Chapter 8 - Flying back to LA

A week passed since Management gave me the news that I would be "dating" Kendall Jenner. I knew absolutely nothing about her other than the fact that she was related to the Kardashians. My friends, being the wonderful people they are, decided to give me a few lessons about who Kendall Jenner was so I wouldn't make a complete fool of myself when I met her in a weeks’ time.

So two weeks later from the crazy news, I was on a plane to LA. No one knew that I was going other than the boys, management obviously and my family. My family could see how pissed I was at them but they also know that we couldn't do anything about it.

I arrived in LA after 10 hours or something and the only good thing that can come from this is being in the sun 24/7 and not having to survive the cold weather in England. I decided not to tell Emma so I could "surprise" her but I don't see how it's going to be something awesome. I mean, paparazzi are going to get me as soon as I step off the plane.

Just as I suspected, there were some paparazzi at the airport waiting for my arrival. Goddammit Management probably leaked it out so they could stalk me. God my life is managed so much by them.

"Harry Harry what are you doing here in LA?!" one of the paparazzi asked.

"I think you know the answer" I replied back. I had my head down and tried to walk past everyone.

"No way!! I'm not you!" the pap replied back.

His camera bumped into my face and I was getting really pissed. Girls that were at the airport screamed as if they were in a bloody horror movie and you know what, my life is like a horror movie. I don't need any sound effects; the girls are there 24/7 to scream for me.

Cameras kept flashing in my face and girls keep screaming, trying to take a selfie with me and I was getting pissed off but I knew that if I exploded now, Management would see and I'd get into a heap of trouble. So I calmed myself down and made a dash for the door and found Jacob's car. I guess Management did something right for once.

I quickly got into the car. Jacob was pretty scared at first but when he looked at me, he smiled.

"Harry!!" Jacob said.

"Jake, save the greeting and please drive off. Now" I stared at him hoping that he would hurry the hell up and get out of here.

Jacob looked around and saw the chaos. He started the car and did a salute "Yes sir!"

We drove off and had a small conversation. He asked me why I was back in LA since he wasn't expecting me to be back until April or something. I told him about the issue with Management and the Kardashians and all Jacob could say was "Damn man! I wish I was you!"

I laughed "I'd swap places with you in a heartbeat" and what I said was true. I'd rather be a nobody and have some privacy than be a somebody that gets chased by hormonal teenage girls all through the day. I mean of course I'd be reluctant to give up my four brothers and the One Direction family but that just shows people how annoying this job can be.

Jacob dropped me off at the W Hotel and I thanked him. I asked him if he knew anything about my schedule because Management hadn't told me anything after what happened. He told me that it would be in the hotel room or something. I zoned out because I saw a girl walked past and hoped to God that she wouldn’t look in my direction. Thankfully she didn't so I thanked Jacob and he drove off.

I checked into the hotel, grabbed the key card and went up to the 20th floor. It was nice to be back at this hotel. It was so grand and beautiful and I was pretty amazed by the building when I first got here. I made my way to my room and unlocked the door. It was the same room that I had last time. 

On the table was a folder that read "Harry Styles". I opened it up and inside it was all the information for mine and Kendall's meet up. This was supposed to go for about 3 months. I tried to convince myself that this wasn't going to be too bad but that failed after a minute or so.

I looked at the first sheet of paper. It contained all the information about Kendall that someone like me should know. Good thing was, I knew quite a bit about her already so that was trash. The next sheet of paper was a list of dates that we were supposed to meet each other and act all "chummy" and everything. Another sheet was a list of all the outfits that I should wear since Lou wasn't here to help me pick out clothes. There were more sheets of useless information and I didn't feel like reading anymore.

I flopped onto the bed. Goddammit this gig sucks.

I tried sleeping but I didn't feel too jetlagged so I got up from the bed after a while because my skinny jeans that I was wearing were killing me. I got changed into some pyjamas that I'd brought with me. I brushed my teeth and got into the bed. My laptop was on the bedside table and I turned it on. I scrolled through twitter on my account and on the One Direction fan account. It was made by Niall for himself but after discovering his secret, the boys and I felt like we should go on the fan account as well to see what people talk about. So it became a shared account.

It's actually quite fun seeing what directioners talk about. I don't even know what half of the stuff means but I love talking to them like a normal person. Well some don't really reply but whatever. I also went on Tumblr for a bit. Tumblr is actually the greatest website in the world. Thank God no one knows that it’s me but I only had like 300 followers but that was still something.

I shut my laptop when I was finished with everything and checked my phone one last time before I turned it off. I received a message from Kristen and Emma. I looked at Kristen's message first.

Kristen: Good luck with Kendall. I tried convincing the heads to change their minds but they want to the PR stunt to continue. But they're not letting you see your friends and everything. I'm truly sorry Harry

I replied back: Man that sucks. Oh well, thanks anyway. Thanks Kristen 

I didn't get a reply back which meant that she was probably sleeping or something. I moved onto Emma's message.

She typed: Harry Edward Styles! Why didn't you tell me that you were coming to LA! I would've picked you up or you could've stayed at my flat so you didn't have to pay for a bloody hotel! We have to meet up!

I thought of what Kristen said about not being able to hang out with anyone but I wanted to surprise her. But how...

I replied back: Sorry Emma. Management didn't want me telling everyone about my trip to LA so it was a family thing only

Emma: Oh okay. Well can we meet up sometime soon?

Me: We will, we will. Just you wait Emma

Me: Em, it's late and you need your sleep so goodnight! :)

Emma: Night Harry. And we better meet because if we don't, the next time I see you I will make sure that Louis and I have a massive prank up our sleeves that will be plotted against you mwahahahaha

I turned off my phone. I guess this meant that I had to think of a way to surprise her and fast. No way was I going to suffer from the "Prankster Two"
