The Story of Us

Chapter 21

A/N- I haven't updated since the third. I am sorry, but it's not that long, it's just unlike me. But I have actually went back and revised chapters 1-5. Chapter 5 I revised like 3 times because I lost my corrections. But don't worry my fixes weren't that major. Just a little shifts. Everything is still the same pretty much. But I will update this chapter and try to revise 6-20 which will take some time because of school, but I like challenges. Well anyways...

Tia's POV

I hang up on Jack because I hear the door open startling me.

I slide my phone under my leg when I feel the vibration and see the drunken body that I call Zayn.

"Why are you out here?" he slurs swaying back and forth in the hall.

I stand to my feet, grabbing Zayn and directing him back into the room.

"Tia!" Austin yells "You've been gone forever!" he says embracing me. The smell of his alcohol stained shirt makes me gag causing me to push him away.

"I'm going to take a walk." I tell Zayn patting his shoulder.

"I'll come" Zayn says tripping on his own feet

I honestly don't know why people love getting drunk to where they don't have full control of their own bodies. It disgust me. Which is why I have to walk away. Yes, Austin has a point when he says I walk away from my problems, but I have no choice at this point in time. Everyone is in another world.

"No, stay here. I'll be back." I say walking out before Zayn could stand back on his own two feet.

I decided against the lobby, since it's the most obvious place. Instead I go to the door holder.

His name is Kian. He works for the hotel. His job isn't that exciting, opening doors all day doesn't seem like something I'd invest in. But it brings money in, so more power to him.

Kian and I weren't close but we had some occurrences while he was opening the door.

"Hello Kian." I say standing next to him as he opens the door for this family with about five children.

"Ms. Tegan, hello mam." he says shaking my hand.

"You can call me Tia." I laugh

"Sorry, policy." He smiles this goofy smile.

I laugh

"When do you get off?" I ask

He looks at his watch and then back at me.

"In three minutes. Why?" He says opening the door again

"I wanted to know if we could talk?" I ask

"Oh, well I have a girlfriend." He says nervously

"Oh no, I have a boyfriend. Well it's complicated actually, but no I just wanted to talk." I laugh

"Oh, well we can go up to my room when I get off." He says "Which is now in a minute."

I smile and inform him I'll be waiting by the counter.

This may seem weird to him that I all of sudden want to talk to him, but company is company, and I don't believe Nancy the manager would want to talk to me about my problems. I tried once before and she fell asleep.

"I have to go clock out." Kian says dragging me from my thoughts, I nod and wait.

"Okay, I'm ready." he smiles walking over to me

We get on the elevator and we get to this floor that looked way different than the other floors.

"This is the employee floor." Kian says sliding his key in the door.
