Taking ANOTHER step away

Fitting in

       I know he feels hurt but what about me? What about when he left me? The rest of the boys stand there with confuse faces. “It’s nice to meet you guys. I am very happy to be working with you guys.” I say as I make my way over to the baggage claim. I pull my blue suitcases off and Liam helps me bring them to the group. “Well, I have to head off but I will be meeting with you guys tomorrow. Lads, please get Mickey settled in and be kind.” Simon instructs. They nod and turn back to me.

      The blonde one stares at me and pulls me into a hug. I laugh as he lets go. “It’s nice to finally meet you. Like Liam said, I’m Niall!” I nod as the rest introduce themselves once again except for Zayn. He just continues to stare at me. We make our way to the van and I help pack my stuff into the back. As we get situated in the van, I still see Zayn looking at me. “Finally trying to find something to say?” I ask frustrated, glaring at him. Hurt flashes through his eyes and he clenches his hands by his side. His jaw is locked and he turns to face out the window.

      Louis nudges me and sends me a questiongly look. I shake it off and turn to the rest of the boys. “WELL, I am Mickey Lee Montgomery. I am from Bradford and I’m 18. I write music and I play guitar. I love food, especially gummy bears and my family is super important to me. I have been told I am an amazing cook. I’m as clumsy as ever. I’m single and I have a unique sense of style. I cannot stand bullying, it kills me to see someone cry, and my favorite color is blue.” I summarize.

      Harry looks at me amused while I catch my breathe. He laughs and shakes his head and soon we all join in. “Love, you talk a lot and you know how to break the ice. I like you” He says once everyone is calm again. I nod and send him a broad grin. “I’m hungry…” I groan in unison with Niall. He winks at me and I laugh. “We’re going to Nando’s, right?” Niall asked. I look at Liam with pleading eyes. He nods and I clap my hands in delight. “You fit right in, babe.” Louis concludes.

      I bite my lip and think. “I guess I do.” I reply, mostly to myself. I sneak a glance at Zayn and see him do the same. He sends me a sad smile and I shake my head. I needed to find out why he left me like that. I need to.
