A/N: Hey guys! Warning. I know that Zayn and Liam are not single but I needed them to be for this story. I mean it is fiction so it shouldn't be a problem. Anyways, thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy the chapter. Please don't forget to comment and vote. Thanks for the support. Next update will be Friday, as it should be :) Enjoy!
(Alice's POV)
When the girls came flying in I felt a tug on my hand and I was forced to my feet. I look up to see brown curls and I realize Harry is dragging me. "What about Beth?" I asked, a bit worried.
"Don't worry, Niall's got her." he swiftly answers. I look over my shoulder and see Beth's shocked face as she is also being dragged by her crush, Niall. I giggle to myself and continue to run. Harry guides me to an alley where we will take refuge from the chaotic fans. We run into the shadows. The shadows were pretty dark, I mean I can't even see Harry's beautiful face. Oh jeez -_- I need to act normal, or at least my definition of normal. Harry's hand squeezes mine and he pulls me closer. I can smell his cologne, it's so sweet and I really just want to hug him and inhale it. I swear, whatever he is wearing is addicting.
"You know, you don't seem that phased at all by all of this." he states. When I think about it, he's right. I'm actually really calm about this. At least on the outside.
I actually have no idea why I'm not freaking out right now." I state with a smirk.
"Well you seem like a pretty tough girl" he admits. I laugh, for the millionth time tonight. "You are a very happy girl, love."
"Well, I'm kind of with a very cute guy, might as well make the most of it." Oh no! Why did I just say that? That was so stupid! I mentally face palm. Harry let out a deep chuckle. "I'm sorry!" I quickly say. "You probably get that a lot." I added nervously.
"Don't worry about it." he smirks.
I then begin to blush and I hide my face in my knees since we are currently sitting on the ground and let me tell you, that's not very comfortable in this dress. I don't recommend it ladies. I feel Harry's arm wrap around me and get nervous, "I find you very adorable." I scream inside and get even more nervous. Why did he have to say that? Grr! That made it extremely worse. I look up at him. His face is so close to mine. I can feel his steady breath as he looks into my eyes with a reassuring grin.
"Well, th-thank you" I stutter. he slides his hands up my back and reaches my neck. His hands are warm. he then pulls my head closer to him and our foreheads meet. My heart starts to flutter and I can feel the butterflies flying like mad men in my stomach. He begins to lean in when we both hear giggles coming from behind the dumpster. I look at Harry and he looks back with a nervous smile.
"I think that's Niall" he whispers.
"Oh!" I yell/whisper. Harry looks at me with a confused face. "It's time to get revenge on Beth!" I say to him with an evil grin. He looks at me and has the exact same grin on his face.
"So.... What do you have in mind?" he asks.
"Just follow my lead." I instruct. "Psst..." I begin.
"Do you hear that?" I hear Beth.
"Psst... Hey Beth!" I say a little louder. Jeez! Is this girl deaf!?
"What?" Beth asks in a slightly irritated voice.
"Aren't you guys adorable!?" I whisper/yell. Harry quickly catches on and says "You guys will make a cute couple!" We both giggle and I swear I can faintly make out Beth's red face from here.
"Her face is so red! Mission accomplished." I say cheerily. Harry looks back at me with a grin on his face again. "What?" I ask.
"What?"
"What?"
"Huh?"
"Oh God..." Harry chuckles at me.
I look over at Beth again. She is flipping me off! Oh it's on! I bite my thumb at her. (Biting you thumb is 'F*ck you in Shakespearean, an inside joke we've had since freshman year in high school.)
"Do you bite your thumb at me sir?" I hear her yell. I laugh and reply, "No I do not bite my thumb at you but I do bite my thumb... sir." I look over to Harry who has a huge grin on his face AGAIN! We both burst out laughing and I can hear laughter from Niall and Beth as well.
"Harry!" Niall calls over. "How are we going to get home now? Our cars are out front and the fans are probably swarmed all over them."
Before Harry could answer, the lid of the dumpster bursts open and three figures jumped up! What the hell!? Beth looks over at the three band members that wore smug looks as they looked back at her. "Have you been there this whole time?" She asks.
"Yup, we heard every word." Louis states with a grin.
"And every giggle." Zayn adds smugly.
This night just keeps getting better and better. Ha-ha!! Liam was the first to speak after the brief pause between them.
"But seriously guys, what are we going to do tonight?" I decide to speak up and offer a solution since a brilliant idea just came to mind.
"You know, Beth and I live only 15 minutes away and we are always up for sleepovers. It's a bit small, but our friends next door owe us a favor so we are all set."
"Are you sure? We don't want to impose on you or your friends." Liam asks. That boy is so considerate. It's a wonder he hasn't been snatched up yet. The same applies to Zayn. I'm sure our friends Olivia and Jazmine (our neighbors) will take care of that. They have crushes on Liam and Zayn and Beth knows this but we decide to keep that bit of information to ourselves for tonight.
"Trust me, you're not imposing on me or Beth. As for Olivia and Jazmine, they'll be more than happy to help out." I look over at Beth, making eye contact as smiles appear on both of our faces at the thought of our friends' possible freak outs when they see the boys.
"Perfect! Everything is settled. Now can we get going because I'm tired of being in this smelly dumpster?" Lou asks.
"It's not our fault you decided to hide in a dumpster, mate." Niall says through chuckles as he stands up and helps Beth up. Awe, how cute! Suddenly, I feel myself being pulled up from my sitting position as Harry gently lifts me using his strong arms. He still had his arm around my waist as Louis, Liam, and Zayn manage to jump out of the dumpster.
I took out my phone and called a cab. I had to ask for two since it would be kind of hard to fit seven people in one car. We had to split up with three people in one car and four in the other. My cab consisted of Harry, Liam, and myself. Beth's cab contained Niall, Louis, and Zayn. This made me laugh since Louis and Zayn appeared to enjoy embarrassing her. What a fun night. She will enjoy it nonetheless. She tends to laugh off her embarrassment to ease the awkwardness out of herself.
That's why the girl is so fun to be around. One thing I haven't thought about though, is where Beth and I will sleep. Obviously Liam and Zayn will spend the night with Olivia and Jazmine. Then there are two beds and a couch in our dorm so that's Louis, Niall, and Harry. But what about us? Hmmm.....
