CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN

We all woke up to the sound of the phone ringing. We were still in the limo and had about another hour of driving to go before we reached LA. I feel asleep on Louis’s chest and he fell asleep with his head on top of mine. Although when the phone rang, everyone jumped up, fully awake, to see whose phone it was.

It ended up being Louis’s phone that was ringing. He quickly took his phone out of his back pocket and was about to answer it when the ringing stopped.

“Who was it?” Harry asked tiredly from the front of the limo.

“It was Eleanor,” Louis answered confused. Everyone was quiet for a few moments. I honestly didn’t know what to say.

The phone started ringing again and Louis gave me a guilty look.

“I’ll go tell the driver to stop at the next service plaza. We can eat and use the restroom and you guys can talk,” I tried to say nonchalantly.

“Ok,” he said simply. He still didn’t answer his phone as it rang though.

“Ok,” I said as I gave him one last worried look before getting up and walking towards the front of the limo.

I knocked on the window and opened it to talk to the driver.

“Hello, would you mind stopping at the next service plaza? We should all eat something and use the restroom,” I said to him.

“Yes Ms. Knight. The next service plaza is about two minutes away so we will stop there,” the driver said happily.

“Ok thanks,” I said and walked to the back of the limo again.

“What did he say?” Louis asked as I sat back down next to him.

“He said we would stop in two minutes. I hope service plaza food is good with everyone,” I said warily.

“Of course. Food is food and I’m hungry!” Niall said and everybody laughed.

“Yes and I’ve got to use the restroom,” Danielle said as well.

“Me too,” I agreed.

A couple of minutes later, the limo driver pulled into the service plaza. It was weird for us because we were the only limo there in the almost empty plaza. I’m glad it wasn’t packed with paparazzi or anything because that would have caused a scene.

Once we all entered the plaza, Louis almost immediately disappeared on his phone. I hated to admit it but I was kind of worried. I hoped everything was ok but with the look on Louis’s face when he saw the call, he knew it wasn’t.

Danielle, Jessica, Sam, and I all went to the restroom and came out together. The guys were all in line at Popeyes. I guess that is where we are eating. I looked in the line and noticed there was only six boys in it. No Louis.

“Don’t worry Rose. I’m sure she’s just calling to ask how he is. Normal stuff,” Danielle said soothingly.

I smiled up at her and murmured a quick “thanks” before getting in line with the boys. We were the only ones, besides the employees, in the joint at the moment so there was no line no wait. Niall was currently ordering one of everything off of the menu when Zayn yelled at him to hurry up.

We all laughed and continued moving through the line to order each of our food. Apparently, Simon Cowell was taking care of everything on this trip including the hotel, lounge, limo, skydiving, and everything else. Even this simple lunch at Popeyes.

“Do we order something for Louis?” I asked nervously. He still wasn’t here or anywhere in eyesight.

“Already got it covered Rose. No worries,” Harry said as we all started to pick up our ready food. We pushed some of the tables together so that we could all sit together in one long table. The employees didn’t mind at all.
