Butterflies

Chapter 11

Addison’s POV

After a while, the car ride didn’t seem that bad. The boys singing got my mind off my fears. That reminded me that I didn’t thank them for backing me up in Simon’s office. I nudged Harry and he smiled to show that he was listening.

“I forgot to thank you for singing backup yesterday,” I said and he just looked at me confused.

“What are you talking about? We weren’t singing, it was all you and you sounded great!”

I paused. “Then who did I hear if you guys weren’t singing?” 

Then I realized it. My dad and I heard Unfaithful on the radio and then we found a piano. Because I’m one of those people who can hear music and then play it back, I started to play it and my dad started to sing. That was the picture I had in my head while I was playing.

“I must have been imagining it.” I muttered.  

We pulled into the mall parking lot to see a huge building. We found a parking place but it was pretty far away so we had to walk. Paul was not far behind us keeping watch as we walked into the mall and over to a map.

“It looks like the dress shop is over here.” Liam said pointing to the map. “We are here and need to get over that way.” He motioned to his right.

“Well then let’s go!” Louis said started walking that way.

“OH MY GOD!! IT’S THEM!!!” a distant shout yelled.

The boys stopped in their tracks. “Oh forgot about that part.” Zayn said as four girls ran up them. Paul got into a frenzy and tried to stop the girls.

“It’s ok. Just for a little while?”  Niall asked Paul.

“Fine, only for a few minutes.” Paul answered.

 These girls looked to be about 14-15 and they were completely overwhelmed with the boys. The boys signed stuff for them and took pictures. One girl was spazzing out because she got to fun her fingers through Harry’s hair. The boys just smiled like they were enjoying making their girls happy. I stood next to Paul watching the hullabaloo.

After a few minutes of hugs, screams and tears of joy the boys finally had to say goodbye to their fans.

“We haft to go find our dear friend here a dress.” Louis motioned to me. The group of girls turned their attention to me and I just smiled and waved shyly.

“Who is she?”

“Did he say friend? Better just be.”

“I hope she’s not dating one of them.”

“Shut up, she’s kind of pretty. But not as pretty as Zayn.”

The girls just whispered to themselves as the boys gave final goodbyes and hugs. We starting walking back in the direction we started.

“Do you ever get used to all this?” I asked to no one in particular.

“It was hard at first.” Answered Niall.

“But then it started getting pretty common.”  Zayn added.

“And then hard to kind of get away from.” Shrugged Liam. 

“But is sometimes fun. We’re here!” Louis said walking into the store. It was huge and as soon as you walked in you got a hit of bright sparkles and there were dresses everywhere you look. I didn’t know where to start. But Louis helped out with that. “So what dress size are you?” he asked.

“Um, I don’t know. I’m not much of a dress wearer.” I replied.

“Well it looks like you would be either a size 4 or 6, that’s where we can start.” He turned to the rest of the boys who looked as stunned as I did. “Ok lads, go find pretty dresses in sizes 4 or 6.” He walked off smiling.
