The first thing that happens when I leave my room in the hotel to meet the lads is that Alex comes to me, determined steps and a deep frown. Next, she just hits me. Hard. Her fist right on my shoulder, I even stumble back a few steps. I would have never imagined she was that strong!
“Ouch! What was that for?!” I demand, my right hand on my shoulder rubbing to lessen the pain.
“For making Niall sad!” she shouts and only then I see Niall a few step behinds, staring at Alex with eyes of a lost puppy. “How could you do that?!” And then she hits me again.
“Ouch! Stop that, will you? I was doing him a favour!” I shout back and I notice the lads are around there, watching us carefully. They all look miserable. Harry is not there, though.
“Oh really? By telling him lies? You know he is insecure and he gets jealous. I would never, ever, do that to Niall. You can bring the one and only Chris Hemsworth claiming his undying love and I still would pick Niall. I love him!” Niall approaches and takes her hand.
“It’s okay, babe. Let’s go,” he pleads but she punches me again.
“No it’s not! He can’t go around scaring the rest because he is a little pussy!” she shouts and I gasp. She is really mad at me right now. I’ve never seen her like this before. Then her eyes are on my, like bloody daggers. “I love him and he is worth every single thing that happens. You can’t go around making him doubt that!”
“Why? Why wouldn’t I? Who can say you won’t change him for someone better,” I defy her.
“I can say that! And you know why? Because there’s no one better than him for me! Because I’m not Eleanor! You can’t expect me to do the same things she did. Get over that!”
I step back, her words hitting harder than her fists. I can’t even breathe for a whole second and she realises she has gone too far. Her expression changes, her eyes soften and her body seems to get smaller. Her hands try to reach me but I step farther away, breathing heavily now.
“I’m sorry, Boo-bear, I—”
“Don’t. Ever. Call. Me. That. Again. Only my mum can do that, no one else,” I growl slowly at her, stepping forward threateningly and Niall steps forward now, ready to protect Alex. “You’re no better than her,” is the last thing I say before I walk past them ignoring Alex calling my name. And to make things worse, I see Kay next to the lift doors, watching me carefully.
I’m not in the mood to deal with her right now, I’ve had enough. I was only trying to help Niall. As Alex claims to love him, Eleanor did the same and yet she still changed me for someone else. Why would she be different?
I use the stairs and I know we have to go to the venue for sound check for the gig tonight, but I don’t care about that now. Alex says get over what happened, as if it were that easy. I’m over the poisonous traitor, but I can’t just forget what she did. I can’t get over what it means. I can’t trust any woman again, they are all the same and I want my friends to be safe.
Somehow, I get to the hall of the hotel and then I turn right and get into a more private room, with a bar and a few tables. I guess it’s a place for people to talk and chill out without being exactly on the bar. But that’s not what surprises me, oh no, because when I walk in, I see Harry.
Since Hannah and him got back together, he is always happy. Annoyingly happy. But now he looks miserable… did Hannah dump him already?
“Harry?” I ask and his head snaps in my direction. “You okay?”
He looks away and doesn’t say anything, so I sit next to him and grab his shoulder, squeezing it gently. I’m ready to comfort him, I won’t even say I told you so.
