Finding love from a broken heart
Dangerous Territory
Keilas POV:
As we enter into the main sitting room of the hotel suite, I can already hear my best friend starting to telling her entire life story to a very willing audience. The four boys look completely mesmerized by her.
Harry leads me to the bar stools on the far side of the room connecting with the kitchen.
I smile and try to look like I’m listening to Kels, but my mind keeps wondering back to Harry.
How could one person look so fucking perfect. Those intense yet soft green eyes, his messy perfect curls, and god those dimples that could make any girl fall in love right then and there. Wait a second! I hardly even know this guy! I shouldn’t be getting so wrapped up in one guy that probably just thinks I’m some crazy fan girl! This is dangerous territory I’m in here. I can feel my mind screaming to run as fast as humanly possible in the opposite direction of Harry, but my heart is saying to run to him, leaving me completely petrified standing in the middle.
My thoughts are interrupted by someone saying my name.
“Keila??”
I look up to see 6 faces looking at me questioningly. Then Kelsey speaks again.
“Keila? Are you alright?”
“Oh, umm, yeah! Im uhh totally okay, I was just thinking that all” I say giving them a what I hope to be a reassuring smile.
Then Kels starts talking again. Telling them how we live just outside the city, how we both took a year off of school to try and pursue our dreams. Kels wants to be a fashion designer and me, well I secretly dream about being a successful singer, dancer, and actress but I don’t really tell people that because I know it’s a long shot, and I’m probably not going to make it anyways.
As I’m pretending to laugh at something Kels said trying to distract myself from how nervous being around Harry Styles makes me, I feel someone whisper something in my ear. I’m so surprised by the sudden contact, that I inhale a sharp intake of breath and some how manage to fall off my stool.
Harry’s POV:
We are all listening to Keila’s friend Kelsey talk about her life and her school and her dreams. However, I’m more interested in this quiet dark haired girl sitting beside me.
I sneak a few glances in her direction, and see her staring at the ground with the smallest hint of a smile playing on her lips.
I got this weird nervous feeling in the pit of my stomach. What? Me nervous? I’m suppose to be the smooth talking ladies man of the group! At least that’s what management tells me I have to be, to enhance the groups’ image. I know I’m nothing like that, but I do as im told since it’s the fate of the entire band and not just mine.
I glance back over at Keila and her small smile is gone, and she looks almost scared or upset.
I get kind of worried about her and make eye contact with Kelsey. I shoot her my best worried look, while gesturing to Keila.
She gets the message and stops mid story and asks Keila if shes alright.
No answer.
Asks again, and Keila glances up looking confused. She realizes what was happening and quickly responds smiling.
FAKE. I could totally tell she was lying, but Kelsey seems to believe her and continues with her story. Damn that girl could talk a lot, but the other boys don’t seem to mind.
I started thinking and I got a great idea that I should show her the roof! It was a great view and we could actually talk in private! Perfect!
I lean over and whisper “Want to go see the roof?”
Apparently she was in pretty deep thought because as soon as I started talking she flew off the bar stool and took a nose dive straight to the ground.
SHIT. NICE GOING STYLES. VERY SMOOTH.
A few moments passed and we were all in complete silence. Until a faint sound started coming from the girl lying on the ground.
Holy fuck shes crying, its over. I just blew it…no wait, its laughter! Shes laughing! Maybe I haven’t ruined my chances with her after all.
KEILAS POV:
I hit the ground with a loud “thump”.
My brain starts going into over drive. What the fuck just happened? Of course this would happen to me. Am I injured? And then all of a sudden I just started cracking up.
I started laughing and I couldn’t stop. I look up through the tears of laughter forming in my eyes, and see a gorgeous pair a bright green eyes looking at me with a hint of amusement in them. Harry then helped me up and apologized for scaring me.
I just shook my head, and tried to tell him it was totally my fault while I tried to calm down.
“Wow Keila! You are really the most uncoordinated dancer ever!”
I try and shoot Kels the meanest glare I can make but since im laughing still, it comes out looking like im trying to take a shit, sending everyone else in the room into a fit of giggles.
After we all calm down, Liam suggested something that sent Kels into over drive fan girl mode.
“Hey, why don’t you and Kelsey come to our concert tomorrow night? We can give you front row tickets and backstage passes so we can all hang out after?!”
WRONG MOVE PAYNE. WRONG MOVE.
Kelsey starts screaming. No words, nothing. Just the loudest highest pitch sound I have ever heard.
I sprung into action, grabbing her by the arm and dragging her out into the hall while calling over my shoulder “Give us a minute”.
Once in the hotel hallway, I managed to silence the scream, and calm her down.
“Breathe Kels. Breathe. Its good for you, I promise”
“I am, im good. Minor freak out, sorry. But I can’t believe that we are going to a One Direction concert with front row tickets! AND we are totally going to be best fucking friends with them too!”
“Not if you don’t calm down! And who said we were going in the first place?”
“COME ON KEILA! We have to go! Tell me you wouldn’t want to spend time with people in the music business? And spend a little alone time with a very handsome Harold Styles?”
“You have a point….about the first part not the second! But okay I guess we can go. But only if you put a stop to the dog whistle! Deal?”
“DEAL!” she screamed while tackling me to the floor.
We both walked back into the suite, and told the boys we would go.
Then they all got excited and told us that the tickets wouldn’t be here for a while so we should just hang out here for a while.
We decided we should watch a movie to pass the time, and we all settled on The Hunger Games.
I was just about to sit down on the couch next to Kels, when Harry pulled me to the side and asked me if I wanted to go see the roof.
I wanted to. I really really wanted too. But I also knew that Harry was dangerous for me. I looked over at Kels who was already cuddled up with Niall and eating popcorn. Then I remember something I had said earlier…
"I know and i'm ready to let go of my stresses for a while!"
And I really was…
And so I accepted Harrys invitation with a warm smile and left the others back on the sofa, following this curly haired boy to the roof.
