Never Say No (One Direction)

Chapter 2

The sound of “Up All Night” blasting through the speakers was the only thing keeping me awake. I’m absolutely knackered! All I want to do is go home and sleep but yet again we’re at rehearsals, I’m currently lying on my back eyes tight shut due to a pounding headache.

“Hey, you alright mate?” Zayns voice broke through my mental barrier against the music and I opened my eyes to see he had sat next to me, looking down at me concerned.

“Yeah, just got a bit off a headache, nothing serious.” At these words he reached behind him for a bag and produced some paracetomal, handing them to me I thanked him before swallowing them.

“Okay, that’s enough for today you may go home.” Our chorographer yelled before prancing out the room.

“Bout time” I heard Zayn mutter as we both stood, I pulled a pair of skinny jeans out of a duffel bag and stripped my trackies off leaving me in a T-Shirt, boxers and socks; I don’t really mind changing in front of them all, nothing they haven’t already seen.

“Oh Haz, loving the STRIPY pants.” Louis squealed like a girl giving me a wink in my direction, I chuckled at him; he really is a strange child. 

“I have an idea! Harry, give me your hands,” I looked up at Liam perplexed as he stepped in front of me, “Just give me your hands Styles, you won’t regret it.” Still unsure I looked down at his outstretched hands, however curiosity got the better of me and I placed mine in his. “Alright now crouch down.”

“Liam what the fuc-“

“Just do it Haz.” Liam cut me off. I crouched down and then suddenly Liam started pulling me around the room. I was sliding smoothly across the laminated floor and I couldn’t help but laugh at the obscurity of it all.

“I gotta get this on video.” I heard Niall say as they all laughed at us from the side, whipping out his phone him filmed us as Liam dragged me by them. My stomach started aching with laughter but before I could complain Liam had let go of my hands and I had fell back smacking my head on the floor.

“Argh!” I moaned as I stood up rubbing the back of my skull, even though it hurt I couldn’t help but smile at our previous childish encounter.

“Hurry up and get dressed Harry then I’ll drive us back to the apartment!” Louis ran out of the room grabbing his gym bag as he went. I realised it was just me left and so after pulling on my jeans I made my way over to the stereo switching it off, making the room turn peacefully silent.

I was currently in the kitchen making Mac ‘n’ Cheese; quick and easy meal for Lou and me as it was getting late and I was shattered. I was also kind of worried about the meeting with Caroline even though I refused to admit it. I served the pasta on the plates and took it into the front room where me and Lou ate it and then spent the rest of the night watching idle TV.

“I’m going to bed Lou.” I announced as the next episode on family guy came onto the screen.

“Hey Harry you alright?”

“Yeah, just a lot going on at the moment... I’ll be fine, don’t worry. Night.”

“Alright if you’re sure, night Haz. I’ll wake you up tomorrow.”

“Thanks” I mumbled as I left the room and got ready for bed.  Louis’ gaze followed me in concern.
