Waiting for You (1D)

11. Group hug

11.Group hug

(Harry’s POV)

“I’m Georgia” the first girl said laughing.

I felt more comfortable in the room after one of them had taken the bag off their head. Don’t get me wrong, I had found it absolutely hilarious, but they reminded me of executioners.

“And I’m Oceana” the second girl said after taking the brown bag off her head.

I felt my heart pick up speed. I could actually feel it beating against my chest. What was happening? Before I could do anything, Niall opened his arms.

“GROUP HUG” he shouted. The other boys joined in. Georgia and Oceana were in the middle of the hug. I felt myself being pushed against Oceana.

“I. Can’t. Breathe” she said. Her voice was muffled.

“That’s because love is overpowering. Isn’t it Harry?” Louis said, looking at me with a cheeky grin.

“What” I managed to say after I heard my name.

The group hug broke away. I found myself staring at Oceana as she talked to Georgia. She looked at me. We made eye contact. Oh god.

“Well, Harry, it looks like you’ve perked up a bit since we entered this room with these two lovely young ladies!” Louis said loudly, placing a hand on my shoulder.

Oceana looked away and started laughing.

I stopped looking at Oceana to talk to him. “You didn’t have to say that so loud. I just needed...” great, I started that sentence without knowing how to finish it.

“Needed what, Harry? What was it you needed to perk up?” Louis asked with a sly smile.

Louis always seemed to manage to get everything out of me.

I panicked. What should I say? Louis was staring at me with wide eyes and a cheeky grin.

I knew what I wanted to say, but, “I just needed to be away from all the interviews”.

Yeah, that was lame.

“Sure” Louis said, patting my shoulder.

Louis was the guy that could make me spill any secret at the wrong time, and when I wouldn’t say it, he would. Sometimes in front of cameras. I would then laugh stupidly whilst trying to put my hands over his mouth to stop him.

I needed to test something. I walked over to Oceana who was standing with Georgia who was talking to Zayn, Niall and Liam.

“Hi Oceana” I mentally punched myself. That probably sounded really stupid, but she just sm iled.

“Hi” she replied.

“You ok?” I asked her. She was a bit shaky.

“Oh, yeah, just… nervous I guess” she replied. I quickly touched my wrist. Yes, my pulse confirmed it.

“Don’t be! We are going to have an awesome day, I promise! A day with One Direction shall be one to remember” for more reasons than one, I wanted to add.

Again, that sounded really stupid.

“Yeah, I bet it will be” she said, looking at the ground. She looked a bit awkward and I felt a bit sorry for her.

So I hugged her.

Well, what else was I supposed to do?
