On the Run (Zayn Malik fan fiction) [UNDERGOING MAJOR EDITING]

Chapter 5

~Chapter 5~

Zayn's POV

"BOYS!!" Paul yelled from down the hall.

"Oh shit! Who did it?" Louis asked. We all looked at him and raised an eyebrow.

"Fine, I did it. Help me hide please!" he begged us.

"Fine" I replied.

We were in our changing room so I stuffed him in the only hiding spot we have, the closet.

"Thank you!" Louis exclaimed. I responded by closing the door and during back down.

"I wonder what he did.." Liam said. Just as he did, Paul came barging in.

"Where is he," Paul stated with an angry tone.

"Beats me," I replied. Paul just stared at me with annoyance. 

"Malik, you better tell me where he went," Paul said. 

"I really don't know. Maybe check the kitchen" With that Paul left. Louis came running out of the closet and jumped on me.

"Ow!" I yelled. Louis jumped off just as the door burst open.

"Boys, I need to ask you guys something," Simon said.

"UNCLE SI!" We all yelled in unison.

"Yea, yea, yea nice to see you boys, too. I need to ask you guys if you would like to have an assistant to help you guys out?"

"Will she bring us food?" Niall asked. We all burst out laughing.

"Yes, she will also help you with your schedules and she will come with you on tours and everything, make life a little easier," Simon said.

"Will we get to choose her or will you?" I asked him.

"I will," he replied.

"I don't mind it will be better for us, let's see how it goes," Liam answered.

We all nodded in agreement and just like that, we had an ad up on the internet for an assistant. I can't wait to see how this will turn out, I thought.

Heather's POV

The police officers were looking into the arrangements for me to go to London. I was getting very anxious and nervous.

"Here is an ad for an assistant job for a band called One Direction," a police officer said. 

"Would you mind working while you're in London? Just so that we know that you are occupied and safe." John asked me.

"Yeah sure, I guess, but would that help me in keeping a low profile?" I replied. I have heard of them, almost everyone adores them. I'm sure it would be hard to keep out of the public eye. To add to that, I wasn't a fan, I don't even know any of their songs! And do not get me started with their names. 

"If your application is chosen then we will explain the situation and ensure you will not be seen. Simon Cowell is the one choosing so he will be the one to decide if it is too much of a risk." I nodded in agreement. They quickly made an application for me and sent it.

"You will be fine, as soon as we locate Ruth we will contact you and you may come back here and continue on with your normal life," John told me.

"Thank you so much for your help," I told him and gave him a hug.

"Just doing my job Heather" he replied with a kind smile.

After a couple of hours, they told me that they got a response from my application and that they would like to meet me and do a test run with the band to see if it will work out. Simon has been made aware and has agreed to it. They told me that my flight will leave tonight at 10:00 pm. They handed me everything I needed and packed and drove me to the airport. I got out of the car preparing myself for what is possible to come. I went inside the airport to board the plane. This was the beginning of my new, temporary, life in London.

It was an 8-hour plane ride. I was uncomfortable with the seats but I survived. I was now in London, England and it looked absolutely beautiful. It was around 11:00 am here. It was almost lunch and I was starving! John had told me that the man, Simon, arranged a car to pick me up from here and take me to where I'm supposed to meet him and I think the band too. I was starting to become really nervous.

What if they didn't like me? What would I do then?

Zayn's POV

Simon had already chosen a girl to be our assistant. I think her name was Heather Fields. She looked really pretty in the picture that was sent of her. She has beautiful brown eyes, long dark brown hair, and gorgeously tanned skin. Right away she caught my attention. I was anxious to meet her, I just hoped she wasn't an obsessed fan of ours or something like that. Simon told us to get ready and to dress well because we were going to meet her today. I wore a black button-up tight shirt, black jeans, and my black and white runners. Liam was wearing a plaid shirt and jeans. Louis was wearing a very t-shirt and black jeans. Niall was wearing a green shirt with tannish-colored khakis and Harry was wearing a black shirt from Hollister with dark blue jeans.

"Boys, come down here. I'd like to introduce you to your new assistant." Simon yelled for us.

For some reason, I had butterflies in my stomach and was starting to get a little nervous.
