Chapter 14: Too Young To Club

Everyone was getting excited for the club when I realized something. I was old enough to club in London but I wasn't old enough to club here.

"Guys, guys!" I yelled over everyone talking. They all looked at me so I lowered my voice. "I'm not old enough to club here. You have to be 21 here."

"I'm too young too then," Harry added. The other guys all groaned.

"So now what are we gonna do?" Niall asked. We all stood there for a minute.

"You know what? You guys go. Harry and I can stay here and watch a movie or something. We'll be fine. There's no reason for you guys to be stuck here because we're too young to club," I said.

"Are you sure?" Liam asked us.

"We're sure mate. Go," Harry insisted. The guys slowly started to nod and I smiled. I was happy that I was gonna have some alone time with Harry. But then that quickly went downhill.

"You know what? I actually don't feel like clubbing. Go on without me and I'll hang here with Haz and An," Zayn said. The other boys looked apprehensive but nodded and left to get ready for the club. I sighed and ran my hand through my hair.

"I'm gonna go change into pajamas then I'll be back," I said, walking back to my room. When I got there I grabbed my phone and texted Sequoia.

He's doing it again -Ani

Who is doing what again babe? -Sequoia

Zayn. We were gonna go clubbing when Harry and I realized that we were too young. Zayn suddenly decided that he didn't want to go clubbing. He's not gonna let me be alone with Harry. -Ani

You're overreacting babe. It's one time. Maybe he really did change his mind. Give the guy the benefit of the doubt. -Sequoia

You're right. I just want the chance to be alone with H. I haven't talked to him since Christmas Day -Ani

And you'll get a chance. I have to go now but I'll talk to you later. I'm going out. -Sequoia

Out with who? You never go out alone. -Ani

...Jax... He told me he liked me a few days ago and I agreed to give him a chance -Sequoia

Awww! Have fun babe! Text me later with how it goes!! -Ani

I sighed and went back to Zayn's room since I had changed while I was texting Sequoia. Harry was still there and was talking to Zayn.

"We decided to watch Annabelle is that okay with you?" Zayn said. I sighed and nodded, not really feeling like I had a choice since they had already decided. I sat next to Harry and he pulled me close. He must have been able to tell that I was uncomfortable.

"I'll keep you safe, don't worry," he whispered in my ear. I smiled softly and leaned into his chest. I looked over at Zayn as the movie started and he looked a little uncomfortable but I just ignored it. About half way through the movie I was too scared to watch any more.

"Stop the movie please," I said and Zayn paused it.

"Everything okay?" he asked and Harry looked down at me confused.

"Yeah the movie is just scarier than I thought. I think I'm just gonna go back to my room and watch tv. You guys can finish it," I told them standing up.

"You sure you're okay Issa?" Harry asked.

"Yeah I'm fine H," I insisted. I walked back to my room and laid in bed. I had been alone for about an hour when there was a knock at the door. I got up and opened the door. "H? What's up?"

"I just wanted to make sure you were actually okay. You sounded pretty scared when you asked Zayn to stop the movie," he said, walking in. We both say on my bed and I smiled.

"I'm fine H. Thank you for checking on me."

"You're welcome," he replied. "I'm glad you're here now. I missed you."

"I missed you too. So how'd you manage to get away from Zayn?"

"I told him I needed to grab something from my room. I knew he'd want to come with me if I told him I was checking on you." I nodded in agreement. Just then his phone rang. "Hey Zayn...Oh sorry, I'll be back in a minute. Sorry mate," he said.

"You gotta go?"

"Yeah. I'll see you tomorrow Issa. If you have a nightmare you can come down to my room," he said softly. He stood up and kissed my forehead then left my room. I watched him leave then laid back in my bed. He was so sweet to check on me. I wish he felt the same way about me that I felt about him.
