Envy (Niall Horan) [BOOK 1]

1 Hour before
Nialls POV
I feel my stomach grumbling while I'm in my bed. I look around the room and see how I'm the only one awake. I decide to just try to close my eyes and make myself go back to sleep.
Blerrr bliiiii bleeerrrr.
Damn I'm starving.
I tip toe out of my bed and head to the room phone that is on a coffee table near the door.
Beside the phone is a room service menu. I observe the menu until I see the words that say room service only available from 10 am to 10 pm. I turn around and look at the alarm clock in between my bed and Harry's bed.
It's 11:15. Double Damn.
I remembered there being a Mc Donalds a few blocks away from the hotel.
I tip toe to Harry who is sleeping face first in his bed. I shake him slightly.
"Harry Harry Harry." I whisper.
He groans and puts his pillow over the back of his head, still face first.
I grab a pillow from my bed and throw it at him.
"Wake up!"
"What!" I hear my obviously exhausted lad reply.
"Oh you're awake, Great! We're going to McDonald's."
Harry looks at the alarm clock and then back at me with an annoyed look on his face.
"Niall it's almost freaking 11:30."
I grab his keys from the night stand and throw them at him.
"Ya and I'm hungry so come on!"
"Ask Liam." He states.
"But he looks so peaceful when he sleeps I don't want to wake him."
Harry looks across the room to see Liam sleeping on the couch snoring loudly with his mouth wide open.
He chuckles.
"He does look like an angel doesn't he.... Fine let's go."
"Yay!" I reply, which causes him to roll his eyes.
As I walk out the door of our room, Harry taps my shoulder.
"Don't you think we need disguises?"
"Nah it's almost 11:30 and it's really dark outside I think we're fine." I reply.
Harry shrugs.
"You need to get your driver's license soon." he comments.
I chuckle and lock the room door.
After Mc Donalds
"Niall, three cheeseburgers. Really?"
"Just keep your eyes on the road."
Harry rolls his eyes and looks back at the road.
"Turn in here." I say.
As Harry drives into the parking lot of the hotel, I start searching for a parking spot.
"Right there." I state.
As Harry begins to park, I begin to hear noises.
"Do you hear that?" I ask Harry.
"Hear what?"
As I get out of the car, the noise grows louder.
When I look at Harry, I see how his eyes are wide and his mouth is wide open.
Harry quickly gets back inside the car and motions me to go back in.
I see beyond the car a crowd of girls running towards me.
I look at Harry and he nods, knowing what I have to do.
I begin to run.
My heart is racing and I can feel my breathing becoming faster and faster. I look behind me and all I can see was darkness. Since I'm now away from Harry's car there are no headlights to help me see.
I can't even hear myself think. All I can hear is my name.
I start running towards the back of the hotel to see if I can possibly find an open back door.
The sound of the screams is starting to get louder. Damn there getting closer.
Maybe I should just give up. They're going to get me anyway. Maybe I should just give them what they want an-
I'm taken out of my thoughts as I fee my wrist being grabbed.
Shit. I'm getting kidnapped. It's too dark to see who the person is, but I'm hoping that it's one of the boys or Paul.
I'm so terrified that words can't even come out of my mouth. I feel as if I'm frozen. I just decide to let the person take me to where ever they are planning to take me. It's better to be taken by one person then to be mobbed by many.
I start to see a door with a light on top. I then start thinking....maybe this person is trying to save me.
I'm suddenly pushed into a room and I can't believe my eyes.
I see Eli sitting right in front of the door looking exhausted.
"Eli?" I nervosuly ask.
Her eyes open to reveal her recognizable dark brown eyes.
"Uh hi Niall." She says.
"What are you- How did you-why did you---"
She stares at me.
"Well I-"
BANG BANG
"NIALL OPEN UP!!!"
"NIALL!"
"NIALL I LOVE YOU!!"
I feel my body start to shake. I can't control myself.
"They're going to get in I just know it! What are we going to do?!" I scream panicked.
"Ni-" Eli says
"I forgot my phone in Harry's car! We're probably going to be stuck in here until morning!"
"Ni-"
"What are we going to do I-"
"Someday, when I'm awfully low, When the world is cold.."
My eyes suddenly turn to Eli. She's... she's singing...
I feel my body suddenly stop shaking and I become calmer.
With her worried eyes staring at me, she continues.
"I will feel a glow just thinking of you. And the way you look tonight."
When she stops singing, she glances at me and quickly looks down at the floor.
"W-why did you sing to me?" I whisper.
Her gaze meets mine again.
"My mom used to sing that to me whenever I was scared to calm me down."
"Your mom is a smart woman." I respond.
"Yea she w-is "she replies, looking back down.
I get up and sit right next to Eli.
"What do you mean was?"
"Oh. Um well she.....Why were those girls chasing you?" she states nervously.
She obviously doesn't want to talk about her mom, especially to someone she has only talked to once, so I answer her question.
"Fans" I simply say.
She raises one eyebrow in curiosity.
"Fans?"
"Ya you know, people who have a strong interest for a particular thing."
She chuckles.
"I know what fans are, I just want to know why they we're chasing you.... A-are you famous?"
From then on I told her everything about me and the lads and how we were contestants on a show called x factor, how we got put together, and etc.
She wasn't shocked. Instead she understood.
"So those girls were chasing you because you're in a famous singing group?"
I nod my head.
"Yup"
"That's pretty ridiculous."
"Well we have very passionate fans."
A slight smile appears on her face.
"What?" I ask while smiling. She has a contagious smile.
"Even though it's obvious that they scare you, I can tell that you care about them."
"Of course, without our fans we would be nothing." I honestly respond.
She nods in understanding and looks at me.
"So now I know the fame part about you. Tell me about the you part."
We talk the rest of the night.
"Wait why is your favorite animal a cow?" I ask, trying to contain my laughter.
"They remind me of oreos and they're cute!" She defends.
I cock an eyebrow at her before my head tilts back and I begin to laugh uncontrollably, her joining me soon after.
As we continued talking, I found out that her middle name is Charlotte as she found out that mine is James. Her favorite color is yellow, favorite food is pasta, favorite animals are cows and much more.
....................................Hours Later..............................................................................
"Niall wake up! Niall. NIALL!"
I quickly open my eyes to see Paul standing in front of me.
I yawn and notice how I'm laying in the middle of the room with Eli laying on my chest. I look at her and automatically smile.
"What time is it?" I ask Paul.
"It's Seven! What happened last night?"
I look at Eli and then back at Paul.
"I made a new friend."
