Some Things Just Happen (Liam Payne)

Chapter Fourteen

Eleanor and Perrie were holding me captive in a bathroom. They were swarming me. Redoing all of my makeup and hair and everything else. I tried to refuse their help but they insisted that I looked like a mess. They were. My eyes were tinted pink and my cheeks were flushed. They finished and I had to admit that I looked better than before.

When they had finished, we walked to our seats and watched as fans filed in. We put sunglasses on and tried to keep our identities a secret. Occasionally a fan would run up to us and ask for a picture. They all seemed really nice and said that me and Liam were absolutely adorable together. I thanked her but told her that we weren’t actually dating at all. She gave me a look that said yea right and left to get in her seat.

After the majority of the crowd had arrived, the boys ran out. The screams were deafening.

“How is everyone tonight?” Louis screamed over the crowd. They continued screaming as the first song started.

The concert ended and all of the tired fans slowly walked out of the stadium. Eleanor and Perrie expertly led us through crowd. We met a security guard once we got to the gate that separated the crowd from the stage and he led us backstage. The boys were waiting by a table, drinking bottle after bottle of water. Eleanor and Perrie broke away and hugged their boyfriends while I went to talk to Liam.

“You guys did amazing!” I said giving him a hug.

“Thanks. Hey do you wanna came to the after party? Lots of fun!” Liam said as we were about to say goodnight.

“And lots of booze!” Niall interrupted. I loved as the blonde boy bonded off with a handful of Oreo cookies.

“Sure sounds like fun.” I said smiling.

“Oh my gosh! I have the perfect dress for you!” Perrie said hooking her arm on mine.

“And we could do your hair and makeup!” Eleanor joined in. They continued to gush over the details as they led me to the car that would take us to Perrie’s flat.

When we got there, Perrie sat me in front of a mirror and started curling my hair. “By the way, don’t worry about the fans. More people support you guys than the ones that don’t.”

“There’s nothing to support, we aren’t even dating.” I said as she brushed some kind of powder over my eyelids.

“Whatever you say dear.” she said.

“Here’s the dress!” Eleanor said happily, carrying it into the bedroom. “Don’t look yet!” I ignored her and looked anyway. It was red with the a low V-neck and the sides were cut out.

I raised my eyebrow and looked at both of them. Perrie sighed. “Fine.” She sighed and walked into a closet that seemed endless. “Aw this is so perfect!” She said from the closet before walking out with a dress in hand. She excitedly held up her choice with an ear to ear smile plastered on her face. Before i could respond, she placed the dress on the bed and walked out of the room with Eleanor, closing the door behind them.

Once I had gotten the dress on, I looked in Perrie’s floor length mirror. It was a gorgeous dress. The hem came down well above my knees and the top was sleeveless with a sweetheart neck. It was an empire waist so my waist looked slim. The coral flowers, mixed with shades of blues and pinks, littered the peach colored dress creating a beautiful design. I walked out of the room and did a little spin to show them. They both looked pleased and Eleanor handed me a pair of nude colored pumps.

After they had slipped into their dresses, we walked back to the car. The driver took us to a flat that was lit up even at this late hour. Music boomed from the inside and colorful lights streamed out. We walked up to the door and knocked. An already drunk Harry opened the door.

“Gracie!” He said in his slow accent. Some of his drink sloshed onto the floor as he pulled us inside. People were everywhere, dancing to the beat of a song that I didn’t recognize.

“Come on! Let’s go to the bar!” Perrie yelled over the music. She moved around the people and dragged me along with her.

We found the Zayn, Louis, and Liam standing by the bar. Zayn and Louis welcomed the girls and they went to order drinks.

“You look amazing!” Liam said as I walked closer to him. We heard Harry whoop from behind us as he climbed on a table. We laughed at him.

“He’s way too drunk.” I said laughing.

“Yup that’s why I’m not drinking. Well that and I can’t.” He said taking a sip from a water bottle.

“How come?” I said curiously.

“Only one of my kidneys work properly. I had to have more than thirty injections a day to stay alive as a kid.” He said frankly.

“Oh, well I’ll be your sober buddy!”

“Nonsense! Have fun! It’s a party!” He almost screamed over the music. “Yolo!” He said in a mock-thug accent. I shrugged and asked the muscular bartender for a drink.
