Keep a secret (A One Direction Fan Fiction)

Chapter 6

Megan walked into her cottage, beaming. She had met One Direction!!! Her favorite band in the whole world! 

She went to her room, and lay down. I just met One Direction! She thought again. She was so excited. She quickly checked her twitter, and sent a quick tweet to Harry.

"@MeganSmith @Harry_Styles Looking forward to our swim date tomorrow ;)" 

Normally, she wouldn't be so bold. She didn't want people to think things of her. For a quick second, she was afraid Harry would be creeped out by her boldness. But her phone buzzed, telling her Harry had tweeted back. She hardly had time to freak out over his reply before she read it. Then again. And again.

"@Harry_Styles @MeganSmith Me too! Can't wait to see your swimming skills ;)" 

She choked. She had completely blanked! She didn't know the first thing about swimming. Her parents wouldn't even let her take a bath since she was little and in the big "Accident." She needed to let the boys know, but not out on twitter. It was to public for her secret. Luckily, Harry had followed her, along with the other boys. and... 32,246 other people!!! She was shocked. That's the power of directioners. She thought to herself.

She sent a quick dm to Harry, explaining her predicament. Not saying why she had never learn to swim, just saying she didn't know how. She also asked if he could keep it to himself. She didn't need all of them to know she was the only 18 year old in North America that didn't know how to swim. She hoped for a speedy reply, without having to give an explination. 

~~~~~~~ At the boys house ~~~~~~~

The five boys were sitting together in the living room. Louis was still sulking, Liam was texting Danielle, Zayn was writing a new song he called "Wondering What If." He always wrote songs, but never showed anyone. Niall finishing up the last of Megan's spaghetti, and Harry was on his laptop, tweeting to his fans. Annddd... He was DMing Megan. He was acting like a giddy school girl, excited to see what she said. 

"Harry, I forgot to tell you today. I don't know how to swim. Please don't tell the others, I'm a little inscure about it." 

He smiled. Already trusting him with secrets! "He replied with a "Don't worry, I'll teach you how. Just come over early and we can have our first lesson. ;)"  He looked up at the boys. They were all doing their normal activities. Liam texting his girlfriend, Zayn writing something, and Louis staring at the ground. Then. he noticed Niall staring at him with an angry look in his eye. What's wrong with him? He thought.

Suddenly, all the boys were looking at him and he realized he had voiced his thoughts. "Um.. I, Well..." he stammered. How could he get out of this one? Louis walked over and to look at his twitter. Quickly, Harry switched to mentions, wishing for a little luck. He got it.

"Well, no wonder your angry. Look at what that boy said to you!" Louis's face hardened, and all the boys looked at him surprisidly. He had barely said two words since they had gotten here. "I've never seen  that many swear words in a tweet before. I really wish people wouldn't be so tough."

He looked closer. "And look! He sent another one up there. Scroll up, would you Harry?" 

He did as he was told, and was shocked when he read what the boy had said. "It-Its about Megan." 

The three boys were behind Harry and Louis in seconds. "W-What does it say, Harry? Can you read it out loud?" Niall asked.

"Its says "Dear Harry, Stay away from my Megan. You don't deserve a girl like her. Your a horrible person, so do all three of us a favor and FUCK OFF." 

The boys just stared at the screen. They couldn't think of anything to say. It's not like they could erase it from their brains. 

Finally, Liam broke the silence. "Well the answer to what we need to do is pretty obvious. Clearly, we need to ask Megan who this boy is, how he knows her, and why he is so angry. What's his name?"

"His user name is @Drew_Macartly." Louis said. Then, without another word, He rusumed his postion by the couch. No one bothered to question. The only reason they guessed he even talked was because Harry was upset. The only thing that he cared about more than Eleanor was Harry, his very best friend. 

Suddenly, a DM popped up. At first, the boys didn't care. He always got DM's from random fans he followed. But the name stood out to Niall... It was Megan.

 Niall stiffened. Harry cringed. The other two just standing there, speechless. Before Harry could shut it down, Niall grabbed the laptop and read Megan's message out loud. "Thank you Harry, this means so much to me." Harry turned a bright red and Niall shot him a dirty look.

"What means a lot to her?" He asked. Harry's silence was enough. Niall read the rest of the tweets, and freaked out. "HARRY! WHY WOULD YOU NOT TELL US THIS? THIS IS IMPORTANT!! WE NEED TO KNOW THIS KIND OF STUFF!! How... How could you keep this kind of thing from us, Harry?" 

"Wait!! What's important??" Zayn said. Liam backed away. He hated confrontation. Louis acted like he didn't know what was going on. 

Niall was about to start reading out their messages out loud, when Harry grabbed the computer away from him. "NO! She said it was private and that I wasn't supposed to show anyone, and you saw. If she fin-" He was cut short when he saw a flash of light in the corner. "DID YOU SEE THAT??? It looked like a man!!! In the corner!!!!" He yelled. He turned pale and started shaking.

The boys weren't sure to believe him. Sure, he looked scared, but he could be faking to get the attention off of the Megan topic.

The boys were about to start chewing him out, but then....

"Hello Boys...." Said a voice from the corner. "I've come to talk to you." 

A figure appeared in the corner. Harry started shaking some more. Louis looked up and started freaking out. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE???" 

The boys whipped their heads around. "How do you know him?" Zayn whispered.

"Isn't he....he.....he....." Liam studdered.

"A-A Ghost?" Niall ended.

Louis kept a straight face while he answered the boys question. "He may be a ghost, but he's also the man that... Eleanor cheated on me with."
