Imagine {On Hold}

«Chapter 6 - Shopping, Shopping, and More Shopping!!»

«Mary's POV»

I changed into a pair of shorts with black leggings and a black top with a skull on it. I slipped on my black converse and started to tie them. The boys and I were going out to eat for breakfast/lunch then we were going to go grocery shopping. Here in Kansas City, there are people everywhere. It's not as crowded as New York City, but it's still pretty dense.

I think we were going to McDonald's for lunch, then to the Oak Park Mall. I haven't been there in a while since we never have enough money to buy anything. Someone knocked on my door and said, "Are you ready? Niall is complaining again." I think it was Liam.

"Yeah, give me a sec." I tied my shoe and grabbed my jacket. I like to collect jackets, so I have a lot. I grabbed the black one with my initals on the back. MEW. Mary Elizabeth White. My mom had sewn in the letters.

Liam opened the door a little. He asked, "Do you have a phone?"

I opened the door all the way and said, "Yup. But I don't have any minutes." I handed him my cheap-ass phone.

"We're getting you a new phone. This doesn't even rememble a phone." He tossed it on my bed.

I finished brushing my hair and said, "Quit wasting money on me. I don't need it. You haven't been here a full day and you've already bought pizza and youre going to buy groceries and me a new phone." I tossed the brush into a box and made my way into the hall closing the door. Liam followed me into the living room.

Liam kept his mouth shut. Niall and Zayn were complaining to Louis that they were hungry. "Lads, after Mary is ready then we can go. Oh, there she is." He said looking at me. "Let's go!"

Everyone put on some kind of hat and sunglasses. I smiled to myself. Atleast no one will notice me. No one ever does. We walked down the stairs from my apartment to the parking lot where a black van had taken place of my brothers car. I bet it was theirs. I was right when we all piled into the van. Louis drove with Liam in the front with him, Zayn and Niall in the middle, and Harry and I in the back.

Zayn said, "Li, is there a mirror up there I can borrow?" Liam tossed him a mirror.

I sighed and glanced out the window. I was starving. The four boys infront of me started to argue over something and Harry tapped my shoulder. I turned away from the building rushing by us and faced Harry. "What?"

"Here." he held a necklace in his hand. The charm was a paper airplane. He took my hand and instantly butterflies were crowded in my stomach. I couldn't speak. He gently dropped it on my hand, circling the chain around the charm. The warm metal felt nice against my cold and freezing hands. He wrapped my fingers around it and held my fist in both his hands. "It's yours now."

When he smiled at me I got all warm and giddy inside. I blushed and re-opened my hand examining the necklace. Harry was wearing this earlier. I remember because it hung right between the two bird tattoos on his chest. I undid the clasp and out it around my neck. After I pulled my hair out from underneath the chain Harry smiled at me. I tucked it under my shirt and he laughed. What the hell is wrong with me? I thought. I never act this way. I'm a troublemaker. No one likes me. I'm a nerd and I'm poor.

I smiled back until Louis screamed, "Okay! We're going to McDonald's for lunch then the mall!" He pulled into the drive through and put his sunglasses on. "Everyone want the usual?" Everyone nodded until Louis faced me and said, "What do you want, Mary?"

"Umm, just a McChicken. And a tea." Everyone looked at me when I spoke.

Zayn asked me, "You want to go shopping later? We'll buy whatever you want." Louis finished ordering and pulled up to the next window.

"Fine." If they don't stop buying me things I'm going to go crazy.

Louis tossed me his phone and I caught it. "It's Aunt Amy. Your mom, I mean." I looked at the phone and it said: Call from Aunt Amy. There was a flashing spot that had Answer in green letters. Harry touched the spot and it answered. Duh, Mary, it's a touch screen.

"Hello?" I held the phone up to my ear.

"Mary? I thought it was Louis. Are you having fun?" She sounded extremely tired.

I shrugged and said, "I think you have a different definition of fun than I do." The boys started to pass out the food. I sat mine between me and Harry so I could finish talking to mom. "So how's work?"

"Tiring, like usual." She laughed and said, "Sweetie, can I talk to Louis now? I love you!"

I sighed, "I love you too, mom." I passed the phone back to Louis and I started to eat with the others while they talked. Zayn stepped out of the car and started smoking. Louis soon followed him out of the car leaving Liam, Niall, Harry, and I still in the car eating.

After I finished eating Liam switched places with Harry. He pulled out his phone and showed me how to play a game. I got bored of it pretty quickly, so he showed me his Twitter. Being poor, I didn't know what Twitter was until he explained it. He showed me his followers. 10 million?!

"Wow. If you're this famous why don't you have bodyguards everywhere?"

He handed me his phone and said, "We do have them. They're just watching us from a distance."

The other boys piled into the car afterwards and Louis drove us to the Oak Park mall. I kept my hand wrapped around the paper airplane Harry gave me until we arrived at the mall. I hope they didn't make me try oneverything in the store.
