Song + cute Skylar (Ariana Grande)
I had a smug smile on my face when the boys entered Skylar’s small apartment. Niall was last to go in and was hesitant when he hugged me. He looked down when he wanted to go in too, but I stopped him. I had to talk to him. ‘Niall…’ I sighed and bit my lip. ‘I’m so sorry for what I did to you and I’m sorry I made you very sad. I’ll regret it forever. You know why?’ I asked him. He looked up, his blue eyes big and bright. ‘Because I do love you Niall, but I’m not the right girl for you. You’ll find her one day, I promise.’ He nodded and smiled. ‘It’s okay, I forgive you,’ he said, hugging me tightly. We entered the apartment, where the guys were lazily hanging on the couches, eating chips. I was sure they didn’t bring anything, so that means they just raided the kitchen. ‘Guys! This was not the plan,’ I chuckled. ‘There’s always time for food, so…’ Niall said, stuffing a hand full of chips in his mouth. ‘Then why are we here?’ Zayn sighed. I face palmed myself, is this guy serious?! ‘To surprise my friend! She’ll come any second now, I’ll wait for her outside.’ I glanced outside and saw her walking up the stairs. ‘She’s here guys!’ I whisper/yelled and shut the door. I walked towards her and she didn’t look very pleased to see me. ‘Skylar, can we just-’ ‘Not now, Demi, I’m tired.’ She opened the door and I bit my lip not to squeal in excitement. She flicked the light on -which one of the guys must’ve turned off, since I didn’t- and the guys jumped up from behind the couch, yelling ‘Surprise!’ Skylar dropped her keys and her mouth fell open as she stared at the five boys. ‘I- you- wha- I don’t-’ that’s all she could say. The boys chuckled and I pulled her by her hand towards them. I introduced them, even though she already knew, and I could see her giving glances towards Louis. ‘Guys, give us a minute okay? We’ll be right back, make yourself at home.’ I said, pulling Skylar with me to her bedroom. She squealed and hugged me. ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you!’ I smiled and wiped away some of her tears. ‘Babe, please know that I was going to tell you, I was just waiting for the right moment to do so.’ She bit her lip and nodded. ‘Yeah, I know, I’m sorry, I overreacted.’ We hugged again, then she pulled away and looked at me strictly. ‘So now that this is over, I want to set up some rules, well one rule; Louis. Is. Mine.’ Then she smirked. ‘No problem, you look cute together!’ ‘So do you and Liam,’ she replied, a big smirk on her lips. ‘There’s nothing going on between me and Liam!’ ‘Sure, keep telling yourself that…’ she said, wiggling her eyebrows. I glared at her. ‘Beware because I will tell Louis embarrassing things about you, missy!’ I said, before flipping my hair over my shoulder and walking out of the room. I said down between Liam and Niall when Skylar sat down between Niall and Harry. We talked for a while, so the boys could get to know her better and they all seemed to like her very much. It was getting late and the boys said they had to leave. Skylar frowned and Liam noticed. ‘How about you come with us and we-’ ‘EAT SOMETHING!’ Niall screamed, throwing his hands up in the air. ‘Yeah, and eat something, I was going to say that, idiot!’ Liam said, punching Niall playfully, they ended up in a playful fight with me between them. Harry stood up and called some cabs, since they came with a cab too. Louis quickly took Harry’s seat next to Skylar and I could see her blushing. That cheeky bastard!
‘Oh, guys, the cab is here!’ I yelled and pulled Skylar out. We asked them for two cabs since we would never fit in one, but they came with a mini-van, which was cool too. Louis immediately took a seat in the far back. I nudged Skylar, who didn’t look sure of what to do. ‘Go on.’ Harry sat next to Skylar. Liam, Zayn and I sat on the row in front of that, and Niall sat in the front, he didn’t seem to mind though. Louis was trying to impress Skylar with some of his weird, adventurous stories and Skylar couldn’t help but smile. I turned around and looked at Liam. As if he felt my stare, he turned to me and smiled. ‘Sorry again, about the paparazzi. I hope you won’t get in trouble with your boyfriend.’ Liam whispered in my ear, so our conversation would stay private. ‘No need to apologized, it was a fun day, I needed that. He probably won’t even notice, he never reads magazines or papers anyway.’ ‘But if he does and you get in trouble, tell me and I’ll explain everything.’ I smiled at him. ‘Thanks, Liam.’ ‘Any time, Demz.’
The taxi stopped and I could see paparazzi surrounding the van. ‘Oh my God.’ I felt my body tremble from fear and adrenaline. Niall paid the driver and we got out. Liam wrapped his arm around me as paparazzi attacked us with questions. ‘So Liam, is this your girlfriend?!’ one asked and held his microphone close to Liam’s face. ‘She’s just a really good friend of us,’ he replied and guided me to the fence. Louis had his arm wrapped around Skylar and protected her from everything around us. We were in the garden now and closed the fence behind us, luckily they couldn’t come here, they would be on private ground. We entered the house and Skylar gasped at everything around her, it was beautiful. ‘Wow, this is awesome, guys!’ she said, looking around. ‘Want me to show you around?’ I ask, looking at Louis and raising my eyebrow. He got the hint and said; ‘I’ll come with you.’
We had seen a few rooms when I heard Niall call me. ‘Well, I’ll go see what he needs, you guys behave, okay?’ I smirked and I could see them both blushing a bit. I walked downstairs and found a distraught Niall in the kitchen. ‘What’s up?’ ‘I need some potato-chips, but they’re on the top shelf. I can’t reach it and the boys won’t help me,’ he said, pouting, like a little kid. ‘Potato-chips? We haven’t even had dinner yet, Niall! First dinner, then chips.’ I said, in a strict kind of way. ‘Awh, you’re no fun.’ I glared at him while he just grinned, then he lifted me over his shoulder and walked towards the others, who laughed when they noticed me. ‘Yeah, I know, very funny guys,’ I replied, rolling my eyes, but I couldn’t help but laugh too. Niall threw me on the couch on top of the boys, who groaned when I landed on them. ‘Karma!’ I sang and stuck out my tongue. ‘You guys are very comfy,’ I grinned and remained in their laps, as we watched Power Rangers. Even before the episode ended, Zayn groaned. ‘That’s enough, get off me now.’ ‘No, I’m really comfortable.’ ‘Are you sure you wanna do this,’ he asked, grinning like a fool. ‘I’m not scared of you ZaynieWaynie.’ He lifted his eyebrow as the other laughed and he started to tickle me. I screamed and laughed till I was crying. ‘What’s going on in here?’ Louis asked as he and Skylar walked in. ‘Zayn was trying to kill me!’ I pouted and wiped away a tear. ‘Aw, of course not babez, I was just teasing you,’ he said and pulled me up in his lap. ‘We okay now?’ he asked and I smiled. ‘Of course.’ The guys made ‘aw’-noises, just to tease us. ‘Ah, shut up,’ I laughed. I heard Niall’s stomach rumble and giggled. ‘I think we better order some food, guys,’ I said, gesturing towards Niall. ‘Pizzatime!’ Niall yelled, grabbing the phone.
‘Omg, Demz, thank you so much for today, it was the best day ever! Louis was so cute and sweet and…’ she sighed and dreamily looked in the distance. She opened her apartment and gave me one last hug before we said our goodbyes. She did offer me to stay over, but I have to face Daniel some day. I opened the door and put on my happy-act again. ‘Hey babe, I’m back.’ I tried to kiss him but he turned away. ‘So, how are you doing Liam’s new girlfriend?’ he asked, glaring. My eyes fell on a magazine, which had that title. I turned to look at the ground, too scared to talk. ‘WELL?!’ he screamed, jumping up. ‘I- We were just hanging out in the park, as friends. Paparazzi made this shit up. Daniel, you know I love you.’ My voice is trembling, just like the rest of my body. ‘Cut the crap! You don’t just hug friends that way and lie on top of them!’ He said, slapping me in my face with the magazine. ‘I’m so fucking done with you, you know that? I brought you here! I gave you everything! And what do I get? A cheating girlfriend?! You’re nothing but a fucking whore,’ he said throwing me to the ground and continuously kicking me. I protected my head as I just took the beating, there’s no use in fighting back. I’m going to die, is all I can think. He stopped for a minute to catch his breath, and when he did, I took my chance and ran. I ran outside and onto the streets, as fast as I could. ‘Yeah, run you whore! And don’t come back or I’ll kill you!’ I heard him yell from the apartment. After a few streets, when I was sure he wasn’t following me, I slid down to the cold, hard ground and cried as I tried to catch my breath. Why, why me?
Nearing the end :(
