Chapter Fifteen: I'm Torn

Chapter Fifteen:

P. O. V. = Liam Payne

            I stayed as far as I possibly could from Harry, let’s just say he wasn’t in a good mood yesterday or the day before or the day before that and he definitely wasn’t thrilled today. Somehow in his mind he figured this was my entire fault, although I have to admit it was probably my doing. I couldn’t shake the guilt from shoulders even though the lads had tried to convince it wasn’t

“Hey Li, you okay?” Zayn asked smiling slightly I probably still looked extremely distraught although I nodded hesitantly. What can I say? I felt terrible. “Well Maddie’s coming over soon and we’ve tipped the paps so you might want to erm . . . spiffy up.” Weakly I chuckled. I still didn’t know about Maddie, I mean she was a fabulous girl but she seemed to be in love with everybody.

Running a hand through my hair I looked up and smiled. “Okay Zayn, so what’s the occasion? What are we doing?”

Zayn glanced down at the iPhone in his hand read off the text. “Exclusive party hosted by Amory Blanchard. Each guest may invite one extra. Black tie occasion.” Maddie was my guest I suppose although I hadn’t an idea how we were invited. I’m pretty sure I don’t know an Amory Blanchard.

“Um . . . who’s this guy?” Zayn smirked now and pressed his lips together and walked out of the lobby. Did I really want to know? Yeah. Eagerly I sought out Louis and Niall whom were chatting with Harry by his bed in our new hotel room. He had been healthy enough that we were able to transfer him to bed rest at the hotel. “Hey who is Amory Blanchard?” Niall and Louis exchanged troubled glances before Harry spoke up.

“I honestly don’t see the need for you to know. Surprises are fun!” I rolled my eyes. Why couldn’t he ever just be in a good mood? He’s gotten his surgery over with, why not be happy?

“Yeah. Why don’t you get that suit we’ve laid out for you on? It’s hanging up in the closet.” Niall spoke up giving the room key whilst giving Lou another troubled glance which made Lou whisper something into Harry’s ear and all three broke out into fits of giggles. Wonderful. Ready to see what I would be wearing I hiked up to the room Niall and I shared. We had switched rooms half way through our stay due to all the drama that had begun so I wasn’t as familiar with the journey. Thankfully I got to the suit safely only bumping into two senior citizens! Quickly I slid the key and pried the door open and made my way to the closet where an elegant completely formal wedding tuxedo hung. Tonight was going to be so fun!

We were all in matching black tuxedos whilst Louis was in a bright red tailored overcoat and grey trousers. Even Harry had been permitted to leave the hotel to join the party!

“So Nialler, do ya know when Maddie’s supposed to come?” Louis asked jabbing the Irish boy in his chest as he turned scarlet. Everybody knew Niall had a huge crush on Maddie although that was utterly useless because he was in forever friend-zone.

Nervously Niall dug into his pocket and produced an iPhone. “Um . . . she’s on her way.” I’m going to guess he already knew that and just didn’t want to sound all stalkerish.

Stretching my legs I got up from the triangular patterned chair in the lobby and got up to the door to see if she was there. Ironically I was there at the same time as her. “Why hello Liam, you look spiffy!” She said in an absolutely terrible British accent.

“Why Maddie you look as good as a roasted hog on Christmas Eve, babe!” I retorted in a terrible southern accent causing me to instantly blush after calling her “babe”. She was wearing an elegant maroon strapless dress that made her look beautiful. Her lips were the same color of her dress and her dark hair was in waves behind her . . . in all honesty she looked whoa.

“Huh. Babe, I like that.” She smirked pressing her maroon lips together. For an instance I felt incredibly proud until I noticed the pap pretending to read a Hollywood gossip magazine.

“You do?” I asked in my most flirtatious manner . . . it didn’t quite sound flirty still I was happy she was my date at this mysterious party. All mine. That was at least a plus.

I’d be lying to say Liam didn’t look hot; his short hair was ruffled up and made him look extremely attractive. He was just a very attractive young man!

“So are you ready for the party?” I asked linking arms with the boy as I tried not to let my gaze wander over to the paparazzo. Behind me I felt Harry’s gaze on me and I have to admit I liked the fact two guys liked me so much . . . is that wrong? “Oh Harold are you jealous of Liam?” I teased lacing my arms around his too.

“Why of course now Madeline!” He smirked back at me. Goodness that lad was extremely attractive too.

“Oh Maddie your making me feel left out!” Louis whined stopping his foot childishly, I softly chuckled.

“You can have Niall and Zayn’s company!” I offered making Harry chuckle. I loved the attention and I’m too sure that’s a good idea. Forgetting Liam I looked over to him to see that he had his brow furred deep in thought. “What’s wrong Li?” I asked trying to keep a teasing quality.

“Uh . . . nothing, just thinking. Do you know anything about the part?” he asked glancing over at me.

“Not a bit . . . Niall hadn’t told me a thing about the party except to dress nicely!” I exclaimed out in faux shock. Quickly I unlaced my arms and pulled my keys out of the little black leather purse I was using to carry my money and keys. “Are we taking my jeep?”

Zayn shook his head. “Actually we have a limo waiting in the back.” He said causing me to feel rather stupid as Niall and Louis led us as they skipped and sang we’re off to see the Wizard.  Trying to keep up with them my stilettos clicked loudly, it was a miracle that I hadn’t tripped yet! I had to admit I was ready for my first exclusive party!

P. O. V. = Harry Styles

I was mad at Liam for so many reasons that I’d rather not list right now but I was happy at where I stood right now, my arms locked with Maddie’s. Although her other arm was intertwined with Liam’s I knew she really wanted to be with me. She was just my type of girl, flirty, outgoing, and beautiful. She was too strong for someone like Liam; he liked a girl that was sweet.

“So guys remember the drinking limit here is 21.” Daddy Directioner reminded us for the umpteenth time.

“Forget that I’m getting drunk!” Niall exclaimed getting a round of high-fives from Zayn and Louis. My Lou. Who cares if he’s been hanging out with Zayn and Niall a lot more recently? It doesn’t matter . . . I was to be dancing with a beautiful girl tonight. Even if she was one of my band mate’s fake girlfriend.

Suddenly a maroon colored nails were flailing before my eyes. “What are you thinking that’s making you so mad Harold?” Maddie asked. Quickly I slipped a smile over my lips and grinned toward her.

“Oh just the things I was going to get you to do once you’re drunk.” I pretended bantered with a wink. She didn’t have to know I wasn’t joking.
