Meeting the Fans: This Is Us (ON HOLD)

The Hotel Meeting

ZAYN'S POV:

The ride to the hotel was rather quiet following the exchange at the meet and greet.

But by the time we got to the hotel, Harry had cooled off and was joking around with everyone like nothing had happened.

"So that was a fun meet and great wasn't it?" Harry commented as we all got out of the van.

"What?! It was fun?" Niall asked.

"Yeah, you didn't think so?" Harry asked Niall. He looked over at him bewilderedly.

"No, I did! I just didn't think that you- AHH!"

Right at that moment, Liam ran up to Niall and stomped hard on his foot.

What did you do that for, Liam?" Niall said limping to the left.

"What? Did I step on your foot, Niall? I'm so sorry! I thought I saw something falling from above." He said while giving Niall a hard look that said 'shut up'.

I laughed behind them along with Louis. Liam looked back at us murderously, and I raised my hand in surrender.

"Do you think he broke Niall's foot?" Louis whispered as we watched Niall limping to the lift.

"I sure hope not!" I replied.

We caught up to Liam, who had hung back waiting for us. I switched sides so that Louis was closer to Liam.

"Now there is no reason to step on my feet, Liam. I can take a hint!" Louis said playfully.

"I didn't mean for it to be that hard, I just didn't want him to send Harry over the edge. Harry has clearly blocked most of the meet and greet out of his mind." Liam mused guiltily.

"I thought he was joking!" I blurted out.

Louis and Liam both looked at me like I was gone off the deep end. Well there I go being out of the loop again. It's like everything is an inside joke and I'm a fan on the outside.

"You were there weren't you Zayn?" Liam asked sarcastically.

"Did you see the way he reacted when we confronted him about Marie? He went off!" Louis added.

"And-" Liam began.

"Ok I see your point! But I don't get the part where you think he blocked it all out! I think he just chooses to ignore it. Maybe pretend it didn't hap- Ok the looks you are giving me are so rude!" I frowned.

"I don't know what you are talking about!" Louis replied and turning on his heel, walked to the lift.

Yes, we have been standing in the lobby the entire time.

A crowd of girls were beginning to grow outside the lobby doors. I waved to them as I followed Liam to the lift that Louis was holding open impatiently.

"Gosh! Could you two take any longer? You both walk very slow; about as slow as Harry talks!" Louis complained when the lift started moving.

I was on full watch to make sure he wouldn't decide to start stepping on feet now!

We got out of the lift on the top floor and began the trek down the hallway to our room. About halfway down, a door on the left opened up and a girl was framed in the doorway.

She looked so startled to see us outside of her room, and stood there in shock!

We didn't really know what to do, so we just waved and said hello.

She mumbled something that I didn't quite catch.

"What's that?" Liam said stopping and turning around.
