A Hybrid And One Direction (ON HOLD/SLOW UPDATES)

Chapter Five

Chapter five

"Yes, well here's the thing... he was... lying." I nod, half to myself. I take another bite of my McMuffin and look at the boys again.

"Elise..." Louis trails off, not believing my explanation. I look up at him to see his arms crossed over his chest.

"What?" I say through a mouthful of mcmuffin.

"Tell us the truth." Harry says.

"That is the truth! I swear!" I protest, gulping down the mouthful.

"We trust Zayn when he says that there's something about you we should know, now tell us." Niall says sternly.

"He didn't say that you should know about it, he just said he knows something about me and he wasn't gonna be the one to tell you guys." I say, crossing my arms over my chest.

"Well, we want to know what that thing is." Liam says.

I sigh, pretending that they got me and now I was gonna tell them the truth. I brought fake tears to my eyes and looked at the boys again. "I didn't want to tell you guys that I'm a fan. I thought you'd think I'm just another crazy fangirl-" I fake a sniffle, wiping a fake tear from my cheek. Thankfully, the boys seem to believe me.

"We'd never think that, we love our fans." Louis says softly, sitting down beside me on the bed. I fake sniff again.

"Really?" I ask, looking deep into his eyes. He's so cute. But I can't like him. He's famous.

"Of course. We should go now, leave you to eat in peace." He pats my leg and gets up, following the boys out of my room.

"Did she tell you?" I hear Zayn ask.

"Yeah, she did." Harry answers. I stand in the doorway of my room and take another bite from my McMuffin.

"Why didn't you just tell us she's a fan?" Niall asks. Zayn turns and looks at me through narrowed eyes.

"Yeah, I don't know, I should've told you the truth myself." He says. But he doesn't tell them I lied to them. I go over to sit by him on the couch again, food in hand. Liam turns on the tv and some tv show that I don't watch (cuz I'm poor :P) comes on.

"Allons-y!" A funny looking guy shouts from the television. I start to daydream about cats when Zayn leans in close to my ear.

"All right, I'll play your little game for a while. But this isn't over." He whispers. I give him a look. He gives me a look. I turn away and back to the tv.

"Elise, are you ready to go?" Zayn asks, coming into my room. I zip up my suitcase (I forgot to have her get a suitcase at the mall, please pretend she did) full of cat toys and clothes and surprisingly the cat carrier fits in it, too. Parsley is still on the bed though. I pick her up and hold her in my arms.

"Where are we going?" She meows at me. I pretend not to understand her.

"Yeah, I'm ready. But can you do me a favor and help me hide Parsley? That's her name." I say.

"Elise, I'm not going to help you lie to my best mates." He says sternly.

"Please! Just until I'm ready to tell them." I plead.

"Elise-"

"Please!"

"Elise-"

"Please!"

"Elise-"

"Please!"

"Elise-"

"Please!"

"Elise, no."

I huff. "Fine. I'll hide her by myself. But don't forget, I can pull you into this too if I'm found out."

"How?" He asks.

"Yes, how?" Parsley asks. I ignore her.

"I can tell them how you kept this information from them."

"Do you want me to tell them right now?"

"You still didn't tell them when I told them I was a fan."

"I meant it when I said I should've told them the truth myself."

"But you didn't."

"I could've."

"Why didn't you?"

"I was feeling generous."

"To me? A girl whom you've just met, over the friends you've known for four years?"

"Sure, why not?"

"But why?"

"Why not?"

I give an exasperated sigh. "This is going nowhere. Fine. I'll hide her myself. But I don't like it!"

Zayn shakes his head and leaves to get his own stuff.

"Now Pars," I whisper to my cat, "You need to be extra quiet, because if anyone else knows I have you, we'd be in major trouble."

"Ok mommy." She yawns as I put her in my inside coat pocket. I then proceed to take my suitcase out to where the boys are waiting.

"Ready to go?" Paul the security guard asks. I nod. "Then let's go."
