Opposites Attract

Chapter 19 : Slipping Away

I had my own job now. My new best friend, Valerie, offered me to work with her at a fashion store. I got good money, enough to buy my own apartment. But I didn't. I still stayed in the same house.

I don't see Harry as much anymore. He doesn't text, I guess he has no time to. I understand, but sometimes it worries me. He's a superstar now. He could get millions of prettier girls than me. I guess we're in that relationship when we don't talk, but still together. I don't understand that.

I visited my grandma and my brothers once in a while. I'd bring Alfie with me to keep me company.

- ( Next Morning ) -

"Carmen! Get up! You have to get ready for work!" Valerie shouts in my ear. Oh yeah, I forgot she stayed the night. "Yeah, yeah." I groaned. "Girl, get your ass up!" Valerie pulled the blanket off me. "Fine!" I sat up, wide eyed. "I'll be making breakfast." Valerie smiles, leaves my room.

I see Alfie siting in his usual bed. "Hello Alfie." I smile to him. He purrs. I groan and walk to the bathroom. After I brush my teeth, my hair, I decide what to wear. I walk over to my dresser.

I wore booty jean shorts, white vans and a crop top with a beach scene and  

"I Love You <3" written on it. I absolutely adored this. I left my hair natural, decided to stay with my pin straight hair.

As I went downstairs, Alfie followed me and I saw Valerie making bacon and egg. "Bout time!" Valerie said she turned around and looked at me, "You look pretty!" Valerie smiles.

"Thanks meh love! So do you!" I smile to her as I grab my cup of coffee. "Soo, um One Direction is coming to town. For two weeks." Valerie awkwardly said. "Okay? Like Harry's gonna stop by." I roll my eyes.

Valerie sighs. "Carmen he is still your boyfriend. You can't talk about him like this." Valerie said. "Well he's the one who doesn't text back!" I snap. "Carmen, he's busy. You should know that." Valerie said.

I said nothing. "See. You should see him." Valerie said. "Here's your bacon and eggs." Valerie said, changing the subject. Valerie's right. I can't act like he's just a toy for me.

I finish my food. I give Alfie an extra serving and water before we leave. Valerie and I get there within 10 minutes. It seemed pretty filled on this street than it usually is. It's only 7:30am. I give Valerie a confused look. She shrugs and pulls in our reserved parking.

"I wonder what's going on now." Valerie annoyingly said. Events always happen on the street we work on. She unlocks the front door of the shop. Everything's still, as we place our bags under the shelf where the register is.

I put my phone on silent. "And the shop is open." Valerie said, opening the front door. People roam around here early, to get new installments. Some girls, or women, already came in the store.

A lady, probably in her mid-thirties, came to the desk where I was. "May I help you?" I ask. "Yeah, I'm looking for a green neon bracelet? It's kinda of bead-ish." The lady asks. I walk over to the jewelry stand.

"I'll see if I could find it." I said, finding the item. I show it to her. "Oh thanks!" The lady smiles, as she walks off to get other stuff.

Out of no where, teenage boys run by. Two of them passed, and a blonde one entered our store. "Do you mind if we hide here?" The Irish (pretty impressive) man speaks. "Yeah go in the back?" I said, confused. "Thanks! Let me get my other lads." The runs out, getting 2 other teenagers.

By now, Valerie helped the other customers. Everyone was gone, except those 3 teenagers, who I have no idea who they are, hidden in the back way.

Valerie closes the front door, before a huge wave of teenage girls run past. Probably all of the teenage girls in this city. Some signs said,

'ONE DIRECTION <333'

'LOUIS I NEED YOU ! ;)'

'I NEED YOUR GRAVY HARRY!'

Whoa wait, what? One Direction is already here?? I'm guessing it was Nail? Or something that came up to me? Valerie just watches as I walk to see who those boys were.

I noticed them hiding in the back closet. I couldn't see their faces though. "I'm guessing you're One Direction." I say bluntly. "Yeh!" One says, stepping out. He has a blonde streak, and a Quiff. "I'm Zayn. Pleasure to meet you." Zayn gives me an unexpected hug.

"I'm Niall." The Irish one said. "Oh that's you're name!" I laugh. "Why?" Niall asks. "Nothing. Nice to meet you." I said. "Haz! Come out!" Niall screams to the other boy.

The other one expected who I thought it would be...
