USE SOMEBODY. <3 (ON HOLD)

CHAPPIE 8. (Mobs & nurse Natalie)

*Liam's POV*

I looked over to Niall & laughed a little to myself, he was a nervous wreck. Niall smiled anxiously & wiped his palms on his dark jeans. He shook the girls hand again, smiled, & walked away. He came up to me & smiled, barely containing his excitement. The girl left the store & suddenly he began jumping. He hugged me smiling, "I GOT HER NUMBER!" I ruffled his hair & laughed, "Good job lad, lets go now." I smiled. That's when Louis came encroaching on Niall, "Got who's number?!"

*Louis' POV*

I was walking past Jack Wills when I heard a familiar Irish accent yell, "I GOT HER NUMBER!" It was Niall. I made a sudden turn into Jack Wills bumping into Zayn & Natalie. They hadn't let go of each others hands for the past hour. Perfect. Zayn was holding up his end of the deal. When we get home I need to get his opinion on Natalie. I jumped out of my thoughts & I realized I was two inches from Niall's face. "Got who's number?!" I asked quickly. "Her name is Tiffany." Niall sighed thoughtfully. "Is she fit?" I heard Harry from behind me, where did he come from? "Beautiful." Niall smiled, "Red hair, blue eyes, she's perfect." All of rolled our eyes, we all new this would be the new Demi Lovato. He was obsessed with her, but apparently this Tiffany girl was better. "OK losers, let's go." I said sassily & left the store. We had to pass the screaming girls again. Just great.

*Harry's POV*

I walked behind everyone again, except for Niall, he was next to me. As we made our way back to the car, I glared at Zayn & Natalie, even though they couldn't see me. I took in a deep breath bracing myself for screaming fans. I felt a touch on my hand, it was Niall. His blue eyes were full of nervousness, I realized it was big crowds like this that scared the crap out of Niall, with his claustrophobia & all. I hesitantly grasped his hand & nodded at him. "On the three." I whispered. "One..." He started. "Two..." "Three!" I tugged Niall's hand & we flew through the crowd of girls. I felt a tug on my arm, "HARRY!" I looked in the girls direction. A blond bimbo, great. She wouldn't release my arm, causing Niall to jerk back with me. "Let go!" I growled, but she wouldn't. "LOUIS!" Niall called, "HELP!" My heart was banging out of my chest as the crowd of girls started to swallow Niall & I.

"LOUIS!" I screamed. I was still squeezing Niall's sweaty shaky hand. That's when I heard him, Boobear was here to rescue us. "HEY! EVERYONE BACK UP!" I heard Louis shout. I felt his strong hand grasp the back of my collar and pull me towards him with Niall. "BACK UP BEOTCHES! GO ON THEN!" He kept shouting to the bellowing fans. Suddenly I could breathe again. "RUN!" Louis grabbed my hand so now Niall, Me, & Louis were in a chain connected by our strong grips. We all hopped in the van, "Drive!" Louis shouted harshly to Zayn who stepped on the gas & the van jerked forward. The van was silent for a few moments before Niall breathed loudly, "Holy crap." I threw my head back, that was the closest i've ever come to getting hurt by fans. "Harry!" My head snapped in Natalie's direction, "What?" "Your arm, it's bleeding!" I looked to my arm & sure enough, three long bloody nail scratches where that bimbo was grabbing me with her artificial nails.

"Harry!" Liam gasped. "That looks serious!" Natalie nodded quickly in agreement, "I can fix it once we get back to your flat... if you want." Natalie said hesitantly. "Yeah, of course." I answered a little to quickly. "I mean uh... sure." I mentally face palmed at my stupid stuttering. I look like an idiot.

*Natalie's POV*

Once we arrived at Louis & Harry's flat I gripped Harry's wrist & guided him to the toilets. He sat on the toilet lid patiently. I grabbed a swab from the medicine cabinet & wetted it. I started to gently dab the gushing blood from Harry's arm, he winced a little, clenching his teeth. "Oh crap, i'm sorry. Am I hurting you?" I pulled the wet & now partially bloody swab away from his bleeding forearm. "Nonono." He shook his head quickly, his chocolate curls bouncing. I shrugged and continued to dab his arm until it was finished, minimal wincing from Harry. I threw the swab away & grab some neosporn form the cabinet. "This isn't supposed to sting..." I started. "Wait, what is th-" I cut Harry off by quickly spraying his arm with the neosporn. "WOAH!" He shouted. "Wait... that didn't hurt." He looked at his arm quizzically. I laughed, "Told you." I quickly wrapped his forearm in some bandages. Harry stood up & smiled at me, "Thank you nurse Natalie." "No problem." I smirked, "Stay out of trouble young man." I warned him sarcastically. He saluted me jokingly & marched out of the bathroom.

*Harry's POV*

I sighed a breath of relief once I left the bathroom. Natalie can NEVER get that close to me again. My heart rate had finally slowed to normalcy & my stomach stoppef flipping. Did she notice my quick breathing? What if she could hear what I was thinking?! NO. OK Harry, your being paranoid. My thoughts were interuppted by me running into someone... Louis. "Hey mate!" Louis said with a half smile, "I was just looking for you." "Why?" I questioned him. "I needed to talk to you." Louis grabbed my shoulder & walked into his room, shutting the door. My stomach did a flip. Why am I so nervous? It's probably because of what happened last time I was in Louis' room. How could Louis just pretend nothing happened? I never really understood that. "You okay?" Louis asked sitting criss cross on his bed. "What?! Erm... yeah." I stuttered. "Sheesh Harry, you seem so out of it lately..." He started, where was he going with this?

"Out of it?" I asked innocently. "You know exactly what I mean." Louis stated knowingly. I wiped my clammy palms on my jeans, what was he getting at? "I have a feeling this behavior involves... a person." My heart was pounding, had he figured me out?! "P-person?" I asked, my voice faultering. "Yes Harry, a person. A girl specifically." Crap. He knew.

*Louis' POV*

He cracked. Harry had a cracked. I could tell as soon as I said the word girl, he knew I knew. A smirk formed on my lips, devious smirk. He scrunched his eyebrows together, the way he always did when he was nervous or confused, this was nervous, for sure. He's been nervous since he stepped foot in here... but that's because of what happened last time he was in here. It wasn't supposed to happen, it just... did. I'm a good actor, always have been. So I had made it look like I had completely forgotten what happened that Saturday night, but I hadn't. I don't think I ever will, but i'm never going to tell anyone. Harry & I agreed to never tell, anyone. Not any of the other lads. NOBODY. But that's not what he was nervous about now, now it was a girl. "Natalie." I said simply.
