Four thirty was soon upon us and I ushered the guys out of the HMV staff area and down the back staircase to the loading bay, where Jack was waiting in the car. They talked amongst themselves about what fans had given them, and some of the outrageous offers they had received.
"Zayn, I wouldn't, she looked about 15" Liam said in a knowledgeable manner.
"Yeah man, but she was pretty and she did ask me to call" he said as he held up a small bit of paper with digits on.
"Yes, but she looked 15" Louis said with a giggle.
"Maybe, but I bet she wasn't" Zayn said innocently.
"Well either way she won't be honest about her age so, I'd screw that up" Liam said as he grabbed the bit of paper, screwed it up and threw it behind him "and move on".
"You ruin all my fun" Zayn said as we reached the bottom of the staircase.
Watching five guys interact the way they did was strange. They had been a band for a little over five years, and they all had completely different personalities, yet they all respected each other and looked out for each other, I suppose that's what band life did. Liam was very grounded, and always knew what to do. Louis was a joker, but being the oldest he also had a serious side. Zayn had a reckless side, but at the same time he had a sensible head on his soldiers. Niall still had this innocent quality to him while Harry, being the youngest, and probably through habit relied on those around him most. Being thrust into the spotlight at sixteen must have been fun, but at the same time all that attention must have taken it's toll on the impressionable sixteen year old, now older, he seemed comfortable in his role, but looking at the band dynamics I couldn't help but wonder what he would do if that band came to an end.
I sat in the front seat of their car, staring aimlessly out of the windows at the car's whizzing past, a tap on the shoulder interrupted my daydream.
"Jemma?!?" Harry asked with an annoyed tone to his voice.
"Sorry, sorry, daydreaming" I said as I swivelled in my seat to see what he wanted, I looked at him and waiting for him to continue.
"If we stop at the next garage would you mind jumping out and grabbing us some food?" he said as he shuffled in his seat.
"Yeah sure, what do you want?" I said glancing round the car.
"I said she'd be ok with it" Louis said "Can I get a mars bar, can of Dr Pepper and a bag of pickled onion monster munch" he said with a smile.
"Yeah but it's only polite to check Louis" Harry said "Just a bottle of coke and a bag of cheesy Doritos please".
Ten minutes later I returned to the car with two carrier bags, containing a variety of unhealthy snacks.
"Cheers" Harry said as he took the bags from me through the back window.
Louis proceeded to open the pickled onion crisps to the disgust of the rest of the car.
"Oh Hannah is going to love you tonight. They stink!" Liam said, shuffling way from this band mate, and offending bag of crisps.
"That my friend, is why I'm eating them now" he said with a wink as he tucked into the Monster Munch.
"Oh so that's me homeless tonight. Cheers mate" Harry said as he opened his coke.
"We have a sofa in our room you can crash on" Niall said on behalf of him and Zayn, "but no blanket or pillow" Zayn said with a mouth full of peanuts.
Harry let out a small sigh before silence descended on the car.
