Moments of Happiness

Harry

We spent almost half an hour negotiating the terms of just asking Joanne and Lauren to join us. It was exhausting, fighting management always was. By the time we left Louis and I were barely able to keep our eyes open, and don't even bother thinking about having me walk a straight line. Neither of us would have been able to do it. We made it back to the rec room where Liam, Niall, Joey, and Lauren were to find that only a passed out Liam and barely conscious Niall on the couches.

"Where did Lauren and Joey go?" I asked, barely managing to control my rising panic. Niall opened his eyes and stared at me in confusion. "Niall! Mate! Where did they go!" I said slowly getting louder.

"Hey. There you guys are. We thought you had abandoned us and run of to join the circus." Niall muttered. His eyes slid shut again and the only thing stopping me from going over and strangling him was Louis' hand on my arm. I turned to him with wide panicked eyes. He squeezed my arm before going over to Liams couch. I watched as he bent down and gripped the bottom of the couch. And then he flipped it.

Liam popped up, sputtering and awake. "What the hell man!" He turned on Lou. Lou just smirked.

"Where are Joey and Lauren?" I asked him. He gave Lou another glare before facing me.

"Well, if you hadn't noticed, it's about midnight here. We were starting to fall asleep and so were they. They went back to their hotel after we called a car for them. They were more than pleased to not have to walk or take a bus or cab." He said yawning.

"Did you get their hotels name? Or a phone number? Anything that I could get in touch with them through?" I asked rolling my eyes as he went to lay back down. He just shook his head.

"Why would we? They were just a couple of lucky fans that got to meet us." He mumbled as he stretched out again.

"Not even a Twitter handle? Nothing?" I asked. Normally we follow fans on Twitter that get to come backstage.

"To tired to think of that." Niall mumbled. I turned to glare at him but it went unnoticed as he was face down on the couch. I gave up and went to get someone to bring our van around to take us to our hotel. One of the random crew guys was more than happy to go get the van and I let my mind wander as I waited. We had stopped staying on the bus if we had more than one night of show in a city. We stayed on one or two buses now. The second one was mostly for the band and some of the crew but it also offered a nice on the road escape if one of the others was annoying us.

Since Zayn left when we stay in a hotel we get 3 rooms. The four of us split up into 2s and our security team gets the third, before we took up 5 to 6 rooms. Man, I miss Zayn. Sure, we all do. Liam the most, they were the closest, then Louis. Because of rumors that the fans start management had to split us into 3 and 2. Normally it was Zayn, Liam, and Lou and then Niall and I, but sometimes it was Zayn and Lou and then Liam, Niall, and me. It all depended on the active rumors that were circulating. My thoughts were cut short by a crew member telling me the van was here. He has Niall, Liam, and Lou in tow. Lou is the only one who looks somewhat alive. We follow the guy out a door at the very back of the building. We even managed to avoid the crazy fans that like to stay till even the crew leaves.

Niall and Liam were out the minute they got their seat belts on. Lou leaned his head back and closed his eyes but I knew he was still awake. I on the other hand was almost to wired to blink. This often happens after a concert, especially the really great ones. It's hard to sleep with all that energy and the vibes coursing through my body.

After 20 minutes of driving down barely lit back streets we pulled up behind our hotel. I elbowed our two very own sleeping beauties and hopped out after Lou. We dashed in the open back door and into the waiting service elevator. They always do this. They think that fans are always waiting everywhere. And after that one fan in Russia, they don't let us in the stair cases with out heavy security. It only takes one fan nearly pushing Liam down the stairs for things to change in policy. I smirked at the memory as we followed our body guards down the hallway to our doors. I was supposed to room with Niall tonight so when I opened the door I had to hold it open for him so that he wouldn't get hit in the face as it shut.

I hadn't even turned on any of the lights before he was face down on the bed snoring. I chuckled and began to take his shoes off when there was a knock on the door that connected our room to Louis and Liams. I open the door to find a barely awake Liam.

"Harry says we need to switch. He wants me to room with Niall tonight." He says yawning. I nod and turn to grab my suitcase. I was zipping it shut when I heard a second snore join Nialls. I turned and bit back a laugh at the sight. Liam was passed out in the same face down position as Niall. I shook my head and after zipping shut my case, I went over to finish pulling off Nialls shoes. Then I rolled him over and pulled the covers over him. I repeated the process with Liam then turned off the lights as I made my way into the other room.

I dropped my bag next to the dresser and flopped onto the vacant bed. I could feel Lou staring at me so I rolled over. He watched as I kicked off my vans and rolled onto my back to stare at the ceiling. "How am I supposed to ask them to join us now?" I ask, not bothering to give Lou time to respond I continued. "They didn't get any info on either of them! Liam always does that! It's part of his Daddy Direction job description. He is suppose to be the responsible one." I huff. Louis just waits. "I can't even remember their last names! Not that that would do me any good on Twitter. Hardly anybody in the fandom uses their real name." I grumble. I go to take a breathe and Lou jumps in.

"Lets just worry about it tomorrow. Joey told me that they are staying in the area for a couple days before they go back up to Canada." He says. I turn and stare at him. He just stares back. Finally I nod and go back to staring at the ceiling. "Wanna watch something? Since we're both awake and you obviously aren't going to sleep any time soon." I nod again. He grabs the remote and I grab on of the pillows off my bed before hopping onto his. He finds some American game show about an obstacle course with these big red balls and swinging arms. After a couple commercial breaks we decide to order room service. We have to get one of our security guards to order and get the food delivered to his room so that they don't know that One Direction is here. He brings it over when they leave and we go back to watching tv. I put the dishes out in the hallway when I'm done and turn off the lights before getting back on Louis' bed.

Louis

It's dark now and Harry is so focused on the show that he doesn't notice that i keep glancing at him. Then he falls asleep on my bed. I turn off the tv so that it doesn't wake him back up. Now that it's completely dark it was easy to fall asleep as well.

N/A. Hey all you wonderful people, what did I tell you. A long chapter. Hope you had an awesome 4th and were safe.
