Turning Tables l.p (COMPLETED)

Chapter Thirteen

"We're here!" Niall says as we approach a hotel.

"So you all will be sharing a room tonight? Ashleigh is that fine with you? They're harmless, annoying but harmless." Josh says, walking up to the front of the bus

"Totally," I smile.
"Wonderful, come on children." Josh says as we all stand up.

"Ash, if Liam makes any moves on you, I'll save you." Niall winks as we get out the bus.

I laugh, "We wouldn't want that now would we?" I say looking up at Liam who's rolling his eyes and placing his hand around my shoulder.

"Liam! I will hurt you." Niall says, jumping in front of us.

"Horan." Liam's voice warns him.
Niall puts his hands up, "Okay, Okay." He moves over next to Louis.

"Okay, so you guys can get something to eat from the hotel, and then we need to go to sound check." Josh says.

"Okay." They all say at once. As we get closer, screams are heard.

"What the hell?" I say.

As there are soon dozens of screams I look up at Liam, who just looks forward. He turn attention to me.

"What?"
"The scr-"
"It's the fans," Harry smiles at me.
"Wow..."
As we enter the back of the huge hotel, I notice large men everywhere. My hand slips into Liam's and he squeezes.

"Okay, so where do we find the food?" Niall says.

"Errr, We go down here." Liam says.

We travel down some stairs and I'm surrounded by smells of food. My stomach turns but I know I have to try, I promise Liam I would try.
We spot a couple of young children with their mother, getting their lunch. There is a blonde five year old girl holding hands with her older ten year old brunette sister.
Louis and Niall go get us stuff while we go to the hotel room. Liam, Harry and I are laughing and making jokes. As we get to the top room, we see a guard outside the room and he takes out a card and swipes it in the lock before opening it.
"Thank you mate," Harry smiles.
He nods as we go in.
It's breath taken: this room. There are four queen sized beds along with five suitcases on the floor. As Liam chooses his bed; or shall I saw OUR bed, I go to the window and I see a beautiful view of a pond and a park. I can feel Liam grinning at me.
"Hey guys?" Harry says, making me turn back.
"Hm?" Liam says, sitting down.
"You guys are actually dating.. Right?"
Liam looks up at me before his eyes travel to Harry, "Of course we are." He smiles.
Harry frowns and looks at me and I nod in agreement.
I just lied to Harry Styles.
Louis and Niall comes back with a huge bowl of fruit.
"Finally! Took you long enough!" Liam's throat cracks.
"We have like ten minutes to eat guys," Niall says handing us smaller bowls.
We all get on one bed and sit criss cross apple sauce (c: yes) and start passing the salad around. My bowl is filled with pineapple chucks, melon slices and strawberries. As everyone starts eating they chat about tonight's show and I'm having a mental breakdown with my insides. I take my fork and stick it in a pineapple chuck before inside my mouth. I feel very sick to my stomach and I feel Liam's hand rubbing my back as telling me I can do it and I eat another piece and another.
"I have a question." I blurt, they all turn to me.
"And we might have an answer." Louis says.
"How does it feel.. You know being in front of thousands of people?" I laugh a bit.
"Well- it's great. It feels like I'm the most important person in the world." Niall says.
"Soft side of Neil." Liam says.
"It feels really great- I can't explain it," Louis says.
"It's like finding a purpose of being alive in every single person there." Liam laughs.
"Yeah." Harry chuckles before taking a mouth filled of fruit.
Josh enters the room and steals Louis' last strawberry, "I haven't eaten all day okay." He laughs and Louis joins.
"We have sound check in five so we should get going now." Josh says.
"Then shall we?" Harry says.
We all put our bowls on top of each other, all empty but mine.
Louis puts the bowls on the table in the back of the room and we all head out.
"Ashleigh, you can go shopping with very nice young lady, her name is Hazel. Sadly you're not permitted to enter the stadium until the concert, I tried doing everything I could but-"
I cut Josh off, "It's fine!" I smile and Liam places a kiss on my forehead.
We get to the main lobby and I'm greeted by a girl with short green hair and Hazel colored eyes, she's very short for being around my age.
"Hazel- this is Ash. Ash this Hazel. Hazel is my younger sister and she works with the boys and song writing."
Hazel smiles at me, "Hi, nice to meet you."
"You too." I return the smile.
"Okay, we have to go now, you guys have fun!" Josh says.
Liam kisses me on my cheek quickly and says bye.
"Well, let's go! I have Joshie's credit card!" Hazel holds up a debit card.
