Chapter Nine: Race

**Lilah's POV**

"AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH. AIN'T NO VALLEY LOW. AIN'T NO RIVER WIDE ENOUGH BABYYY!"

We're all dancing and singing down the rest of the hallway, Louis banging on almost every single door he comes to. Lena and I spin in circles, laughing as we try to sing along with the boys.

Liam rejoins us and put a smile on his face but I can sense there's something wrong. Hello, I'm the biggest Directioner. He can't hide anything from me.

"Take it away Liam!" Louis points at Liam with a wide smile on his face.

Liam sighs but keeps his smile plastered. "If you need me, call me...no matter where you are, no matter how far," he sings quietly, his eyes focused on something distant.

We all stop dancing and laughing, our smiles slowly disappearing. Louis puts his hands on his hips and glares at Liam. "Way to kill the mood."

"Lou, don't be rude," Harry says to the older boy. Louis just shrugs.

Liam shakes his head. "Sorry, I was thinking-"

"-About what?!" Niall throws in.

Liam seems to hesitate. "About...A PIGGY BACK RACE!" Liam suddenly screams. He forces another smile and a loud yell. "Come on, I'll take Jared."

We all exchange glances with eachother. Is Liam going mad?

There's a split moment of silence and then the boys suddenly start screaming as well, jumping up and down excitedly, reminding me of children at a carnival with unlimited tickets.

"Okay to make it fair, two of you need to carry them," Liam points at Lena and I, already moving towards Jared's still form.

"Don't look at me." Niall clutches the box of Oreos to his chest. "Make of them do it." He waves his hand at the other boys.

Lena and I exchange wide-eyed glances. "Oh shit!" She mouths and I have to hold back my fangirl screams. We are about to get on the backs of One Direction.

Zayn goes over to me quickly. "I'll take Lilah," he grins. I grin back.

Harry starts walking towards Lena but Niall steps in front of him. "Come on curly, let's win," he says and Harry nods.

"Looks like it's you and me babe," Louis says to Lena.

When Louis isn't looking, Lena points at him with a wide grin on her face. "OH MY GOD," she mouths. I give her a thumbs up.

Louis and Harry help put Jared on Liam's back. "Okay come on, hurry up," Liam says.

Zayn crouches down and I jump on his back, silently begging to be as thin as Lena. Stupid sports. Stupid athlete.

"Am I too heavy?" I ask Zayn because I feel concerned. My cheeks feel heated at the thoughts of him not being able to carry me.

Zayn laughs. "No way," he says. "Try carrying Niall around. Talk about bricks," he whisper to me and I giggle at the thought.

Lena is on Louis' back and he obviously finds her light as he suddenly dips backwards. Lena squeals and clutches at Louis' shirt. "LOUIS!" She screams.

Louis laughs, adjusting his hold on her.

"Okay are we ready?" Liam asks, looking at us all paired up.

"Wait, you want us to run down the hallways? The hallways aren't that big," Zayn says.

"The hallway is over Zayn," I tell him. I point out the end of the wall of doors to our left.
