"Okay so that will be one martini, two beers and four lemonades?" The waiter asks and we all nod then he leaves.

Louis goes back to talking with Meghan. I could see the excitement in his eyes and I can't even see his face well.

I could feel all the boys eyes on me. It was starting to make me uncomfortable.

I shift in my seat a little and glance up at them before i look down at my lap.

I hear Liam stretch and put his arm behind me and rubbing my shoulder.

I look up at him. "Just because I'm upset with the choices you made doesn't mean I'm not gonna comfort you lady bug." He smiles.

I fake a smile back and nod slightly before turning my head back. I look at the menu.

Hmm... none of these options sound good. And I already don't feel well being here.

I get nudged a little and I look up from the menu quickly. "Alyssa.. What do you want?" Louis says and nudges his head to the side at the waiter.

"Oh.. I'm sorry. I'll take a small ceasar salad. Is it possible to get a small on a salad?" I say nervously.

The waiter smiles at me then bends down. "That is one interesting question. I will have to ask but if so I will have done. How does that sound?" He says and looks at me.

I blush a little at the attention. "Thank you." I smile back and he nods before he walks off.

"Alyssa, are you alright? You sound nervous and you look like your sweating." Zayn says bringing the attention back to me.

I shake my head yes and take a sip of my lemonade. "Yeah yeah I'm fine. It's just a little hot in here. I need some air." I say and getting up walking away from the table.

I walk outside and fan myself breathing heavy. I take deep breaths.

"What's wrong?" I hear Harry's voice ask.

I shake my head. "Nothing.. Just feeling a little sweaty is all." I say and calm myself down. I fix the wrinkles on my dress.

I feel arms wrap around my shoulders as I'm being pulled into a hug. I wrap my arms around Harry's waist hugging him back.

He rubs my back. We walk back in a few minutes later sitting back down in our spots.

The boys look at me and I nod taking a sip of my lemonade.

The boys start talking to one another until the food comes. The waiter puts my food down last and smiles. "Turns out there is a thing called a small salad." he chuckles lightly making me smile then he walks away.

I start eating my salad. I push a little bit of it around my plate as I chew the food.

Liam nudges my side and gives me a look then looks at my food. I stop playing with it and just eat.

Everyone finishes their meal. Zayn and Louis get dessert so the rest of us wait for them to finish.

Louis feeds some of his dessert to Meghan. This is starting to make me sick now.

Once they finish their dessert, we head home. When we get there I go straight to my room. I change out of my dress and fix my boot.

A knock comes from the other side of my bathroom door. "Need any help in there princess?" Niall asks.

I smile slightly at the word princess, funny how he is relating me to one.

I open the door in shorts and a shirt. "No but you can tell me when I can this boot off my leg." I smile at him.
