One Life, Live It
Chapter 15: Day 6
Day 6: 11:04 AM
I should’ve known that just because I drove away it doesn’t mean the fans won’t stop following you. I seriously have no fucking clue how word gets around so fast. I was pulling up to another parking lot that I thought was stranded, but oh praise the Lord! The fans found us.
“Are you fucking kidding me!?” the girl screamed.
Her words were quickly muffled by the crowd of fans that quickly engulfed the car. She quickly sunk down in her seat, covering her face with her hands. I knew I couldn’t get out of here alone. I needed help. I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket and I quickly answered. “Niall!”
“Mate, Louis and I need a ride-“
Screams let out. I groaned. “Oh,” I could heard him chuckly, “You enjoying yourself there? And here I thought only Harry would go as far as having a one night stand.”
“Oh, thank you Niall.” I said sarcastically. “I’m having a fucking fantastic time! It’s not every day your car is getting crushed by a shit load of fans.”
“Somebody doesn’t sound happy.” I could hear Louis.
I felt my phone get snatched out of my hand. “Blondie? Is that you? You know what, I don’t care. Put Kariann on the phone.”
I stared at her in shock. Did she know Niall? Wait a minute… Kariann? Why did that name sound familiar?
“Listen, for some freaking reason I’m in the car with one of their buddies. His name?” I watched her blink. “Shit, I just heard it not five minutes ago…”
An ear-piercing scream let out, followed by chants of my name. “Liam! Liam! Liam!”
The girl held out the phone. “You hear that? Yeah, it’s him alright…”
She started describing where we were before hanging up and giving me my phone back. “Kariann’s coming. That blondie boy and pedophile’s coming too.”
“Niall and… pedophile?” I questioned.
“I don’t remember his name. You said it earlier.”
Oh, Louis. I thought for a moment. “What? How is he a pedophile?”
“He slept in the same bed as my friend last night.”
I sort of freaked out there. “Wait, how old is she?”
She raised an eyebrow. “Twenty.”
I let out a sigh of relief, it followed by confusion. “What-“
My words were cut off by another ear-piercing scream. Okay, with a freaking huge crowd of girls screaming around your car, it was hard keeping up with a conversation. “It’s so fucking loud!” She said, covering her ears.
“Trust me. I know.” I looked at her.
“Do something about it then!” She screamed over the loud noise. “They’re your fans!”
I honestly didn’t know what to do so I reached down, beeping the horn. That didn’t help. It only made a few girls jump up in shock and more girls scream. “What the fuck was that!?”
I shrugged, holding up my hands. “I don’t know what to do!”
My eyes scanned the crowd, finally my eyes landing on something I’d much not rather see. “Shit…” I muttered.
“What?”
“The pap.” I looked at her in desperation. I could already see the papers now. I had a girlfriend, with this kind-of-but-not-really stranger in the car with me, headlines would go crazy. “Get in the back seat and hide.”
“What!?” She asked.
“Do you want your picture taken?” I asked her. She shook her head quickly. I pointed at the back seat. “I suggest you get your ass back there.”
She was doing just as I instructed and I could hear my phone ring again. Niall spoke. “Lad, there’s no way in. You’re going to have to come to us. We’re down the street in a red car-“
I looked. Through a break of a building, I could see Niall waving a hand at me. “Alright. I’ll distract the fans and come around.”
I hung up the phone, turning around to talk to the girl. “Listen, they’re here.”
“Yeah, I can see the boy waving his hand like an idiot.” She breathed, looking over at me.
“I’ll go around and run up the street. When you get free go ahead and run straight to the car.”
“Sounds like a plan for me.” She looked at the fans. “Think you’ll be okay?”
“I’ll manage.” I breathed.
I reached and opened the door, immediately getting latched at and pulled out of the car. Girls were asking for autographs, pictures, and everything else of the like. I smiled and pushed through, getting far enough away from the rental car and seeing the girl climb out and running to the car. Once I saw her disappear through the building space I stopped what I was doing.
I pointed at the sky, “Look, a bird!”
I knew it wouldn’t fool anyone, but it confused them long enough to get a head start in running. I ran, ready to hit the corner and run up the street, but a red car met me at the curb. Louis had the door open, waving me in. I dived in, landing across two laps. Whoever was driving floored the pedal. I drew my feet up, avoiding the door from hitting my feet as it shut and we drove forward. I could hear Louis groaning. “Mate, you landed on my balls!”
I noticed Louis was sitting in the middle, making the face of pain. I looked straight up, noticing the girl was sitting. I offered a small smile as I offered a hand, “I don’t think I’ve properly introduced myself. The name’s Liam Payne.”
“A Payne-In-My-Balls at that.” Louis grunted.
I ignored him. I wanted this girl’s name.
She shook her head as she grinned and interlocked our thumbs and wrapped her fingers over the back of my hand. “It’s Abbi, you crazy motherfucker.”
“Guys… I think we’re being followed.” Niall said as he looked out the back window.
I heaved up, taking a proper seat behind the driver. Louis made a huge sound of exaggeration. I looked behind me, seeing a white van. “Kariann, let’s take them back to the hotel.” Abbi said.
“Okay.” Kariann answered. Niall instructed her on where to go.
I turned to Louis, “I heard all about your little sleepover last night.”
Louis gave me a mischievous smile. “Oh, you don’t have to worry, love. Niall and I were princes.”
I didn’t believe a word he said, but I knew if he nor Niall was going to slip about it, I would never know. I looked out the window, well, either way, he had bigger problems now. The pap was following us and I knew if we didn’t figure out something soon, these girl’s faces would be in the media within 24 hours.
*Liam’s POV*
