Only the Lord Knows

Chapter Four

As this whole thing is happening I can't help but ask him: " I'm sorry I don't wanna be rude or anything...but this is really happening right? I'm not dreaming? Didn't hit my head and die? Didn't pass out, or fall down, not another concussion cause if it is in fact another concussion I'm screwed no sports or driving for a year. Which is lovely! NOT! I'm also not in the hospital? No coma, not at CHOP or Penn? None of my health issues are popping up? No mysterious unexplained illnesses? I didn't overdose or anything? No medicine side effects right? Not a seizure or my friends playing a cruel, horrible joke either right? Because, if you guys did Kara and Jackson you guys are sadly gonna regret this egregious decision you've made my friends!" By the end of my questioning rant/ mass of words Harry starts laughing his head off at me. I look at him and say "am I really that funny buddy?!?!"

To which he replies:" No I'm sorry you're not its just been a really long time since someone's been so frank when they're talking to me. Usually they're star struck like your red headed friend was."
"Sorry" I say to him "long night and I'm currently freezing my butt off waiting for my friend to come get me."
"If you want" he says " I can give you a ride to your friends work".
"No thanks! I don't take rides from strangers." I tell him. "Yes I know you're a world famous pop star and everything but still. Though, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't do any thing wrong it's not like I've known you since we were kids." I say while laughing. "No offense though".
"It's okay" he says "none taken. Most girls though would've definitely jumped at that offer though."
"Well I'm definitely not most girls. I'm probably more honest than most, and a but crude and rude, but I would also give everything I have just to make someone happy or have a better day/year/month/week/everything. I'm just that type of person Mr. Styles. I tell him and he looks at me slightly stunned at the way I tell him those things about myself so honestly. It seems to me as though that might be a foreign concept in that man's eyes.
"Why are you out here talking to me anyways? Shouldn't you be going to your hotel, and watching out for obsessed fans?"
"Yeah I should but this time the guys and me are playing a trick on them all and staying in our tour buses here at the arena. You do also, no that's it's like almost midnight and the concert ended like almost 2 hours ago right. So what, are you still doing here? Being a crazy obsessed stalker-ish fan? Do you think I should really believe something like that?"
"Yeah you really should ya bozo! Why would I lie about something like that? It would just be stupid and no where near doing anything to my benefit. That's just stupid if a person were to do that." As I'm talking/slightly yelling this at him I shove my phone under his nose and tell to look at my convo with my friend Kev who is currently en route but dealing with the mess of traffic departing from the concert.
Ariel: Hey have you gotten any closer yet to the stadium?
Kevin: Yeah but I'm stuck dealing with bridge traffic and there also seems to be an accident not far from the stadium by chickie's and Pete's.
Ariel: oh all right just get here when you can Kev.
Kevin: I promise I will Ariel I'm really sorry about this mess.
Ariel: it's okay Kev it's not your fault that traffic's messed up. Also, are you sure it's okay for you to be away from work for this long? If it's not I'll figure out some way to get to you or just get to my house...
Kevin: No it's fine Airy! It's not like anything is going on! Usually I'm asleep or catching up on paperwork you know that.
Ariel: Yeah sorry:) it's been a long day ya know? All I wanna do is go home and sleep?
Kevin: Ya know you can just sleep when I get you at my office right?
Ariel: Really?!?!
Kevin: Yes lol:p
Ariel: Yes I get to go to sleep soon! Love you Kev! Thank you thank you thank you Kev! I'm forever in your debt!
Kevin: Jeez you must be really tired if your saying that sort of stuff to me lol! Usually you'd be complaining about something or other by now, and I'd attempt to tune you out the whole time.
Ariel: Yeah I am! And I'm usually joking when I do that ya know?
Kevin: I know! See you soon !
Ariel: Yup see you soon!

Harry reads my texts and looks sad. "I'm sorry for doubting you and your boyfriend I'll just leave now but before I leave let's take a selfie together!" He says.
"What are you talking about?!?!" I ask "He's not my boyfriend! He's basically my older brother." I say while laughing my ass off at his assumption.
"He's not? And what do you mean by basically?"
"I mean that he's my best friend's older brother. Who's known me since I was in diapers. He literally is my older bro and trust me I've never thought of him like that a day in my life! Ew, yuck, gross, I'm gonna get cooties." I say while laughing.
"You're being serious right?" He asks in that awesome British accent of his.
"Yes I'm being serious. We're friends or siblings depending on the day or mess that we've somehow have become enmeshed in. We would never do that anyway. To gross. Also, I don't know why you need to know wether he is or not anyway?" I say with a curious look on my face.
"Oh no reason. Just really curious is all. Sorry about that."
"It's okay don't worry about it."
" I still wanna take a selfie with you though."
"Okay" I say thinking eh what's the harm ? Whatever Airy just stop thinking about the fact that the Harry Styles wants to take a pic with you of all people and jut do it!
**snap snap**
Goes both his camera and mine.
"Thanks for the pic!" I say excitedly to him.
"Your welcome!" He says. "Um, hey can I ask you a question?" He says while nervously biting his lip and looking like a nervous little kid.
"Yeah sure. Ask away, pretty boy."
"Can I post this to Instagram and tag you?" He says.
"Yeah sure! Go right ahead!" Which he immediately does and ask me for my number. Which, albeit reluctantly I give it to him thinking that I'm the one who needs her head examined after tonight! I start shivering and he leans over to me and gives me his jacket.
"Thanks"
"You're welcome!" He says while smiling the whole time.
He looks really happy which I attribute to him being happy about the concert earlier and still riding that adrenaline high. Whatever I'm definitely scheduling an appointment with my neurologist pronto. Especially, after this night.
"Thanks" he says to me. "Ariel do you wanna-"
He sounds like he's about to ask me something but gets cuts off by the honking of a car horn and I look over and see a bunch of guys stumbling out of a big expensive SUV and start to make their way over to Harry. All laughing and looking drunk as hell.
At the same time Kev's car pulls up across the street and I quietly excuse myself and get into his car.
Harry nods over to me without a second glance and I think okay whatever mister big superstar jerk. But then again he might not necessarily be that big of a jerk since he gave a shivering girl that he just met his jacket.
"Hey!" Kev says to me.
"Hey" I say quietly back.
"Okay what's wrong?" He asks me concerned.
"Nothing just really tired." I tell him
"Airy... really you're not lying right?"
"No Kev I'm not. I'm just gonna pass out now 'kay? Wake me when we're at your place or wherever. My mom already knows I'm with you."
"Okay I kind of guessed you would she's not worried right?"
"Kev she's known you since we were all kids. I'm pretty sure she's more worried about me doing something stupid to you, ya know?" I say while laughing lightly.
"Yeah probably knowing her." He says.
"Right! Goodnight Kevin I love you forever and one day more!" I tell him. It's something we've always said to each other since we were little kids.
"Yeah Ariel. Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite. And I love you Ariel forever and one day more!" He says while kissing me on the head. Those are the last words I hear before I fall into a soft, and deep, dreamless sleep....
