A Hybrid And One Direction (ON HOLD/SLOW UPDATES)

Chapter two

Elise's pov

He reaches for my beanie, but I slap his hand away. "Don't touch my hair." I growl. I learned how to act at a very young age. Around people I pretend to be very protective of my hair so that no one tries to (oh I don't know, take off my beanie, for example?) or feel my hair and then my ears.

He flinches back as the rest of them laugh. I can't help but crack a smile.

(3 hours later)

"Elise, we're at our hotel." Louis snaps me out of my thoughts. I nod and follow them into the giant five-star hotel. Bodyguards surround us as we walk up to the counter to get our room keys. Then we get into the huge elevator and ride to the 99th floor. Liam finds our room and opens the door. The bodyguards' room is across the hall.

The boys set their luggage in their separate rooms (did I mention we're staying in an awesome suite?!), but since I don't have anything, I just plop down on the couch. Liam comes back into the room, followed by the others.

"We're going to a signing, do you want to come?" Niall asks.

"Nah, there's a mall near here that my dad used to take me to whenever we came up here. I'll just hang out there and get some clothes." I answer. They nod.

"What mall is it?" Liam asks.

"Rosetta Mall (completely made up, btw), about five minutes from here."

"Ok, we'll pick you up around six. Here's three hundred dollars (sorry I don't know Euros so just pretend they use dollars for this one time)," he says fishing through his wallet and handing me the money. I hesitantly take it.

"Shouldn't we get each other's numbers so we can text you when we're going to pick you up?" Louis asks.

"I don't have a cellphone." They all gasp. They do things as a group, I observe. Liam digs in his wallet again and hands me another 100 dollar bill.

"Do they have an apple store in that mall?" He asks.

"You mean the store with the apple with a bite taken out of it logo out front?" He nods. "Yeah, as far as I know." I answer.

"Get an iPhone 5C from that store." I nod warily. Should I get a phone? Well, if they want me to.

We drive to the mall where they drop me off and leave. I find the Apple store and ask for the iPhone 5C, as Liam told me to. I pay for it and the sales person hands me the box containing my new phone. He tells me the phone number is 555-0055. That's easy to remember.

I then wander around for a while, getting two or three outfits total from the three stores I go into, Aeropostale, Holister, and Victoria's Secret.

Something catches my eye up ahead. A sign for a store that my dad would always take me to, and where I was always happy.

The Petsmart. I rush into the store, thankful that since this is in a mall they do not allow people to bring dogs in.

I rush to the cats isle and grab a bag of fresh catnip. God I love that stuff. It's addicting. And very good in tea. I also grab some catnip mice. I can't live without my cat toys.

I always check out the kittens they have up for adoption in the back. The worker lady took me into the room where you can take them out of the cage things and play with them.

I play with a few, batting the mouse between an orange kitten named Sweety and a grey one named Tom. After I put them back, much to their disappointment. Then I see a little black girl kitten just a shade darker than my hair color. I take her out and pet her.
