I'm with the band

07

The next morning, I wake up and notice that I got a pretty good sleep.
I stretch from my bed and get ready for the day.

The boys and I had a lot planned for today.
Given that we still couldn't leave the house, of course.

From this point on, it was strictly rehearse, rehearse, rehearse.

I get dressed and walk to the boys rooms to see if they were up yet.
All their doors were opened, yet they weren't in their rooms.

They were up already?
That's new.

Am I the one that slept in instead of them?
No wonder I got such a good sleep.

To my surprise, I see them all in the living room along with Simon, who had his arms folded.
Thats definitely not new.

They were just staring me down, as if I had a third arm.

"Good morning, guys." I say, greeting them with a smile.

"Elizabeth, you're late." Simon says, annoyed and peering down at his watch.

I furrow my eyebrows, confused.
The guys still hadn't said anything.

"Late? To what?" I ask, poking my head out, completely lost.

"Simon texted us this morning to meet here at 8:30, since he had something important to tell us." Harry explains, showing me his phone.

It was 9:30.
Gosh, I'm an hour late?
Why didn't anyone wake me?

To be honest, he seemed a little frustrated.
Not only that, but the rest of the boys weren't even talking.

"Oh, I'm sorry." I say, embarrassed.
"I didn't know, my phone was off."

"Excuses, Excuses." Niall says, smirking.

"Its what actually happened." I say glumly.
"I'm sorry."

"Oh, it's no big deal love, we've only been waiting a whole hour, just for you." Louis says, sadistically.

"Okay, I get that it's early and you've been waiting, but you don't have to be rude about it, I said I was sorry-" I say, but Simon cuts me off.

"Enough talking, Elizabeth." Simon says.
"You may have a seat." He motions his hand over to the couch.

Hesitantly, I grab a seat in between Harry and Niall on one of the couches.

"So what's this meeting about?" I ask, curiously.

"Maybe if you'd let the man speak, we'd know." Liam says, annoyed.

I form my lips into a line and stay quiet.
Each thing I said would be followed by a smart remark from the boys, and it hurt me slightly.

Maybe they just woke up grouchy?
But I'm their friend, how could they talk to me like this?

"I have finally decided what we're gonna do about the dating rumours situation." Simon concludes, as my eyes grow big, on the edge of my seat.
