The More I Try (An One Direction Fan Fiction)

I Wanna Say (Chapter Nine)

"Stop being so mad at yourself Arden. Any fan as obsessed as you would faint."

"It is not that, it is that I never got to really meet him! I saw Liam, but that was it!" He growled, not looking at Thalia as he stared angrily into his papers.

"Why don't you just channel your anger into your poetry. I already said we'd get to see them again-"

"Yah right. Of course they would have time just to come back and talk to me." He hissed, clutching a pencil so tight it snapped in half in his grip.

"I kind of have Liam and Niall's phone numbers-"

"Shut up!" Arden shouted, so loud as to attract a harsh glance from one of the more rude librarians.

It was so stereotypical that Thalia laughed so hard she could barely hear Arden hissing at her to spill it or die. She only calmed down because he looked as if he was going to start to strangle her.

"OK. Well, you fainted and then I was talking to Niall, Liam and Louis afterwards. I don't even know why, but Liam gave me not just his number and Niall's, but a cellphone. He said we could call and meet with all of them while they're still in Toronto."

She would have said more about driving out and possibly spending the day, but very suddenly Arden leaped forward- ordering her to give him the phone.

"No- I'm not being the one to text first!" She called, batting him off. Arden made up some lame excuse about putting him own number in, and seemed really disappointed when she just asked him to recite it.

"Fine, but tell me when someone texts you. By the way, have you spoken to Jill?" He asked, sounding wary near the end of it.

Thalia sighed, putting her face down on the table. "She hasn't returned my calls. Her moms says she busy with some summer school thing." She groaned into the table, jerking upward when Arden started touching her hair.

"What, I cannot comfort my friend?" He asked, rolling his eyes when Thalia retorted that he wasn't the type.

"Whatever, she is still bad news- Oh my god, what does it say?" He suddenly burst as a ding sang out from the cellphone Thalia was still clutching tightly.

"Calm down- Jesus Christ Arden! I can't read it with you doing that!"

Finally he'd pulled away enough for Thalia to read the message.

Liam Payne:

Hello Thalia! Sorry this message isn't about us hanging, but I was wondering if you could send me the photograph of you and Niall. I promise you and your friend who fainted can come in to visit us in Toronto soon! Within the week! x

It was a lengthy text, but Thalia got the gist of it and quickly sent Liam the picture of Niall and her- while she was explaining what he wanted to Arden.

"Tell him we can come in on Wednesday." Arden ordered, trying to calm himself down. "We would go sooner, but I have family things to do on Monday and Tuesday." He explained, before putting his elbows on the table and his chin in his hands, sighing dreamily.

"Well, I'm free on Wednesday too, since you forgot to ask." Thalia mumbled as she texted Liam, proposing Wednesday. He replied almost instantly, telling her it'd be perfect since they leave for England on Friday.

"They're going to spend time at Harry's family home. It said so on Twitter." Arden commented, also adding that afterwards (in August) they were living in a flat (in England) they shared until their next tour, next year.

"Wow, someone knows too much." Thalia mumbled, getting a dirty look from Arden. Then he made a quick suggestion.

"Lets take them to Cananda's Wonderland. On Wednesday, there apparently is some huge beach party the teenagers will be at all day, so no obnoxious fans. It will also make us seem like nice hosts."
