I just wanna say I hated writing this chapter! It has bored me for the most part. :(

Enjoy!

Ally's POV

I groaned as the cameras flashed, and stepped in front of the boys. I raised my arms out so the fans and paparazzi couldn't pass, and lead the boys up to the door.

"Ooh! Ally's going all security guard!" Harry whispered.

"Shut up, Haz."

When we finally reached the hotel doors, we slipped into the lift and there was silence.

"God, that was terrible." Niall muttered.

"Welcome to New Zealand. There are some dedicated fans here." Annika said.

The elevator dinged, and everyone got out but me. I yanked on the collar of Liam's shirt, pulling him back in as well.

"What the-" he started, but I clasped a hand over his mouth and hit the 'lobby' button again.

"I forgot something back at the airport. It's a Valentine's day present. Please help me get it?" I begged.

Liam shrugged, and I let go of his mouth. We went out the back door, and I hailed a taxi. We were back at the airport within minutes. Just on time.

I pulled Liam to the arrivals gate, and he raised an eyebrow.

"Wait here!" I told him, and then walked out of the way of the door. MJ stepped through the door, and a smile played at her lips when she saw Liam. Liam still didn't see her, because he was too busy looking confused towards me.

When he finally turned, his eyes lit up, and MJ ran into his arms.

"First the tragic tale of Nialler and Annika, and then this? I am a romantic genius!" I cried in triumph.

I really am.

"Harry and Zayn must feel so lonely!" I laughed, "We need to get them dates."

I was currently on a triple-not double, but TRIPLE-date with Annika, Niall, Liam, and MJ. Louis and I were at the front of the group, because we were in charge of finding a good restaurant.

"I'm hungry!" Niall complained.

"Shush! There should be a bunch of restaurants on the next street over!" I said. We crossed an alleyway to get there faster, but that was obviously a mistake.

Two guys the size of freight trains stepped in front of us, and I stopped abruptly.

"Would you look who it is! Famous boys with that concert next week!" one of them chuckled.

"Ya, excuse us." I snapped.

"You got a problem, girlie?" the other one asked.

"Please excuse us. We need to get through." I stated calmly.

"I don't think that's up to you, timbit." the first guy snarled.

I tried to walk past, but the second guy suddenly shoved Louis. Louis fell to the ground, and Niall helped him up.

I glared at the two men, "Don't. Touch. These. Boys."

I fired a punch, and it hit Thug #2 square in the face. He swore and swung at me, but I ducked and kicked the back of his knees. He tumbled to the ground and swore again.

Suddenly, Thug #1 delivered his own punch, hitting me in the eye. I gasped in pain, but moved fast. I sidestepped, getting behind the man's back and pinning his arms there. I kicked his knees and he fell to the ground.

Everyone was staring at me in shock, but it wasn't over yet. When I got to my feet, Thug #2 was up as well, and he roughly shoved me. I fell to the ground tumbling and rolling until the wall painfully stopped me. I still got to my feet, and gave each of the men a solid punch in the nose and they both fell to the ground.

I nodded once, before my energy drained, and I collapsed.

"ALLY!!"

I heard footsteps, before I was suddenly lifted up off the ground. Louis and Niall both had one of my arms around their shoulders, and they were both supporting my weight as we stumbled out of the alleyway.

Liam, MJ, and Annika hurried us into the first restaurant we could find. The waitress' eyes widened when she saw me, but Liam quickly asked, "Do you have any ice?"

She nodded, and Niall and Louis helped me to a booth. The waitress brought me some ice, and I held it to my eye.

"My face hurts." I mumbled.

"No doubt! You just took on two guys that were both twice your size! What were you thinking?!" Louis cried.

"It's my job." I reminded him, a grin on my face.

"They almost killed you!"

I shrugged, "They were a threat to you. I didn't lose any teeth or break any bones. It's just an occupational hazard."

"That was crazy!" Louis cried, then his face went completely serious, "Are you a ninja?"

"Damn it, Louis! You spoiled the surprise!" I joked.

"I knew it all along."

"How'd you figure it out?"

"Cos I'm the swag masta from Doncasta!"

I laughed, but it didn't help my splitting headache, so I quickly stopped.

I looked over at Niall, who had already ordered, and was now eating a giant cheeseburger. I set my ice pack down and ordered the same thing.

"This is too much food for you, McRay. You be able to handle it." Niall stated, taking his first bite of the burger.

"That sounds like a challenge."

"Twenty bucks says I can eat more." Niall offered.

"You're on, Horan."

Annika groaned, "This will not end well."

***

Liam, MJ, and Annika were staring with jaws dropped. Louis looked somewhat proud, and Niall might puke at any moment.

I grinned triumphantly, and checked the mirror on my phone casually. I had just beaten Niall Horan at an eating competition.

"How long do you think this black eye will last?" I asked the silent table, "And do you think I should get this gash checked out? It's done bleeding, but it's kind of big."

I traced my finger along the gash that went from my temple to my jawbone.

"How...?" Liam muttered.

"I barely ate at home. Whenever I can eat, I can seriously eat. Pay up, Horan."

Niall tossed me twenty pounds, and I grinned, pocketing the cash.

"Well, this has been great, you're welcome for saving your lives, who's paying?" I asked.

Liam took out his wallet, and I tossed him the money Niall gave me in return. I held a napkin to my knuckles, which had split open when I punched those guys, and the six of us walked out.
