We accept the love we think we deserve.
Erin
What was I going to wear? I really wanted to impress Harry, but I didn’t want to dress up too much. I tried on a flowy dress, then decided to go with a sparkly top and dark jeans. I curled my hair and prayed that it would stay.
Harry would be here any minute. I waited patiently and tried not to act too excited that he was coming over. I hope that he doesn’t mind the mess in my house. Oh, god. There was a knock on the door. Oh god.
“Hey Harry!” I said, opening the door. He looked really nice as usual and he seemed glad to see me.
“Hi!” He said. “Wow, I feel like I haven’t seen you in ages.”
I laughed and rolled my eyes.
“You ready to go?” He asked. I nodded my head and stepped out the door. I made sure that I had my house keys and my cell phone before I got into Harry’s car. It was a really nice car.
Harry got into the driver side and frowned. “You didn’t let me open the door for you.”
I blushed a little, and said, “Next time.” He smiled.
“Okay....so first we should go get Niall....because he’s closer to here, I think...and that can give Sheila more time to get ready. Then we can go pick up Sheila, and then go to Leah’s house.”
I thought it was sweet that Harry was picking up Sheila last so she had more time to get ready. Lord knows that she would need it. Even if Niall was closer to pick up. I felt a little awkward in the silence, so I reached over and turned on the radio. The Kiss station was on, and I think a Taylor Swift song was playing. Her song 22. It was kind of ironic, since we were all going to a party. I wanted to sing along really badly, but Harry was there, and I didn’t want to embarrass myself. I couldn’t sing at all. But I still wanted to.
It feels like a perfect night to dress up like hipsters
And make fun of our exes, uh uh uh uh
It feels like a perfect night for breakfast at midnight
To fall in love with strangers uh uh uh uh
Yeaaaah
We're happy free confused and lonely at the same time
It's miserable and magical oh yeah
Tonight's the night when we forget about the deadlines, it's time uh uh
Harry was bobbing his head, both of his hands tightly on the wheel. He was singing the song softly to himself. The he looked at me, and I looked away, because I was starting to stare at him. Whoops.
I don't know about you but im feeling 22
Everything will be alright if you keep me next to you
You don't know about me but I bet you want to
Everything will be alright if we just keep dancing like we're 22, 22
“Don’t you like this song?” He asked. I nodded. “Why won’t you sing along? Come on, don’t leave me singing like a weirdo by myself.”
It seems like one of those nights
This place is too crowded too many cool kids
It seems like one of those nights
We ditch the whole scene and end up dreaming instead of sleeping
Yeaaaah
We're happy free confused and lonely in the best way
It's miserable and magical oh yeah
Tonight's the night when we forget about the heartbreaks, it's time uh uh
I laughed, and just as the chorus came on, I started to belt out all sorts of wrong notes.
I don't know about you but im feeling 22
Everything will be alright if you keep me next to you
You don't know about me but I bet you want to
Everything will be alright if we just keep dancing like we're 22, 22
Harry was taken by surprise and laughed like an insane person. I laughed too and we sang along to the song together. And we sang it badly. I swear, we could’ve made people’s ears bleed with that noise. I even did a little dance in my seat. Harry was enjoying himself too, doing his own sort of dance with the steering wheel locked in his iron grip. At the end of the song, I threw back my head and was laughing so hard, I couldn’t catch my breath. Harry was shaking with laughter at my horrible singing, and I even saw a tear slip down his face.
“Well, that was...interesting.” Harry said, still laughing. My laughter died down a bit, and I started to feel really relaxed with Harry. He was fun to be around. No wonder why Loren and him were such good friends.
Soon we got to Niall’s house. He came out in a light blue shirt, dark jeans, white high-tops, and his hair was flipped up. He did a sort of jog into the car.
“Hiya Harry! Hi Erin, you look lovely.” Niall said, smiling at me. I smiled back and said hi.
“Thank you.” I said. I liked his accent.
“Okey dokey, now off to Sheila’s house.” Harry said.
I chatted with Niall until we got to Sheila's house. He was really nice.
Sheila bounded over to the car in a tight black dress and silver heels. She looked stunning as usual. Liam followed closely behind, in a nice plaid shirt, black colored pants, and one star shoes.
When he got in, I said, “Hey, fuzzy head.” Liam self-consciously rubbed his buzzed hair. Harry grinned and Niall laughed like it was the most hilarious joke in the world. He teased Liam a lot after that. Sheila just rolled her eyes.
“Stop making fun of my boyfriend.” She said, but I knew that she and Liam didn’t really mind or care.
“Okay, now we go to Leah’s and then to the party!” Harry exclaimed. We all cheered.
