Running Away (a Louis Tomlinson fanfic)

Chapter 9

Alice's Point Of View

"There she is,"  Harry yelled across our form room when he saw me Monday morning, his famous grin had returned to his face, "the girl that saved my life."  He picked me up and spun me around.  The whole class was laughing to themselves at the spectacle Harry had made.  By now they probably heard about what happened, or some variation of it.

"It was nothing, Harry,"  I laughed as he put me down.

"Seriously though, thanks babe,"  He said as everyone started to settle down, "I owe you."

"No you don't, it's really not even a big deal."  He just smiled and winked at me.

"But guys I don't think I'm ever drinking again,"  Harry said making all of us laugh.

"Yeah well I don't think any of us need to take care of your ass again,"  Liam laughed.

"All of us?  It was all this one,"  Zayn said coming up behind me and ruffling my hair.

"Hey guys what's up?"  Lily asked coming over and standing next to Niall.  We all just looked at each other trying to hide the ridiculous smirk we all had on our faces.  "What?!"  She asked, clearly confused.

"Thanks for telling me about your DATE Mrs. Horan!"  I finally blurted out making everyone laugh.

"What do you mean?  Are you talking about Friday?  It was nothing really."  She tried to cover it, sounding flustered.  Her pale, freckled, cheeks were turning red out of embarrassment.  Clearly she didn't know Niall had told us, which made everyone, including Niall, laugh even more.

"Oh, okay, yeah you're right I guess it's not a big deal, THAT YOU'RE NIALL'S GIRLFRIEND!"  I shouted the last part and tackled her in a hug while we all laughed.  I was so happy for her, even though I was still upset that I couldn't have what she had, I couldn't help but be happy for her.  I saw the way she looked at Niall and the way he looked at her and you could tell there was something there.  Something special.

"You told them?!"  She giggled hitting Niall's chest.

"I'm sorry baby, I was just so happy,"  He said.  Then they put their foreheads together and start planting little kisses on each other's lips and giggling.  It was clear they were trying to annoy us.

"Ewww!"  Harry, Louis and I shouted at the same time.

"Get a room!"  Zayn yelled.

"Seriously guys, we're in school!"  Liam grimaced making us all laugh again.  After that the bell rang, forcing Niall and Lily to finally separate.  I went with boys to music, which we had first that day, and we sat in our familiar formation on the carpet in the middle of the floor.  Everyone was already busy doing there own thing and preparing for the upcoming talent showcase that I was still a nervous wreck about.

"So what are you guys doing for this talent thing?"  I asked, trying to get ideas.

"Well we're gonna perform together,"  Niall said while the others nodded.

"And we're gonna do an original song."  Harry finished for him

"You guys write?"  I was astonished.  I had never heard them sing or play an instrument so I didn't really know if they were actually talented or not.  Of corse this was advanced music and you needed to be pretty serious to take this class.

"Yeah, only a few songs though,"  Zayn said.

"Do you?"  Louis asked.

"Yeah, actually a lot."  I answered.  I had about three notebooks full of lyrics at home with little notes or chords written over the words.  Writing was the only thing that got me through everything.
