Aloha Aloha ✩ Harry Styles (Editing)

Chapter 11

The tune ends and everyone claps. I try to smile as wide as I can, but I know it still looks false.

"Hey, I know I'm drunk but I will talk as serious as I can," Louis says. "What happened to Keanna?"
"You saw her?" I ask.
"Yeah," he says. "She leaved in your solo." I glare at him. "Sorry, I tried."
"I'm going to check," I say, patting his back.

I get of the stage and walk towards the door, but someone grabs my arm.

"Madison?" I ask.
"Don't go," she says. "She needs to be alone."
"I am worried," I tell her.
She sighs. "Me too." She leaves my arm and smiles.
"Is there something wrong?" I ask.
"No," she says and shakes her head.

I smile back and get out of the restaurant.

The sky is now darker. Twilight just have finished and the moon rises and pushes away the sun. Some stars are visible. Keanna is sitting by the banister; her legs are falling in the edge and her face relaxes in the metal bar. I sit besides her and she turns to see me. Her eyes are colorful and her mouth is now forming a smile.

"Everything is okay?" I ask.
"Yeah," she shrugs. "I just..."
"What?" I ask.
"I just had a stomachache and nausea so I felt dizzy and came here," she says. "There were many sweaty people around me. It was worse than in a concert!"
"That's what really happened?" I ask. She wasn't looking at me entirely.
"Yes," she says. "Don't worry."
"I was worried," I reply.
"You don't need to be," she says, smirking.
"But you are my friend," I say.
"Of course," Keanna says.

Her eyes now see mine. Her smile grows wider, and my heart starts racing.

"What are we doing tomorrow?" she asks, grinning.
"You want to be with us?" I ask.
"Yes," Keanna says. "You make me laugh a lot, and laughing is necessary."
"That means you need us?" I ask.
"That means I need laughing," she says, giggling.
"But you need us?" I insist, laughing.
"Yeah," she says. "I need you."

I smile dumbly. She doesn't seems to regret what she just said. A few seconds later, before I could open my mouth to reply something cute, the door of the restaurant opens, and the lads and Madison come rapidly.

"Everything's okay K?" Louis asks.
"Yeah," she replies, giggling.
"Sure?" Madison asks, smiling.
"Sure," she says.
"This is the part when Harry says the T-F-I-O-S joke but Louis stops him before he finishes," Liam says, making Zayn sigh. When Liam is drunk, besides from getting part-time amnesia, he gets annoying.
"Madison?" Keanna says. "What if we make a campfire tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow... yeah," she says. "Monday's free day, right?"
"Right, right," Keanna says. I stand up and help her to stand. She gives me her hand, which is covered with a little of metal dust, and smiles.
"Where are we doing the campfire?" Niall asks.
"Coconut Island," Keanna says, confident.
"We need to take another plane?" Liam asks.
"Okay, put him in the van, now," Zayn says, acting like his mad, but laughing. Niall grabs Liam by the arm an lays him inside the van.
"Where's that?" I ask, laughing.
"It's beside a giant hotel..." Keanna thinks.
"Castle... something?" Louis asks.
"Yes, yes," Madison nods.
"That's were we are staying!" Zayn exclaims.
"Better then!" Madison says, surprised. "What if we bring our best friends?"
"That's an amazing idea!" Keanna exclaims and both high five.
"Ethan!"
"Carter!"
"Anna!"
"Alright, alright," Louis says. "Some friends. We had it clear since Ethan."

✩ ✩ ✩

Liam and Niall lay asleep in one bed, Zayn starts showering, and Louis and I eat a snack in the couch. I am wearing a dull green shirt and clear gray shorts. My hair, wet and clean, is tied in a small ponytail.

(That seemed like a girl narration 😂👌🏼)

"So, now you are sober?" I ask, grinning.
"Yes, I am," he says, sticking out his tongue and throwing me a CrackerJack caramel popcorn.

His hair is also wet and partly combed and he smells so nice. Not like a few hours ago, when all you smelled from him was his sweat and his hair was tangled.

"Did you enjoyed today?" he asks.
"I am enjoying everyday," I say.
"Today is just the second day, no," he says, looking at his phone, "third day we are here."
"Anyways," I shrug.
"You need to do something that impresses her tomorrow in the campfire," he says.
"Like what?" I ask, knowing what he means.
"It's a campfire so... tell a story," he says, smirking and putting the last of his sweet popcorn in his mouth.

✩ ✩ ✩

"My head aches!" Liam exclaims, coming to the first room, rubbing his head.
"Well, you were the most drunk," I reply.
"What about Louis?" he asks.
"He wasn't that drunk and annoying," Niall says.
"Thanks, really," Liam says, sarcastic. "I don't remember everything that happened yesterday's night."
"Well, you acted ridiculously," Zayn says. "And annoyingly."
"Okay, I understand I was kind of annoying," Liam says.
"Very!" I exclaim.
"I want to see what happens when you are drunk Harry," Liam says, looking at me.
"Yeah," Louis thinks. "I've never seen you really drunk."
"You don't need to," I say, smirking.
"Hey, I'm going to a market to buy marshmallows, cookies and more snacks for the campfire," Louis says. He was already dressed in dark blue jeans, toms, and a simple white t-shirt. "Who's coming?"
"Me," I say, feeling already hungry. "Let me dress."
"Five minutes Styles," Louis says, looking at his watch.

✩ ✩ ✩

Louis drives the van silently while I look at my phone in the back seats. I tried to sleep a few minutes ago, but I couldn't. I open Messenger app and search for different people to bother.

Harry: I hate you more!
Ed: No, I hate you more!!

That's enough bothering for today. I lock my phone and look at the left window. Many cars are in the road, stopped by the traffic. In the middle of the street, tall palms grow. The sky today is clear and the sun shines to all its power, making the van really hot even with the air conditioner. I put on my sunnies and keep looking to the road, discovering more and more things and places.
