Esther’s POV

I woke up with a MASSIVE headache. “Monicaaaaa” I whined rubbing my temple. Monica entered the room with a glass of water and some pills. “Good you’re awake” she snapped. “I thought you were going to die” she joked.

“Ha ha, very funny” I responded sarcastically. “What happened last night?”

“Well, you and Niall were drinking and eventually got drunk while flirting” she replied, nonchalantly, handing me a glass of water and some pills. “Here drink this” she ordered me.

I took the glass from her and drank the pill she gave me. “Feel better?” she asked. I nodded. “Thanks”

Just then the doorbell rang. “I’ll get it” Monica offered standing up, leaving me alone in my room. I sighed as I receive a text from Ian, my best friend, also my ex… but let’s not talk about that.

He sent me one of his morning jokes that get me every time. I started to laugh by myself, after reading Ian’s text. I didn’t even notice Niall and Monica enter my room, looking at me like they’ve seen a ghost. “What?” I asked, furrowing my eyebrow. Monica doesn’t seem surprised that I laughed by myself.

“She does that a lot” Monica mentioned. Niall nodded, smiling at me. “So, Ian texted you again?”

“His jokes are hilarious!” I exclaimed with a giggle. Niall looked uncomfortable, hearing Ian’s name. W-wait he’s jealous?? :0 LOL. Impossible! I’m just a good for nothing child, that looks horrible with or without make-up.

“So, I guess I’ll leave you two alone” Monica announced leaving me with Niall. “What are you doing here, Niall?” I asked sitting up properly.

“You don’t like me here?” he pouted sitting next to me.

I chuckled. “Of course you do” he answered for me. “Gimme a hug!” he pulled me into his arms and cuddled me. I giggled as we rock back and forth. “Wait, why are we doing this again?” I questioned. “’Cause we’re buddies!” he chirped. I can’t wait for the tour.

~Tour Day~

We were already seated on the plane, and I’ve been bugging Monica for 10 minutes. We used a private jet for the tour to get there fast. Our fans are wicked. Me and Niall were pretty close for the last few weeks, we were always joking around on rehearsals, together with Louis.

Monica and Liam were the only ones scolding us, being like parents and our band mates would just go with it too. “Esther…” someone whispered behind me. I turned around to see Louis. “Louis?” I whispered back. “How’s your seat doing?” he asked. “Just fine” I answered.

“I’ve got an idea” he said.

“What?”

“I’ll text it to you”

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

“I think that’ll do” Louis said and we went back to our seats and sleep before the others wake up. A few hours later, we heard screams and complaining. “Louis” I shake him awake. “I think they’ve found out what we’ve done”

“Shh, pretend that you’re asleep” he ordered. I obeyed him and did so. I can feel someone look over me, I can imagine them glaring at me in rage. “Maybe we should take this chance for revenge” Monica’s voice spoke. “NO!” I screamed at their face making them startle.

I and Louis started laughing at them, hysterically. Our band mates glared at us, as I heard Niall mutter to Monica: “Esther’s mine” Crap. “Please fasten your seatbelts, we are about to land” the announcer saved my life. “Ok! You should really go back to your seats now!” I shove them away and buckled up. We landed and I felt like throwing up, I never got used to airplanes, ugh stupid jetlag. Exiting, the plane, I grab some of my bags, my camera and my guitar, the one Niall bought me the other day… I think I’ll call it, James.

My stomach scrunched and I think I’m gonna puke! Good thing we were walking at the terminal. I poked Valerie at her shoulder. “What is it Esther?” she turned to me. She must’ve notice the pale expression on my face so she quickly drag me to the restrooms. “Hey where are you guys going?!” Liam called from behind. Valerie shoved into a cubicle and opened the toilet for me where I vomited. “You okay Esther?” Valerie was rubbing my back. “Yeah, just uh… I puked” I muttered flushing the toilet. Valerie handed me a towel for me to wipe off some puke on my mouth, gross. I need to brush my teeth when we get to our hotel.

“Thanks” I thanked her and she smiled at me warmly. We exited the restrooms, to see our band mated and the boys waiting for us. “You okay Esther?” Heather asked, worried. “Yeah, it’s just jetlag” I answered. “Oh right” Heather muttered. “You never get used to it do you?”

“Nope” Heather sighed. “Let’s go guys” we continued walking, and were greeted by tons of fans at the gate. Fans were holding up posters with the boys’ pictures on it, and some girls were screaming at my band. “We love you Chance!” a girl screamed. “Be mine Harry!” another fan yelled. “Alright, girls we’ll let you take a few pictures with your fans for 5 minutes and then we’ll leave okay?” Daphne reminded and we all nodded.

Daphne always let us interact with our fans, she says it’s the least we could do for the fans. Some of our fans also adore Daphne, they ask pictures from her and autographs.

I walked towards a woman in her 30’s carrying her baby girl who was holding our album. “Hello there” I smiled at them. “Hewo Esthwe!” the baby giggled at me. “Hey baby” I chuckled and kissed her cheek.  “Hey, can we get a picture of with you? My daughter’s dying to have one” the woman said grinning at me. “Sure!” I chirped taking their side as she snapped a picture.

“Thank you!” she thanked me. “Welcome” I smiled and proceeded to bunch of teenage girls screaming my name. “Hey girls!” I smiled at them, while they started fan girling with their eyes widened. “Omygosh its Esther!” they pointed jumping up and down in excitement. I just smiled at them and quickly took pictures with them; crazy fans sometimes scare me…

Next there was an old man, with a Chance designed notebook in his hands. I walked over to him and greeted him. “Hello sir”

“Well you are indeed a polite, beautiful lady” he complimented me.

“Thank you sir” I thanked him. “But not much beautiful as my wife” he added. Awww! He’s so sweet to his wife! :3 “Well she must be very lucky to have you sir” I replied. “Yes, and I’m lucky to have her” he beamed. “Would you mind signing this?” he inquired holding up the notebook towards me. “She’s a big fan”

“Sure” I took the notebook from him and signed it. Before I could say goodbye, Daphne called me and said that we should go. I took a last glance at the man but he was gone. Aw, I like old people, they’re so nice. That man, kind of reminds me of my dad… Sigh, I guess I miss him.

We reached the limo and jumped in. Our bands faced each other, laughing at each other’s faces. I and Louis did a great job of drawing on their faces. What, they didn’t even bother to take revenge or something? Something’s fishy going on…

I felt someone slip beside me it was Niall. He placed his lips beside my ear and whispered something: “You’re still mine Esther”

“Hell no!” I jumped away from him. “Grandpa Louis! Niall’s being mean to me!” I pouted sitting beside Louis. “Hey! I’m not that old!” he whined. “Yes you are, you’re the oldest one around” Heather snapped, smirking evilly. Louis gave her an evil look, making Valerie giggle.

Our first concert was in New York, one my favorite cities. We pulled up at the hotel and the body guards helped us with our luggage. There, the hotel manager was already waiting for us with our room keys. Man, Daphne’s good in managing. We took our room keys and headed for the elevator, with the boys following us. The elevator was pretty crowded, considering I was squished at the corner beside Niall. Why was he beside me again?

“You okay there?” he assured me. “There” he adjusted our position, so his shoulders were behind mine. I felt the butterflies go crazy inside my stomach. Woah, calm down babies! The elevator stopped at our floor and we exited the crowded elevator. Our rooms were close to each other, so we could contact each other easily if something happens.

“So, wanna walk around New York?” I suggested, while Monica unpacked. “With the other girls?” I added. “Nope” she responded and went to the kitchen. This hotel is nice. “Come one, I wanna take pictures with you guyssss” I whined. Monica had a blank expression on her face, and was busy unpacking. “Go ask the other girls, I’m not in the mood” Someone’s cranky.

“Fine, but don’t ask souvenirs from me” I grab my purse, phone,shades and camera. I walked towards Heather and Valerie’s room and knocked. “Hey girls, want to walk around New York?” I called. No answer. Hm, I walked across the hallway and saw Niall.

“Esther!” he called me.

“Sup Irish” I chirped. “Have you seen Valerie and Heather? I wanted to walk around New York with them”

“Yeah, they went out with their boyfriends” he replied. “Aw, too bad” I pouted. Maybe you can hang-out with Niall! What no. Come on you know you want him. Maybe? Ugh, no. “Esther?” Niall snapped me out of my thoughts. “Would you like it if I walked with you? You know, so you wouldn’t be alone and…” he was blushing.

“Sure! Let’s go Irish!” I grab his hand and left the hotel. Man, the cities cold. Good  thing I’m wearing something unexposed.
