Saved

Chapter 4

I woke up to my alarm going off at 9:15. Five hours until I'm gone. Five hours until a new chapter in my life begins. I decided to start packing. I didn't have much. Most things belonged to the orphanage except for my undergarments and my phone. I was going to have to take something from the orphanage in order for me to actually wear clothes to wherever I was going today. I ended up picking out a pair of white jean shorts and a pink lace top. I showered and did my hair and makeup. I was packed and ready to go by 12:00, so I decided to say my goodbyes. Walking downstairs, I felt the tears threatening to spill. Even thought I'm overjoyed to be leaving, I'm going to miss this place a lot.

When I walked downstairs Mrs. Alicia was already crying. We had a special relationship. She was basically my mom.

"Mrs. Alicia please don't cry! I'll come back and visit as much as possible!"

"I know you will, but things will never be the same without you here!"

"I'm going to miss you so much!" I said while crying.

"We still have a few hours! Why don't we go shopping? I'll by you a nice outfit to wear today!"

"Really? Are you sure?"

"Yes! You deserve it!"

Wow, I'm going to get my own outfit. She took me to Forever 21. I tried on multiple different items, but I ended up going with a navy skater dress and matching silver sandals. It was perfect. I wanted to look my best for Harry and Paul. I mean come on, it's freaking Harry Styles. It's my brother.

We made it back to the orphanage by 4:00. Only fifteen more minutes. So many questions are running through my mind. Which one of the boys will I live with? What will my last name be? Will I go on tour with them? What about school? My thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. Holy shit it's them.

"Come in!" I shouted.

"Hello Zoe, you're looking lovely today!" Paul said.

"Thank you so much!"

"I've got someone who I think you want to meet."

Harry. I was about to meet Harry Styles. I had to restrain myself from fangirling as he walked through the door. Wow, he is even more gorgeous in person.

"Hello love, I'm Harry"

"Um hi, I'm Zoe."

I'm so nervous I don't even know what to do.

"Okay so I will put your bags in the car. You and Harry can stay here and get to know each other."

Paul left and I was now alone with Harry. Let's see how awkward this can get.

"So Zoe, tell me about yourself!" Harry said excitedly.

"Well I'm fourteen. I ran away from home and have lived here since I was seven."

"What? why did you runaway?"

"I don't really like to talk about it."

"Oh, I understand. If you do ever want to talk, I'll always be here for you."

I didn't have time to respond to him because Paul re entered the room and told us it was time to leave. I said one last goodbye to Mrs. Alicia and got into the black escalade. Paul drove while Harry and I sat in the back.

"Ummm so, where are we going?" I asked

"Right now we are headed to a hotel. Then tomorrow we have a flight to London to meet the rest of the boys at 10:00 P.M." Harry answered

Aside from that, the car ride was really quiet. I'm pretty sure my brain was still in shock from meeting Harry. As we pulled up to the hotel, I couldn't help but notice the hundreds of fans and paparazzi here. How was this going to work? Did anyone even know about me yet? What if they think I'm Harry's girlfriend?

"Okay Zoe here's the plan. Paul will lead us in. DO NOT let go of me and don't listen to or answer anything those guys say. Keep your head down and just keep walking. Got it?" Harry questioned.

"Yep, let's go." I replied

I grabbed onto Harry's arm before getting out of the car. As soon as we stepped out I was blinded. There are so many flashing cameras.

"Remember what I said Zoe!" I faintly heard Harry say. I could barely hear him over the screaming girls and the paparazzi asking so many questions.

"Harry who's the girl?"

"Are you cheating on Louis with her?"

"Harry Harry! Over here!"

We finally made it inside and got checked in. Paul had a room, and Harry and I were going to share one. When we got to the room I was relived to find that it had two beds. Sharing a bed with Harry would be weird. I would probably enjoy it, but it would definitely be weird.

"Sorry for all those paps."

"That's okay, I guess I'm going to have to get used to it."

"Haha, unfortunately, yes you will."

It got awkwardly quiet until Harry spoke up again.

"So are you hungry? Do you want room service?"

"Uh yeah! I'm starving!"

While Harry called and ordered, I went into the bathroom to change into my one pair of pajamas. It was only 6:30 but I was exhausted. When I came out Harry had just put the food on the table.

"Wow that was quick," I said

"Yeah, apparently Paul called before I did"

"Oh that's nice."

"Yep, he's a really nice guy."

Wow we are so awkward. Over dinner we just talked about stupid things like our birthdays, favorite color, favorite movie, favorite sport. Of course I knew most of those things about Harry already, but I still listened. At 8:45 I decided to go to bed.

"Goodnight Harry."

"Goodnight Zoe. I'm excited for you to become apart of our family."

I let his words sink in as I drifted off to sleep.
