Love at the X Factor (on hold) :(

Chapter 15

It's been two weeks since Natalie left. I miss her like crazy. We still talk of course and she always encourages me.

We are obviously back in Los Angeles. The judge's houses episode aired a little over a week ago and they decided to give us a two week break before we started the live shows. Tomorrow was the first one.

"I dunno what to wear." I groaned, throwing myself onto my hotel bed. I got a room to myself, which I was okay with. Even though the boys would sneak over to my room and vice versa. Even though they had gotten into trouble for sneaking out of their hotel room to go to the beach and to Cracker Barrel without a body guard. They are now always heavily guarded as Harry got mobbed last weekend.

"You'll look great in anything." Niall smiled at me, kissing my forehead.

"I'm starving." Zayn groaned, obviously bored with me rifling through every single article of my clothes.

"Wanna go grab a bite at that pizza parlor down the street?" Harry asked.

"You're gonna have to ask Paul or someone to come with us." Zayn said with a small eye roll. They were all annoyed about the whole bodyguard thing.

"Already on it." Harry said just as one of their guards, Derek, walked in. He was a big guy with a bald head. He looked tough, but he was a sweetheart. Especially to me. The people on the crew at X Factor want me to eventually get a guard as they are saying 'I'm getting quite popular', but I think that's ridiculous.

"Pizza time!" Louis yelled, running over to me and tackling me to the ground. "Oh, oops. Sorry." Louis said, helping me up, but he was laughing his ass off nonetheless.

We headed out to the pizza place, our bodyguard in tow. There were hundreds of girls outside the hotel.

"How'd they find us?" Louis whispered to Liam.

"Wouldn't you like to know." I smirked. Myself, being a Directioner, knew how the boys' hotel were found. Louis rolled his eyes, but smiled as the girls took notice and screamed, running over to us. More security was called to get us out to the car.

"Wait!" I stopped them as a few girls had grabbed onto me, wanting a picture. "Uh, sure." I smiled at them and they took a quick picture with them. The boys followed my lead with a few other fans and we all signed things. I scribbled my name on notebooks, forheads, phone cases, you name it. I felt pretty proud of myself, knowing I had made those girls' day.

"Why's got you all smiley, dimples?" Niall said, poking my cheek where my dimples were.

"We just made those girls' day. It makes happy to see them smile." I told him and he grinned, kissing my cheek. My phone dinged at that moment and I opened it up to see a text from a blocked number.

See you tomorrow.

It got very Pretty Little Liars at that point, but I shrugged it off, thinking it was one of my friends as they know of my obsession. I couldn't help but laugh.

"What is it?" Louis said, raising an eyebrow back at me.

"Someone sent me an anonymous text." I handed him my phone and he showed the rest of the boys. He handed it back and they all had weird looks on their faces.

"What? Was it one of you?" I asked, paying attention to Harry and Zayn who looked like they were gonna lose their shit.

"We can honestly say it wasn't." Harry smiled. They dismissed the subject, talking about other things. I gave up.

During the rest of the ride to the pizza place, I got on Twitter to follow and reply to a few people before we finally got there. Derek rushed us to the door and we got in safely. We went straight to the buffet and then to a table to pig out.
