The next week went by really quickly. Layla and I finally finished putting up all four hundred of our One Direction posters, and we continued to hang out with the guys whenever we could. Although I tried not to act any differently, I was still wary about Harry and the dream. You see, the reason I was so worried is that, my dreams have always had a bad habit of becoming real, or close enough to it. But it’s only ever the bad ones, never the good ones. Because of this, I knew I shouldn’t be getting too close to Harry so I’ve just been trying to keep him as a friend, but nothing more.
I think the boys had noticed that something is up with me, but they haven’t mentioned anything so neither have I. Oh, and most importantly, Liam and I have become slightly closer. It’s still kind of strange for me and Layla, as we’re still not used to the idea of living next to One Direction yet. Oh well, we’ll get over it.
“Oi! Lazy ass!” Layla’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts
“What?”
“Come on, get changed! We’re going over to the boys for the day, remember?”
What is she on about? “No…?”
“You’re hopeless” She rolls her eyes “Just hurry up and get dressed so we can go”
I get up off the couch and wander off to our room, mumbling something about time.
After about 10 minutes of shuffling through my drawers looking for something nice to wear, I finally decided on dark denim skinny jeans, an oversized jumper and a pair of ugg boots, since it was such a cold day. I ran down to meet an impatient Layla standing at our front door, and quickly shouted out goodbye to my parents before Layla yanked me out of the house and started running across the street. Geez, someone’s eager.
Once we arrived at their large front door, and had said a quick hello and goodbye to their guards, Layla knocked loudly on the door and waited to be let in.
The peep-hole opened, but before the person on the other side of the door could say anything, Layla interrupted them.
“IT’S LAYLA AND RAINE!” she screamed
The door opened and there stood a very wide eyed Zayn
“Geez, I knew fans could scream loudly, but that was just crazy loud! Are you trying to make me go deaf Layla?”
“Sorry Zayn” she laughed and covered her mouth “I won’t do it again”
“Thank god” He breathed “Now, come on in ladies” He winked at Layla as we walked in, causing her to blush. Awe, cute.
“Hey girls!” Louis grinned at us as we walked into the lounge room where they were all sitting “Finally decided to join us I see?”
“We would have been here earlier, but SOMEONE” She pointedly looked at me “Forgot we were coming over” The boys laughed.
“So…why the big rush this-morning? Where are we going that’s so important?”
“Well Raine, we are going to…somewhere you can’t know about yet because it’s a surprise!” Liam smiled at me
“But I don’t like surprisessssss” I whined “Please can you tell me where we’re going?”
“If we told you it wouldn’t be a surprise, now would it?” Harry smirked
“I guess you’re right” I huffed “When are we leaving?”
“Right now” Louis picked up the car keys and spun them around on his finger “Come on lads”
We all filed out of the house, and then into Louis’ car
“Layla, do you know where we’re going?” I whispered in her ear
“No clue, all they told me was that they wanted to take us out somewhere special” She shrugged “I bet it’s somewhere awesome” She whispered back
I just hoped she was right.
---------------------------------------------
“Are we theeeere yet?” Layla moaned “we’ve been driving for like…” she took a quick glance at her phone “half an hour”
“Be patient” Louis laughed “we’re almost there…just another 10 minutes or so”
“Louis, you said that 5 minutes ago…are you lost?”
“No, no, no I’m not lost! I know exactly where we’re going”
“Men” Layla snorted
“Hey! I heard that!”
“Awe, it’s okay Boobear, I still love you”
Zayn, Liam, Niall and I all looked at Layla expecting her to yell something about Larry, but she surprisingly didn’t.
“What? Do I have something on my face…?” she reached into her pocket and pulled out a little mirror.
“No, it’s nothing…don’t worry” Niall laughed
The boys turned back to what they were doing, and Louis continued to drive.
…
“Larry moments are so caaauuuute!” I jumped, and turned my head quickly to my left to see Layla with a huge grin on her face.
Of course, I rolled my eyes. “You’re so predictable”
“Am not!” she stuck her tongue out
“Immature…” I mumbled under my breath
“I heard that!” she hit my arm lightly
“Hey girls, I hate to break up your little…thing, but we’re here!” Louis grinned at us
“Yay!” Layla spun around and pressed her face to the window “Holy…”
I turned to look out my own window and my jaw dropped as I took in what was outside…
