Right Now

Chapter 18

Harry had been quiet the whole plane ride. I mean, I don't blame him.

I had been sitting next to Niall, who had just announced that we were dating. And that is what I think made Mr. Styles go mute.

About 5 hours into the plane ride, Niall fell asleep on my shoulder. He was really cute when he slept, he looked like a puppy. Kinda.

I really had to pee so I gently got up, hoping I didn't disturb him, and I rushed to the bathroom. The private jet had a pretty awesome bathroom for a plane. It had a mirror and a shower, along with a toilet.

While checking myself in the mirror, I admired my outfit. I was wearing my favorite John Lennon "Imagine" T shirt and a pair of Chesterfields Softball sweats. It was my usual plane outfit. My hair was in a messy bun at the top of my head.

I was about to leave the bathroom when Harry came in and shut the door.

"Hey." he said in his husky accent. He was wearing an outfit similar to mine. He wore sweat pants, a plain white T Shirt and a gray beanie.

"Hey, Haz...... Uh, whatcha doing?" I asked awkwardly.

"I thought you liked me." he said rather hurt.

"Well, you kissed me and left without letting me even react." I said haughtily.

"You're right about that. But, when did this thing between you and Niall happen?" he questioned glumly.

"Oh c'mon, Harry. You know I've always liked him." I replied truthfully, "I was just waiting to see what Niall thought about me and him."

He nodded in agreement, still glum. I could tell that I didn't persuade him yet.

(Later)

We had about 2 hours left on the plane. Niall had woken up, thankfully oblivious to what had happened with me and Harry in the bathroom. But NOTHING happened. Nothing did happen.

I began pacing through out the plane, which is something I do when I'm bored. I looked over at Liam and Julia.

Liam and Julia were sitting in the plane, laughing and cuddling. I never would of thought that Julia would end up with anyone this summer, I mean this in the nicest way possible. Just 2 weeks ago, Julia was pretend yaking at me and Chase. Chase........ this was still a touchy subject.

Just thinking about what happened that night makes the bruises on my ribs hurt like hell.

I made my way back over to Niall, sitting on my seat and extending my legs over his lap.

"Hey, babe?" I ask Niall, who was rubbing my shins.

"Yeah?" he replied, absentmindedly.

"I'm bored." I whined like a 4 year old.

He sat up, moving my legs out of his lap. "Alright boys," He went to the overhead compartment and grabbed his guitar, "Our lady friend here is bored. Let's entertain her, shall we?" He winked at me making me blush like crazy. The boys gathered around the middle of the plane. Julia and I followed closely.

They were gonna sing.

He was gonna sing.

"For right now, let us entertain you." said Louis, winking.

Pink color rushed back to my cheeks, and also to Julia's.

He started playing a steady guitar beat that I played on my Luna various times.

My hearts a stereo, it beats for you so listen close. Hear my thoughts in every note oh oh. Make me your radio, and turn me up when you feel low. This melody was ment for you . He winked in my direction. So sing along to my stereo.

Then, Zayn started to rap.

He was throwing out so many words, it was hard to understand.

Towards the end of his rap Harry screamed out, "Take it, Belly!"

I hesitated, but Harry stood up and pushed me into there little singing circle.

I opened my mouth to sing, with everyones eyes on me.

I only pray you never leave me behind. Because good music can be so hard to find. I'll take your hand and hold it closer to mine. Thought love was dead, but now your changing your mind.

I belted the last line. Everything had stopped though. All the boys were looking at me weirdly, especially Harry.

Niall finally broke the silence. "Whoa." Seriously, Nialler? That's all you can say?

"Well, who would of thought. Jelly Belly here is a little song bird." Louis said while standing up.

Julia spoke in the smallest voice," She's good, isn't she?"

"Amazing." said Harry. He sounded like he was in a trance. "Could you sing something else?"

I hesitated yet again. I really gotta stop doing that.

Niall started to play, but I stopped him, "I can take it from here, babe." He nodded and handed me his guitar.

I started strumming on his guitar and singing a familiar song.

When I look into your eyes. Its like watching the night sky. Or a beautiful sunrise. Theres so much they hold.

I kept singing looking around the airplane with One Direction and my best friend looking back at me.

Is this even real?
