Trapped In A Mall With One Direction

Chapter Ten

Harry's POV~

Dezi and I sat on the table, laughing our heads off at everyone singing around us. It was really funny. 

"Hey," Dezi spoke, inbetween fits of laughter. "I think that's enough singing for one day. Wanna go for a walk?"

I grinned at her. "Sure" Taking her hand, I helped her off the table. We walked around in silence for a bit, looking anywhere but at each other. 

"Harry?" I looked over to see Dezi staring at me. Her dark, curly hair was a little tangled from lack of washing. Her chocolate brown eyes were looking directly into my green ones. She was wearing ripped red skinny jeans and a blue cookie monster t-shirt, with a white hoodie. Her purple converse weren't in the best condition though.

"Yeah?"

"When this whole thing is over, like when the storm passes and we can get out of here," I nodded, indicating that I understood what she meant. "Will, um..." she looked down then back at me. "Will you forget about me-err us? Like me and the girls?"

I stared at her for a moment. Was she being serious? "Of course not! Why would you even ask such a question?"

She shrugged. "I can't ever forget my favourite girls ever!"'

"But you're famous! You have girls crawling all over you! Prettier girls than us! Models, for crying out loud! Why on Earth would you want to hang out with a bunch of nobody's like us?"

I grabbed her arm so we could come to a stop. We were standing inbetween an electronics store and a book store. "To be honest, Dezi, I would rather hang out with you, a crazy, pranking, different kind of girl, than any other girl on the planet. All those other girls only like me for my looks and fame, but you, you like me for who I am, Harry Edward Styles. Not Harry from One Direction.  Sure there are plenty of other girls out there that are prettier than you, smarter than you, but you're one of a kind. I would rather have ice cream dripping down my hair, in a massive food fight with you, then be going to some fancy Italian restaurant with some other girl. Because, to be honest Dezi, you're all I could ever ask for." I finished with a smile. Now that was an impressive speech, if I say so myself.

Dezi stared at me, her big brown eyes, wider than usual. "I- I don't know what to say." Her cheeks were getting redder by the second.

"Then don't say anything." I whispered. And the next thing I knew, we were both leaning in. I knew that everything was going to fast. That I'd only met her like a day ago. But I kept lening, closer and closer to her. Just as our lips were about to touch, the unthinkable happened.

The power went out.

Scarlet's POV~

"C'mon Niall! Eat it! Eat it! Eat it!" I cheered my Irish friend as he was having an eating contest with Louis. Everyone knew that Niall had this one in the bag, but Louis was bored and wanted a challenge.

"Ugh this is so disgusting!" Miranda made a face at the two boys.

"I don't think I can eat another bite." Louis grumbled, putting down his burger. 

"oh no! You are NOT giving up that easily!" Mackenzie yelled at Louis.

Before Lou could take another bite, Niall had finished his fifth, and last burger. "Done!!" He exclaimed throwing his hands in the air.

"Yay!" I ran over and hugged my new best friend. 

As we celebrated and Louis and Mack sat all gloomy, Liam's phone rang.

He checked the caller ID before answering. "Hello? Paul?"

And then the lights went out, which made me scream my head off. 

"Paul?" Liam kept repeating into the phone. "Guys! The line went dead!" He yelled into the darkness.

"I'll try with my phone." I heard Niall say, somewhere beside me. Oh God I was freaking out. Where was evrybody?! I really hated the dark.

"My phone's dead!" Niall yelled.

"Mine too!"

"No service!"

I heard people around me. "Niall? I can't see! Where are you?" I cried.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and I screamed, louder than before. "Sh! It's okay, Scarlet. It's me." Niall assured me. I turned around and put my arms around him as if my life depended on it. "Are you scared of the dark?" He whispered in my ear.

I nodded, then realizing he coulnd't see me, I let out a small "yeah".

"It's almost midnight. I think we should find somewhere to sleep." Zayn said.

"but how? We can't see shit!" Shayna argued.

"use or instincts I guess." Liam said.

"Can we stay together? I don't want to lose anyone." Miranda whispered.

There was a chorus of "yeah"s and "Sure"s. We all managed to find each other and all held hands, so we wouldn't get lost. There were a few emergency lights that were powered by the generator, but they were very dull so it didn't make much of a difference. I still clung tightly onto Niall, using him as my little life boat.

"I think we turn left here." Louis said.

"No! I'm pretty sure we go right." Mackenzie assured.

"Wait! Has anyone seen Harry or Dezi?"

This was going to be a loooong night.
