I raised a shaky hand up to my open mouth as I let out a gasp. I launched out of my chair heading towards the nearest bathroom. I pushed open the wooden door and bustled to the sink. I turned on the faucet and cupped my hands under the running water. I lifted my water filled hands towards my face while bowing my head, forcefully flinging the water towards my face leaving a mess all over the bathroom. I lifted my face to examine my reflection in the water splattered mirror. One Direction. One Direction were sitting next to me. I splashed some more water on my face. I looked up to focus on my reflection once more.

I rotated my feet in the direction of the door. Slowly, I started inching towards it, my heart beat growing faster with each step. Arriving at the door, I wrapped my fingers around the handle and pulled, revealing the waiting room. A little faster but still slowly, I advanced towards my seat. When I reached the seat, my heart beat so fast I thought it would burst. I turned my attention towards the seat before me, noticing my phone laying on it. Thinking it must've fell out of my pocket, I picked it up and shoved it back in there.

I glanced at Harry and our eyes met. I felt my cheeks go red and my eyes fluttered to to the ground. I tried to sit down but my caught up against a leg of the table in front of me, forcing me forward, hitting the ground with a thump. Laughter roared through the room, immediately turning my cheeks to a bright crimson. A gentle hand appeared in front of me.

"Let me help you." Harry chuckled.

I accepted his offer and clutched his warm hand. He boosted me up and I quickly sat down, refusing to make eye contact. Not a moment later, a plump woman showed up in the hallway across from me.

"Madison Gonzalez?" the plump woman called out.

I abruptly departed from my seat over to her at the sound of my name. She peered over at me and caught sight at the boys. She flipped her hair and winked at them causing them to burst with laughter. I silently giggled but I realized Niall wasn't with them and my smile faded. It can't be him. He can't be the reason why there her-

"Right this way." the woman said interrupting my thoughts.

She directed me to my mothers hospital room and pushed open the door, gazing at me with her hazel eyes. I stumbled in quickly to see my mom repositioning herself on the hospital bed. I took a glimpse at her swollen ankle, soon to be wrapped up in a bright colored cast with crutches. I sat there waiting for the doctor with my injured mother.

BZZ, my phone buzzed in my tight pocket. I retrieved it and looked at the screen before me. I read :1 new message I slid my finger across the bright screen revealing the text.

I'd love to get to know you better, beautiful. Breakfast tomorrow? -Harry xxx

I nearly collapsed from shock. He must've texted himself giving him my number while I was in the bathroom.
