Finding Me

Chapter 17

After the drama on Friday everyone was expecting some of the same before Saturday nights gig but Ava and Harry had already talked about it that morning before they left their room. Ava told Harry she wanted to go but didn't know if she could handle two late nights in a row, so she would ask the girls later in the day if they would be willing to leave the club early with her, that way Harry would feel comfortable with staying and he and the other guys could come home later. That's what she was about to do now that they were all sitting down to eat lunch.

"Hey, ladies I was wondering if I could ask a favor of all of you." Ava says as the all sit and start to eat.

"Sure, what's up?" Tia says looking at Ava curiously.

"I'm going to the club tonight, I want to hear the guys perform the new song, but I'm not sure I can handle another late night like we had last night. So I was wondering if you girls would be willing to cut your evening short and come home early with me when I get tired? That way Harry and the guys can finish playing without worrying about me." Ava asks them cautiously.

"Of course, we don't mind leaving early." Kasey answers for them all. "You just let us know when you've had enough and we can come home and pig out on ice cream and watch chic flicks til we fall asleep. The boys can carry us to bed when they get home." She smiles.

"Absolutely, we can make a girls night, even if it's a short one. It will be fun." Jess adds.

"Are you feeling okay right now?" Damon asks Ava. He was almost as bad as Harry when it came to her taking her meds and taking it easy.

"Right now I feel great." Ava tells him. "But I might feel like hell an hour after we get to the club. That's the bad thing about these meds, I never know how they are going to make me feel. Everyday it's different, which makes no since to me at all." Ava says. "I can feel tired, energized even horny." At hearing that Harry's head pops up and looks at her with a grin.

"When?" He asks making everyone laugh.

Ava giggled. "You already know when that was, love. We ran out of hot water and everyone was teasing you about wrapping me up like a tamale." She reminded him.

Harry's grin got larger at the memory. "Oh yeah. I wonder if the workers on the studio has any leftover sound proofing they can use on my room." He says with a laugh causing Ava to blush.

"Shut up, Boo. The wash cloth you shoved in your mouth worked just fine to muffle your rebel yell." Ava teased him.

Harry looked at her with a smirk. "Worked on your scream too sweety."

"So did your..." Harry quickly covered her mouth with his hand before she finish that statement afraid of what she might say. They were both laughing though.

Damon says with a chuckle. "Okay we know the meds fuck you up. Pun intended." He said causing the room to erupt into another fit of laughter.

"Wait." Aaron holds his hand up. "Is there someone actually knocking on the door? That's a first." He says as they all get up to see who would be there.

Zayn was the first one there so he opened the door. They were all shocked to see a very beat up Liam leaning against the door frame holding his side. Tia was the first to react, she really liked him, and since he started sitting with them at lunch everyday that feeling just got stronger.

"Oh my God, Liam. What happen?" Tia cried as she ran to him to help him into the house. Zayn helped her get Liam to the couch and sit him down. Minutes later Ava shows up with a first aid kit and hands it to Tia.

"Grant and I were at Starbucks talking about going to the club tonight. I told him you guys were planning on doing a new song Harry and Ava wrote." He told them as Tia and Ava started cleaning him up. "I've known Grant all my life, he lives next door to me. He knows everything that's going on. He can be trusted guys or I wouldn't have told him what we talk about at lunch. The only reason he is still sitting at my old table, which he hates, is to keep an eye on Niall." Liam tells the group sitting in front of him. "He tells me everything Niall says, and if it's about any of you." Liam tells Harry since he's no longer in the loop at school. "I tell these guys, that way they can keep you informed if he has anything up his sleeve. Anyway, as I was coming out of Starbucks Grant told me he would meet me at the club early like we planned at lunch Friday." Liam says smiling the best he could at Tia. "When I got to my car I was hit from behind. I didn't see who did it but I have a pretty good idea. The person whispered saying "I won't stop till I get what I want, and I always do. The bitch will die whether it's from the disease she has, that will make it easier for me or I have to do it myself. Harry will be mine, he's to good for that little nerd" Niall is the only person I know who calls her that." Liam tells them quietly.
