The Boy Next Door

Connor

Harrys POV:

I watched, wide eyed, as Jess and Bella's boyfriend kissed. Bella smiled and joined in with the cat calls. Why was she ok with this?

I guess they weren't dating... But wait. What was that she wanted to tell us?

"What were you going to say?" I asked suddenly.

Jess' smile became more strained, and Niall pulled her close.

Jess nodded to herself. "I'm bipolar." She said quietly. I had no clue what to feel. I could rule out scared, cuz she had taken her medication and probably wouldn't attack me.

"Let's be honest." Louis said in a joking voice. "We all thought she was pregnant." Bella fell over laughing, and Jess just collapsed in a fit of giggles.

Bella pointed to Jess' slim stomach. "Does she look pregnant?!"  Bella asked in a goofy voice.

"To be honest, I thought it was her time." Liam said.

"Um, what? I'm not dead!" Jess retorted.

Liam turned bright red so Niall helped him out:"Your period." We all laughed again except Liam, who buried his face in Niall's arm.

"Aww! Niam," Bella cooed, and Niall's face flushed too.

~~~

"Jess, come on. You promised." Bella said suddenly. 

"BUT!" 

"Yes. Now come on."

"NO!"

"Move your fat ass, biotch. You flipping promised!"

Bella and Jess were arguing, both facing each other with their arms crossed. I was watching, and so were the rest of lads, wide eyed.

"He'll understand, boo! Babe, he loves you!" Jess said, and all of a sudden I felt kind of sick.

"And I love him too." My eye twitched. "But you fudging promised, so fudging MOVE YOUR BUTT!" With that, Bella grabbed Jess' arm and pulled her to the garage. 

Liam was the first to speak. "I want to go. You lads stay here, and I'll go."

~~~

Liam came back stunned, and wide eyed. Niall rushed over to him. "Whats wrong, mate?"

"They're amazing. They're unbelievable."

Um, what? I think everyone was just as confused as me. 

"They sing. They're the most amazing, most wonderful, most phenomenal, brillantest, perfectest singers I've ever heard!" Liam burst out dazedly. He grabbed his phone and showed us a video. It was about ten minutes long.

"Hey, boo!" A guy said, picking Bella up and spinning her around. I thought Jess was only allowed to call her boo. 

Bella squealed. "Connor!" And kissed his cheek. I glared at Liam.

"I'll just fast forward," He stuttered. How did girls change so fast? Bella looked absolutely stunning. Black jeans, combat boots, pink crop top with a skull on it, and a leather jacket. She honestly looked like a rocker chick. Her hair was down, but curled in big, flouncy curls. 

Liam hit play, and I watched in fascination and Bella and Connor picked up guitars. Bella's was black, and it had LOVE etched on it in hot pink. Connor's was black with a red flame.

Jess, meanwhile, sat down at the drums. They were black, and LOVE was etched on the bass drum. Jess tapped the sticks together, counting down from three.

Bella and Connor bumped hips, laughing. Bella adjusted her microphone before singing into it. Jess sang as well, and Liam was right. They sounded perfect together!

Then Connor came in. Jess was full on banging on the drums, Connor was flipping his hair every thirty seconds, and Bella was slamming on her guitar.

I actually looked down in shame. They sounded better than us, One Direction! And Connor? He was better looking than all of us put together, and had a better voice than any one of us. No wonder Bella loved him. He was ripped too, buffer than all of us. Even Liam and Louis! 

The song ended, and we all sat in stunned silence. Liam was understating it, they were just- just- they were so good it was- they- they. Words couldn't even describe how good they were. 

"Jess, that wasn't so bad, was it? I mean, we've been better, but was it terrible?" I find it hard to believe they were any better, but there was no way they thought it was bad! Their voices neared, along with a different voice. 

"Can you lovely girls spare a minute? I mean, lovely boo. Jess, you're ugly as hell." Niall stiffened at that.

"Oh please, I'm sexier than you and boo combined." Jess said.

"Damn right," Niall muttered.

"But sure, wanna come in for a drink?" Bella asked.

"Boo, I seriously love you." 

"And I seriously love you too." 

"And I seriously hate Jess," Connor added.

"Concon hates me!" Jess cried.

Conner laughed. They came around the corner,still laughing. 

"Hi guys, this is Connor." Bella said. 

I stiffened, as did Niall.

Liam, trying to be nice, responded. "Hi Connor. I'm Liam, and this is Zayn, Niall, Harry, and Louis."

"Oh! You guys are One Direction! Nice to meet you lot." Connor said with a friendly smile. 

"So, mooching off guys now, huh?" He asked Bella.

"You know it," Jess said with a wink.

What. The. Hell.
