Lost In The Music
Chapter Eight
*Harry's P.O.V*
"Truth or dare Harry?"
"Dare."
"Ok, I dare you to kiss the girl you think is the prettiest right now," Liam said, a cheeky grin spread on his face. These boys are way too desperate to know who likes who, but at least some previous dares weren't love-related; Liam had to lick a bar of soap, Zayn had to eat half a canister of salt, and Louis had to dress up like a girl in heels and makeup while we took a picture and posted it on Twitter. The majority of the truths were about past secrets, so we weren't stuck on the one-way love train.
I could see the girls watching me intently, and both of their faces slightly turned red. I was about to head over there when Savannah suddenly stood up.
"I gotta go do something I'll be back in a few," she said as she rushed out the door. Everyone was smirking at me.
"What?" I asked even though I had a general idea of what they were going to say.
"It's obvious you like her, but give her some space. She's still getting over her last boyfriend," Riley said. The boys immediately stopped smirking.
"Oh, we're sorry. We didn't know," Liam apologized.
"Yeah, what happened? She mentioned him twice, but then she stopped talking about him," I asked.
"It's not my place to tell you, but when she's ready, she will." Savannah came back into the room five minutes later.
"Sorry about that, I forgot to feed my cat for the night," she said as she sat down next to me.
"So, who's turn is it?" she asked.
"Harry's," Zayn responded.
"Ok, this one's for Riley," I said.
"What is your darkest secret?" I asked. She exchanged amused glances with Savannah, and raised her eyebrows.
"You sure you want to know?" She asked. Everyone nodded, leaning in closer.
"Well, when I was twelve, someone dared me to break into the school after school hours were over and I did, but I accidently messed up the vending machine. And the next day, the principal suspended someone else because she thought they were the one that vandalized the school." She said. We all started laughing, and at that moment, the doorbell rang.
"PIZZA!" Riley shouted. I got up, opened the door, paid the guy, and placed the steaming boxes on the counter. As I opened them, I could see Niall twitching. He looked like he was having a spasm or something. Riley went over to him and whispered a few words to him. He leaped out of his seat, engulfed her in a giant hug, and ran over to the pizza.
*Riley's P.O.V*
Awww, poor Niall. I felt really bad for the dare I gave him, so I went over to him.
"You don't have to the dare," I whispered. He gave me a humongous bear-hug, and dashed to the pizza. As he stuffed his face, he smiled at me. He was pretty adorable. I wonder if he's single. . .
*Savannah's P.O.V*
Harry came over to me as I was watching Niall and Riley finish off the remaining 2 boxes of pizza."We're gonna go down to the den and watch a movie soon," he said. I nodded and retreated to the guest room Harry'd shown me. My phone started to ring as I was about to go back out. I sighed, and answered.
"Hello?" I walked back to the living room as I talked.
"Hey, it's Mom. How's. . . Harry?"
"Great, how's the case going?"
"The case might take awhile; maybe until next week, so I probably won't be back until two weeks from Sunday because of the District Attorneys and all their paperwork. But so far, it's looking pretty good! There's some evidence that I can use to prove he's guilty because the police found some DNA on the. . ." Mom rambled on for a full 3 minutes until I cut in.
"Sorry Mom, but I gotta go; my pizza's ready."
"Ok. Love you!"
"Love you too!" I hung up and saw the boys were smirking at me.
"What? Come on! Y'all say 'I love you' to your parents too!" I said. They just shook their heads with cocky grins on their faces. I rolled my eyes. Whatever.
"So, what's the movie?" I asked.
"Well, it was Titanic or The Hunger Games, but Liam here wanted to watch Toy Story 3," Harry said, jerking his head in Liam's direction.
"Fine with me," I said, heading downstairs to the den with Harry trailing behind me. Or, at least what I assumed was the den. I actually ended up in what looked like the game room. There was a pool table in the middle, an air hockey table was in a corner, two racks of video games were pushed up against the wall, and a giant flat screen was mounted on the wall. Apparently, the boys were playing FIFA. Three couches were facing the TV at various angles, the coffee table was covered in plastic cups and food, and a fridge sat in a corner. Random game controllers were strewn everywhere, and the room smelled like chips and root beer.
"Whoa! Why didn't you tell me you had an awesome game room?" I asked Harry. He just winked and flopped down on one of the couches.
"Pretty sweet, huh?" I nodded, and the boys came running in.
"Oh yeah! We forgot to tell you, we have an awesome game room," Louis teased, hearing my previous comment. I rolled my eyes.
"A little late now, isn't it?" They snickered and jumped onto the couches like last time, except this time, Liam landed on the third couch instead of on me.
"If you want, we can ditch the movie idea and just hang out in here," Harry suggested to nobody in particular. The boys were already resuming their FIFA game, so all Harry got response-wise was a flippant "Ok", and a "Fine with me". He shrugged and grabbed a controller while I went to go get Riley.
"Hey Riles, change in plans. We're all gonna hang out in the game room," I announced. She nodded and followed me.
I heard her let out a tiny gasp as she took in everything in the game room. She made a beeline for the stocked fridge, and grabbed about 3 different sodas and a bag of barbeque chips. Since the boys were using the TV, we played air hockey. I kept on beating her because she was too busy laughing her head off every time Niall would scream, "NO! You're doing it WRONG!" She so likes him. Eventually, we got bored (and Riley got mad because I was beating her every time), and we wanted to play on the Kinect, but the boys were hogging the TV. Riley tried a couple of times to get their attention, but her small Florida voice was lost in all the boys' shouting. Since I didn't want to burst the boys' eardrums with my really loud voice, I glanced around the room. I spotted the TV remote, so I snuck over and snatched it off the table. They didn't notice, so I paused the game and they turned around, looking slightly irritated.
"What? How did the game pause by itself?" Louis asked, scratching his head. I teasingly held up the remote.
"Don't you think you'll need this to keep on playing?" They all glanced at each other before launching themselves at me. I nimbly dodged all 5 of them and ran upstairs.
As I went past each room, I closed the doors to mislead them. I sprinted down the hall and locked myself in the last room. It looked like someone's bedroom, judging by the posters and the unmade bed. I heard Zayn grumbling to them.
"How can a girl be so fast? She was like lightning!" I could barely hear the other's muffled responses because I was busy burying myself in a pile of blankets in the closet. Louis was complaining about the fact that they only had one remote, and Niall was whining about wanting food. Of course.
"Truth or dare Harry?"
"Dare."
"Ok, I dare you to kiss the girl you think is the prettiest right now," Liam said, a cheeky grin spread on his face. These boys are way too desperate to know who likes who, but at least some previous dares weren't love-related; Liam had to lick a bar of soap, Zayn had to eat half a canister of salt, and Louis had to dress up like a girl in heels and makeup while we took a picture and posted it on Twitter.

Thank You, I guess. It's not everyday I hear random people say they love me! But seriously, it was no biggie ;)
