Safe heaven

Erica's P.O.V.

As soon as we got to the arena the boys were off to an interview. So here I am wondering around with Paul.

"This place is going to be packed tonight." He says looking around the arena.

"Yea it's crazy to think we were just here last week for a concert." I say remembering the night spent with Liam and Harry.

"Erica!" I hear a voice that sound very familiar. I turn around to see El running toward me.

"El!" I squeal as I run toward her. We embrace each other in a tight hug.

"I can't believe today is the day!" She says excitedly as we walk around the arena. Paul wonders off somewhere and I continue my conversation with El.

"I know!" I say smiling.

"I'm going to try to come to as many shows as I can! I can't believe you are leaving me!" She says with a pout.

"I know but someone has to keep an eye on Louis!" I say laughing.

"So you and Harry!" She said with a huge grin plastered on her face.

"What about us?" I say taking a sip of water out of my plastic bottle.

"Don't play dumb! I heard you two last night." I choke on my water as the words come from her mouth.

"You heard us?!" I say as my face grows a deep shade of red.

"Yea I mean you guys weren't exactly keeping it down."

"I'm so sorry El! I didn't know we were being that loud!" I say embarrassed.

"Don't be love, I'm sure Harry has heard is many times before so he was probably trying to get back at us." She says with a shrug.

"Oh" I say with a smirk.

"Well let's go do something!" She says pulling me up to the stage.

"What are we doing!" I laugh as El picks us two microphones.

"Our own sound check!" She says with a laugh and then tosses me one.

"Mic check one two" she says into the microphone.

"Three four." I say into mine and it fills the speakers surrounding the stage.

"Okay this is how it's going down my name is El and it rhymes with bell" Eleanor starts rapping into the mic.

"We are swell just me and El." I start to say.

"But put us together be ready for hell" she laughs into the microphone.

"They say 1d has all the fame but it is us who has the game." We join laughing together as I finish.


"Very well done ladies!" Louis and Harry applaud us as they walk on stage.

"Well thank you thank you." El says as we both bow.

"I think we might have to work on our rap game a bit Lou." Harry says with a grin.

"Well we can give you some pointers but it's going to cost you." I say handing the microphone to Harry.

"Well maybe we can teach you some actual jokes." Harry says with a smirk.

"Oh so you don't like my jokes?!" I say offensively.

"Well I guess that means you won't be getting it in anymore." El jokes and my face turns a bit red, but
Harry's is a whole new shade of red.

Everyone starts laughing and we all decide to go grab some lunch.

"This is why we don't take you guys out in public!" El laughs as Harry and Louis look at each other with fries hanging from their mouths like walruses. I just laugh and shake my head.

"You know you love it!" Lou says taking them out and eating them. El just laughs.

"Well we should get going you guys have your sound check soon!" I say scooting out of the booth.

"Do you two think you guys will be able to get there on your own? I want to take Erica with me to get ready for tonight." El ask sweetly. The boy nod and we say our goodbyes.

"My mum will probably be texting you shortly asking where she should meet you guys." Harry says quickly before climbing into his car.

"Okay." I say pressing on last kiss to his lips.

"Bye" he says closing the door.

"Come on girl let's go get ready!" El cheers pulling me towards the cab she called for.

"We look so cute!" El squeals looking in the mirror at our reflection.

"Yes yes we do!" I say with a laugh. I adjust my pants one last time before Anne walks into the dressing room.

"Hey girls!" She says with a big smile pulling us into a hug.

"Hi Anne!" We both chime together.

"Well you two look awful cute this evening!" She says looking at our outfits. We are just wearing matching tour shirts with the boys signatures on them and some skinny jeans.

"Thanks" I say taking her compliment.

After a bit of conversation the other mothers arrive and they go find their seats out in the arena.

"Oh you have to meet Lou!" El says grabbing my hand and pulls me back to the dressing room.

"Lou!" El squeals as a thin blonde girl appears as we walk into the room.

"El! And this must be the one and only Erica!" She says with a smile. I nod.

"Harry wouldn't stop talking about you today!" She says as a blush comes across my checks.

We talk for a bit before she has to touch up the boys before the show.

I stand here talking to Paul and Eleanor waiting for the boys to finish getting ready. When all of a sudden Niall runs out of the room laughing hard, followed by Zayn and Liam.

"What did you boys do now?" Paul asks walking toward the door and pops his head in. He chuckles and motions me to come look.

I look in the room and see Harry and Louis duck taped together trying to escape the mess that their tangled in.

"How did you guys manage to do that?!" I laugh. The boys just continue laughing and I shake my head. I walk into the room and help free the boys.

"Okay this might hurt a bit." I say preparing Louis for the pain that might occur when I rip the the last piece of tape off of his face.

"On the count of three okay?" I ask and he nods.

"One....two......three!" I say ripping the gray tape off of him. He hisses in pains and rubs his face. Me and Harry laugh as a red patch comes across his face.
"Thanks guys!" He says with sarcasm.

"Anytime Lou! Now you guys have a show to do!" I say patting him on the back. Smiles come across their faces as the words leave my mouth.

"Well then let's go!" Lou says grabbing El's hand and Harry grabs mine and they pull us both out of the room.

"Good luck tonight!" I say pressing a kiss to Harry's check.

"Thanks love!" He returns a kiss before heading on the the stage.

Eleanor and I make our way out to the front row into the sea of screaming fans. We watch as the boy just have fun performing. We sing along to most of the songs. I almost pee my pants when they start Teenage Dirtbag. Believe me I was screaming all the lyrics. I don't think the night could have went any better!

"We just want to say a massive thank you to every single one of you guy! We wouldn't be here without you!" Zayn said right before they started the last song.



"Now Erica just make sure they don't over do it tonight!" Paul reminds me as I fix my dress I threw on after the show.

"Got it Paul I'll have them home before one!" I say with a smile.

I wait for El and the boys to finish getting ready for our night out. The boys decided that they wanted to go celebrate after the first show. And Paul told me to tag along to keep a watchful eye on them.

"Well you look nice love." Harry said placing his hand in the small of my back.

"You don't look that bad yourself." I say wrapping my arm around his rib cage. He embraces me in a hug and I take in his cologne.

"You smell really good."

"Well thanks for noticing." He says with a laugh.

"Anytime" I laugh breaking away from Harry.

"I'm going to see what's taking El so long." I say as I start to walk away. Before I got to far Harry grabbed my wrist and pulled me back to him.

"I forgot something." He said hovering his lip extremely close to mine. Our lips quickly meet sending an explosion of butterflies to burst in my stomach. I know he felt me smiling because I could feel his mouth slowly creep into a smile.

"Okay guy enough of that!" Louis says walking out with the boys and El.

We all head out for a night out.

Harry's P.O.V.

I can't take my eyes off of Erica she looks absolutely stunning tonight. I mean do t get me wrong she is
always taking my breath away but tonight something's different. And I can't put my finger on it.

"You look amazing." I press my forehead to the side of hers. I noticed a small blush appearing on her cheeks.

"You already told me that." She say smiling.

"I know I thought I would tell you again." I say biting my lip.

"We're here lads!" Liam happily says opening the door of the car. We all climb out and make our way into the club.

As we walk into the door you are automatically welcomed by the sent of alcohol and a sweat smell.
We follow Zayn and Niall up to the Z.I.P lounge. Everyone orders a drink except Erica. I watch as Erica and Eleanor make their way down to the dance floor. I watch as the begging to dance freely havering a laugh.

Louis starts a conversation talking about tomorrow nights show. I look back down at the girls and notice some guys talking to them. A ping of jealously falls in my stomach. But it's soon replaced with anger as I see Erica laughing at them. I choose to ignore them and return my attention back to Louis.

"Do you ever get worried about Eleanor talking to other guys?" I ask taking a quick sip of my beer.

"No mate, well I mean yea sometimes I get a bit jealous but I know she's mine and no one else's. It's just something you have to get use to. I mean I can see why others want to talk to them, but they know where
their hearts belong and that is with us."He says noticing them down on the dance floor.

"That's nothing to worry about mate. I mean just look how uncomfortable Erica is around them." He says reassuring me that it's fine. I nod in understand and join the guys sitting around the lounge having some laughs.


Around two we all decided that we should probably head back to the hotel that we were staying at and get some rest. Niall and Louis are both intoxicated.

We all got to our rooms and El took care of Louis and Liam and Zayn took care of Niall. Erica slide the room key into the door and slowly opened it.

"I had a really fun time tonight." She said setting down her purse.

"Yea me too." I say a bit sarcastically, she seemed to notice. She turned to me with a confused look on her face.

"What's wrong?"

"I mean I had a great time watching my girlfriend dance and have fun with her best friend. Oh and the best part was watching her flirt with other guys." I say rasping my voice a bit.

"Harry what are you talking about?! Those boys came up and talked to us! And I wasn't flirting! You know that I like you and only you!"

"Sure okay" I huff as I empty my pockets and throw the contents on the nightstand.

"I'm not talking about this!" She said walking into the bathroom locking the door behind her.

I shrug it off and change for bed. I'll be the first to admit that I get jealous very easily. I've always have. I can't really control it and I also have a habit of over protecting what is mine.

I pull away from my thought as I hear the shower water turn on.

I sluggishly climb into bed a drift to sleep.

Erica's P.O.V.

I can't believe Harry is mad at me for talking to people! And I can't believe he is that jealous of them. We only talked to each other for about ten minutes. I shake my head as I turn off the water from my shower.
I wonder if Harry really thinks I would leave him that easily. Is that really all it takes to get him jealous? Does he think I would really leave him for some random guy we met at a club? Does he think that low of me?

Anger soon fills my body the more I think about this situation. Why is Harry with me if he thinks I'll just dump him as soon as I met someone new? I throw down my face towel and walk out of the bathroom.

I look over at Harry passed out on the bed and walk over to my things and pull out a big shirt and some shorts. I climb into bed and avoid Harry at all cost. He shifts a little and wraps his arm around me and pulls me closer to him. I quickly squirm out of his arms and create some distance between us.

I feel him roll over so his back is toward me, showing he is clear upset with my actions. I think nothing more of it because I don't want to pretend that we are perfectly okay. Clearly he doesn't trust me. And to think it's only the first day of tour.

This should be interesting.

Notes

Who's excited for the Where We Are tour to start?! I know I am!
