They Don't Know About Us

Chapter 20

YAYYY Chapter 20! It's like a checkpoint or something eh? I'm not too sure myself buttt it doesn't really matter.

I've been meaning to post lately but you'll learn I can be a slacker andd my laptop dies at some of the worst times...Like right now. And then while plugging it in you spill over a stack of your brother's stuff and get to pile it back up before racing back since you realized you never saved even though you've only typed part of the author's note. Yep I'm a loser..

Well enjoy!!

"Harr," I start, a smile lighting my lips as I sense his scowl; I'd been calling him a lot of weird things lately. "Diall Eleanor for me." I toss him my phone since I am driving. 

"Uhhh? I don't know your password?" He begins typing random numbers in and I want to snatch the cracked peice of crap from his hands but again, I'm driving. I'm gonna be the responsible, big kid one. Hah, while I'm behind the wheel at least. 

"Liam?" I ask and get a grunt in return. He takes my Iphone from Harry and enters the password quick, as if so Harry wouldn't see it. It rings in his ear as he laughs.

"Dang, you still haven't told me how you got it cracked this bad." I blush bright red and bite my lip focussing on the turn I was making. Zayn makes an exagerrated coughing noise from the back of the car and I scowl at the slushy road.

"Court might just be keeping us out on a little secret." Zayn jokes but I see Harry stiffen and want to tell him it's not what he thinks. "So I drop by the other day since she'd left her textbook in Liam's bag and am greeted by the lovely picture of Courtney "Dropping it while it's hot-" That's what you called it right?" He doesn't wait for my response which held just a couple choice words that I know everyone would approve of. "To Want You Back and thenn The Wobble came on." 

"Maybe we should bring you onstage sometime and you can give us and the fans some pointers eh??" Louis says evilly and I can only imagine the grin lighting his features.

Everybody's roaring with laughter and I pull over harshly to the side of the road. 

"Zayn Malik!" I skip his middle name knowing I'd mess it up somehow and everybody would be laughing all over again. "We stop the story here. OK? Ok. End of story I didn't know he was there, he scared me, I'd been holding my phone, and pop goes the wheasel. I dropped it and it cracked." I fold my arms, having turned around in my seat to look them all straight in the eyes.

I expect all of them to drop dead any minute from holding in all their laughter. Everyone's face has turned colors except for Emily who's face is suprisingly smug. "I always knew you could dance." She states, smirking and I raise an eyebrow almost in confusion. 

Harry lets out a whine along with Zayn and I roll my eyes yet again. Liam's face is bright and entertained, he hands me the phone. "Eleanor enjoyed the story too." I want to him upside the head but as he leans in reaching my mind wanders to kissing instead. 

Taking the phone, cute giggling fills my ears. "Girls night tonight?" She agrees through her laughter. "The guys can go to rehearsal AND DANCE THEIR LITTLE BUTTS OFF FOR ALL I CARE." I shoot daggers at all of them but can't keep a straight face when Liam gives me a pat on the back.

I hang up and realize Harry hasn't made any snarky comments and turn to him confused. "He hasn't said anything offensive! Harry are you alright?!" I bring my hand to his forehead to find it actually burning. "Woah dude, feels like you have a temp."

He shrugs, avoiding my eyes as I pull back onto the road. I sigh at this and the rest of the drive to their place in uneventful.

*****

I slam the door, getting out even though I'm not going in. Niall and Emily say goodbye behind me as I walk to the other side of the car. He kisses her cheek as they whisper to eachother and I can hear the quiet laughter echoing around me.

Shaking my head, I watch Harry stumble up the short spiral stairs to the house and he almost looks drunk. I haven't seen him drunk, yet. But from the rest of the band, it's quite a sight. Eleanor flys past him and into Louis's arms. I smile, cathcing the joy radiating off them all and try to use it as my own.

"Have fun tonight." Liam's whisper startles me as he leans in to kiss my forward. My heart does it's little jig like always but worse this time. So. Much. Worse. 

"You too." I say, gazing up at him before he turns to go into the house with Zayn. My shoulder's slouch as soon as he's out of sight and I wonder if he knows what we're really doing tonight. He seems to always know something he shouldn't.

**************************************************************************************************

"This one?" Emily's quiet voice causes Eleanor and me to turn. My jaw drops at the gown. It's the one. After spending almost 2 hours digging through all the dresses I have Emily has found the perfect one for her. One down, two to go.

It hangs on her petite figure beautifully, a crystal V strap holding it up around her kneck. The wave of fabric around her feet is black but fades to grey, then white and blue. It made her eyes pop and her skin sparkle. 

"It's perfect." I whisper as we both rush forward to take her in closer. El nods in agreement, unable to form words as she makes Em twirl for her.

"I think I've found mine too but-" She laughs through a sigh, rolling her eyes. "Seeing you now makes me feel bad!"

"Oh nonsense!" Em and me protest together before she continues. "Just go put it on so we see!!" I love how excited they both get when for me I think the whole dressing up is kind of a pain. I mean, I play the piano all the time in jeans and sweaters but now we all have to be all fancy. I laugh at my thoughts as Eleanor walks back out of my closet. 

"And here's yours.." She hands me a silver gown that I can't take my eyes off of. I have a little war inside my head before sense wins and I glance up at her. She's gorgeous as always, but the fit of her dress accents it even more. 

"Perfect." I say as Eleanor begins twirling and giggling with Em. I smile crookedly, knowing this night might just be hell for me. Might as well look good....
