Envy (Niall Horan) [BOOK 1]

Eli's POV
I didn't necessarily succeed in what I attempted to do yesterday. Sure I didn't find out about the boys, but I got to talk to one of them. I was surprised to find out that they weren't American. The blonde hair boy or Niall as I now know had a strong Irish accent. And his curly haired friend had a British accent. I'm kind of confused. Why would they be in America?
And why was he shocked when I didn't know who he was? I'm guessing he's just probably a very rich person who is popular where ever he is from for his wealth. Like how Bill Gates or Donald Trump are popular in America. They're probably just here for an extravagant vacation. I soon get interrupted in my thoughts when I hear a knock on the bathroom door.
"Eli, I have to shower can you please get out!"
It's Sofy.
I turn off the water of the shower and quickly get out and dry myself. I slip on my undergarments and put on a white V-neck and jean shorts. When I get out of the bathroom I see Sofy standing right in front of me holding a towel with her dark brown hair in a mess and squinted tired eyes.
"Sorry" I say to her.
"It's okay." She replies.
We walk past each other and she stops in her tracks and turns around to face me.
"Why are you up so early, it's six in the morning and its Saturday. Don't you sleep?" she says while yawning.
I chuckle.
"Sometimes I forget." I reply.
She gives me a slight grin and closes the door to the bathroom.
Since its Saturday I don't have to work but Sofy still does. I guess I couldn't really sleep because all I could think about was the blonde haired boy or Niall and his generosity.
On Saturdays I don't really do anything. I usually either swim a little in the swimming pool, read a book in bed, go to a nearby library, or just stroll around the hotel. Steve, my manager, always tells me that I should get out of the hotel and explore the city, but I'm more of a home body and I don't want to waste my money on something irrelevant to life. I have all the things I need, why do I need to buy things just so I'm entertained?
I walk to the coffee table that's right next to the door. All the books I own are placed on that coffee table. I grab the four books and look at the titles to see which one I'm interested in reading today. "Read that one, the sister did it, he dies, she turns back to normal...." I quietly say to myself with boredom.
Maybe I need a new book.
I put on my shoes and grab my wallet. I head to the bathroom door to ask Sofy if I can borrow one of her purses so I can put my wallet in it. She agrees and I grab it and walk out of the room to the hallway. As I walk passed room 52, I stop for a second and grin.
I continue to walk to the lobby when Ricardo, the check in guy, spots me.
"Where are you going at this time?" he asks.
"Need a new book." I respond.
Ricardo laughs slightly.
"What?"
"The library doesn't open until ten."
I quickly turn around, away from the entrance of the hotel a little embarrased.
"Need breakfast first!" I say as I head to the kitchen down the hall.
Today's going to be long.
12 hours later
I don't think I have ever been this much into a book. I've been reading this book for hours and even though it's from the used books section, it's amazing. I can't put it down and I've even ran into a few doors today due to my constant reading, but I don't care.
I haven't felt this much excitement in a long time, which I think is another reason why I love this book so much. I feel as if I'm in another world far away from here. This book makes me feel like a little girl again, just being able to dream about being a princess or a ballerina or just anything I feel like being today. The book just draws me in.
I am about to finish chapter 18 when I hear Sofy's voice.
"Hungry?"
I put my book down for just a second and I realize that I'm in the kitchen eating a big bag of croutons.
"I guess I am." I reply with a grin.
"You know that now we don't have any croutons for the salads right?" Sofy states.
"Oh my gosh, I am so sorry! I didn't mean t-"
Before I can finish my guilty apology Sofy begins to laugh.
"I was just joking Eli, don't freak."
I let out a sigh of relief .
"I think I'm going to head back to the room and go to sleep."
Sofy nods and we say our goodbyes.
Midnight
I can't go to sleep until I finish this book. Sofy has already finished work and is now sleeping. There are only eight chapters left. I don't know what I'm going to do when I finish this book but all I know is that I have to.
I hear my stomach start to grumble, the last thing I ate were the croutons. I get out of bed quietly not wanting to wake Sofy up and I slowly put on flip flops. I tip toe out the door and slowly close it.
While I'm heading to the kitchen I start to hear voices, I guess I'm not the only one awake.
I follow the noise and I begin to feel a little antsy. The voices are coming from outside the hotel...
As the trail of voices leads me to the entrance of the hotel, I see Ricardo sleeping face first on his desk. How does he not hear the riot coming from outside?
It's pitch black outside but I can still see the sea of girls running to the back of the hotel. What are they chasing?
I quickly run through the halls to the back door of the building and I see someone running towards it. I narrow my eyes, trying to see if it helps me focus better. Confusion pollutes me as I notice that the person that is running Is a boy.
The sounds of the screams are starting to get louder and louder. They're getting closer.
As the boy gets more near, I start to notice his blonde strands of hair under the pale moonlight. Is that who I think it is? No it can't be...
"NIALL!" "I LOVE YOU NIALL!" I hear being screamed.
Okay maybe it is who I think...
I feel my hands beginning to sweat as I rub them together nervously. What do I do? Should I help?
I can practically hear his heavy breathing from where I am standing and I soon feel my feet beginning to move for me. Well here it goes I guess.
I quickly run out of the door and I grab his wrist. I can tell he doesn't know it's me, he's freaking out! When I try to go back to the back entrance, I notice how a crowd of screaming girls are blocking it. Damn. These girls seriously won't stop until they get what they want, which I'm predicting is Niall.
I turn around and I begin to drag him with me, trying to find another possible safe place I can take both of us. Come on Eli. Think. Think.
I feel my eyes widen as well as the sound of angels singing when I remember the supply cleaning closet. Of course!
There is a back door for a huge storage space with cleaning supplies for the maids that is close by. I run with my hand still gripped around Niall's wrist, sprinting to the storage. The girls are starting to catch up to us and I can feel Niall's hand trembling in my grasp.
Due to the dark night sky, I'm having a little trouble of seeing where I'm going and I even almost trip over a few rocks. I need to do this. For some reason, I feel like I have to save this guy.
My eyes suddenly lock on the sight in front of me and a relieved smile plasters on my face. A door with a small light lit up on the top is very close to me. That's it!I use all that's left of my energy and strength and I push myself to get to it. There's a hook right next to the door with the key to open it. I grab the key and start trying to unlock the door. My nerves are starting to get the best of me causing my hand to shake.
I finally open the door and I push Niall in. I quickly lock it from the inside and I automatically drop to the floor as my knees finally give in. I feel exhausted. I close my eyes for a second and I take in the biggest breath I probably have ever taken. My mind tries to process what just happened, but I soon get interrupted in my thoughts when I open my eyes to see a terrified looking Niall.
"Eli?" he mutters.
