Faking Love (One Direction)

Chapter 9

I woke up the next morning in my bed with a throbbing headache. I put my hand to my forehead and groaned.

"You okay babes?" I heard a familiar Cheshire boy say

"Why are you in my room Styles?" I asked angrily, then I remember everything about yesterday, dancing, meeting Selena, running out, the fight, and telling Harry I hated him. I Immediatly felt guiltly.

"You fell asleep and I brought you back but you had a nightmare so I stayed..." he said awkwardly

"How do you know I had a nightmare?" I asked sharply

"You were screaming in your sleep" he answered.

"Oh. Thanks.." I said getting up and putting on my glasses. He walked over and sat on my bed.

"Avalon can I ask you something?" he asked nervously.

"Mhmmm" I answered back.

"Do you really hate me?" he asked quickly.

"Well you're a dick at times, but no not really.. I was just caught up in the moment. I'm sorry" I said walking over and hugging him. He hugged me back and then I backed away.

"Why did you say that then?" he asked shyly

"Because at the moment, I truly believed I did. " I answered honestly.

'I'm sorry.." he answered back looking at his feet. I took his chin and lifted it up.

"Don't be" I answered into his green eyes. He smiled and then hugged me again.

'Why have you been acting so weird?" he asked letting go.

"I'm sorry Harry, I can't tell you" I answered back seriously.

"Why not?" he asked.

"It's just one of those things, but don't worry about it" I answered with a reassuring smile. I certainly couldn't tell him I fancied him, he was dating Selena. I couldn't ruin that for him. He nodded to me and then stood up.

"Are you coming down to breakfast?" he asked hold out a hand "I'm starving"

"Of course I am!" I answered clearly hungry.

We walked down the stairs and into the kitchen where everyone was.

"GOODMORNING!" Louis shouted from the couch with his mouth full of food.

"Hello Lou!" I called back and he waved.

"Hello Avalon, did you sleep okay?" Liam asked me handing me my mug of tea.

"Mhm!" I answered back sipping the hot liquid.

"Are you two.. Okay now?" Zayn asked from the island.

"Yea we're friends again" Harry said with a smile and put and arm around me shoulder.

"Louis! Twenty pounds! Now!" Niall ordered.

"Ughhhh" he answered and gave him his money. We gave them a questioning look and then Liam answered

"We had a bet, well Louis and Niall had a bet." Liam answered.

"I'm sorry for doubting your friendship but that was intense shit, we heard it from down here!" Louis said patting our back.

"Yea I'm surprised your eardrums didn't burst from all the screaming!" Niall added making me feel really awkward. I gave him a smile and then grabbed a bowl of cereal.

"Avalon don't you have school today?" Zayn asked once we were all done with breakfast.

"No I took the day off...." I added depressed, I hated missing school. I needed to be there I needed to practice.

"Why?" Niall asked.

"The awards show is tomorrow and I need to get my dress and stuff"I said.

"That's right!" Louis added "I forgot about that!"

"Yea but I'm not going to sit here all day, I'll be in the studio I'm not going to miss a day of dancing I need the practice" I added and ran up the stairs to get changed into my leotard.

"Um? Did you see how you danced lastnight by any chance?" Harry asked and I stopped.

"That was contemporary, I need to work on ballet" I added and sprinted up the stairs.

I got in my room and locked the door. I ran into the bathroom and turned on the shower. While I waited for it to heat up, I went into my closet dedicated to my dance stuff and grabbed my dark pink cut out back leotard and my white tights. I set them out on the bed and ran into the bathroom. I washed my hair with my peach shampoo and washed my body with my nector body wash. I quickly jumped out and wrapped my robe around myself and a towel around my hair. I went over to the bathroom sink and popped in my contacts then, I took my hair out of the towel and threw it up in a tight ponytail. I didn't put on makeup because I would just sweat it off. I ran over into my room and put on my tights and leotard than went into my draw and grabbed a black dance skirt and put it on. I slipped on my UGGS to run across the yard in and grabbed my points shoes. I ran downstairs and all the boys were still sitting there.

"Liam can you grab me a water bottle?" I asked as I descended the stairs and he did so, "thanks! See ya later!" I said as he handed it to me and I ran out the door.

I got into the studio and took a deep breathe and let it out with a smile. I loved the studio, like really loved it. It was the only place where I could get away. I went over to the doc and put my phone on it. I felt like dancing to whatever song I had on my 'Dance' playlist. I slid on my pointe shoes and pressed play. As soon as the song started I began to dance on my toes, spinning, leaping, jumping, everything. I was dancing to my favorite ballet song, River Flows In You. It had no lyrics, like most ballet music, but it was beautiful.

I danced to a couple more songs on pointe, trying to make my feet stronger, than i switched to my flat shoes so I can dance lyrical and contempory, they were my favorite.  I switched to that music and Gravity by Sara Bareilles came on. It was an amazing song to dance to, it really was. I danced to it and it felt good to dance to. While I was doing my Ariel I came down to land and slipped. It didn't hurt at all but I was so mad at myself for slipping. I balled my fists and and sat there with a scowl on my face. I was so upset with myself. I kept telling myself 'You can't slip! Why would you slip! You can't do that! Ughh!' I was so upset with myself.

"Don't beat yourself up because you fell" I heard a familiar voice say.

"I can't slip like that. No professional slips Harry" I answered him and stood up.

"Nobodys perfect" he answered back and I rolled my eyes.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"The boys are annoying me! Can I please stay!" he begged

"Louis Tomlinson? Annoying?" I answered sarcastically. He laughed at me "Yes, you can stay, but don't mess me up! I need to work!" I sternly said.

"It'll be like I'm not even here!" he said with a smile. I doubted that was true.
