"Aaron!" I gasped, surprised to see him in our hotel's basement. He quickly turned his head to me, as the smile on his face began to grow.

"Hey," He waved, as he stood up from the couch. I quickly made my way to him and pulled him into an embrace.

"I thought you stayed in London?" I asked, as we pulled away.

"I guess I just missed you so much that I became your new stalker?" Aaron chuckled, as he ruffled my hair just to annoy me.

"Hey!" I pouted, as I fixed my hair quickly. "Oh, and you're staying here right?" I smiled up to him.

"I mean, if that's okay with you." He trailed, running his fingers through his hair.

"Of course!" I giggled, "I'll book a room for us." I smiled, as he nodded in reply.

We were just about to walk to the receptionist, but a famillar voice called my name, making the two of us stop in our tracks.

"Karen!" Zoe called, coming closer with the whole group.

"Hey guys," I waved, "This is Aaron." I told them, as they the girls hugged him quickly and the boys bro hugged him.

"So this is the famous Aaron," Ashton chuckled, as Aaron laughed.

"Nice to finally meeting you bro," Michael said, "She never shuts up about you." He spoke, pointing at me.

"Shut it Michael," I looked down in embarrassment, as they all laughed along.

"Oh, by the way, we're just going out to grab food," Clover said, "You guys should tag along." She smiled.

"We'd love to," Aaron replied, "but we need a room first." He told everyone.

"Actually, I have one empty room across from mine," Selyn spoke up, "Here you go." She quickly grabbed the key and tossed it to me.

"Thanks," I grinned at Selyn, as she nodded her head in reply.

"Shall we go now?" Luke asked no one in particular.

"But where's Calum?" I asked them, because I'm pretty sure I saw him earlier.

They looked around, probably trying to find Cal. I saw Ashton, Michael, and Luke quickly shared a look, before one of them spoke.

"Uh," Luke scratched his head, "He told me he was feeling ill earlier, so that's why he ran off."

"Oh, alright then." I sighed, before we started walking.

Calum was sick? I didn't know this. As soon as everyone was engaged in their own conversation, I quickly took my phone and opened my texts. I was kind of worried, because Calum was a close friend on mine, and seeing him sick didn't feel right.

Hey Cal, Luke told me you were sick. Are you alright? :(

That's what I decided to write, before I pressed the send button. Calum replied almost instantly, so I quickly opened his text.

Calum: yeah, gotta rest for tonight's show

Me: Are you okay? Do you need anything?

Calum: pretty much, just need some painkiller

Me: I'll bring some when we get home later :)

Calum: thanks, but I don't think those painkillers would work on me. have fun.
