*Harry's POV*

"I'm about to collapse on the floor from exhaustion. I just need to take a nap, and I can't. I glance out the car window and adjust my black fedora. Lauren and I had gotten into Mexico City early this morning, and after being hounded by paparazzi at the airport and screamed at by fans waiting outside the hotel, I'm beyond tired. Not to mention the long flights and jet lag. I sit in a car on the way to the arena with Lou and Lauren. I lean my head against the window and soon find myself drifting off into sleep...

"Harry..." Lauren's voice wakes me as she gently shakes me. I turn towards her and she's looking at me sympathetically, along with Lou who puts her sunglasses on.

"Sorry I fell asleep." I wipe my eyes off and grab my sunglasses off my lap and put them on.

"I noticed." Lauren smiles and pokes my cheek. "You should take a nap at the arena... Maybe they have a couch." I can't help but notice Lauren sounds worried.

"I'll be fine Lauren." I tell her and look out the window. I do this all the time.

"Okay..." Lauren says slowly. I fight the urge to look and see what kind of face she is making at Lou.

When we get to the arena and past all the security, I hop out of the car and immediately look around for Cal. Instead I see Zayn sitting at a table under the tent with Josh and I run towards him with my arms spread wide. He sees me coming and his eyes widen, a huge grin spreading across his face. Just as I'm about to jump onto him an arm appears out of nowhere and spins me around away from Zayn and Josh.

"Aghhhh!" I grunt and look to see it's Cal. "Hey!" I laugh and he hugs me, I hug him back

"Good to see you! Staying out of trouble?" Cal pats my back and I can't keep the smile off my face.

"Always." I smirk and he rolls his eyes at me. "I see you brought a football?" I gesture to the American football he has in his hand.

I've always been fascinated with American football. I enjoy the sport.

"I'm thinking we can pass it around? That is if you aren't shooting anything." Cal tosses the football from one hand to the other.

"Yeah let me say hello to everyone first then let's play." I tell him stepping away and he nods at me.

I turn and jog back towards my original destination, Zayn and Josh. I run over and put my arms around Zayn hugging him from above.

"Mate." Zayn says through laughter and pats my arm. "It's been awhile."

"Don't I get a hug?" Josh whines and I release my arms from Zayn and walk over to him.

"Of course." I go to hug him but he stands up and hugs me, patting his back.

"Good to see you back in one piece bro." Josh smiles at me and goes to sit back down.

I roll my eyes. "I'm going to make my rounds saying hello to everyone. See you in a bit." I tell them and turn to walk away

"We'll catch up yeah?" Zayn calls and I give him a thumbs up.

"Harry!" A bunch of crew are sitting around a table and I make my rounds shaking everyone's hands and saying hello, after that I make my way over to wardrobe and say hello to Caroline and her assistants. I finally get into the culinary area where I find Lou and Lauren with Mary, the head of culinary. The staff from the arena are running around making food. When I walk in they all look at me and say hello then continue working.
