The Band Next Door

Chapter 12 - More like "Drummer GIRL" (PART 3)

(Sam's POV)

Oh my gosh. This world is SO screwed. The moment things seem to work out, BAM! But leave it to luck or fate or kismet or whatever that is...to find a way and Nikita agreed...AW SHIT, SUCKERS, HERE WE COME TO ROCK THE WORLD AND SET THE STAGE ON FIRE!!!

Ohkay...I might just a tad bit carried away but hell, guess after going through so much slavery a celebration is obvious. So here is what we do: We had an awe-some sleepover. Which is not really considered a sleepover since exactly 42 minutes later we, Louis to be precise, feels the need to celebrate for real. So here is what we really do:

We go to the new pub that has just opened up. I'm not really the biggest fan of alcohol but hey...I deserve a few beers.

The only problem was the fact was: Nikita and Karmen. I mean I love those chicks, but dammit, ain't they underage. So what happened next was completely and totally an eye widening incident: The lads offered to sneak there ladies in. Obviously Kaylie, Karmen and Tori were all in their night suits. But guess my extra clothes do some good sometimes. Plus the fact that Tanner was going crazy...like a wimp actually, going on about how his innocent little sister shouldn't be drinking and stuff. She had to confirm to her brother that her 18th was just round the corner. I had to sell her by telling him that she wouldn't really drink (hard at least) and by midnight we would be outta the pub as if we were cats and dogs were after us. Okay...I get it. I suck with analogies! Shit!

But what really counts is: Tanner agreed.

Karmen and Zoey were though a bit sceptical. Karmen didn't feel like taking risks and Zoey was just, rather IS just way too good.

Moving on...after that was settled Harry and Niall took them, alone, in order to sneak em' in. They'd been to the pub already...Mr Smart-pants. Obviously we could even have avoided the bouncers and shit and gotten direct entry...coz' of one direction! But hey, then everyone would get to know that 1D was at the pub and we wouldn't get to chill in peace. At least they wouldn't. As for the ID's, here is something new. They use their fake one's all the time. The IDs in which Niall's hair is red and eyes brown. You can imagine a similar case scenario but the rest too. Plus here is the surprise...they did this a lot.

Moving on...we entered the pub. Only to confront no Harry or Nikita. AND no Karmen and Niall. Liam and Tori offered to help in finding them. We let the two go only to know that they weren't coming back anytime soon.

"Can we call Zoey?" Louis piped up.

"I wish but you know her." I replied and instantly he wore a dejected expression on his face. 3 lads down...2 to go. Aw shit....seems like Zayn would be my only company. Not that I mind. Tanner would be there...somewhere. I couldn't really see him.

(Exactly 43 seconds later...)

"F*** it! She ain't no coming!" Louis shouted, attracting some attention.

"What up, mate?" Zayn asked as he took a swig of his mojito.

"Just f*** it dude!"

Wow! I have NEVER seen Louis THIS angry...like ever. And that is the moment realization took over.

"Aw...she isn't coming?" I asked sarcastically. Niall had stayed home with his girl but Louis had been acting a bit indifferently. He must've thought that she was just kidding and would follow, but well...she didn't.

"Nope!"

"Duh?!" I hate this expression but I swear it was the only relevant one at the moment.

"Screw it. But what do I do, Sam?" and how could I say no. that would simply be brutal. He had that puppy look on his face which was almost impossible to argue with.

"Go, get her champ." I told him and threw my car keys at him. I hurriedly barked the address of her house and he vanished immediately.

"That. Was. Fast." I said.

"Totes" Zayn said, mimicking a mean girl, Rose Ellen I think.

I gave him the 'WTH' look and then spotted my knight in shining armour. You know who!

"I'd be back...soon." I told them and left without even seeing their expression.

Last time I checked, Tanner had gone to the loo. Now he seemed to be looking in the crowd, clueless. I approached him as soon as I could.

"Hey" I shouted over the crowd. When he spotted me, a natural smile came onto his already handsome face. Wow...he was perfect.

Sam, control.

"Where's everyone?" he asked as he neared me.

"Gone" I replied vaguely. If I started explaining everybody's where-abouts then there was no way that I was getting some quality time with him. Plus if it is not already noticeable...we haven't been able to spend much time together.

When we reached the other corner of the pub, Tanner surprised me by taking my wrist. Not in a harsh way, because he can NEVER be harsh, but gently.

"Whaa?" I asked over the crowd.

"I need to talk to you." He said and led me towards an empty corner.

Oh my gosh, was this the moment. Was he really gonna man up and ask me out. Make my dream come true. Don't get me wrong, I'm not obsessed with him. I've just be dreaming about this day since four years now. I started liked him after 3 to 4 years of knowing him. Let's not get into that though, coz' I'm never gonna shut up otherwise.

"Yes, Tanner?" I asked, holding my breath.

"I asked Kaylie out."

Excuse me...what?!

The world came crashing down on me when reality finally sunk in.

"Screw you." I said, in a whisper actually (I don't even think he heard me) and fled.
