Bumps On The Road

Chapter 3

Being that it was 1:30pm the hotel was filled with fans waiting outside, of course we were spotted and we were driven to a back entrance for the safety of ours and the fans. I texted Paul and the boys let them know that we arrived and asked what they were all up to, as we had a few hours to the show. Harry checked us in joining the floor that the whole crew was on.  We made our way up to our room to drop our luggage off. “What should we do?” Harry asked me as we walked out of the elevator “not sure, maybe something to eat” just as my phone beeped with a text from Niall saying he was out golfing and if we wanted to join “Niall’s golfing” I told Harry desperately hoping he won’t want to join because I cannot stand golf. “No lets go eat somewhere” Harry finally said as we opened the door to our room.

 

I changed into jeans and a t-shirt rather than my sweats that I oh so loved. Harry changed his shirt and we went back down to the lobby for some advice on where to eat  the assistant told us rave things about a little cafe two blocks from here so we figured we try it out. Harry, always trying to meet his fans we left through the front door. He was able to take pictures with a few of the fans that were waiting while I awkwardly waited inside as to not get mobbed, this was a routine we were able to develop as the tour started and learning from our mistakes it was ok after we realized what needed to be done. So I waited inside watching him and when he started walking towards where he needed to go I quickly followed along and caught up to him.  We made our way to the cafe hand in hand me laughing at the craziness of it all.

 

It's 4pm and I’m lounging on a sofa in the dressing with Louis getting his hair done, Ashton sitting opposite me on his phone reading something out to Niall who is lying down on the floor for some reason, with laughter and noise coming from the hallway of maybe Michael and Harry trying not to think about what they're doing I ignore it trying to get comfortel since my back has been killing me.

 

Sally comes in and looks for the boys for soundcheck and meet and greet but finds only 2 in here, Niall and Louis leave the room soon after to get in place. Harry comes in the dressing room soaking wet with water dripping from his hair and his white t shirt completely soaked “what the hell” I say to him “I smashed cake on Zayn's head and he hosed me” he replied as if that was completely normal. Now that I think about it, it is. He gets a new shirt from my bag, for some reason I had a t-shirt in there. He looks at me noticing I’m in pain “what’s wrong” he asks concerned “ “my back's been hurting, I’m fine” I reply “can you give me an Advil and water please” I ask him “of course” he over exaggerated that one. Taking a pill bottle out of my bag and my water handing it to me “I’m going to soundcheck I’m coming to check on you” I nod and he’s off. As Harry, Zayn, Liam and Lou come back in the room, I tell my mom I have to hang up since they walked in and I won't be able to hear her anyway.

I reassured Harry I was fine and he should not worry and go on stage.

After the first show back on tour I felt really emotional, it was always exciting being backstage and the pumped up atmosphere there always was. It was exciting. We headed back to the hotel to chill. After a show the boys always needed to relax because the adrenaline is still pumping and they have so much energy so we headed to hang out in Liam's room, aside from Zayn going to Skype with Perrie.

Thinking maybe I should get my back checked out by a doctor since nothing was helping and it really got me nervous. After an hour of the boys convincing me to get it checked out Harry decided to take me to an emergency room just to make sure nothing was wrong and I was getting nervous. It was 3am and it was mostly quiet. They were able to take us in within half an hour, I filled out a form and we were assured into the examination room. All I can say is thank god Harry was the only one who came with me because, well you’ll see soon. I was asked questions about my health the doctor saying it may just be a pulled muscle. I had an xray taken.

We waited for another half hour for the x-ray to develop and were called back in.

The doctor started out saying it was not a pulled muscle and I was fine but he did say something that shocked me and Harry equally.
