"Shit." I mumble as I open my eyes. My head spins and I see blotches in my vision. Then I start to feel sick. I elbow Harry in the stomach as hard as I can. He flips over, his arm releasing me, and I run to the bathroom. I barf into the toilet and sit down on the floor, my hand to my head.
"You okay, Lilly?" Harry runs in, rubbing his stomach. He sees the mess and flushes it down the toilet. Just then another wave hits me and I lean over the bowl. He grabs my hair and holds it away from my mouth. I finish hurling and stand up shakily. He grabs my arms and helps me in front of the sink. I stare down at it and close my eyes.
"I'm sorry you had to see that." I tell him.
"I've seen it plenty times before, Lil." He responds. I nod slightly, but it hurts my head so I stop.
"Can you turn out the light?" I ask him, motioning behind me. He does what I ask and I open my eyes. "I hate being a girl." I mumble. He chuckles a bit and wraps his arms around my waist.
"I love that you're a girl." He tells me. I smile a bit. He releases my waist and grabs a scrunchy from the counter. He puts my hair into a messy bun and sits me on the toilet. I place my hand on my head again and he leans in front of me. "Oh." He says shocked at something. "We should fix that." I look down and see dark stains covering my shorts.
"Shit!" I say, closing my legs and covering my eyes. I totally didn't notice that! I am so embarrassed.
"Hey, stop." He says, taking my hands away from my eyes. I look at him and he smiles. "I'll go over to your room and grab you some... necessities." He tells me. I chuckle and nod slightly, but stop myself again. I hear him run out of the room, so I strip down and hop into the shower. I hear him return. "Lilly?" He asks, knocking on the door.
"Come in." I tell him quietly. He opens the door and places some things inside. "Thank you." I say to him. He exits and I get out of the shower. I hop into the new clothes me gave me, and put on a pad. I grab my dirty clothes and start washing them in the sink. I hang them on the side of the shower and pop an advil into my mouth. I walk out of the bathroom and sit next to Harry on the bed. He is watching some little kid show and I smile. I look at the clock. It's 5:58 in the morning.
"Harry! You should go back to bed! You need your sleep!" I say to him. He shakes his head and looks at me.
"It's fine, really. I'm not that tired." He tells me. I can tell he's lying but I don't argue.
"You are the best friend ever." I say to him. He smiles and kisses my forehead. I cuddle into him and soon find my self sleeping.
2 hours later the alarm goes off and I'm startled awake. Harry is next to me, his head on the back board of the bed. I shake him awake. He opens his eyes and rolls over, closing them again. I turn the alarm off.
"Hazza, it's time to get up. We have to get on a plane soon." I tell him. Today we are heading down to Miami, Florida. He shakes his head at me. "Harry, get up." I say. He doesn't move. I take my hands and place them on both of his sides.
"Don't. You. Dare." He says, knowing what is coming.
"Get up then." I tell him. He shakes his head and I squeeze his sides. He jerks around and grabs my hands off his waist.
"I'm up!" He tells me. Yay! New way to wake up Harry Styles. I smile at him. I get up from the bed and walk out to my room. I see Louis in the hallway.
"Hey, Lou. I hope Harry didn't wake you up too much this morning." I tell him. He shakes his hand.
"Nope! Liam got the door. I stayed in bed. How are you feeling?" He asks me. I shrug.
"You know, as good as one can feel with their period." I tell him, he smiles and gives me a quick hug. They are quite effectionate people, I have to say. I walk into my room and stare at Liam. He is pulling on his trousers and has no shirt on. And he has a rockin' body, I must say. I step forward and wrap my arms around him. "Hello." I say to him. He stands up straight and gives me a hug.
"Hey. How are you feeling." I shrug. It is always a known fact when I have my period. It's hard to hide when you live with 5 boys.
"Fine, I guess. How did you sleep?" I say walking over to my suitcase and pulling out a pair of sweats and a t-shirt. I don't care if I took like a bum today.
"Good. Harry woke me up, but I fell asleep pretty fast." He tells me. I twirl my finger and he turns around, pulling his shirt over his head. I take my shirt off and pull new t-shirt over my head. "How did you sleep?" He asks me. I pull my shorts off, and he walks into the bathroom.
"Fine. You know, until I woke up and threw up." I say. I hear him chuckle a bit at this. We all take this stuff lightly because it happens so often. I pull on my sweats and slip my feet into my flip-flops. I walk into the bathroom to find Liam brushing his teeth. I grab my toothbrush and start brushing myself. Liam finishes first and rinses his mouth out. He stands up and looks at me in the mirror.
"What would you do if I kissed you?" He asked me after a moment. Whoa. Where did that come from? I stare at him. I love Liam but I do NOT want to kiss him. He starts to smile. "I'm joking, Lilly." He laughs. I let out a sigh of release and rinse.
"Good! I thought you were serious!" I tell him with a smile.
"No, you are like my little sister!" He tells me giving me a quick hug. "Plus, someone else has their eye on you." He says. Then he realizes what he said. His eyes go wide. Mine do as well.
"Who?" I ask. Really? Could it be...?
"I can't believe I said that. I can't believe it. I am so stupid!" He scolds himself as he walks out of the bathroom.
"Liam! Tell me!" I yell at him.
"No." He says simply.
"Yes!" I reply.
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes! Please Liam!" I beg.
"No!" He replies. I look at the counter. Yes.
"Tell me!" I say grabbing the spoon and walking towards him.
"Lilly, put it down!" He says looking at me like I am psycho.
"Not until you tell me!" I say walking closer. He hits the wall.
"Lilly, please. Don't do this to me. It's bro code! I can't say!" He tells me. Just then there is a knock on the door. "I'll get it!" He says jumping over the bed. I sigh. Damn it!
"Hey I heard you screaming." I hear Zayn say from the doorway. I blush. Whoops. I walk into the entry way and see Liam hugging Zayn. I wave the spoon in the air and Zayn mouths 'Oh.' I smile, put the spoon down, and walk up to them.
"Sorry, Liam." I say giving him a hug.
"Please don't do that again." Liam begs. I nod.
"So! You ready, lads?" Niall says walking out of his room. We all nod and I grab my bag from my room. Louis and Harry meet us in the hall.
Off to Flodida!
