Jordan's point of view

When I woke up, I was forced into the bathroom and told to take a shower immediately. When I got in there, I had a few shampoo, conditioner, and lotion bottles in here, along with some body wash. So, I did as they said and took a shower.

However I did not have any towels, so I was stuck inside the shower, dripping wet, and calling for Michael.

"What do you need sweetie?" I heard Ashton ask. "Michael's busy getting dressed himself. I'll grab whatever you need." He told me.

"Towels." I said and Ashton laughed, telling me he'll get me some. I stood her for a minute or two and then he soon, the door opened. I stuck my hand out of the tub and he handed it to me.

The door closed and I wrapped the towel around my body. I stepped out of the shower and then dried myself off a bit more. I put on the lotion and then stepped out of the bathroom.

I pulled a bra and pair of underwear on, and then went to my closet. I grabbed my black jean shorts, black tank-top, and then my denim vest. I threw the outfit on and then grabbed a pair of socks and my boots.

As soon as if finished lacing them up, I stood up and went to my bathroom. I dried my hair with the towel the best I could and then brushed it out. I left it down and then walked out.

I put my phone in my backpack and then wrnt to where all my jewelery was. I put on my heart shaped locket I've had for years, and a few of my rubber bracelets with band names on them.

"Jordan, are you ready?" Michael asked as he walked into my room. I nodded and he smiled. "Come on, let's go. The boys are about to leave aswell." He told me and I nodded.

I followed him out of the room and then looked at the boys who were searching for the keys. "Why do you need keys if you're going to have a driver? What the hell guys?" Michael asked and they all froze.

"Uh," Calum said and I shook my head. I went up to them and gave them all a hug goodnye, which some of them didn't return, cough cough Luke cough cough.

"I'll see you soon squirt. Have fun with Michael and make sure the clothes actual cover what need to be covered. My baby will not be dressing provocativly." Ashton told me and I refrained myself from rolling my eyes. "So go put pants on, those shorts are too short."

"Yes Ashton." I said and he smiled ad he kissed my head. He left with the guys and as soon as the door closed, I laughed. "I hope he knows I'm not changing. These shorts are the perfect length." I said and Michael agreed.

"He's just being protective Jordan. Some guys think with the wrong head, that's all." Michael said and I nodded. "Let's go." He told me and I nodded.

-

"Michael?" I asked as I looked at the cart. Half of this stuff I just looked at and then he inisted I had it. "Do you think that um maybe I should change the way I dress?" I asked.

"No, of course not. The way you dress is fine." He told me. "Why?" He asked as the administrators words repeated in my head. Dress more feminine. Girls are supposed to wear skirts and dresses.

"I don't know. I just, I don't dress very feminine and I feel like that's going to bother you guys." I said and he just laughed. "Why are you laughing?"

"The style you have is not going to bother us Jordan. If you prefer skinny jeans over dresses, so be it. If you'd rather wear combat boots than flats, who are we to say no? As long as it covers what needs to be covered, it's fine with us." He told me and I just bit my lip.

"If it really bothers you that you think you don't dress 'feminime' enough, let me help you pick some things out." He told me and I looked at him. "I can mix the two styles so you don't feel that way but still dress the same."

"Okay." I said and he smiled. I followed him around and he went to an area with skirts. "I haven't worn one in years." I told him as I looked at them all.

"Look, here's a black one." He told me holding it out. "Throw a band shirt over it or a leather jacket over it, and it's not as girly as it looks." He told me and I took it from his hands.

"You're right." I told him and looked at it. "But this is so expensive." I told him and he sighed. "I can't-"

"Ashton gave me a card with thousands of dollars in it and he expects it to be used up by the time we're done Jordan. Do you want to upset him by not using it?" He asked me with a raised eyebrow.

"I guess not," I sighed and he took the skirt from me. He put it in the cart and then walked around with me to see other skirts I could wear that won't seem too girly.

"It's all about how you wear them." He told me. "Skirts don't have to be girly and skinny jeans don't have to be clothes for tomboys only." He said as he held up a leather one. "Like?"

"A lot." I told him and he grabbed one in my size. I looked at a few plaid ones and hummed. They were puffy and had black lace under it. "Would these be okay? I mean, you did buy me tights and leggings. I could wear those under these." I told him and he nodded.

"As long as something is under it, it's fine." He told me and I put it in the car. "Let's get you a few dresses aswell, ones that aren't girly." He said and I smiled while nodded.

"Wait, this is cute." I said, grabbing a marroon skirt. I grabbed one in my size and then put it in the cart. "Okay, finished here." I told him and he laughed.

"When we buy your bras and underwear, I'm not going with you, I hope you know that. It's embarrassing." He told me and I laughed. I nodded and told him I'd do it myself.

When we got to the dress area, I grimaced at how much pink there was and how short some of them were. "Yeah, let's not get any dresses from here, please." I told him as I looked at him. He had the same expression as I did.

"Yeah, let's not." He said and we went to the cash register. "We can go to a different store that sells dresses, ones that aren't so... pink and so short." He told me and I agreed.

When he paid for the items, I took the bags into my hands. I had the lighter ones while Michael carried thr heavier ones. I b ad my tank-tops and skirts while he had my jeans and jackets.

"We'll also go by a few jewelry stores and shoe stores. I'm dying to help you pick out some new boots and such." He told me and I laughed, nodding with him.

-

We walked into a shoe store and we walked right past all of the high heels and all of the sandals since I would never wear those. When we got to a spot where they have boots, Michael started actually looking, and so did I.

"Look how badass these are." Michael said, holding up a pair of boots. "If they're too high, just fold them down, and there's no heel on this." He said and I nodded.

I looked for one in my size and then he sat me down so I could try them on. I pulled them on and then stood up with them. "They look nice." He told me and then got down on one knee so he could fold them down. "Yeah, they look good on you."

"They're comfortable as hell." I said and then walked around a bit. Michael asked if I wanted to buy them and I just nodded. "I like them." I said and then took them off. We put them away and then looked around some more.

"Besides for boots, which I'll look for some more for you, do you like anything else? Converse? Uggs? Vans? Jordans? Nikes?" He asked me as I he looked through some boots.

"I wear Vans and Converse yeah. All those other brands, no. Jordans now remind me of exotic fish with all the neons and different colors." I said and he laughed, agreeing with me.

"Go grab some Vans and Converse then. Whatever shoes you like, try them on and if you like them, bring them back here so I can buy them for you." He said and I nodded, walking off.

The store was large and there were so many displays of different kinds of shoes. I laughed at how colorful some were and how high heeled others were. How someone could wear those was beyond me.

I saw a display for Converse and I ran over to it. I looked through them and then grabbed a pair of black and white ones. I sat down and grabbed one in the same size I had the boots. When I tried them on, they were a bit too big, so I went a size down, which was perfect.

I grabbed a pair and then saw a display for Vans, which was pretty awesome. I guess it's because so many people wear these that they have their owm displays, such as the one for Jordans that were right next to me.

I went to the display and then tried on a pair of all black ones. When I found one that fit perfectly, I grabbed them and then turned around. I looked around and saw Michael was in a different row, a few boxes beside him.

I walked over to him and he smiled. "Hey Patrick, I'll call you later about the interview for us. Yeah, I know. Okay. Bye." He said and then hung up. "Found some you like and that fit?" I nodded and he took the boxes from me.

He handed me three boxes and I opened the first one. "I found some boots I'd think you like and grabbed them in your size. Try them on." He told me and I nodded.

I tried on the three pairs, amazed at how well he was at shoe shopping. They were perfect. "I love these. Tell me how you're so good at shopping." I said and he laughed.

"It's nothing. It's just easier to shop when you know what to look for." He told me and I nodded. "Come on, we're going to a few more stores before we head home." He told me. "We need to get your girly things, clothes and all that other fun stuff, then we're heading to a store that sells band shirts. You need those."

"Band store first please." I said and he nodded as he helped me carry the millions of boxes to the cash register.

-

"Now is the time to see what bands you like and what other jeans you want. They have a lot of nice ones here." He told me and I agreed.

"I have a lot of bands, beware." I told him and he shrugged his shoulders, holding out a credit card. "Like All Time Low, I love them so much." I said, looking at their shirts.

"Grab whatever shirts you like. It can be five, it can be fifteen, hell, fifty if you want." He told me. "We have the money Ashton gave us, and then I have a few hundreds in my wallet." He told me and I nodded.

"Help me find some so it doesn't take as long?" I asked him and he nodded. "Look for Bring Me The Horizon, Sleeping With Sirens, Pierce The Veil, Escape The Fate, Falling In Reverse, and Black Veil Brides?" I asked.

"I think I should have been the one to adopt you, not Ashton. His music taste is not that good." He said and I laughed as he walked away, looking for nice shirts from those bands.

I looked through the All Time Low shirts and soon, I bumped into someone. "I am so sorry," a boy's voice said and I turned around. "I was just looking for some shirts." He told me and I smiled.

"It's fine," I said and he smiled at me. "And All Time Low?" I assumed and he nodded. "I think this would look nice on you." I told him, grabbing one with their new album lyics on it.

"Thank you," he told me. "I'm Timothy." He said, holding a hand out. I shook his hand and smiled.

"Jordan." I told him as he looked through the shirts some more. "How old are you Timothy?" I asked, noticing he looked about my age.

"Fourteen. And you miss Jordan?" He asked and I told him. "Are you here alone?" He asked me as he pulled a shirt out and looked at it.

"No, I'm here with a friend of my dad's." I said and he nodded. "I'm assuming you're not here alone either, are you?" I asked and he shook his head.

"My mum brought me here after I forced her to." He said and I laughed. "She hates this store. She claims it's for gothic morons who worship satan." He told me.

"Nice mum." I joked and he agreed. "I hope you know, that is a girl's shirt." I told him and he nodded. He held it out for me and I took it. "Aww, thanks." I said and he shrugged.

"It would have been rude if I didn't help." He told me. "Do you have a phone?" He asked and I nodded. "Can I have your number?"

"I just got this, so I don't know my own number, but you can put yours in it." I said and he nodded as we laughed. I pulled my phone out and handed it to him.

"Text me sometime yeah?" He asked as someone began calling him. I nodded and he smiled. "Talk to you whenever." He said and then walked away.

Soon, Michael walked over, unaware of the fact I was just talking to a boy and smiled. "If you need more band shirts, I can help you. I know you listen to Blink-182 and Green Day." He told me.

"Yeah, that'd be great." I told him and we began looking for more shirts.
