They Don't Know About Us

Chapter 18

Greetings people of Earth!! Haha well so I've kinda sliced up my thumb pretty bad thanks to ice cream and faulty utencils. Anywho this took me a whileeee to type so SAVOUR every word and I just spelled that wrong but I don't know if I'm gonna fix it now cuz my finger throbs!!!! :(

Cut me some slack with my typos thenn please!

He didn't leave my side all night, Liam. This alone would have delighted me if it wasn't out of pity. The concern in his eyes is bright and overshadows everything else. Harry's eyes look the same and I wonder when we'll be able to talk private about the kiss. 

Liam gives me a nudge in the side and I blink, joining in the laughter immediatly even though I'm unsure what we're all giggling over. "Huh?" I whisper-grunt to Li and he laughs softly into my hair, leaning into me.  My heart does it's normal arobic routine at this but I don't bother shooshing it-I hope they all can hear. I hope they all can feel my pain.

I internally slap myself and my gaze finds Harry's as Zayn starts chugging a gallon of boiled icecream. I have to admit it was a pretty good dare on Emily's part. I only see it out of the corner of my eye though as Harry and I try to have a conversation through eye movements.

We both give up after a minute or two and give in to watching Zayn's pained expression. 

"I'm gonna be a good friend and say you can be done-you've drank at least 3/4s of it." Emily's expression is smug as she sinks back down into the coach, curling herself to Niall's side and he whispers something in her ear. Her smirk grows as she tosses the timer to Eleanor and he pecks her cheek softly. Her startling blue eyes catch mine then and her face turns rosey again.

Damn they'd have some pretty blue eyed kids.

The next thing I know everybody around me's dying of laughter and I can tell from the two blue eyed love birds I must've spoken my thoughts aloud. Oops.

I giggle, embarassed, and flash Em a "my baddd" look. She was about to shoot me daggers but I was saved by Louis jumping in between us.

"I want to go mattress surfing!!!" He screams and Eleanor whacks him with the Monopoly board in the butt. He grabs his cheeks dramatically, continueing to squeel nonsense about how she could have dented the god given wonder somehow. She whacks him again as he orders her to kiss it in apology.

"Oh get over yourself." She winks before rolling her eyes and we're all sent off into fits of laughter. 

"Woahhh..." I blink after glancing at the clock. "It's almost 2.." They all turn in unison to check the time too and I'm a little creeped out at how they all pulled it off at the exact same time.

"We should really go then..." Liam's voice in my ear startles me and my hands raise instantly, preparing myself to fight off them in zombie form. Yeahh I needed to find a new hobby besides Doctor Who and The Walking Dead..

Everyone's shoulders droop at the thought of leaving and I'm honored that they don't want to leave.

"Awww shucks-Sleepover?!?" I'm tackled down into a dog pile in agreement. My body isn't crushed like I expected though, someones huddled over me, using their own body as a cage around me. "Dieing down heree!" I moan and they file off, Harry going last. The feel of his strong arms around me, protecting me, doesn't leave with him though.

"What do we do now?" Emily blinks around at all of us, sitting criss cross applesauce. We all follow her lead and soon enough we look like a group of Indians sitting round a campfire. Campfire...

Campfire.

I see the lights connect in all of their heads at the same time and leap into the kitchen to distract before any of them can set my house on fire.
