Two Mermaids and One Direction

Chapter XXI

Lilly's POV

I checked Liam's watch. When it said 11:57, my eyes widened. Time flew by quickly. I turned to Liam. "Cassie's gonna freak." I stated, just as Liam linked arms with me.

"And..."

"And... You do not wanna get on Cassie's bad side. She can get harsh."

"So what? I'm trying to spend time with you. She can wait. Just text her."

I pulled my phone from my silver clutch. My familiar lock screen to my iPhone 4 popped up and I tapped in my passcode. Scrolling through my contacts to the "C" her name came up. I laughed as I saw her contact name "Cassie The Hot One" I pressed the contact button, wondering how to tell her I'd be staying out later than her curfew, I pressed 'Send Message'.

Me: Hey Babes! Liam and I are staying out past curfew, see ya later!

Before I could lock my phone, a text popped up. Cass had always been a speed texter.

Cass: I hate you! I don't want to be here all alone with all these annoying guys!

Me: You have Brit and Em

Cassie: Whatever :/

I giggled and clicked my phone off. Liam smiled at me and we kept walking through the streets. This was such a perfect night.

I smiled as I stepped out of Liam's car. He stepped out and walked me to the front porch. He had a certain gleam in his eyes. I looked into them and smiled. As he did the same, I stood on my tiptoes and kissed him.

I was quickly inturrupted by the porch door swinging open and revealing 3 tired looking girls. Cass grabbed my arm before I could say goodbye, and yanked me inside the house. I shot her a dirty look before running to the window and tapping it. Liam turned and I waved. He smirked before blowing me a kiss.

"What the hell Lily?!" Britt yelled. I slowly turned to face her.

She was wearing a pair of balck Victoria's Secret leggings that said Pink on the butt in aqua, along with a matching aqua Hollister T-shirt. Her hair was in a messy bun sticking out in a million directions and she had bags under her eyes.

I gave a worthless smile knowing how agressive Britt could get when she angry. She narrowed her eyebrows at me and took a step towards me. I stepped back. This continued until I ran out and hit the kitchen counter. The other girls were following, looking annoyed.

I noticed Cassie wearing her shortest pair of hot pink nike pros with a tight black tanktop and her pink sports bra. Her hair was pulled up in a high ponytail with her side bangs pulled back.

Emily was wearing a pair of grey abercrombie sweats and green spaghetti strap tank. Her hair was left down.

"Why were you kissing Liam? You've known the idiot for, like, a week! Are you two together? How was the date? Did you use protection?" Her mood changed. I slapped her arm angrily on that last one.

"I like him, he's not an idiot, we're not officially together, the date was amazing, and I'm not a whore." I said quickly.

"Good. Now it's one thirty AM so if we could please go to bed? And that's an order, not a question." Cassie said before turning around and walking away with her arms crossed, not giving us a chance to reply.

We just walked back to hotel suite of a room.

Once we got there, I changed into a lavender nike pros with a matching sports bra, then I threw a tight, dark grey tank top on over it.

"God, what is with you two and nike pros and sports bras?" Brit asked.

"We used to be cheerleaders." We replied together, then we laughed, and looked at each other a little sadly. We missed high school.

"Hey, let's watch movies! I'm not tired," Em said energetically.

"I'm down," Brit said.

"Me too," Lily said

"Ugh, fine" Cass complained

We walked down the hall to the movie room, and Cass used the intercom to ask the chefs to make us popcorn, and bring us candy.

So, I explained everything to the girls.

"And he was soo adorable! He was always smiling, and he was so sweet!

"Aw," We all said.

Later, we fell asleep while watching 'The Notebook', not even getting far enough into the movie to start crying.

I snuggled up in the pink fuzzy blanket of Cassie's, drifting off into sleep.

 Brittany's POV

As I fell asleep, I had a vivid dream.

*DREAM* 

"C'mon Brit! It'll be fun!" Louis insisted. I gave him an uncertain look. He just rolled his eyes and lifted me over his shoulder. I smacked his back and kicked and screeched but nothing worked.

"Louis please! I just don't want to go on the balcony!" I yelled.

"We're not goin' on no balcony sweetheart." An all too familiar voice chuckled. I froze in fear.

 Gavin.

 I screamed at the top of my lungs.

 *END OF DREAM*

 "Brittany wake up!" a voice yelled. I opened my eyes, which had previously been screwed shut, sweaty and choking for air. I turned to see  Louis smiling at me. I reached out to him and he wrapped his arms around me. I jumped out of bed, still shaken up by the dream, and headed towards the guest bathroom.

Apparently the girls had called Louis since no one else could get me to wake up. He rushed over as quickly as he could and now here we are.

I splashed my face with cool water, trying to rid it of my tears, mascara, and the pale streaks in my foundation from where I'd been crying.

I walked back to the guest bedroom and crawled back into my bed, with Louis right behind me. He held me close and for once I was able to sleep peacfully.
