Through The Dark

Sophia's POV

I was sleeping quite perfectly fine, when Perrie woke me up.

I groggily opened my eyes to see Perrie running around my house, getting clothes and picking stuff up.

"Shit! Get your butt out of bed. We overslept and you guys are leaving for Columbia already!" Perrie said, pulling me out of bed.

"What? Oh Jesus Christ." I groaned as I ran to the bathroom.

"I'll pack for you! Just shower!" Perrie yelled.

I rinsed and scrubbed my hair as fast as I could so I could have time to shave. It never felt right not to.

I wrapped myself in a towel and walked into my room.

Perrie had laid out an outfit for me. I changed fast and squeezed the water out of my hair before braiding it.


She ran into me in the hallway.
"Hurry! They're here!" She yelled, pulling me out to the front door.

Ashton, Zayn and Niall waited for us outside my house.

"My suitcases!" I exclaimed.

"In the car already." Niall said.

"You guys are the best." I told them as we buckled our seat belts.

We pulled up to the terminal.

Fenced off by metal barricades and security guards, screaming fans were blocked off each side of the enTry way.

Perrie tugged me forward.
"There's time for that later." She said.

Some of the assistants took my suitcases, and I passed through security with an ease.

I forgot. Perrie wasn't touring with us.
I turned around to see Zayn and Perrie pull away from a kiss. They hugged, and held tight. Perrie wiped some tears.

She turned and saw me.
"Make me proud!" She yelled.

"Finally! Took you forever." Harry said, jogging up to where I was.

"Yeah, well I'm here now." I said, walking away and sitting next to Ashton on the floor.

"Have you checked your Instagram?" He said smiling.

"No." I said, pulling out my phone.

One if the assistants handed me a bagel with cream cheese and a carton of milk. My favorite!

I clicked in my profile and nearly choked on my bagel.
"97k?" I gasped.

"Yup." He said grinning.

He tapped and swiped to his profile.
"I think this helped."

A picture he posted last night.
We were sitting on the hood if the coor. I had my arms outstretched and looking up at the sky while Ashton caught a flower, grinning like a mad man.

"I look like a flower fairy." I joked.

"I know this is off-topic, but what's your stage name?" He asked. "I mentioned Sophia Jones and people were all confused."

"It's Phia Jones. I changed it." I said.

"That's great! I'm so excited for the tour." He gushed.

"Yeah. Me too." I said.

"What song are you performing?" He asked.

"A little something. A preview to my EP." I said.

Harry walked out from the side. He caught my expression, and I looked away before either of us got a chance to do anything.

"Sophia? May I talk to you?" Simon said.

I stood up and dusted my knees.
"Yes? What's up?" I asked.

"I heard about your good news. And the bad one. Until anything happens, you are to remain his girlfriend." He said.

"Okay. Wait. Until what happens?" I asked.

"Dunno. What ever comes up." Simon said.

"Flight 14d to Bogata now boarding." A voice over intercom pinged.

We picked up all our stuff, and lined up my the gates.
While we waited, I chatted with the stag and the musicians.

Finally! I picked up my bag and followed everyone.

The flight attendant with ginger hair smiled a plastic grin as I walked by, not blinking. Creepy.

I sat on the right side of the plane, window seat.

We literally took up almost the whole plane.

I looked out the windows and watched how the employes worked.

"Hey." Someone spoke.

"Hi Harry." I said.

"Listen. Hear me out, okay? I can't bear not talking to you.
It bothers me, a lot. Can we, try? Again?" Harry asked.

I rubbed my eyes. "No, Harry. I can try to be your friend. But I won't to be your girlfriend. I'll stick with my role." I said, staring at the patterns swirled on the chair.

"Fine. I'll see you when we arrive. Okay?" Harry asked, unbuckling his seat belt and rising.

A part of me hoped he would stay and talk about things like we used to. Yet part was happy he was gone.

I pulled out my book and began to read while the plane ascended.

"Stop reading. This isn't school." Niall pouted, sitting next to the seat next to me.

"I can't resist Angels and Demons. I can read it back to back." I said smiling.

"Really now? I guess you'll have to read to me then while we are in tour. What are you performing, by the way? " Niall asked.

"Is a surprise." I told him.

"Get some rest. Don't look at me like that. I know you just woke up. Trust me. The fans do not stop screaming at night. " Niall suggested, leaving.

Great. No one wants to sit next to me. Never mind.

Ashton sat beside me.
"Sleepy?" He asked, yawning.

"No. But I'll sleep anyways." I said.

I put my book down and shifted myself into a comfortable position .

"Movie?" I asked, pointing to the private screens.

"How about.. Bruce Almighty?" He asked.

I yawned. "I don't care. I'm going to sleep."

"Okay. Sleep tight." He said.

I curled up and closed my eyes.



When I awoke, I was leaning on Ashton's shoulder. The movie ended, the credits rolling.

The flight attendant pushed her cart over.
"Hi! Lunch plate?" She asked.

"Sure." I said shrugging.

I chose the Chipotle salad.

Ashton stirred and rubbed his eyes.

"What time is it?" He groaned.

"12:30. Lunch?" The attendant asked.

Ashton and I ate in silence.

"So what's it like?" I asked.

"Tour? Amazing. I hate to have to stop our act. I hate the uncomfortable dressing rooms. I hate that the fans don't let us sleep. I hate a lot of things. But I love them. It's all worth it." He said smiling.

"I'm afraid they won't like me." I said, stabbing a piece of chicken.

"They will. You're a breaking out artist. You became popular from YouTube. They don't know you yet." He said.

"And it's a stadium tour. Can't believe it one stadium, it fits 90k
I said.

"I know right." He scoffed. "it's going to be epic." He said, grinning.

"Definitely."
