Jessica's P.O.V.

"Hi babe!" Liam's face lit up, he was the first one to jump up and give me a hug.

"Where's Louis?" I looked around but could only spot four boyband members in the room. They looked at each other and exchanged concerned looks.

"Naomi." Harry mumbled with a sigh. Caroline rolled her eyes and sat down next to Zayn in the sofa.

"Didn't she just arrive?" I frowned.

"She got here 3 hours ago and they've already had a fight." Harry whispered.

"Oh." I looked at Harry. I was actually feeling sorry for Louis and I couldn't get the chat we had yesterday out of my head. Harry and Liam shook their heads in unison.

"I'm late again." A familiar voice muttered.

"Oh give up Lou, they all work for you. You can walk in whenever you want." A voice said, followed by a sarcastic laugh. "Oh, hello boys. It's so nice to see you again. Lou, can we go and get a latte?" She looked at him with puppy eyes.

"Go by yourself Naomi, I have to work. The tour starts soon." Louis mumbled with an apologetic look.

"Can you at least pretend that you care about me?" She snapped and marched in. I could feel all my insecurities bubbling up to the surface and burning into my brain. Naomi is everything that I'm not. Blonde barbie hair, tall, long skinny legs and the shapes of a model. Her high heels made her look even taller than Louis and she walked with such a confidence. She can make any girl doubt herself.

"Who are you?" She studied me with an unimpressed expression. "Louis, is this another fan that has snuck in? Security! Get her out!" Louis looked embarrassed, like he just wanted to hide under a rock. But he didn't say anything, he didn't even try to defend me. Caroline went mental though, you could tell that she isn't a big fan of the girl.

"I'm Jess, the assisting stylist." I smiled sarcastically at her.

"Oh...lovely!" She returned the sarcasm and rolled her eyes with a disgusted looked as she marched out of the room. "Bye Lou!" We were sitting there in silence for a couple of minutes.

"Well....that was nice." I slightly laughed.

"I'm sorry." Louis mumbled and gave me a hug. "I'll talk to her later." He sighed. Poor lad, I don't quite understand how he can put up with her.

"Well, now that everyone's here... let's start the meeting." Caroline smiled and went to bring their manager.

"Oh come on, please come with us to six flags!" Niall pleaded.

"It'll be fun!" Liam smiled expectantly. I just shook my head.

"I hate roller coasters and I'm not too fond of theme parks."

"You're so boring Jess, even Caroline is coming with us!" Zayn exclaimed and pointed at Caroline who nodded with a grin.

"I'm sorry, I just can't." I sighed. "I'll stay here at the hotel until you get back and then I promise to participate in whatever you decide to do next." I smiled, trying to cheer them up but they just turned their backs on me and pouted. "Alright, have fun!" I dragged myself to the room. It was only 1 pm but I was already exhausted and just the thought of roller coasters right now made me sick. All the others were going. Even Naomi, Caroline and some others from the crew. Everyone except for me. But I don't mind, not at all. I have a whole day in front of the tv with my date: ice cream. Yes, it sounds a bit sad but whatever. I just have to accept the fact that I'm going to end up becoming a mad lady with 17 cats. As I was sitting there in the sofa, dreaming away, I heard a knock on the door which was weird since I can't remember ordering any room service.
