Let Me Show You

"So where did you find him?" Beckett asks me once we start walking back towards the lounges. 

"Actually I found him in Nando's, which was very convenient for me."

"Who was he with?" I turn over to look at Harry and I can see the fear in his eyes begging me not to say anything.

"No one really, at least not when I got there." I see Harry relax a little and I know we have formed some type of trust connection. "Besides, who would want to hang out with Harry? He's an ass!"

"Am not!"

"Yes you are Harry!"

"HARRY STYLES!" A high pitched shriek runs through the hallways followed by the sound of heels clicking along the tile floors.

"Valorie" we all say in unison just as she turns the corner and comes to face us.

"Harry you are in SO much trouble you come with me right now!"

"Well it was nice knowing you all!" Harry says as Valorie grabs his arm and drags him away.

"Have fun in hell Styes!" I yell laughing.

"I'll see you there Lively!" He yells and that's the last we saw of him.

Until 5 o'clock for the rest of rehearsal of course.

"It was the best song ever" Zayn sings as the music fades and the rehearsal ends. I snap some pictures of them waving and running off the stage before I exit the arena and head back to their dressing room to give them some notes.

"So I was thinking that you guys should get closer more often. I feel like you are always all over the place which is great but we need more times where we can see you all together besides in WMYB."

"Alright we can do that!"

"Also I feel lighter colored clothing choices will be better for the cameras because your stage set is mostly black except for the lights, obviously, so it's kind of hard to see your figures. That's about it though! It would be nice to set up individual meetings with each of you once I upload the pictures to my computer but we can do that another time."

I don't really want to have individual meetings but me and Harry need to talk and the other boys will get suspicious if I just pull him over.

"Sounds good to me!" Valorie says still keeping her eyes on Harry this whole time. "Alright lets get back to the flat! It's been a long and stressful day!"

"Agreed!" Me and Harry both say at the same time. Everyone stands up and clears out of the room but Louis and Liam trail behind talking about shoes or something.

The car ride back to the flat is slow and painful. No one talks much and the driver won't play the radio. To make it worse the pair of head-phones I brought are broken so I'm forced to just sit there and stare out the window. Plus, I'm scared to pull out my phone and play any games because of how upset it made Harry before.

Just as I'm about to ask how much longer the ride is, Harry speaks up from sitting next to me in silence.

"Want to play a game?" He openly asks the car, but when I turn to look at him I see he is looking back at me.

"Sure" I say searching his eyes for an answer to his weird behavior. 

"Okay, let's play the 'What am I thinking of' game!"
