One Little Tweet

Chapter 10:

"Yes?" I say as I enter the living room.

"Beth would like to apologize," my dad says. I nod and look at Beth who is sitting on the love seat pouting.

"I'm sorry," she spits out at me. I nod quietly without talking. "For you ever being born!" She yells at the last minute. I look down with tears in my eyes.

"I-I'm just gonna go to my room," I whisper before running to my room and dropping on the bed crying. Then I receive a text from an unknown number.

(U=Unknown, A=Alice)

U: Hello beautiful, how are you doing?

A: Who is this?

U: Your secret admirer.

A: What's your name?

U: I guess you'll have to find out.

(End of texts!)

Who the heck is this guy? How did they find out my number? They could at least tell me their name, plus they texted from a blocked number.

With these questions in mind I fell into a dreamless sleep.

******The Next Morning******

"Alice, pick up your phone!" Somebody yells from my door. I quickly open my eyes and see Beth standing there.

"Alright!" I say and grab it answering it.

"Hello?" I say into the phone sleepily.

"Hey, did I wake you?" Harry asked.

"No, umm, no offense but why are you calling?" I said, sitting up rubbing my eyes.

"Liam's to embarrassed to ask you to come over for a movie day." He said. In the background I hear someone yelling at Harry. Although I can't tell what they are saying.

"Well, for 1, I have no clue where you guys live. For 2, I don't have a car to get to you, and for 3, it's 7 in the morning!" I say into the receiver.

"Well yeah, we could send someone to pick you up?" He said, then I hear him whisper to someone in the background. "I think I woke her up!"

"I don't know, I wouldn't feel comfortable-" I start but he cuts me off.

"Why wouldn't you feel comfortable with us?" He says.

"I would with you guys, if you would have let me finish. I was saying, I wouldn't be comfortable in a car with someone I don't know." I say and laugh a little.

"Oh," he says quietly. Then whispers to someone. "Louis, what do we do?" Although, I don't hear anything back.

"Liam could pick you up!" Harry says quickly.

"Does Liam even know you're calling me about this?" I ask with a small smile.

"Of course! Why would we, I mean I, call if he didn't?" Harry said nervously.

"Alright, I'll be ready for him to pick me up in a hour." I said with a devious smile.

"Okay, just text us the address!" He says excitedly.

"Alright, bye!" I say hanging up. I quickly text the address and called Liam.

"Hello?" Liam answered breathing heavily.

"Hey, um did you know Harry was setting up a movie day for everyone?" I said.

"Umm, no. He never said anything." He said.

"Well he said your picking me up and you were to embarrassed to invite me." I said giggling.

"No it wasn't my idea, but I'll come pick you up. Plus I wouldn't be embarrassed to invite you." He answers and I hear the smile in his voice.

"Alright, I'll see you in about an hour?" I ask.

"Yeah, I just have to shower and change." He answers.

"Were you working out?" I ask quietly. I hear him chuckle and feel my cheeks heat up.

"Yes I was, I'll see you in an hour." He says.

"Bye Liam!" I say.

"Bye Alice!" He says and hangs up. I quickly drop my phone on the bed and run to my bag grabbing a pair of faded jeans and a light pink tank top that is longer in the back. Quickly I rush into the bathroom and shower.

After a good 15 minute shower I hop out and get dressed.

"Make-up, make-up," I mumble searching through my bag for my make-up bag. I finally find it and rush back to the bathroom.

Quickly but carefully I put on a light pink eyeshadow and foundation. I look in the mirror and am happy with what I see.
