Beautiful Mistake
Nine
It had been over a month since Felicia and Alexis had started their new jobs which didn’t leave much time to spend with One Direction. They had made numerous plans with Zayn and Harry but they were quickly canceled due to one of the girls taking over another shift to get more hours. Even though the two wanted to spend as much time with the boys as possible, they needed enough money to be stable in their new flat. On top of working they were also trying to get into UNI like they had planned. Today was the first day that both girls had a whole day off together and it just so happened to be the closing ceremonies for the Olympics.
As the two girls sat on their couch waiting for the closing ceremony to start, each of them were bouncing off of the walls. Knowing that it was going to be “A Symphony of British Music” the girls could not wait to see what other British artists they were going to see perform.
A lady in a long, flowing black dress appeared on the screen before the girls eyes. “Why aren’t you One Direction?” Felicia threw a Sour Patch at the television.
“Will she turn into One Direction?” Alexis asked, forcing a handful of popcorn into her awaiting mouth. “That’s kinky..”
“One vagina, five dicks.” Felicia took a swig of her alcohol.
“Six buttholes.”
“Massive orgy!”
“DID I JUST SEE BATMAN?” Felicia sat up in her seat, blinking her eyes rapidly.
“And Robin!” Alexis added. The two quickly became antsy and just started throwing around comments about performances and people that were onscreen.
“I want to play a trombone.” “Zayn’s trombone?” “His tromboner.”
“Oh my god, their arms! They’re doing the monkey!” “What do they even have on their heads?”
“AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!” The two girls began screaming and quickly jumped up and lunged at their television when they heard the familiar beat to “What Makes You Beautiful.”
“Oh my god, OH MY FUCKING GOD.” Alexis screamed.
“LOOK AT LIAM. HOLY SHIT THEY’RE ALL ATTRACTIVE.” Felicia countered.
“I CAN’T BREATHE!” Alexis clenched to her chest.
“ZAYN’S HAT. OH MY GOD. STOP SHOWING DANCERS I WANT ONE DIRECTION. His hair. Oh god, his hair. Zayn, I love you.” “OH MY GOD I can’t right now. My heart! HARRY ahh.” “Crying. LOUIS OH GOD MY BABY. NIALL” “NIALL. I’m gonna pass out.” “LOOK AT LIAM’S OUTFIT HE IS SO FIT AND CUTE AND OH GOD. MORE FEELS.” Their yelling and side comments just turned into a jumble of screams for the five boys.
When the boys finally finished their song, the two girls quickly became upset and started shouting at the TV again. “NO. I NEED MORE. I WANT MORE. MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE. “ Felicia screamed at the television.
“WHAT THE FUCK.” Alexis screamed at the same time as Felicia continued her screaming fits.
“MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE.” Felicia kept on shouting.
“I need them now. I don’t care about this shit.” Alexis pulled herself off of the ground and back onto the couch.
“STOP. This is not One Direction, I DON’T CARE.” Felicia huffed, crossing her arms.
“KILLING MYSELF now that One Direction is gone. Bullshit. SHIT SHIT SHIT, WHAT?” Alexis raised her eyebrows at the strange sight on the television.
“They got rid of 1D for this, DA FUCK.” “THEY DIDN’T EVEN SING THE WHOLE FUCKING SONG. There people go on for fucking hours at a time.” “I DIDN’T GET TO HEAR LIAM LIKE THE FUCK.”
“I want my money back.” Alexis crossed her arms after pulling her blanket back over her legs.
“Alexis, we didn’t pay any money,” Felicia responded, looking at her friend with concern.
“Oh.”
“I’m going to go eat my feelings now,” Felicia said before turning the TV off and making her way towards the kitchen.
“FELICIA! WHY DID YOU TURN THE TV OFF?! ED SHEERAN IS GOING TO BE ON SOON!” Alexis screamed, scrambling to find the remote and turn the television back on.
“If it’s not One Direction, I don’t care. I just want my babies.”
While Alexis continued to watch the closing ceremonies, waiting for Ed Sheeran to appear on screen, Felicia sat in the kitchen with a jar of Nutella and a spoon. Felicia ate her Nutella while Alexis fangirled over Ed. Normally, Felicia would be joining Alexis on the screaming over Ed Sheeran, but she was too pissed off at the Olympics for not showing them as much One Direction as possible; so instead, the two girls sat in separate rooms enjoying themselves in their own weird ways.
As the closing ceremonies came to an end, both girls received direct messages from Liam telling them to get ready and to meet them at Funky Buddha in one hour. Thankfully Felicia had showered prior to the closing ceremonies so it was all on Alexis to shower as fast as she could.
“When will we be rich and famous so we can have peasants do this shit for us?” Alexis questioned, curling her long hair to give it a natural looking wave.
“That would be too easy. Life doesn’t just hand you lemons.” Felicia responded, placing her last few bobby pins in her hair.
While the girls made their way to the club, flashes of lights quickly attacked the girls’ eyes. Comments were shouted at them about being stalkers but the two just shielded their eyes with their clutches and laughed it off. They knew they weren’t stalkers and so did the boys, otherwise they would still be at their flats eating the night away.
“What are your names?” a paparazzi shouted over the others.
“I’m Kelly and I’m a fucking rocket scientist.” Alexis responded. Felicia held back a smirk and went along with her friends answer, “I’m Alisha, like you give a shit.”
Both girls laughed at their Misfits references as they entered the club.
The first one to spot the girls was Louis. A smile spread across his face as he made his way through the crowded room. “What are you lot doing here?” Louis asked, reaching to hug them both separately.
“Liam actually invited us..on Twitter.”Alexis answered.
“Ah! Him and that damn Twitter. I wouldn’t be surprised if he invited over five million fans.” he joked.
“He probably did, or he just felt sorry for us.” Felicia joked.
“I wouldn’t doubt it though. I’d feel sorry for us too.” Alexis added.
“Enough feeling sorry and lets get some drinks.” Louis guided them over to the bar, letting them order whatever their hearts desired, with him paying for it.
After getting their drinks they made their way over to the huge lounge that held all of One Direction’s closest friends and some of their family.
“I don’t see why you’re shagging Zayn when you’re mesmerized by dat ass.”Alexis spoke loud enough just so Felicia could hear. Her eyes snapped quickly to Alexis’.
“That’s why.” Felicia rolled her eyes, unnoticed by the pair across from her.
“Felicia, Alexis, this is Eleanor.” Louis introduced the three girls as they stood next to a table full of drinks that were still half full with lipstick around the rims.
“It’s so good to finally meet you two! I’ve heard a lot about you from Lou.” Eleanor beamed with wide eyes. She reached out her hand to the girls as they plastered on a smile. They shook hands politely with their smiles glued to their faces.
“Did you hear about Lexi almost killing Niall and Zayn in a golf cart race?” Felicia asked in a boring tone causing Alexis to punch her arm. Felicia winced, clenching to the sore spot on her arm that was already forming a bruise. Eleanor laughed, sliding her finger tips over Louis’ arm in a defensive stance, “I didn’t hear about that one yet. I was told about the London Eye incident though.” Felicia scoffed, rolling her eyes once more. It wasn’t a secret that Felicia didn’t like Eleanor. It’s not that she hated her, she just wasn’t a fan.
Within seconds two figures swooped in front of the girls, cutting off Eleanor and Louis. The smell of alcohol beaming off of them, Niall much more than Liam. When Liam drank, he made sure to keep it to a minimum. Niall didn’t have a care in the world, and being Irish he could handle his liquor. “You got my message! I’m glad you could both make it. Danielle can’t wait to meet you two.” Liam hugged the two, looking delighted and shocked that they actually showed. Danielle actually wanted to meet Felicia and Alexis. That would mean they talk about them and make them sound pretty damn amazing.
“It’s been years!” Niall came in for his hugs smelling each girls hair as he did. “You smell like candy.” he spoke into Felicia’s hair. He turned to Alexis, hugging her. “You smell like candy apples.” The two chuckled as Niall draped his arms over their shoulders, “Lets go introduce you’s ladies to Dani girl!” Niall was already drunk which wasn’t a surprise to anyone. It was actually quite funny. Plus it was definitely a time to celebrate. It’s not everyday you and your band get to perform at the Olympics.
“There she is!” Niall dropped his arms and took a seat next to Danielle on the couch that rounded with the table. “Danielle, this is Felicia, and this is the girl that almost took my life.” Niall joked, gulping down another pint with ease.
“Am I ever going to live that down?” Alexis rolled her eyes with a smile. Niall shook his head, giving her a wink.
“It’s nice to meet you both. I’ve heard great things, other than the death talk but I’m sure he’s just being dramatic.” Danielle rose from her seat, giving them both tight hugs.
“He wasn’t being dramatic at all. They almost lost two members.” Felicia spoke before Alexis, holding in her laugh. “It’s probably a good thing Liam wasn’t there.”
“Okay shut up. It was Felicia’s fault to begin with. I didn’t even want to race and now I will never drive a golf cart again.” Alexis rolled her eyes at her friend.
“Come have a seat so we can talk about moments where no one is about to die.” Danielle laughed, sliding back onto the couch.
The three girls quickly struck up conversations left and right as the drinks were constantly set in front of them. They were too engaged in the conversation to realize that they had company surrounding them. Louis and Eleanor were now sitting next to Danielle, where Niall had been. Liam was pulling his friends Andy and Maz over to the table to join them. Alexis scanned the building for the bathroom. Her eyes locked in on the doors as she grabbed her clutch off the table. “Bingo.” she mumbled. “I’ll be right back.” She nudged Felicia who was telling Danielle every detail of the London Eye and golfing. She just nodded her off.
Alexis quickly glided over to the restrooms, pushing through the crowd. On her way our of the restroom she noticed how crowded the place had become and was starting to get uncomfortable. She didn’t do well in tight spaces. Lexi took a deep breath before pushing her way though the extremely crowded dance floor. A hand grabbed onto hers, pulling her through the crowd. Within seconds she was free of the dancing drunks. “Thanks.” She shook off the anxiety that was creeping through her body and gazed up at her hero. It was Harry.
“What are you doing here?” Harry asked as his eyes started to roam over her body, taking in every curve.
“I could ask you the same thing. You could be stalking me again,” Alexis smirked, crossing her arms over her chest. He held up his hands in defense, “I promise I’m not. A smile escaped, showing off his dimples.
“Liam invited us out to celebrate that amazing performance.” Alexis dropped her arms from her chest at ease. “I mean, it should have been longer. I could have lived without seeing all those people dressed in newspapers.”
“It was definitely our most nerve racking performance to date. I’m just glad it’s over and I’m drinking.” Harry smiled, slightly edging closer to the girl. “It was actually my idea to invite you out with us tonight.”
“Your idea? So you’re not sick of me yet?” Alexis questioned with raised eyebrows.
“Should I be?” he inched closer, tilting his head.
“Most people usually are by now but you seem to be handling me pretty well.” she took a step closer with their bodies just a few centimeters away from each other.
“Seems like a challenge that I’ll willing to accept.” he smirked. His fingers reached out to skim over the fabric on her dress. Alexis nibbled on her bottom lip, grabbing Harry’s hand and pulling him over to the table.
Everyone was now joined at the table, besides Zayn. He was nowhere to be found. “Where’s Zayn been all night?” Liam asked Harry over the table. Harry shrugged looking over at the bar. At first glance he spotted Zayn with none other than Perrie. No one actually knew what was going on between the two of them, not even themselves. Harry gently elbowed Alexis’ side to get her attention and nodded in the direction of Zayn. Alexis’ eyes widened as Zayn’s hand ran over Perrie’s lower back.
“I can’t let Felicia see that. She would be devastated.” Alexis whispered into Harry’s ear. Her hand rested on his thigh, “Let me up a second.” Harry stood from the couch letting Alexis out. “Stay here and keep her busy. Do not let her look in that direction.” she ordered.
Alexis swiftly made her way over to the bar next to Zayn, their arms close to touching. She cleared her throats loud enough to get his attention. Nothing. She did it once more but this time she pushed her arm into his. He turned to face whoever was causing trouble next to him and was shocked at the result. “Bet you weren’t expecting me.” Alexis raised a single eyebrow, leaning against the bar. Zayn leaned over to whisper into her ear but she backed away.
“Listen it’s not like that. We uh..we..I invited her to the Olympics since everyone was inviting their girlfriends.” Zayn stuttered, getting closer to Alexis to insure that Perrie wasn’t in hearing range.
“Oh so she’s your girlfriend now?” Alexis scuffed, shaking her head in disapproval.
“No no no! That’s not what I meant at all. I uh..”
“What time do you have work tomorrow?” Felicia leaned over to the person that she thought was Alexis. “You’re not Alexis.” She looked over the mop of hair covering Harry’s face.
“You’re right. I’m Harry and I don’t have work tomorrow.” He smiled cheekily, taking a sip of Alexis’ drink.
“Where’d she go now? And why are you drinking her drink?”
“Um she went to uh get another drink and told me to finish this one.” Harry wasn’t too good of a liar in most cases. He was just hoping he could pull this little one off.
“Listen here bub!” Alexis jolted her finger into his chest, “Felicia is my best friend and even though you’re hot doesn’t mean you can fuck her over. Don’t lead Felicia on and don’t be putting your dick in a bunch of girls. That’s nasty and I won’t allow it. Now, you either come spend some time with her or you get the fuck out of here with your friend.” She let out a huff of relief. “And yes, I do have my sassy pants on tonight.”
“But you’re not wearing pants…” Zayn peeked down at her bare legs with a grin.
“Well..panties then. This is my sassy outfit!” Alexis stormed off and back to the table.
Harry rose from his seat, letting Alexis slide back in. “There you are! I was worried sick.” Felicia grabbed onto her friend, bringing her tightly into her embrace. “Where’s your drink?”
“Right here.” Alexis lifted up the glass Harry had been drinking out of to be brought with an empty glass. She creased her eyebrows and set the glass back down.
“You just went to the bar to get a drink and had Harry finish that one.” Felicia looked back and forth between Alexis and Harry with suspicion.
“Yeah..yeah! I tried getting a drink but this guy at the bar was being a douche bag so I left before I beat his ass and got kicked out.” Alexis wasn’t a great liar when she was face to face with a person, unless it was her mom. She’d gotten good at lying to her mom when she was in high school. Even though it was the little things that her mom probably wouldn’t have cared about. But this wasn’t a complete lie that she had told Felicia. In this case Zayn was the douche bag and she did want to beat his ass.
“Harry shouldn’t you be protecting yo’ girl and kicking that guy’s ass?” Felicia gestured towards the bar. Alexis smacked her arm down and shook her head, “Shut up.” She mumbled through gritted teeth. Harry laughed from the other side of Alexis.
“Is it that guy with the bald head? Or that fat guy with the jean jacket? Or that half naked guy next to him? Or that other half naked guy? Or Zayn? Or that- ZAYN! Guys look it’s Zayn! I found him, he’s at the bar talking to some-” “Perrie.” Eleanor cut in on Felicia excitement of her Zayn spotting. “She went to the Olympics with him.” she added.
“Oh..” Felicia’s eyes sadden as she fidgeted with her clutch. Alexis leaned into her friend, lightly nudging her arm, “Do you want to go back to the flat? I don’t have a problem with leaving now.”
“No it’s fine. I just have to go to the bathroom then we’ll hit the dance floor.” Felicia plastered on her smile, pushing for Harry and Alexis to let her off the couch. They did so and watch as she strolled to the restrooms, then going to the bar and getting shots for the whole table including Felicia since she would need them.
After waiting for ten minutes the group decided to take their shots without Felicia present. They all held up their glasses before tossing the liquid into their mouths. The shots continued and caused them to lose track of time. Alexis pulled out her phone from her clutch to check the time. It was almost four in the morning! “Holy shit!” She exclaimed, jumping from her seat and sliding her phone back into her clutch. “I have work tomorrow and it’s already four!” Harry stood up beside her, placing his hands on her waist, “Damn..does that mean we can’t have any fun tonight?” He smiled cheekily as he stood over Alexis, pulling her in closer to his body. A smirk slowly appeared on her face as she ran a finger over his chest, “Hmm well you could come back to my flat and find out.” She teased slowly backing up towards the exit. The two began their walk through the dark streets of London back to Alexis and Felicia’s flat. -
As the two girls sat on their couch waiting for the closing ceremony to start, each of them were bouncing off of the walls. Knowing that it was going to be “A Symphony of British Music” the girls could not wait to see what other British artists they were going to see perform.
A lady in a long, flowing black dress appeared on the screen before the girls eyes. “Why aren’t you One Direction?” Felicia threw a Sour Patch at the television.
“Will she turn into One Direction?” Alexis asked, forcing a handful of popcorn into her awaiting mouth. “That’s kinky..”
“One vagina, five dicks.” Felicia took a swig of her alcohol.
“Six buttholes.”
“Massive orgy!”
“DID I JUST SEE BATMAN?” Felicia sat up in her seat, blinking her eyes rapidly.
“And Robin!” Alexis added. The two quickly became antsy and just started throwing around comments about performances and people that were onscreen.
“I want to play a trombone.” “Zayn’s trombone?” “His tromboner.”
“Oh my god, their arms! They’re doing the monkey!” “What do they even have on their heads?”
“AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!” The two girls began screaming and quickly jumped up and lunged at their television when they heard the familiar beat to “What Makes You Beautiful.”
“Oh my god, OH MY FUCKING GOD.” Alexis screamed.
“LOOK AT LIAM. HOLY SHIT THEY’RE ALL ATTRACTIVE.” Felicia countered.
“I CAN’T BREATHE!” Alexis clenched to her chest.
“ZAYN’S HAT. OH MY GOD. STOP SHOWING DANCERS I WANT ONE DIRECTION. His hair. Oh god, his hair. Zayn, I love you.” “OH MY GOD I can’t right now. My heart! HARRY ahh.” “Crying. LOUIS OH GOD MY BABY. NIALL” “NIALL. I’m gonna pass out.” “LOOK AT LIAM’S OUTFIT HE IS SO FIT AND CUTE AND OH GOD. MORE FEELS.” Their yelling and side comments just turned into a jumble of screams for the five boys.
When the boys finally finished their song, the two girls quickly became upset and started shouting at the TV again. “NO. I NEED MORE. I WANT MORE. MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE. “ Felicia screamed at the television.
“WHAT THE FUCK.” Alexis screamed at the same time as Felicia continued her screaming fits.
“MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE.” Felicia kept on shouting.
“I need them now. I don’t care about this shit.” Alexis pulled herself off of the ground and back onto the couch.
“STOP. This is not One Direction, I DON’T CARE.” Felicia huffed, crossing her arms.
“KILLING MYSELF now that One Direction is gone. Bullshit. SHIT SHIT SHIT, WHAT?” Alexis raised her eyebrows at the strange sight on the television.

I found him, he’s at the bar talking to some-” “Perrie.” Eleanor cut in on Felicia excitement of her Zayn spotting. “She went to the Olympics with him.” she added.
“Oh..” Felicia’s eyes sadden as she fidgeted with her clutch. Alexis leaned into her friend, lightly nudging her arm, “Do you want to go back to the flat? I don’t have a problem with leaving now.”
“No it’s fine. I just have to go to the bathroom then we’ll hit the dance floor.” Felicia plastered on her smile, pushing for Harry and Alexis to let her off the couch. They did so and watch as she strolled to the restrooms, then going to the bar and getting shots for the whole table including Felicia since she would need them.
After waiting for ten minutes the group decided to take their shots without Felicia present. They all held up their glasses before tossing the liquid into their mouths. The shots continued and caused them to lose track of time. Alexis pulled out her phone from her clutch to check the time. It was almost four in the morning! “Holy shit!” She exclaimed, jumping from her seat and sliding her phone back into her clutch. “I have work tomorrow and it’s already four!” Harry stood up beside her, placing his hands on her waist, “Damn..does that mean we can’t have any fun tonight?” He smiled cheekily as he stood over Alexis, pulling her in closer to his body. A smirk slowly appeared on her face as she ran a finger over his chest, “Hmm well you could come back to my flat and find out.” She teased slowly backing up towards the exit. The two began their walk through the dark streets of London back to Alexis and Felicia’s flat. -
