That Red Dress... [One Direction ~ Liam Payne Fanfic]

You're kidding, right? ~5~

"You're kidding, right? Please tell me you are kidding." I whispered to Nymeria through our link.

"I'm afraid not, child." she told me. I sighed, this isn't good. I don't see why she didn't tell me this before.

"Thanks" I sarcastically retort, 'and you couldn't have told me before? Aren't you just so nice.' 

I stood and watched over the food awkwardly. Liam tapped my on the shoulder, wanting to introduce me to Danielle.

"Dani, this is Rayne, Rayne this is Danielle."

"Hi" I said awkwardly and barely audible, "nice to meet you."

"Hi, well, I'm Danielle. You can call me Dani, and I'm a dancer." Danielle said awfully bright and smiling widely. I gave her a bright fake smile, hoping that no-one would think otherwise. I turned around to tend to the food that was cooking, only to be tapped on the shoulder again.

"Rayne, do you have a moment?" Louis asked.

"Yeah." I said before putting the bacon onto the tray in the oven. Wiping my hands on my jeans, I turned around again.

"Hey, I'm Eleanor" Eleanor said happily, "so you must be the infamous Rayne that Lou can't seem to stop texting about. You're even prettier in real life." 

"Thanks, you too. Louis couldn't wait till you guys arrived, he was practically jumping around shouting, "I CAN'T WAIT TIL ELEANOR GETS HERE" and looking like a lunatic." a real smile now upon my face.

"That's my guy. Crazy, silly, messy, the three words to describe him." she said laughing.

"Hey!" Lou said pouting. Eleanor gave him a kiss on the cheek and his features brightened extravagantly, "never mind." 

Suddenly I got a text, it was my friend Averill, aka Averi.

"If you guys will excuse me, I'll be back in a sec." I excused myself. Walking out of the kitchen, through the corridor and into the spare room I slept in. I opened the text on my Iphone, it read,

'Heey! its just mai, well how do i put this? 

im stuck sumwhere, plz come & get mai. tha address is 23 Wilders Street. btw, if ur wonderin this isnt a random trap, im not joking tho. 

Averi x0x'

Reading the text over and over again, I finally put my phone down. First of all, Hayley has gone somewhere and I have no idea where. Then, there's the secret that I told Haz and Lou. Next, Averi wants me to pick her up from some place I've never heard of or been to. The text seemed too suspicious, especially since Averi doesn't do much. There's just no point. I'll have to figure out a plan and come up with a reason to why I have to leave. As willing as I am to stay here, I need to find out what that was about. If one of the boys has a computer? Realisation hit me hard, it felt like a dodge ball to the face. I could hack into the Averi's phone and see who or what sent it. Yeah, I'm a hacker, something I also didn't say in the description. I walked out of the room, as soon as I walked into the kitchen the smell of delicious food came to me. I'm hungry.

"Um, guys, do you have a computer here?" I asked after the food was all gone, mainly Niall and I ate it.

"Yeah" Liam stated, pointing towards the coffee table, "over there."

"Thanks." I appricatingly said. I walked over, it needed a password to unlock the account. I typed in a hackers password and got in.

"How did you find out the password?" Niall asked.

"I have my ways." I almost memtioned that I was a professional hacker but decided against it. I plgged my phone USB into the USB port and started typing away. The text message came up and I clicked on it, it was encripted. I found away around it, I won't go into much detail about it. About ten minutes later, I found that the message was a fluke and Averi was at her/mine -our- house. She was watching tv happily with her friend.

"Who is that?" Zayn asked, obviously talking to me.

"Averi, my bestfriend, she is with her friend right now as you could probably tell." I sighed, letting out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

"Okay." 

I closed the window on the laptop screen down, taking any important information with it. I clicked on the "Eject devices" button and ejected my phone from the USB port and closed the laptop.

"Thanks, well I should be heading off now" I looked at Harry and Louis giving them both secret looks, "see you guys whenever." 

I walked towards the door, both Louis and Harry following behind. They stayed quiet as we took my time down the hallway of the 16th floor. But not before they shouted out to Liam,

"We are just going to show Rayne out, we will be back soon."

"Okay, just don't take too long this time." Liam replied. So, right now, Lou, Haz and I were walking down the hallway of the 16th floor.

"You guys promise ro not tell anyone ever?" I asked in the elavator.

"Yes" they said in unison, "cross our hearts and hope to die."

"Okay, you don't need to die. Just say it and the person will try looking for me and the person shall fail. No-one needs to die to protect me, nor shall they be harmed" I spoke, my speech, words of which I failed to provide to two of my now deceased friends. The elavator stopped,

"And this is where we say goodbye. I hope all the odds are ever in your favour and may the gods watch over you."  

I turned to leave, but not before getting a hug from both of them,

"May the odds be ever in your favour and may the gods watch over you, too." they said still in complete unison. I walked away hoping never to return, knowing me it won't work out for me.

~2 to 3 weeks later~

I was now shopping with Louis and Eleanor for clothes. Eleanor would dress in some beautiful clothes and see what Louis would think. I on the other hand just laughed and searched for something to buy.

"What are you going to buy, Ray?" Eleanor asked.

"I don't think I know yet, El. Lou, what should I look for?"

"I think you should find a nice cardigan and trousers, preferrably skinny jeans or chinos." Lou said. Always knows what I should get, smart lad he is. I nodded, agreeing with him. Eleanor gave me a sideways glance, I raised an eyebrow.

"What, is there something on my face?" I asked fretting over nothing.

"No, it's just that you listen to what Lou recommends, as does he you." she stated, giving us both a weird look.

"It's 'cause we are sisters. Jeez, keep up with it, El." Louis laughed, joking around. Eleanor's features lightened as she laughed also. Hmm, fun times with friends. I found the cutest ever cardigan ever, in those next few minutes. We were grabbing some food when we each got a text from the rest of the boys. One read,

Where r u? 

-Nialler x

Another read,  

haha, heey! where u guys at? 

- Zaynster xo

and the one from Harry said,

Hello, my personal slave, jk. where r u guys, cant c ya? 

-Hazza (sexybeast)

Harry wrote his name in and made me promise to keep ot as that and it has its own ringtone. Last but not least Liam's said,

Heey, love. we r @ tha mall as well. gnna meet up with u guys soon. where r ya? 

-sir Le yum xx

I rolled my eyes at all the texts and replied to them all.

"Did you guys get texts from them too?" I asked, a smile breaking lose.

"Yeah. Is our food ready?" Lou asked after answering mine. Nodding, we got up and grabbed our stuff then sat back down at our seats. The boys finally arriving after we had finished our food.
