Chapter 24 - Lunch.

Rachels POV

We've been on the tour bus for about 20 minutes now. The boys are just finishing up lunch in the kitchen, they said it would be ready in five. Soon after Niall came out of the bedroom Liam followed. He smiled at me but didn't speak a word. I saw something in his eyes. Sympathy. I didn't want him to feel sorry for me. I decided to leave it and stay quiet.

We talked about my carrier for a bit whilst we waited. I was getting a little bored talking about my work so I thought about asking him about the band.

"So Li, what's it like being the most famous boy band?" I leaned back on the sofa, a smirk making it's way onto my lips.

"Well Rachel, surprisingly it's really cool" He chuckled and so did I. "But sometimes it gets a little to much and you just have to step back and watch, do you know what I mean." He explained to me as I nodded understandingly. I did though, I understood how he felt. I went from a normal Uni student to a model and acting on the side. It was a huge change in my lifestyle. It took me so long to get used to it, yet it still hasn't fully sunk in.

Our conversation was interrupted by the boys screaming and running through the kitchen and into the living room. Their hands holding onto a couple of plates each, all of which had a burger and fries on. I laughed as Louis tripped over the sofa leg and almost dropped a plate. He caught it and placed them both on the table, dramatically wiping the non-existent sweat on his forehead. I chuckled and he smiled over at me. They all sat on the sofas, me sitting next to Zayn and Liam as usual since I'm closest to them both. Harry sat next to Louis, leaving Niall in the corner.

I do hate him, and he'll have to do a lot to change that. But still, now most of the boys aren't talking to him because of the things he said last night. The boys said they'll get passed that because they knew he was drunk. Me? Well I know how bad he gets when he's drunk, he's either angry or very sweet. There isn't an in between, we probably just aggravated him slightly. I just forgot about last night, besides it's not like I haven't heard it all before from the haters.

I slowly looked up from my half eaten meal, I wasn't hungry. I looked at Niall who had his head low and his plate empty. I saw that the boys didn't give him extra like he usually had, I understand that though. I was about to take a big risk but I didn't care.

"Niall?" I almost whispered, not entirely certain why I'm actually doing this. His head shot up and looked over at me but not into my eyes. I didn't question it though. "Do you want my lunch?" I saw his eyes widen more and more. "You look like your still hungry.." I whispered again barely even audible. His eyes were so wide now, were there was more white than blue.

"No thank you.." He whispers and looks back down. I frowned. I was trying to be nice.

"Here, eat it or let it get cold. Up to you." I mumbled back at him, placing my plate in front of him. He slowly tilted his head back up to face me.

"Thank you" He smiles ever so slightly at me. I gave him a simple nod and stood up.

"I'm going to see what movies there is on here, ok?" I smiled at the rest of the boys. They all nodded except for Louis.

"Yes!! I'll go fetch Mike and Dan! Woo!" I laughed and walked over to the TV. Undernieth was a cupboard, I opened it. I lightly scrolled my fingers over each one reading the titles. I heard Louis run back onto the bus, footsteps following them who I assumed were Mike and Dan. Louis ran towards me and croached down looking at the films as well.

"Guys they have horrors!" He shouted over at the boys, they all cheered except me who stayed quiet. Before I could say anything Louis grabbed the DVD case of insideous and opened it up. He took the DVD and set the TV up, then put the DVD in. I started to panic, there is nothing that I hate more than horror movies.

"Er..I..I'm going to get..er..popcorn!" I mentally smiled at myself for thinking of that distractions.

"Liam's already gone love." Harry smirked at me, signalling his hand over to were he was sitting. I walked over and sat next to him, crossing my legs."Scared?" I shot him a look."You can cuddle up to me if you really want to" His smirk grew larger.

"In your dreams, styles." I smirk back.

"Just like last night then." Just as I thought his smirk coudln't grow any larger, I was wrong. It kept on growing.

"I was drunk." He scoffed and I rolled my eyes, causing him to laugh.

"Whatever you say" His smirk re-appeared but I ignored it.

The movie was about to begin. Even worse Louis had turned all the lights off so it was pitch black apart from the TV. I was shaking, literally shaking. Suddenly the sofa moved and I felt someone next to me. I let out a small squeal, Louis quickly switched the lights back on and I turned my head to see who sat next to me. Niall. My hand clutched my chest as I steadied my breathing.

"You scared me!" I pushed Nialls shoulder and he laughed. I didn't even realize that a small smile was forming on my lips. Louis turned the lights back off and sat back down.

I sighed and wrapped my arms around my legs.

Great..
