Part 66

"Lexi," Oli opens his arms as she and Niall walks back in the room.
"Niall!" His manager Kim scolds. "That was so unprofessional. Get back up there!"
Niall turns to Lexi and she awkwardly looks around the room avoiding his gaze.
She finally looks at him and nudges him. "Well, go." She pushes him to the stage door.
"Will you still..." He pants not able to finish his words.
She flings her bag to the couch, taking off her jacket to get comfortable. "Go. I still have half a free show to watch."
He lets out a smile, opening his arms to give her a hug before stopping himself, turning to the stage and walking back on.
Lexi lets out a sigh, turning around seeing everyone staring at her. "Uhm," She gulps.
"Lexi!" Oli embraces her in a hug and soon everyone does the same.
"You guys." She laughs.
"I miss you." Oli whines in her hair.
"I miss you too, Oli," She laughs.
"Let's go drinking again-"
"I barely drink!"
He laughs pushing everyone away as he releases her. "And who the hell is that guy you're all over in the crowd? You and Niall are endgame-"
Chris slaps the back of Oli's head. "Stop freaking her out, man."
Oli rolls his eyes. "Shouldn't be somewhere taking pics?"
Chris ignores his comments turning to Lexi.
"Hi, Chris." He holds out his hand.
She shakes it briefly before everyone turns to the stage and watches Niall perform.
While everyone's mind on the person on stage, her mind is somewhere else. Actually, her mind is everywhere.
What is she doing here? Is she here because she feels bad, she feels pressured, or because she wants to be?
The room is too crowded for her to think. Everyone is looking at her. She needs to get some fresh air.
She holds her lower abdomen, looking at the clock. "Sorry, someone remind me the date."
"Er," Chris looks at his phone. "November fifth."
She lets out a mutter and everyone glances at her worried. "Can someone show me where the nearest toilet is?" She blushes. "This is the worst thing ever, but I think I'm on my period."
The guys look at each other awkwardly not knowing what to do.
Kim lets out a scoff. "Kids," She rolls her eyes before walking to her. "Out the door, just on the left side. Do you need a tampon or anything?"
"Yes, please."
She puts her jacket on taking two tampons from Kim. "Thank you so much. Be right back." She says before quietly walking out the door.
