The New Publicist
The Lights Go Off (part two)
Ali’s prov
Not wanting to annoy Niall while he was driving, I left him alone, put my headphones in, and leaned my head against the window. I started humming along to “Green light” by 5SOS but got interrupted by Harry tapping on my shoulder. I took the headphones out and turned to him.
“What is it Harry?”
“Are you ready for this tour? Like are you sure you want to leave LA for about six months and come and travel with us?” he asked.
“Harry, I knew the commitment I made when I accepted this job. And during the hospital while I was unconscious I had a . . . I guess you could say a vision . . . that showed me that I needed to wake up and go on this tour because something major is going to happen” I replied looking at his eyes.
“Do you have a sense of what that thing is?”
“Not a clue but I hope it’s good” I smiled and turned back around in my seat. Niall grabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze. Another 10 minutes passed and Niall finally parked the car.
“Here we are” he said ecstatically. The four of us got out of the car and met on the driver’s side. Niall took my hand in his and led Hanna, Harry, and I down the path to wherever we were going. As we kept walking I began to remember seeing some of this scenery before. I looked back at Hanna and she mouthed the name of a park that was my favorite. I mouthed back saying that I thought the same thing. She nodded back at me and I asked Niall.
“Niall, where exactly are we?”
“We are at Gillmore’s Park on the west-end of LA” he said smiling at me. “I knew it was your favorite park so I wanted to surprise you before we left for tour”
“You’re the best. You know that right?” I responded ruffling his hair.
“I know” he spoke doing a ‘hair flip’. I hit his arm and he pulled me closer into his side. After we walked down to a spot under a tree we finally began to eat.
“Finally. I was beginning to think that I was never to eat again” Harry spoke talking a bite of pizza. We all laughed and then shoved our own pieces of pizza into our faces. It wasn’t long until the pizza was finished and we were all lying on our backs staring as the sun was setting.
“The sun is so pretty when it sets. The way the clouds look, all the different colors mixing together like that” Hanna said as she sat up. She glanced at her watch and gasped at what time it was. “I need to get back to the apartment soon so I won’t miss my flight”
“What flight?” Niall and I said in unison.
“I didn’t know how to tell you guys, especially you Ali, but my grandma died a few days ago and I have to fly out to Michigan and settle the will” she said while the tears began to come. She covered her face with her hands and tried to stop crying. Harry wrapped his arms round her and lifted Hanna into his lap. Hanna began to sob harder and I looked at Niall. Without hesitation I went over to her and I instantly began crying.
“Hann, why didn’t you tell me sooner? You knew I could’ve handled it” I asked though the sobs.
“Because I-I didn’t know how yo-o-ou would respond” she managed to say. Not knowing how to respond I just tightened my hug and didn’t let her go. Minutes passed and the two of us finally calmed down and were able to finish our conversation. “Can we go home now? I need to pack” Hanna said wiping her eyes from the mascara. We all agreed and headed back to the car. Harry and Hanna made it back to the car first and he was hugging her and rubbing her back. I was about to walk up the first and final step when Niall grabbed my arm. He pulled me into a hug and his grip grew tighter and tighter.
“Ni, I cant . . . cant breathe” I gasped out. Automatically his grip loosened and I looked up at his blue eyes and couldn’t help but smile. And before I knew it Niall’s lips were crashed on top of mine and the fireworks were going off. Niall pulled back after the kiss ended and just looked at me.
“Wow . . . that was just woah” he said. I nodded in response and a smile crept across my face.
“Did you feel it?” I asked looking down.
“Look at me love” he spoke lifting up my face to his, “I sure felt something. It felt that I was
kissing the girl of my dreams and all the fireworks went off at once” I smiled at what he said and he smiled back. We walked hand in hand back to the car and saw Hanna and Harry just standing there hugging.
Ali—So Niall just kissed me ^_^
Hanna—WHAAAA?!?!?
Ali-- :)
Before we were even at the car Hanna came running up and hugging me. While we were hugging I saw Harry give Niall a thumbs up. We all climbed back into the car and Harry took the wheel. “So where to guys? Back to the apartment or wanna go see a movie?”
“I’m up for anything” I said scooting closer to Niall.
“Okay then. You guys will just have to see” Harry responded while starting up the car. I soon fell asleep on Niall’s shoulder and didn’t wake up until we made it to our destination.
“Wake up princess, we’re home” Niall said poking my face. I poked him back and unbuckled my seatbelt. Hanna and Harry waited for us at the front doors so we all could walk in together. As we got into the elevator and Harry pushed the button the lights flickered. “That’s weird” Niall muttered. I grabbed his hand in case the worst could happen and Hanna grabbed Harry’s. The elevator started moving then suddenly the lights went off and the elevator jolted to a halt.
“Is everybody okay?” Hanna asked taking out her phone to turn the flashlight on. We all muttered a yes and shone our phones.
“I wonder what happened. It wasn’t storming or anything” I spoke looking around at the others.
“Maybe this is a prank or something” Harry said.
“Yeah sure. A great prank mate” Niall grumbled back at him.
“There’s no reason to start getting mad at each other” I said trying to calm the tension that was rising, “We all just need to stay calm and figure this out” Niall backed off from Harry and sank to the ground. I sat down next to him
“Ali’s right. We all just need to calm down” Hanna said. Harry sighed and leaned against the wall and his turned his back on us. After about 10 minutes of silence I heard something creak.
“Did anybody else hear that?” I asked breaking the silence.
“Maybe the elevator is starting to work again” Hanna said trying to reassure us.
“Maybe or maybe not” Harry grumbled.
“Gosh Harry why are you all made now! You just need to calm down” Hanna yelled at him. By the sight of Hanna’s face, I knew this wasn’t going to be good.
“Calm down? How am I suppose to be calm when I’m stuck in an elevator for a good half hour now and MY tour for MY band is in three days AND my girlfriend has to leave TOMORROW for a stupid flight to go to Michigan. Please Hanna tell me how I can be clam now?” he screamed back to her. I was about to say something when Niall shook his head not to. Just then Hanna slapped him across the face.
“You know what Mr. Styles, I’m not even going to come on this tour anymore if that’s what you want”
“Fine with me. Go right ahead” he said flailing his arms in the air.
“Good”
“Great” and with that the conversation was over and done with. Hanna sat don on the other side of Niall and turned to face the elevator’s side. Another 20 minutes passed and the elevator’s lights came back on and we started moving again. The doors opened at our floor and Hanna stormed out and headed down the hallway. Niall and I kept our distance in case she would go into a frenzy.
“You coming Harry?” Niall asked looking back at him.
“No, I’m going back to the hotel” he grunted while hitting the lobby button. The doors closed nd
he was gone.
“This should be an interesting evening” Niall said as he opened the door.
“You’re right about that”
