Crazy But True (Niall Horan FanFic)

Chapter 8

Chapter 8:

About 30 minutes later we were all showered and dressed, our makeup on and our purses together. "I'm so hungry!" Alex exclaimed, huffing out a breath as she sat down on the edge of the bed while we waited for Niall to say he was here. Luckily the text from Niall came within two minutes later of Alex's outburst. We were soon downstairs and in Niall's car, me in the passenger's seat and Alex and Brianna were in the backseat.

Niall took my hand in his free one as he drove, "So are you ready to meet them?" I bit my lower lip and glanced down at my hands, "I'm nervous... What if they don't like me or think I'm not good for you?" Niall scoffed, "That's not going to happen babe. They'll love you."

"Yeah, think of the positive Elanna. Why wouldn't they like you?" Brianna said to try to calm my nerves as Niall nodded in agreement. "Who isn't going to like you?" Alex asked. "No, they are going to like her Alex." Brianna said, shaking her head. "Who are we even talking about!?" Alex asked, throwing up her hands. "The boys!" Brianna exclaimed, rolling her eyes.

Alex froze, her jaw dropping slightly. "Alex...?" Brianna said as she stared at her. "The b-b-boys?" Alex choked out, "One Direction? Liam? Niall? Harry? Louis? ...Zayn?" Niall looked at Alex in the rearview mirror. "Yes..." He said slowly, "Except you've already met me."

Alex's eyes widened and she took in a sharp, squealy breath. "Nooo no no no no. No." She said firmly, "I'm sorry no I ca- HAHAHAH. Ohhhh god. Good one Niall! Woo - he's a real hoot!" I looked back at Brianna, sharing a look with her as Alex started to freak out. "Why would you say that Niall? It's not funny. Nope. I'm not laughing. Are you laughing Brianna? How about you Elanna? Holy shaaaat!"

"What's happening?" Niall whispered. "Alex, calm down." I said, looking at her. "Calm down? She wants me to calm down. Calm down?! Why didn't you fucking tell me we're on the way to meet the boys!" Alex exclaimed and Brianna and I furrowed our eyebrows. "We did tell you." Brianna said, but as she said so I realized that we hadn't. "Oh... crap! We meant to tell you but you were in the shower when Niall told us about lunch!" I said quickly.

Alex began to convulse in the backseat of the car and sputter out random noises. Niall's eyes widened and he glanced back at Alex. "What do we do?? She's freaking out!" Niall exclaimed, "I killed her! I'm sorry Alex, I should've told you that they were going to be at the restaurant."

We heard her yanking at the handle and I looked back as she tried unsuccessfully to open the car door. "Let me out! I can't meet them, I'm gonna lose my cool and Zayn'll think I'm a freak!" Alex screamed and rubbed her hands down her face. "We used to have tumblrs dedicated to One Direction! My URL was dedicated to Zayn! Elanna's to Niall! We're tumblr directioners!" She continued to scream.

"Tumblrs?" Niall raised an eyebrow at me and I blushed. "Uhm... Yeah. Alex, I didn't tell him that part." I said. "Ohhhhh," Alex laughed, "Yeep Nialler boy - tumblr tumblr tumblr! Mine was love is amazayn with hyphens in between each word! But I changed it! Yessirree I changed it to letmalik-yazayn!" She continued to spaz in the back, practically trembling. "Don't forget Elanna though! We got in-da-niall with hyphens and then we got that changed to harrygoddamnedstyles! Did you change it to a 3rd one? Oh who the hell cares!"

"Okay Alex, breathe." Brianna said soothingly, rubbing Alex's back. "Let me ouuut!" Alex howled. "Should I stop the car?" Niall asked me and I quickly shook my head, "No no no, do not stop the car - just go." Alex laid across Brianna in the back, gasping loudly as she flailed. "Oh my god.." I said, shaking my head.

"I'm not dressed for this... I'm not dressed! I might as well be naked!!" Alex screeched from the back. "You look fine." I said as Brianna said, "Alex, you look sexy as hell and gorgeous." "I REFUSE to go in! Just let me out here - I'll wait on the streets till after! Or take me back!" Alex said frantically, "I need to change! Why didn't anyone warn me?! I would've have picked something better to wear!"
