Crowds (A Harry Styles Fan Fiction)

Chapter Four

MacyMacy

"Why do I have to do this?" I asked Harry as he handed me the mike stand. His smile made my heart melt when he cheekily winked at me as a reply. It's not a good reply in terms of answering my question, but it was enough to shut me up.

I'm one of those fangirls now, daydreaming about him and how he'd take me away to Paris and such. The thing is, that's all I'd probably ever be.

Something I hate the most.

"Macy?" Delilah's head pops out from the door with four other boys with smiling faces. Louis, Liam, Zayn, and Niall take one glance at me and curiously step closer. "You're that close with Harry now? You guys are talking now. Why not us?" Complained Louis.

I couldn't help it but be closer to Harry. Ever since the evening we spent together I felt more comfortable with him than any of the other guys. 

I place the mike stand on the proper place and headed for the door. What am I thinking? Yes, I like Harry but that doesn't mean..

"You're so amazing Delilah!"

...that he'd notice me that way.

I look at them from the door. My best friend and the guy I like, laughing and sharing stories while drinking softdrinks together. I'm here, helping out my dad and Harry. 

I couldn't help it, helping them even though I'd rather be out watching some anime or something. Something to get away from Harry and Delilah.

But I love them both so...

"Macy!" A boy's voice roared through the hallways. All heads snapped to the door. I turned to look out on the hallway and out of nowhere a boy with brown hair glomps me to the floor. "Macy! Macy! This is the first time I've ever seen you!"

He sits on top of me, with me staring at his features. A boy with round thick glasses and a biebercut. He was only a little taller than me and the way he dressed proved he was an average student like me. 

"Do I..know you?" I spoke in a clear voice as the boy tilts his head and gets off of me. "It's me! Lucas!" 

Lucas?

My penpal from Britian, LUCAS?

"LUCAS!!" I squealed and wrapped my arms around his neck. It was my turn to be on top of him. Finally! A friend! A real friend I can touch! Lucas and I had been emailing each other but never really did bother to look at our faces! 

"When I heard Macy Chester was here and remembered that your dad works for the music industry, I immediately rushed over!" He gushed as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

*Cough, cough*

Lucas and I let go, 5 boys and 1 girl stare back at us with curious thoughts about what was going on. Lucas happily introduced himself as my close penpal friend and asked if could go out with him today. 

"No." Harry said flatly.

"What?" Zayn's head snapped to Harry who kept a keen eye on Lucas. "What do you mean no? I haven't seen Macy be nice to any of us the way she is with Lucas. Let her have fun!" 

"We don't know the guy. What if he's an impostor?" Harry replied back.

"Harry..." Liam's eyes drifted towards me. This is the first time Liam's ever spoken for me so my eyes darted at him for silent hope. Please let me go! I want to be with him!

"Do you want to go, Macy?" Liam asks.

"Y-yes..." I say with my head down.

"You may." 

I look at him with a big smile on my face. Finally! Some sense! Liam smiles back at me as I bow to him and eagerly hold Lucas' hand and dart off to the ground floor. Finally, a fun day in my life! Lucas was here!

HARRYHARRY

NO. NO NO NO NO NO.

I was about to reach for her but Niall grabs my shoulder and starts looking at me sternly. "Stop playing tricks with her, Harry. Let her have fun." 

"What are you talking about Niall?"

"You know that she likes you right?" frowned Louis "Harry, stop making her locked up here and using her to help you in the chores. Let her have fun, she's not our maid."

"I'm not making her our maid!" I protested.

"Delilah, would you like to go to a lunch date with me and Louis?" Liam suddenly asks. What? Making a move on Delilah all of the sudden?! This is so not cool.

"Woah, what?" I complained. I was just about to ask Delilah out!

"I would love to, Liam!" Delilah replies excitedly. She hurriedly grabs her purse, accidentally brushing with Niall and running towards the exit with them.

"This isn't cool." I murmured.

So maybe I have been making her do all my chores, but that doesn't mean I'm playing with her! Yes, I know she has feelings for me but that doesn't mean I'm using her feelings? Right? RIGHT?

"I'm worried about Macy." Niall speaks up.

"Then why'd you let her go?" I spat.

"Because she's not ours to restrain?" Zayn replies sarcasticly.

"Whatever, I'm going to bed." I slammed the door to my bedroom.

It's funny, every morning I wake up hearing her giggle and laugh about something. I moved my bed to the wall right next to hers just to hear her giggle. I find it adorable that she does it in the morning. I never knew why she was giggling but now I do...

Lucas.

She was probably talking to him. 

MACYMACY

"Thanks for today, Luc!" I said as we walked up to my flat. He looks at me and makes a goofy face, causing me to laugh more. "We have to hang out more May! I'm homeschooled to so you can probably call me all the time!"

Lucas...my first high school crush...is now somewhat my best guy friend.

"Of course!" I replied as we stop in front of my flat.

Lucas was about to open his mouth, his lips parting and his face leaning closer. What? Was he about to do something? Well I wouldn't ever find out now.

"DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?" Harry's voice roared.

"...10?" I replied questioningly.

"10 PM!" He replied angrily "And what are you doing here! Go home already!" He points accusingly at Lucas.

"Are you her dad?"

"W-wha...No!"

"Then please don't interfere." Lucas' smile was sweet but the tone of his voice was icy. I guess I can understand, Harry was being unreasonable.

"I'll see you next week Luc." I told Lucas softly as I touched his shoulder. Lucas smiled softly back at me and patted my head. A calming habit of his that feels so familiar and caring for me.

He walks downstairs, takes one more glance at me and leaves.

My heart aches.
