"Annie!" Harry yells from across the airport. "And Liam." Liam says walking behind me. Harry runs over to me and hugs me. "I miss you so much." "I've missed you too Harry." everyones here except Niall. "Where's Niall?" "Still on a plane." "oh." "Don't be sad." "Harry move so I can hug her too!" Louis yells pulling Harry from me. "Annie!" "Louis!" "I love you!" "thanks?" "your supposed to say I love you too." "well I'm not supposed to lie." "Annie!" "kidding. I love you too." "Louis it's my turn!" "Zayn!" "Vas Happenin'!" "nice." "how are you?" "I'm good. Ish." "people being mean?" I nod my head. "I'm sorry." "It's okay. Can't really do anything about it." "yes we can." "what do you-" he picks me up and stand on a chair. "Zayn what are you doi-" "If anyone is mean to this girl your being mean to us!" "Zayn put me down!" "Got it!" "Zayn." he jumps off the chair and sets me down. "now no one will be mean." "are you sure?" "nope." "well." "It's Niall!" I turn and see Niall walking off his plane. Louis runs to him and picks him up. "you walk to slow." he sets him down in front of me. "I missed you so much!" he says hugging me. He buries his head in the crook of my neck. He's crying softly. "what's wrong?" I ask putting my arms around his waist. "People hate us." he says in-between sobs. "It's okay Niall." the rest of the boys join us in a group hug. "Don't cry mate." Liam says. "Come on let's go to the hotel." Paul says breaking it up. "wait where are we?" "Australia." "What?!" "yeah were on tour." "I thought we were going home first." "no." "well then." when we arrive at the hotel there's tons of fans waiting. We walk in and there's people shouting horrible things at me. Tears are forming in my eyes. Niall wraps his arm around me and leads me inside. We get into our room which is on the top floor and I burst into tears. Niall pulls me into a hug. "Don't listen to them." I finally snap. "how can I not listen to them it's all I hear! Everything, everyday! Magazines, twitter, and everything else they all say bad things about me." "we understand." Harry says. I'm walking around the kitchen area. "You don't understand! Its hard!" "Annie calm down." Harry pulls me to him. "I know what your feeling. We all do. Have you ever read any of the things we get? They call Niall ugly! Louis rude! Zayn high on drugs! Liam boring and childish! They call me a 'manwhore'! Do you really think any of that is true!? Niall is the cutest person ever! Louis is anything but rude! Zayn is absolutely not high! Liam is himself! And I don't sleep with hundreds of girls! They make up things for entertainment!" he has tears in his eyes. "I think we all need to get some rest." Louis says. "Yeah." I turn from Harry and head into one of the bedrooms. Harry completely opened up. I knew some people hated on them but I didn't think it was that bad. I feel really bad for yelling at them. They just don't understand fully what I'm going through. I fall asleep sad. Tomorrow they are kicking off the world tour with their concert and I'm required to go since I can't go anywhere alone. Apparently it's morning because the boys are jumping on my bed. "Time to wake up!" "okay, okay. I'm up!" "get dressed we need to go to the arena." "okay." I change into a waist high floral skirt and a white shirt. I put on some sandals and put my hair into a braid to the side. "You look nice." I turn and see Harry. "thanks." "listen." "if your going to apologize for yesterday don't. I need to for getting mad I didn't know they said those things about you." "it's fine. I never really talk about any of that." "let's just forget about last night." "okay. So are you ready to go?" "yeah." I grab my phone off the nightstand along with my ear phones. We get into the car with the other boys to drive to the arena. "You look pretty today." Zayn says. "did I not yesterday?" "no you did just your wearing a skirt." "and that's supposed to mean?" "never mind I don't even know what I'm talking about." "okay." "were here." we jump out and go into the arena. The boys go to rehearse and I stay in the dressing and play Pokemon on Liam's DS. I play for the whole time only stopping for lunch. The boys come in to change for the meet and greet before. "Hey Annie." "hey Harry." "let's go." "do I have to go out there?" "yes." "but people will be mean." "we'll make sure no ones mean to you." "promise?" "no one will hurt you." "fine." we go backstage to where it is and sit at a table. I sit in-between Harry and Liam. I don't say anything even when people try to talk to me. There's a few mean glances and remarks but Liam or Harry usually say something to them. The last person to have her cd signed comes up to me and spills the coffee cup in front of me. It drips down onto my lap. "Excuse me but who gave you the rights to do that to her?" "Her breaking Niall's heart." "She didn't it was a fake tweet. Hatred like you make her want to break up with him so she doesn't have to deal with this. And she doesn't need to." we go back to the dressing room and I change into a pair of Louis' sweatpants and T-shirts. I lay on the couch face down and cry. The boys try to talk to me but are ushered out to perform. I cry myself to sleep that night.
