You should take it as a compliment that I got drunk and made fun of the way you talk.

One drink. They were only supposed to come out for one drink. Especially since they had a lecture first ting in the morning. But, things never worked out like that. Not when Rose was involved. Lissa snorted with laughter pulling her friend up. Rose sniggered.

“Turns out I couldn’t make that jump,” she pointed out. Lissa rolled her eyes and glanced at her best friend, her face filled with exasperation.

“Yeah, I noticed. Come on. Let’s get to the bar,” she muttered, leading Rose to the seats. Rose laughed and shook her head.

“I’m fine,” she said. Lissa shook her head and gestured at the barman.

“I’ll get us help. Stay still. Please!” she begged. Rose sighed, leaning back in the chair and staring at her foot. It barely even hurt. Lissa came back, two men at her side. She smiled brightly at Rose.

“Rose look, it’s Christian,” she said brightly. Rose pursed her lips; of course. Lissa’s boyfriend. She moved her eyes to glance at the man standing next to them. She hadn’t seen him before. Because…if she had she knew she would remember. Rose moved to stand up and Lissa let out a shriek, pinning her down.

“Rose, come on. You need to let us have a look at your foot,” she said softly. “This is Dimitri,” she said, gesturing at Dimitri. “Dimitri knows first aid,” she said brightly. Rose glanced at Lissa and arched an eyebrow.

“Should I give him a sticker?” she said sarcastically. Dimitri shook his head.

“No sticker needed. But, your foot might help,” he said, his accent was thick…and the sound of it made Rose’s heart race. So, she did the only thing that she knew how to. She ripped the piss out of it.

“Your foot might help,” she mimicked. Dimitri raised an eyebrow, gesturing at her foot. Rose rolled her eyes. and crouching down beside her. She licked her lower lip and extended her foot, staring at him.  He was attractive. Incredibly so. Rose sighed and glanced at him, watching as his fingers skimmed her ankle. He frowned when she winced and shook his head.

“I think you’ve just sprained it. But, no more gymnastics for tonight,” he teased. Rose licked her lips and moved to stand up. Dimitri shook his head, picking her up.

“Don’t put unnecessary strain on it,” he said, placing her back on the seat. Rose shrugged taking another sip of her drink.

You should think about the consequence of your magnetic field being a little too strong.

She still hadn’t gotten used to it. Being in his company all the time. It was frustrating to see how well he got on with everyone. It was especially frustrating to see the effect he had on the girls in the bar. Dimitri’s laugh snapped her out of her daydream and she forced a smile, glancing and Lissa who gestured at the dancefloor.

“Come on Rose! Dance with me,” she pleaded. Rose shook her head and gestured behind her.

“Adrian should be here soon. I’ll dance soon,” she promised. Dimitri rolled his eyes and shook his head.

“Disappointing, Roza,” he said pointedly. Rose felt herself flush at the sound of her name rolling off his lips. She shook her head to focus, glancing at Christian sheepishly when she realized she had accidentally ignored him. She nodded in response to his question. He laughed.

“Usual then?” he asked, gesturing at the bar. Rose nodded absentmindedly glancing at Dimitri who was dancing on the dancefloor with Lissa. The pair looked like they were enjoying themselves. The thing that was getting to her was the way that the other girls in the crowd were looking at him. Granted, she was doing the same thing. But, she couldn’t help the pang of jealousy that shot down her spine. She jumped when a hand wrapped around her waist and a kiss was pressed against her head. She smiled up at Adrian who gave her an amused look.

“Distracted?” he asked. Rose nodded and smiled at him.

“I was wondering when you’d get here,” she said, taking his hand and making her way to the dance floor. She could feel his eyes on her. She laughed, resting her hand on Adrian’s arm and casting a glance back at Dimitri and Lissa. She noticed the tightening of Dimitri’s jaw and she smirked, turning to face Adrian. She wrapped her hands around his neck, feeling the hot glare against her back.

You should take it as a compliment that I’m talking to everyone here but you, and you should think about the consequence of touching my hand in a darkened room

It wasn’t that she was actively avoiding him. But, she had strategically placed herself at the opposite end of the table in order to minimize their conversations. Because any time they ended up talking to each other she ended up embarrassing herself. He was the only person who made her stumble over her words. And she fucking hated it. She hated that anyone had that sort of power over her. She wasn’t some stupid lovestruck teenager. She was an adult. Yet, Dimitri always reduced her to a pining idiot. So, she had talked to everyone but him. She had tried to avoid any and all conversations with him. She sighed, scowling at her drink and taking a large sip.

“Rough week?” he drawled, staring across the table at her. Somehow, during her inner monologue he had managed to swap seats with Christian. Rose shrugged and cleared her throat.

“It was fine,” she said crisply, turning to face the table, her cheeks flushed. Dimitri arched an eyebrow and gestured at the table.

“I notice that Adrian is missing. You two okay?” he asked. Rose almost choked on her drink. She cleared her throat and shrugged.

“Fine I suppose. We broke up,” she said shrugging and forcing a bright smile. Dimitri ran his eyes over her and frowned.

“Are you okay?” he asked. Rose opened her mouth to comment and caught sight of Adrian on the dancefloor. She closed her mouth and raised her eyebrows, gesturing behind them. Dimitri placed his hand on hers, giving her a light reassuring squeeze. It was an action that shouldn’t have had any effect. But, it did. Oh God, it did. She flushed, thankful that they were in a corner booth. She caught Lissa’s eyes across the table and shook her head when Lissa wiggled her eyebrows at her. Rose glanced at Dimitri and glanced at the dancefloor.

“Why aren’t you out there dancing? Don’t they play music like this in Siberia?” she asked. Dimitri rolled his eyes, shoving her. Rose sucked her lower lip between her teeth. Screwed. She was so incredibly screwed.

If you got a girlfriend I’m jealous of her (But if you’re single it’s honestly worse)

Rose had always liked Christian’s Aunt Tasha. She has always thought that she was an amazing woman. Hell, she all but worshipped the ground the woman worked on. But, right now. Rose would have liked nothing better than to stab Tasha’s eyes out. She had to sit through Tasha and Dimitri’s completely obvious chemistry.

The pair of them had sat in the corner reminiscing about their past. All their fun, shared stories. Private jokes. It infuriated Rose, more than it should have. Especially since Tasha kept flipping that long dark hair over her shoulder. Rose had spent the past five minutes imagining cutting all of that beautiful dark hair off. See how attractive Dimitri found her with no hair. Rose groaned when an elbow collided with her side and she looked up at Lissa who was staring at her expectantly. She smiled.

“Sorry Liss, I spaced out,” she said brightly. Lissa gestured at Tasha.

“Tasha was offering to take you clothes shopping,” she said, giving Rose a pointed look. Rose pulled a face and shook her head.

“Thanks, but no thanks, I’m not that desperate,” she said coldly. Lissa gasped, slapping Rose’s arm. Tasha blinked in surprise. Rose pushed her seat out from the table and gave a tight smile.

“Excuse me,” she said, rolling her eyes and heading outside. She made her way to the roof and took out a cigarette. Lounging against the wall and staring out at the city, she lit the cigarette and took a draw. She yelped in surprise when a hand appeared in front of her face, pinching the front of the cigarette to put it out.

“What the hell are you doing?” Dimitri asked, swiping the cigarette from her mouth and throwing it into the bin beside them. Rose shook her head and stared at him.

“Come to shout at me for offending your girlfriend?” she asked, crossing her arms over her chest. Dimitri pursed his lips and shook his head.

“I came to see if you were okay,” he said sharply. Rose scoffed and gestured at the bin.

“I’d have been if you left me in peace,” she muttered, taking out another cigarette. Dimitri grabbed the box from her, snatching the one in her hand off of her.

“Give those back!” she demanded. Dimitri shook his head.

“You’re not getting them back! I’m not going to stand here and watch you smoke yourself into an early grave,” he snapped. Rose rolled her eyes and pushed past them.

“Then give me the cigarettes and go back downstairs,” she hissed. Dimitri shook his head and threw the cigarettes into the trash can.

“What is your problem today?” he asked, shoving his hands into his pockets. Rose rolled her eyes and gestured at him.

“You are,” she snapped, gesturing at him. Dimitri raised his eyebrows and leaned back against the wall behind him.

“Oh?” he asked. Rose shook her head and waved her hands in the air.

“You’re so infuriating! You’ve spent weeks talking to me and suddenly Tasha comes here and I’m pushed to the side? I don’t want to play fifth wheel to two couples. If you want to flirt with your girlfriend do it on your own time,” she sneered.

“She’s not my girlfriend,” Dimitri pointed out. But, it didn’t matter Rose was already on a rant.

“I mean. Sitting curled up in the corner? No one wants to see that,” she snapped. Dimitri scoffed and glanced at her.

“So, it’s okay for you to flaunt people in front of me? Fine for you to flirt with everyone but me?” he countered. Rose pursed her lips and shook her head. How else was she supposed to take her mind off of him?

“Tasha and I are just friends. There’s no reason to be jealous,” he said pointedly. Rose glanced at him out of the corner of her eyes.

“What makes you think I’m jealous?” she asked. Dimitri chuckled, moving past her. He paused, his breath tickling her neck as he bent down to whisper in her ear.

“Because it’s how I felt when I thought you were still with Adrian,” he whispered. Rose closed her eyes, taking a deep breath and trying to ignore the rapid increase in her heart rate.

I feel like I might sink and drown and die

She hadn’t been able to focus on anything but him. Every time they were together she kept thinking about their conversation on the roof. But, it seemed like since then he seemed to be half avoiding her. Which worked out well because she was still trying to avoid him.

It was ridiculous that he had this sort of effect on her. Every time they spoke to each other it seemed like she fucked up and embarrassed herself. For some reason, she couldn’t act normal. But, then again. Neither did he. Everything had been so weird between them both since their chat on the roof. She sighed, staring out at the city from the roof. She ran her hand over the packet of cigarettes in her pocket. She had been trying to quit for weeks. Ever since Dimitri had gotten rid of her packet. It wasn’t because of him, obviously. She sighed, leaning back against the wall.

“Don’t even think about it,” Dimitri warned, stepping around the corner. Rose jumped and turned to face him.

“When did you get here?” she asked. He laughed.

“I just got here. Lissa told me I might find you up here,” he said softly. Rose smirked, giving him a cocky look.

“Looking for me?” she teased. Dimitri rolled his eyes, leaning on the bannister and staring out at the city.

“Making sure you aren’t getting up to mischief,” he deadpanned. Rose leaned against the bannister beside him and gestured out at the city.

“I like to come here to think,” she said softly. Dimitri laughed. It was a genuine laugh that had her stomach twisting in a knot.

“What a shit excuse to take up smoking,” he said pointedly. Rose elbowed him and shook her head.

“Shut up,” she demanded. Dimitri turned to face her and smirked.

“Make me,” he said, his voice taking on a challenging edge. The challenge sparked between them. Rose licked her lower lip and raised an eyebrow.

“How would you recommend I do that?” she asked, looking at him from under her eyelashes. Dimitri scanned her face and cocked his head to the side.

“I’m sure you could think of a few ways,” he said, before flushing slightly. Rose bit her lower lip and took a step towards him. Dimitri took a step forward at the same time and there was an awkward clash of teeth. Rose flushed, taking a large step back, mortification written across her face. Dimitri brought his hands to her face, one moving to wrap in her hair. She let out a small gasp of surprise when he tugged her towards him. Dimitri looked into her eyes before bringing his mouth down against hers. She let out a low groan, wrapping her arms around his neck. She gasped when she felt a small nip at her lower lip. She felt her back connect with the wall behind her and she smirked.

Dimitri brought his hand against the nape of her neck, tangling it in her hair and tugging lightly. Rose pulled back, breathing heavily. She expected him to pull back suddenly, to disappear on her. What she wasn’t expecting was for him to press an open mouthed kiss to the crook of her neck while muttering “прекрасный”. Gorgeous. His accent drove her wild. She turned his mouth, capturing his mouth in another heated kiss. They were interrupted by a very obnoxious clearing of the throat. They sprang apart, chests heaving. They glanced towards the door to see a highly amused Christian staring at them both.

“Are you two about done?” he drawled, giving them a pointed look. Dimitri rolled his eyes, shoving Christian and following after him. Rose sighed. Here we go again, she thought. Dimitri turned to face her and rolled his eyes, grabbing her hand and pulling her with them.

“For the record. We aren’t done,” Dimitri whispered.

We were just fans!

Wow! Its been so long since we have updated and I apologize for that. Alice just needs to get a laptop charger and so hopefully before the end of September we will have a new chapter up! 

[aftersunsetfanfic]

Chapter One

 Jade’s P.O.V

I looked at Eva and even though we lived through these events three years earlier, she looked as scared as the first time. I knew our dads were going to die tonight and there was nothing we could do about it.

I got up and ran to the panic room.

"Eva go clean out the safe" she nodded. I did that for two reasons; the first is that I wanted to spare her as much of this as possible and the second is that it would save us some time.

I watched the scene that changed my life forever, my dad and uncle being shot. My dad blinking at the camera to give me the same Morse code he had given me years ago and the men leaving.

the men left when they couldn't find what they were looking for. We waited a bit before going down stairs to see our dads once last time. I reached my dad and saw he was still breathing. I looked over at my uncle and he was holding Eva’s hand. I let them have their moment. 

"Daddy!!" 

That's all I could say? I lived this moment already and i couldn't manage more then sounding like a lost child. Tears were threatened. They assembled at the back of my eyes ready to come down but I wouldn't let them fall

'I can't fix this sweetheart. I may have deserved this. But I didn't want you to see it. I love you. Always remember that'. He was fading and I saw that 

'I love you too daddy. What's my moms name?" I touched his face and he smiled. He closed his eyes and before he could answer took his last breath. Eva's cry was heart wrenching and it told me that my uncle had died too.  

 I Went to my room to change- we both threw on some sweats and long sleeve turtlenecks, sneakers and beanies all in black. 

"We have get out of here before those men come back! They came back within five minutes last time" Eva nodded and no sooner than we went down stairs to head out the back door, did the front door bust open and those same men came running inside. they were talking in french but not proper french. It was broken. i took out my phone and recorded them. That will help us get some answers. they went running up the stairs and I remembered the underground escape route. 

Our hands interlocked, as we both tossed the duffle bags over our shoulder. Eva was trembling  in my hand...we both were. 

"We’ll be fine.... let’s go" I whispered while we rushed out.

She and I bolted out the back door. I lead the way to the garage, instead of taking the car like Eva thought. I turned a latch and one of my dad’s shelved opened up. 

"I'm pretty sure they watching the house". 

"Your pretty good at this spy shit" "Shut up" I said nudging her with my hip.

The tunnel lead us to the car my dad always parked by the river banks. His explanation when I asked was you never know.

We got in the car and drove as far away from everything we knew once again. Hope we get it right this time.  I knew the fire would start soon, I didn't want to look but i did. I saw the fire in the rear view and it hurt just as bad as the first time it happened. Eva closed her eyes. I knew what she was thinking, she let me read her. We both knew the guys poured gas in the living room. I said a silent prayer for my dad and his best friend my uncle and kept driving. Eva leaned her head on the passenger window and cried silently as I drove. 

I let her get it out. Cause I was gonna need her thinking clearly if we were going to figure out who killed our dads. 

I learned my lesson before and knew best place to start was the picture with moms written behind it. I knew now they were our mothers, I got real close to finding out what happened to them before we were abducted. Now we have to start all over. 

"This time we go harder and move faster" Eva finally spoke and I nodded

"We need to change. I have a friend at the airport that can get us on a flight to Paris without checking our bags" I said 

"Yea. It would be hard to explain all that money" she said with a smirk.

"Eve... I'm not worried about the money. We have a bag full of guns" I said shaking my head.

"Oh yeah that" and we both started laughing.

The gravity of our situation wasn't lost on us. This time around would be different, this time we will shoot first and ask questions later.

  Laurents P.O.V

The party was crazy tonight.. I loved it. The music was in control of my body and the people in this party could now see why the people call me beast. Everything's I was doing was freestyle, I could just feel the music in my veins and I could feel my bruddah's  "chakra" behind me. I turned around, my back facing the crowd as my eyes met  my twin - my knees bent and my back lightly touched the dance floor. I strained to get back up, I don't think no one can tell from the yells and cheers but my twin could tell - he took a look at my expression and saw the bit of pain, I faced the people again and bend at the waist, i give them the peace sign and criminalz sign. My bruddah and I walk away from the people and sit down on these leath'a (leather) couches, his hand smacked at my shoulder. 

"Laurent vous devez être plus prudent. Vos genoux."

(Laurent you have to be more careful. Your knees)  His left hand brushed over my knees, sometime Larry thinks he's older.

"Larry, je suis d'accord. Mes genoux ne donneront pas sur moi ce bientôt, nous sommes encore jeunes bro."

(Larry, I am okay. My knees won't give out on me this soon, we're still young bro.) He shook his head his twist shaking in different directions. 

" Larry, la nuit est encore jeune, tout comme nous sommes. Aller danser, je serai là dans quelques-uns."

( Larry, the night is still young just like we are. Go and dance, I'll be there in a few.) I place my right hand on his shoulder, on timing two slim pale skinned females stood in front of us. They were maybe groupies or fans, I didn't care, I have a girlfriend and I don't cheat but Larry, I could see the flame in his eyes as they traveled down both girls. I followed where his eyes stopped at and I was not shocked, right at their legs. 

"Bonjour, mon nom est Noemi et mon ami est cathy. Avez-vous deux soins à danser avec nous?"

(Hello, my name is Noemi and my friend here is Cathy. Do you two care to dance with us?) 

The pale girl name 'Noemi'  was clearly American and so was her friend 'Cathy'. These two should be at home, not trying to party and flirt with guys they don't know. Its dangerous, They were cute but dumb. 

Jade's POV

We've been in Paris for two days; Scoping, watching and plotting our next moves.  The more questions we asked, the less information we received. 

The more I thought about it, the more frustrated I became.

"Agghhhhh" I screamed at no one in particular. Eva opened the door to the bathroom to see what was up

"You ok?" 

I lifted the pillow from my face to look at her. She was standing in the bathroom doorway with a towel wrapped around her. 

"I'm fine but you been in there for over an hour" I didn't want to talk about what I was thinking. The fact that we were going nowhere fast.

"Ugh bitch, it takes time to look this good" she smiled and walked out the bathroom to start getting ready

"Yes..yes, I does take a long time to perpetrate the fraud"  I said and ducked just in time to miss the pillow she threw at my head

"I accentuate! I don't lie" she said and started laughing. I grabbed my towel and went to the bathroom.

I quickly stripped my clothes and stepped in the shower. I turned the cold water on and gritted my teeth as the water hit me. My body reacted instantly. Goosebumps formed immediately, my nipples got hard and I began to shiver.  The tears started again, I thought of my dad, my childhood and Eva. I let the water beat and batter my body until I couldn't take any more. I bent down and turned the dial for hot water. The heated water soothed me, I grabbed my loofah and shower gel and lathered up. The scent of Japanese cherry blossoms filled the room and it relaxed me.  I grabbed my cherry blossom shampoo and began to wash my hair, the suds were in my eyes when I felt a draft. I knew Eva had just walked in to the bathroom

"Why do you always wait until I'm in here to come and talk Eva?" I sighed dramatically but really didn't mind 

"I keep having these visions and I can't make heads or tails of them" she sounded scared.

I had stopped washing my hair and listened to what she had to say.

"I have to figure this out Jade or else people are going to die" 

"Who?" 

"I don't know. I can't make out their faces"

"What can you make out?"

"Afros"

I peeked out the shower curtain 

"What?!" 

She shrugged and walked out. I never questioned her 'gifts' and she never questioned mine.  Maybe a night out would do us both some good.

------------------------

"You would have looked so much better in the mini skirt I picked out Jade" Eva was still pissed I didn't wear the outfit she picked out

"My Bersa would show on my waist band"

"I don't know why you carry that thing when we could just slip back in time"

"Cause that shit hurts! Besides why go back in time when I can just shoot our way out?" I said smiling at her while we waited on line to get in.  

After about an hour, I slipped our names into the bouncers head and walked towards the back of the line asking for us

"Eva? Jade?" I smiled and walked up to him. Eva gave me an evil look but I knew she was glad that we were finally going inside.

As soon as we stepped foot inside the club my knees started hurting.  

"Fuck" I stopped to rub the back of my knees. It felt like the ligaments were stretching to the breaking point. 

"Let’s go to the dance floor something's going on" Eva was so excited I didn't want to tell her how much pain I was in so I nodded

There were strobe lights everywhere making it hard to see where we were going.   We worked our way to the middle of the dance floor when we saw these two guys killing it. My knees buckled when the one with the light brown Afro turned his back to the crowd, everyone pulled out their cameras and pressed record. He bent his knees and his back must have touched the dance floor.  I don't think anyone noticed how he struggled to get back up but I did. I tapped Eva and she nodded as we followed them off the dance floor.

We sat in the VIP section, out seat behind them as we listened to their conversation 

"Laurent vous devez être plus prudent. Vos genoux."

(Laurent you have to be more careful. Your knees)

"Larry, je suis d'accord. Mes genoux ne donneront pas sur moi ce bientôt, nous sommes encore jeunes bro."

(Larry, I am okay. My knees won't give out on me this soon, we're still young bro.) 

" Larry, la nuit est encore jeune, tout comme nous sommes. Aller danser, je serai là dans quelques-uns."

(Larry, the night is still young just like we are. Go and dance, I'll be there in a few.) 

When the girls arrived to introduce themselves, I got blinded by the lustful thoughts going on in Larry's mind. The positions that flashed in his head made me blush. I slipped an image of genital warts in his mind and I heard him gasp.

Laurent headed to the bathroom and I got up to follow 

"I gotta easy his pain" I whispered to Eva and she nodded but she seemed distracted.

I saw Laurent go into the men's bathroom. I smirked when I picked up on his thoughts

"I have a girlfriend, I love my girlfriend" he repeated that over and over.

Several guys walked out of the bathroom, some attempted to approach but repelled them with thoughts of their wives or girlfriends in bed with another man. Most of them ran out the club.

When Laurent finally walked out, I gasped and immediately started chewing on my bottom lip. The lighting on the dance floor was too dark to do him justice.

He was, Perfect. With Brown hair, rich brown eyes, Lips that looked so soft and - His thoughts barreled into my head

"I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND AND"

"You love her very much" I finished his thought for him.

"What?" He looked confused and scared "how did she know what I was thinking? "Shit I forget not everyone does that.

"You have a girlfriend and you love her very much. You were saying that to yourself when I was heading to the bathroom" I came up with the best excuse as to why I knew what he was thinking

"I was?"

"You were” I didn't know how to explain what I wanted to do next so I went with the truth. 

“Ummm.. This is gonna sound strange"

He smiled relaxing a little believing he had spoken his mantra out loud

"No strange"

"My mom was a healer and I can help you with your knees" Another lie but I needed to help him

Laurent stood up straight and started to walk pass me when I grabbed his arm. I felt a jolt of electricity run through me but I ignored it. I had to help him. His brother's concern overwhelmed me and the fact that I felt his pain was beginning to worry me.

He looked down at my hand on his arm and shrugged it off. I can't even remember the last time a man brushed me off but I do remember that it never hurt me before. So why did that hurt?

I hate when people are stubborn, I could probably try to 'encourage him' to trust me but the way he shrugged my hand off him upset me so I pulled out my Bersa and pointed it at him. His hands went up immediately and we stepped back in the bathroom. I locked the door and walked towards him

"Shit... Listen there's money in my wallet. You can have it and we can forget this ever happened"

"I don't want your money, Laurent"

"So what do you want?" He didn't seem scared more annoyed than anything else.

" Pull your pants down" I said concentrating so much on relieving the pain in his knees to relieve the pain in mine that I didn't see his smirk

"That all you want you can put the gun away. Your cute" he said licking his lips and I instantly sucked my lower lip into my mouth

"You have a girlfriend remember" I said squatting him front of him 

Laurent sucked his teeth in and I could see he was getting excited but he said

"Yea I do and I love her very much" and closed his eyes. I nodded even though he couldn't see me and inspected his knees

"You have a tear that just healed in your left knee. But you’re not resting and putting pressure on your right knee" I peered up at him and he looked down at me. 

"I can't rest. Everything is happening for me and my bruddah, I can't let him down" 

"I understand" I focused my energy on his knees and started to take his pain into myself. I imagined joint, the ligament surrounding it and started to heal them. 

"This will hurt but I promise it will feel better after" I said still concentrating on his knees

"What will it.. Aghhhhhhh" he screamed, grabbing my shoulder to keep from toppling over. I repeated the process on his right knee but this time he took the pain without a sound. The sheen of sweat on his forehead the only indication something was amiss, he was glowing. I smiled at my description and walked over to the sink soaking a paper towel in cool water, I walked over and wiped his face and put the cool paper towel at the base of his neck.

"Thank you"

I smiled and said "You’re welcome"

"I haven't feel this good since before I got hurt"

"You will feel even better tomorrow" I turned to walk away when he grabbed my hand and brushed his lips across my knuckles.

"Merci Belle" ( Thank you beautiful)

"No problem handsome" 

"You know French?" He said surprised at my response

"Enough to say thank you when someone calls me beautiful"  

He shrugs "It's the truth"

We walked out of the bathroom to a gathering crowd. I smirked at the hate filled glances from the women in the hallway and the guys looked at Laurent like he was a God to worship. 

I turned to Laurent, leaned my body close to his and brushed my lips across his jaw line. He looked down at me, I smiled and sashayed away. 

"Call me later Laurent, can't wait till next time" I said way too loud but those bitches had me amped 

"Okai Belle. I will call you” he said and one girl made the gagging sound. I spun on my heels and walked straight to her.

"We got a problem?" I asked and shifted my jacket for her to see the handle of my gun. When she saw it, I saw panics in her eyes and smiled.

"No.. No problem" American? I thought to myself.

"I didn't think so” and a walked back out towards VIP. Laurent was behind me, I could feel his presence.I reached VIP only to find Eva had a girl hemmed up. Larry I would assume? Was trying to pry her hands off the girl.

"She not worth it Belle. She is drunk"

"Eva let her go" I screamed and pulled Larry off Eva who relinquished her hold of the girl.

"What the fuck is so funny?" Eva asked Larry who was doubled over laughing

"What happened" I asked her ignoring the fact that he was laughing

"This ol’ monkey ass bitch tried to press me when HE tried to holla at me” she explained with her finger pointed at Larry 

"So?" I said looking at Larry 

"So?!! She threw a drink at me"

"Did it hit you?"

"No"

"And you caused a scene because of what might have happened?"

"She - I mean , They... Fuck.. - Yeah I cause a scene." She was sputtering. She turned to Larry and apologized. 

" I'm sorry. I've been itching for a good fight"

" Pas de problème, je suis Larry” (No problem. I'm Larry)

"Hi Larry, I'm Eva and this is my friend Jade we were just-"

"Leaving" I said and grabbed for the hand she offered to Larry for a handshake but he was quicker and took her hand and turned it around. He pulled out his phone to read the tattoo "Loyalty" on her wrist

" C'est gentil “ (That's nice)

Eva smiled like a little girl and said 

"Jade has one too" and they both turned to me expecting for me to show Larry my tattoo and I obliged them.

"Honesty" Larry's admiration for the tattoos was written on his face. I felt someone pull my wrist away from Larry's to inspect my tattoo for themselves. Who am I kidding? I knew it was Laurent. 

His phone out looking at my tattoo like Larry had but different. His fingers trace each letter making my pulse jump. 

We made eye contact and I knew he felt it.

I had to get away from all this. Clearing my throat I told Eva it was time to go. She reluctantly agreed. We walked away from VIP to the club exit; I didn't have to look to know that Laurent watched every step I took during my departure.  

Larry P.O.V

The girl Jade cleared her throat, leaning to her friend Eva's ears - she nodded her head and mouthed 'Okay'. Then they both walked away from VIP to club exit, I can tell Lau watched jade's figure with a questioning look.

" L'honnêteté et la loyauté hein Larry?"

( Honesty and loyalty huh Larry ?) I met his eyes. They were a mix of disbelief and hurt - laurent pulled up his right arm sleeve, i followed pulling up my left sleeve which showed our "Trust Nobody" Tatts. Those two really thought they could survive on 'Honesty' and 'Loyalty', they were delusional - We trust nobody. The moral of our life. We shared the same look as we both pushed our sleeves back down to our wrist. My bruddah took a seat beside me,i flinched when he sat up from leaning back, catching my attention.  

"Oh! Larry,cette fille jade guéri mes genoux"

( that girl jade healed my knees) I laugh at his weird outburst. 

"Laurent a fait une de ces filles glisser quelque chose dans votre eau?"

  ( Laurent did one of these girls slip something in your water?) My bruddah didn't like what I asked him but it was true, how can she heal his knees. One was torn in the left and the other was soon to give out which made me worry about him. 

" Je baise grave Larry. elle m'a dit de tirer mon pantalon vers le bas, au début, je pensais qu'elle voulait juste me donner de la tête mais ensuite j'ai pensé à ma fille. Une fois que j'ai refusé, elle a sorti un pistolet sur ​​moi, j'ai tiré vers le bas, puis elle posa ses mains sur mes deux genoux. Il y avait la douleur et puis plus aucune douleur après. "  

(  I'm fucking serious Larry. she told me to pull my pants   down , at first I thought she just wanted to give me head but then I thought about my girl. Once I denied, she pulled out a gun on me, I pulled it down and then she placed her hands on both of my knees. There was pain and then no more pain after.)

"Oui, un poussin fou ici glisser quelque chose dans votre boisson. Outre lau, elle n'avait pas l'air comme si elle avait aucune chaleur sur son" 

(Yeah, some crazy chick in here slip something in your drink. Besides lau, she didn't look like she had any heat on her)

"Alors expliquez-moi pourquoi Jade se retourna vers la jeune fille passer sa veste et la prochaine chose que vous savez la fille recula?"

(Then explain to me why Jade turned around to the girl shifting her jacket and next thing you know the girl backed away? )

 I stopped my laughing and finally listened to my twin. I saw that too. If what laurent tell me was true, then - "Cette salope a sorti une arme sur vous?"

(This bitch pulled a gun out on you?) I was mad now. My twin placed his hand on my shoulder, "Larry, is Okai (okay).... Im alive." He said in English.

"At-elle déjà vous donner son numéro?"

(Did she ever give you her number?) Lau shook his head no. I stood from the leath'a seats, gripping his wrist. 

"Lets go.." She fucked with the wrong person.

Eva's P.O.V

As soon as we walked out of the club, Jade sagged with relief on me. I looked down at her in shock.

"What's wrong?" I was running my hands over her face, trying to find out for myself

"Nothing... I healed Larry's brother. But I did it too fast. I had to take the pain out and now, my knees - how the fuck was he dancing on them?"  Jade rambled, sweat dotting her forehead.

"I can go back in time and stop you from helping him" she was shaking her head 'no' as I said this.

"You don't fucking know them!! How could you do that? Why would you?" I screamed at her

"I don't need a lecture now Eva! I need to heal myself" I nodded, pulling her into an alley near the club.  I pushed her against the wall gently and helped her take the heels off.

"I'm going to need your help when I'm done"

"Okay"

She bent down at the waist, hands palming the back of her knees. I've seen her do it before on me and countless other people but this was different. It was almost harder for her to heal herself.  She stood up suddenly and I could see her clothes were drenched. I went to grab her and singed my hands. 

"Fuck, your hot” I started shaking my hand to cool it off. My palms were red and I could see blisters forming.

I took my jacket off and grabbed her arm. I need to give her a cold bath

"We will be home soon okay?" I have never seen Jade so weak, she was the strong one,  the one that took care of all of us.

"Will the bath help?"

"I don't know Eveeee.. I don't know just get me home" she whined,we stepped out on the street and flagged a cab. I had this nagging feeling we were being followed but I had to take care of Jade.

I threw some bills at the driver and pulled her out of the cab. Throwing her arm over my shoulder, I dragged her into our building. I craned my neck once I heard a cab pull up but I wasn't overly concerned.

-------------------------------------

Once we reached the apartment - I placed Jade on the couch and hoped she didn't burn the furniture.  Turn the water on in the bath and added ice to it for good measure. 

I stripped her of all her clothes and sat her down in the tub.  The ice melted immediately and when I touched the water it was Luke warm. I decided adding more ice would help. I walked out the bathroom and dropped the bowl on the floor when I saw Larry and Laurent standing in the middle of our living room

I picked up the bowl and went to get more ice. They were in the same place when I filled the bowl and headed to the bathroom. I kept the door open cause I didn't want them to think I was up to something and added ice to Jade's bath. When I set the bowl on the sink I grabbed Jade's Bersa, slipping it in my waist band.

"Can I help you?"  I asked them and they looked at each other,  on the side of Laurent, Larry had spoken. "Where's your friend?"  The tone in his voice gave off  that he was pretty pissed.

"Your on private property and asking a lot of questions. I could kill you both and call it self defense" I didn't finish my statement before the three of us pulled are weapons out.  Both their guns pointed in my direction. My gun pointed at Larry.

"Looks like we have a problem" Laurent said sarcastically and smirked at me, slowly putting his gun away.  "I want to know what your friend did to me. Tha's it"

"I don't know what your talking about" I took my eyes off him for a second and that wasn't my first mistake of the night.  

Laurent grabbed my hand and pointed the gun at the ceiling. Larry joined the struggle and the gun was knocked out of my hand.

I stood there contemplating teleporting back five minutes but I needed to be sure Jade was safe. I couldn't leave her

"What now?" I asked looking at the two of them

"Who the fuck are you?" Larry's voice boomed and I heard water sloshing around in the tub. I knew Jade was up but I wasn't sure if she was up for a fight.

The three of us turn our attention to the bathroom door when I shadow blocked the light coming from inside.

Jade was leaning against the door frame naked with guns drawn, water dripping off her body.

"Please don't make me kill you Laurent. I used a lot of energy to help you" Jade said taking a deep breath and pushing herself off the door. 

"Give me your weapons and phone please" the boys did as I asked

"Have a seat" Jade motioned them to the couch with her guns. They did as they were told. I ran in her room and took out a wife beater, sweatpants and a towel.

Walking back into the living room, I found everyone in the same position. I dried her off as best I could and gave her the clothes I brought back from the room.  She gave me the guns as she got dressed. 

She took one of the guns from me and pointed it at the boys. She was tired so I started to speak.

"You were in that cab that pulled up after us?" I questioned, not expecting an answer.

"Oui" (yes) the both of them replied at the same time, like twins. 

"How did you know where to go?"

"We waited until the elevator stopped. You got off on this floor and your door was opened" Laurent answered and I could see Jade glaring at me out the corner of my eyes.

"Da!! You needed that bath and your heavy ass was leaning all on me" she nodded and spoke to them

"What do you want?"

"You pulled a gun on my bruddah"

She shrugged "Was the only I could get him to do what I say"

"You don't know who you messing with girl"

"You don't know who your fucking with Larry" I looked him dead in the eye.

We all stood up and glared at each other. 

"You need to leave" Jade said this directly to Laurent, who nodded and  his eyes were now glazed over, he turned around - heading towards the exit. I knew what she was doing and apparently so did Larry. He shoved her down and she broke the connection. Laurent stopped in his tracks, for a second he was in confusion but once he got back on track,  he paced back towards his brother.

I kicked him in the lower back and he toppled over on the coffee table breaking the legs. He jumped up, turned and grabbed me, flipping me on the couch. I planted my feet on his chest and pushed him off.  He fell over Jade and Larry who were wrestling on the floor with Larry having the upper hand. She grabbed his Afro and pushed him off her.  She jumped on his chest, her knees close to his throat. She was about to finish him off with a punch to the temple but she hesitated and Laurent launched himself on her. He pinned her arms over her head while I went in to attack Larry!!

"ENOUGH!!!" Jade screamed. We all halted our assaults. I'm pretty sure the picture we made looked like an orgy. I was straddling Larry, trying to pin his arms by his side with my knees. While his brother had my girl pinned beneath him. He was nestled between her legs and she was breathing heavy.

"I healed you. I felt you as soon as I walked into the club"

"How?" Laurent asked, his voice on the edge of becoming husky.

"I don't know" 

"Why?"

"Cause I felt your pain" 

Laurent let her go and I slid off of Larry. Below the waist, I had felt him hardening while I was straddling him..and I wasn't going to lie, It made me tingle down low.

"We leave" Laurent said as he got up and helped Jade up. Looking at the mess we made, they both went into their wallets but I stopped them.

"Keep your money" they nodded and walked out

Jade fell back on the couch.

"We pack tonight and go somewhere else. We can't stay here"

"Their in trouble Jade. People are after them"

"Are they the ones you talked about earlier?"

"Yes"

"They don't trust anyone" she said

"I don't care if they trust me! Whoever is after them can lead me to my mom" 

"How can anyone live life not trusting anybody?" Jade was in her own world 

"That shit is so contradictory. They clearly trust each other" I said 

"That’s true" jade said and yawned. "i think they mean don't trust anybody besides each other" I shrugged.  I was still thinking about the way Larry looked at me when Jade screamed stop.

"I need to sleep this off.  We can pack and leave in the morning. I don't want a finger print left" Jade got up 

I nodded; I really liked this apartment I hate burning these places down when we leave. I needed to stop thinking about this.

"They were cuuuuuteee" I said dragging out the word,She smiled and nodded at me.

"Laurent is beautiful"

"Larry is beautiful" 

We said at the same time and fell out laughing. How the hell are we picking one twin over the other?

"You don't like Larry cause he knocked your ass down" I said to her

"Nah, I don't not like Larry. I just like Laurent better" she said and shrugged "Plus he took his pants down while I was kneeling in front of him soo......" She wiggled her eyebrows at me while sticking her tongue into her cheek making a jerking motion with her hands.

"You’re so nasty" I said  And we laughed and headed off to our separate rooms.

Ele começa, bem devagar, era como se ele quisesse que você o acompanhasse nos movimentos. Você não aguenta, solta um gemido enquanto aperta seus dedos nas costas dele, fincando as unhas, dava para perceber que Louis tinha gostado daquilo, era uma ordem para que ele fosse mais rápido, ele foi.

Era a melhor sensação que você já tinha sentido; você queria mais, mais daquilo, mais do corpo dele, mais dele a cada momento; você apertou mais ainda seus corpos, ele foi com mais força e no mesmo instante você soltou o nome dele entredentes.  Louis volta a te beijar no pescoço deixando sua marca ali. Ele para, deita ao seu lado; vocês dois estão com a respiração acelerada; você queria mais dele, mas estava completamente esgotada.  Ele te puxa para perto, você deita no peito dele, você fica ali quieta, ouvindo os batimentos do coração dele; ele te dá um beijo na testa e fica brincando com seu cabelo. Vocês dois ali, sozinhos, foi o melhor dia que você tinha tido ao lado dele... Acabam dormindo o resto do dia.

Chapter 33 - Steadily Downhill

*A/N  Omg, hey it's Alice, so holy crap I know we have not updated in forever and I am sorry I know what it's like to want someone to update and then they don't update for months and we did that so sorry again! Hope you like the chapter, it's extra long! (: xx *

Dallas's POV

If you honestly think he's with you other than for a quick shag, you are in for a rude awakening. He would never love anyone as hideous as you.

Erin's words kept ringing in my mind as I glared at the air. Who was she to bitch at me like that? And what was her relationship with Niall?

 Bitch. 

"Excuse me, Ms. Johnson? What did you just say?" My math teacher Mrs. York asked.

Oh crap, did I just say that out loud?

 "Uhhmm, I said, itch. I have an itch." I scratched my scalp, in my loser attempt to cover up what I just said.

 "Principal's office! Now!" She commanded, pointing towards the door. 

I sighed, fighting the urge to roll my eyes at her, got up, and stalked towards the door. 

It's been two weeks since Rhylie, Alice and I have left London and I miss Niall sooo much. We just started our last year in high school and it's not off to the greatest start. Rhylie has been getting A LOT of hate. People recognized her right away from that picture with Liam in London.She's been kind of the school outcast, which doesn't exactly help with all of her insecurities. Alice has been trying to cheer Rhylie up so we haven't been spending much time together. Everything just seems to be steadily going downhill ever since London. 

The fact that I'm here, all the way in Canada in a tiny town, and Erin is half way across the world near Niall, doesn't exactly comfort me. Don't get me wrong, I trust him completely, but I do not trust Erin. We both make the effort to email, Skype, call, text and whatnot, which is nice, but I still feel insecure about the whole situation. 

I sighed. Whatever I guess. 

Rhylie's POV

"She's just not feeling well today and I could take her home and make sure she's okay."

 Alice was trying to convince the school secretary to let me leave and go home early today. Today has not been the best day. Actually most days have really sucked. 

30 minutes earlier 

Alice and I were walking down the hallway to French. Ever since I started getting picked on about Liam, Alice has been like my personal bodyguard and supporter. Dallas has been too bummed about Niall to really notice much. 

"Hey Rhylie." some random girl greeted from her locker. 

"Hi," I mumbled not meeting her eyes. 

"How's Liam?" the girl smirked.

"How about you mind your own business, whoever you are!" Alice shot back immediately. 

"My name is Christina, and I'm sure most of the other girls here would be happy to hear the secrets of One Direction," Christina said. We had stopped walking, and Alice was giving this girl her best death glare, which I can say is pretty scary. 

"So how about it Rhylie, what's Liam like? What about Louis, did you bed him too?" Christina said, sneering. 

Alice rolled her eyes, grabbed my arm, and dragged me in the opposite direction of our French class, towards the principle's office. 

"Whore!" Christina called out.

Alice stopped walking immediately and turned around to face the girl. "What did you say to her?!" Alice said lowly. 

"I called her a whore, that seems to be her new nickname. The 1D whore. My personal favourite is Liam's bitch-" Christina was cut off by Alice slamming her into the lockers.

"I swear to god, if you ever talk to Rhylie again you will suffer and if you ever call her a whore again, I will hit you." Alice threatened.

She turned around, and stalked over to me.

"Hit me?" the girl called out. 

"Shut up!" Alice shrieked, and dragged me to the office. 

Present time 

"Finally! I'll take you home, and they're letting me stay with you, if you want." Alice gave me her puppy dog eyes.

I smiled slightly. "Yes, you can stay with me." I caved. 

"Yay." Alice smiled.

 "I think it's more you who wants to leave more than me, you're just pissed about that Christina girl." I said.

"What she said to you was unacceptable, don't you get that? I am pissed and if I see her again, I'll just want to kill her, so let's just go to your house." She muttered. 

On our way out of the school, we ran into none other than Dallas. The 3 of us stopped dead in our tracks, looking at each other. 

"What are you guys doing?" Dallas asked.

"Uhm, Rhylie was being harassed and so I'm taking her home early." Alice explained.

"Of course." Dallas said quietly, and sarcastically, and started to walk to the office. 

"Wait, what's that supposed to mean?" Alice defended, blocking Dallas's path to the office.

 "Nothing, geez. Do you mind?" Dallas said hotly, shouldering past Alice. 

"Pissy as usual." Alice said. 

Dallas just glared at us and walked angrily into the office.

I sighed. "Do you guys have to fight all the time like that?" I hated it when they fought. 

Alice just looked at me and shrugged. "Let's just go." she said, and started to walk away. I sighed again and shook my head. Things seemed to be going steadily downhill since we left London.  Liam's POV

"Yo, Liam, me and Erin are going to go watch a movie at mine, so I'll be back later for the party." Niall said.

"Yeah alright, just make sure you're not late." I replied back. 

Andy and I were currently working on Louis's feel better party. Eleanor and him have been fighting and he's been down in the dumps lately and it's really put a downer on our recording sessions. Sometimes he even refuses to show up to interviews, the studio or meetings, and he's getting in trouble for it. So tonight we're throwing him a party. 

"Where should I put these?" Andy asked referring to some plastic cups. 

"Just set them up in the kitchen." I said. 

As soon as I saw him leave, I pulled out my phone and checked for any messages. I've texted Rhylie a bunch of times this past week, but she hasn't messaged me back, I even called a couple times. I furrowed my brows, did I do something wrong? Andy thinks I worry about it too much, and maybe I'm bugging her. Could that be it? 

I put my phone back in my pocket and distractedly set up the food. Something was wrong with her and I was going to find out. 

Alice's POV

Alice - She just hasn't been feeling too well. I'm sure she'll talk to him soon. 

Harry - Hmm, alright, say hi to her for me. I gotta go Liam's rounding everybody up for the party. Bye Al (: xo

Alice - Bye, say hi to Liam for me (: xo

I put my phone away and got Rhylie's tea ready. 

Harry had been asking me if anything was up with Rhylie and that Liam's really worried about her. None of them know yet how badly Rhylie's being treated. She doesn't want them to know, especially Liam. So I've been covering for her every time Harry asks on Liam's behalf. 

I smiled to myself, things with Harry and I have been going really good, we text all the type and Skype and he's just absolutely perfect. We started this random tradition where everyday at 4:30 pm, we have to take a picture of ourselves and send it to each other no matter where we are. Don't ask. He's adorable.

 "ALICE!" 

"WHAT?!"

"WHERE'S MY TEA?!" 

"I'M COMING, GEEZ!"

Impatient Rhylie, holy crap. 

As I walk into Rhylie's living room, I notice her sadly watching the TV. 

I've tried playing it cool

But when I'm looking at you

I can't ever be brave

Cause you make my heart race 

I quickly walked over to the TV and shut it off. Rhylie looked up at me. 

"Don't do that if it makes you sad." I said to her.

 She smiled sadly and me and shrugged.

"Whatever." she mumbled, and picked at the sleeves of her hoodie. 

I sighed internally. What was I going to do with her? 

Niall's POV

"HHAHAHAH, oh wait I love this part!" Erin practically shouted. Erin and I were currently watching Stepbrothers, the funniest movie ever. 

"Hahahahah." I laughed. Dallas loves this movie too. I miss her. 

I pulled out my phone to text her and see what she was up to. 

Hey DJ ;), what are you up to, love?

"Who are you texting?" Erin asked. I looked over to her and she had moved considerably closer to me.

"Uhmm," I said uncomfortably, trying to scooch away from her. "My girlfriend, Dallas." 

"Oh," she said indifferently. "How is she?"

"Good, I guess."

 "Hmm." Erin stared straight ahead at the TV.

Okay......odd.

"Imma go and make a sandwich, be right back." I said, got up and left quickly to the kitchen.

I miss Dallas so much, seeing her on Skype just isn't enough. I need to see her for real and just hug her. Maybe I'll talk to the guys and management and see if we could go visit. 

I smiled to myself, liking that idea, as I got my sandwich ready.

 I heard the door open behind me, and soon felt a hand near my hip. Erin appeared, and she smiled up at me.

"Hey," she said. "I was thinking maybe you and me could go out for dinner tomorrow, Nando's?" 

As much as I loved Nando's something about Erin felt wrong with me. 

"Maybe, I might be busy, you know, we're really busy lately, with our new album and stuff." I said, awkwardly pushing her hand away.

 "Hm, think about it, kay?" She smiled sweetly at me.

I just nodded. "Good. Well I'm going to head home, good luck with the party. See ya Ni Ni." She kissed me cheek and smiled at me, once more, and exited the kitchen. 

I stared at the door, not knowing what just really happened. I shook my head slightly grabbing my sandwich and heading over to Liam's.

Oh Dallas how I miss you.    

*A/N Let us know if you have any suggestions for the story, and POV requests or anything you want to see happen in the story. Thank you! *

Chapter 32 - Harry!

Rhylie’s POV

“Don’t let go!”

“I’ll never let go!” 

“Oh my god! Just shut it!”

“Don’t be so cranky Zayn!” Eleanor scolded.

After racing luggage carts in the hallway and having an angry hotel guest threatening to call the front desk if we didn’t stop, we wanted to go swimming. But it was getting too late, so we decided on going today, and at the outdoor pool they have. 

It was our last day in London, sadly. Alice, Dallas and I leave at 9 o’clock tonight. 

Eleanor, Zayn and I were working on our tans, while Dallas and Niall were messing about and re-enacting scenes from different movies. Right now it was the Titanic. Alice was watching, Louis and Harry with amused eyes in the hot tub; they were having a contest to try and make each other laugh. Liam was off doing something, I’ve been ignoring him, since he keeps bugging me to come into the water. 

Zayn gave us that moody glare and flopped onto his stomach. The 3 of us were lying on lounge chairs, I was working on my stomach and legs, while Eleanor was working on her back. 

Originally it was supposed to be the 8 of us, but Louis asked so sweetly if he could bring Eleanor, to which Dallas replied ‘we ain’t yo momma.’ 

Let me tell you, Eleanor is the sweetest girl ever, and she has the most amazing fashion sense ever. 

“Don’t you dare!” Alice yelled.

I turned around and saw Louis walking over quietly, with a mischievous smile. 

“Eleanor watch out!” Alice yelled again. 

Eleanor turned around just in time to have Louis pick her up and throw her into the deep end of the pool. It was so fast she didn’t even have time to scream.

As Eleanor surfaced, Louis just laughed hysterically. 

“What was that for?!” 

“Loveyou.” Louis said fast, and ran away. 

“That boy I swear!” Eleanor swam to the edge and got out. 

I sat up, and threw her hot-pink towel towards her. 

As she dried off, my eyes trailed over to the hot-tub. Alice and Harry seemed to be getting extremely cozy. They kept laughing at something. 

“Rhylie!” 

My head shot up, I looked around for the source of the yelling. 

My eyes landed on an arm-waving Liam. He motioned for me to come join him over by the snack bar. 

“I’m tanning!” I yelled back to him. 

“Dear God please stop the yelling.” Zayn mumbled into his lounge chair. 

“C’mon!” Liam shouted. 

I rolled my eyes, but decided to go over to him. Every time I started to tan, something always interrupted me, or I get too restless and can’t sit still for long. This time it was Liam. Liam Payne is preventing me from tanning. 

As I sauntered over to him, taking my time enjoying the breeze, I could have sworn he was checking me out. Yes…yes, he was! I saw that up and down look! I nearly shook my head in disbelief. 

I was wearing a blue and purple striped bikini. 

I decided to call him out on it. 

“Hey,” I greeted. “Like it.” I motioned to my bathing suit. 

He seemed oblivious. “Yeah, it’s nice.” 

“Nice? That’s all you have to say? You were staring at it for quite some time…” Okay, Rhylie maybe you should shut up. Flirting isn’t one of your strong suits. Change the subject. 

Liam laughed awkwardly, while scratching the back of his neck. “Uhmm, well, you know.”

I raised my eyebrows at him, questioningly. “Know what?”

He just stared at me, I stared back. It wasn’t one of those mushy, can’t look away from eyes type stare. It was more of a ‘dare to move’ type stare. 

He sighed. “It’s exquisitely lovely, and the pattern is out-of-this-world amazing.” He smiled proud of himself. 

I walked past him and patted his shoulder. “Whatever you say Liam.” 

“Can I get an Iced Tea, and a small chocolate cone?” I asked as I reached the snack bar. 

“I’ll have a water, and a vanilla cone, please.” Liam smiled at the cashier. 

“Rhylie!” 

I looked over my shoulder towards the pool, it was Eleanor. 

“Get me a coke!” 

“Okay!”

Out of nowhere, Zayn got up from his lounge chair by Eleanor, dragged in an extremely far corner, laid back down, and put a towel over his head. 

“Moody!” Eleanor shouted to him. 

“One coke, as well.” I said turning back to the woman. 

“Here you go,” she set everything on the counter. “That’ll be six pounds.” 

Liam, being the guy he is, paid. 

“Have a nice day.” 

“Thanks, you too.” I said. 

As we walked back towards the pool, my ears were greeted with piercing squeals. 

I looked up, and Eleanor was jumping up and down, and hugging a very short, long long blond-haired girl. 

“It’s so good to see you! How long are you in town for?” I heard Eleanor talk more clear, as Liam and I got closer. 

“Permanently! I’m officially moving to London!” Blondie nearly screamed. 

Holy crap was this girl pretty. She had that model look about her that makes your self-esteem level drop. She had this ginormous blue-green eyes framed with long lashes, and a stunning smile, with straight, white teeth. Did I forget to mention she’s got curves? Curves in the places curves looked best. 

I had some sudden feeling if I approached her, she’d start bashing on how ugly I was. 

As we approached, the girl whispered something into Eleanor’s ear, and then they laughed themselves sick. 

“Oh, hey!” Eleanor said as she noticed us. “This is Liam and Rhylie! Liam and Rhylie this is Erin, my best friend since Year 2. Although I haven’t seen her in forever! And she’s moving here!” Squeal. “I’m so excited! We’re going to have so much fun!” 

“Hi! Nice to meet you!” Erin, came right up into my space bubble and hugged me very tight. Then did the same with Liam. 

“Oh and over there in the hot-tub is Harry and Alice! Harry is off limits Erebear!” Eleanor poked Erin on the stomach. Erin just laughed. I raised my eyebrow at Liam. He just shrugged. “Cause I’m pretty sure there’s something going on between those two. And if not now then soon. And then in the pool is Niall and Dallas. They are the most adorable couple! They’ve been re-enacting Titanic scenes, it’s so cute. And then the moody one in that corner over there, is Zayn. And Louis is around here somewhere.” 

“Mischievous Louis.” Erin laughed. Eleanor nodded.

“Hey, you mind if I talk to Niall a bit?” Erin pointed to where Dallas was pretending to sink and Niall was pretending he was unable to save her. 

Eleanor sighed softly, and furrowed her brows softly. “Yeah, go ahead. I’ll just be tanning over here.” Eleanor’s distressed expression was replaced with a smile. 

“Ok.” Erin gave a slight wave, as she sauntered over to Niall. 

I glanced over at Eleanor, she just gave me a small smile, and walked over to her chair. But her smile was off, as if something was wrong. 

I looked over at Niall, Erin and Dallas. Niall and Dallas had swum to the end of the pool, and Erin had lied down and supporting herself with her elbows. 

“What do you say, we head over to the hot tub?” Liam asked, munching on his ice cream cone. 

“Uhmm, yeeah in a minute, I’ll meet you there.” I said, not taking my eyes off the 3 at the pool. 

As Liam walked off, Niall and Dallas laughed hysterically at something Erin said. 

Catching his breath, smiley Niall said something to Erin, pointing to the snack bar. Erin shook her head. Niall turned to Dallas said something to Dallas, but she shook her head too. He must have been asking if they wanted anything. 

Niall said something again, kissed Dallas on the cheek and swam away to the stairs, heading to the snack bar I guess. 

Erin and Dallas continued to talk, they were smiling, and seemed to be getting along alright. 

I shrugged, and walked over to the hot tub, licking my ice cream along the way. 

At first, all I saw was Alice, looking bored. But then suddenly a wild Harry and Liam broke the surface of the water. 

“Hey,” Harry gave me that guyish head nod, as I slipped into the hot water. 

“Hey.” I said back.

Alice looked at both of them. “Liam won by like a millisecond.”

Harry made a grunting noise, and slapped the water. “Again.”

“Alright, if you really think you take on the great Liam Pay-” Liam was cut off by Harry splashing him, and nearly shouting that he only won by a millisecond. 

“You guys are going to get light-headed soon, and dizzy, what if one of you faints or something?” Alice sat up a little more, concerned. 

“Calm down, it’s fine. Besides, I’m pretty sure Rhylie knows mouth to mouth for a certain someone-” 

“Harry!” I interjected. 

Ignoring me he went on, “I know you’ve got the whole CPR thing down on lock.” He raised his eyebrows at Alice.

“Harry!” Alice scolded.

“What? Come on Liam, back me up on this.” Harry said, glancing between me and Liam.

“Harry.” Liam said quietly warningly. 

“Oh, I get it…you guys got tension!” He said implying. 

“Harry!” All 3 of us exclaimed.

“Harry, shut up.” Alice said.

“Hey, I’m just saying…” 

“Well, I wish you would stop saying.” Alice said.

“Yeah, me too.” Liam cut in.

“Don’t tell me that you guys don’t-” Harry started.

“Enough, mate.” Liam said. 

As the 3 of them bickered, I looked back over to the pool. 

Erin was now crouching, about to leave, and pointing her finger at Dallas, and Dallas looked outraged. 

When Erin, finished speaking, she got up, and went over to Eleanor.

Around that exact moment, Niall came back, but then got distracted by Zayn, who’d I’d just noticed now, was also watching Dallas and Erin, especially Erin. 

As they talked, Dallas got out of the pool and started to walk over to the 4 of us. 

“Hey guys.” She sounded pissed.

“What’s wrong?” Alice and I said at the exact same time. 

Dallas stared at us, sadly for a second, then shook her head and stared at the water. 

I looked at Alice, and she mouthed ‘talk later’, I nodded. 

I wonder what Erin said to her?

Chapter 31 - In like

Dallas’s POV

“Stop being such a baby.” I rolled my eyes at Rhylie.

“Well, if you’re gonna be all Miss Cool, why don’t you do it!” Rhylie screeched. 

“Because, this is something you need to do for yourself!” I yelled at her. 

“I can’t okay! I just can’t! Why are you doing this to me?!”

“It’s not that hard!” I shouted.

“Dear god, help us.” Alice muttered, under her breath.

The 3 of us were crowded around a Daddy-Long-Legs spider that was moving at a slow pace across the wall behind the TV. We moved the TV slightly so we could stand behind it.

Rhylie spotted it as we were watching Liam, Niall, Zayn, Harry and Louis perform on a local music show they had here in downtown London. She let out the most blood-curdling shriek, I’ve ever heard. Alice quickly covered her mouth, so no guests would complain. 

“It’s almost on the ceiling.” Rhylie whispered. 

I rolled my eyes again. “Then get a chair.”

“No! What if it falls on me and bites me?!” Rhylie looked at me with wide eyes.

“Then you’ll be the next comic book sensation. Spiderwoman.” I joked.

Rhylie ignored this and continued to watch the spider with a fearful expression. She had the worst case of arachnophobia ever, I swear. 

“I will kill you with my bare hands, and then take the spider and enclose it in your mouth, if you don’t kill it soon!” I said loudly.

She looked down, and closed her eyes shut tight, and started to flail her hands around her head. 

“Gross, shut up!” she exclaimed.

“Guys, commercials over. They’re back on!” Alice told us, smiling. Her eyes trained only on Harry. 

This last week, since her little outburst which she apologized deeply for we all forgave her, but we made fun of her for it, her and Harry had gone out once. 

He had a driver come pick her up, and take her to his and Louis’s flat. Of course Louis wasn’t there. From what she’s told us all they did was have dinner, that Harry cooked, sat and just talked. She came home at midnight. Which her mom gave her a lot of crap for, then Rhylie and I grilled her to no end. 

Niall had taken me out 0 times. I don’t know why, but it was weird. I mean yeah, we hang out just the 2 of us. But me being the girl I am, I wanted a proper date at least once. I had dropped all kinds of hints. He’d say he wanted to see a certain movie, and I’d suggest, nonchalantly of course, that we could maybe see it together sometime. 

I frowned a little, walking back around the TV, to watch them sing Moments.

“What about the spider!?” Rhylie asked us disbelievingly. 

“If you want it gone so bad, get it yourself!” I said irritated. I mean seriously it’s a spider. What’s it going to do to you?

She groaned very high-pitched. 

I sighed madly at her and went to go get a chair. 

“Don’t crack now Dallas! Stay strong! Let her do it!” Alice encouraged.

“I can’t stand her, so I’ll just do it already! Geez!” I exclaimed.

“Yeah, she’s getting super annoying.” Alice agreed.

“Uh, still in the room.” Rhylie pointed at herself. Alice waved her hand at her.

I placed the chair directly under where the spider was, and stood on it. I held out my hand to Rhylie, so she could give me the Kleenex tissue. 

“Make sure it doesn’t drop.” Rhylie watched me with wide eyes.

“Trust me, I don’t want it to.” I mumbled.

I reached up to the spider with Kleenex in hand, and smushed it over the spider.

Rhylie made a girly disgusted noise. 

I removed the tissue from the ceiling, and the spider was still there, seemingly untouched. 

“What the hell? Die!” I yelled at the spider. I lifted the tissue to try and kill it again. 

“Oh my god, it won’t die.” Rhylie said shocked. 

“Oh my god, shut up.” I said, mocking her.

“Be quiet and kill that thing!” She shouted. 

I removed the Kleenex and the spider was still on the ceiling.

“I’m trying! Why don’t you do it!” I turned to her. My face contorted into an angry mask.

Rhylie backed away. “No thanks.” she said quietly.

I sighed, and turned back to the unkillable idiot, well not for long. 

As I pulled the tissue away from the ceiling for the 3rd time, the spider was gone.

“Did it drop!???!” Rhylie shrieked, and frantically twirled around staring at the ground. 

“No, I got it.” I said, looking at the shrivelled dead body of the spider. It was really big, and crawly looking, ugh!

I hopped off the chair, and smiling when I heard Niall’s solo in Moments. He was just too perfect. 

“Here,” I said holding the tissue out to Rhylie, “you can throw it out.” 

Rhylie backed away holding her hands up as it to defend herself. “No way!” 

“Oh c’mon it’s dead! Just throw it out.” I shoved the Kleenex toward her face. 

Rhylie screamed. “Stop it! Dallas, stop!”

“You guys shut up! One more strike and we’re out remember!?” Alice said desperately.

“So what? We leave tomorrow.” I grunted. I was now straddling Rhylie on the couch. Attempting to shove the spider in her eye. And she was pushing at my hands, and it was just a mess.

Alice rolled her eyes and turned back to the TV.

“Dallas STOP!” 

“No! EAT IT!” I jokingly yelled, and tried to keep a straight face. Obviously I wasn’t going to make her eat it. 

Rhylie squeezed her eyes shut, and shook her head fast. “No!”

“Holy shit.” Alice said. 

“What?” I turned to her, but got distracted by the TV. My jaw dropped to the floor, and I stopped fighting Rhylie.

Rhylie noticed I stopped and looked at me. “What are you guys staring…?” She trailed off as she looked at the TV.

Smack dab in the middle of the screen was a picture of Liam and Rhylie holding hands. Although you couldn’t really tell it was her; we could. 

In my daze, I accidentally dropped the Kleenex and it landed slightly in Rhylie’s open mouth. 

“Oops.” I muttered. 

She bolted up and knocked me onto the floor. She screamed the loudest I’d ever heard her. Alice and I covered our ears. 

Rhylie started shouting incoherently, it sounded something like ‘it’s in my mouth!’ Double oops. 

There was a sudden knock at the door. 

Alice sighed. “Crap.” And she left to go answer it. But before she could Rhylie grabbed her arm, and yanked her back. 

Alice stared at her shocked, holding her arm. That looked painful.

Rhylie started shouting at her, something like ‘get it out!’

“What?” Alice asked. 

“Get. It. Out!” she shrieked. 

Alice just stared at her weirdly. 

“What do you want me to do Rhyles?” She asked a bit disgusted. 

“Swallow it.” I suggested, and was repayed with a glare from Alice.

I got up off the floor, and over to Rhylie and Alice. 

“Just spit it out!” Alice said. 

“I can’t, it’s like undermytongue, and stuckorsomething!” Rhylie said fast. She looked like she was going to throw up. 

“Try and spit it out and I’ll get some water.” Alice said turning to leave. 

I stepped up to Rhylie, about to tell her to open her mouth so I could see, when Alice screamed. I turned around, and screamed as well. My heart beating 5 million miles a minute. Rhylie continued making weird spitting/puking noises.

Standing in front of us were the guys. All 5 of them. 

Alice stared at them, then turned to the TV, where they were being interviewed, then back at them. 

“What are you doing here!?” Alice shouted at them. They looked slightly hurt and taken aback. 

I stepped towards leaving Rhylie to deal with herself. “What she means is, you’re supposed to be in our TV!” I said quite loudly. I was still a little freaked out. 

“What?” Harry asked confused. The 2 of us gestured to the TV, where the interviewer was asking Liam questions about Rhylie. 

“So Liam, who is this mystery girl? C’mon don’t you want to tell us? You 2 look awfully cosy in this picture.” And once again the picture of Liam and Rhylie holding hands popped up. 

Alice hastily grabbed the remote and turned off the TV. But it was too late, the awkwardness had creeped it’s way into the room, and everyone could feel it’s presence. Well everyone, but one. 

“We were gonna tell you guys about it, but it was sort of a last minute thing. And that was last night. It wasn’t live.” Niall explained putting his arm around me and kissing the top of my head. 

I blushed a little, embarrassed. 

“OH MY GOD! I FINALLY SPIT IT OUT!” Rhylie pretty much yelled, walking into the living room, from the direction of the kitchen. I didn’t even notice her leave. Her face was all red and she was drinking Root Beer. 

The room stayed silent. Still awkward from the interview on TV, unbeknownst to Rhylie. 

Everyone looked back and forth from Liam to Rhylie. 

“I’m going to gooooo……………on…….the balcony.” Alice said slowly, as if unsure of herself. 

“Uhh, me and Harold will come with you.” Louis said, in a hurry to leave the room. The 3 of them left us and departed onto the balcony, and shut the curtains behind them. 

“I’m gonna go raid your fridge.” Zayn smiled quickly and practically ran to the kitchen.

“I’m with him.” Niall said, still not seeing the big deal. 

“Uhh, Niall let’s go to my room.” I said.

He frowned. “But I wanted food.” 

“I’ll make you some later.” 

He pouted. “Promise?” he held out his pinky. 

I smiled and rolled my eyes, but wrapped my pinky around his. “Promise. Now let’s go.” I pretty much had to drag him all the way to my room, leaving Rhylie and Liam alone.

“What’s the big hairy deal?” He asked rubbing his shoulder. “Nearly ripped my arm out of the socket.” 

“Duh, Liam and Rhylie?” I said holding my arms out.

“What about them? You mean the interview?” he asked.

“Uhhh, yes.” I said nodding my head vigorously. 

He chuckled a bit. “You’re adorable. And just leave them to it. It’s not really any of our business now.” He raised his eyebrows at me. Which is always the signal that he’s slightly joking around. 

I smiled. “Yeah, I guess.” 

I layed down on my bed, and stared up at the ceiling. Then I turned to stare at Niall. He was staring back at me. A lot of staring happening…

He was wearing a white T-shirt, grey sweat-pants, one green sock, and a red baseball cap on backwards. He could make a dull outfit look like the most gorgeous thing in the world. 

“You’re staring.” he stated.

“So are you.” I shot back.

“I’m not drooling, babe.” he winked at me. 

I made a face at him, and rolled over onto my other side, so my back was facing him. 

I heard a small sigh, and felt him get onto the bed. Soon, his face was right in front of me, but upside-down, the top of his head on the bed. His hand was on my arm, and the other beside his head so he would fall down on me. 

“Maybe it’s just me, but my Horan-Senses tell me something’s wrong with you.” He smiled softly. 

I laughed a little, then frowned slightly. I had been wondering a lot lately whether I should just tell him, myself, “LET’S GO ON A DATE!” But I didn’t want to just be straight up about it. 

Niall must’ve noticed the change in atmosphere, and lay down properly next to me. He took my hand in his and kissed it gently.

“What’s wrong, D?” he asked.

I shrugged slightly, as best as I could lying down, and sighed. 

“No big deal, it’s stupid really.” I said.

“You know if you don’t tell me, I’m gonna be super bummed the rest of the day. You being upset, puts me off.” He scrunched his nose a little. Niall wasn’t one to get sappy, I learned right away. So he always got a little weird when that started to happen.

“It’s just,” I paused, searching for the right words. “why don’t we ever, like……you know,” Don’t you absolutely hate those moments when you’re searching for the perfect way to say something you didn’t really want to say in the first place? “Why don’t we ever go out?” Okay, I guess it wasn’t really that hard to say. 

I looked at him expectantly, waiting for a response. 

He just stared at me. “What do you mean? We’re going out, right?” He shook his head slightly; confused.

“Well yeah, but I mean, why don’t we ever got out like on an official date? You know what I mean?” Gosh, I should’ve never have even brought it up. “All we really do is hang out here, or at your place, and majority of the time it’s with the others.” I motioned out towards the living room with my hand.

He stared at our tangled hands, listening intently. He rubbed little circles on my hand with his thumb, as his eyes met mine. 

“I’m just not quite comfortable sharing you with the entire world just yet. I will admit I’ve been avoiding the whole first date thing. Cause I know when it happens, we’ll be seen, and your name and face will be put out there, and I’m not ready for that. I just want to keep you to myself for the time being, just the two of us. While everything is still calm.” he explained. By the time he was done, his cheeks were tinged with a light pink. And it had to be the cutest thing I’d ever seen. 

I smiled, cupped the side of his face, and kissed him lightly. 

“Good answer.” I said to him. 

He laughed lightly, and gently pinched my nose. I smirked, and playfully pushed him away. 

There was a sudden sharp knock at the door, that caused me to jump slightly. 

“Hey guys, Alice and Rhylie just went downstairs to go get some luggage carts. They’re bringing them back up, and we’re all gonna race them in the hallway. Join us?” Louis’s hyper voice asked from behind the door.

I opened my mouth to say yes, when Niall interrupted me. 

“No thanks, buddy. We’re just going to hang out here.” 

I looked at him surprised. Niall, passing up the opportunity to ride on a luggage cart?

He looked down at me, and winked. 

“Alright then, see you later, mate.” Louis’s footsteps faded away. 

“I must really like you, if I’d rather be with you, than racing down a hallway on a luggage cart.” He raised his eyebrows, indicating he was joking. 

“Well that’s good, cause I really like you too.” I replied. 

“Yeah?”

I nodded. 

“Okay then, it’s official, we’re in like.”

Chapter 30 - Teenage dramas

Rhylie’s POV

“I’m pretty sure he’s not following us Liam. You can come out.” I said laughing. 

Liam emerged from the maid’s closet that we had found on the 12th floor; somebody had left it open. 

After Niall had ordered for everybody to run, we split up so fast, we might as well have been Mystery Inc. from Scooby Doo.

I saw Dallas and Niall head outside, Alice and Harry ran down some random hallway, while Liam and I went straight for the stairs.

We ran up and up and up and up and up, until we got off at the 12th floor. I guess Liam had some sort of adrenaline rush, cause he just kept going, and dragged me with him. 

He ran right into the maid’s closet and slammed the door shut. We waited for about a minute, but I figured the chance’s of that guy following us all that way were very slim. 

Liam looked around, and started walking to a large window that was at the end of the hallway of all the hotel rooms. I followed him.

We reached the window, and my breath immediately was taken out of my lungs. The view was spectacular. 

I smiled. “London is just so perfect.” 

“It is great, isn’t it?” Liam said. I nodded.

We were at the back end of the hotel, so we were facing what’s behind it. There was the London Eye, the Thames River, Westminster Bridge (where Alice, Dallas and I fed tons of pigeons), Waterloo Bridge, and Big Ben. We were literally in the perfect spot of it all.

“So, where do you reckon the others ended up?” Liam asked.

I shrugged. “No idea.” 

He sighed. 

“We should probably go and find them.” 

“Yeah, you’re right.” I agreed.

I gave one last fleeting glance at the gorgeous view, then headed for the elevators.

I ran ahead, just to be sure I could push the down button. I always loved pushing the elevator buttons. It’s fun, admit it.

As I waited, I felt Liam string a casual arm around my shoulders. I looked up at him, with a small smile. He looked down at me and smiled, while raising his eyebrows. He was just too adorable.

Every time he touched me, even in the littlest ways my heart started to pound, and I got a weird feeling in my stomach.

There was a quiet ding, and the elevator doors opened. As we got on, Liam let his arm fall to his side once again.

“Oh my god.” I said laughing.

“What?”

“I never noticed how cliché and boring this elevator music is.” I said. Liam laughed. 

He started to do this really weird and creepy snake-like dance to the music, which made me laugh even harder. He added a weird head bob.

I was nearly on the floor, clutching my stomach. 

As I caught my breath, I could feel a soreness in my cheeks from laughing.

“Please, promise you’ll never do that again!” 

He chuckled. “I promise.” 

We were still laughing and talking, when the doors opened and revealed the lobby. It also revealed a soaking wet Harry and Alice at the front desk with her mother. Uh-oh. 

“Oooh. I smell trouble.” Liam said, pretty much reading my mind. He waggled his eyebrows at me and smirked. I held back more laughter.

I could feel another headache coming on. I swear I’ll never drink again. Well at least not for a long time. I groaned internally and started mindlessly rubbing my temples.

We waited for Alice and Harry, keeping our distance. Neither of us wanted to get involved.

We could hear Lori’s voice from where we were standing. She sounded really upset. Liam and I exchanged worried glances. 

Finally they were all done talking, and they started to walk over to us. Alice and Harry were slightly dripping water on the shiny tiles. What happened to them?

Alice finally looked up and noticed us. She gave us an ‘I’ll explain later’ look. I nodded at her.

Lori sighed. “I’m going back to the conference room now. TRY not to get in any more trouble!” she narrowed her eyes at Alice and Harry. They silently nodded.

She click-clacked down the hallway, towards the conference room. 

I turned to Alice and Harry. “Okay, now can you tell us what happened?”

I see them share a knowing smile. “Later.” they said in unison.

Oh my god. Something totally happened between them. I fangirled a little inside.

***

The four of us got back to the hotel room. Still no sign of Dallas, Niall. Zayn however was lounging on the couch when we walked in. 

“Hey! There you guys are.” Zayn said standing up. 

“I’ll be right back. I need to dry off.” Alice muttered quickly, and looked at me as if to say ‘come with me.’ 

“Here, I’ll come with you.” I said. The others looked at me weirdly, but let it go.

Al and I walked to the nearest bathroom. I saw something behind me. I turned around, and Harry was following us. 

“Uhmm, can I help you?” I asked, blocking the hallway. 

“Let me through, I need to use the other bathroom.” He said smirking. 

“Oh, right.” I said. Of course he needed to dry off.

I stepped aside, he started to pass me, but stopped in front of me. 

He leaned his head down and shook his wet hair all over me. 

“Harry!” I screeched. “I straightened my hair today!” He just laughed at me.

“What did he do?” Alice asked, walking out of the bathroom wringing her hair with a towel.

“Nothing.” he said innocently. 

“Nothing?” Alice asked unsure.

“Absolutely nothing.” he said grinning goofily. I heard the door to our hotel room open, and in walked Dallas and Niall. They walked over to us. 

Harry walked past me over to Alice, and kissed her on the forehead. Whoa, what?!

He leaned down and whispered something in her ear. She blushed and lightly pushed him away. He just smirked at her, and went into the bathroom at the end of the hallway.

After I heard the door shut I immediately started to grill Alice.

“Okay, what was all of that?” I whisper-yelled. 

“Nothing.” she said innocently. Hmm. Deja-vu. 

“Nothing?” I asked, raising my eyebrows.

“Absolutely nothing.” she said smiling.

“It sure looked like something.” Dallas insisted.

“This sounds like something girls talk about, so I’ll be in the living room, love.” Niall said to Dallas, and lightly kissed her on the cheek.

Alice and I awwwed.

Alice started to follow Niall out.

“Oh no you don’t Al!” I said grabbing her arm, and dragging her into my room. Dallas followed. I shut the door. “Tell us what happened right now!”

She plopped down onto an armchair beside my bed. 

“Well, after we all ran into our different directions and whatnot, Harry and I ended up in the pool. We fell in, cause that crazy employee guy was chasing us.” I knew that guy wasn’t following us. Liam was so paranoid. “So then we got out of the pool, and found my mom waiting for us in the lobby. She was sooooo mad. She said we embarrassed her and she had to pay for the cream puffs and this guys stupid limited steel plate and stuff. And yeah. That’s about it.” she finished.

“Uh, no, that is NOT all! What was that between you and Harry in the hallway? What, you guys all of a sudden start acting all couply? No, something happened. What was it?” I demanded to know.

She sighed. “Well, you know, he just, asked me out is all.” she waved her hand as if it was nothing.

“What?!” Dallas and I exclaimed together.

“You heard what I said.” Al smiled hugely.

Dallas and I started to do that annoying kind of yell that girls do when they’re excited.

After we all calmed down, I decided I would tell them what happened with Liam and I earlier. 

“Okay well since you said that. Something happened between Liam and I as well. But not in that sense.” I said a tiny bit sad.

“What happened?” Dallas asked falling down onto my bed. 

“So,” I let out a breath. “Liam knows about, you know, this.” I said gesturing to my wrists. They right away knew what I was talking about. 

“Are you serious?” Dallas asked astounded.

“Yeah, wow.” Alice said. Although she didn’t look as shocked.

“I know. And so I told him about it all, everything that’s happened over the years. And I also told Louis.” I said looking at them.

Alice’s eyes widened. “Woah, Rhyles.” 

“I said don’t call me that, remember?” I said a little annoyed.

“Are you okay with that many people knowing.” Dallas asked.

“I guess yeah, I mean, I know I can trust them.” I said confidently.

“I’m proud of you.” Alice said smiling warmly at me. 

“Yeah, me too Rhyles.” Dallas added.

I ignored her name for me, and pulled them up into a hug.

As we pulled away, Alice opened her mouth, as if to say something then closed it again.

“I have something else to confess.” Alice said.

Dallas groaned and flopped back down on the bed. I sat down beside her and hit her lightly on the stomach. “Be nice.” I said.

“Okay, so when Harry asked me out, I was a little sceptical.” Al said.

“How come?” I asked.

She sighed. “Last night at the party-”

“Seems like it was eons ago.” Dallas stated randomly.

I pinched her nose, and she flinched. “Don’t interrupt.” I said. I looked back at Alice expectantly.

“Anyways. After I talked to Liam, I-” 

“You talked to Liam??” I asked bewildered. 

Dallas shoved my shoulder. “Don’t interrupt.” she mocked.

“Yeah, I talked to him about Harry and Michelle.” Alice said.

“Who the hell is Michelle?” Dallas asked.

“Long story short, Michelle is Harry’s ex. He kissed me last night at the party, and then called me Michelle. He was drunk though, and I’ve let it go.” she explained.

“Woah, what? Where were we?” I asked.

“Totally shitfaced by the bar!” Alice snapped.

Dallas and I sat back quietly.

“Sorry, anyway yeah, all of that happened, and I was upset. So I went to Liam, who was one of the one’s who was sober, and asked him about Michelle. She broke up with him cause of trust issues, and he was really in love with her. And so I talked to Harry about it today, and he said he does still really have feelings for her and stuff. But then he asked me out. So it was a tiny bit confusing.

“But anyway I’m getting off topic. So at the party last night, after talking to Liam, I went over to hang out with Zayn. He hadn’t been drinking so we were just talking and stuff, and then wetotallysortofmadeout.” 

“What?” I asked. I didn’t catch the last part of what she said. Meanwhile Dallas was totally shocked.

“Duuuuude, you messed with the plan of life!” Dallas exclaimed.

“What?” Alice asked.

“I’m with Niall, you’re going to be with Harry, and Rhylie and Liam will get together. But no you had to go and ruin it!” 

“Whoa, wait someone explain to me what happened?” I felt totally out of the loop.

“Alice here made out with Zayn last night.” 

“You what?!” I screamed.

“SHHH! We don’t need the whole hotel to know about my teenage dramas.” Alice said.

“Well, you did mess with the plan of life, but really it’s not too much of a big deal…” Dallas said unsure.

“What if Harry finds out. I always heard he takes that stuff hard.” Alice said.

“Well it’s not like you guys are dating just yet. And really it’s not any of his business.” Dallas said.

“You’re just full of wisdom aren’t you.” I said to her.

“Totally.” Dallas said smiling.

“Just go talk to Zayn and tell him to just forget about it. You guys were both on like a high of the party, and that it didn’t mean anything.” Dallas said lazily.

“I’m not good at being so upfront like you are.” Alice said panicky.

Dallas gave her a little annoyed look. “You want me to do it for you?”

“No, what are we? In kindergarten?” Alice sighed. “I’ll just do it myself. But later.” She stood up and headed for the door.

“The sooner the better.” Dallas said in a sing-song voice, and stood up as well.

Alice had her hand on the doorknob and turned around. “Why don’t you just……shut up.” she said toughly. Dallas just smirked.

We walked into the living room and stopped right in our tracks.

“You guys!?” Alice shrieked.

Broken potato chips littered the floor, a piece of cake stuck to the wall, there was popcorn all over the couches, some weird cheese dip was spread on the carpets, staining them. And to top it all off, it looks they had gotten in a pillow fight and ripped all of the pillows. And somehow the TV had made it’s way sideways on the floor. It wasn’t cracked but it didn’t look good. Alice’s mom was going to kill us. She would have to pay for all of this. 

Harry and Zayn were wrestling on the ground. Teensy bit ironic, I thought. Liam was hastily picking up pieces of popcorn off the couch. And Niall had fallen asleep in one of the armchairs.

Alice had her mouth open in shock and her face looked like as if she saw a ghost. 

“My mom is going to kill me!” she shouted.

She ran over to Zayn and Harry and quickly broke them apart.

“Stop whatever childish thing you guys are wrestling over and get out of this hotel!” She yelled at them. Uh-oh. 

I looked over at Dallas worriedly. She gave me the same look. 

You see Alice is that type of girl who is super duper nice, and rarely gets mad. Well she’s been getting kind of snappy lately, and when that happens, one day she finally snaps. And it looks like the poor boys were about to witness that. At least Louis wasn’t here.

I slowly walked over to her. “Alice-”

“No, shut up!” she roared at me. She turned back to Harry and Zayn who looked rather scared. 

“Get out! And don’t come back unless you are ready to behave and act your age, and be a little more mature! I do not appreciate babysitting all of you, and having to be responsible for everything you guys do! My mother has to pay for these couch cushions, she’s already pissed at me about the pool incident! So just get out before I throw all of you off that balcony!” she stopped yelling to breath.

“Here, we’ll help-” Harry started to say quietly.

“No! Just leave! Just go!” She started to wave her arms crazily towards the door. 

Liam quickly made his way over to where Dallas and I were standing.

“Bye.” was all he said, walking right past us to the door. 

By this point Niall had woken up, and was eating some popcorn from the couches. 

Alice ran her hands through her hair, and looked back at Harry and Zayn who were motionless.

“Do you think I’m joking?” she whispered, venom almost visibly noticeable in her voice.

“You guys might want to leave, like, now.” I said jumping in, before she strangled them. She was glaring at them.

“Nah, we’re not leaving. We’ll stay, alright?” Niall said to Alice. 

She turned around slowly, glaring at Niall.

“Go be with your stupid girlfriend down in the lobby!” She screamed at him. He looked really taken aback, but then quickly composed himself.

“Don’t ever call my girlfriend stupid.” He said calmly, but almost equally as mad. Alice and Niall were now having a glare off.

“Get. Out.” she said emphasizing her words.

Niall opened his mouth to say something, but Dallas quickly cut in. We’ve learned now that whenever Alice says something like what she said to Niall she doesn’t mean it. She’s pretty much just grasping at strings.

“Niall let’s go. Trust me, she doesn’t mean any of the things she’s saying. It’s like she’s being possessed, you know?” she explained. They quickly left. 

Zayn followed them out as fast as he could. Harry made a move to hug Alice, but thought more of it and decided not to. He walked out without a word. 

It was now just us two, in the middle of the messy living room.

I stood there, it’s best to let her cool down before making any contact whatsoever.

I was looking down at my feet. I could hear the traffic through the open window outside.

The hotel phone started ring. I quickly ran over to it, so as not to trigger Alice again.

“Hello?” I answered.

“Hello, we’ve been getting a lot of  noise complaints from people about your room. You’re also our clients who stole some desserts from our restaurant earlier. Those are 2 strikes. One more, and we have no choice but to kick you out.” The woman on the other end explained. She sounded really angry.

“Yeah, I’m so sorry. We must’ve had the TV too loud. We turned it down now. You won’t get anymore complaints I promise.” I said into the phone.

“Make sure of that.” she said, and hung up.

I hung up the phone, and turned to Alice. 

She was leaning against the couch, with her face in her hands. I heard her sniffle. She looked up and started to wipe her face. She was crying. 

I made my way over to her, and hugged her. 

“I don’t even know why I’m crying.” Her voice was hoarse from yelling so much. 

“You’re upset. Don’t worry, we’ll clean this up and it’ll be okay.” I tried to reassure her. 

She sniffed again, and tried to smile at me. 

“You know I didn’t mean to call Dallas stupid.” she sounded guilty.

“Don’t worry, we both know you didn’t mean it. Although she can be, and she knows it.” We laughed.

I cleaned up the potato chips, while she rubbed at the cheese dip on the carpet. 

I know Alice, and I know that this wasn’t just about the mess they made. It was also about this stuff going on about Harry and Zayn and this Michelle girl. 

I started to think about what Dallas said earlier, about the plan of life or whatever. I started to wonder, what if it really is fate, that I would end up with Liam. I mean think about, we’ve been crushing on One Direction for all this time, and now we’re with them like all the time. 

Niall and Dallas are together.

Harry and Alice are pretty much almost together.

Liam and I……not yet.

But god I hope so.

Chapter 29 - Pool

Alice’s POV

“Prove it.” Harry said. 

I picked up a tablespoon, and breathed on it a couple times to make it a bit sticky. I then put the spoon on my nose and it stuck. 

“Ha ha!” I exclaimed. 

My ears were greeted with applauding from everybody.

“Talent right there.” Dallas said, and banged on the table. 

I laughed, and took the spoon off of my nose. 

A few people glared at us, and shook their heads. This was after all quite a fancy restaurant for a 4 star hotel. There was a dress code required, but when you walk in with One Direction, you can pretty much get away with anything.

We were dressed in jeans and T-shirts, while everyone else wore dresses, skirts, blazers and ties. 

We had finished our food, and were now just hanging out and talking.

“I’m still hungry.” Niall said looking around. 

We have all learned by now not to respond to him when he says things like that.

Louis glanced over at the clock that was on the wall, and sighed. 

“I should probably get going,” he reached into his pocket and took out his wallet. He laid down 15 pounds on the table for his meal. 

We all stood up and gave quick hugs. 

“I’ll see you guys tomorrow.” Louis said waving at us. 

“Bye!” we all waved back.

“I didn’t bring any money down.” Rhylie said guiltily.

“It wouldn’t matter if you did, cause lunch is on us.” Liam said matter of factly. 

“This is so expensive though.” I said looking at all our empty plates. 

“We’ve got the money, so don’t worry about it.” Liam said with a smile. I still felt bad. 

“Hey, desert cart at twelve o’clock.” Niall whispered to nobody in particular. 

We all looked to where Niall was looking and sure enough there was a lone desert cart with nobody watching it. 

“Leave the money on the table and let’s all get up and start to leave, and I’ll try and smuggle some more cream puffs.” Niall explained his plan to us. 

I shook my head. Oh Niall.

Liam and Zayn each left some money on the table to pay for lunch. We all stood up, and discreetly made our way over to the desert cart. 

Niall casually walked up to the cart, and slowly looked around. Nobody was looking. He picked up a full plate of cream puffs that were stacked in a small pyramid, and walked over to us, with a triumphant smile on his face.

“Hey!” someone shouted. 

We looked to the back of the restaurant and saw a man wearing an apron and a nametag come running towards us. 

“Those aren’t free you know!” The man yelled at us. 

Niall shoved the plate into Harry’s arms, grabbed Dallas and yelled “Run!” 

We all went into our separate directions. I saw Dallas, Niall, and Zayn run towards the stairs. I have absolutely no idea where Rhylie and Liam went. Harry and I were running down a hallway. 

“Those puffs cost 20 pounds!” I heard the man faintly a little ways away. 

“Uhh, over here!” Harry said hastily, leading me into a room. It was the gym, we got curious looks from people working out. 

“That plate is limited edition steel, and costs more than your stay here!” the man continued to shout at us. 

“Geez, let it go.” I muttered. 

We ran into another hallway, and then into another room.

It was dark and there were no windows, but we continued to run. 

All of a sudden we fell off a sort of ledge and we were submerged under water. I didn’t even have time to scream, it happened so fast. 

I quickly rose to the surface, and was immediately sent into a coughing fit. I swallowed a bunch of water. 

I heard Harry breathe as he surfaced next to me. I couldn’t see him. It was still completely pitch black dark. 

I heard Harry cough a few times. 

“Are you okay? Where are you?” he asked, splashing around looking for me.

I coughed again. “I’m over here.” I said. 

I could see the dark figure that was his head coming closer to me. 

Out of nowhere his hand started patting my shoulders and then up to my face, trying to see where I was. 

That was when the lights turned on. 

“Ah.” Harry said squinting. My eyes squinted as well, and my face scrunched up. 

As soon as my eyes adjusted to the light I saw the man who was yelling at us earlier was standing in the doorway, completely fuming. 

I looked around and realized we were in the pool. Cream puffs were floating all around us, as well as the limited edition steel plate.

The man stomped over to the edge of the pool, I looked up at him. I was really scared.

“We’re sorr-” I said.

“HAND ME THE PLATE!” he shouted. I winced, his voice echoed off the walls. We were the only ones in here.

Harry swam over to the plate, grabbed it and gave it back to the man. 

The man snatched it, and glared at us. “I expect to see you 2 later in the lobby with 35 pounds to pay for what you did!” 

“Yes sir.” Harry said, looking at the water. I just nodded. 

The man left, muttering profanities.

As soon as the door closed shut, Harry burst into laughter. 

I looked at him, about to scold him for finding amusement in this situation. But when I looked at him, with wet hair, and his expression full of hilarity. I couldn’t help but laugh with him. 

I continued to laugh until I realized I was the only one laughing. 

I stopped and looked at Harry, he was staring at me. 

I chuckled, “What?”

He stared at me for another second, smiled, and said, “Nothing.” 

I grabbed a pastry that was floating near me, and held it up to him.

“Cream puff?” I asked.

He laughed. “I’ll pass.”

I tossed it behind him.

I started to swim towards the little ladder, when Harry grabbed my arm. I turned to look at him questioningly.

“Where are you going?” he asked.

“Uhm, to get out of the pool?” I said obviously. 

“C’mon,” he tugged on my arm a little. “Let’s swim for a bit.” 

My eyebrows knitted together, giving him an ‘are you crazy?’ look. 

“We’re fully clothed.” 

He shrugged. “So? It’s a bit of an adventure.”

“Oh yeah, swimming with all of your clothes on. We’re such rebels.” I said sarcastically.

He just smirked and rolled his eyes at me. 

I sighed. “Guess we should clean up the cream puffs.”

Harry shook his head. “Nah, let the pool cleaners do it.”

He swam towards me, and grabbed my hands underwater. He placed my hand on his shoulder, and his on my waist. He kept our other hands intertwined. He tried to sway us as best as he could in the pool.

“What are you doing?” I asked quietly. My voice was slightly husky.

“Dancing with you.” he replied just as quiet.

I could feel my cheeks heat up because we were so close. 

“You look so pretty when you blush.” I almost didn’t hear him. 

I didn’t want to meet his eyes. I would love to just kiss him right then and there. That’s what my instincts were telling me, but there was still a big elephant in the room I wanted to talk about. 

“You still care for Michelle.” I stated. It wasn’t even a question.

I couldn’t see his expression. But his grip on me tightened slightly.

“How’d you know about her?” he asked a bit louder than how we were talking before.

I finally looked up at him. “You don’t remember what happened at Rhylie, Dallas’s and my birthday party do you?”

He looked slightly nervous. He shook his head. “Sorry about that.”

“It’s alright. Anyways, when we were all around the cake and everything, you, uh, kissed me.” I blushed again. Seriously??!

“And then you called me Michelle.” I finished.

At first he didn’t say anything. 

“Oh my god. I am so, so sorry.” he said.  He sounded really sincere.

“It’s alrigh-” I started to say.

“No, don’t say that.” He let go of my hands and my waist, and we just kind of stayed there in the deep end. Neither of us made a move to get out. 2 cream puffs floated between Harry and I. I suddenly became very interested in them.

I heard Harry sigh. 

“We dated and-” 

“Yeah, I know. After you, you know, did that at the party. I sort of went and asked Liam about it. He explained.” I said, feeling really bad. I shouldn’t have butt in. I always do though. “I’m sorry. Maybe I should’ve talked to you sooner, instead of Liam. I just wanted to know.”

He nodded. “Yeah. I guess you could say I still do really care for her. But we’re over now. I haven’t seen her for a long time, and we’re not even on speaking terms.

“We had one of those relationships, I guess, where everything was going so smoothly. And you both really loved each other. Then something happens, and it’s just all over. Just like that. It’s a shock, is what it is.” He said.

I had a feeling there was more to ‘something happens’ but I didn’t push it. 

“But I apologize for my stupidity at the party.” He ran his hands through his wet hair.

I shrugged. “You were drunk. It’s okay.” I said half-heartedly.

We were completely silent for almost a whole minute. Nobody had come into the pool or even entered the room. 

A few cream puffs had sunk to the bottom of the pool.

“You’re so amazing.” Harry said with a bit of a chuckle. 

I looked at him and made a bit of a face. “How?” 

“Just in the way that you are, you’re funny, cute.” All the while he was saying this, he was swimming closer to me. “Very smart.” he said raising his eyebrows. I laughed slightly. “Not to mention, very beautiful.” he finished. 

I rolled my eyes at him.

“It’s true, Alice.” he said softly. He stared right into my eyes, and swam even closer.

“And, do you know what I think?” he asked me, his face almost an inch away from mine.

“What do you think?” I whisper-asked.

He swam right up into my personal space, and did what my instincts told me to do earlier. And now they were telling me to kiss back. Which obviously I did. 

His hand came up, and cupped the side of my face. 

His lips were so soft, and moved in sync with mine perfectly. He was being so gentle, almost like he was making up for the party kiss.

After what seemed like an eternity, he pulled away.

“I think you should let me take you out tomorrow.” he said, smiling happily. 

Words couldn’t describe the high I was feeling at that moment. All I could do was nod my head vigorously. I must’ve looked like an overly eager moron, but I didn’t care.

His smile became bigger. “Great.” he said, and kissed my cheek. 

This of course goes down as the best day of my life. 

“Now, maybe we should get out of the pool. My hands are turning all pruny.” 

I laughed, and rolled my eyes. He was so quick to change it all from all sappy and romantic to jokes and laughter. 

There was still one more elephant in the room, that I needed to talk about. But certainly not with Harry. And now that I think of it, maybe I shouldn’t have said yes to him. 

I needed to go talk to the person that I wasn’t quite talking to since the night of the party. 

Zayn.

Chapter 28 - Group hug!

Rhylie’s POV

I was currently brushing my teeth, for the 5th time. Just to be sure. 

I rinsed out my mouth, and looked at myself in the mirror. 

My eyes were red and puffy, and cheeks were tear-stained. You could definitely tell I was crying. 

“Hey Rhylie, by any chance, you got any water balloons? Me and Zayn just got a really good idea of what to do on the balcony-” Louis came barging into my room, but immediately stopped talking when he saw my face in the mirror. 

I turned around, faced him, and gave him a weak smile. 

“No we don’t have any water balloons.” My voice sounded dry and hoarse. 

“What happened?” Louis asked sounding extremely concerned. He walked over to me, and put a hand on my arm. “Did Liam do something to you?”

“No! No! He didn’t.” I said right away. 

“What’s wrong?”

I sighed. “I don’t know if I want to talk about it.”

“Well you know, sometimes talking helps. And I happen to be an excellent listener when it comes to people’s problems.” he said smiling encouragingly. 

I sighed again. I didn’t know if I was ready to tell him. But he seemed so caring, and understanding. 

“Are you okay?” he asked. 

I could feel a fresh set of tears on their way. I always crack when someone asks me that. The tears streamed down my face, and I could feel the sobs coming. 

“Hey, hey hey. It’s alright. Here sit down.” he took me over to the bed, and we sat on the edge. “Now what’s wrong, babe?”

I sniffed, and wiped my tears away.

“Has Liam, uh, told you anything about me? Or asked you about your opinion of me? On anything?” I asked him. 

“No. Why?” he asked. 

“Well, he found out something about me, and today he confronted me about it-” I started to say.

“So it technically was something Liam did.” he cut in.

“I guess, but not really. Anyway, so today he confronted me about it, and it was just really hard talking about it.” I could hear my voice cracking. Louis had his arm around me, and he was rubbing my arm. 

“I want to tell you, but I don’t know where to start.” I said.

“Just…start from the beginning.” 

And so I did. I told him everything that I told Liam, and the confront and everything. Every so often I saw his eyes flicker to my wrist with a sad expression. 

“Can I see?” he asked.

I shook my head, as even more tears began to fall down my face. 

“Please don’t tell anybody,” I whispered. 

“Do Alice and Dallas know?” he asked concerned. 

“Well, yeeah, of course they know. But just don’t tell anybody else. Please?” I looked at him.

“I promise.” he said hugging me. 

“Thanks Louis. It was nice to tell somebody else. Out of choice and everything you know? Liam just kind of trapped me, and I didn’t really have a choice to tell him or not. You’re a very good listener.” I said smiling. 

He shrugged. “I’m always here, Rhylie.” 

***

“I don’t want to leave. Let’s just stay here, and not go back!” Dallas exclaimed. 

“Yeah, just move here. The 3 of us.” I said dreamily. 

“You guys going back soon?” Niall asked with his mouth full. 

He just walked into the living room, with an armful of food. 

“Sadly, yes.” Alice sighed.

“It doesn’t seem like you guys have been here that long.” Liam said thoughtfully.

All of a sudden we heard the echo of heels down the hallway. Alice’s mom appeared in the doorway. 

“Girls, can I talk to you for a minute?” she asked. 

“Hi, Alice’s mom!” Zayn and Niall waved.

“Hello, now girls I need to talk to you.” she said sternly. 

“All 3 of us?” Dallas whined, she was cuddling with Niall.

“Yes.” Lori said, with a tone of finality, and she walked off. 

“Oooooh.” Louis said.

“Shut up.” I said, throwing a pillow at him.

“Ugh. Let’s go see what she wants.” Alice groaned, standing up, and following her mom. 

We walked into the hallway, seeing as Lori had a meeting to go to soon.

“Now, don’t get too excited and scream okay?” she asked us. 

“Alright?” Alice said questioningly.

Lori sighed. “My work here is taking longer than I thought it would, so I need an extra week’s time to complete everything.” 

We stared at her.

“So that means…” Dallas trailed off looking at us with a huge grin on her face. 

“We’ll be staying one more week.” Lori said.

We all squealed like a bunch of girls. Oh, wait…

Lori’s watch beeped, she looked down at it and made a slight face. 

“Okay, I’ve got to go, don’t get into any trouble!” she said over her shoulder as she left.

“We won’t!” Alice said. 

I looked at Alice and Dallas expectantly. 

“So…” I trailed off. 

“Let’s go tell them!” Dallas said. “I’m telling them first!”

“No you’re not!” Alice and I said and chased after her. We ran into the hotel room, and straight into the living room.

Liam was on his phone again, cutely, might I add. Harry and Louis were arm wrestling, and Zayn and Niall kept flicking the channels back and forth. 

“Arrggh!” Niall exclaimed. “There’s absolutely nothing on your TV!”

“Well that doesn’t matter right now. Turn it off! We have news.” Dallas said excitedly.

“But we’re just going to turn it back on after, so what’s the point?” Niall asked her.

Dallas narrowed her eyes at him. Niall quickly turned off the TV.

“Okay,” I said clapping my hands together. “So…” I tried to pause for dramatic effect, but I guess someone thought I was taking too long.

“We’re staying one more week.” Alice said simply.

“Alice!” Dallas and I cried.

She just shrugged.

The room filled with over-exaggerated woops and cheers from the guys. Harry did a fist pump.

Louis jumped up and screamed. “Group hug!” and gathered us all in a hug. 

Dallas plopped down on the couch next to Niall. “Now what do we do?”

Silence.

“Nobody say, watch a movie, or I may spontaneously combust.” I cut in to their thinking. Alice chuckled.

“Hhhhhhhhoww abooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut-” Louis never finished his sentence. 

“How about what?” Dallas asked.

“I don’t know. I thought maybe if I dragged it out, it would just come to me.” he said.

“Why don’t we just go down to the restaurant? Then we can figure out what we’ll do later.” Niall suggested.

Everyone agreed.

“Mmmm! I can already hear the chicken calling my name.” Zayn said rubbing his hands together. 

“Weirdo,” Harry muttered.

“Actually later, I won’t be able to hang out with you guys.” Louis said. “I really should get going soon after lunch.”

“Aww! How come?” I asked.

“I want to spend as much time as I can with Eleanor before she heads over to Australia.” Louis said. Either I was mistaken or there was a glint of sadness in his eye.

“Oooh. Who’s Eleanor?” Dallas asked.

Louis smiled like a 5 year old. “She’s my girlfriend. We haven’t really been spending much time together.”

“Oh no. That’s our fault isn’t it!” Alice said upset.

“No, no! It’s not! It’s mostly her job, she works in retail, and her shifts are crazy. They change a lot.”

We made our way down to the lobby, and over to the fancy restaurant they had. 

As we were being taken to our table, there was a man rolling a dessert cart past us. When he wasn’t looking, Niall quickly grabbed a full plate of cream puffs, and Liam took a chocolate éclair. 

Alice, Dallas and I tried to hold in our laughter. 

These guys were a fun time anywhere.
