Double Act (A One Direction Fanfiction)

Chapter Nineteen: Wicked Witch of Wotsit-Land

Double Act - Chapter 19

~~ Louis' P.O.V ~~

"Louis? Lou!" A hand was being waved in front of my face. I shook my head to wake myself up a little before my gaze caught on the perfectly manicured hand being shoved in my face. I turned my head slightly, my eyes widening in shock slash horror. The last person I expected to see sat next to me, her orange face plastered in to a cruel smile. What the hell was she doing here?

I groaned loudly, and ran a hand through my messy brown hair. "What are you doing here, Jen?" I snapped, glaring at the girl in front of me. She giggled and slapped my arm playfully, putting on her fake girly act.

"Nice to see you too, boo bear!" she smiled, putting a hand on my knee. I quickly smacked her arm away, shuffling away from the orange mess in front of me.

"Perhaps your extensions were blocking your ears," I snarled, standing from the sofa. "I said, what are you doing here?"

I didn't even try and hide my hatred. I speak for all of the boys when I say that Jennifer is a horrible person. She broke Niall's heart when she cheated on him with some other boy, ruined Zayn's relationship with Perrie when she announced that they were dating to some newspaper, and then almost ruined Harry's career when she made it 'official' that he was going solo. Liam was only safe because of Danielle, who continuously made sure Jen was aware that Liam was off limits.

She giggled again, this time a little less playfully. "Come on now, Louis!" her eyes glared through the fake eyelashes and glitter. "I only came over here to snap you out of your daze," she glanced over to the performance area. I followed her gaze, and saw that the whole place was pretty much empty. How long had I been sitting there? Well, I suppose I had a lot to think about, didn't I?

"Oh," I let out another sigh, and turned to find Jennifer way closer than I remembered or was comfortable with. I jumped back, startled, and shook my head in disgust at her. "What is the matter with you?!"

I turned briskly on my heel, and hurried out from the conservatory, leaving the light of the entirely glass room and entering a rather dim hallway in comparison. I honestly couldn't stand her.

"Hey, Lou!" a voice called after me. I groaned, and spun around.

"For the last ti-" I stopped abruptly when I realised it was Niall. "Oh. Hey Niall," I grinned, happy to have a cheerful person's company. I think I had annoyed Harry a little too much, and he was probably in one of his mini tantrum phases. For a moment, I thought about telling Niall that Jen was here, but from the way his smile didn't quite reach his eyes, I figured that he already knew.

Niall smiled back, falling in to step with me as I made my way back to the lounge area, where I assumed I would find the other lads and maybe even some food.

"You glad Double Act made it on time?" Niall blurted out, smiling proudly. I faltered a little, wary of his reasons for asking.

"Yeah," I admitted. "I'm pretty relieved,"

His grin widened. "You're welcome," he said, just as we reached the large white double doors. I reached for the door handle, and pulled one of the doors open.

The room was a warm cream colour, with plush leather sofas and a large white rug placed over the light floorboards in the middle of the 3 couches, which were all tilted to face the rather large television. To one side of the room there was a large window, with the entrance to the kitchen at the opposite side to that.

"What do you mean?"

Niall made his way in as I held it open for him, and I followed him over to one of the couches. He leapt on to the leather and he landed with a smack, trying his best to take up as much room as possible. I frowned at his last comment and sat beside him.
