"Wake up" // JJ

9) Inconvenience

It was around 9AM when everyone made their way down for breakfast at the hotel. Simon and Harry where extremely hungover and were fighting the urge to fall asleep at the table. Meanwhile, Ethan and Eve sat there chatting whilst Althea didn't say a word. She was now seriously pissed off with Eve after what she had done last night, and refused to even look at her. 

"What's got you in a mood?" Eve asked as she continued to eat her cereal. 

"Are you serious right now? I can't believe you'd be that selfish" Althea snapped at her in a whisper, only not to cause a scene. 

Eve frowned. "What? You're the one who decided not to come back to the room"

"You're such a bitch! I had no choice than not to come back, everyone could hear you from the corridors" She snapped, louder this time. She shook her head before getting out of her seat and leaving the dinner hall, her anger rising when she heard Eve mutter 'grow up".  Althea really wasn't in the mood to have an argument right now. She made her way up to her room before slamming the door behind her in frustration. She picked up the closest pillow and screamed into it, this was the only way she knew how to deal with her anger. This was a new side of Eve, a side that Althea had never seen before. Eve was normally the sweetest person you'd ever meet, she'd light up a room just by walking in it. Althea was more than confused about her recent attitude. 

The room stayed silent for a while before Althea let out a long sigh. The management team had arranged to give everyone time off, but only until everyone travelled to Plymouth for a concert tomorrow. She  took a shower and got herself ready, she decided she would treat herself with some retail therapy. After her fight with Eve, she knew Eve would not come back to the room for a while. There was no need for her to dry her hair as she didn't need to wash her dreads today. Instead she dried herself off before getting dressed. She wore an oversized jumper, a pair of 'mom' jeans and her favourite black boots from doc marten, she also applied some makeup but nothing too heavy. 

Once she was ready she headed out of the room, out of pettiness she took the only key to the hotel room with her, meaning Eve would be locked out until she returned.

Althea had basically spent the whole day shopping by herself, she found it beneficial to be alone for a while, the tour so far had definitely exhausted her. When she got back to the hotel she saw JJ in the reception area, however he was with some people she didn't recognise. There were two boys and four girls, who all had suitcases with them. The girl with the bright blue hair definitely caught Althea's eye, she seemed so bubbly. As she was about to walk passed, her name was called, causing her to turn around. 

"A, i'd like you to meet some people" JJ explained once he had caught Althea's attention. She couldn't help but feel butterflies in her stomach from her new nickname, even though she liked it, she pushed them aside.

"It's so nice to meet you!" Squealed the girl with the blue hair. Before Althea knew it, she was engulfed by a big hug from the girl. 

"Please excuse Gee's excited personality, you'll get used to it" Spoke one of the other girls. She had short brown hair and her makeup was to die for. "I'm Talia" she introduced herself with a smile as she tried to pry Gee from the dread headed girl. 

"And I'm Freya" Spoke the girl next to her. This girl had long blond hair with a kind looking face, she didn't wear as much makeup as Talia. "And this is Katie" She added, gesturing to the younger girl who was stood at her other side.

Katie had long wavy brown hair, she wore no makeup, but her skin was glowing. "Hey" she said softly with a warm smile,  she definitely seemed the shiest out of the group.
