(Nialls POV )
Emma is pacing the cell, looking frustrated. I'm sitting against the walls, watching her. She really is beautiful.
"Relax Emma." I smile at her when she turns to glare at me. "Louis will be here soon."
She shakes her head at my smile, but I can see she's about to smile herself. "Niall, we just got arrested."
I giggle at that and she just stares at me. I wonder what she's thinking. Probably that m giggle is the most unmanly thing she has ever heard. But somehow that thought doesn't discourage me.
"Emma, I sang in a supermarket without a shirt on and you stole seven bags of candy hearts. Even if we went to court, the jury would not be able to keep a straight face." I point out. She shakes her head, smiling at me.
"You're too optimistic for your own good." She comes and sits next to me against the wall. I smile as she takes my hand in her own, examining my fingers.
"Maybe I should kiss you. That worked last time someone held us captive." I joke and she laughs.
"I don't think the police will respond that way Niall." She points out. I shrug mischievously.
"Its worth a try." I lean over and kiss her gently. Just as I pull away, I here a guard open the hallway door and in walk Louis and a guard. I laugh.
"See Emma, I told you it would work." I stand helping her to her feet as Louis gives us a strange look. The guard is glaring at us.
"This man claims to be your brother. He paid bail, so you are free to go." He mutters bitterly, unlocking the cell. I laugh and hug Louis the second the cell opens. He hugs back a little bit shockedly.
"Hey Niall." He replies, pulling away. I return to Emma's side. Louis begins to lead us out of the building.
"Thanks for coming Louis. How much was the bail? I'll pay you back. So who did you tell I got arrested? Is management gonna be mad? I bet they are. Do you know f there are any pictures of Emma and I online? Is Liam mad. Gosh, is Zayn panicking? He's been so worried about me lately, and I just kind of left. Did I miss anything important? Didn't you have a date with Elenor today? Is Harry gonna love me for interrupting that? What have you guys been doing? Has management been yelling at you about me?" I ramble. Louis laughs as he unlocks his car.
"One question at a time mate." He insists. Emma is laughing silently as she climbs into the backseat. After a moment of deliberation, I sit up front with Louis.
"Did any pictures leak?" I ask impatiently as Louis starts driving.
"Niall, you and Emma have basically taken over the internet." He admits. I laugh.
"Managements gonna love that." I say. Louis shakes his head.
"They're gonna freak. But they're mad at me too, so maybe we can bear their anger together." He smiles and I tilt my head.
"Why are they mad at you?" I ask. His face falls. He curses before speaking.
"I forgot you were asleep for that whole fiasco." He admits. "And its kind of hard to explain. Check my Twitter if you really want to know."
I reach for my phone before remembering I don't have it. Louis notices this and hands me his phone. It isn't hard to get past his password, harryedwardstyles. Its a nice reminder of just how in love those two are. As soon as I get onto Twitter, my eyes widen at the most recent thing that Louis has tweeted. Its a picture. I really hope Emma dissent see this.
"Did you take the picture?" I ask, my voice soft.
"Please don't be mad Niall!" He quickly begs. "I did take the picture, but I didn't mean to make you mad."
I give his phone back, struggling to keep a serious look on my face. Finally I break down and laugh. Louis looks over at me as he stops the car.
"Are you okay Niall?" He asks. I nod.
"I'm fine Louis. Lets go inside, yeah?" I suggest, still giggling as I help Emma out of the car. Louis nods, grabbing his keys before leading us the stairs. About halfway up, Emma gets tired and I decide to carry her. She stares at me as I scoop her up in my arms.
"You looked tired," I explain, humming slightly to myself. I'm moving quickly up the stairs and it takes a moment fir Louis to catch up with the key. As soon as the door is open, I'm bounding inside. I set Emma down on the living room floor. Everyone is staring at us as Louis walks in.
"I found Niall." He comments, setting his keys on the table.
"Hi everyone!" I Add in the silence that follows. Liam looks surprised, Zayn looks relieved, Harry looks shocked, Will is smiling and Maya looks confused.
"Where were they?" Liam finally asks.
I look over at Louis, silently begging him not to tell Liam. Sadly, he doesn't seem to notice.
"I picked these two lovebirds up from jail." He admits. I glare at him, but a smile is forming on my face. Liam looks shocked.
"What?" He turns to me. "What did you do?"
I giggle like a child. "I sang in a store. But I wasn't in a shirt. And Emma tried to get away with seven bags of candy hearts." Both Emma and I are laughing now. It was just the stupidest thing. Everyone was staring at us.
"The store isn't pressing charges against them, thank God." Louis adds as we laugh uncontrollably. Liam is watching us intently.
"You think they'll be okay later? Cause we are gonna have to face management sometime. Does he know about that?" Liam asks. I assume he's talking about the picture I had seen and it makes me laugh Even harder. Emma isn't laughing anymore, But that's okay.
"He saw the one of him and Emma. I didn't tell him about the Harry and I one yet." Louis says. I don't really take in that he had been lying to me as I stop laughing. I'm just curious.
"What else?" I ask, looking over at them. Louis looks to Liam who shrugs.
"May as well show him while he is like this. He'll just laugh." Liam talks about me as though I'm not there. I put on a very serious face just to prove him wrong. Louis fiddles with his phone for a moment before holding it up to show me. I see that Twitter is open, to Harrys account this time. His most recent post is a picture of Louis and Harry kissing. I smile.
"You two finally came out!" I grin, but it soon changes into a frown. "Management is really gonna be mad."
Louis shakes his head. "No kidding. But I have a present for you." My eyes light up. A present?
Louis tosses me a bag of candy hearts and I grin, showing Emma. She laughs and places an arm around my shoulders. I'm almost certain that I'm not supposed to hear what she says next.
"You are too cute for you're own good sometimes, you know that?" But her words only make me smile more.
Figure out what chapter this is on your own time. SNOW DAY !!!!
