Its Gotta Be You

Ally's P.O.V

After Zooey exploded on me a little we just sat in silence as I let the radio take care of filling the awkward silence between us. I know it's not that big of a deal because it seems like only a small little fight but she's never really yelled at me like that. Sure when we were little we would get into arguments but would never raise our voices at each other, only give death stares and empty threats. Also, I don't see the reason why she would be disappointed in me when I literally just want my phone back. It's not my fault that they told me there was no other way to get it and it's not like they really want to hang out with me probably. The other night when I met them I was passed out for half the time and was quiet until Rachel came by. I really hope she didn't tell them any stories of me when I was passed out and that's the reason why they want to see me.

We pull up to the building finally and it turns out to be a hotel to no surprise. I look around and see a few girls just sitting just outside the front doors with Cd's and posters in hand. They much be their fans but they all look young and ready to pounce at any sight of the five boys. I tried not to make eye contact with any of them as Zooey and I walked purposefully into the hotel. When we got to the doors I noticed that it was one of those that spins and I was almost tempted to go in there and run around like an idiot but chose not to. I just need to go up talk to them for about five or ten minutes, grab my phone, then go back out to my car no matter what Zooey tells them or what they say. Even though I'm pretty sure they won't mind that much that I'm going to leave quickly, they can find someone else to occupy their time.

Zooey is still in a bit of a tiff and walks about a foot ahead of me while my short legs move as fast as they can trying to catch up. They had texted me previously the room number and floor and what not so once we got to the elevator Zooey just moved from the key pad with the numbers and I pressed seven. With nothing but the waltz like elevator music playing in their we stood in silence. Every few seconds I took my chances and glanced at Zo. Her brows are brought together in thought rather than anger and that small flare in her eyes are gone. Okay, good she's not angry at me anymore I can tell. I take a small step closer to her so that she won't even notice and continue to do so until my shoulder is just about touching her arm. She stands a few inches taller than me, model height is what I always say. She would make a perfect model, with her flaming red hair and intense blue eyes. Actually I feel like I've seen those eyes somewhere else recently like really recent.

Now that I am this close to Zooey I slowly but surely raise my arms and swing them around her.

“I'm sorry!” I murmur into her ear as I give her a big hug. I don't know what I am sorry for but know that it is no use fighting with her since she can hold a grudge for years. I feel her puffing and think that my thoughts of her not being angry anymore were wrong but she turns and is laughing. She wraps her arms around me too as she says, “Don't be I just got into one of my ginger rages is all.”

That comment makes us laugh hysterically as we continue to hug each other until the lift beeps letting us know that it is floor seven. I laugh as I grab her hand and pull her out of that metal machine that suddenly blasted into an instrumental version of some jazzy song. I smile and sigh for I'm glad we can get out of that because the music in those things just bother the hell out of me. I guess it's also the fact that I have a bit of a claustrophobia problem that can enhance the hate I have for elevators.

I realize that we have been walking down the hallway without even looking at the room numbers and I have also realized that I have forgotten which number they said it was. I glance nervously at Zooey who is striding with confidence next to me probably trusting my footsteps and where we are going. God this is great, we're going to not only get my phone back but talk to actual celebrities and I have actually managed to forget what the stupid number of their room was. Great going Ally.

I sigh heavily and decide that it is probably best to just stop but no I don't listen to my head because I can actually see the excitement in Zooey's movements. She's starting to get jittery and a small smile is being etched into her delicate face. Maybe, if I knock on someone's door I can play it off as they gave me the wrong room and we can go back down to the desk or something. Then again that would involve getting into that stupid elevator with the crappiest music ever. I don't really care at the moment so I just stop in front of one of the doors and look at the number, 7783. Well here it goes.

I knock three times while Zooey is shaking her hand a little and a small glow is growing in her eye. I pray to god that this room is empty but to no surprise I just can not ever be lucky. The door starts to open and a man with a suit on opens the door with a look of surprise to see two seventeen year old girls at his door. Zooey looks over to me and her pale face starts to go red and I just look at the man probably only whispering the word sorry before pulling Zooey's hand and running off the opposite direction. We finally make a turn and I notice that my face has gone hot and that I am laughing because Zooey looks like a tomato right now. With her red hair and her face going red from embarrassment I just can't stop laughing. Her on the other hand, she looks confused and almost like she can kill me.

“Now Ally, I'm going to ask you this once. Did you fucking forget the room number?” She looks at me with stern eyes. I still haven't stopped laughing and I just nod head yes. She takes a small sigh while pulling out her cellphone. I'm still in hysterics for some reason while she is dialing a number. I hear ringing in the speakers and then suddenly a voice saying hello.

“Yeah hi, I'm with Ally right now. Yep that one, yep, yep. Well it seems the idiot she is forgot the room number and I also believe we are a tad lost after the stunt she just pulled so uhm, actually yeah that'd be great! Yeah we're over by 7829. Yep, yep yeah thanks so much see you soon,” She closes the phone and looks over at me who has tears swelling up in my eyes. She just takes a deep breath in and pulls out a tissue from her purse. I gladly take it and dab at the tears threatening to spill over.

“Done laughing?” She looks over to me. I nod. “Good and because of you we are completely lost so some of them are coming to rescue us...idiot,” She mutters the last word under her breath and sits down leaning against the wall. I smile at her and take a seat as close as I can next to her.

“You know you can't stay mad at me Zo, you know it,” I lean my head into the small of her neck. She leans her head down on mine and breaths, “I know.” Well I guess all we can do is wait for them to show up.

Niall's P.O.V

“Oh my god why is this room so messy!” I hear Zayn yell from across the room. We all decided to gather in Harry and Louis room from last night as a meeting point for Ally. Liam and Louis did special wake up calls for everyone at nine in the morning, much to my dislike. I'm just a lad who likes his food and sleep and we still haven't gotten any food. The only thing that I have been eating for the past two hours were the mini candy's and peanuts from the mini fridge. For me that is basically nothing and I can hear my stomach grumble and growl as I am slowly picking up someone's boxers off the floor with the ice bucket tongs.

“And those mate, would be mine,” Louis walks over and grabs them out of the prongs. He looks at me as if contemplating something and then smacks me in the face with them. “Gross Lou!” I scream at him as he runs away laughing like a mad man.

I look around as each of the boys are doing some type of cleaning. Liam's over by the iPod dock he had brought from his room choosing a song while with the other hand rearranging stuff on the counter. Zayn is attempting to put the sheets on the bed but failing terribly because the sheets keep smacking him in the face as he throws them in the arm to spread. Harry and Louis are by each other doing lord knows what and they are the ones that aren't cleaning when this is their room. Actually, most of this mess belongs to Louis, he's the messy one of us and just throws all of his things everywhere. I don't know how Harry and Eleanor stand it because I can't even and I'm a tad messy myself.

I look over to the clock and see that it says eleven thirty, the usual time that I wake up or would prefer. I look at the area that I was given to clean and see that it is totally spotless so I go to sit on one of the beds that's already made. I stare off into space thinking about what we might do today with this girl. I'm really surprised that she wasn't totally freaked out by who we are last night and that it was her sister that had to tell her who we were, not a lot of girls are like that and quite honestly it was cool not to have someone screaming in my face. I love my fans really but it's nice to have a girl who will have an actual conversation with you and it doesn't hurt that she was actually beautiful. I think of her delicate and small features from her hair that looked cotton soft to her piercing green eyes that made my body warm to look into them.

While thinking of this I feel the bed shake just a little and look towards the sides to see if one of the boys is shaking it but no one's at either end. I look around to see if anything can even be making that sound and then I see a cellphone. I look at it and it looks unfamiliar and so does the number but I decide to pick it up.

“Hello?” I ask into the speaker. I hear laughter in the background that is turning into a set of giggles. I wait for the person on the other line to respond deciding not to hang up.

“Yeah hi, I'm with Ally right now,” An unfamiliar voice speaks into it while the laughter continues. I put two and two together and put the laughter with Ally. So she's the one giggling like a maniac but who is this person on the other line, a friend probably. I try to act casual, “Ally the girl that was at the concert last night and got knocked out by my idiot friend Harry, that Ally?” I smile to myself at how smoothly I said that but then I feel the bed shift next to me and see that Harry is sitting there with a questioning look as to why his name was mentioned. I just hold my finger up saying just a second and continue the conversation with this stranger.

“Yep that one, yep, yep. Well it seems the idiot she is forgot the room number and I also believe we are a tad lost after the stunt she just pulled so uhm” The girl says into it. The laughter is still going on and I can imagine this girl just looking at Ally like she's a loon and rolling her eyes. I wonder what kind of stunt she pulled, I'll have to ask once they get here.

Suddenly the phone is pulled from my hand and Harry is speaking into the phone, “Hey this is Harry, how about some of us just come and find you. Just tell us where you are love?” He must have been listening in to the conversation. I sigh as I can't hear the girl talking anymore or Ally's cute giggles. Harry waits in response to the girl and then says, “Great, we'll be by soon babe.”

He hangs up the phone then looks over to me smiling. “Well mate, how about we go find those two girls, huh?” I nod in agreement and we start to walk to the door.

“And where do you think you two are going?” Liam gives us a fatherly look. He's always been looking out for us, especially Harry with how much mischief Louis gets him into. We both roll our eyes at the same time but I'm the first to speak, “Don't worry Li we'll go get Paul or something before we leave, he is just next door remember?” Last night Paul had gave us a big speak about how we actually have to bring at least one security guard with us at all times. He ended up wrapping the whole thing up saying he's just next door and to knock if we needed them.

That got a chuckle out of the boys except Liam who just looked at me and nodded. Harry sauntered over to Liam while slinging an arm over his shoulders and giving one of his world famous cheeky grins. “Ah don't worry Liam we won't get into that much trouble.” Liam just smiled at him and pushed him away in a friendly manner while walking over to the balcony.

“Alright see ya soon Hazza and Nialler,” He called off while walking outside to keep Zayn company outside. We waved like he could actually see us and then looked went to the door.

Once outside of the room we turned to each other with a grin on our face and a sparkle in our eye. “So, we totally don't need Paul for this. It's just a little teeny tiny incognito mission to save two girls from being lost. That's all nothing else, right?” Harry said trying to make what we are doing sound totally innocent. The only reason Paul wanted us to have a body guard around at all times was to just keep us away from the fans mostly and to not get killed. We can handle it though and plus we love our fans...so a little stop by won't hurt us that much.

“Paul is going to kill us later, but first pick up the girls?” I ask Harry. He nods and we walk down the hallway about to have the time of our lives.

Ally's P.O.V

We had been waiting in the hallway for about fifteen minutes now. We know this because Zooey checked her phone almost every minute and was getting jittery waiting. She hated sitting down for long hours and that's why she went to a drama school. She didn't inherit the drawing or sculpting skills that her parents possessed but she did find that she can act pretty well. She was lead in almost all of her school's plays and musicals, while I always offered to help backstage somewhere to try and support her nerves back there.

I can see her hands starting to twitch around as she stares at the wall probably counting how many dotted lines there were. I have to say I was getting quite bored too at the moment so I tried to think of anything at all that can possibly pass the time. An idea pops into my mind and I stand up. Zooey looks at me, questioning why I even moved and then just goes back to the wall.

I smile down at her then reach my arm our and touch the top of her head, “Tag you're it!” I yell it as I bolt down the hallway trying to avoid food platters that were left out. I take a little glance behind me as I am running. Zooey just sits there for a minute looking at me as if I am crazy but then decides that there's nothing better to do so she takes on of her famous sighs in and stands up. I laugh as I run and round the corner and taking a bunch of twists and turns as I try and lose her. Before I know it I have gotten myself lost in this hotel by myself. Great.

I look at where I am according to room numbers and have found that I am very far from where we started. I take an deep breath in and kick at the ground thinking now of how stupid that idea was. Zooey's probably calling out my name wondering where I ran off too and then those boys are probably searching for us too. Great going Ally. I hear a door open up and disregard it as just being another old man in a suit again. I lean up against the wall and go back to me and Zooey's greatest past time here by counting the dotted lines on the walls. As I get near a hundred and person is in my way and I take a glance up to him. He's handsome looking with auburn hair that is tossed up but still looks natural and like bed head. His eyes are a dull brown at first but then I look closer and see that there are golden specks in them making them look warm and homey. He has a very defined chin that is angular and a bit of facial scruff is on his face that makes him look slightly older than me. He's staring at me like he's about to ask a question but instead I ask ruder than I wanted to, “May I help you?”

He looks slightly taken aback because I addressed him first but shakes it off, “Actually, May I help you? I just came out of my room a minute ago and saw a beautiful girl standing out here by herself looking rather lost if I have to say, so what's your name gorgeous?” He adds a sweet smile towards the end of it and I just give him a curious glance over estimating him and what he actually wants. “Ally,” I finally let out.

“What a beautiful name for a beautiful girl,” He takes a little step closer as he lifts out his right hand. “James, Jem for short actually, but not that James isn't short enough,” That brings out a small giggle from me. “So what are you doing out here by yourself and looking lost?” He looks actually sincere so I give up because I could actually use a little help right now.

“Well I came here with my friend looking for our friends room but see silly me forgot the number. Then we called and they said they'll just come and find us but we were dying of boredom so we started a game of tag then I ended up running and got lost and now I can't find either party of friends,” I look him in the eyes. He seems to give me a once over taking in my whole body and features and suddenly I feel a little exposed even though I'm wearing jeans.

“And how old are you Ally?” He puts a little husk into the question. “Seventeen, why?” I ask while squinting my eyes. “Oh just wondering, well how about me being the good guy I am help you find your friends?” He ask.

I stare hardly at him as if expecting him to just jump on me and take me into his room. I guess he knows what I am thinking and says instantly, “I promise I will not touch or harm you in any way or form, I am just a guy who wishes to help a pretty girl out today, alright?” He holds his hands up and shrugs his shoulders. His smile is brilliant. I just nod as I don't see anyone else taking the offer to help me and don't see Zooey or those boys to find me anytime soon. He starts off and I follow closely behind as we go to search for anyone.

Zooey's P.O.V

I have been running up and down hallways for about ten minutes now and have not even found a trace of Al. She's gone completely missing in action and to be honest this kind of scares me because she's not one to trust people immediately which to me means someone grabbed her.

Ally is the only person that I will ever freak out over anytime soon. I take my phone out expecting to see a couple of text messages from her asking where I was but I remember that her phone is what we came here for. I go to her phone number and press dial hoping that one of them still have it on them. It rings a few times and then someone answers it, “Vaaas Happenin?” A British voice yells into it. I know it by heart, Zayn Malik is on the phone with me. To be honest he is my favourite out of the whole band but Ally and Rachel or anyone else will never know that, especially now.

“Uhm, hey. Yeah this is Zooey, Ally's friend. I came here today with her and we got lost trying to find your room number which turned out she forgot. Well we ended up playing tag and I can't find the devil because she ran off too fast. I was just wondering if you guys are with her or know where she is or something?” I fumble around my words at some points from nerves of talking to Zayn and for the fact that I can't find Ally. I instantly get an answer, “No babe, Niall and Harry went out to get you guys about twenty minutes ago, we just thought they were trying to impress you guys or something. Well I'll go call Niall or something and see if they found her. In the meantime love, where are you? Liam, Louis, and I will come to get you, just stay put love,” He says into the phone and hangs up. If I wasn't so nervous I would probably be freaking out that Zayn called me love and babe but Ally was missing. I sat down to wait for the boys to come pick me up.

Oh what a lovely way of my first time meeting One Direction. Ally goes missing, I'm freaking out, and it's only twelve in the afternoon. I think to myself. I sigh as I go back to what I was doing before counting the dotted lines and just waiting. Safe and put they'll find me eventually and we'll find Ally then. Count now Zo, One, Two, Three, Four...

Harry's P.O.V

“We've been looking for these girls forever!” I whine as we continue to walk the hallways of this rather tiny hotel trying to find them. We went to the exact door they said they were by and by the time we got there the whole damn hallway was empty. Not a single person in it. We shrugged it off since we did take our time getting there because we got swarmed by a group of girls wanting to take a quick picture and autograph so we just guessed they ended up walking off somewhere searching for us. We've been up and down each hallway at least twice and have yet to find one of them. I really don't know how they are managing hiding from us in this building. It's only a building and unless they left I really find it hard to imagine that they are on this floor.

Prrrrrft.

“Oh bloody hell Niall! Now is not the time to fart man, couldn't you have held it in or tried to make it less noisy mate?” I ask him. He just has a cheeky smile on and say, “Nope, I had to fart so I let it out. No harm in that.” I just shake my head as I take out my phone which started to ring while he was talking.

“Hello?” I call into the phone. I didn't even bother to look at the caller id since I was still smiling at Niall and what he just said. “Hey, Hazza. I have a quick question, are you with Ally or in any way seen her mate?” Liam asks me. I find this a funny question and just say, “No mate, bloody hell we've been searching for those damn girls forever. Gone up and down the hallways at least twice and nothing, why?” I ask in my slow demeanor. I just hear a muffled voice in the background and them Liam covering the phone to talk to the person who sounded female. I look over to see what Niall is doing and see he's doing a smaller version of his Irish jig and accidentally kicking over some of the plates next to the door as he does. I just put my thumbs up at him and smile into the phone waiting for a response.

Finally Liam pulls his hand away and says, “Shit Harry, I'm with her friend Zooey right now and she lost her. We haven't been able to find her either.” I tense up at what he just said. I only met her last night but she seemed like a good laugh and person. It'd be horrible if anything happened to her. Niall looks over as if he saw my shoulders get a little more square and walk over with a questioning look on his face.

“Alright, Liam we'll keep searching and let you guys know if we find her, bye,” I call off to the phone. Niall picks up on my tense attitude and probably figures things out on his own because he asks, “So should we look on another floor or what?” I just nod and round the corner hoping she wasn't too far.

To my surprise though she isn't, she's actually just down the hall from us walking away with some guy. She seems to be giggling at what he is saying and talking to him. I look over to Niall and he nods knowing my plan of action already. Time to put it into play.

Ally's P.O.V

I guess I had my guesses wrong about Jem, he actually wasn't that bad of a guy. He was actually really funny and good to talk to.

“So you actually went to the concert with your sister...?” He looks as if he's searching for her name.

“Rachel yeah. I'm not really into that music but she begged and she's my little sister and all. Anyway I went and went to the bathroom,” I think of a way to avoid that it was indeed the men's bathroom. “Then this guy swung the door open hitting me in the head making me almost pass out. So he took me to this room and I passed out right there,” He looks really interested in this story. “So when I woke up I decided that I should just wait and see where I was, plus it didn't hurt that they had food and that I couldn't find my purse. So when they came in I was really confused why they seemed like they belonged there. Well they went to go get my sister since I still couldn't stand and when she came back she practically killed me telling me that they were One Direction. Anyway she hit me in the head while dancing, she's a spazz I know, but when I woke up I noticed the time and we had to leave,” He gave a small laugh when I mentioned my sister. “Well when I woke up my lovely sister gave me here phone and apparently it was them on my phone telling me the only way to get it back was to hang out with them today. Look where that got me,” I give a small laugh while looking over to him and smiling.

He's giving me a wonderful smile back while his eyes crinkle, “Yes look where that got you. It seems that the odds are in my favor today.” I just laugh that comment off and continue to walk. “Anyway, so are you going to hang out with them or what? What's your game plan for today?” He asks me honestly curious. I think to myself what my actual plan for today is. Originally I just planned to get my phone and walk out and back home or something but now that Zooey is with me that might not be totally possible. I sigh and just say, “Honestly, I don't even know. I was just going to come her and get my phone. Then go home or something but my friend got mad at me when I told her my plan and now I just don't know.”

“Allison, you were just going to ditch us like that!” A voice calls behind me. I look back and see a curly mop of brown hair and a tousled blond walking towards us. Harry and Niall I think to myself. Well it's good that I finally found them but I blush at the plan they just head. Laughter bubbles next to me and I look over to see Jem silently chuckling to himself. Well my disasters are at least hilarious to him. As Harry and Niall walk closer to us they both look at Jem and then at each other passing glances that only they understand.

“No, of course not! I promised I was going to hang out with you guys and I will, definitely,” I call off to them. This just causes Jem to laugh even more and it makes his shoulders shake. I smile and then look at Niall and Harry's curious glances at him. “Guys this is Jem, he helped me while I got myself lost. Jem this is Harry the one who knocked me out and Niall,” I introduce them.

“Nice to meet you mate,” Both Niall and Harry mumble to him. He's starting to stop laughing and then gracefully says, “Very nice to meet you too, so how long are you guys going to be here for?” I wonder that too, hoping that it might be soon because I have a feeling bothering me might be a ritual for them if they stay long enough. It's just a feeling I have at least.

“About two weeks, signing and stuff around here and then a couple of more gigs at some small arenas. Nothing too big,” Niall says. “So what are you doing here, hm?” He also asks. I wonder that too, within our conversation we didn't really talk much about him, only me. “Ah, visiting family around here. I'm supposed to leave in two days, although I think I might stay here for a little while longer,” He says while looking over to me. I just smile because I can imagine him as a very good friend here. Meanwhile the boys are just staring at him and Harry's eye seems to be twitching a little bit but they still have smiles on their faces. It's a bit creepy if you ask me.

Harry takes a hold of my hand and tries to pull me away as he says, “Well it was nice meeting you mate, but we really have to go. Important things to do and all.” He pulls me an inch away when Jem asks, “Wait, I was actually just about to leave here before I helped Ally out. So is it alright if I can borrow a phone real quick, please?” He looks over to the boys and Niall takes his phone out his pocket and practically throws it at him. I don't know why Jem was really polite about asking to borrow it. He dials a number then talks into the phone telling the address and everything. Then, he gives the phone back to Niall who has his jaw set.

“Thank you so much,” He says and takes a step closer to me. “It was very nice meeting you Ally, I'll see you around soon then,” He then pulls me into a hug then walks away while waving at the boys.

I smile and then look over at Harry and Niall. Niall's face has gone red and his eyes have squinted while staring at Jem walking away. Meanwhile Harry is just shaking his head then says, “That guy was a major creep. Didn't your mom tell you anything about talking to strange men?”

I just laugh hysterically at how hypocritical he sounds. When we first met yesterday he was a complete stranger and now he is acting like he's Zooey looking out for me. They just look at me like I am the strangest girl in the world. “Nothing, let's just go and do whatever we are going to do today, alright?” I say answering their questioning looks. They just nod and I feel like I have just made the biggest mistake of my life by hanging out with them. I'm not sure who's going to kill the other first. Zooey killing me for disappearing or me killing her for making me hang out with them. Oh well, might as well have fun with it I think as I pull Niall's hood over his head and skip off slowly. Today should be interesting.
