9. I hate the drama he created for me.

Finally, I had gotten over my cold and was able to start working again. I joined the boys back on the main bus and picked up my daily jobs. Soon we arrived in Florida. I think Miami. But it was wicked hot and muggy. The second you stepped out of the buses you were drenched in sweat even without moving. This extreme heat caused me to wear this cute floral pink tank top I got with some short-shorts. I was even allowed to wear sandals---so professional.

We had the drag all the luggage up to the rooms of the hotel and the boys did help out. We would be in Florida for three days. Today-prep, tomorrow-concert, next day-sweet freedom aka no work. I was looking forward to go to the beach since it was something I didn't get to do much in England since we didn't live near the shores. 

For today's prep the boys just had to get there clothes ready and such and me and the team had to make final plans as to security and fans events. The boys had one radio interview before the concert.

The first day of Florida went pretty fast. We had the the prep work done and were ready for a smooth concert. Josh and I were on somewhat of speaking terms again. But not at a personal level just professional level like work related stuff. 

Soon day 2 of Florida concert came. Us staff had to get up early and we let the boys sleep as much as possible since it was going to be an extra busy day.  Eventually we had to wake the boys up and of course they were all tired as usual. They got dressed and we headed to the venue.

Of course it was caous. Fans being held back by guards. As each person stepped off the screams got louder and louder. We didn't have time to stop for the fans because of the interview. So the boys all waved and blew kisses and such.

We got to the venue and the boys were whisked away to their interview and us staff went and did our thing getting ready. I went to the dressing room to start setting up and you here the boys interview going on. I smiled and started listening in.

“So, Niall how do you like American food so far?” the irrelevant interviewer asked.

“Quite good. Everything  here is good.” He laughed.

“So the girls are good too?” he probed on.

“Yes!” Niall exclaimed.

“So speaking of girls…do any of you have a special lady?”

Louis and Liam spoke up about their girlfriends and Harry and Niall just talked about hot American girls.

“How about you Zayn?” he questioned.

“I’ve got my eye on someone special.” He said. I couldn’t breathe.

“Who might that be?” he asked further.

“A beautiful girl I have the pleasure of knowing.” Zayn said.

My stomach tightened. My eyes started to water a bit. Why was I so hurt? That Zayn was in love with someone and it wasn’t me? No. Why should I care about Zayn? He doesn’t even like me as a person. But it hurt that he had feelings for someone else. Why? Of course I was crazy. I whipped my eyes as the boys continued with their interview. I headed back to work and tried to forget about the interview.

As soon as the interview was over I ushered the boys off the sound check and continued getting ready stuff ready. Once sound check was over we had to get the boys ready. Lou started her thing and the boys got dressed. I went to go get some water and found Josh Devine.

“Hey,” I smiled sweetly testing.

“Hi.” He said sadly.

“Listen Josh I just wanted to say—“

“It’s fine London. I don’t need anything from you.”

“But I want you to know I’m sorry.” I said as I held up my hand to keep him from talking. “We need to be friends again. I miss you and I want to have you in my life. Just as a friend. Can we do that? Please?”

“I want to be friends again and I’m trying to get over some stuff. You need to sort out your life as well if you want to be friends with me. I know you have issues and I cannot truly have you back as my friend until you sort them out.”

“I don’t know what “issues” you are talking about but at least it’s a start to be friends again.” I said. Josh and I hugged and I headed back to the boys.

The boys were ready to go. We all headed to the stage entrance. You could already here the screaming. As the boys ran on stage one by one from their cues, Zayn was last. Before they called his name, I quickly hugged him and whispered, ”thank you so much.”  in his ear. I pulled away and as his name was called onstage I also added, “have a great show” and he was all wide eyed. It was out of character for me.

Was that what needed sorting out? Me and Zayn becoming friends? Is that Josh meant? He must have. I guess we were on the right track now.
