Through The Dark COMPLETED

Chapter 62

The day had been long, and the ride back from the helicopter to the hotel, even though short, seemed like forever.  Julie had fallen asleep on Harry's shoulder.  He kissed her head and then touched her cheek.  "Hey, baby, we're back at the hotel."  He smiled at her when she slowly opened her eyes.  "Hi, sorry you didn't get to sleep long."

"Oh, sorry I fell asleep."  She picked her head up off his shoulder.  "Just such an amazing day, guess the adrenaline finally wore off."

"Oh, it's great.  I'm glad you felt comfortable enough to fall asleep."  He looked at the swarm of fans at the entrance.  He saw them watching the SUV as it slowly made its way to the front of the hotel.  He looked at Niall who nodded at him and then he leaned forward and spoke to the driver.  "Drop us off here with security.  Then take the girls through the parking garage entrance please."  When the driver agreed he kissed Julie quick.  "I will meet you at the room, ok?  Do you have your key?"

Julie smiled at him.  "Yes, I do.  Thank you."  She cupped his cheek and kissed him quick again before they pulled up front.  She and Amanda sat low in the back of the SUV which thankfully had dark tinted windows.  When Harry and Niall got out, she watched as the crowd immediately swarmed them.  She shouldn't have been surprised at what they would do to keep the girls safe and out of the spotlight, but she was amazed.  Harry and Niall knew if they took pics and signed autographs the girls most likely could enter unscathed.

Amanda got out and waited for Julie.  "Well, guess it's true, and they get swarmed everywhere they go."

Julie grabbed her bag and linked her arm with Amanda's.  "Yeah, and they are so amazing for going straight through to keep me out of the spotlight."

"Oh, me too. I don't really care if everyone knows I'm with Niall, but the way I'm feeling right now, this is much better."  Amanda laughed and walked into the hotel with JJ.  "This was a pretty spectacular day."

"Yes, I couldn't have asked for more.  They are amazing boyfriends, and I'm suspecting it has nothing to do with them being mega super stars."  Julie said stepping into the elevator with Amanda.

"Yeah," Amanda laughed.  "But it doesn't hurt either.  I mean we traveled to the park in a fucking helicopter."

Julie laughed.  "True.  It definitely didn't hurt."

Amanda hugged JJ tightly as they got to Niall's room.  "I'm glad things are on the mend.  I'm glad you look so happy.  And I'm glad, once again, I got to experience all of this with my best friend."

Julie closed her eyes and smiled when Amanda hugged her.  But when they pulled back she simply said.  "Stop being so sappy.  Goodnight Panda."

"JJ, why?  I'm going to keep asking you until you answer me."  Amanda laughed and shook her head as she watched JJ shrug her shoulders and then walk down the hallway to Harry's room.

Niall walked in when Amanda was getting out of the shower.  "Hey, they sure kept you busy out there, didn't they?"  She asked him when he plopped down on the couch.

"Yeah, but we wanted to make sure you guys got in without any trouble.  Especially JJ, I don't think Harry wanted to push his luck since she's been dealing so well with everything."

"Yes, she is.  And I'm pretty sure she was thrilled not to have to go through the crowd."  She said sitting on his lap.  "Thank you so much for agreeing to go today.  I loved every second of it."

"So did I, love."  He wrapped his arms around her.  I was glad to see you so happy and enjoying yourself."

"Yeah, I love it when we are all together and things seem right.  I know things aren't great yet with what is happening, but it was nice to get away."
