food in their hands, followed by a man -probably a waiter or a barista- and placed it all on this not so long of a table.

"Thank you," their tour manager whispered to the man who helped them and quickly left our table. "So are you all excited today?" He asked with a clap of his hands, I could tell he is really pumped up. But all for what?

"Excited for what?" I asked back, as Milo who is sitting beside me turned to me and replied, "Did you forget? Today is the first day of tour."

Oh my gosh! That's right! I completely forgot! How stupid of me...

Now I'm feeling as excited as them!

"Give us an awesome show tonight, boys!" They cheered and all howled like wolves.

"Let's make tonight's show intense!" Harry growled.

I just giggled, watching all of them get all excited for tonight. A few months ago, I was watching this scene over on ViewTube- on the phone screen- and I cannot believe that right now, I'm actually watching it live. I am even in their table and the best part is, I am in the camera! My face would probably be shown around the world but I couldn't care less.

That's until I met with Tybalt's stare.

I tried avoiding his eyes; looking down to the floor or to his brothers but they will always end up on Tybalt's hazel brown ones. He has got this look in his eyes that gives me goosebumps.

Is there something on my face? Or does he have anything to tell me? I rubbed my skin and looked the other way but I can still feel his stare on me, I feel so uncomfortable but there's just nothing that I can do about it. What has gotten into him? I thought we were already okay? Why has he suddenly gone back to being cold towards me? He confuses me.

He... scares me.

***

We are now back inside of the bus but the others stayed at the front lounge, probably getting ready for tonight's show while I was just seated here on the couch at the back, pulling my knees towards my chest. I checked the time from my wrist watch- 4:43 PM. Sooner or later, the boys will do their soundcheck. I think we have spend too much time walking around the town and having fun, that it took us almost a day.

But hey.. I still don't get Tybalt. No matter how much I try to forget what he said that night and the way he looked at me earlier, I just can't help myself thinking more about it.

What does he want? What is he trying to imply? What is his reason? What is he thinking? Those are just some of the questions stuck in my mind, but I can't say it out loud and it is killing me.

This is crazy. I am going crazy.

"Lorien?" I removed my arms around my knees and looked up just to see Milo standing beside me. He smiled and sat beside me, "Are you okay? You seemed to be in deep thought since last night," he said as he rested an elbow on his knee and his chin on his closed fist.

"Oh?" I nervously chuckled. "Oh of course! I am okay! Th-thanks for worrying though."

"Are you sure? You know.. you can tell me what's been bothering you, Lorien. I will listen."

I smiled, but mentally slapped my face. This just can't keep on going! Please! Stop being so nice to me, Milo!

"N-no... I'm okay. There is nothing bothering me, believe me."

"I understand," I looked at him, "You don't want to tell me about it." He finishes.

Eh?

He stands up from the sofa as I pulled him back down, "No!"

He looks at me as I turn my head down, "i-it's not that I don't want to tell you about it.. I just-"

"Gotcha!" He exclaims, forming his both hands like a gun and I perked a brow at him. "I was just messing with you. So there is really something bothering you, huh?" I bit my lip in annoyance and rolled my eyes on him.

Milo then sighs, "Okay.. if you really don't want to talk about it for now, then I'll stop insisting. So.... are you excited for tonight's show?"

"Huh?" I gasped, "Well, a bit nervous and I don't know why, honestly."

"Why would you be nervous?"

Not about the show but because you're so close to me!

"I don't know. Anyway! I wish you guys luck and make sure this will be an awesome one!"

"I'll make sure of it!" He howled while I just laughed when again, I caught Tybalt staring at his brother and I. And just when he met with my stare, Tybalt looked to the other way before walking away from here.

Tybalt John Ellis, you're freaking me out.
