Mistake or Fate? (Book 1) *BEING EDITED*

Chapter 8 - Movies, Popcorn, and Strange conversations...

(Darrian’s P.O.V.)

We all just kinda sat there in silence. Not really sure what to say. That couldn’t have been our fault. Could it have? I mean we didn’t do anything. We just offered them a place to stay. 

We decided to get our pj’s on so it would look like we weren’t doing anything wrong. I had my plaid pajama shorts with a white tank top, and some fuzzy socks. Syd was wearing her black adidas shorts with the white stripes down the side, and a black tank top, and for some reason, she insisted on wearing her knee high fuzzy socks with her slippers over them. Don’t ask me why ‘cause I have no clue. Paige was wearing her black nike shorts with a navy blue tank top and a white shirt. We all looked cute if I do say so myself. 

We walked out of her room and into the living room. The boys were all sitting back in the places they were before and we just went and sat down where we were. Everyone was a bit on edge the girls and I looked around at the boys to see the looks on there faces. It was really awkward, so awkward, that you could feel it in the room. 

“Ok, what is going on here? Am I the only one that can feel the awkwardness?” I said, breaking the silence. The girls looked at me with a WTF?! look. I just shrugged as the boys kind of all looked around the room, avoiding the question.

“Eleanor and I broke up.” Louis said. I was shocked that he answered.

“What?!” The girls and I said with our fake shocked expressions. I don’t know how, but the boys bought it. I guess we were good actresses. 

“Yeah. That’s what the phone call was about. I guess she just didn’t trust me or something. Although, I would never do anything to hurt her.” he replied.

“You don’t have to prove yourself to us. We know you wouldn’t do anything to hurt her.” Syd said. She was the sympathetic of the group. The one you could always go to for advise or just a hug. She was always there to makes laugh when you’re sad. I’ve always trusted her, and she’s always trusted me. I guess we’ve all sort of trusted each other. Ever since that one summer in eighth grade, but let’s not go through the depressing back story. Anyway back to the living room

“I know. I just.......wait a minute. Why are you wearing fuzzy socks and slippers? Lou said changing the subject. Here we go with the socks and slippers. Oh Louis why did you have to say something? Now she’s gonna get all defensive.  

“My feet are cold. Is there something wrong with me wearing socks and slippers? Do you have a problem with it?” Syd answered. Good Lord here we go!

“No, I don’t find anything wrong with it I was just asking.” He said, sounding a bit baffled by her sudden out burst. I looked at the rest of the boys. The all had this look on their faces like Wow, I didn’t know she could burst like that...

“Louis, it’s fine. She just is a bit defensive about somethings, and boys, don’t look so baffled. If you do something to piss her off you better run.” I said with huge smile on my face looking at her. 

“Yeah guys, trust me, you do not wanna piss any of us off. It will not end pretty” Paige said. It was the first time she had spoke in a while being to afraid she’d say something wrong. 

“Hey Lou, can I talk to you for moment in private?” Harry said. I figured it was about El, but didn’t want to say anything. 

“Yeah sure.” he answered as they were walking off down the hallway. 

“Can someone pass the popcorn?” I asked looking around for the bowl, but couldn’t find it. 

“Nope! It’s all gone.” Liam said with a smile on his face. 

“You guys are a bunch of pigs!” I said laughing. 

“Don’t look at us! Niall’s the one that ate it!” Zayn said laughing along. I looked over to find Niall holding an empty bowl. 

“I’ll go make some more.” Syd said in an annoyed voice, but still smiling as she took the bowl from Niall and went to the kitchen to make more popcorn. I wonder what’s taking Harry and Louis so long? I wondered. 

(Louis’ P.O.V.)

“Hey Louis, can I talk to you for a second?” Harry asked me. I was kind of confused. 

“Yeah sure.” I said getting up and following Harry down the hallway and into the very pink room that we had just come out of. “So what’s up?” I asked not really sure what was going on.

“I think that I might like Darrian.......” he said really fast. I looked at him and laughed. “What?! What are you laughing about? It’s stupid I know. I’ve only known her for a few hours, but she’s cute and yeah.” He said and he started blushing.

“Harry Styles is blushing? Oh my god call the media!” I said laughing. He pushed me playfully while laughing.

“It’s not funny! What do I do about it?” he said still smiling. 

“Well, you can tell her how you feel, or you can wait, and see how things play out.” I answered. I was a bit shocked that Harry could fall for a girl this quickly, but I guess love has its own ways of working.

“I guess I’ll just wait. I mean if I tell her now, she’ll think I’m crazy. I mean, we did just meet only a few hours ago.” He said with a not so sure look on his face. 

“Yeah....Come on, the others are probably waiting for us to watch the movie.” We walked out of the room only to find that the others were having a popcorn fight. 

“HEY GUYS!” Harry and I yelled at the same time. Everyone stopped and looked at us. “Why didn’t you wait for us?!” Harry said smiling and the popcorn fight continued. When we were out of popcorn, we decided that we should watch the movie. The girls along with every song. The boys and I were singing along to some of the songs too. It was all very fun.

When the movie ended, we were all still wide awake so we were all trying to come up with suggestions. 

“TRUTH OR DARE!” Paige and I yelled at the same time. I just kinda looked at her and smiled. She smiled and blushed. I’m not really sure why though. We all gathered around on the floor of the living room in a circle. 

“Ok, who goes first?” Zayn asked looking around the circle.

“I’ll go!” I said. I knew exactly what I wanted to ask the girls for truth. I decided it would be better to ask all of them so it wouldn’t be to obvious of what I wanted to know. “This one, is for the girls.” I said with an evil smirk. “Truth or Dare?” I said the smirk still plastered on my face.

“Oh god, let us consult.” Sydney said. They turned to each other and started whispering. They finally turned around and looked directly at me.

“Truth” they said at the same time. My smile got even wider. This was going to be good.
