Loving my best friend

... okay

"I think I am gonna ask the lads to come over." I spoke aloud. Lilah laid on the couch, looking up at the ceiling with dried tears on her face. She nodded her head. "Okay." I pulled out my phone from my back pocket and dialed my best mate's number even though he is like a door down. Once I pressed the bright green button, I pressed it to my ear. After about 3 rings, he picked up the phone.

"'Ello?" The all-so familiar voice answered. "Hello Louis... Do you mind coming over and bringing the lads along to cheer up Lilah?" There was a short pause. "No... We'll be there in a little bit." "Alright, bye." "Bye." I hung up and put my phone back into my pocket. I walked back into the living room. Lilah was still looking at the ceiling. This time, I seen fresh tears on her face. I will go and get her blanket. I turned around, about to go to my room to get the blanket when she spoke up.

"I was never a bad kid growing up... All the other kids did try to get me into some, very bad things. I love my mother and father, both, to no end. It was so hard for me when she died, like you witnessed. My dad loved her with all his heart, he still loves her. He is torn up about her. Then, my Ex.... and then this, her. She was just so young and little... She didn't deserve this at all. She didn't get to have a life..."

I just stared at her. More tears rolled down her cheeks. I just wanted to hug her, hold her forever. I walked over to her and hugged her. She hugged me back. She sobbed the loudest she ever did. She clutched on to my shirt. "Don't l-leave m-me, too," She cried into my shoulder,"Promise? I c-can't have you l-leave me..." "I promise." At that she cried even louder. "I miss them so much!...but I can never have them back..." I just let her have a healthy cry. We are interuppted by a knock on the door. "That has to be the lads," I said while walking to the door. I looked through the peephole and sure enough, it was the lads.

I opened the door to let them in. First, Louis walked, followed by Zayn. Then, Liam and Niall came in. I led them all to the sofa that was in the living room. Lilah was gone... Probably getting all freshened up. I sat on the other couch with Liam, since the other one was crowded.

I turned on the telly. "What do you lads want to watch?" I asked. "How about 'The Last Man On Earth'?... I haven't gotten to see it yet..." Niall suggested. "Alright," I agreed, switching on Netflix to look for it. Once I found it, I clicked on the only episode.

"Hi," a soft voice. All of the lads, including me, looked up to be met with her brown eyes. "Hi, love," we all said at the same time. She smiled. She walked over and sat by Liam. Her eyes trailed over to the screen. "What is this?" She asked. "The last man on earth," I answered. "Hmm,"she replied. As the hour-episode continued on, I got a call. "I will be right back," I said as I grabbed my phone and headed to the kitchen. The caller ID read 'Red Ed'. I pressed the green button and held the phone to my ear. "'ello?" I answered. "Hi." "So, what's up, Ed?" "Well, I am having this huge party tonight... Taylor will be there--" I made a grimace but kept my mouth shut," Adam Levine... Anyone you can name. Bring anyone, everyone and everything." I thought about it. I think this will probably cheer Lilah up. "Okay, yeah, sounds cool." "Yeah... Well, bye." "Bye."

I hung up and put the phone back into my pocket. I walked back into the living room. "Who wants to go to a party tonight?" I asked aloud. "Me," Niall said. "Me," everyone else said except for Lilah. "So? Lilah?" She looked at me. "Umm... I don't think so..." "Oh, come on," Louis begged. "It will be fun," I added. She huffed. "I don't want to." "Please?" Zayn begged. "Please?" Niall said also. She sighed. "Umm... Okay." "Yay!" We all yelled. "So... What time does it start?" She asked. I looked at my phone. I got a message from Ed. It told me where it is; his house, what time; around 9, and some other people who will be there; Rhianna, Selena Gomez and some of his friends. "Around 9," I answered. "What time is it now?" She asked. "Like 10." She nodded. "Well, it literally takes me forever to get ready... So... Who wants to help me look for something to wear at that boutique on 122nd street? All I have are skinny jeans, tank tops, and shirts in my closet..." I, Louis and Niall raised our hands. "I will only go if you buy me food, anything I want," Niall said. She sighed but nodded. "What about you guys?" She asked Liam and Zayn. "We don't really like to shop," They answered. "Okay... What ever you want to say," she said sarcastically. They both smiled slightly.

"Let me get my keys and phone and we can go," she said, getting up and walking to get the things she needed. A minute later, she came back. "We are taking my car," I said. "Okay," she accepted. Lilah walked ahead of Louis, Niall and I. I couldn't help but stare at her arse and the way her hips moved when she walked. Louis bumped me with his elbow. "Harry, I see where your eyes are looking at," he teased. I smirked but continued to stare. She turned around. "Can I have your car keys?" She asked. I was caught red-handed and my cheeks turned bright red. I was hoping she didn't notice how my trailed up to her face, away from her hips when she turned around. "Yeah," I replied and threw my keys to her. She caught them and turned around to unlock the doors. She put the car key into the driver's side key hole. Once she unlocked it, she opened it, and pressed a button so all the other doors could be unlocked.

She hopped in and then we did. "To the boutique, we go," she said.

"I don't know... That navy blue one looks good on you, but also the purple one," Louis said to Lilah. "I like the blue one," I said. "Me, too," Niall agreed. "I like the blue one the most, too," Lilah said. Louis huffed, "Fine... The blue dress." Lilah brought the dress to the counter. "Wait... Do you have any heels?" I asked. "Oh yeah," she said. "Don't worry," Louis said and held up a pair of black heels. She examined the heels. "Good job, Lou," she said. Louis put them on the counter, along side the dress. Once I paid for it, we headed back home.
