Chapter Fifteen - Last Song
My phone began to vibrate on the pillow next to me. I growled at it and picked up, slowly glancing out the window. I had slept though most of the day. It was already night time, around 11-ish. I could hear Vic's snoring from the other room. I clicked the green button on my phone and slowly brought it up to my ear.
"What?" I croaked, my voice cracking.
"Look out your window," I recognized the raspy voice immediately; my Harry. I threw the covers off and swung my legs over the side of the bed.
"What are you talking about?" I demanded, my voice thick with sleep. There was a little tink noise at my window and I quickly ran over to it, lifting it open and pushing my head out. Harry, Zayn, and Niall stood in front of my window, staring up at me and grinning happily.
"Hey there, beautiful," Harry whispered loudly. I couldn't help but smile. They were all dressed in fancy tuxedos. Harry had a cute little bow and black and white dress shoes on.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, trying not to be too loud.
"Rescuing you, of course!" Niall called. Zayn slapped his arm once, shushing him.
"You think we'd just leave without you?" Zayn demanded, winking cheekily at me.
"Now come on, go get dressed, before Liam starts throwing a fit!" Harry urged, glancing at the car down the street that kept flicking its lights at us. I ran from my window and to my closet, jumping over the loud, creaky spots in the floor beneath me. I felt like I was playing Mine Sweeper, trying to avoid any spot that could wake Vic up. I grabbed the first "fancy" dress I could see, a tight red and black one with an open back, and grabbed a pair of black pumps, covered in silver spikes. As I squeezed into the tight-fitting dress, I heard Zayn groan loudly outside.
"Bloody hell, how long does it take?!" he grumbled loudly. There was a loud shush! Followed by a smack and a brief "ow!" I grinned, hopping over to the window and looking out.
"Someone catch my shoes!" I yelled. All three boys perked up at the sight of me. I gently swung my shoes out the window, hoping they wouldn't get scuffed.
"Careful, they're really--"
"OW!"
"Sharp..." I muttered as Niall rubbed his hand on his pants in pain. I hopped back over to my mirror, grabbing a spray bottle filled with water and spraying my hair, then grabbing the mousse and scrunched my already curly hair into little spirals. I quickly put on a small bit of make up, just some cover-up, eyeliner, and mascara. I clipped my long bangs back with a little black clip and then observed myself in the mirror. Sighing, i grabbed a black clutch, stuffing it with my phone, credit card, cash, and tampons. You never know when Mother Nature decides to be a bitch.
I made my way over to the window and lifted it open all the way. The boys perked up again, grinning.
"You ready, love?" Harry asked.
"Yeah. You better watch out," I said. Harry's brow furrowed in confusion.
"You're sure you don't need any help?" he questioned. I scoffed loudly.
"Harry, this isn't my first time sneaking out. Do you know who you're talking to?" I demanded.
"She's got a point, y'know." Zayn mumbled, looking at Harry and then shrugging. I quickly swung one leg out the window, followed by the other, reaching gently toward the branch that almost touched my window. I swung from it to the base of the tree and then I jumped down, landing softly on the ground, a successful smile on my face. Zayn and Niall laughed at me while Harry stared in awe.
