Louis’ POV
“GEET UP GET UP GET UP!!!!!!” Codie was screaming at me. I swung my arm.
“Go away, I was sleeping.” I told her.
“Exactly the reason you need to get up. I left you for as long as I could, and you know its Adelaide Show time! Move your butt we’re leaving in half an hour!” she said leaving the room. Better get up then.
I grabbed the first decent clothes in the wardrobe and walked downstairs. All of the boys were ready and so was Codie. She was wearing denim shorts with a pastel purple belly shirt. Her shoes were purple and black, high-top Vans. She had a pair of Aviators on her head, ready to hide her eyes.
“Ready?” she asked me.
“As I’ll ever be.” I answered.
“Right, well you guys can go in your car and I’ll take the Ferrari, um, I’m gonna pick up the girls on the way, and, um, you guys just follow me around yeah?” she explained, kind of. “If you guys get lost then call me, you all have my number. Right, let’s go.” She grabbed her keys and waited till all of us were outside before she locked up.
“Where-eth be-eth your parents-eth today-eth?” I asked, kind of Shakespearian. Okay, not at all Shakespearian.
“Why does thou give-eth a shit?” she answered.
“Because they never seem to be here.” I told her.
“Well, they’re always at work or on surprise work trips.” She smiled weakly.
“Alright then.” I said before getting a morning kiss.
“No texting while I’m driving, or you will be paying the fines, and if I crash the car, you’ll be paying for the fixing of it and me.” She explained to me.
“Gotcha. See you soon.” I said before getting into the car.
“Goodbye for now.” She responded. I watched her as she got her car and drove off, I didn’t even realise that Liam had started driving until we stopped. Codie picked up Elysse first, then Clarisse, then Jamie and Amelie. Then we stopped at what I hoped was the Adelaide Showgrounds.
“Hello again.” I said to Codie.
“Hi.” I heard her say back.
“Morning love.” Liam said to Clarisse.
“Morning.” Was her response.
“Jamie!” Zayn said in a weird tone.
“Zayn?” she kind of asked back.
Harry and Amelie didn’t say anything, they were having a passionate moment on Codie’s car. I’ll tell you one thing, that isn’t going to end well.
“You two get off of my car!” Codie started off nicely. When they didn’t move, she scrapped that approach.
“GET OFF MY F*CKING CAR OR YOU WON’T GET ANY SHOWBAGS OR GO ON ANY BLOODY RIDES!!!” she shouted.
“What? Were we on your car? Oh, whoops.” Amelie said before walking to the entrance. Codie was just standing there shaking her head.
“C’mon Codie, we’re going in now.” I said pulling her arm.
“Sunnies.” She said pulling my sunnies down for me. That was when I spotted something weird on her wrists.
“What’s this Codie?” I said grabbing her arm and pointing to the scars.
“Yeah, I did some cutting. I haven’t done it in years. Everything will be fine, obviously I forgot to put concealer on them this morning. Like you said, we’re going now.” Codie said, changing the subject. She stated walking to the entrance.
“Codie, why didn’t you tell me?” I asked her.
“Because I didn’t feel like it was a need to know thing, like what I was telling you about yesterday.” She said.
“Codie, how many more secrets do you have?” I asked her.
“Not many. You’ll find them all out before you die, don’t worry.” She said, turning away and continuing on walking. I sighed to myself and ran to catch up with her and the others.
***
We went around the entire grounds. Went on all the rides. Got the best food, tried all of the sideshows and gone through the show bag hall. By the time we finished, we ended up at the oval. To sit there for 2 hours, watching what was going on. Codie had taken us to the grass, not the seats, I don’t know why.
“It’s almost time!” Elysse said jumping up and down with Codie. They were dancing to a song in their heads.
“Time for what?” Liam asked, lying on the ground next to Clarisse.
“You’ll find out.” Clarisse said.
“We have the best view here.” Codie said sitting down next to me.
“Best view for what?” I asked her.
“You’ll find out.” She said.
“Any minute now.” Jamie said.
“This year has got to be the best.” Clarisse said. I feel like Amelie should be saying something here... oh wait, she and Harry were a little busy.
“Do they ever just talk or…” Jamie didn’t exactly finish because someone started announcing something over the speakers.
“Yes.” Codie dragged me up to the fence. “You ready?” she asked me.
“I sure hope so.” I said. Elysse had her phone pointed in our direction.
“She’s not going to video us, to video what’s going to happen here.” Codie explained to me.
“Hey, is the smoke gonna come this direction?” Elysse asked.
“No, there’s no wind, it should go straight up.” Codie said taking off her sunnies.
“Can I take my sunnies off?” I asked her.
“Yes. No one is going to focus on who you are. There’s basically no one here at this moment, you can take them off.” She said.
“Great.” I said. The glasses were now sitting on the top of my head. Then I was scared shitless by a loud bang and colourful lights. Of course, fireworks. Green lights were flashing around, lasers. Codie watched in awe, she must love this stuff. I wasn’t watching the fireworks or the lasers, I was watching her. She turned to face me, I pushed the hair out of the way of her face.
We got closer until we connected, when we kissed literal fireworks exploded behind us. We kept moving together, in sync, repeatedly.
“Move out the way you two!” Niall shouted at us. I would have given him the finger but I’m fairly sure Codie was already on the job. When we finished there was a little bit of the fireworks left, and Codie watched the rest of them in one of my hugs. I've haven’t seen her happier than right then, watching the colours and the lights. What made her so happy to see them?
“I got cute pics of you two.” Elysse said, holding her phone screen to us. It had a picture of Codie and I kissing in front of a perfectly timed firework.
“How many did you get?” I asked her.
“A fair few. You were together for so long, and the fireworks went from the entire time, so, yeah.” Elysse told me.
“Could you send me some?” Codie asked.
“I’ll send you the best ones, with you kissing and without.” Elysse explained.
“Alright, you guys can go to the car. I’ll catch up.” Codie said.
“I’m going with you.” I said.
“Now is the best time for the sideshows. No one is ever there right now. I always go there to try and win a massive toy.” She said as she walked to one of the sideshows. She chose the laughing clowns, let me tell you, they are so creepy at night.
“Has it ever worked?” I asked her.
“Nope.” She said handing the person the money and getting her shot. She had put all of the balls on and was on her last one. If she got it in the right tube thing, she would get the massive toy. Oh, this is not a good time to sneeze, hold it in Lou, you can hold it. Okay, I cannot hold it.
*massive ass sneeze*
“Louis, I will kill you.” She said punching my arm as hard as she could.
“Sorry babes.” I said. She grabbed her small, dog toy and started walking off.
“Sure you’re sorry.” She said putting her hand around my waist. I wasn’t sure if it was sarcastic or not.
“Of course I am.” I said putting my arm over her shoulders and kissing the top of her head.
Codie’s POV
Here I am, sitting on the bonnet of my car, Jamie Whincup on his. Sunday, I was in my suit ready to kick his arse. Louis had gone off somewhere in the show, doing god knows what, and the rest of my friends were busy…
Sleeping.
I was over-ruled by flipping sleep. That was my biggest disappointment today, the only back-up I had was Louis. As if on cue I got a text from him.
From; ‘Love’:
I have a surprise for you at the Ferrari. Catch ya in a minute :P
I smiled to myself and laughed on the inside. He could be such a dag, but now I needed to know what the surprise was. The quicker this was over with, the quicker I could find out.
“Ready to be beaten?” Whincup said.
“If by beaten you mean ‘kick Jamie Whincup’s arse’ then yes.” I told him.
“That isn’t going to happen.” He said in a cocky tone.
“Bloody dick-head.” I whispered to myself. I waited for the person to call us over the speaker while ignoring Jamie’s ranting, then Louis turned up in a pair of completely black Aviators and alright looking clothes.
“How you doin’ baby?” he asked me, as I pulled him into a hug.
“Can I kill him?” I said so only he could hear.
“No babe.” He said, sounding close to laughing.
“Not even accidentally?” I asked him. I looked into his eyes.
“Nope.” He shook his head.
“Pretty please?” I continued.
“Codie, no. I’ve already told you two times. Maybe later, but at the moment you have to kick his arse.” he reasoned with me.
“So I can later?” I asked him, to make sure.
“If you have a very thought out plan that will work, and you won’t get caught, you can give it a shot.” He said seriously.
“Well I do have a plan…” I trailed off after hearing something from the loudspeakers. I think it was someone else being called to the oval, we weren’t on or another half an hour, I just have nothing to do so I was standing here, waiting, sweating my arse off in my driving suit. Oh, I was also wondering how much longer I could stand Jamie before I punched him in the face. “What is this surprise anyway?” I asked Louis while sitting down on the front of my car, he then sat next to me.
“If I told you, it wouldn’t be a surprise would it?” he answered my question with a question.
“Damn, I was hoping you would fall for that one.” I told him.
“I’m not that stupid, I may look like it, but I’m not.” He said to me.
“You wanna bet?” I raised my eyebrow at him.
“Hey!” he paused for a minute. “No, I don't.” he told me covering his eyes and pretending to cry. He rested his head on my chest, acting like a five year. I started stroking his hair.
“Shh, it’s okay baby, don't cry. I don't care about your IQ level, only about your sense of humour because of that IQ level.” I tried comforting him.
“Is that supposed to be a compliment or is it supposed to make me feel like shit?” he asked me, quitting the fake crying but not moving from his position.
“A bit of both I think.”
