~ZOE'S POV~

Buzz, buzz. Buzz, buzz.

I jolted up , looking around to see if there was a fly around since all could hear was buzzing around me. But, instead my phone was buzzing on the chest of draws to my right.

Groaning, I fell back on to my bed and grabbed my phone, swiping my thumb across the screen and putting it to my ear.

"Hello." I mumbled.

"Hey! Oh, sorry, did I wake you?" The voice asked. I pulled my phone away to see that the caller i.d showed Harry.

"Styles. Why the hell are you calling me?" I questioned, "and yes, you did wake me."

"Sorry! But haven't you read your emails?"

"I just woke up! Of course not." I rolled my eyes.

"Sorry, stupid question. Well basically, it's just saying that Modest! wants you to join us for tour again. There's a meeting happening in a few hours about it." Harry explained.

"What times the meeting?" I asked. "And why would I join the tour?"

"It starts at 1, and it didn't say that, so make sure you come!"

"That's an hour and a half for me to get ready Harry, not a few hours." I groaned.

"Whatever, love you, bye!"

"Hate you too." I snapped, putting my phone down.

I crawled out of bed and got in the shower, before braiding my hair into two French plaits and pulling on some leggings and one of Nialls hoodies.

God knows why I even had his hoody, I actually had a lot of the boys stuff.

"Good morning Zoe, please, take a seat." Simon smiled, drinking a cup of tea.

I sat down next to Harry, the only seat left, and faced Simon.

I looked so scruffy compared to the boys, but I honestly didn't care.

This all felt too weird. It reminded me of the first time I met Simon. The time he told me I had to fake date Harry.

"Well, as you all know, tour is beginning again in a couple of days, and Zoe, we would like you to go with the boys."

"Why?" I asked.

"There's going to be meet and greets in certain places, lots of fans have tweeted about wanting to meet you, so we thought we would send you with them to make them happy."

I nodded, confused.

I thought the fans hated me?

"You'll all be staying in the tour bus like last year, occasionally there will be hotels but not often. You'll be leaving here at exactly 10am on Wednesday morning, and we are not sure of the precise return date though it will be a good few months. Alright?"

Everyone nodded in agreement before he gave us details on some sheets of paper and dismissed us.

"Anyone wanna give me a lift to work? I have to go explain this to my boss. And then I will give Lyndon a call." I spoke as we walked out the building together.

"I will," Liam smiled.

"Don't worry Li, I want to." Harry offered, grabbing my arm and running to his car.

"Harry! Stop," I giggled, "why are you pulling me? I can walk on my own legs perfectly fine."

"I wanna take you to lunch."

"But I need to drop into work, and pack for the tour, which I still don't understand since your fans hated me and now they suddenly love me." I stated.

"They don't hate you and you have plenty of time to pack." Harry replied opening the passenger door.

"Yeah, yeah." I rolled my eyes as I sat in the car waiting for Harry who was running around to the drivers side, "So, where are we gonna go?" I asked as he started the car.

"Just to a small cafe for lunch."

"Oh, okay." I replied which then went into a comfortable silence.

We arrived at the cafe, which turned out to be Starbucks.

Harry ordered us both a cappuccino each and two slices of chocolate caramel shortbread. We sat down at a round table next to the window and began to tuck in. Well, I did. Harry sat there on his phone, not even looking at me or his coffee.

I had finished, and he still hadn't touched his at all.

"Harry?" I finally spoke up.

Nothing.

"Harry!? Hello!?" I half shouted.

He glanced up.

"Oh! Zoe! I forgot you were with me, sorry love."

I glared at him before pushing myself up from the table.

"Bye, love." I grimaced sarcastically.

"What's wrong babe?!"

Oh don't you 'what's wrong' me Harry Styles.

I ignore him, pulling out my phone and ringing Niall as I sat on the curb outside the shop.

"I hate him, he's such a cow!" I shouted as soon as Niall picked up.

"Woah woah, what's happened?"

"Can you come pick me up please? And take me to work?"

"I thought Harry was doing that?"

"Well not anymore." I snapped.

"Alright, I'll be at yours in 5 hun,"

"I'm at Starbucks."

"Oh right, I'll see you in about 10 then, bye sweetheart,"

I hung up, and immediately felt bad. Niall was always so sweet to me, always looking out for me, always ready to help, and I never re-payed him and I was always so rude.
When I saw his car arrive I opened the drivers door and just threw myself at him, hugging him tightly. He chuckled, but hugged me back.

"Niall I should of said this ages ago, but you really are the closest person I have in my life, my best friend, my life saver, I wouldn't be anywhere without you and I want you to know that no matter what I ever do or say, you mean the world to me, I am so grateful and I appreciate it so so so much, I love you Ni." I rushed.

Obviously it wasn't real love. It was best friend love. But Niall knew what I meant, he always knew.

"You're very welcome Zo, I love you too, best friend." He smiled.

I got off him and made my way round to the passenger side, getting in and buckling my seatbelt.

"So, what happened with the old sh*t head now then?"

I laughed, before explaining my little over reactment.

"I don't even know what's goin' on with that boy. It's like one minute he's head over heels and would do anything for you. But other times he just doesn't care." Niall stated as we drove to the modelling agency.

"I know! It's just so frustrating!" I groaned throwing my hands up.

"What about the tour?" Niall asked glancing at me then the road.

"I'm just gonna have to deal with his bipolar personality and annoyingness." I said looking outside the window.
