A good kind of happiness (an o2l/sam pottorff fanfic) book 2

10

I decided not to tell anyone else about my dad. I asked Jc to not say anything, we can just let Sam and Connor think I had a crazy meltdown. We all were EXTREMELY relieved when we found the meet up is inside. I don't even care I'm still wearing a sweater. Finally I got sick of laying in bed so I went to the bathroom to shower. When I was in there I heard my phone ring. A minute later I got a text. Who could that be? I finished my shower and dried my body and hair. I wrapped up in a towel and went to get my clothes off the bed. I put on tights, and black skater skirt, a light pink sweater, and a cream infinity scarf. I finished it off with knee high brown boots. I curled my hair and did my makeup. I finally grabbed my phone and bag off the bathroom counter and walked into the room. "Geez take your time did you?" Ricky said. I saw that everyone was gathered in our room. I giggled and nodded. We all walked down to the lobby where we called two taxis to the meet up place. When we arrived it seemed like the was a million screaming girls there. When we stepped out of the taxi there was immediately security escorting us in the building. Except this time the body guards thought me and Andrea were just random girls that got through the barrier. "Wait wait we're with them!" I yelled. "Nice try girly." The large woman pushing us away said. "Hell no! KIAN!!!" Andrea screamed. Kian looked back and laughed. "Hey hey it's okay they're with us!" He said as he jogged over to us. Both of us took one of his arms and continued walking toward the building. "You know, you two are special fans. Not everyone gets to come in the building with us." He said. "Oh shut up Kian." Andrea said. He laughed at his own joke and continued walking. When we got inside Andrea and I took our seats behind the stage and waited for the boys to tell us to come out. I had completely forgot to check who called and texted me earlier.

From: Unknown Number

Natalie is this your real number? Please.

Missed call from: Unknown Number.

Voicemail: Natalie is this you? God if your mother gave me the wrong number I swear.. Look I know you don't want to talk to me but I just want you to know that I'm sorry. And that I love you.

I deleted the message quickly and shut off my phone. "Natty? What's wrong?" Andrea asked. "Hmm? Oh nothing." I answered. "Natty don't lie. I know you too well. Now tell me what's wrong." She said. "Really An, I'm fi-" then I got cut off by Ricky poking his head through the curtain. "Time to sign stuff and hug people we've never met!" He cheered sarcastically. "This is not over." Andrea informed me as we jumped onto the stage. We went and stood between the guys in fear if getting ripped off the stage by that bitchy security guard again. After 2 hours we got our lunch break. We went behind stage and started eating. "Now are you gonna tell me what you were so upset about before?" Andrea asked. "Yeah and what was the whole thing about last night?" Connor chimed in. "Wait what happened last night?" Ricky asked. Suddenly I was being bombarded with questions. "Guys leave her alone!" Jc half shouted over all the voices. He knows why I'm upset. Well not about the call but he knows about my Dad. "Guys seriously I'm fine. I just had a meltdown last night. That happens remember? Like last summer. Do I need to give examples?" I hissed. Everyone fell silent. "Okay guys it's time to start up again!" A stage manager said. We all stood up, put on a happy face and trotted back to our spots. "Oh. My. God. Natty Rutherford!" A girl who looked like she was about 13 squealed. "Hi! Do you want a picture?" I asked. Usually people are more exited about the boys and Andrea. I'm not a YouTuber or anything special. I'm just uh moral support. "Yes yes yes!!!" She screamed. She tossed her phone to the picture person. I smiled and gave her a hug. "Bye Natty!" She said as she moved over to Trevor. After 3 more hours of meeting fans we headed to the taxis waiting for us. When we got back to the lodge Tess greeted us again. "Hi guys! The pool closes at 8 but when we have special guests it remains open to the particular guests during all hours!" She said in her perky voice. "Well it wouldn't be a good swim without the girl leaving it open for us.." Ricky said. "Oh don't be such a flirt Ricky." Andrea said. "I uh.. I guess I could.." Tess said with a giggle. Everyone started walking upstairs when I heard Tess call my name from across her desk. "Yeah?" I responded. "Well uh I saw the whole fiasco with that guy yesterday. And he came around asking for your room number today but I told him it was private information." She said. "Thank you Tess." I said. Tess is really pretty. Tall bleach blonde with stunning blue eyes. "Really, come swimming with us! It would mean a lot!" I said. "Are you sure? I don't want to intrude." She said. "Seriously we want you there! What's your number? I'll text you." I said. She blushed and gave me her number. "See ya!" I called over my shoulder. When I got up to the room everyone was already changed. "Hurry it up princess!" Trevor yelled while I was changing. "Hold on I have to text Tess." I said. "Oh you mean Ricky's bae?" Kian said. Everyone laughed.

To: Tess(:

Hey we're headed down to the pool cya soon !

From: Tess(:

Yep!

We started toward the elevator when I saw my Dad. Great. Jc turned around and gave me a worried look. I shot him a scared one. "Stephanie I love you!" He said as he wrapped his arms around me and pulled us into the elevator. "You're squishing my boobs." I said. He laughed. I mouthed 'Thank you' and he nodded. "Okay what was that about." Andrea asked. "Inside joke." Jc said.
