Arial P.O.V

when I woke up the next morning. I went to bathroom to get washed up. I felt really greasy as well so I took a shower, me being my old clumsy self I forgot to take something to change in like always.

I securely raped the towel around my body. My hair soaking wet, but I didn't care at the moment I was going to let it air dry anyways.

I tiptoed to my bag under my bunk which was right in front of were Niall was a sleep.
I bent down to get it.

"Good morning Ari " I heard Niall I gasped hitting my head in the bed. I wined loudly

"Don't look at me" I shouted.
"Shit you okay" Niall asked holding my head.

"Don't look at me I am naked" I shouted one more time. He lets go of me.

I took my clothes and went to change in the bathroom I came back Niall was already in the kitchen trying to make something to eat.

"Hay " I spoke "Hay bbe" he said making a sandwich.

"Sorry about that " I said
He laughed.

"oh don't worry about it" he said winking at me.

Did he just wink at me !?!?!??!

I shook my head "How about you let me fix that while you go fresh up!!" I said taking the cheese from him.

"Okay mom " he said laughing
I slapped his arm playfully as he walked to the bathroom.

A few minutes later Niall probably had decided he was not getting out of the bathroom soon.

Eleanor walked in; just as I had guessed her and Louis were probably the only ones on the bus yesterday.

"Good morning " She said

"Good morning " I said hesitantly

"slept well? ?" I added

"Yeah thanks" She smiled

"Am making breakfast for Niall and myself would you like to join?" I asked

"Yeah sure " She said walking towards me.

We prepared breakfast in silence.

"Am sorry about the way the I  have treated you for the past week " Eleanor suddenly said out of the blue.

Wait whatttttt she is actually apologising! !!!!!!

I stayed calm.

"You seem like a nice person Arial, I was just really frustrated about the fact that.... you know the rumors and stuff" She said

"I know" I said understanding

"But you gotta know where I am coming from. I mean do you know how hard is it to date a celebrity. Let alone band mate of the biggest pop act on the planet???" She said freaking out

"I am sorry" I spoke softly

"I don't need your sorry!!" She said then took I deep breath
"Sorry" She said correcting herself.

I smiled

"I spend every second of the day worrying about if he is gonna find someone better than me. I worry if he is gonna ditch me the minute he finds another girl. And believe me there are a lot of them everywhere he goes." She said tearing up.

I actually genuinely felt bad for her at this moment.

I placed a hand on her shoulder.
"You're beautiful you know that right Eleanor??" I asked.

She breathed loudly trying to contain mor tears.

"Louis loves you. You don't need to worry. You should have seen the way he talks about you." I said rubbing her shoulder softly.

" You guys have been togather for long enough that you should now know you guys are made for each other." I said

"2 years and a few months " She told me

"And you still doubt he loves you" I said.

She shrugged her shoulders.

"You need to stop worrying right this second and start enjoying and making every minute with your boyfriend count " I said

Almost not believing I was the one saying that.

Am I a genius or what people! !

Eleanor looked at me then said the one thing I wouldn't have ever thought. "You're beautiful too you know " She said I felt a bit blushy.

"Thank you it really means alot " I said

She leaned in hugging Me. I hugged her back after a mere shock.

"Louis Tomlinson loves you don't forget that" I whispered
" I love him too so much " she said crying a bit.

"Hallo ladies " Louis's loud voice crept in the small kitchen.

"Take your hands off of my girlfriend Ari; she is mine"
I laughed letting go.

Eleanor walked to Louis's. I think he saw her crying and asked why was she. "What's wrong love ??" Eleanor lift him no place, and immediately kissed him; I turned around to give them some space.

"What was that for" I heard Louis after a few seconds.

"I just love you very much" I heard Eleanor.

"I love you too El more than I could possibly tell you " Louis said I almost teared up they are so cuteeee.

We had breakfast when Niall decided it was long enough in the bathroom.

"Lottie is coming tomorrow" Louis said.

"Yeah! How old is she again?" I asked.

"15" Eleanor said smiling.

******

I sat around drawing. Thinking of a way to repay Lou for the outfits she got me.

I need to find some kind of a job. I feel so helpless. I have been with these wonderful people for about 3 weeks. And I have not helped in any way possible.
Well am obviously a hopeless case that's why.
Still gotta figure a way out.

I felt someone sit beside me. "Wow that's so cool" Harry said taking my sketch and looking at my work.

I smiled "Do you really like it?" I asked.

"Yeah you're really good at this why don't you sell these stuff" he said triggering an idea in my head.

"Yess yes that should solve everything I would give that ago" I said basically shouted.

"What are you talking about Ari" he asked worried 'what a crazy girl' he must be thinking.

I ran to my bed getting out different pictures I had drawn over the past weeks.

I ran back to Harry "Harry do me a favor and come with me" I said dragging him holding his hand and pushing him off the sofa we were sat at; well tried to, he is really heavy .

"Where to?!" he laughed
"Just get up " I said

We got into Harry's car a pure classic antique

"To an Art shop "I said

"Okayyy am honestly to gonna pretend I know where that is; cause honestly I don't " he said

I laughed "use that GPS thing Niall and Paul use" I said fastening my seat belt.

"Right, I knew you were my favourite for a reason " he said
I laughed

"I'm a genuine genius took me long to figure " I said taking pride in myself.

Harry laughed; pulling in infront of an Art shop. I told him to wait for me and that I will be back in 5 he nodded.

I eventually came back in 2.

"How did it go??" Harry asked

"Not too good" I said

We pulled in front of of a different shop same old. The owner hated it calling it unoriginal and very messy. Will that was right.

I got back to the car taking the sketches out; trying to somehow shape them a bit better.
Actually not much I can do

We pulled in front of 3 other shops. I sat in the car titling my head back words. Breathing out loudly. This was a total waste of time. I got all excited for nothing.
"Hay don't worry we will find someone who appreciates your work." Harry said rubbing circles on my thighs.

That made me relax and shiver in an odd way.

"I don't think so it's not even painted it's just pencil; so it's nothing " I said as matter of fact.

"Hay that's not true. It's great " he said putting a hand on my shoulder.

He pulled infront of one more shop we have been going in and out of shops. Well I was Harry would just wait for me in the car.
"Am coming with you" he said

"Harry you really don't have to it will be just like the others" I said

"Hay brighten up. I  am with you. I will be your good luck charm." He said smirking.

I laughed "fine " I said taking only one of the sketches.
Knowing that there is no point of taking all of them and coming back with it unsold.

I entered the shop amazed by the very classy work hung up.

"Hallo sir " I said giving the man a small smile.

He looked at me lowering his glasses to look at me.

"How may I help you young lady?" He asked very formally.

"I was hoping Sir that you might take a liking to this piece " I said showing the photo I drew weeks ago when I first met the boys.

A young girl and a boy hugging. I am quite sure Zayn had took a specific liking to this one. And another of a girl, now that one is one I am most proud of.

The man took his glasses of to look at my drawing eyeing me every now and then.

Then sliding his glasses on then looking at me.

I felt a little awkward so I looked around searching for Harry.

'Harry ' I wispered he was starring at the photos hung up taking the art in. he walked to me muttering a 'sorry' under his breath .

"Did my good luck charm work?" He asked

I was about to mock him and say no. But got cut off by the man asking if I drew this.

"Yes sir I did " i said

"Do you have more with you Ms?" he asked

I looked at Harry.
He nodded and went to bring the rest from the car.

"I could trade you for $120 how does that work for you?" He asked my jaw fell wide open.

"Sold" I said insanely excited.
He started to move around.

When Harry came back he gave the sketches to the Man.

"Are you okay Ari? " he asked

I looked at him dazed by what the actual hell just happened.

Whenever the Man would say that he liked some of the sketches and would take it for a particular price that would literally blow me away.

My mouth hung open a ridiculous grin on my face.

"Yeah that should go fine " Harry told him basically speaking for me as I was way done.

"Don't you think this one deserves more? " Harry said
I almost slapped him what could be more than $65 for this one it was basically sky with a few stars; and a girl looking up at them.

But the man nodded saying $80 I can not raise.

I gasped holding Harry's hand feeling that I could very likely pass out this instant.

I saw Harry smirking probably very proud of himself.

Then the man asked me "Did you try on drawing using colors? "

I swallowed hard fazed "Uhmm yeah actually but I don't have anything now."

"That is no problem; if you could  use your talent on a canvas with colourful drawings, don't hesitate to come to me." He said

I nodded.

We ended up going out of the shop with $3,200.

"All rich and making money in 10 minutes; more than I do in one week" Harry said laughing

I stopped him from walking further to the car; and hugged him tightly.

"Thank you Harry " I said almost tearing up .

I heard him chuckling " It's nothing Ari, seriously you have a great talent. Don't let anyone put you down." He said tapping my back.

Not long until a few people gathered around cause obviously I am standing with the Harry Styles.

We drove back to the tour bus.

I walked to Niall and Zayn screaming and hugging them

"You won't believe what just happened!!!!"

"Well hallo to you to bbe. Where have you been btw. I was getting worried. " Niall said

I was about to explain "Harry and I ..."

"HARRY! !!! ARIAL " Paul shouted I closed my eyes afraid of what was about to come.

Paul giving Harry the talk cause he left without telling anyone.

Zayn and Niall stood unable to talk as well.

Zayn was about to leave.

"And where you think you are going Malik that goes to you too" Paul scolded.

"Paul I am sorry this is my fault. I was the one who dragged him to do me a favor. " I argued

"And you Arial you could have been gone missing neither you or Harry know Dublin. " he said trying to contain his anger.

"We used GPS! "I said as a matter of fact.

Niall and Zayn and Harry chuckling at the way I said it my voice very small.

Are they serious we are about to give Paul a heart attack and they are laughing. Senseless idiots.

"Still " Paul said raising his voice
I took a step back. " I know am sorry " I said very guilty by the moment.

Paul took a deep breath then started "It's my job to keep you safe, and I can't do it when one of you goes sneaking out behind my back and the other ignores my calls." he said refaring to Niall yesterday.

"I am so sorry. I promise I won't do it again."

Paul nodded "Anyways where were you?.... We need to get you a phone. .." Paul said cutting himself.

"I went to sell my drawings" I  said, Zayn gave me thumbs up.

I ignored it for a moment thinking.

I found it very weird that he actually made it his job to protect me Why? !?!! I thought

Why? ?!?!?!?!

He doesn't know me .

He can very easily ditch me the moment he decides.

I am not part of the crew, or the band, and I am certainly not a relative.

I am nothing.

Just a broken girl on the street.

So I asked

" Paul. ... " He looked up at me

"Why do you care so much if I went missing ????" I asked

Hallo!! People

Have a great day. Hopefully you all are still reading this story.

Lots of love ♥♥♥
