"Is she coming here?" she choked out while he run his fingers through his hair frustrated and nervous once again. Her sister could not see her with him after everything and now Harry had invited her in the same room? Alison was not going to stay calm.

"She's staying at this same hotel and she wants to meet me now. Look I'm sorry-"

"What the fuck we're going to do now?" she asked with high pitched voice and stood up staring at him.

"Erm... Just go in the bathroom I sort this out," he said.

Alison picked her stuff from the ground and made it in the bathroom just in time when someone knocked the door. She made sure she locked the bathroom door carefully before putting her clothes on. Then she leaned against the door and slumped on the floor.

"Hiiii H!" she heard Gemma's loud and cheery voice greeting and she could imagine them hugging each other. She had always been a little jealous of people with siblings because she didn't have any. And she knew how great Harry's relationship with Gemma was.

"Hi Harry! It's been a while since we saw each other," then she heard some high pitched woman's voice she didn't recognize.

"Katy," she heard Harry stating blankly.

"Yeah it's me! Can't you believe it I managed to come with Gemma and leave my work for a while," she said with a syrupy voice.

"You wouldn't have to do that!" Harry said with excessively cheery voice and Alison almost started to laugh aloud. She covered her mouth with her hand just in case she'd accidentally let out some noise. She already knew she was not going to like Katy.

She heard Harry asking about their flight and Gemma started to explain some irritating woman who had been sitting behind them.

Alison felt her patiance running out when the conversation kept going on and on before Harry sharply cut off her sister.

"What if we go grab pints in the bar?"

"Um... Yeah sounds good we just-" Gemma started to speak.

"You go first. I just put some clothes on and then meet you in the lobby," he said and Alison heard Gemma muttering something before the door was opened and then closed.

Alison stood up stumbling a little and grabbing her purse from the floor before she opened the door.

"Finally!" she cried out when she stepped out of the bathroom and saw Harry pulling his shirt on.

"We're gonna-"

"Yeah I heard."

"Well um... I was thinking if you could wait here. I try to be quick and then we can continue where we left," Harry said winking and then biting her bottom lip. Alison stared at him in disbelief. He did just not say that?

"What?" she breathed out and his smirk changed into a frown. "I'm not just some slut who waits for you to fuck her."

"No I didn't mean..." he started but she stormed past him on the door.

"Alison I'm sorry! Please just wait," he begged and before she managed to get out of the door he grabbed her hand and spinned her around to face him.

"I'm gonna go sleep in the bus," she told him and he opened his mouth to say something but thought better and closed it. He let go of her hand sighing and she walked out of the door.

She walked down the stairs and asked the receptionist where the toilets where. When she found the bathroom she checked herself from the mirror and washed the lipstick from her cheeks before stepping out of the small room. But when she was about to leave the hotel she saw him and froze on her place.

He was smiling widely when he opened his arms to hug the tall brunette girl who was presumably Katy. Alison saw her laughing and giving him a kiss a little too close to his lips. Then she whispered something to his ear and he laughed before pulling away from her but leaving his arm around her. She watched as the three of them walked out of her sight before she rushed out of the hotel in the darkening night.

She couldn't help the tears stinging the corners of her eyes and though she didn't want to admit, it had hurt seeing him with her like that. She tried to convince herself to believe they were just good friends but something about the way they had interacted told her otherwise.

She stumbled her way towards the arena and one of the bodyguards let her inside the tour bus. She managed to hold her tears when the man asked her if she was alright when he saw her face. But she convinced him she was just fine before closing the door of the quiet bus and bursting into tears then.

She blamed the alcohol boiling in her veins of her current state and tried to assure herself that Harry hadn't affected her at all. She grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and drunk hungrily to sober herself up not even bothering to switch the light on.

"Alison?" she jumped when she heard someone behind her and she turned her head quickly in the direction.

"Oh god, you scared the shit out of me," Josh said as he switched the small light on. He leaned against the counter and rubbed his eyes sleepily.

"I thought someone was gonna murder me. What are you even doing sneaking in the dark?" he asked and looked at her. She quickly turned her gaze on the floor trying to avoid his eyes.

"Alison? Have you been crying? Is everything okay?" he asked when he noticed the tears on her cheeks. She smiled lightly and shook her head.

"I'm fine just a little too tired," she told him and luckily he didn't push it. He came closer and stopped infront of her giving her a side hug. She couldn't help herself anymore and burst into tears because of his kindness.

"Hey, it's alright c'mon," he hushed her and hugged her tighter.

"I-I thought there was no one," she hiccupied through her tears.

"Well Zayn and Liam are fast asleep in the bunks and I don't know where the others are," he told her. They fell in silence for a while and he kept rocking her side to side. After a moment she stopped crying and he leaned backwards wiping her tears with his thumb. She smiled at the little gesture and took a step away from him.

"Would you like to watch a movie with me? I couldn't sleep so..." he trailed off.

She considered for a moment. She knew she couldn't sleep because her mind was still going hundred miles a minute. Besides Josh was always good company so she smiled at him and nodded. He led her in the back of the bus and picked some DVD from the table putting it on.

They sat on the coach and he opened his arm gesturing her to lean against him. She leaned to his side gratefully and because she was so tired she didn't even care if they were a little too close just for friends. It didn't take long when her eyes started to lull and her mind couldn't concentrate on the movie anymore. She fell in a peaceful sleep while Josh's warm hand kept petting her skin.
