Under the Water (One Direction/ Mermaid) ON HOLD

Ch. 10 Cafe Save

*Zoe's POV*

I was sitting on the couch watching TV and my phone buzzed in my pocket.

*Hey, want to meet Carter and I at the cafe Poppy works at?

-Dylan*

I still had about two hours until going to Alfie, Joe and Marcus' place for movie night, so I answered with a yes. She texted me the place and I was on my way there.

"Hey guys!" I said, walking in and sitting on one of the stools at the counter.

"Hey!" Poppy said.

"So what's going on here? Why are there so any people?" I asked.

"Oh, they're having a open mic night. They have one every Thursday." Carter told me. I nodded.

"Okay, so it's time for our next group. A regular here at Hatchi Cafe, here's Triple Threat!" The girl on the small stage said, and Poppy, Dylan and Carter all got up.

"Hey, I'm Carter, and this is Poppy and Dylan. We're Triple Threat, and were gonna be singing two songs for you guys. Hope you like." Carter said.

"So this is an original song, it's called Skater Boi." Poppy said. (Skater Boi by Avril Lavigne)

They played the song and one other called Complicated. Everyone applauded and they came to sit back by me.

"You guys did great!" I told them.

"Thank you!" Carter said.

"Zoe, one day you should get up there and sing something." Dylan said.

"Yes! I bet you'd be great!" Poppy said.

"Ehh... I don't know guys. Maybe one day." I said.

We talked for about an hour until I realised that I should leave.

"Hey, I should get going. I've gotta meet Alfie and the guys soon." I told them getting up. I bumped into someone and they spilled their drink on me. My eyes widened and I looked to the girls.

"Hey, watch where you're going!" The guy yelled.

"Move Seth!" Carter yelled grabbing my hand. She pulled me to the back of the cafe into the huge freezer, then I fell because of my tail.

"Awh.." I groaned.

"Zoe, are you okay?" Poppy asked. She and Dylan had run in after Carter.

"Yeah.... I'll be fine." I said.

"Here, let me dry your tail." Carter said, then sighed. "I'm so sorry. That was my ex boyfriend. He's a jerk." My tail dried and I stood up.

"It's fine Carter. But I really should get going." I said. "Thanks for helping." I walked out to the front of the cafe and Seth walked up to me.

"You really need to watch it! You made me spill that smoothie all over my new shirt!" He said. I ignored him and walked out of the cafe and went back to the house. I needed to change and get to the 'YouTube Bro' house as they call it. Idiots.

"Hey Zoe! How was the cafe?" Louis said standing in the hallway.

"Um... Fine.?" I said, but it came out as a question. I walked around him and started running to my room.

"Zoe! What happened?" He said following me. I closed my door and ran to my bathroom locking the door. I was looking in the mirror and fixing my make up when the door opened. The door to Louis' room. I LOCKED THAT!

"Okay, baby sister. Tell me what actually happened at that cafe." He said.

"So, they were having a karaoke night and Carter, Poppy, and Dylan performed. They did great and then they said that I should perform sometime and I said maybe. Then we talked for about an hour about random things. Then I told them I needed to go to meet up with Alfie and the guys and then....." I said.

"Then what?" He asked.

"Well.... IgotupandbumpedintoCarter'sexboyfriendandhespilledhissmoothieonmeand-"

"Zoe! Get to a point. please."

"I.. Grew.... A tail... In the... Back freezer..?" I said.

"Zoe! What happened?! Did anyone see-"

"Of course no one saw, Louis! And I'm fine, by the way!" I shouted.

"I'm sorry, Zo. So, now you're going where..?" He asked.

"Alfie Joe and Marcus' house for a movie night. I'll probably be spending the night there, so don't worry about me not being home." I told him, walking into my room to change.

"Wait, spending the night?" Louis asked.

"Lou, they have all slept at my flat in England. It'll be fine." I said, opening my door and shoving him out so I could change.

I changed I walked downstairs, then sat in the living room. I realised I had no ride to their place. I pulled my phone out and texted Joe.

'To: Joe

Hey, I have no ride could you come get me?'

'From: Joe

Yeah, sure! Be there in ten.'

I waited for about 10 minutes and then I heard a hoot from outside.

"I'm leaving!!" I yelled through the house, then walked outside and got in the passenger side of Joe's car.

"Hey, Zo." He said, pulling out of the drive way.

"How are you doing today Joseph?" I asked.

"Good, good. Might I say you're looking like a babe today." He said.

"Joe, I'm wearing sweatpants and a T-shirt." I laughed.

"Yeah, but you always look like a babe." He said.

"This is why you're one of my best friends." I said. We didn't talk much after that, just sang along with the music that was on.

We soon arrived at the apartment the three shared for their time in LA. Walking in, I saw two people on the couch.

"Marky-Butt-Butt!" I shouted, jumping on top of Marcus and Alfie. I sat up in between them.

"ZozeeBo!" He yelled, hugging me.

"What about me?" Alfie pouted.

"Hello Alfonso!" I said giving him a kiss. "So, what movies are we watching tonight, boys?" I asked.

"Um, Spider-Man 1&2, The Avengers, and Divergent." Joe said.

"Great!" I said. Then the doorbell rang.

"That would be the pizzas." Marcus said and walked to get them.

"I'll put the movie in, Spider-Man first?" Joe asked, to which we both nodded.

I cuddled into Alfie and we ate some pizza, watching the movies 'til we fell asleep.
