It still hurts.

The Signing

Once Liam got out of the car there was screaming. After the others got out the screams grew even louder, Bree didn't make a move to get out of the car behind Niall. "Where's Bree?" She heard Harry's voice and then Niall's head popped back inside the door. "Come on, Love." He said holding his hand out for her, which she took. "We wont let anything happy to you." He whispered in her ear, as she exited the vehicle. The screams died down as all the fans looked at her, some stares were kind others not so much.

"Hello everyone!" Louis screamed, taking the attention away from Bree. After a few moments the boys were sitting at a long table, and Bree was off to the side.  Liam kept glancing over at her, noticing that she was bored out of her mind. "Excuse me one second." He said to a fan who only smiled and nodded. He got up and walked over to Bree, crouching infront of her. "Here, you can play games on this." He handed her his phone and she took it "The passwords 7724, if I get any texts just ignore them." He said before walking back to the table.

The crowd was getting smaller as the boys signed t-shirts, posters, and took pictures. Bree was getting death glares from many girls, which made her very uncomfortable. It reminded her of the way Allen used to stare at her, pure hatred. But she had never even met these girls, why would they hate her? "Bree, come here!" Niall shouted, pulling her out of her thought. She slowly stood, ignoring the stares and walked over to him. She bent down and he whispered in her ear. "When they look at you like that, just smile and wave. Kill 'em with kindness." She looked at him and smiled "It'll work, trust me." He said and she walked back to her seat.

After the signing was over they all walked back to the car. "That was weird." Louis said, breaking the silence that had taken over. "What was weird?" Zayn asked. Louis pointed at Bree and smiled "They all just stared at her. It was weird!" Everyone chuckled, but Bree just looked out the window. Liam who was sitting beside her tapped her shoulder, causing her to jump. "Are you alright, love?" He asked and she shrugged. Why did everyone hate her so much? She didn't do anything, the boys weren't even her friends, they were just helping her out! "I- I need to go to Ohio." She said.

"Ohio? Why Ohio?"  Harry asked, running a hand threw his dark curls. "My aunt lives there." She lied. "She taking me in since I cant live with my stepfather anymore." The quickly shut up. Why would she mention him? How careless could she get. "Why cant you live with your stepfather?" Liam asked, she put her head down and mumbled "I just cant." They took that as a sing to leave the subject alone. The rest of the car ride was spent listening to Louis singing Blow me one last kiss by Pink.

Once they arrived at the hotel paparazzi swarmed them. Bree was lost in the crowd and she felt a hand take hers, she looked up and saw Liam, who was shielding his eyes from the flashes. It took awhile but the pushed past everyone and got into the hotel. The hotel room was cold and smelled like pizza. "Food!" Niall yelled and ran to the kitchen. Bree walked into the kitchen and saw a tall guy, he was huge not just in height, but in muscle. He frightened her and the boys must have noticed because Louis said. "It's fine Bree, he's our body guard." She pulled a smile and sat on the kitchen chair.

Hours past and Harry came into the room, hanging up his phone. "There's a concert tomorrow." He said and sat beside Bree, on the couch. "Do you want to come?" He asked her, but she shook her head. "I'd rather say here. I've gotten enough death glares as it is." That was the end of that discussion.
