Imperfect Love

Chapter 14

Paige's Pov* 

I came to a sudden stop. Everyone else was following behind me and bumped into the person in front. "Paige what are you doin-" Louis shrieked.

"Shh!!!" I snuck behind the  door and everyone followed behind with confused looks on their faces. I peaked out and Kat was still there, phone in hand. She hadn't noticed any of us yet thank god. 

"Look I'm sorry Mar but I can't do it! I tried to but -" Kat voice was shaky and her face was nervous. She was bitting her nails furiously. "I know I know I'm sorry but I can't get her by herself! They are tight again and I can-"

What is she talking about? Wait- is it ... is it about Rose?

"Yeah so what can i do?" Kat paused to think for a moment. "Yeah I know one. But its going to be-"

"Kat who are you talking to?" I stepped out from behind the door. Kat jumped at the sound of my voice. She was still dressed in the same costume for the movie, her hair was knotty from the wind, and her cheeks were pale cold. "Um Paige? Are you going home already?" 

"Don't avoid the question what are you doing out here?" An expression of fear passed over her face but was too quickly replaced by sadness. "I don't really want to talk about it". I soon found my voice rising. " Is this about Rose and Niall again cause I thought we settled this already?!" I could feel people surrounding us but I couldn't care. 

She blinked at me and the surprised me by breaking into tears. "No why do you always assume that? I don't care anymore I'm happy for them!" Her words were blurred by coughs and sniffs. "My- my parents are having a divorce!"

"What?" I couldn't do anything by stare back in shock. My anger soon disappeared and I was left with an empty stomach of guilt. "I'm sorry. I didn't know. What-what happened?" It came out as a whisper. My hands soond found its way around Kathryn in a tight hug. She cried into my shoullder and I could feel my top becoming damp with tears. 

"My mum is having an affair with someone else." Her voice was crackly. "I was talking to my brother and trying to get mum back with dad but its not working." More arms circled around us until everyone was hugging Kat. "We're sorry."

"We have the perfect way to cheer you up though!" Louis high and chirpy voice broke the grim silence. "What?" Kat sniffed. "Join us tonight! We're going to the new club that is openeing." If the lights were just a little brighter, I swear I could have spotted a smirk on the edge Kat's lips. But it was gone before I could blink. "Thanks guys. You're the best." 

So instead of eyeing Kat, I felt bad for her. It's never easy to lose your parents. I would know.

 "Nothing looks right!" I squealed. My clothes were just not good enough. Or maybe my body was just not good enough. I jumped on top of a mountain of dresses on my bed. "I may as well just wear trackies." 

"Don't be stupid. Wear the pink dress from before it looked cute," Kat said. She and Rose were standing before the bed, looking like absolute barbie dolls. Kat had on a pastle blue dress, her hair was straightened, hazel eyes sparkling and long legs finishing at tall white heals. Rose had her red hair curled and was in a short purple dress. She finished the look with a statement necklace and black wedges. They looked like they were walking the red carpet. 

And then there was me. 

"We're going to a club! You're not meant to look cute!" I shouted in desperation. "OMG stop being a drama queen," Rose said, walking over to one of the suitcases lying on the ground. She searched through it before pulling out a white dress that was the shortest not to mention tightest one I have ever seen. "Wear this and I swear Harry cannot look at you without wanting to jump into your pants." 

I blushed so bad my cheeks were burning hot. Soon enough, I was in the dress, examining my image in the mirror. For some reason, I just couldn't find myself to like it. I could hear gasps from the girls behind me but it just didn't feel right. 

"You look so hot," Rose said, nodding. "It's beautiful. Makes you look innocent but sexy," Kat added. "Innocent?" I asked. Rose gave Kat a deadly glare. "No she's lying trust me you look amazing." Rose went to her own bag and pulled out a pair of shiny black pumps. "And with this; it will be perfect."

I finally agreed. Just in time too, cause the doorbell rang. Kat went out to open the door while I went to the bathroom to have a final check of my makeup and spray some perfume. The amazing smell of rose petals filled the room, ironically, when Rose walked in. "Look I know that you have been busy lately with not only work but all my problems and I'm sorry but this is your night. Harry is going to love you in that dress so you have got to love yourself in it too. Show off your perfect curves and your perfect butt and shut up about all that 'I'm not special' shit." 

"But I-" 

"No shut up with that please? I want you to be happy. I know you really like Harry. I'm with Niall now right? From an ordinary Australian girl to dating a celebrity. There's no reason why the same can't happen for you." Rose said sternly, before hugging me. "Okay thanks Rose. I love you."

"I know you do. Now off you go they are all here."

I grabbed onto my sparkly gold clutch, pulled my dress down a tiny bit only to get another glare from Rose, before walking outside. The boys were all gathered around the living room, obviously bored already from waiting like 2 minutes. Rose ran straight to Niall and gave him a peck on the lips. Kat was sitting between Zayn and Liam looking so lonely there with both the boys texting, Louis again entertained himself with the spiny chair, and then there was Harry. His hair gelled back slighly the way I like it, he was wearing trousers and a full length black shirt with a few top buttons undone. My stomach knotted. "Hey."

"Hi." My voice came out like a squeak. But Harry didn't seem to notice. "You look beautiful."  

"Thanks."

"I seriously feel like this is a re-inact of our first date Rose," Niall goes.

"We're not on a date," I reply.

"Oh don't be so sure. Harry here is so madly crazy abou-" 

"Niall shut up!" Harry's cheeks were flushing that it was actually adorable. "Okay fine, can we go now?" We all nodded and went out the hotel, only to see a long, shiny limo waiting for us. "Omg! Where did you guys get this!" My voice was high pitched - excited- just like I suddenly felt. The nervous feeling was gone.

"I thought you would like it." Harry said. He went over and pulled open the door. "Ladies first."

I grinned. And thank god I just brushed my teeth before too cause it would have been an embarrassment if I had some of that mud cake stuck in there. Which by the way was really good. Wait - I'm talking about mudcake when the hottest boy band in the world are sitting in front of me? 

Just as if Rose read my mind she goes, "Reality before food sweetie."

"Got it." I laughed. 

And as we quickly approached a low building with colourful lights brightening the dark night and the sound of laughter, cheering and craziness filled the air, I hoped tonight would be one I'd never forget.
