The Runaways
RUN!!
*Niall's POV:
I grabbed Addison's hand and started through the pack of girls that were huddled in the airport. We were just about through when she stopped.
"What's wrong?" I whispered, not wanting to take the chance of my voice being reconized.
She didn't respond, only adjusting our hands so that our fingers were intertwined. A content smile replaced the frown on her face. I gave her a confused look, a small grin appearing on my own face.
"The other way was uncomfortable," she whispered with a laugh. "This is better." She looked back to the others who appeared to be having trouble with Carter's plan. It was a pretty good idea, better than anything we could have come up with. The hard part was trying to act close with these girls when we just met them 10 minutes ago.
"How are we gonna do this?" I asked my new friend. She bit her bottom lip in contemplation.
"Uhm, we could just tell each other really bad jokes and make our laughs flirty," she suggested.
I laughed, slinging my arm around her shoulder, "Okay, but be prepared," I warned her, "I have some pretty bad jokes."
She shook her head, the smile never leaving her face. "We'll see," she responded.
*Carter's POV:
"What are we going to do to make this covincing?" Louis asked me. I had a couple ideas in mind but I didn't want to be tooforward. I mean I just met the guy 10 minutes ago.
"Well, we could hold hands," I suggested, looking down at his hand.
"Fine with me!" he exclaimed, grabbing my hand and immediately interlocking our fingers. Our hands fit perfectly. Like they were meant to hold each other. Cliche I know but oh well. They did.
Lou was the next to suggest an idea. "Do you a little kissing action would be too far or?" he trailed off, waiting for my opinion. I felt the heat come into my cheeks.
"I think that would be just fine," I blurted before coming up with a non desparate sounding answer.
He chuckled, pecking me on the cheek. "How's that?" he asked, a cheeky ass smiled plastered on his beautiful face.
My cheeks grew a darker shade of red, but I didn't care. This day was perfect.
"I think you need to do that a lot," I said back, trying to be flirty.
He picked up our speed, going after Niall and Addison. His smile a mile wide.
*Harry’s POV:
“Do you know how unfair it is for us to be stuck back here?” I whined. “No offence to you guys, but I’d rather be with the attractive girls we found than be buddying it up back here with you guys.”
Me, Liam, and Zayn are trailing behind the couples as per request. Just looking at them getting close to one another was enough for me. The hand holding of Niall and Addy, the kissing on the cheek of Louis and Carter… those lucky bastards.
“None taken mate. I think we feel just as annoyed to be with each other than up there with them.” Zayn said, pointing in their general direction.
“I don’t even know why you seem to care so much. They’re only helping us get around these fans. The minute we get to the other side, we’ll go our separate ways and probably never see them again.” Liam reasoned. Me and Zayn stopped and turned to look at him with a Thanks-A-Lot-For-Making-Us-Feel-Better expression. “What?” he said, oblivious as to what we were getting at. I rolled my eyes and started picking up the pace again, trying to catch up with the other half of our party who were just about at the group of thrashing teenage girls.
The couples stopped in front of us, letting me, Zayn, and Liam catch up. Louis turned around, giving us his famous mischievous smile. “We ready?” he asked us all. Several Yeah’s and Ready’s were said in reply. He nodded his head and put his hood up, us, minus the girls, following his lead. Niall turned around and took Addy’s shaking hand again while Louis situated his arm around the petite shoulder of Carter. We were ready. We each took a deep breath and entered the mob.
Our goal was to get in and out as quick as possible without being seen. Each and every one of us kept our specific act while we maneuvered our way through the crowd. Before we knew it, we all came out on the other side in one piece. “Yes! We did it!” Addy yelled, tackling Niall into a hug that he obviously welcomed. We all let out a huge sigh of relief until something about the atmosphere changed. The airport seemed a little less obnoxious. Things seemed to be dead silent. The rest of One Direction and the girls were looking at me like I had 5 heads. What is going on? I slowly turned around to see every face from the mob staring at me. "Harry!" Carter whispered over to me. I slowly shifted my head to let her know I was listening. "Your hood!" she cried. No! My hand automatically traveled up to my head, hoping the curls of my actual hair rest beneath my fingertips. Damn it! Someone must have hit me and knocked it down without me even realizing. This is all my fault....
After what seemed like a lifetime of silence, the frenzy of girls seemed to snap out of it and realize that the 5 boys they thought were coming off the plane to meet them, were actually slipping right past them: escaping.
We didn't know what to do, but somehow Liam figured out the reasonable solution to this BIG problem
