I'm with the band

37

My chest puffs up and down, my heart beating quickly inside.
I sweat nervously, feeling it drip down my forehead.
My eyes gave a frightened expression.
And as for my ears, they've never heard anything more terrifying than that question.

"I know Harry was sick, but do tell me Elizabeth, what were you doing while the boys were at Alex's show?"

I swallow a large lump in my throat, feeling it get completely dry and not knowing what to say next.

"She was with Bella." Harry says, answering for me.
"They made plans at the last minute yesterday."

"That seems highly impossible, Bella had a photoshoot yesterday." Simon says, arguing.

"It ended earlier than expected." Says another voice from the hallway.

Louis.
There seemed to be a pattern with everyone being popping up unexpectedly in the hallway.

"Louis, what are you doing up so early?" Simon asks, getting more annoyed by the minute.

"I heard the sound of arguing and I'm a pretty light sleeper." He says, holding his arms behind his back.
"What seems to be the problem, Simon?"

"Well I'm assuming you've heard some of it, but I was just asking Elizabeth as to why she wasn't present at Alex's gig last night." He says, making me fold my lips into a line.
"A task that had to be completed."

"Well to answer your question and as I heard, Bella and Lizzy were together last night." Louis says.
"You see, Lizzy and Bella originally made plans, but silly Lizzy forgot that Bella had a photoshoot during that time." Louis explains as Simon gives me a look.

I nod obediently, going along with Louis' very fake story.
Simon still has his arms folded, listening attentively.

"She drove to Bellas photoshoot and since Lizzy was being such a nice friend, Bella offered Lizzy to swing by her place for a cup of tea." He says smirking, proud of his very detailed lie.

"How do you know all of this, Louis?" Simon asks, still remaining suspicious.

"Niall still fancies Bella and was nonstop texting her yesterday, knowing that plans were in the making between the two girls." He says.
"He made sure that they did eventually get together and made both Lizzy and Bella tell him everything."

Simon looks back at me and Harry.
"Is this true?"

Harry and I nod our heads, trying to be as convincing as possible.
"Oh yeah, it's true alright." Harry says, as I continue to nod in agreement.

Simon sighs, exhausted.
"Very well, proceed with making breakfast."
"I had a very long meeting yesterday night, so I will catch up on some more sleep."

"Yes Simon, you go rest." Louis says, as Simon shakes his head as he walks back to his room.
"Did I hear breakfast? Don't mind if I do." Louis says, popping a blackberry in his mouth.

"Thank you so much, Louis." I sigh, wrapping my arms around his neck and hugging him tight, as his hands make their way to my waist.

"It was really nothing love, you just have to know how to lie." He jokes, as we pull away from the hug.

"It's not even a question of knowing, you quite literally have a skill, mate." Harry jokes as Louis and I laugh.
