Adrienne's P.O.V

"Give me relief from this hell!
I'll smoke and drink and get tatted
Til the day I die
Give me relief or I'll do myself!"

I scream the last line of the last song of our set and take a bow.
"Thank you downtown London. We're Crooked Smiles and it's been a pleasure to perform for you!" I say then take a final bow. I hurry offstage with the rest of the band to get our pay.

"You guys are great! You keep bringing money into this pub and I'll bump y'all up to the main act!" The manager says dividing the money on his desk.

I smile at the fact that we could be a main act. It's not big, but it's a start.
"£300 each for ya." The manager says smiling.

"Whoa, really?" Our drummer, Duke, asks. "That's twice as much as usual!"

"Like I said, business has been good." The manager chuckles. We thank the manager and pack up our gear into our van.

"So what now?" Roxy, our bassist, asks.

"Wanna have a movie night?" James, our guitarist, suggests.

"I can't..." I say going through my texts.

"You got a date with that Irish bloke?" Duke chuckles.

"The pop star!" Roxy mocks.

"There's nothing wrong with him!" I say.

"Yea, they're both into music, let em go." James says waving me off. "As long you don't leave us for him, you're good."

I turn to James and hug him.
"You are the nicest cousin in the world." I say. I wave back at the guys and walk towards the nearest shop and pick up 2 cartons of smokes.

I hail a cab then call Niall. He answers on the 3rd ring.

"Hey, Adri, I can't talk long, but use da key behin' da plant an' let yerself in. I'm tryna pack fer tour." He says quickly.

"Okay, I'll be there soon to help."

I hang up and place my smokes in my purse. I sit back and watch the scenery. I almost fell asleep, but the cabby driver comes to a halt.

"You're here. £25." He grunts. I look around and see we're a block away from Niall's flat.

"Can't we get closer?" I ask.

"I'm not allowed to get closer, ma'am. £25." He repeats and I sigh then hand him the money.

I get out of the cab and pull out a cigarette.
"Might as well smoke one before I can't again." I mutter.

As soon as I light my cigarette, I see Harry pull up and stick his head out the window.

"Adrienne, shouldn't you be inside?" He questions.

I roll my eyes and puff out smoke.
"I will be, I just need a quick second." I say. By the time Harry parks his car, I finish my cigarette.

We rush up the stairs, racing of course, and he wins by a curl. I dig behind the plant and find the key.

"Nialler! I found your girlfriend!" Harry shouts. I punch Harry in the arm and survey the area.

"Niall, it looks like a tornado hit." I say stepping over some clothes. I got towards the bedroom and see Niall on the floor.

"This is too hard." He groans. I go over to him and straddle his waist.

"What's too hard?" I ask raising a brow.

"Him if you don't get off of him." Harry says standing in the doorway. "Niall, did you forget we have a dinner to go to?"

Niall groans.
"Adri, ya wanna go out t' dinnah?"

I shrug and get off Niall.
"Sure, why not?" I say.

"Hopefulleh all da lads bring der girls so dat ya won't Hagar be alone." He smirks getting up. Niall takes a step towards me and kisses me. Harry makes retching noises.

"Do you want a kiss too, Harry?" I joke.

"Keep your lips away from me." He says putting his hands up. Harry and I end up running around Niall's flat until it was time to go and we were separated in the restaurant.
