Something In The Way You Move
Seeing your face
As I walked down the sidewalk from Starbucks I tried to hide my face. I wasn't in my best apparel. I wore black leggings and a Beatles t-shirt, along with my Birkenstocks and a messy bun. I used my sunglasses as a shield to hide my makeup free face.
It was just one of those Saturdays that I was to lazy to get dressed for. My apartment had absolutely no caffeine in it so I decided that I would go out, I mean what was the likely mess I would see someone I knew?
After getting my Latte and coffee cake I made my way down the sidewalk with my hands full. I hel my wallet and lanyard with my keys and phone in one hand, my Starbucks in the other, an I had my purse draped over my shoulder. I admired the sunshine as I walked. Then with a thud I felt a body collide with mine. I then dropped everything onto the sidewalk.
"Watch it!" I man yelled at me as I dropped everything. He kept walking. I managed to save my coffee, or so I thought. My coffee slid out from under my arm as i bent down to pick everything up, and hit the ground splashing everywhere.
"For the love of Christ!" I yelled as I looked down at my latte splattered legs and feet. I picked up my phone and keys which were also latte covered and put them on the caffe table next to me. Everyone just kept walking passed me and giving me dirty looks.
I bent over to grab my purse when someone bent over and grabbed it before I could. My first instinct was that this person was trying to steal it. But then the held it out to me.
"Here you go love." The man said.
Still crouching on the ground I stood up to take my purse. My eyes met the
Persons.
"Liam?" I said surprised. It was liam, my brothers bandmate. He stared at me confused. I removed my sunglasses revealing my makeup-less face. Then it hit him!
"Wrenna?" He said cracking a smile,"what are you doing here?"
"What are you doing here is the real question." I laughed.
"Louis didn't tell you?" He said furrowing his brows.
"Tell me what?" I asked back confused.
"He seriously didn't tell you we are going to be here for 3 months for work!" Liam said surprised.
"No, I guess we just haven't talked in a while." To tell the truth I was kinda hurt that Louis didn't tell me. Before he became famous we were like best friends. I still remember him saying 'No matter what, ill always be there for you little sis'.
Not so much anymore.
After Liam helped me clean up the mess on the sidewalk, we began talking again. We sat at a table as I wiped the coffee of my legs.
"Do you want me to call Lou and tell him I just ran into you?" He asked.
"Uh, I'm sure he is busy. Maybe I'll call him later." I was almost mad at Lou for not telling me. We never got to see each other and he wouldn't make an attempt. He would shut me down when I tried.
"I'm actually grabbing coffee for everyone and we aren't busy until Monday. Please come over, Louis misses you." Liam asked me.
"I don't wanna be an annoying little sister and intrude." I said.
"The boys would love to see you! We all miss you." He smiled.
"Liam, me and Lou haven't seen... Well we don't really get along, I just- I wanna call him before I show up and spring it on him."
"Wren." He paused,"we all know you and Lou are a little off right now, but you can work it out. Harry misses you."
His last sentence reminded me of why me and Louis weren't talking in the first place. Harry and I had gotten really close after a while. Lou and Harry are best friends, so it was hard for Louis to see me spending more time with his best friend than him. Harry and I eventually became a thing, and Lou was convinced that I was with Harry for the fame. I still remember our conversation.
*Flashback*
"So you two are together?" Louis asked flopping a magazine on the table. He seemed emotionless.
"Yeah, it's official." I smiled.
"So your happy about all of this?" He asked me angrily. I was oblivious as to why he was angry.
"What do you mean?"
"Oh dot okay stupid Wren!" He snapped."You love the attention."
"Lou, I like Harry, why would you say that?" I said hurt.
"Don't pretend that you don't love seeing your own face on every magazine. You know Wrenna, I thought I knew you pretty damn well. Guess not. You never liked hanging out with me this much before I wa famous. But now there's cameras, so I guess it makes sense. First you use me to get the press, then Harry, my best friend!"
"Louis! What the hell are you talking about? I didn't use anyone. Your my god damn brother and you think I visit you all the time just for attention. What the hell is the matter with you?" I said teary eyed.
"I am tired of you getting in between my band. Leave." He said bitterly.
"No. You can't make me leave." I said angrily.
"For fucks sake! Leave." He snapped at me. It scared me to see him this way. I didn't know why he was so upset. He had no right to think anything he was saying was true.
"What did I do Lou?" I asked now crying and angry. My voice was clam but then I couldn't hold it in."what the fuck did I do! Is something making you mad so now you have to take it out on me? I don't get it. You really think I'm such a horrible person?" I sobbed.
Louis scoffed."I know it's you." He said simply.
"What's me?" I asked.
"Your leaking every dirty detail about us aren't you!" He said looking at me disgusted.
"Lou, I would never-"
"Your such an attention whore." He yelled at me.
That was it. I didn't care anymore. I slapped him so hard my hand was throbbing. Tears pored down my face as I ran out of the flat.
Not only did this partially ruin me and my own brothers relationship, but me and Harry's too.
*End of Flashback*
"I can't." I said simply.
"Wrenna, I swear I will drag you there. And I thought you two were good now!" Liam said sternly.
"We are- its just....I don't know!" I said getting a tiny bit teary eyed.
Liam's voice got calm and soothing."Wren, please come. You will never know until you try."
I stood staring at the ground. Maybe he was right.
"Fine, but if they all want to kill me, its your fault for bringing me."
"They won't wanna kill you. They'll be happy." He said.
We went into Starbucks an got coffee of everyone. I also got a new one. We began to walk to their apartment they would be staying in. Liam said It was a good 4 blocks away. We began to walk in silence.
"How long has it been since you last saw Louis?" Liam asked curiously, breaking the silence.
"Uh, about like 7 months." I stated.
"But he's seen the rest of your family and not you?"
"Yeah, he only goes home to visit and in stick here for college so it's been a while."
"When's the last time he called?"
"He-uh, he doesn't call, I calm him. But he doesn't usually answer or doesn't have time to talk. So I gave up calling." I said sadly. "But like a month I guess."
"Some brother he is." Liam scoffed. He smiled at me trying to make me happy.
"Well every time we talked I felt like I was bugging him or wasting his time. He said we were okay, but we arent and he doesn't treat me the same, if you know what I mean."
"Yeah, I do." He said plainly.
After a while of walking in silence, I decided we should talk about something happy.
"How is Danielle?" I asked him.
"She's good." He smiled,"it sucks that I'm going to have to be away from her for 3 months, but she is gonna come visit. I'm sure she will wanna see you when she comes." He said happily.
Me and the Boys sisters and Girlfriends all go along well. We had all hung out at a few family gathering things. When all the boys families came to London to visit them, all the girls went shopping and we all became pretty close since then.
"That would be nice. I miss everyone so much, you have no idea!"
" El never stops bugging Louis about you either!" He chuckled.
"I miss El." I pouted.
We walked for a moment until we entered a building. We came to the elevator. After the elevator ride we walked down a hall and came to their door.
"Liam, what am I supposed to do and say." I said nervously.
"What do you mean? I'm just gonna say 'Louis, I ran into you sister and she is here!' And then I'll tell him he sucks for being such a bad brother." He smiled.
"Like that'll go well." I chuckled.
"He's your brother, just go with it!" He laughed. then he opened the door.
"I have coffee." He yelled a we walked through the door. I followed behind him as we made our way to the kitchen. We set down the cups on the table. I hear the boys all coming out of the tv room. I flashed Liam a worried look but he smiled at me.
Then Harry and Niall walked in. they stopped and looked at me confused. Harry's face was almost horrified.
Then came Zayn and Louis. They couldn't see me because Niall an Harry were in the way.
"Move it lads, I want my coffee." I heard Louis' familiar voice. He then pushed his way between Niall and Harry, who still looked confused an wouldn't move. Louis was then in plane sight and joined in the silence.
He looked at me confused. I smiled nervously at him.
"Wrenna?" He said breaking the silence.
