The Best Days (ON HOLD)

CH 5: "I have a strong feeling your upset."

 

2:35 A.M. 

I jerked awake when I felt my iPhone vibrate against my hip. After realizing I had fallen asleep while playing Candy Crush on it I answered the call. I saw my clock and it read: '2:34 A.M.'. My ringer also claimed Harry Styles was calling.

"Hello?" I asked and rolled onto my stomach.

"Hi. I'm sorry for the inconvenience but we need some help." The voice was still a man's but not Harry's.

"Who is this?" I asked. This was addling.

"Oh I'm so sorry. This is Liam. I have Hope right?"

"Yes."

"Good! See, all five of us boys were on our way home from a restaurant when we ran out of gas. Louis was driving and he didn't notice the dings to tell him he was low. Haha funny lad."

"I can help you. Just one question."

"What's that now?"

"Why do you have Harry's phone?"

"He handed it to me and he's watching me now as we speak. He handed it to me as you were still ringing. I don't know why." I got up and went to my closet

"Alright. Put him on the phone. I have to get dressed. See ya Liam."

"Bye. Here he is." I heard muffled sounds and a bit of squabble.

"Hello Hope." Harry said cheerfully. He had a tired voice which I found attractive.

"Hey. Where are you?"

"You're coming?"

"Yeah. You're out of gas aren't you?"

"Yes. I just thought you weren't going to."

"Like I would leave 5 boys out in their car all night. Now tell me where you are."

"We're on Maiden Lane by 'Rules'. We are a Ford escape. Black."

"Alright. I'll be there in a jiffy. Hang tight and don't do anything stupid."

"Roger that. Bye Hope and thank you."

"You're welcome. Bye."

------------------------------------

I pulled over behind the black Ford. And around it were the 5 One Direction boys loitering around their, as of now, useless car.

"Thanks for coming Hope." Liam said and greeted me with a hug.

"Welcome." I said quietly. I was choked up and couldn't make out the 'You're'. My cheeks flushed with heat as we parted. I popped open my trunk and took out the gas can. Louis took it with a smile and hastily filled their car.

"Nice car." Harry said softly, sliding his hand over the hood of my car while walking in my direction.

"Thanks. It was a two hour drive down south for it." I leaned against my car. Louis came back to me to return the empty gas can. I met PJ buying this car. He was the previous owner.

"Good milage?"

"Yeah."

"Good, good." We had a moment of silence before we continued our conversation. "Niall told me to tell you that-"

"Harry thinks you're beautiful!" Louis blurted out. The thought of him admiring me played a smile on my lips. I'm sure I was blushing. Harry however was as bright as a rose in his cheeks.

"Well," Harry said frustrated that Louis had spilled his 'secret'. (But it wasn't secret since he was flirting just a moment ago and I knew it.)

"Eh, shake it off Harold." Niall nonchalantly and rested his elbow on Harry's shoulder. I wanted to giggle at how cute this whole moment was. No doubt this situation was interesting for me.
