Chapter 4

When we got to the hotel, we were relieved to see only about ten fans had found out where the boys were staying.

"Alright guys," Fletch said," You can stay and sign autographs but you need to be in the rooms in ten minutes to get ready."

I stayed back and watched the boys talk to the fans, but went inside after getting a couple death glares. I was my way to the front desk to get the room keys when someone ran into me and knocked me over, sending the planner book and some other papers flying.

"Watch where you're going!"

"I'm so sorry, let me help you."

I looked over and saw a really cute guy picking up some of the papers I had dropped. He handed them to me and then helped me up.

"Again, I'm really sorry. I was in a hurry because I'm late to meet some friends and I wasn't paying attention and... I'm rambling."

I laughed and said," It's ok."

He held out his hand and smiled," I'm Jacob."

"Abby," I said and shook his hand.

He kept holding on and wouldn't let go, so I said," You can let go now."

"Oh right," he blushed and dropped my hand.

I smiled," Alright, well bye."

I started walking away when he grabbed my hand and stopped me. I turned and gave him a puzzled look.

"Um, I don't usually do this but, could I maybe get your number? Maybe we can go out sometime?"

I bit my lip and thought about it for a second. This guy is a complete stranger, and what about Tom? As I was thinking, I saw Tom and the other guys walk in and stop when they saw Jacob and I talking. I watched Tom for a second, who was I kidding? He was never going to think of me as anything more than a friend. I turned back to Jacob. He was really cute in a geeky kind of way and he had this adorable look on his face right then. It was like he was embarrassed but proud at the same time.

I smiled and said," Sure, why not?"

I gave him my number and we talked for another minute before he left to go meet his friends. I went and got our room keys from the front desk and then walked over tot he guys.

"So, Abby, who's the guy?" Danny asked while wiggling his eyebrows up and down.

I blushed, smiled, and said," No one, just some guy. He ran into me, then asked me out."

"Sounds like a real charmer," Tom said, smiling. The funny thing was, I thought I saw a little flick of jealousy in his eyes.

That night we decided to go to a club called The Red Iguana (Dougie liked the name) and have a little celebration for the start of the new tour. I had decided to invite Jacob along but he couldn't make it until around ten that night. When we got to the place, they immediately took us to the VIP section so the guys wouldn't cause a scene.

"What does everyone want to drink?" Danny asked.

We all told him what we wanted and Harry went with him to help him carry them all.

"I gotta go to the bathroom," Dougie said and then left.

Tom and I sat there for a minute before he asked," So what's the deal with this Jacob guy?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, are you going to see him again after we leave Bradford or is this just some one night fling?"

I laughed," Tom, who says fling anymore besides my grandma?"

"That's not the point, Abby," he said and I could tell he was getting frustrated.

"Why do you care so much? You've never cared when I hung out with a guy before?"

He sighed," Yea, well, it was different before."

"How is it any different now than it was before?," I asked.

"It just is, Abby," He said, raising his voice.

"I don't understand why you're getting so worked up about this," I said, also raising my voice a little.

"You wouldn't, would you?" he yelled and then started to storm away.

"Tom!"

I was totally confused. I had no idea why he was acting this way.

"Hey, where's he going?" Harry asked, setting the drinks on the table.

"I don't know. He just sort of freaked on me. I have no idea what his problem is."

Danny frowned,"I'll go talk to him."

Half an hour later, Danny and Tom still hadn't come back. Dougie and Harry were off dancing with a couple of girls they met earlier and I was sat here on my own, drinking my coke. Jacob's either stuck in traffic or he just isn't coming, and I'm guessing it's the latter. I put my head on the table and sighed.

"Hey, y-you ok?" I heard Dougie ask.

"No, I'm not. This night has turned out really horrible. My date stood me up, Tom's mad at me for some unknown reason and started a fight with me in a freakin' bar, and if I don't get vodka in this coke soon I'm going to scream!"

There it is, I finally snapped and poor Dougie was on the receiving end of my self pity rant. I immediately felt super horrible right after the last word escaped my mouth.

I sighed," Dougs, I'm really sorry. I'm upset and I'm taking it out on you."

He gave me a comforting smile and said," It's ok, here let me go get you some vodka in this coke and then we'll go dance and let off a little steam."

"What about that girl you were dancing with," I asked.

"Oh her, don't worry about that, she looks pretty content with the guy she's with now," he said, pointing toward the dance floor.

"Oh, I'm sorry Dougs."

"To tell you the truth, I didn't even like her. She was a bit ditzy for my taste."

He smiled at me, grabbed my coke and started walking towards the bar. I smiled to myself as I watched him walk away. When we had finished off a couple of drinks, Dougie grabbed my hand and led me to the dance floor. At first, we were just like a couple of friends dancing together, awkward and a big space in between us, but after we got more comfortable with each other and had about four more drinks we started to get closer and closer to each other, the dancing getting more heated as time passed. Two hours later and we were extremely drunk and basically dirty dancing.

"Alright you two, let's go," I suddenly heard someone say.

I felt a hand grip onto my arm and I looked over and saw Harry holding onto me and Danny grabbing Dougie.

"Oh, hey Harry, what's up?" I said slurring my words a little and tripping because Harry was pulling me towards the door and I couldn't keep up.

"C'mon, Abby, let's just you to the car," Harry told me in a soothing kind of voice.

When we got to the car, I saw Tom in the backseat with his forehead pressed against the window, eyes closed, and drool coming out of his mouth.

I giggled,"What happened to him?"

"He decided to get pissed too and passed out when we got him to the car," Danny said, anger evident in his voice," Honestly, what were guys thinking, getting drunk the night before a show?"

Dougie started to laugh,"I don't know, just sort of happened. You know Danny, I love you. You're my best friend, even though you're an idiot."

"Aww, Dougs you're so sweet. Isn't he sweet guys?" I asked.

"Yea, calling someone an idiot is really sweet," Harry said and rolled his eyes.

"Isn't it though! Doug, I love you. You're amazing," I said, grabbing onto Dougie's arm.

The conversation went on like that all the way to the hotel. Danny and Harry had to practically carry Tom to his room leaving Dougie and I to find our rooms on our own, which was very hard to do while drunk. We eventually found my room after looking for it for half an hour.

"Thanks for tonight Dougie, it was what I needed," I said, a little more sober than I was before.

"It's no problem, I had a lot of fun," he said and then he started laughing.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing, it just kind of feels like I'm on a date," he replied.

I blushed and kind of giggled nervously," Well I better go."

I opened the door to my room and said goodnight before walking in and shutting the door. I leaned my back against it and smiled to myself a little. I started to walk towards the bathroom to get ready for bed when I heard a knock on the door. When I opened it, Dougie was standing there.

"Dougs, did you forget so-"

I was cut off by Dougie pressing his lips against mine and kissing me with a passion I had never felt before
