Chapter 8: Having Fun
Chapter 8: Having Fun (Harry’s P.O.V.)
I was glad that we had been allowed to come along with Richard. We had wanted to make sure that he actually apologized to Tori-Ly, who we now knew as Tori, but we had also wanted to meet her. And it was just a bonus that we got to hang out with her.
She was laughing with Zayn and Liam right now as Louis was trying to walk on his hands down the sidewalk. He was failing miserably. It was really entertaining to watch anyway.
“I can’t believe you guys flew all the way out here to see me,” Tori said again. It was easy to tell that she was still in some shock over what had happened.
“It was nothing,” Liam said as we all walked on. “We wanted to make sure that you were apologized to.”
“Yeah,” Niall said as he walked over and leaned his head passed Zayn so he could be seen, “We didn’t want that jerk to fake it.”
“Well, thank you guys again,” she said to all of us with a smile.
“It was nothing,” Louis said upside down. He then lost his balance and began to tumble toward the ground again. Zayn and Liam stepped forward and each caught one of his legs. He was still freaking out as if he was falling before he realized that he had been saved.
“That was a close one,” he sighed as they helped him back to his feet. “Thanks.”
Liam clapped him on the back, “Let’s try not to do that again, shall we?”
“Fine,” Louis pouted as he fell back into the crowd with the rest of us.
That was when I decided to ask the question that I was sure was on more minds then just mine, “Where are we going?”
Everyone stopped for a moment, trading glances with one another. I was right about now being the only one who had that thought on their mind now. A few of them shrugged their shoulders as we all continued to looked from one another.
“Well,” Zayn turned to Tori, “where is there to go here?”
Tori thought for a minute before she started smiling, “There is a place we can go.”
Before any of us could ask her anything, she was leading the way to the mystery place. We all asked her where we were going, but she refused to tell us. She just kept saying that it was a surprise. I wasn’t sure whether to be worried or excited. One think I did know was that I hoped that there were no paparazzi around.
“Here we are,” she smiled as she motioned to a little shop.
I gazed up at the sign that hung over the door. It read: Pub Neutral. I thought the name as rather interesting.
“Are you old enough to go in there?” Zayn asked as he walked up to her.
She nodded her head, “Age doesn’t matter at Pub Neutral. That’s why it is called Pub Neutral. The owner Sam doesn’t care who you are as long as you are just stopping in to have fun. That’s one of the reasons why I love this place so much.
Tori wore a giant smile on her face as she talked about the place. It was easy to tell that she had a special connection with it.
“Well, then,” Niall said as he slung an arm around her shoulder and Zayn’s, “What are we waiting for? Let’s get in there.”
He began to push the two toward the door as Liam, Louis, and I followed behind them. The place looked pretty cool. There were round tables throughout the floor with booths along the walls. The lights were dim and there was a little stage in the back. A bar lined the place just to the right of the door.
“Tori!” a voice called. I turned to see the man behind the counter smiling at us.
Tori smiled back as she walked over the bar, “Hey Sam, how’s it going?”
“Good,” he continued as Tori hopped up on a stool. “We have been a little slow on the entertainment feature though.” He nodded his head toward the empty stage in the front.
“I told you Sam,” she sighed, “I have got school so I don’t have enough time to practice.”
The boys and I decided that we should talk a seat, instead of continuing to stand around awkwardly. I pulled up a chair between Zayn and Louis, Niall sat on the other side of Liam who had taken the other chair beside Tori. Zayn was occupying the other seat next to Tori.
“But you are on break now,” Sam said with a slightly pouty voice. “Come on Tori. This place can always do with a little bit of your charm.” He ended with a cheeky grin.
Tori grinned back, “Sam…”
“Hey everybody!” Sam called out to the pub. We all watched as Tori glared at the man as he spoke, “Tori’s here, but she isn’t going to sing for us. What do we think about that?”
The little pub was filled with many people not agreeing with the idea. A chorus of voices sang out, begging Tori to sing. She sighed as she listened. She must have known that she had lost.
“I want a root beer on the house when I get back,” she told Sam as she stood and headed to the little stage. All of us boys smiled as the little pub was filled with cheering.
“No problem!” Sam called excitedly as he moved around to get Tori’s drink ready.
