One Way or Another (One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter 27

I woke up alone pretty late in the morning. There was a note on the night table beside the bed.

Hey, babe! I'm so sorry, but I had to go to rehearsals! I didn't want to wake you up! You looked too cute and peaceful. I'll see you at about 3, alright? Love you :) -Niall

I found that sweet. He thought I was cute when I slept. He's too much of a charmer.

I continued to lie down in bed. The hotel beds were so comfortable, and the pillows were always ridiculously soft. I wanted to steal a pillow and personally keep it. I didn't want to get arrested, though. Could someone get arrested for stealing a pillow? I shrugged off the strange thought.

I got dressed in some skinny jeans and a t-shirt. I looked in the mirror and my hair was disastrous. It had no idea what it was doing. Random strands were sticking out everywhere. I tried brushing it out to calm it down, but that was no use. I put my hair half up half down. That seemed to work a little better. I decided to live with it and move on.

I was starved. I hadn't eaten in hours, and my stomach was growling. There was a box of cereal sitting on the counter in the hotel room kitchen. Yes! I poured myself a bowl, and ate down my food within minutes. It was relatively a large portion, so I didn't need any other food after that.

I brushed my teeth. That was when I realised I was stuck in the hotel room. There was no where else I could possibly go without getting lost, and I run the risk of fans noticing me. Some people were completely mental when it came to the boys' relationships.

I heard my ringer go off from the other room. I ran there as fast as I could. I was expecting Niall to be calling, but it wasn't. It was Jess.

"Hello?" I answered.

"What happened to our flat? Where are you? What did I miss?" Jess immediately asked.

I knew she would find out by actually going back home. "Listen, it's a long story. Lucas came back, Jess. He broke into our flat and actually started living there. He moved himself in, but I found that out the hard way. It's not safe there! You have to leave." I explained.

"How did you not know he was here? Wait, when did this happen?" Jess continued to question.

"I don't know when it happened. I was staying with Louis for a few weeks. He must've done it then. I just came back there one day, and everything was there and it was frightening. He almost got me."

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Anna! I had no idea! I'm sorry I never returned your call or anything. I would've known about this sooner if I did." Jess said.

I nodded before realising that she couldn't see me. "Yeah. It's okay." I said quietly.

"Wait, Louis? Why were you staying with Louis? I thought you and Harry were something or something." Jess said, confused.

"I got hurt and Louis wanted to look after me. He's just a really good friend. No, Harry and I weren't something. He's just my best friend. I'm dating Niall." I confessed.

"Oh, congratulations! I'm so happy that you and Niall are happy!" Jess exclaimed.

"Yes, thank you! It's really great." I said, smiling.

There was a pause before Jess started speaking again. "So, where are you exactly?"

"I'm currently in Dublin. The boys are taking me on tour with them because they want to look out for me after that whole Lucas-incident." I casually said.

"Shut up! That's amazing! You're going to travel the world with them?" Jess said in disbelief.

"I guess I am!" I chuckled. Never ever did I think that I would go on tour with anyone.
