Inseparable
Nervous
Lana’s POV
I waited quietly on the couch for the girls for three hours. I was secretly hoping that they would show up earlier but they didn’t. They came right on time, 7:00. I opened the door and watched as they strolled past me and walked in.
“Wow, nice apartment.” Dani said sitting on the couch. Eleanor sat beside her and I looked out the door for Perrie but I didn’t see her.
“Where’s Perrie?”
“Oh she had to do some last minute thing with Little Mix. She’ll be back in two days.” Dani smiled.
“So are you ready?” Eleanor rubbed her hands together in anticipation.
“Ready as I’ll ever be.” I said lowly. Hopefully too low for them to hear.
“Well let’s go before they start closing the gates and we have to sit with the crowd. Last time that happened, Dani and I were almost torn apart.” Eleanor said disgusted. She picked up her bag and stood up along with Dani, waiting for me to say something.
“Let me just grab my phone.” I said. They nodded and brushed past me to go to the car. I went to the couch and picked up my phone from under a pillow. I turned it on to check the time but I was greeted with something much different.
My twitter had blown up. Like completely blown up. There were so many people tweeting me at one time that it crashed, twice. Most of the tweets were hateful and they made me cringe the minute I read them. I shut off my phone all together, trying to rid my mind of the harsh comments, and stuffed it into my back pocket.
After locking the door, I ran downstairs and joined them in the car.
“Everything okay?”
“Twitter.” I muttered.
“It’s hard when you first start dating them.” Eleanor says from the front seat.
“I didn’t expect it to be this bad.” I pulled up one of the crueler tweets. “Like this one says ‘how about you stay away from my Harry and go die you useless bitch’.”
“That’s rude.” Dani snorts.
“Why don’t you tell Harry? That’s what Louis had to do. He had to tweet his fans to stop the hate.” Eleanor suggests.
“I don’t want to bother him. Especially tonight. He’ll see it eventually and then we can talk about it.”
We pull into the parking lot about 20 minutes later. Eleanor and Dani told some security guards who we were and soon we were piling out the car in the back entrance. I stayed behind the girls as they greeted everyone of the One Direction team, feeling a little left out. We ducked into a spare room and waited silently for the boys.
I walked up to the table with food on it and immediately began indulging in the assortment of food. I didn’t realize that I was eating like I was homeless until the girls cleared their throats.
“Um, are you hungry?” Dani laughed with Eleanor.
“I eat when I’m nervous.” I admitted shyly.
“Don’t be nervous.” She patted the empty cushion beside her. “Come sit down.” I agreed and plopped down beside her and slumped back into the couch.
The door bursts open and the boys walked in followed by a couple security guards and some girl with purple hair. Eleanor and Dani branched off to hug their boyfriends and I walked up to Harry.
“I see you came.” Harry jokes.
“I was kind of forced when my boyfriend threatened to drag me out of my house.” I playfully glared at him.
He laughed and pulled me into a hug.
“You smell so good.” He purposely made a big deal of smelling my hair.
“Creep.”
“I’ve been called worse.”
I broke away from his warm hug but kept my arm around his waist. The girl with purple hair stepped forward and to my surprise, pulled me into a hug.
“I’m Lou, the boys’ hairstylist.” She whispered in my ear before pulling away.
We made small talk until Patty, one of the security guards who looks oddly like an older version of Liam, said that it was almost time until the show. I joined Harry in the corner and we stood there in silence just taking in each other’s presence.
“I’ll see you after the show.” He smiled.
“Maybe.” I winked.
“Come on guys.” Paul said.
The other boys, with Dani and Eleanor, walked over to us and each one gave me a hug. Louis’ hug was the longest and you could tell Harry was growing tired of his games.
“I love you,” Louis whispered in my ear making me giggle.
“What?” Harry was almost yelling. “What did he say?”
Everyone began laughing except Harry who looked enraged.
Paul interrupted Harry’s rant and basically dragged them out of the room. I take the seats next to Dani and Eleanor in front of the large television that projects the boy’s concert.
They came on the screen and even from out here, you could hear the screams, which were deafening. Their first song was Up All Night and my eyes stayed locked on Harry. The way he looked in his all black outfit did strange things to me.
“Lana, you okay?” Dani nudged my shoulder, worried laced over her face.
“Just interested.”
By the time the concert was over, it was 10:00 at night and I was exhausted. Along the way, though I don’t know how, I stumbled down to Harry’s dressing room and collapsed on the couch. I fell asleep right there, curled around the pillow, and snored loudly.
I was in deep sleep when Harry gently moved my arm in attempt to get me awake.
“Lana?”
“Mhm.” I rolled over away from him and sighed in relief.
“Do you want me to pick you up?” He asked with caution.
“Mhm.”
“Are you sure?”
“Mhm.”
He chuckled and scooped his arms under my back and legs and lifted me up. I scooted closer to his warm body and played with the hem of his shirt as he carried me through the hallways. We stopped in the room I was in earlier and I opened my eyes, squinting, to see everyone looking at me.
“Is she okay?” Liam creases his eyebrows at my sleepy appearance.
“Yeah, she just passed out. I’m going to take her back to her apartment.” Harry says.
“I can take her back if you want.” Niall smirked along with the other guys. I would join in and laugh but I could barely keep my eyes open.
“Dude.” Harry warned.
“What?”
“Just take her back and meet us back at the house. We’re going to invite some people over.” Louis said.
At this point, I was so tired that I let sleep take over me.
Harry’s POV
I fished Lana’s house keys out of her pocket and shoved them in the door, turning the lock. She was still in my arms and completely passed out. I kicked the door shut behind me and walked down the hall to her room. I laid her on the bed and frowned when I realized that she was still in her clothes. I pulled the comforter over her and another blanket on top of that one.
I turned around to leave her alone when she stirred in the bed and groaned.
“Harry?”
I stopped in my tracks and spun around.
“Yeah?”
“Where are you going?” She asked sadly.
“Back to my place. But I can stay if you want.” I’d much rather stay here than get drunk with a bunch of guys.
“Okay.” She hummed.
I grabbed the pillow beside her and turned to walk out the room again when she grabbed my arm.
“Cuddle with me.”
I hesitated. Last time we ‘cuddled’ together she was drunk and probably had no idea where we were. Now it was different. I didn’t want to take advantage of her.
“Are you sure?”
“Jesus Christ, Harry.” She groaned. “Yes I want you to cuddle with me.”
I shrugged and crawled in the bed with her, wrapping my arm around her waist and pulling her close.
“Goodnight, Lana.” I whispered in her ear before drifting off to sleep.
