Falling Apart - One Direction fanfic

Chapter Two - Sorry, I'm Not Falling For Any Of Your Boyband Crap

Jessica's P.O.V

"I'm Jessica, assisting stylist to Caroline. But you can call me Jess." Since we were late, me and Caroline had to introduce us to the others and yet again, everyone was staring at me. Slightly uncomfortable if I may say so myself. As soon as I said stylist the One Direction boys started whispering to each other in excitement. Guess I'll be spending a lot of time with them. I looked around the room, there were quite a few hot guys but no one could compare with the 5 guys who were standing there looking like angels. 

'Get your shit together, Jess.' 

"And that's it for now, in 1 week we're getting this show on the road! Now go ahead and get to know each other. You'll all be roommates for the next 6 months!" The man, whom Caroline had pointed out as their manager, said. I'd been daydreaming through the whole meeting. This hangover wasn't helping me in any way. I suddenly noticed that everyone started clapping and Caroline was nowhere to be seen. Great, she'd left me all alone in a room where I didn't know anyone. 

"Hey, I'm Steve." A was standing in front of me. My eyes fluttered and I gathered my thoughts. 

"Jess." I managed to smile. 

"I'm the new sound guy." Was he flirting with me? Dick. 

"Nice try stud." I shook my head with a giggle. I chatten with a few people but no one really caught my attention, this was just another room filled with boring people. 

"Hey gorgeous." Someone grabbed my arm. 

"Don't even think about it." I snapped. Poor guy, I'm just not in the mood to talk to anyone to be honest. I sat down on a chair in the corner and cautiously watched everyone as they anxiously chatted to each other. I could already tell that I wasn't going to fit in here. I even considered sneaking out but right as I was about to leave my eyes locked with a pair of green eyes. He was talking to a couple of people or well, they were talking and he was just nodding. But he was looking at me. I think. I quickly looked away. Was Harry Styles checking me out? I bit my lower lip and looked down. 

'Snap out of it. He's just a famous twat who thinks he can get with any girl he wants.' 

"Having fun?" I jumped at the voice, I hadn't noticed the guy sitting down next to me. I was looking down at our feet. 

"Not exactly." I laughed lightly. 

"Me neither. How about sneaking out of here?" Finally, someone who shared my thoughts. I looked up the guy. No. Not one of them. "I'm Liam." He looked straight at me with warm, brown eyes and right as I thought he couldn't get more adorable, he smiled this amazingly adorable smile. I was speechless. I just sat there and stared at him. 

"Jess." I finally managed to say as I reached my hand out. 

"Nah babe, I'm a hugger." He smirked and pulled me in for a hug. As he loosened his grip around me he placed a gentle kiss on my cheek. 

'Don't fall for it. Don't fall for it. He does it to everyone.' 

"I'll lose this job if I sneak out of here." I mumbled and looked into the crowd. I wasn't going to let his boyish charm fool me. No way. 

"I'm looking forward to working with you Jess. I'd love to stay and chat but my bandmates are calling for an emergency meeting." He winked and left me sitting there stunned and lost for words. 

"They're fighting over you." Someone whispered. I flinched and looked around me. No one there. Weird. "You're getting fired." There it was again. "Don't break the rule." Is this a joke?
