Love Caught Fire (One Direction Fanfiction)

23++It's Hard Making The Right Choice

Alyson's POV

I'm really starting to get pissed off. Every time I come into the room where everyone is at, they go silent and awkwardly change the conversation. What is wrong with everybody?

I heard my name being called by one of the boys so I followed the voice downstairs into the game room.

"What?" I asked.

"We need your opinion." Harry said.

"On what?"

"Clothes." Zayn replied and the 5 boys walked over to a rack filled with clothing.

"Why can't you just ask Harper and Charlie? It seems like you guys like spending time with them more than me." I snapped.

"What?" they said together.

"Nothing." I said quietly. "So why do you need my help on this? You're big boys and big boys can pick out their own outfits."

"Actually, no, we can't." Liam said. "Besides, Harper and Charlie won't help us because they wanted to go to the mall real quick."

Oh, so I guess I'm their last resort. And even worse, Charlie and Harper went on a little shopping trip without me. Great! Just great.

"So what am I here to do exactly?" I asked them.

"We're going to try on some stuff and you're going to tell us if it looks alright." Louis explained.

"Why? Where are you guys going?" Ditching me, I assume.

"We have an event tonight and our stylist is out of town." Louis replied.

I was about to ask if I could come but then I remembered that they're One Direction and if they get spotted with one girl, even for just a few minutes, everyone will start shipping.

"Alright then," I nodded. "Go try on the clothes."

Charlie's POV

I begged Harper to go shopping with me because I needed to get out of that house. The picture was eating away at me and the sight of Louis made it even worse. I still haven't told him but I honestly thought he would've found out by now, considering how much he googles himself.

"Can we please go to the library? I heard the one down the street is huge!" Harper begged for the millionth time.

"Harper, I don't want to go to the f*cking library!" I yelled at her.

"Char, we've been walking around this mall for an hour, not buying anything, not even window shopping. I'm bored to death and I want something new to read." she whined.

As much as I didn't want to go to the library, I didn't want to go home either.

"You can go by yourself if you want." I told her. It'd probably be better anyways because I'm dying to tell someone about the picture and Harper being here isn't helping.

"Really?!?" she said a bit too excitedly.

"Yeah, yeah, just text me when you're done and we'll meet each other halfway, alright?"

"Meet me halfway, right at the--" she began singing the Black Eyed Peas song before I stopped her.

"Go before I punch you in the face for being annoying." I snapped.

"Well damn." Harper said and went the opposite direction of me, to the library.

She knows I hate the Black Eyed Peas and yet, she sings their songs anyways. Don't ask why I hate them, I just do.
