Me, Cher and One Direction // n.h

Chapter Eleven: Gotcha! Wait, Where Did You Go?

Reading back some of this made me cringe ;) Haha. Here's me. Editing. Picture on the side is Cher and Niall...you know, I was watching BGT and this twelve-going-on-eight year old girl acoustically sang Turn My Swag On and it matched Cher's performance (except the acoustics) and I got really protective!! I was convinced she was only copying Cher because Cher's gotten far, and TMSO wasn't a good choice for her at all! I don't know why I came to these conclusions!! Being a Brat, I guess. Bye cookies.

Chapter Eleven: Gotcha! Wait, Where Did You Go?

Cher's P.O.V:

"Well, at least Lily doesn't know." sighed Niall, and looked at me for agreement. What have I done? I may have just split up the cutest couple in the world. 

"Oops." I thought, biting down on my lip until I tasted blood. I watched Niall grin at me and begin to talk. I'm a decent liar, but I look pretty shifty, so I decided to go.

"Um...I'm gonna go...Louis....stuff to do..." I started, before hurrying off. Before I could go anywhere however, I bashed into a chest. Louis.

"Hey babe! What's up?" He grinned. "Nialler, Lily told me to tell you.." he said, then he scratched his head. Idiot. WHAT DID SHE SAY?! 

"Tell me what?" Niall asked curiously, and smiled a lopsided smile, like he did whenever he thought of her. I groaned inwardly, he really did like her. I even saw a photo in his wallet.

"Oh! That she hates you and if you ever talk to her again, she will personally kick you in the dingaling. Trut me, it hurts." Louis' usually friendly tone turned harsh, and he became protective over his little sister.

I felt a surge of guilt settle in my stomach. I gulped and glanced back at Louis. He was glaring at Niall, scornfully.

"Listen, mate, I don't know what you did to Lily, but if you hurt my sis, you will regret it. I'd rather hurl myself off the top of Big bloody Ben rather than see her cry. Got it? Cool, see you at rehearsal. Maybe you'll turn up for a change." he shot a warning look at his Irish friend, then ruffled my hair, and slipped round the corner.

"Hey Aiden! Upset about Belle Amie's elimination?"I heard him chuckle. I could almost see him nudge a blushing Aiden, who we all knew, had a big crush on Geneva Lane. I turned my attention back to Niall who looked a mixture of upset, confused and angry.

"Niall-" I started, trying to make amends. 

"What the fuck?" he said, bewildered. Obviously not putting two and two together. "She thinks she can play games? Hard to get? Well two can play, Miss T. Let's see how you like the silent treatment."

"Oh noooo!" I wailed, raking fingers through my hair as he left, muttering under his breath. 

*************

I couldn't get either of them to go within twenty metres of each other. Lily seemed to be absolutely fuming over what I'd told her. She was both furious and terribly upset, but she was holding back tears. I felt dreadful, to say the least. She wouldn't listen to me, when I tried to explain. She'd say, "I refuse to talk about that cheating arse. Now, Cher, please change the subject or I'll leave."

Meanwhile, Niall was puzzled and angry at Lily for being a 'diva' as he called it. I couldn't keep him in my sight, it's like he can't sit still for more than two minutes. If I got a hold of Niall, Lily would disappear into thin air. When I tracked her down at the gym, Niall would materialise into Simon's room. When he got out, it was time for my rehearsal. It was all really frustrating.

After a long session of reaching high notes, I went in search in Lily. I had to get them to talk, and as a bonus, it would spare me the explaining. 

"Have you seen Lil?" I asked Matt in the gym, running on a treadmill. He shrugged.

"Check the caf?" I nodded and he saluted me with a tip of his trademark hat. I went down to the bar, where I'd sometimes go for a drink. Technically I wasn't of age, but sometimes the stress and pressure gets to me. 

"Sophie, have you seen Lillienne?" I asked the barmaid. "It's like she's invisible, like that chick in The Incredibles." Sophie went to look through her bills.

"She was last here at three o clock. Haven't seen her since. I think she said she's gone down to chat with Rebecca."

"Thanks, Sophie." 

********

I heard her singing The Wanted and pushed the door open. She stopped singing and looked up, smiled, and then put her headphones back on. 

"Lily! I have been looking for you everywhere! Come with me." I said, tired. What wouldn't I give to have a nice sleep in, for once.

"Where, Cher-minator?" she giggled, probably a bit hyper.

"Somewhere." I answered, and grabbed her wrist. 

Now to find Niall.

Of course, to make things harder, I couldn't ask around for Niall or she would simply refuse to come and vanish off somewhere. Instead I just scoured the entire houses. Lily looked annoyed. She looked tired too.

"Where are we going?" She kept pressing. I shrugged and kept trundling on. Suddenly Lily broke away and marched off in the other direction. What a stubborn... She tripped over my foot and went flying. I yelped. Just as her face was about to hit solid concrete, someone yanked at her arm and pulled her upright. My heart leapt when I saw who it was. Niall.

"Are you - oh it's you." Niall grunted and let go of her hand. Lily glared at me. Aha! Perfect. Now they'd talk. Such stubborn mules, the two.

"Gotcha! Wait where did YOU go?" I groaned when I saw Lily walk-running off.

"GET HER!" I shrieked and an astonished Liam seized Lily's arm. Lily sighed and pushed him off, returning to me. She looked into Niall's blue eyes and it was as if she was typing a thought to him. 

"Lillienne Tomlinson. you have to listen to me." I said firmly.

"What, then?" she stamped her foot.

"Niall and Lily. What I told both of you - nothing was true. I messed up, big time. Lily - Tori was only Nialls home friend. I jumped to conclusions. Niall - I told Lily and she believed me. That what Lou was on about. I'm sorry."

Next thing I knew was that Niall pulled us into a group hug. They felt so warm around me, and I put my arms on their shoulders. My friends. I  love friends.

"Yay! Friends for life!" I squealed like a kid.

"Guys. Something really bad's happened." said Harry, out of the blue. We jumped, and realised he'd been politely standing behind us. 

"What?" Lily asked, shrugging us off. Worry was etched over her face. 

"It's not us, it's you. Cheryl's gone, she's ill. Felt faint in a rehearsal and just collapsed. It's the malaria, poor thing. She's been carted off, and you've no mentor." Harry said, quietly. 

"Will the drama ever stop?" wailed Lily, putting her head in her hands. I had to agree. It was like we were trouble magnets.

Sorry for this awful chapter. I have a new story coming soon and guess what? it's not fanfiction!! Anyway, see you. Hope you enjoyed this. Comment vote and fan.
