Chapter 2

• LADS
• HARRY'S POV
• "She belongs to me!"
• Automatically, there would be deafening screams of women in big arenas that we have played numerous times after we finish a song. There'd be a big crowd and blinding lights from cameras and smart phones recording every bit of our moves. There'd be a lot of women crying because of happiness, women screaming like there's no tomorrow and women a little seem to flirty on the audience which is really getting pretty normal to me now, I guess.
• But the audience we just sang to were children and God just these kids hate me because of what I wear, my long hair and my skinny jeans. Some kids said I dressed weird. They just bloody hate me because of my hair and mostly thinks I am a girl because of it. Liam tries his best to talk to much kids and play with them, Louis as usual makes these kids laugh, as for Niall. Well, Niall's being Niall and for Zayn even if he is not doing anything funny or cute, he's just immensely loved by the kids because he has always been the good-looking one without even really trying. I mean do you see that perfect jawline and beautiful face.
• If you don't know us, we're One Direction.
• "Are you damn serious Harold?" Louis teases me again as we were escorted to our car. "Those kids in there weren't really that fanatic of you."
• Liam and Niall joins in with a laughing Louis. "Well technically I am not a clown like you are Louis Tomlinson." I answer as I get inside the van feeling a little bit more disappointed.
• Liam laughs a little bit louder, "At least you tried Harry."
• "Shut up Liam. Just, shut it." I say instantly as I push my hair off my face.
• "Shut up Liam." Louis mimics me and continues to laugh with Niall on the backseat.
• Hearing Niall's laugh just makes my headache worst. "That's a really good impersonation Louis."
• "It's okay Harold. You don't look like a female and you don't dress weird." Zayn pats my shoulder while smiling at me. I don't know if he was being sarcastic or not but he spoke with soft eyes. How comforting Zayn.
• "That's really easy for you to say, Mr. Lovable." I answer him before facing Louis, Niall and Liam who were still laughing at me and poking jokes. "You know what, we didn't have any competition about who's going to have more kids to play with anyways."
• "I wish we did. You'd flop, Harold." Louis teases again.
• I sit straight on my seat and tried to pull in some headphones as we begin to leave the orphanage. I have had a long day because we had an interview earlier for a magazine and I am still having this headache since this morning. The lads were obviously talking about where to have dinner and I am already sure we are heading to Nando's. Without a doubt about it.
• As soon as we reached Nando's, paps were quick to arrive in the area and take photos of us as we rushed inside. I was tired and didn't really want to be pissed by the paparazzi so I kept my head down low while our security guards lead us in. We had dinner together and just tried to enjoy the night while some fans went to our table for a photo. Usually, we'd have dinner in the hotel and order foods as much as we want but since the other lads want to eat outside, then majority wins.
• "Oh god I'm so full." Louis exclaimed inside the car, burping towards Liam's.
• Liam pushes Louis' shoulder with a disapproving look on his face. Sometimes Louis' just a little bit childish and playful which pisses some of us. "You had to burp at my face Louis! Disgusting."
• Louis' laugh echoes at the backseat after pulling a nasty prank at Liam after how he teases me a lot after singing for those kids. Good thing he didn't aim at Zayn, he looks really tired right now and goofing around with a moody Zayn isn't such a great idea.
• "I missed Nando's." Niall was quick to comment. "I can't even laugh right now cos I'm seriously too full." He exclaimed, rubbing his hand over his bulging stomach.
• I chuckle.
• "It was obvious. You ate a lot than the usual." I said while grinning.
• We were on our way back to the hotel after we had dinner and man I do feel really tired. I was expecting a quieter dinner back in the hotel like how we usually do on tours after a long day's work. I glance at the other lads who were now getting a little less rowdy, obviously they were tired as me except for Louis, I don't know how the hell he gets his energy from.
• On tours, it's hard to eat in restaurants because fans will just crowd us so we always eat in the hotel for delivery. Living in hotels wasn't a new thing to me anymore since we're all busy with the touring but sometimes I just homecooked foods that my mum used to make for me. On tours, we don't usually eat healthy all the time as per Niall, Louis and Zayn are the ones who always stores all the junkfoods and we just can't help ourselves with it. Liam and I tries to eat healthy but eventually gives in to junk.
• On busier days, there's usually pressure on us and how we have to perform on our best because we are indeed the world's famous boyband. That's kind of hard to live up for years now. Tonight the songs we sang and the concert for a cause went smooth sailing, even though the kids didn't like me as much as I wanted to play with them.
• Currently, we've been here in the US for a few days because we had to do interviews for some magazines, radio stations and TV shows. Tons and tons of interviews from left and right and it's really tiring sometimes to just answer questions one after the other, Sometimes it's just draining to be actually asked too personal questions. Yesterday, we manage to finish this little concert for a cause for the Little Angels Shelter, a place where cancer patients who were mostly kids lives while being treated with cancer. We raised $25,000 from the concert for a cause and each of us also added some. Earlier in the afternoon, we went to Shelter The Kids which was an orphanage ran by nuns and the five of us really had a great time there getting to know how their lives has been in the shelter and hearing their stories just made me really sad for them to be left by their parents. Most especially with that girl Dinah, she's such an inspiration to everyone in that shelter.
• It has been a busy week for us, even with the entire crew, from the dozens of interviews and the radio station visits from here to there, a few photo shoots for some American magazines, and they even squeezed in a few fan signing events as well. We were drained but America is much different compared to London and there's something about this place that keeps me coming back. We haven't gotten a bit of rest since we came here as much as we want to relax and chill, but it's our job to entertain our fans. I know they've been wanting us to visit the U.S again and we have been always in other parts of the world. Though we were crazily busy and massively tired, seeing our fans' happy faces as they scream our names just makes everything worth it all.
• But I was excited to end this day because we are going back to England later, problem was we had to leave at dawn. At least I get to be home for a while, I get to see my family really quick and some friends and get to sleep on my bed. I miss my bed no matter how small it is back in Cheshire. I miss it. One fact about me that a few close friends only knows is that, I really hate having flights after midnight. Waking up late in the night and falling back asleep is a problem for me. I couldn't go back to sleep inside the plane anymore and it's difficult for me to be able to get back to sleep since Liam snores when he sleeps. That's why I eventually watch porn inside the plane which is horrible because the other guys would catch me a couple of times, but then they would join in and watch with me.
• Inside the car, I was seated next to Liam who was busy on his phone obviously talking to Sophia probably sweet talking to her. I'm happy that they're sill together though Liam's been having casual sex with a few other women that he's been hiding from her. Liam's good at hiding and lying. I don't know how the hell he does that but he's really good at it. The rest of us has done it too, meaningless one night stands. I hooked up with a fan before, I invited her over my hotel room and did the dirty but that was a long time ago. Zayn's usually the one bringing women over his hotel room and so does Niall. As for Louis, he's always out drinking bars with the John and Damian.
• Well you can't blame us though. No, I think you should blame us.
• We're just guys who are always far away from our loved ones. We're busy with work, always tired from all the flying having lovely women throw themselves at us and it's every man's weakness. Aside from stress eating, as grown up lads, we need sex to relieve ourselves from all forms of stress. That is why we meet some women, have one night stands with them and act as if nothing happened the next day. Trust me, we aren't as innocent as we used to look when we were younger. We do it, not only me but the five of us have done it. Don't hate us.
• "Hey lads." Niall calls out and he sounded as if he had just a brilliant idea.
• All of us glanced at him as he adds, "Let's all go skating. Paul said he knows a good place to skate." Zayn's face was quick to show disagreement with Niall's suggestion and I don't think Liam liked his idea too but Louis' just busy texting on his phone.
• I do want to skate. "I'd skate with you Niall."
• He smiles, "That's really sweet of you Harry."
• I smiled back.
• "Well.." Zayn interrupts. "Hate to break it to you Hazza but Louis is a professional figure skater. Aren't you Lou?" He smirks at Louis.
• "I am?" Louis asked curiously with his brows creasing together as he stopped himself from typing on his phone. "I don't skate Zayn. If you're forgetting, I am bad with shoes that has wheels."
• All of us know Louis don't skate and would never try to skate. He can't even balance himself well on roller blades, what more if it's on ice.
• I laugh softly.
• "You are." Zayn insisted. "I mean have you seen Louis wearing the attire for a figure skater? I bet you haven't. Tights and all. Shove up in the bum." He jokes with a grin then laughs while glancing at Louis. Niall joins in with Zayn as they continued to poke fun at Louis.
• Thank God he's okay now. Nobody wants a moody Zayn around.
• "Very very funny Zayn. Ha-ha." Louis sarcastically answered as he continued texting again.
• All of us began to laugh when Zayn continues to make fun of Louis and the figure skater attire. But Louis kept on firing at Zayn with some great comebacks which made us laugh even louder too. Sometimes, when the bad is really tired from all the hard work, it's really good to have a good laugh with these guys and joke around as often as we want.
• "When do we skate?" I asked, curious. I am a huge fan of of ice skating though.
• "Up for it Harold?" Louis asked back.
• "I'm up for it, yeah." I responded quick.
• Niall looks at me with wide happy eyes. "Cool! How about tomorrow we all go ice skating. I know a place in London." Niall chimes cheerfully. "We're all dead tired today and I really wanna go skating. It's something we haven't done together just yet." Niall said smiling and eager.
• He's always been the vacation setter of the band. He loves to do things together and have fun too, not as bandmates but also brothers. I think Niall can't live without the four of us. He's always the one planning things to do together. He's the ultimate fanboy. But we love him dearly. I may be the youngest but we think of Niall as the youngest and we will do everything to protect him. It's not that he can't protect himself but it's just that we are his brothers.
• "Okay bye, I'll call you later. Yes Sophia, I am with the boys." Liam rolls his eyes at no one which makes me laugh softly. "Yes, dear. I love you very much too." He hangs up.
• Liam groans, "Seriously why doesn't she trust me at all? Jesus."
• "Because she knows you invite women over for sex." Zayn pointed it out.
• Liam stares at Zayn with pursed lips, "I think you're forgetting you invite women over too, engaged man." He snapped back.
• "Touche." Zayn points his finger at Liam.
