Liam Payne's Step Sister

19: Confessions

Ellie's P.O.V

"Sure. What's up?" I say, in a laid back tone. "Come with me." He gets out of the car and walks to the trunk. He grabs something and walks over to my door, to let me out. "Harry... What are you doing?" I curiously ask. He silently takes my hand and guides me over to a bench next to the pond.

"I swear, Edward. If this is some kind of sick prank..." I joke, using his middle name. "It's not. I promise." He doesn't even look up at me. I guess I'll never be as interesting as the ground...

"Harry?" I notice something that I know for sure Harry and I both hate, from the corner of my eye. "Yeah, luv?" He smiles and looks up at me, as if expecting me to say something dramatic. "We have company." I gesture over to the small group of teenage girls giggling over by a bush. "You've got to be kidding me." He mumbles.

"Come here." He grabs my waist. "Harry what-" I start only to get cut off. "Just listen ok? PDA makes people uncomfortable right?" He reasons. "Harry you wouldn't dare." I look at the ground. "I wouldn't." He says, making me look up and smile. "Fine. What do you want, Styles?" I sigh. "We need to pretend." He says, suddenly reminding me about the night we played truth or dare. I look at Harry with worried eyes. "I know. I'm sorry I did that to you. You just looked so..." Harry reads my mind. "Ugly, selfish, unwanted. I know." I finish for him. He grabs both my hands and looks at me with wide eyes. "No. You looked stunning." He says. "And you still do." He leans in and whispers in my ear. "You know how hard it is to take you seriously when you look like that?" I smile. "Well if you're gonna be that way..." He smirks. "So about that PDA...?" He smiles. "Let's do it." I shrug. "Seriously?!" He seems surprised. "Yeah. And we don't have to pretend." I smirk, with my lips inches away from his.

Harry's P.O.V

This can't actually be happening can it? "I love you, Harry." She looks up at me with longing in her eyes. "Say it again." I purr. "I. Love. You." She smirks. Ellie was so close to me it hurt that I couldn't touch her.

Suddenly she pressed her lips to mine. I felt fireworks throughout my body.

"Wake up, Harry." I hear Ellie yell. I was dreaming? Ugh... I knew it was too good to be true. "We're home." She hops out of the car.

She walks up to the front door and opens it, revealing Louis. "What do you need?" She mumbles. "I have a surprise for you." He takes her hand and leads her inside.

Ellie's P.O.V

Louis takes my hand and covers my eyes as he drags me inside. "Louis... What are you doing?" I hear Liam ask.

Louis sits me down on the couch and I feel like there's a person on each side of me.

"So we need to ask you to do something for us..." Zayn's voice startles me. "Sure. Anything. What do you guys need?" I carefreely ask the figure on my left, who I assume is Zayn. "Niall wants to go clubbing tonight." Louis says, taking his hands away from my eyes. So this is why they acted like that... I guess they know I have a thing against bars. Or alcohol at all really... I send a glare in Liam's direction, assuming he told them. "Sure. You guys can go." I unexpectedly agree. "No, no, no. I want you to come to." Niall, on my right, sends an irresistible smile my way. I stand up, getting ready to sprint out the door when Louis suddenly grabs onto my shoulders.

I pull my phone out of my pocket and dial Kenzie's number.

"Hello?" She answers as I smirk up at Louis. "Hi. So here's the deal. I'm gonna need you to pick me up. Maybe we could have like a girls night or something?" I ask her. "Um... Sorry I can't. I'm having... Uh... People over. Yeah, that's right." She nervously mumbles into the phone, hanging up.

"Ha." Zayn smirks, obviously happy I was denied. "Please, Ellie." Niall begs, with his innocent eyes. "Why do you want me to come anyways?" I scoff, trying to rip Louis' fingers off my shoulders.

"I just do." Niall mumbles under his breath.

"Fine. I'll go." I fake a smile. Liam notices and quickly runs over to me, trying to capture me again because Louis let go.

But, fortunately for me, Liam isn't quick enough and by the time he reached the couch and the other boys have realized what exactly is going on, I'm already running out the door, just barely slipping my shoes on.

"You can't make me!" I scream.

I run into the garage and grab the closest set of keys, Zayn's. He would seriously kill me if I did anything to his car. It's probably the one thing he cares more about than himself and his hair. So I turn around and grab Niall's keys off the next hook.

I barely step into the car when 3 boys run through the door to the garage. Only Liam, Harry and Zayn. Where's Louis and Niall? Oh well. I don't have time to think about it.

I get about 10 minutes away when I hear plastic bags moving from the back seat. I pull over at the nearest parking lot, a ice cream shop, and decide to investigate.

I shut the car off and am immediately ambushed by... Niall? I can tell by his unnatural blonde hair in its signature quiff.

"Where are you headed, luv?" Louis pops up behind me.

"Why don't you wanna come with us later?" Niall pouts, facing me upside down.

"I don't wanna talk about it." I sigh into my arms, which have somehow managed to cover my face without me noticing. "Sure you do. Let's get some ice cream while we're here. That'll make her talk." Niall takes his keys out of the ignition and gets out of the car with Louis following close behind.
