Steal My Girl

Chapter 10- That's the Dream

Harry and Natalie left after my parents told us about the trip, and my parents left 30 minutes after them to do some furniture shopping, and they dragged Ryan along since most of it was for his new room. So then there was one. Me. I spent of the rest of the afternoon sitting in front of the tv watching Netflix and scrolling through my Twitter timeline, as I waited for Fletcher to reply to me every now and then since he was working. It's been a while since I was able to just relax, while still communicating with the world.

I was in the 2nd season of How I Met Your Mother when my phone rang. Well damn I was trying to figure out what they were bleeping with the word grinch. Oh well I'll continue thinking later. I picked up my phone answering it.

"Hello?"

"Hey Dylan, it's Harry! The guys and I were wondering if- if you wanted to hang out with us tonight? You know if you're not to busy doing your 'stuff'," he laughed nervously,"We're just going to go back to my place and hang out."

"Uhm I dont know Harry," I said. "I'm enjoying my time by myself. And I mean I'm on season 2 of How I Met Your Mother, I'm trying to make it to 3." At this point I was trying to make up any excuse to not see him since I couldn't get my feelings right 100%. And I honestly didn't want to see him and Natalie together even if I did figure it out.

"Come on Dylan! It's gonna be fun!," I heard Niall yell in the background.

"Yeah Dylan! Come on!," Louis chimed in.

"She doesn't have to come guys. It can just stay a group of 6. We can have fun without her," I heard Natalie say.

Something about Natalie's little comment pushed me over the edge.

"What time and where," I said.

"Alright! In about an hour at my place. I'll text you the address," Harry replied.

"Okay cool, see you guys later."

"Bye Dylan!," the other boys yelled.

I laughed pulling the phone away from my ear," Bye guys!"

Harry chuckled. "Bye Dylan."

"Bye Harry," I said. And with that I hung up.

I turned the tv off and walked upstairs to my room. What am I even going to wear. I threw open the closet door rummaging through all my clothes. 20 minutes later I finally got dressed and walked downstairs grabbing the keys to the family car my parents let me drive. I looked up the address Harry texted me and began driving, turning on the radio, blasting whatever song came on.

I got to Harry's house in less than 30 minutes. I parked and got off the car, making sure to lock it. Not that it'd get stolen, considering everyone here must have way nicer cars. I walked up the stairs to the front door. For some reason I couldn't seem to shake this nervous feeling. I rang the doorbell. A few seconds later Liam opened the door.

"DYLAN!," he said as he embraced me into a hug.

I laughed hugging him back. "LIAM!"

We let go of each other as he stepped aside. "Come in. Everyone is in the living room," he replied.

I walked in looking around. Woah. I followed Liam into what he said was the living room. As soon as we walked in I was tackled to the floor.

"DYLAN," Niall yelled.

I laughed,"Someone help me I'm being squished."

Zayn came bye helping us both up.

"Well aren't you my hero," I said hugging him.

He chuckled,"Wasn't I always."

I rolled my eyes and laughed, walking over to Louis.

"Dylan! It's good to see you! Glad you could join us,"Louis said smiling pulling me into a hug. He mumbled," Thank God you're here."

"Did you say something?," I asked.

"Who me? No," he said smiling slightly, letting me go.

"Well it's good to see you to Lou," I laughed.

" He-hey Dylan," Harry said nervously, towering over me.

A rush of confidence just hit me. "Harry why do you seem so neverous around me, we're friends aren't we? You would think I would be the one nervous around you," I replied. 

"I'm not nervous," he said in utter disbelief.

"You're cute when you lie," I blurted, causing everyone to face me. Shit..

"You think I'm cute?," Harry

I chuckled nervously, trying to play it off," Oh get over yourself Styles." I walked away from where they were sitting and plopped myself down on the couch in between Zayn and Niall, who were once again seated. I turned to see Louis sitting down next to Natalie, who was send daggers in my direction, as if one look could kill me here and now.

I began getting uncomfortable.  Think I should just leave, I mean it's only been like 10 minutes but I can just ask Fletcher to call me and act like there's an emergency so I'd have an excuse to leave. I know it's wrong, but this is awkward.

Liam then stood up. "Well we know we interrupted your How I Met Your Mother marathon, so the boys and I thought it'd be fair if we all watched it together," he said as he grabbed the remotes sitting back down.

"I'LL MAKE THE POPCORN," Harry shrieked, practically knocking Louis over as he ran to the kitchen.

"How I Met Your Mother, really? Dylan's watched this show over a million times can't we just watch something else," she bluntly replied.

"I guess it'd be okay-," I began, until Zayn interrupted me,"I like this show, it's be just for Dylan it's for me too."

"Alright I guess," Natalie remarked.

Liam pressed play and we all watched. A few minutes later Harry walked in giving everyone bowls of popcorn. We watched How I Met Your Mother for the rest of the night. The evening might have started out rough, but it was actually turning our pretty great. Well leaving out the parts where I glanced over to Natalie and Harry, who were getting pretty close with all their giggling and cuddling. I sighed. Why can't that be me. Wait what am I saying. Natalie's my sister, I should be happy for her.

Why can't I be happy for her?
