Breathe

Chapter 12

My chest got tight and it got harder and harder to breathe with every step I took toward Harry’s motionless body. I got right next to him and bent down and got on my knees very slowly. “Harry” I whispered as I reached out to him. Not making contact as I was afraid of what would happen. “Harry” I whispered again after waiting for a response from the first time. Bucking up the courage to actually shake him I reached out and poked his shoulder. I flung myself back and hit my head and back against the hallway wall holding my chest trying to keep my heart from breaking my rib cage, as Harry popped the top half of his body up and flipping his head to his left to look at who had poked him.

“OH MY GOD HARRY!” I screamed “You scared the shit out of me!” I said still holding my chest flinging my head back against the wall closing my eyes as I sat in the fetal position up against the hallway wall. Harry didn’t say a word as he stayed on the ground just looking at me his eyes wide with concern.

“WHAT?” I heard someone say just down the hall. Harry and I turned our heads toward the voice and saw Niall popping his head out of his hotel room in a pair of basketball shorts rubbing his eyes. He must have just woken up from me screaming at Harry.

“WHAT? WHAT HAPPENED?” Liam came running out of his room and into the middle of the hallway. We all just looked at him as he had panic all over his face. No one said anything. Niall even took his attention off Harry and I and onto Liam. “What?” Liam asked as he looked at Niall, Harry and I. “What!” he stood there now befuddled not knowing what was going on. He looked to Niall who had cleared his throat to get his attention. He flicked his eye’s down and back up to Liam and made a little gesture pointing to Liam’s lower half of his body.

Harry blurted out a loud laughing noise before quickly covering his mouth and shoving his face back into the hallway carpet with some noises still escaping through his hand. Liam blushing looked over to me sitting in the ground. My jaw was to the floor. I couldn’t help it. What I saw was just the most spectacular thing I’ve ever seen. Liam’s wet freshly showered body standing there with nothing but a towel around his waist. His muscles glistened around ever crease of his tan skin. His wet hair pushed to the side and little water droplets falling down his insanely crisp abs. His tattoos looked almost darker from the water soaking into his skin. Making them even sexier.

“SHIT!” is all that came out of Liam’s mouth as he ran back into his room realizing the situation that he had put himself into. His tan cheeks turning a bright red and his eyes filling with embarrassment. He was so cute as he struggled to open the door and make his way into his room.

“AAAAHHHHAHAHAAAAA!!!” the laughter from Harry and Niall pulled my attention back. Seeing as they weren’t gonna stop laughing anytime soon I got up off the floor and went back into my hotel room blushing myself as I had just witness what I had envisioned in day dreams and more.

Back in my room Alex was laying flat out on her bed just staring at the ceiling. “WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!” I yelled at her. She had me all worried and scared for my life thinking something terrible had happened to Harry.

“What?” she replied just turning her head to look at me.

“I though something happened to Harry!” I said throwing my hands up and gestured toward the hallway as if she was able to actually see what I was showing her. “I thought Harry was hurt! That someone shot him or something and they tried to hurt you too!” I said furious.

“What why did you think that?” Alex asked now sitting up and speaking in a louder tone.

“Um I don’t know maybe because you asked if you were still ALIVE!”

“Well you would ask me the same question if you were hanging out with Harry freaking Styles!” now she was throwing her hands up in the air. “Seriously! This can’t be real! I’m either dreaming, which I pinched myself so that’s out, or I’m dead!” I guess she made a point. But then why was Harry just laying on the floor?

“Are you sure nothing bad happened or anything?” I asked now sitting in the corner of my bed.

“Yeah. He just walked me to our room and said see you later.” she flung her legs over to the side of her bed to face me. “Why?”

“Because Harry was laying face first on the ground. Didn’t you hear me say that?” I was repeating myself.

“WHAT! No I didn’t hear that! Why was he on the ground? Is he ok?” Alex jumped up from her bed and practically onto me freaking out.

“Yeah he was just laying there like he…” I stopped.

“LIKE WHAT? TELL ME!” she yelled waiting for me to finish. I smirked up at her as she grabbed my shoulders and started shaking me violently. “WHAT PAISLEY? WHAT!”

“Harry likes you.” I teased her, raising my eyebrows up and down.

“Oh my god shut up! He does not.” she said pushing me. All I did was look at her and smirked again and she went berserk! I’m not even sure she was speaking words. But I thought about it. If nothing happened to him then he must have really liked her. Cause I know if that was me I would have flung myself onto the floor if I got to hang out with someone I liked. In fact… I did, with Liam. I had flung myself onto my bed and freaked out. It was cute to think about Harry doing that and being all giddy. I just watched as Alex danced around the room.

I looked at the time, it was almost 4:30 “SHIT!” I jumped up from the bed and ran over to my suit case throwing clothes up in the air all over the floor.

“What? What’s wrong?” Alex asked stopping her happy dance.

“I have a date with Liam in half an hour and I don’t know what to wear!” I said with my head in my suit case. “Can you help me? Do you have anything I can borrow?” I turned to look at her. She could see the anxiety I was having and brought her suit case right next to me and sat on the floor and searched through her clothes.

“Here.” she took out a shirt a tossed it onto the bed. Then got up and grabbed my jean shorts I had thrown across the room and my white converse. She laid it all out on the bed. It was cute, casual, and perfect to just go to dinner.

“Are you sure a cropped top band shirt will be ok?” I said picking it up and looking in the mirror. I was having doubts. I didn’t want to look like trash.

“No this is cute! And its not like this crop top isn’t covering anything.” she reassured me. “When you put it on it’s gonna cover but be flowing just enough for that little peak at your stomach. He’ll be trying to sneak a peak. Tease him a little.” she smiled at her witty words.

I went into the bathroom and changed out of my sofie shorts and tank. I needed to change fast cause it was 10 till 5. I came out looking at the finished product in the mirror as I had put a bit of eye liner and eye shadow on. Alex was right about the shirt. It was just long enough to cover but flowed nicely giving a little peak at my stomach. The black shirt made me look tanner than normal with the slightly see through fabric. It was a Rolling Stones shirt, which was cliché cause everyone wears their shirts now. But it was a really comfy shirt. My jean shorts and white converse went really well with the shirt. It looked like I wasn’t trying too hard but in reality I was.

As 5 o’clock rolled around I sat there with Alex talking about what we did with Harry and Liam. I was getting nervous as every minute passed. It was now 15 after 5 and Liam hadn’t come. What was he doing? I was getting worried and pissed at the same time. I didn’t know what to think or do. Then as it became 6 o’clock I gave up. I knew what was going on. He stood me up. I mean I knew that it was a long shot that I was actually gonna go on a date with Liam Payne. But I didn’t realize that he would be so low and stand me up like this. I changed my clothes and went to my bed and just watched TV with Alex. She knew I didn’t want to talk about it and she wasn’t happy either. So we just ordered Pizza and sat in silence.
