Chapter 29:

I woke up in Liam and Danielle's living room surrounded by sleeping bodies. I sat up, gently kissing Harry on the forehead before getting up and heading towards the kitchen. I saw Zayn stood by the toaster waiting for it to pop, he had his back to me so I saw this as an opportunity to scare him. I slowly creeped up behind him and stood on my tip-toes, reaching my mouth to his ear... "BOO!" He shot into the air and pushed me to the hard floor in the process. My wrist banged against the tiled floor and I yelped as a sharp pain shot up my hand.

"Shit! Sorry Emma! Are you okay?!" he rushed grabbing my other wrist and helping me to my feet. I held my left wrist as it throbbed every now and then.

"Yeah, I'm fine. It's my own fault, I shouldn't have scared you. Sorry Zayn." I apologised as I examined my sore wrist.

"It's fine. I'm sorry I pushed you, I did overreact a bit - its just I thought you were some sort of serial killer!" I chuckle at his assumption, "Is your wrist okay?!" before I could answer Harry came bursting through the kitchen door, sliding slightly on the tiles.

"Emma?! What's happened? Are you okay?" he asked as he came running towards me, examining my facial features before averting his eyes to my left wrist. "Is it your wrist?" I nodded slowly before explaining.

"I scared Zayn, and when he jumped he pushed me and I hit my wrist on the floor. It'll only be a bruise, I'll get a slight bump and that's it. Nothing to worry about." I smiled, attempting to calm him down which thankfully seemed to work. He nodded his head slowly and brought my wrist to his mouth, kissing it better. It was only now that I realised his appearance; his hair was a curly mess, his eyes squinting due to the harsh morning light and his voice sleepy and husky as he spoke. I pecked his cheek before going upstairs to change and get my bags together.

"What are you up to today Em?" Niall asked me as I walked down the stairs.

"I have an interview today about the new film and the premiere tomorrow." I replied, giving him a side hug as we walked into the living room. "What about you?"

"Well we have another meeting with Simon and management about the tour." he responded.

"Ohhh, say hi to Simon for me!" I exclaimed. Simon knew about me and Harry, he was one of the first people Niall rang - he seemed to support mine and Harry's relationship which I really appreciated.

"I will do!" he raised his voice as he walked further away and in Hayley's direction. I smiled at them - they're so cute together!

"Hey babe, what times your interview?" I looked at the time on my phone. 10:34am.

"It's at 11. I should really start heading over there now." I returned sadly, not wanting to leave everyone. He pouted at my answer and wrapped his arms around my shoulder allowing me to wrap my arms around his waist. "Oww." I muttered.

"Are you okay? Is it your wrist?" he asked curiously.

"Yeah, I'll be fine." he brought my hand up to his mouth again and kissed it. He smiled as his face rose up to meet mine, pecking my lips before I detatched myself from him. "Right everyone, I'm off! I'll see you all soon!" I shouted to everyone as I began walking to the door. The room filled with groans and negative murmurs.

"But we don't want you to go! Why don't you stay?" Louis whined voicing everyone's thoughts.

"Because I have work and so do all of you, so I need to get going. And I can't see any press outside so it would be better for me to go now than risk it later. Sorry guys." I tried to reason with them.

"Why don't you guys just go public? Then you can do what ever you want." Louis whined yet again, earning a light hit on the shoulder off Eleanor. I opened my mouth slightly to respond hearing no words come out of my mouth; me and Harry hadn't really discussed going public, I didn't know how he felt about it. I mean, I'm happy the way things are because there is no fuss with the press or rumours or hate. But at the same time I don't get to see them as much because we have to sneak around unnoticed - which is hard! I stuttered in the same position until Harry rescued me.
