15 and Famous- One Direction fanfic

Chapter 35

I was laying on my king sized hotel bed when my phone started to play Troye Sivan's The Fault In Our Stars song.
"Hello?" I asked sitting up a little bit in the bed. It was about 12 in the afternoon and I still hadn't slept. I kept worrying about my mom in New Jersey all alone and scared.
"Hey Alice wanna go on the boat today?" Harry's cheery voice said.
"I'm not really up for it." I said sinking into the mattress again.
"Sorry that wasn't really a question. Get ready you have half an hour." Harry said before the line went dead. I rolled my eyes and got out of bed. I walked over to my suitcase and pulled out my bikini, and a cover up. I brushed my hair regretting the fact that I went to bed with it wet. I tried to hide the dark circles under my eyes but nothing seemed to work. I gave up and walked over to the boys room with my bag of stuff. I knocked on the door and it was opened by a grumpy looking Niall.
"She's here!" He yelled walking away from the door not even saying hello to me.
"Can we go now!" Zayn yelled as I walked into the living room.
"Yep found the sunglasses!" Louis said coming into the room and walking towards me.
"For you my darling." He said handing me a pair of big black sunglasses.
"For what?" I asked putting them on top of my head.
"You look really tiered Alice. We figured the sunglasses would hide the dark circles." Zayn said smiling at me.
"Are you saying I look ugly?!" I said trying to sound offended.
"No just that the paparazzi will ask you a lot more questions if they see them." Louis said smiling at me.
"I was kidding guys. Lets go I need to relax. Maybe get some sleep." I said trying to smile at them.

"This is an amazing boat." I said as we walked around the decks.
"Yep curtsey of management!" Harry said laughing.
"Alright I'm gonna go lay my towel and stuff out." I said taking the small flight of steps up to the top of the boat where there were a few chairs. I laid out my towel, grabbed my book, and my iPod and say down. We're My OTP came on and I stated to hum it. I looked down at my book Never Enough and turned to my marked page. I had finished my sophomore year of high school already and it was only April. I talked to Simon about me getting another tutor in New Jersey and he said it was fine and that I could start my junior classes in two months. My mind started to wander as time went by. My thoughts always came back to my mom. I couldn't live with out her. She had been my everything for my whole life. When she told me I sobbed into the phone with her at the thought of loosing her. She hadn't asked for the money. She didn't even know it was going to her account today. She had told me not to do it but I wanted to save my mom. I turned up my music to try and drown out my thoughts for a little bit.

When I looked up from my book the late afternoon sun was hanging over the ocean. I looked over and saw a tall shadow hovering over me. I looked up and saw a pair of blue eyes looking back at me.
"Why are you still up here?" Niall asked.
"Cause I didn't realize how quickly time was passing." I said back.
"Well are you almost done up here?" He asked.
"Yeah you know what I am now. I'm gonna go take a nap." I said standing up and puting everything in a bag. God he had been such an asshole to me this past month.
"Alice do you hate me?" I heard Niall yell as I started towards the steps.
"I could never hate you Niall. We just can't be together. I'm sorry." I said.
"Well I do you think we could try to be friends?" He asked.
"I don't know Niall. I have a lot going on right now. But it wouldn't hurt to try I guess." I said looking at him over my shoulder and shrugging as I kept walking down the steps to the living room couch. I put my bag next to one of the boys and snuggled into the couch. It didn't take long before sleep came over me.
