Invisible String || H.S

Chapter 27

(The picture at the top is Evelyn's outfit for the concert minus the glasses :-)

I stare out the window as I see the ground grow closer and closer as the plane descends. My heart feels like it's beating just as fast as this plane is moving. Putting my headphones and book back into my bag I prepare for landing as I hear the captain come over the intercom to let us know that we will be touching down shortly. Checking the time on my phone, realization sinks in that I'm in Washington and I'll be going to Harry's concert in three hours. 

As the plane touches down I take in the sight of Washington as we taxi to the gate of the plane. Everyone stands as the seatbelt sign is turned off and the plane comes to a stop at its gate. I wait for the people in my row to exit before I stand and grab my carry-on and head for the door. Making my way through the airport I text Niall to let him know that I've landed since he's the one picking me up. He texts me three minutes later to let me know that he's outside in a red car. 

After scanning the numerous cars in line also waiting on their arrivals I finally spot Niall getting out of a red Subaru. He gives me a hug followed by a very enthusiastic hello before he takes my bag and puts it in the trunk of the car. I head to the passenger side and quickly get in, and soon after I see Niall hop back into the driver's seat. We make small conversation as we head to the hotel that I'm staying in and my head is glued to the window for most of the ride as I take in the sight of Washington before me. Niall can't stop telling me about how excited he is for the concert tonight. Apparently, a lot of their really good friends are going to be there, a couple even flew in from England. 

We pull up to my hotel about fourteen minutes later and he helps me unload and waits by my bag as I check-in at the front desk. I get my keys and motion for him to head to the elevator and I follow him in. Once inside I press the button for the 15th floor and feel the elevator start to ascend. Niall is still talking about tonight, more specifically the after-party that's happening at Harry's label after the show. We find the door to my room and I quickly let us in. 

Niall lets out a low whistle as we walk in and I make a mental note to thank my dad later for paying for this hotel as a part of one of my Christmas gifts.  

"What time do we need to leave here to get to the concert on time?" I ask as I start to open up my suitcase and unload the outfit I'll be wearing and the stuff I need in order to straighten my hair. 

"It'll take us about thirty minutes to get to the venue so I reckon we should leave here in about two hours, maybe a little sooner," Niall says while plopping himself down on the couch and reaching for the tv remote. 

"Well by all means make yourself comfy," I say jokingly. "It might take me a while to get ready so I'll start now," I say while gathering my stuff to head to the bathroom. Hopping into the shower I quickly rinse off and wash my hair. Once out, I get straight to work on my hair and makeup. By the time I'm finished with both of those things I'm nearing an hour and a half and I know we need to be leaving soon. 

"Oye Evie might need to start wrapping everything up, gotta take into account traffic and all that," Niall says from outside the bathroom. Hurridly, I put on the outfit I picked out and give myself a once-over in the mirror. Once pleased with everything I step out into the room. 

 Niall lets out a low whistle when he sees me and a blush creeps onto my cheeks. 

"Harry is one lucky man," Niall says while standing up. 

I let out a small laugh as I jokingly roll my eyes. Reaching for my coat I quickly put it on and follow that up with my shoes. Niall does the same and I double-check to make sure that I have my hotel key in my wallet before we walk out the door.
