Her Name is...

Chapter 25

AN// For context they are already on the Up all Night tour which started December 18th 2011 and will end July 1st 2012. In this chappy they're talking about the Take me Home tour (February 23 2013- November 3 2013)

We ate leftover pizza for brunch, and then everybody fought over the showers like I had predicted. I let them squabble over the order of showers and started walking back to my room. Louis however, seemed to have other plans. He slid around the corner excitedly grabbing me by the elbow and pulling me into his room. Which was already strewn about with clothing. They had only been there a few days, this man was a disaster. 

"What what?" I laughed as he grinned at me excitedly. 

"Sooo..." he said raising his eyebrows as if I knew what he was trying to hint at. 

"Soooo...." I replied back. Louis let out an annoyed huff, 

"What did you say?" he asked. He was bouncing on his toes the way my little sister did when she had to pee. I had no clue what he was talking about, but he seemed to think I did. 

"About what?" I asked him. I was starting to get antsy, I hated being so confused, I wanted him to just spit it out. 

"About tour you idiot, Harry said he was asking you last night" Louis blurted out, "I know you've got your big school plans but you can always do that later...."he continued babbling as I pieced together what he meant. 

"Wait" I cut him off. I pressed my hands to my face trying to make sense of what Louis was talking about. Was Harry going to ask me to go on tour with them? That seemed drastic, I didn't want to say it and make myself look stupid. But what else would Louis have been talking about? I couldn't go on tour with them. I knew they had roughed out the dates for their second tour already, they started off right when second semester would start. My mom would kill me. My grandma would kill me. Hell, I'd kill me for messing up the one thing I had been working towards for so long. My life had always been crazy, but there were a few certain things. 

1. I would get a highschool diploma

2. I would go to university

I was half a year away from accomplishing number 1. There were only two things I was ever expected to do, it wasn't that hard to only do two things. I wasn't about to throw the only stability i'd ever had out the window. But I was getting ahead of myself. Maybe the boys wanted me to join them in the summer, that made sense, maybe they wanted my input on their outfits, but they had stylists. But why would Louis be bringing up school if Harry wasn't about to ask me to skip it. Fuck. 

"Harry hasn't said a thing to me about tour. But you're gonna spill it all" I told Louis. His face turned red and he made an audible gulp, it was like a scene from a cartoon. I backed him onto the edge of the bed where he plopped down eyes flitting between his hands and the floor. 

"Listen- ah-Noelle, it's really Harry who we nominated to talk to you about it considering your relationship, I think-" he stumbled. 

I stepped back sitting on the table of the vanity and trying my best to look intimidating. I had already changed for the boys interview. Black skinny jeans and a dark blue jumper, I was trying to blend in with the monochromatic and black vibe everybody seemed to wear around here. I did what my teachers used to in grade school, I just looked at him silently. He cracked. Thank god. 

"We wanted to see if you wanted to come on tour with us next year, and push back university, and we know that school means a lot to you, but we... but this is an opportunity to travel, and you can work on the crew if you want cause we know you'd get bored-"

"you're asking me to work for you?" I asked him. That sounded like a horrible idea. 

"Noelle, it's no biggie" Louis said. He seemed to have recovered from his nervousness and had stood up from the bed to put a hand on my shoulder. "It's just an offer, you don't 'ave to take it or anything. And we meant that you'd hang with us, travel, make some money, add to that impressive resume 'a yours"
