Picture of Drew on the side >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
*** Chapter 9***
Needless to say, we had no trouble getting along with Danielle and Eleanor. They are so nice and funny, and they mirror each other's personalities.
We had a really fun night, and watched some scary movies. Apparently, Louis has a thing for them. That, and the fact that Liam wanted to comfort Danielle.
Throughout the movie, Louis and Eleanor screamed periodically. Eleanor's screams were high pitched but quiet, while Louis's were just plain loud. It was rather annoying actually.
Being the sarcastic person I am, had to say something. "Could you please scream louder? My ears haven't reached the frequency of being blown out yet." I said, directing it towards Louis.
Louis looks at me with mock hurt before screaming at the top of his lungs. Everyone, including Eleanor, covered their ears, it was that loud. "How was that?" Louis asks me a hint of sarcasm in his upbeat voice.
"Splendid," I told him rolling my eyes. He gave me a cheeky smile and it was strange, as it was something I would expect Harry to do.
I realized I suddenly just yawned. I looked over to Niall who is covering his ears like he is going insane. Geez, what's his problem. "Well, I'm going to turn in for the night..." I started, standing up and unwrinkling my pajamas. I was wearing a simple jack wills top with sweat pants and my absolute favorite things ever: my fuzzy panda slippers. It may sound girly but, hey, Pandas are so damn adorable.
I padded up stairs and found myself sitting on my bed, staring at the blank wall. I don't even know why I left from down stairs. Louis was being annoying so I guess that was a good enough reason.
I tried to fall asleep, but it didn't really work. I kept thinking about what I had heard earlier today. The conversation that I wasn't supposed to hear kept replaying in my head. I'd heard everything.
*Cue the flashback*
I padded upstairs to quickly grab the cough syrup for Zayn. I found it easily because my room, bathroom included, was clean. Hey, just because I'm a tomboy doesn't mean I don't enjoy a clean room.
I swiftly found the medicine in the medicine cabinet in the bathroom and jogged back down the stairs. I mean there was no reason not too right? Right, well I wish there was, otherwise I wouldn't have heard this.
"Did you do it?" Zayn asked which was followed by a long period of silence. "Kiss her, mate," He said a few moments later.
"Is it really that obvious?" Harry asked quietly. I had a feeling Zayn nodded. What were they talking about? I'm so confused.
"Well to the lads and I, yeah. But to her, maybe not. I really don't know about that." I heard Zayn say to Harry. What? Who were they talking about? Hopefully, it wasn't me. I never took Harry's failed attempts at flirting to be serious, like in a way that he might fancy me. My chances for me not being the girl was pretty low, mainly because I'm the only girl here. Maybe I can just keep my hopes up.
"Well then what do I do?" asked Harry.
"I don't know," Zayn implied.
I heard Harry huff on the other side of the door I was crouched behind. "You're a great help."
"Ask Liam, or Lou, maybe," That's where I decided to put my wonderful (note the sarcasm) acting skills to work. I walked out, pretending I had no idea what they had just been talking about. Thankfully, they bought it.
*End of Flashback*
I don't know how long I must've been sitting there staring at nothing until Eleanor came in. "Erm, Drew?" She said looking at me in a funny way.
I looked at her with embarrassment. "Yeah, sorry, I kind of...dozed off." I told her then I realied she was alone. "Where's Danielle?"
"Sleeping with Liam tonight." She said blankly.
"You can go with Louis, if you want. I don't mind being alone." I told her honestly.
"No, it's fine. I want to bond with you. We can pull an all nighter!" She said enthusiastically even though I could tell she was really tired. I just laughed at her.
"You can try. What do you want to do?" I asked her. I could tell this wasn't going to last.
"We can play Truth or Dare!" She said excitedly. Barely, you could hear the sleepiness in her voice.
"How about truth or truth because I really don't feel like getting up." I said, showing my laziness. She rolled her eyes, but agreed.
"Ok, I want to know...What was your first kiss like?" She asked me smiling innocently.
I thought hard. Honestly, don't ask me why, it doesn't ring a bell. Oh, that's right. It hasn't happened yet. "Hasn't happened yet." I told her bluntly. Eleanor gaped at me.
"But...but..." She stuttered. "You really haven't had your first kiss yet? A beauty like you?"
"Yup." I said, popping the p.
"Wow, I can't believe that." She said staring at me. I just nodded then stood up. "Where are you going?" She asked, looking concerned.
"Thirsty. You want anything?" I asked Eleanor.
"Nahh, I'm fine." I nodded and trotted downstairs to the kitchen. I made myself a glass of water without having to actually talk to anyone. A few minutes later, I returned upstairs to find Eleanor sound asleep on my bed. What a surprise. Told you she was tired.
I walked back down stairs, knowing that I wasn't going to have a good night's sleep. I sat on the couch, thinking about nothing as I sipped my water. The conversation I overheard between Zayn and Harry was clouding my thoughts. I needed to clear my head.
I slid open the door to the porch and stepped out into the cool summer air silently. I breathed in, smelling the delightful stench of sea water. I love the beach. I walked over to the railing, setting my glass down on it, and sitting on the steps that lead down farther onto the beach. The view was astonishing. Have I mentioned I love the beach?
I sit for a few moments by myself before I notice something I hadn't before. It's faint, so faint I have to strain my ears to hear it, but it's there. Someone is singing the song. My song.
