Chapter 18

Steph's POV

I'm walking around Saitama, bought a few souvenirs and gifts for mom, dad and the twins. I felt a bit dizzy again, my body is not getting along with the weather of the country. First I'm in a cold place then move to a place which is hot, it's really not good I feel like I'm gonna be sick again.

Some fans of the boys saw and ask for a photo and I even signed them. They also offered me that they will tour me around. So we went to a street food place where there's alot of foods to try.

After a few hours of spending time with them, I said my goodbyes and thank them for being so nice and accommodating. They also showed me a few shops to check out and I got a few stuff from there.

I was walking back to hotel looking at the stores that I passed by earlier. Then I saw this shop that sells a few mosturizers, so I walked inside just looking around trying to find something that I like. I bent down looking at a bottle and accidentally tripped someone. I quickly stood up.

"Oh my gosh, I am so sorry" Walking near to the person.

"It's fine" he turns around and I stiffened. "Stephanie?"

"E-Eric?" I stuttered.

"Stephanie, I, I, how are you?"

I stood there not saying a word, I took a step back. It's the guy who I told the boys about, the guy who left me hangin' waiting for him outside a restaurant in a cold evening night. A guy who had a girlfriend for two months and was also asking me out to go on a dinner with me.

"Stephanie, look-" he steps forward to get near me, but I would also step back. As soon as I got the chance to run, I bolted out of the shop, but he was running after me. I look back to see him struggling to chase after me since a few people are blocking the way. When I got to the entrance of the hotel, I quickly ran to the elevator and there he was on the entrance door. We met eyes and he tried to stop but the door was already close.

I breathe heavily waiting for the door to open again. When it did, I ran quickly but bumped into the boys and all of my stuff were all over the floor.

"Whoa, you okay Steph?" Louis ask picking up some stuff that I fell. Niall helps me up while I stare at them nervously. Harry came over to me.

"Are you okay?" He ask looking into my eyes. I let go of everything and wrapped my arms around him tightly before bursting into tears.

Harry's POV

"What's wrong, Steph?" Liam ask. I continued rubbing her back as she cries in my chest. We don't even know what happened. Why she was in a hurry. Why was she crying.

She stayed silent, the only noise she makes was the sound of her sniffs. Niall touched her shoulder and she looked up at us. The sadness in her eyes, I knew there's something happened before she got here.

"It's him" she spokes up with her voice breaking.

"Who?" Zayn said.

"E-Eric"

"Who's that?" we all ask in unison. She pulls away and fixed her hair. "The guy I told you about before, the guy who I waited for two hours outside this stupid restaurant. We bumped into each other at a shop just  minutes ago" I pulled her closer and rested my chin on her head.

Then the elevator door opened and revealed a guy who's in a hurry looking right and left of the hallways. 

"Stephanie" he called when he saw her. Stephanie's grip in my arm tightened and I look at the guy.

"What do you want from her?" I spoke up. He looks at me.

"I'm here to talk to Stephanie" He said taking a step forward. Niall held Stephanie so me and the rest of the four boys came forward to face this guy.
