One Direction to the Rescue

The Bidding War-ch22

Scott’s point of view

I stood on the runway with my eyes closed.  I really didn’t think people would bid on me and then I heard Morgan announce.

“Well my house is needed for a cleaning so I’ll start with $5,000” he said holding up his own sign.

I looked at him shocked, $5,000? Really?  I thought I would be lucky to get $1,000.

“Do I hear $6,000?” he said looking out into the crowd.  “Do I hear $7,000?”.  I was so shocked, I guess a lot of people need their houses cleaned I laughed to myself.

I started walking up and down the runway trying to see who all was bidding.  It was a good idea to have the signs be neon because I could barely see the faces.  As I was coming back I tuned back into the numbers.  “Do I hear $15,000?”

Wait $15,000?  I’m sort of nervous now, I don’t want people to give all this money just for a day with me.  Then again I thought it was for the kids and wanted people to keep going higher.

I was walking back down the runway when I saw a sign flash close to the stage.  I squinted as trying to see who it was so I could thank them later.  When I got closer I saw it was him.  Harry was here… and he was bidding on me.  I reflexively grabbed my necklace, we held each others eyes for a moment as I kept walking.  I got lost in those eyes when I didn’t feel ground underneath my foot anymore.

I was falling off the runway now, I started to flail so I could catch myself but I was too weak to do anything.  When did I become so weak?  I saw the ground coming and bam.  I was now laying on the ground and heard gasps throughout the room.

I laid there for a moment when people were rushing too me.  I was being helped up by someone and turned to thank the person.  I felt dizzy but I was slowly gaining my sight back.  I was lloking at the persons chest when I focused on their necklace.  I instantly knew who it was.  I was now face to face with the one person I didn’t want to be… but at the same time wanted to only be with, Harry.

Harry’s point of view

Once the bidding started I had no idea how high it was going to go but I needed this time to talk to him.  I know it seems desperate but he wasn’t going to talk to me any other way.  I had my sign ready to start bidding.  Morgan started the bidding at $5,000.

When he asked for the next bid I was about to put my sign up but someone else already had it up.  Great it seems that other people wanted this too.  Maybe some are just doing it for the charity but I wanted this day.

He started walking down the runway, he was squinting into the audience trying to see people.  I guess it was hard with the room so dark and all the lights on the stage.  I tried getting his attention but he couldn’t see me.  I got the next bid, but only for someone to snap it away at the next price.  This was going to be harder than I thought.  I kept putting my sign up but saw a lot of other people doing it also.

“Why are you betting on him so much?” Liam asked

“Yea can’t you just hang out with him without having to buy him?” Zayn added.

I didn’t know how to respond.  “Guys it’s all for a good cause!” Louis said defending me while putting his sign up to place the next bid.  I just mouthed ‘thanks’ to him and he nodded.

I went back to paying attention to the bidding.  It was getting kind of high but I still through my sign up.  Scott was walking back down the runway and I guess my sign caught his attention.  He was getting closer when we locked eyes.  I saw him grab his necklace and I smiled thinking it must be a habit for him too.  I didn’t even notice when he kept walking by and we were still staring at each other.  He was looking over his shoulder when I saw him start to step off the runway.
