Jenny's pov

my open hotel door revealed the two boys as they stood in front of me, innocent looks on their faces. they held things in their hands, but i was too focused on them as they looked at me with worry in their large eyes.

"good morning." i said quietly, and they looked at each other, not knowing who should speak first.

"we just wanted to check on you." harry spoke up.

"yeah." timothée nodded while he looked at harry, looking back at me.

my eyes quickly examined their faces, not a single mark on them. timothée had a hat over his messy hair, the hoodie of his navy jacket layered on top of it while he kept his right hand in his pocket.

harry looked comfortable, dressed in black, his hair messily done.

"i'm okay." i reassured with a nod, "really." i forced a small smile.

last night felt like it didn't even happen, i went back to the hotel with emily in a cab while they went back inside the club with kayla.

i tried asking kayla what exactly went down, but all she would say was "don't worry, the guy got what he deserved"

that sentence alone shut me up, i knew the second harry asked kayla to take him to the guy that some shit was about to go down. i didn't like conflict, my first instinct was to always flight.

timothée began to speak. "oh um, we asked james about what you liked and—" harry nudged his shoulder, making him stop mid-sentence.

"oh yeah no—we already knew what you liked so we got you some snacks on the way back." timothée said as he stood there awkwardly.

i smiled a bit, looking down at their hands. timothée held a strawberry lollipop, harry holding a bag of pickle chips.

"very weird—gross may i say." harry began to speak as he looked down at the bag of chips while he held it out for me to grab. "who eats these?" he questioned as he looked at timothée.

"you haven't tried them so don't hate." i joked as i took it from him.

timothée handed the lollipop over to me, and i accepted it, wanting to open it already. i would always bring snacks in my bag whenever working in the studio, so i wasn't surprised that james told them about these items.

the strawberry lollipop especially, it was like i always had one in my mouth while writing. maybe it was just a comfort taste, as a little girl i'd remember getting rewarded with strawberry lollipops. now i had always had one with me whenever working in the studio. so every time i think about the songs i've written, a strawberry comes to mind.

"thank you." i said nicely, my small smile remaining as i looked at them. they both held kind looks on their faces as they nodded at me.

i knew this was probably the nicest thing they'd do for me, but who wouldn't be nice after what happened yesterday. the nice treatment was relieving, but i knew that they'd go back to being intimidating in a day or two.

just thinking about yesterday— the way some guy randomly started touching me made my body go stiff, filling up with anger.

"we'll see you at soundcheck then." timothée said, and i nodded before they began to walk away.

harry's room was in front of mine, timothées to the left of harry's. i was surprised we never bumped into each other this morning considering how close our rooms were.
