If You Would [h.s.] HOLD

Five

Buckle up cause it's a long one

The boys have been eating and talking for about an hour now. I can't tell if I want them to leave or not but I keep catching myself staring at Harry. Wanting to know what's going through his head. He hasn't looked at me since I was at the table to bring them their food.

Several girls, mostly teenagers, have packed this entire restaurant. Obviously they're here for the boys but I'm just glad it's making me busy so I don't have to think about it.

I decide to start making rounds, filling up drinks and taking dirty plates off of tables. As I'm carrying a giant pile of plates to the back room one of my best friends, Mak, and her boyfriend, Hunter, walk in. She smiles and waves at me as she tries to find a seat. I can't wave because my hands are full but I give her a look to let her know I'll be there in a second.

I walk into the back room and set all the dishes in the sink for the buss boy and hurry back into the dining area. They've already seated themselves in the middle of all the madness. I approach their table in a hurry. Ready to gossip to my best friend about everything that's happened.

"Evie!!! Oh my fucking god that's One Direction!" She nearly shouts, making several people turn her way and give her dirty looks. But she doesn't care.

"I know! They're my table. It's kinda crazy since I just went to their show last night..." I pause, remembering that I didn't tell h-

"YOU DIDN'T TELL ME THAT!? WHO WITH?? I swear to god if it was Chelsea."

"It was Chelsea."

"You bitch! We don't even like Chelsea!" She spits out, but with a smile on her face so I know she's not actually angry.

"Jeezus Mak! Everyone in the whole town can hear you!" I whisper yell. She covers her mouth and goes a bit red.

"Oops. Sorry.. I just get excited sometimes."

I giggle and nod.

"I know. The show was pretty great..." I decide to leave out the part where I met them. I know she'd be a little upset and super jealous if she knew.

"I bet it was. I wish I could've gone but I was with this goofball instead." She reaches across the table and gently punches Hunter in the arm. He smiles a bit.

"At least you enjoyed it." He responds.

"And how do you know that?" She fires back, raising her eyebrows. I roll my eyes at their playful banter.

"Well from all the moans-" Mak gasps and snaps her hand over his mouth and I can hear his muffled chuckles.

"You guys are ridiculous. What can I get you to drink?" I laugh lightly myself.

"Cokes."

"Alrighty." I write down their drink orders and go in the back and start getting their drinks. I hear foot steps approaching me and turn to see Chelsea facing me with a straight face. Normally she's smiling awkwardly and talking my ear off.

"You okay?" I ask, not facing her. I hear her shuffle her feet a little.

"You don't like me?" She says it quietly with emotion in her voice. My heart drops a little and I instantly feel guilty. Even though I didn't say it, Mak did. Chelsea still heard it and it obviously hurt her feelings.

"I'm sorry she said that. She gets a little carried away sometimes. We just don't really hang out very much ya know?" I face her this time with both drinks in my hands. I can see tears welling in her eyes. Apart of me feels bad but the other part literally doesn't care. I know that's horrible but that's just how I feel.
