Me, Cher and One Direction // n.h

Chapter Five: The Two Matchmakers.

Thanks to TazzyK1D AGAIN because had you not given me the idea, I would be clueless and not uploading. But she's an awesome fan, really. You should read her. You know, like usual, I have no idea what's gonna happen, except the general plot. Also, this isn't a great chapter, but please keep reading. Vote. Comment. Spread The Word. And Please fan. I would love this to get to somewhere on What's Hot on FanFictions, but I know it won't, but I can hope, right?

Lots and lots of love,

The results show was on. It was nerve wracking. My knees shook and Cheryl held my hand, sqeezing it. Butterflies flitted about in my stomach, making me want to throw up. Cher had wrapped an arm round my shoulders. Louis gave me a thumbs up. I winked back, trying to be brave. I wasn't listening to Dermot call out the results, really. Only three names mattered. Cher Lloyd, One Direction and Lily Tomlinson.

"The next act through to live show two is...Lily!" my heart nearly stopped with relief. I couldn't hear the names being called backstage, where I waited impatiently. 

"Oh thank goodness!" I sighed as Cher came running back. I bit my lip.

"Yes!" we breathed as five boys ran towards us, punching the air. I gave a hug to all of them. Except Niall. I still wasn't at all happy with him. Louis looked worriedly at Cher, who mouthed something I couldn't understand. I glanced suspiciously at them, and they started whistling nonchalantly. Do they think I'm stupid or what?

"Hey, Louis. Belle Amie are having a party down in their room. Wanna go? Like NOW?" she asked, not-so-subtly. He nodded. I groaned. I went up to my room, and the boys followed. I shared a house with Rebecca, One Direction, Cher and Katie. Cher and Katie were always fighting, it did my head in.

"They're up to something." Harry pointed out, unnecessarily. I shared a room with Cher, but the boys seemed to enjoy inviting themselves in. 

"Want to go to Belle Amie's party?" Liam suggested, grinning.

"I'd love to." I replied, smacking my lips.

*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!

Cher's P.O.V: 

Me and Louis laughed our way down to Belle Amie and Aiden's house. I really liked Louis, as both a friend and..well, the other way. He was really hilarious. He made my tummy flutter. But he reminded me why we'd come to the party. So we could hook up Niall and Lily. Oh, we know about the policy! But, really, who gives a damn? You can't order people to not date, it's cruel and just plain mean. I know Niall likes Lily, and I'd bet my left leg she likes him too.

"So...they aren't even on speaking terms, Lou! They're so perfect together." I complained, sounding like I was three and wanting a cookie.

"Well, what actually happened?" He quizzed, sticking his hands into his pockets. Sophia from Belle Amie was looking at us, probably wondering what we were doing in a secluded corner. I dragged him out onto the floor to dance. It was a slow song, so we both awkwardly started dancing together. Rebecca (from Belle Amie) threw a window open. I was in a halter top, so I didn't exactly appreciate it. Louis put his hoodie round me, making me blush. He has to stop doing that.

"Well, you wear them most days anyway." He pointed out.

"Oh! Those were yours? I thought they were Lily's."

He laughed. "So..what happened between my sis and Niall?" he repeated.

"Lil doesn't know I overheard the entire conversation - or rather shouting match - but Niall asked Lily out and she said no, because this means alot. Niall called her a bitch - and she started crying and they started screaming at each other." 

"Well, then, maybe they aren't meant to be." Louis shrugged. Moron.

"Of course they are!" I exploded. "Lily's just a bit too careful and Niall's hilarious, and Lily is the nicest person I know and she's really pretty, and Niall's quite cute - and they were best friends before the fight, and, and - " 

The rest of my words were drowned out by Louis's lips. I started to squeal in surprise, but then I just gave in and kissed him back. It felt amazing, like I'd just won x factor. All I could think was, "LOUIS TOMLINSON IS KISSING ME!" It was a million emotions blended into one, big happy feeling. My tummy danced, and I felt like running down the road, screaming. Our lips molded together, perfectly. I stood more on my tippy-toes to reach his tall height and wrapped my arms around him. Eventually, I broke the kiss.

"That was a really nice way of telling me to shut up!" I blushed, smiling hugely. He laughed. He dragged me down to a comfy seat and pulled me onto his lap. This was nice. I felt special, wanted. 

"So about Niall and Lily..."

"I have an idea...." I replied, winking cheekily. I could see the oh dear expression on his face.
