The Gas Stop

Chapter Nineteen: Rivalry

Harry's POV

Louis and I were playing Go Fish in the living room. Suddenly my phone buzzed. I checked the caller ID and saw it was Olli calling me. Why would she call me? Isn't she busy with Niall? Whenever we mentioned her name to him he would blush like he remembered something that happened though he wouldn't tell us what it was.

"Give me a sec, got to answer this." I told Louis. "Don't look at my cards. I'm warning you!" I threatened shaking my fist at Louis.

He just chuckled and looked at his cards. I knew he was going to check my cards which are why I took my best ones with me.

(Harry in italics and Olli in bold)

Harry? Here's what you're going to do….

What do you mean?

I mean here's what you're going to do about your situation with Carri.

Can it wait? I'm in the middle of something.

 Do you want me to come over there and slap you with those cards in your hands?

How did you know?

It's women intuition.

That's real?

I'm joking. I can hear you making noise in the background. Now back to the subject. There is a carnival coming up soon. I heard someone talking about it somewhere. So take her there, buy her candy floss and win her a frog or something.

Why a frog? Why not a teddy bear?

She doesn't like teddy bears. It’s opened tomorrow.

There is one small problem. I'm Harry Styles!

Come over to my house an hour before and I'll give you an awesome disguise. Simple.

Cool bye!

Bye.

After I ended the call with Olli I went back to continue playing with Louis. He was smiling happily and when he saw me come in he started laughing.

"You looked through my cards didn't you?" I questioned smirking. He looked at me confused. I bet he was wondering why I was smirking.

"Why are you smirking? I looked through your cards you should be angry or sad, not smirking! I'm clearly winning!" he exclaimed voicing my thoughts. I just laughed and pulled out the cards in my pocket.

"I left some of random cards there. I still have some more." I told him as I sat down across from him.

"Ugh! I always lose! I quit." He groaned dropping his cards on the table and walking away. I looked at his cards and saw that he could have won against me if he continued. I chuckled and started to pack away the cards.

Olli's POV

I walked back to where Carri was sitting. She looked bored and was staring down at her drink. I sat down and grinned.

"Your drink is cold. You take a really long time in the bathroom!" she said looking up.

"Come one let's go. We are going shopping." I told her standing up. She looked at me sceptically. "Get up old woman! We don't have all day."

"I have a feeling I'm going to regret this." She muttered as I dragged her to the nearest shop.

Half an hour later, Carri and I returned home. We decided to take Carri’s clothes home tomorrow.  We did buy a lot of clothes! Her phone beeped and I smiled to myself. Seems like my plan is now in action! Carri took her phone out of her pocket. She read the text and smiled. Just when I was about to ask her who it was, even though I already knew, loud music filled my ears.

“I’m going to kill that boy.” I muttered under my breath. I stomped my way over to Andrew's room and knocked harshly against the door. “Turn the music off! I can’t even hear myself think.” I shouted.

“What if I don’t?” Andrew said smirking as he opened the door. I glared at him.

“Okay! The two of you stop fighting. Compromise, Andrew turn the music down so it will be loud enough for you but not loud enough for us to hear you at Olli’s room. By the way where are your parents? Didn’t they hear the noise?” Carri commented.

“Parents went for this dinner thing and I am not going to turn the music down because I am having a few friends over.” Andrew said.

“No no no! You are not having a party! Remember what happened last time?” I told him.

“Yeah. I got laid.” He said smirking.

“Eww.” I said in a disgusted tone. “I had to clean everything while you’re drunk off your ass! You are not having a party!” I screamed in his face.

By now Carri had slipped back into my room. I wouldn’t blame her. Sometimes Andrew and I’s fights could be horrible. It’s funny to think that back when we were kids we were best friends always doing things together. Some people thought it was weird because we never had sibling rivalry, well up until now; we were really close back then. Despite the age difference of two years. I wish nothing had changed.

“I am having a party. Whether you like it or not.” Andrew said in a monotone voice.

“I hate you.” I snarled.

“Back at you sis.” He muttered before shutting the door.

I turned on my heel and stalked back into my room. I jump onto my bed hitting it face first.

“You okay there? That fight seemed pretty serious.” Carri remarked.

“It isn’t important.” I told her shaking my head. “Now that that is out of the way tell me who texted you that made you blush.” I ordered. She pulled out her phone from her pocket.

“It was Harry. He texted ‘There is a carnival on tomorrow, do you want to go with me? Don’t worry about the fans, which will be taken care of. See you soon’. Isn’t that exciting?” she squealed. “I don’t know if it’s a date or friends hanging together though. Why are boys so difficult?”

“Tell me about it.” I groaned thinking about Andrew.

“Why are you and Andrew always fighting? The two of you used to be like this.” Carri asked gesturing to her fingers that were crossed.

“That is a story for another day. Let’s go to your house because I am not prepared to be here when my parents come home from their dinner thing.” I said getting up and putting on my shoes.

“The two of you need to settle this,” Carri said, “The two of you used to be so close then something happened two years ago.  You can tell me you know. I’m always here to listen.” Carri continued touching my shoulder.

“It doesn’t matter and if I tell you it will just become more real.” I muttered. I didn’t like to think about what happened and I wouldn’t want to say it out loud.

When we arrived at Carri’s house, we went straight to her room. We put all her clothes into her wardrobe and got settled on her bed. We were at different sides though. Carri turned off the light and lay back onto her side of the bed.

“Night Olli,” Carri whispered. I suspected that she was already asleep; her voice was low and soft. I muttered a reply back to her before closing my eyes and attempting to fall asleep.
