"Back out Tomlinson or this time you will get a strike by a handsome dude." Zayn smirks playfully.

"Yeah I should. But you see Malik, this woman gave me this." Louis points at a small cut that hides a little in his lower lip.

"And you gave her these swollen eyes." Zayn points towards me, this time his tone is serious. I hastily look down to avoid meeting Louis' gaze. I didn't want Zayn to point this out that I have been crying out the whole night.

Louis moves towards me scanning me completely, only this time I don't feel hatred radiating out of his body. Approaching me, he softly says, "Hey, I'm sorry."

I look up to see if it's Louis Tomlinson saying that.

"I didn't want to make you cry." He moves back again and his expressions get hard.

"But whatever I said, I meant it." Louis says it firmly.

"Louis we can talk about that later." Liam tries to turn off the heat that is gulping down the newly bond relations. I say nothing at all. Just staring at Louis Tomlinson and shooting him glares is what I did for the rest of the hour.

After sometime, I hear my stomach grumbling. I want to suppress the sounds so that none of my new band mates hear them. Zayn suddenly glances at me amusingly.

"Hungry?"

"Yup! I told you in the morning. Didn't I?"

I figure there is no use of hiding your hunger. I am going to die in a few more minutes if I don't eat anything. So why die making an expression to everyone else in the room that I was just dying casually and not because of hunger?

"I am sure Bruno is on his way. Just a few more minutes to wait." Zayn seriously tries to console me. Harry nods but his dimples explain that he is enjoying my hunger mode. I had already made my mind that I am never going to hide anything that I feel from these boys. So I stick out my tongue at Harry gaining a raised eyebrow and a laugh from him. The boys try to make some conversation with me in order to lessen the hunger pangs.

"What do you love doing" Liam asks.

"At this moment I can't think of anything Liam, I just love food." I answer honestly because that is what I want now.

"You know you and Niall should never get married to each other. You both love eating. In case, you get married, you will eat this planet in a breakfast."

Harry tries to joke and nobody laughs at it as usual.

"Alright, Zara, C'mon sing a song for us. Let's explore the different pitches that you can reach." Niall smiles.

"Yeah, what do you want me to sing?"

"Sing what you feel like singing."

I close my eyes in hopes of drowning the hunger strokes inside my body.
