Little Princess ~A.M~

Chapter 8

~Scarlet's POV~

This morning I had woken up with the biggest grin plastered on my lips. Today's the day I meet Niall Horan and Liam Payne! Today's the day I get to see my crazy best friend again!

To say I'm excited would be an understatement.

I jumped out of bed and ran into the bathroom, turning the shower on.

"Scar! Ry's gonna be here soon, you nearly ready?", Aston spoke from the other side of the bathroom door.

I was sat on the floor leaning up against the wall, with my knees up to my chest and the tears streaming down my cheeks, thoughts of my mum had been flooding my head since I got in the shower almost half an hour ago and for the last 15 minutes or so I had been sat here, crying my heart out, wanting this emotional pain to be over.

I took a breath as I leaned my head back, "Y-Yea, nearly".

There was a pause before I heard shuffling and a gentle knock on the door, "Scarlet, let me in babe".

I closed my eyes tightly as more tears ran down my cheeks, I opened my mouth to speak but a sob erupted from the back of my throat, I quickly put my hand over my mouth, not wanting Aston to hear.

"You're crying! Scarlet, talk to me, please babe".

Aston tried turning the door handle but I had it locked, "Scarlet, please open the door", I could tell by the tone of Aston's voice he was really starting to get worried.

I took another deep breath to try and calm myself down, I pulled myself up off the shower floor, wrapped a towel around me and unlocked the door, I opened it to see Aston standing right in front of me, he took one look at me before pulling me into a tight hug.

He started rubbing my back, knowing it helped calm me down, "Shh shh babe, I'm here, I'm here now", he spoke in a whisper as he slowly started pulling away from me, I had other ideas though as I quickly tightened my grip around his waist, he sighed slightly but wrapped his arms back around me.

"I miss her Ast! I miss her so much!", I sobbed into his chest.

"I know you do babe, I know", he kissed my head as I finally got myself together and pulled away from him.

He looked down at me and wiped the tears away, "How do you feel?".

I shrugged slightly causing Aston to frown, he let out a soft sigh as he spoke. "Rylie is gonna be here soon, you best get dressed, then we can head down".

At the mention of my best friend, a small smile started to form on my lips, "Yea, you don't have to come with me though".

Aston looked at me for a few seconds before speaking, "Scar, I'm not sure.....".

"Ast, it's not like I'll be leaving the hotel and Rylie is gonna let me know when she gets here, Hannah is dropping her off so I'll be fine".

Aston sighed deeply in defeat as he nodded once, "Fine, but come straight back to the room, OK?".

I smiled slightly as I kissed his cheek, "OK".

I grabbed my clothes then made my way to the bathroom and quickly got changed, as soon as I was changed my phone started ringing, I opened the bathroom door, ran over to it and answered it but before I had time to speak a loud scream came from over the phone, causing me to cringe and quickly move the phone from my ear.

"I'M HERE! HURRY UP BABE!", Ry shouted as I heard Hannah laughing in the background.

"On my way down Ry! See ya in a sec!".
