The Wild Popstar

Chapter Twelve: Confusion and Fights

NO ONE'S POV

Liam stood under the shower, the hot water falling over his head, calming his nerves. He couldn't figure out what went wrong. Nothing fit in. The whole day had been absolutely absurd. First Alexia had been unnecessarily rude at the radio interview, and then she wen on to cause a riot at the meeting. This was totally out of character for her.

Usually a few minutes under a hot steaming shower were enough to calm him down, but today anger was just boiling inside him. He was still very angry over the incident at the management building. He decided that once he was calm enough, he'd go and talk to her. He regretted the way he spoke to her. No matter how she behaved or felt, Liam cared for her and he was sure that the other boys did too.

After a few more minutes under the shower, Liam decided that he was calm enough. So he stepped out and grabbed a towel from the rack, tying it around his waist. He stepped in front of the mirror and wiped off the mist that was formed. Staring at his reflection, he sighed deciding that he'd have to trim his beard. It had overgrown in some places. The thoughts of his beard reminded him of Sophia. He hadn't spoken to her throughout the day. That was a rare thing, but then again the wasn't an ordinary one. He promised himself that once he had finished speaking to Alexia, he'd Face Time his girlfriend.

After trimming the overgrown parts of his beard, Liam walked out o the bathroom to get dressed. Just as he opened his suitcase, his phone started ringing.

Niall. Why was he calling?

"Hello." Liam greeted in his heavily accented voice.

"Mate, there's a problem. Could you meet us in Louis' room, please?" The Irish lad said, his voice was frantic.

"What is it that happened?" Liam asked slightly alarmed, but then again for Niall even the stupidest thing could be a major problem.

"This is major, mate. I can't tell you over the phone. Meet us there."

"I'll be there in five." Liam said before disconnecting. He sighed again. Sophia would have to wait.

Back in his room, Zayn had similar thoughts. He couldn't help but wonder how a simple spilled beverage could cause so much havoc. The day had been terrible. From his experience of having three sisters, he knew about girls and their mood swings, but this was just a terribly sour mood. He just couldn't fathom what was wrong with her, Liam had told them that she refused to spill anything.

As much as Zayn wanted to go to Alexia's room and ask her what was wrong, he knew that he wasn't her favorite person at the moment and neither was she. Going to her room would only cause another row. He'd ask one of the boys to go and talk to her. He knew that leaving her alone to dwell in her own thoughts wasn't really a wise thing to do. Although she was sixteen, sometimes Alexia's mind worked like a seven year old. If you left her alone, she'd only think that no one cared. Especially after the meeting fiasco.

Zayn's chain of thoughts was interrupted by a phone call similar to the one Liam received.

Louis.

Zayn slid his finger across the screen to recieve the call but before he could say anything, Louis started speaking.

"It leaked." Louis' voice wasn't anything above a whisper.

"What? What are you talking about?" Zayn asked, he was confused.

"Zayn! The video, it leaked." Louis said, much louder this time.

"Which vid- Oh! Holy Fuck! What?! I thought you deleted it? What the fuck? How did that happen?" His voice was as frantic as Louis's.
