Hey There Delilah (Sequel to Not The Same)

Screw Up

'-------Kiani's POV (Written by Anomnomous! WRITER COLLAB!) ----- 

I sorted through the drawers of files feverishly, looking for the file containing all of the contracts that the contestants had signed. I furrowed my brow as I was sorting through the files and finally found the over-stuffed packet of papers. I slammed it onto the table and began sorting through more of the files to find more of the safety release forms. After that I dug through my drawers to find the recipt to the rental bill for the venue that we were using tonight. I sighed loudly and plopped down into my chair and stuffed my head into my hands. I sat there for a few seconds, almost inducing cardiac arrest when a large hand began rubbing big circles on my back. I turned slowly to see who it was and relaxed a little to see my husband searching me with worried eyes. 

"Are you okay?" 

Tears welled in my eyes, I was not okay, I was swamped, I was practically managing a televison show whilst the producers were in the other room smoking cigars and laughing it off. Including Simon! 

"I'm fine, stressed is all." I shrugged. Stressed was the last of it, more like swamped. I wanted to see Audrey again, seeing her there, crying, practically being interrogated. We all just.... Cornered her, it wasn't fair. She couldn't run away from her problems, unlike Liam, who had scampered out of the room as if it was him that we were cornering. 

"You're still thinking about what happened aren't you?" He said as he pulled me out of the chair. I nodded and buried my face in to his chest.

"Is she going to be here tonight, for Delilah? I would hate for her not to come because we sort of cornered her in that dreadful room."

"Yeah, she RSVP'd for the reserved seat last night."

I sighed a little out of relief and gave him a quick kiss before I bent over to pick the stacks of papers that I need to relay to the directors.  Zayn grabbed my arm before I passed the threshold and took the stacks of papers out of my hands and set them on the floor. He snaked his arms around me and enveloped me in a tight hug. I relaxed a little, trying to return the tight hug but had pinned my arms to my sides in his attempt to squeeze all of the sadness out of me. I smiled at the thought, he did this quite often, most times he would keep me like this for a good hour, and if I was lucky, a good hour and a half. But it was about 2 hours to show time and I could hear all of the make up artists bustling in with carts of make up and hair product in the room 3 doors down. One of the interns shuffled in, blushing a little at the sight of my husband holding me tightly. I did a little point to the papers on the floor, 

"Over there, the recipt, the contracts, and the safety releases." 

She bent over to pick them up as she stood up she nudged me a little held out 10 fingers for me, signaling 10 minutes until the 1D family was supposed to make it to their seats behind the judge's podeum. I relayed the message to my husband as she left my office. He let go of me and stood in front of me, signaling that he was going to give me a piggy back ride. I happily obliged as he took me down the halls slowly, giving me time to look through all of the doors we passed, I looked into the first door that we past and tapped his shoulder signaling him to stop.

"Hey, you two, break it up, not when we're less than an hour from show time."

The couple broke off from groping each other and the girl peered over her partner's shoulder. Noelle?! Noelle! I tried not to get her in trouble with her dad and shooed him on ward as Noelle's partner whirled around too. Was that Declan?! What the fuck?! I gaped as Zayn took me down the halls and into the seats, where cameras filmed and flashed lights at our childish moment. Noelle needed to stop that! Declan would break her heart! And it would cause scandal in the media! Not to mention what her brother and he father would do to the boy. Zayn set me down in my seat, and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek before walking after the crew member that was flagging him down. I looked to my left and my heart did a little jump, Audrey? Audrey was in the seat next to me, with bug eyes almost as big as my own.
