Chapter 22

Niall's P.O.V.

I slowly walked in and Lou looked over at me from where she was holding Abigail. "Abigail." I said quietly and she looked over at me letting go of Lou.

"I-I'm sorry, I just fucked up your interview and I'm so sor-" She rambled on before i pulled her into a tight hug. She wrapped her arms around me burying her face in my neck as she cried quietly.

"Abigail it's fine. None of this is your fault. A very, very angry Louis is on the phone with management now and I can guarentee you everything is going to be okay." I mumbled rubbing her backs.

"Bloody pricks!" I heard Louis shout before he and the other boys came into the room. "I mean how could they do that! I thought I made it damn clear to that fat ass what his boundaries were! And there he goes fucking it up!" Louis continued to shout pacing around the room. 

"Louis." I rose my voice a bit grabbing his attention. He was clearly unaware that Abigail was in the room.

"Oh, Abby, I'm sorry." He spoke softly as he came closer to us. 

"Louis it's fine, Uh, thank you." She let go of me and hugged Louis, Louis easing into the hug, his anger lowering.

"How about we just go back to the hotel." Harry suggested and we all nodded. Louis and Abigail and the rest of the boys left the room and I slowly trailed behind with Lou.

"It's gonna be okay Ni." I looked over at Lou as she threw an arm around me. "She's just, a very, complicated girl I've come to learn and all of this new stuff isn't helping the level of stress her life is at now." 

"I know I just... I'm trying." I sighed as we got into the next car following the others to the hotel. 

"I know you are, and so does she." She patted my back trying to soothe me. "The thing is she hasn't lived a very attention filled life, yeah? You guys get a lot of that. You have to ease her into it. Management was wrong for flinging this interview on her right away. It was stressful and nerve racking."

"Yeah I know. Maybe we'll just keep her in for a few days and slowly bring her into small crowds yeah?" I looked over at Lou and she gave me a little smile and nod. 

"And Niall, I know you fancy her." Lou giggled ruffling up my hair.

"Can you blame me?" I smiled sighing. I leaned back in my seat looking out the window at beautiful daytime L.A.

When we got to the hotel we all went up to our rooms. The boys and I staying in one and Abigail Lou and Lux in the other. I was unpacking my bag when I heard a knock on this door in the middle of the room. 

Liam walked over to is unlocking it and opening it to reveal Lux and the girls. "Connecting doors ya?" Zayn chuckled from his spot on the couch. 

Lux came running in and over to the couch crawling on and jumping on Zayns lap. "Did you unpack yet?" I asked Abigail as she sat on my bed watching me. 

"Ya, there wasn't much to unpack." She smiled playing with the fringes on the pillow. 

"Ah that reminds me. Ms.Abigail." Louis came over jumping onto the bed next to her. "The boys and I realized what a lack of girl time you have in your life. So while we're out doing promos, you, Lou and Harry's sister Gemma are going to do a bit of shopping."

"Wha-"

"Yes that is right. You need to start hanging around girls more because honey, you don't have the greatest fashion sense." Louis whispered grinning at her.

"Hey!" She picked up the pillow whacking him with it. 

"I'm just saying darling." Louis chuckled standing back up. 

Abigail's P.O.V.

"Gemma's here!" Harry walked into the hotel room followed by a very pretty girl. 

"Gemma!" All the boys shouted running over to her and tackling her in a group hug.

"Harry!" Lux squealed crawling off the couch and running to Harry.

"Gemma this is Abigail." Harry walked ovre with Gemma introducing us.

"Ah yes, I've heard a lot about you." Gemma smiled pulling me into a hug. I squeezed my eyes shut, alot about me. Meaning all the bad stuff I did, or do, and how muc of a whore I am. Great.

"It's uhm nice meeting you." I smiled pulling away from her. "I looked over at Niall and he gave me a little encouragin smile. 

"Anywho, you girls have some shopping to do and we have a signing to do so off you go!" Louis pushed us all toward the little connecting door back into our room.

"Gemma's going to be staying in here with us Abigail." Lou told me as Gemma placed her stuff on the bed.

There was a knock on the door and we looked at each other trying to figure out what they would want. Lou opened it to reveal Harry holding Lux.

"You forgot something." He chuckled handing Lux over. Lou smiled and shut the door before Lux started giggling uncontrollably. 

"Well I don't know about you girls but I am starving." Lou laughed and we all nodded agreeing.

"It's different here in America." I laughed as we walked into a little cafe styled place.

"Yeah it is, but you get used to it." Lou smiled as we took a seat a table by the window. 

"So Abigail, Harry told me a lot about you." Gemma smiled after we ordered our lunch.

"Yeah, I'm sure there weren't many good things." I laughed half-heartedly. 

"I think you're great." Gemma blurted out throwing me off. "I was shocked at first, trying to imagine a life like that but I don't know something about it was kind of... beautiful." She mumbled nervously. 

"Uh yeah, I guess it depends on how you look at it. Most people jump to conclusions." I looked at her trying not to say anything stupid. 

"I can see how that happens. But yeah, he told me everything. I just thought I would let you know that.... I uh, don't really care about all that stuff and I won't judge you." She smiled sweetly at me.

"Thank you." I replied sincerely. We spent the rest of the lunch with Gemma telling us about her school and how it's going and she shared a few stories about Harry that wee hilarious.

It was nice wlaking around with girls. I can't even remember that last time I hung out with girls 

They helped me pick out basically a whole new wardorbe. "You're in the lime light now girl, touring with the biggest band in the world! You have to look your best!" Gemma laughed as she grabbed the bags off the counter and handed them to me. 

"So do you fancy anyone?" She questioned as we waited for Lou and Lux outside the bathroom. 

"I, uh, I don't know, I've never really liked anyone." I admitted shyly. 

"Oh c'mon you have to have a crush!" Gemma pushed me playfully.

"All ready girls?" Lou popped out with Lux and we started walking down the street. 

"I was trying to get a little information out of Abigail on who she likes." Gemma smirked winking at me. 

"ooo, I think I have an idea of who it is." Lou shared the same devious look.

"And who might that be?" I cocked my eyebrow looking at her.

"I think Abby fancies Niall." Gemma gasped and looked over at me, my face heating up.

"You so do!" Gemma smacked my arm laughing. "He's quite fit, ya?"

"Oh my goodness." I giggled embarrassed.

"A little birdy told me that he fancies you too." Lou whispered winking at me. "I think we should send them off on a date." 

"I agree!" Gemma chimed in smiling bigger than ever. "You like that new dress you got today ya?"

"Ya, it's gorgeous." I smiled remembering how happy I was with how it looked on me.

"Well your gonna break it in tonight." 

"What do you mean?" I narrowed my eyes at the two girls as we turned into the hotel. 

"I mean you've got a date tonight silly."

"Gemma, I've never been on a proper date and what if he doesn't even want to take m-"

"Shush woman. It's going to be... perfect." 

"What's going to be perfect?" We looked ahead as Niall, Harry and Louis were right in front of us in the lobby.

"The date Niall and Abigail are going on tonight." Gemma smiled looking between Niall and I.

"Niall buddy you finally asked her on a date?" Harry chuckled patting him on the back.

"Uh no, wh-what?" Niall sputtered out clearly flustered. 

"Mhm, I decided for you guys. Gemma the match maker is back in town people!" She shouted making Harry shake his head. 

"Wait a second." I stopped looking over at Niall. "Let's do this the right way, ya? Abigail, will you go on a date with me tonight?"

"Uhm, I have a feeling I don't really have a choice but yes." I giggled looking over at Gemma and Lou as they high-fived.

"I come?" Lux spoke up. "I come?"

"Nope, you need a bath you stinky baby." Lux giggled. "Let's go ladies we have prepping to do."

"Let's go men, we have a date to plan." Harry grabbed Louis and Niall by the wrist pulling them over to the other elevator.

"My Abigail is going on a date?" Louis spoke up for the first time. The doors on their elevator closed as ours opened.

"Let's go ladies, we have a date to get ready for."
