Falling Apart - One Direction fanfic

Chapter Five - Let's Get Hammered!

Jessica's P.O.V

"Calm down Jess, breathe!" I was on the verge of hyperventilating. Caroline put her arm around my shoulders as I stood bent over the sink, staring at myself in the mirror. "Let's go back into the lobby, they're probably wondering where we are. And besides, Zayn will be hurt otherwise..." She winked at me, tried to make me smile but it only made me even more nervous.

"Caroline, I can't." I shook my head with wide eyes.

"Of course you can. The suite is huge, you'll hardly even see each other!" She snickered. My heart was beating really fast, 4 nights with him...4 nights...4 NIGHTS!? I felt the panic building up in me again and so did Caroline. She turned me around so I was facing her and placed her hands on my shoulders in a firm grip.

"Listen, missy! You are Jessica Sanson, you are strong and you are going to stay with Zayn Malik from One Direction, the biggest boyband in the world, in a hotel room for four nights. Got it or should I repeat what I just said!?" Her voice convinced me, I didn't actually understand everything she said since she was talking so fast but she managed to convince me. Or actually she scared me so I had no choice other than to nod and agree but that's not the point. "Now, take a deep breath and calm yourself."

"I love you." I sighed thankfully at her, which only caused her to laugh at me.

"You know I love you too Jess. You're such a weirdo." She chuckled and gave me a light hug. "Come on now, let's go get 'em!" I nodded with wide eyes and tried to gather myself.

'It's only 4 nights, 4 nights. That's nothing. 4 nights.'

"Hey, there you are!" Liam smiled at me as me and Caroline made our way through the lobby and back to the lads.

"Let's go check out the rooms!" Louis exclaimed as him and Harry started jumping up and down. I noticed that the only ones left in the lobby were us and their management. The others must have already gone to their rooms.

"You ready?" Zayn held up the key towards me with a smirk. His eyes glistened behind his long, black eyelashes. I nodded and took the room key. Apparently our luggage was already in the room so we immediately stepped into the elevator and trust me when I say that being squeezed up in an elevator with 5 teenage lads and a cheeky stylist isn't exactly as glamorous as it may sound. First of all, I could barely breathe since they all insisted on going up in the same elevator. And to make things even worse, Niall farted. So yeah, there I was in an elevator with One Direction and Caroline Watson. And even though I wanted nothing more than to get out of there as soon as possible, I realised that a lot of people would've killed to be in my position. I also realised that I was about to spend the night with someone I barely knew and this someone was actually my boss. Well, 1/5 of my boss to be precise. 

"Last time I'm stepping into an elevator with you!" Harry punched Niall on the arm as soon he'd practically ran out of the elevator. Niall responded to it and locked his arm around Harry's head, ruffling his hair. Soon they were on the ground wrestling with the other boys cheering.

"What's going on here!? Harry, give Niall his trousers back! And Niall, let go of Harry's nostrils." Paul pulled the boys apart and stood between them. This didn't stop them, of course. They kept on reaching for each other and biting on Paul's arms which made even Paul, the big mean looking bodyguard, burst into laughter. I got so carried away watching them that I barely noticed when someone grabbed my arm and pulled me along with them.

"Shhh, come on." Zayn whispered. He took my hand in his, causing my heart to skip a few beats. "704, 704, 704...here it is!" He nodded towards the door and waited. I flinched and realised that I was the one holding the key. I slightly blushed as he let go of my hand and I fumbled with the door key. He opened the door, what a gentleman, and made a gesture for me to step in.
