Behind the Glasses

Excuse Me?

"I cried.... I thought it was over." Harry's voice says through the phone.

"So what...they basically told you you didn't make it, said you were going home on stage and then as soon as your backstage they called your name and put you in group saying just kidding, your back in the competition?!"

"Yep."

"That's just wrong.... But I'm glad your back in!" I say truthfully, "how many people are in your group?"

"It's me and four other guys but you'll never believe who's in the group..." He says and even through the phone I can hear the shock in his voice.

"Who?"

"Zayn."

"MALIK?!" I asked astonished.

"Yep, and then the 3 other guys are Louis, Liam, and Niall."

"Hmmm, they sound nice."

"Yeah, we hung out tonight and we all sound pretty good together like when we sing..... They are in the other room as we speak watching tv. I can already tell we're going to be reallyy good friends."

"That's good babe, so what are they like?"

"Well I thought Louis was gay but it turns out he's just really sassy, but he's hilarious! Niall is Irish and he eats just about anything in sight and then there's Liam, he's pretty cool too.. You have to come and visit soon! I can't wait for you to meet the boys, you already know Zayn but I mean the rest of them... They'd love you but not as much as I love you."

"Oh.. Is that so?" I ask playfully

"Yep, it's impossible for someone to love and miss you as much as I do."

"That's not true because I definitely love and miss you just as much." I say smiling.

"Your so cute." He says.

"How do you know... You can't see me." I say in a sassy tone.

"Because I can just tell, your always perfect." And my cheeks fill with red, "and I bet your doing that cute blushing thing that kills me right now." I laugh because it's true.

"Ok so what if I am!" I say playfully,"look I gotta run. Unlike you I actually have homework to do. I'll call you later ok?"

"Yea go be studious. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Love you!"

"Love you too. Bye." I hang up then toss my phone on the bed.

I saunter out of my room and prance down the stairs. I take a seat at the kitchen counter and pull out my books and start on chemistry homework.

As soon as I complete my homework and finish putting my stuff away, I hear the door open and my father walks in.

"Hi pumpkin." my dad wearily says as he pats me on the shoulder.

"Hey daddy, how was work?"

He rubs his hand on his face and takes a deep breath.

"It was good, listen, the head of committee's wife just fell into a coma so he is taking off to be with her until she recovers so they are sending your mother and I to the head office to take over for a while."

"Oh... When are you leaving?"

"Tonight."

"Oh, that's so soon... How long will you be gone?"

"We'll be gone for at least 3 weeks, maybe longer and we're going all the way to New York."

"New York, wow, and 3 weeks is a long time to be so far away, but I'm sure I'll be fine."

Three weeks. Three whole weeks. This cannot get any better.

"Are you sure sweetie? I mean I'm a little concerned that I will be leaving you without anyone, I'd feel more comfortable if someone was with you."

"I can see if I can stay with Jessica. I'll be find dad I promise."

"Well alright, listen I just came to pack bags for your mother and I. She says she loves you and will talk to you as soon as she can. I'm going to pack."

He walks put of the kitchen and into his bedroom. I hear the rustle of clothes and the closing of drawers. Shortly after, he walks out with two very large suitcases.

"Wow that was the fastest you've ever packed!"

"What can I say I'm in a rush! I gotta get back to the office. I'm sorry this is such late notice. I trust you will be responsible. Make good choices Ally. I love you and I trust you."

"Love you too dad."

He wrapped me I a tight hug and then walked out the door. As soon as I lock the door behind me, I run upstairs and grab my phone and dial Taylor's number....

Come on, pick up pick up pick up.....

"Hello?"

"Jessica!" I scream into the phone.

"What?!" she yells back through the phone.

"Pack your stuff because we're going to see Harry."

"Excuse me?" she questions.

"You hear me loud and clear! I said we are going to see Harry"

"That is totally and completely ridiculous." she says.

"No it's not!"

"Yes, Ally it is. We have school and my mom wouldn't let me go even if I begged. What about your parents?"

"They left for a three week business trip because the committee head's wife is in a coma." I tell her.

"Wow that's crazy. I don't know Ally." she says.

"Please I'll do all the planning and I'll use my debit card to pay for everything. I have all the money. All you have to do is accompany me so I'm not alone. Plus I think Harry will like to see you. PLUS I heard there are lots of cute single boys. It's a win for everyone and you know it."

There was a long silence before Jessica said anything.

"Fine, fine I'll go."

"Eeeepp! Thank you so much! It'll be such a great time!"

"Yeah yeah I'm sure it will."

"I'll get planning. Ask your mom then let me know what she says."

"Alright I will. See ya tomorrow." The line went dead.

I can't believe I convinced her to go. This is going to be a fantastic trip I can already tell.

I look at the clock and see that it is almost one in the morning. Jeez I need to get some shut eye. But how will I figure out this surprise thing? I guess I'll give Zayn a quick call.

"Hello?" Zayn's voice echoes through the phone after multiple rings.

"Hey Zayn, It's Ally!"

"Ohh,Hey! What's up"

"Nothing much, I'm trying to plan a little surprise for Harry though and I need your help."

"Alright, I'm in. Wh-"

"Who's on the phone?" I hear a deep voice ask from far a way and I can tell its Harry.

"Al-" he starts.

"SHHHHHHHHH! Don't say my name!!!!!" I practically yell.

"-bert" he finishes when I'm done. "Yeah... Albert. He's a cousin of mine."

"Oh." Harry says.

"Yeah, uhh hold on Albert, I think I'm starting to lose connection. Let me go upstairs to MY ROOM where it will work better." He adds emphasis on 'my room' as a ill wink-wink hint-hint thing that's most likely translates to "lemme get the hell out of here because Harry's up my arse"

I can hear a dingy noise on the other line and then some music to follow so I assume he's in an elevator. Ding. The elevator dings again and I can hear him heavily breathing as he practically runs down the hall to his room.

"Okay, I'm in my room alone now." He says letting out a deep breathe, "so what's the plan?"
