Radioactive
Senior Year
I wiped my eyes and started pacing back and forth. A couple minutes later the door slammed shut. I ran downstairs seeing Harry and Ryan yelling at each other, "Where is she, you tool." Harry raged. "In her room, I hope you know that you're a prick and a womanizer Harry. She would be stupid trying to even like you." Ryan yelled. I took a step and Lauren saw me, she smiled and then whispered to Harry. He quickly looked up and grinned, “Cayla.” I ran down to him and hugged him. He picked me up and twirled me around. “I’m so sorry Harry. My uncle told me to stay away and to be with Ryan. I am so sorry.” I apologized. “It’s ok, I understand. Are we cool?” He asked setting me down. “Totally.” I laughed. Everyone started walking in and stopped with mouths open, seeing me and Harry laughing. “Cayla your uncle wants to see you...” Lauren whispered in my ear. I turned around and walked to his office, what does he want? It’s the last day in Hawaii; he can’t do this to me. I open up the door and found him sitting on his black chair. “Yes uncle, you wanted to see me?” I peeped out. “I just wanted to say good bye to my niece before she leaves tomorrow morning. I hope you had fun.” He said. “I had tons of fun thanks uncles Si!” I ran up to him and hugged him. “Have fun on your flight tomorrow Cayla.” “I will!” I said in a cheerful voice and walked back downstairs for dinner.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Oh my gosh, you guys im going to miss you two!” Perrie said. We all had a moment of silence at the table until Lauren piped up, “For our vacation after senior year… maybe we can go to London sometime…” “THAT WOULD BE GREAT!” Niall exclaimed staring at Lauren. She made no eye contact, “Mhmm yeah.” She spoke flatly. Niall shifted and looked back down to his plate and quietly ate. I wish they just made up, they were so cute and funny together, and they can’t do this to each other. “Ermm, a toast, for our two new best friends.” Liam toasted. “Awh shucks, you guys!” I said hiding my face behind Harry. “So girls, what are you two excited for next year?” Eleanor asked. “PROM!” We both squealed in excitement at the same time. Everyone laughed, “Well your date has to get MY permission.” Harry teased. “Oh shut up Hazz.” I playfully punched him. “Oh em gee, you have to call me and El so we can go down and go prom dress shopping with you two!” Perrie fangirled. “Haha ok!” Lauren laughed. “Well guys I will see all of you tomorrow, I’m going to bed! Night.” Lauren got up and left, Niall jumped up and ran after her. “Go Niall!” Harry yelled.
*Lauren’s P.O.V.*
I get up from the table and tiredly walk towards the stairs. “Lauren, wait.” A familiar voice hollered after me. I turned around slowly to find Niall, “Niall, I will see you tomorrow.” I muttered, turning back around walking up the stairs.
“Lauren, I know what I did was wrong. But I didn’t know it would have offended you this bad, or I wouldn’t have done it. I went too far, I can’t let you hate me. Lauren please, I see you and Harry talk like how we used too. It’s killing me inside, I miss this Lauren. Give me another chance.” He said chasing after me.
I just can’t let a guy in; I haven’t been in a relationship since beginning of high school year. Yes, I would defiantly forgive you Niall; I don’t know what is stopping me. I’m not ready to go back to our friendship… Because if we talk more, I might fall for him, and that can’t happen, besides doesn’t he like Demi?
Ignoring what he just said I run to my room, I stop at the door and breathe. Niall gets in between me and the door, He is too close. I look up, his eyes filled with plead. “Lauren please…” I try to find my way around to the doorknob, He shifts. “Niall… I can’t.” I mumbled, finally grabbing the door knob. “Yes you can.” He whispered. He leaned in closer and pulled me in, and wrapped his arms around me, giving me light/gentle kisses on my head. “Yes you can. I’m here for you.” He whispered again. I finally pull away and give him a kiss on the forehead, “Get some sleep Nialler, I’ll see you tomorrow.” I whispered and went in my room.
*Cayla’s P.O.V.*
It’s the big day, leaving all of my new friends and especially Harry. I grabbed my purple suitcase and trot downstairs seeing Lauren saying goodbye to everyone, I look around and Niall wasn’t around. I stop in my tracks and sprint to where Niall was, I flung the door open and see him looking out the window. “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?” I yelled at him. “What…” He turned around. “GO SAY BYE TO HER” I yelled more. He looked like he was going to cry, “Because I can tell she doesn’t want me anymore.” “HELL YEAH SHE DOES, GO DOWN THERE AND CONFRONT YO-“ “Mychaela, our flight leaves soon. COME ON.” I rolled my eyes and threw Laurens number and address to him. “You’re going to need it hun.” I winked and left.
I walked downstairs to find Eleanor and Perrie crying. “Please call us, oh my gosh, I don’t what to do when I need someone to help me plan my outfit and stuff.” Perrie cried. “Per-bear, I’ll text you don’t worry. Zayn take care of her haha.” “You need to come and play dance central with us again, im going to miss you Cayla.” Liam said giving me a big bear hug.” “I will lee-bear. Who is going to be my Disney buddy.” I cried. The others said their good byes and I faced Harry, “I’m so happy I met you and I hope we talk soon. I’m really going to miss you.” Harry said giving me a hug. “I will miss you more. Now, on your tour come and visit me and Lo.” They all nodded and me and Lauren were off to the airport.
As we were boarding the plane I asked her about Niall. “He is better without knowing who I am.” She mumbled. “You excited for senior year?” She asked me. I laid my head back on my seat, “Yeah, I have a feeling this year will be different, im excited.”
-Halfway in the school year-
Its winter break and I stopped talking to the boys. Yes senior year has been different, Me and Lauren has been pranking Ryan most of the year, Lauren made the dance team again, so she is busy with swim, cheer and dance now. I made team captain on the volleyball team and I joined choir. Some girls that love One Direction usually go up to me and Lauren and either fangirl to us or hate on us. Homecoming was fun, I went with Lauren’s bud Chad and we danced till we literally dropped, while Lauren decided to stay home and watch movies. I could see Lauren was distracted that happened over the summer, she usually never talks about the boys, especially Niall. She has changed, I don’t like it.
I felt a warm sensation as I walked in Starbucks. I walked up to the cashier, “Hi, I would like the hot chocolate?” I ordered. “Coming right up!” I stood awkwardly waiting for my hot chocolate, as I grabbed it and left the store I heard giggles. I turned around and found no one I knew. I turned back around to find brunette and purple haired girls. I stopped and looked at them surprised. “Hey girl!” Eleanor giggled. “Wha… wha… what are you doing here?” I asked surprised. “To hang out with you, silly!” Perrie giggled. I looked around hoping the boys weren’t around, “Are the boys here?” “No, just us!” Eleanor said.
I showed them the way back to my house and told my mom and dad they are friends of Uncle Simon. They followed me up to my room and as I shut the door, they sat on the bed and with concerned faces they asked a billion of questions.
“Why aren’t you answering Harry’s skype calls?”
“Why is Lauren not talking to all of us?”
“Harry is worried.”
“Don’t shut us out hun.”
“Niall has been crying.”
“Harry is freaking and won’t shut up.”
“Harry wants to know if you have a boyfriend or a prom date yet.”
“Cayla, don’t push him away.”
I finally got them to shut up and I slowly responded with explanations. “…and with Lauren talking to Niall, you need to talk to her about it.” We called up Lauren and told her to come over for a sleepover. We all decided to call the boys and all them, really all of them answered. Harry’s eyes glistened as he smiled when he saw me, Perrie and Eleanor got yelled at for worrying the boys. “Where’s Lauren? I haven’t seen her since Hawaii.” Harry questioned looking for her. I pulled her in the camera and Niall’s eyes widen like that guinea pig in bed time stories. We all were talking, Harry and Lauren caught up and then Louis and Zayn started arguing on whose girlfriend is better. I look at Harry, happy that I get to see him again and he winked at me. I glanced at Niall and he mouthed “I miss you.” To Lauren, I glance at her and I see a small smile on her face with a tear. After hours of laughing and chatting the boys got sleepy and said there goodnights.
It was good seeing them again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* PROM WEEK*
It’s actually sad that Lauren can’t go to prom. Well she doesn’t want too… she has been excluding herself from the boys and we only talk during school and a little bit out of school. She has been so busy working up for a dance scholarship. I am going to prom but without a date… I know sad right? Everyone looked so happy getting asked to prom and then hooking up. This is the time I wish me and Ryan was still together. Yeah sad I know.
“Kay girl, if you want Chad to be your date I can tell him to come down from Texas again and be your date…” Lauren said.
“Nah, I’m fine. Well I’ll be going dress shopping soon, wanna come?” I asked.
“Sure! When are you going?”
“Tomorrow.”
“Sounds great. Meet you after school!”
We went separate ways, as I got home my mom came rushing up to me. “Your dad wants to meet up with you at Kay’s Jewelers to go pick out some earrings and bracelets, like now.” I looked at her on why my dad chose the most expensive jewelry store in town. “Umm ok, bye mom…” I responded still confused.
I jumped in my car and drove to the store. Once I walked in I was greeted by the clerks, this girl about my age of older walked in front of me and gave me a note.
Pick out expensive diamond earrings and bracelets. I’ll be waiting at Starbucks with your next prom gift.
xx
My dad is super cheap, why did he say expensive earrings? Also, that was defiantly not his handwriting… Who puts ‘xx’ on a note anyways?
I start looking around the store looking at the diamond earrings and bracelets in awe, I finally found a pair. Looking at its price tag, I had a mini heart attack. “Holy shit!” I murmur, hoping no one heard me. Before I knew it, the same girl came up to me. “Would you like to buy these?” She asks grabbing them. “Umm well I do like them but it’s expensive my dad would die if I bought these…” I said. She laughed, “Your ‘dad’ told us that he wanted you to have expensive prom gifts so I’ll ring these up.” What is going on, my dad hates it if I start spoiling myself with his money? Prom gifts, there’s more coming? The girl came back and handed me the earrings and bracelets. “Thanks,” I thanked her and she ushered me out the door giggling, “Hurry! Your ‘dad’ is an impatient man.”
What was that all about? I thought getting into my car, heading to Starbucks. I walked inside finding a very cute guy handing me ANOTHER note and my coffee.
You better bought expensive earrings and bracelets. Here’s a coffee, it’s on me. Don't even try to hit on that guy that gave you the note. Now I want you to go to the new designer shoe store across from Starbucks and get heels that would stand out!
xx
What the hell? How does my dad even know about designer shoes? This is too creepy… but the coffee is good though! I walked out of Starbucks and quickly crossed the street to the Designers Shoes. I walked in and clerks surrounded me giggling while pulling me to the heels section. “Your ‘dad’ is such a sweet guy, be happy that he is spoiling you. Now go on and pick a pair!” One lady said. I looked around amazed at all of the designer shoes. Well crap, I don’t know which one to choose! I tried on so many and cat walked across the store, I remembered I haven’t picked out my prom dress so I should choose grey, silver, gold or nude. I examined every shoe carefully and once I got to this silver pair I squealed, “THESE!”
“Good choice! Here’s your next note from your ‘dad’” The clerk said as she rang up the shoes. “Another note…” I groaned getting a little bit irritated. The clerk smirked as I read it.
Ahhhh I’ve heard that you always wanted a kitten… So go to Petsmart and find the kitten with a diamond necklace around her.
xx
OH MY GOSH A KITTY?! IS HE SERIOUS, YAY! I thought running out of the store, setting the shoes down in my car and driving to Petsmart to see her.
I walked in the adoption center and looked at all of the puppies and kittens. I couldn’t find the one with the necklace, so I walked up to the adoption lady and asked her. “Oh so you’re Miss Martin. Well you have one more stop after this!” She said bending down under the counter and pulled out a new born kitten. I held it and cradled her “Awwww, she is purrrrrfect, haha. But where’s the necklace?” I asked. The lady pulled out the Hope Diamond necklace and put it over my head. “Holy cow! This thing is rare, where did he get it?” “Secret… here you go and have fun.” She handed me my last note.
You like her? Like the Hope Diamond necklace? It’s the real deal, but after prom it has to go back to the museum and I’ll get you a replica haha sorry love. Your next clue, where you will see me is at Coco Beach. See you soon!
xx
I walked out the store and drove to Coco beach looking at the little fur ball in my lap every now and then.
an hour later I pulled up to the beach and got out, starting to walk around it until I see a picnic blanket set up by palm trees, I walk closer to it hoping it’s my dad. Once I got to the blanket flower petals wrote out PROM? I stood there wondering who the hell asked me in this crazy way by letting me buy expensive gifts with their money. Oh wait… I quickly turned around finding this cheeky curly hair, green eyes boy smiling at me. “Will you?” He smirked coming in for a hug. “You devil….. Yes I would love to go to prom with you!” I laughed hugging him. "Oh what did you name the kitten?" He questioned grinning ear to ear. " I looked out to the the sky thinking, until i found it "Cupcake, baby Cici for short!" I giggled. "Hmmm i wonder how you made up with that name..." Harry laughed giving me his cupcake look.
We sat down and talked about prom and how Lauren is going to help me pick out a dress and call up Perrie and Eleanor to help me. ‘Wait, Lauren isn’t going to prom?” He asked very shocked. ‘Yeah, she didn’t go to homecoming either… I don’t know what’s up with her.” I said looking out to the waves crashing into each other at shore. “Hmmm, well make sure she gets her hair done with you. No matter what she says.” He gave a devious grin and I chuckled “What is on your devious mind Styles, please do tell.”
-the next night; before prom-
*Lauren’s P.O.V.*
I walk in my house coming back from a tiring day helping Cayla pick out a prom dress, and then getting our nails done and some how she made me get my hair done. Damn, those stylists can turn any type of hair into a beauty. “Mom? Dad?” I call out. No answer, they probably went for a date night. Home alone! I throw on my pajamas and walk down stairs to make some spaghetti. As I was finishing up eating the spaghetti I hear a faint Little Things playing, I go up to my room and it wasn’t coming from there. “Strange,” I hummed the song following it as its getting louder. I walked outside to my pool and I see a figure in my tree house with a guitar. I came closer and he sang his solo,
“You’ll never love yourself half as much as I love you. You’ll never treat yourself right darling, but I want you too. If I let you know I’m here, for you. Maybe you’ll love yourself like I love you. Ohhhh…”
He starts climbing down and walking towards me
“and I’ve just let these little thing slip out, of my mouth. Cause it’s you, oh it you, it’s you they add up too, and I’m in love with you…. And all your little things.”
He stopped singing and I felt a tear rolling down my cheek, he walks closer and I breathe his name “Niall.” He smiled holding a rose and kneeling down. “I won’t marry you hun!” I teased. He gave a light laugh, “But will you go to prom with me?” He questioned. With not talking to him, a guy who is a guy version of me, who can take a joke and who I loved since he was on the X Factor, who understands me, I miss that and I feel horrible for not talking to him. I nodded and cried out “Yes, yes I will.” I jumped on him giving him a hug. After he twirls me around he pulled me into my garage, “I have something for you.” He smiled opening up the door to my garage.
There stands a dress ever so beautiful
I went up to it looking at the size and everything. “Whoa, you even have my size down!” “Yeah, I had to ask Cayla for that… but I picked out the dress by myself.” He blushed. “Oh my…. Niall, you are soooo sweet!” I said running up to him. “I can’t wait for prom.”
-PROM-
I walked in with Niall and every girl gazed at us, apparently jealous that he is my date. He guided me to the dance floor near Cayla and Harry. Wow Cayla looks amazing in her dress, after all of the arguments at the store El’s dress choice for Cayla won. Way to go El!
“Wow Niall you are very good on your feet.” I said surprised. “Thanks, Perrie has been me and Harry’s teacher.” He chuckled. We danced in sync to the flow of the music. It feels so magical and I feel like a princess with him. His eyes shine as I stare into them, I lay my head on him. This is so perfect…
After an hour of dancing the principal walked on stage
“Sorry to keep you guys waiting… but we had a change in votes of the prom king and queen…. The prom king is …… Mr. Harry Styles” He announced. Me and Niall went animal “HELL YEAH HAZ WAY TO GO, YOU GOOD MOFO, WHOOP!” “And the queen…. Is …… Lexi Dickmen….” We fell silent and Cayla’s eyes closed, we went to her and she was about to cry. She was Ryan’s girlfriend “Cayla..” “WAIT! Sorry that was the old queen, the actual queen is ……. Mychaela Martin.” She flew her head up and ran to Harry, hugging him. “Now lets all take a moment to watch the king and queens dance.” Everyone surrounded them. I watched Harry pick her up and twirl her; it was adorable, they both looked so happy, I am super happy they are together again. My thoughts were quickly interrupted by Zayn and Perrie rushing in, Perrie was in a long silk Lavender dress. Zayn panted “We bumped out The Wanted on last call for Brit Awards… we have to go now.” Niall looked at me, “I’m sorry, I can’t believe this.” He started to rage, Perrie slapped him, “Stupid, you and Harry are bringing the girls. Come on.” She pulled me while Niall and Zayn went to go get Cayla and Harry after their dance. As we were running to the jet I muttered to Perrie “What about our dresses? These aren’t good for an awards night…” “We know! That’s why me and El bought you two new dresses!” Perrie giggled.
*Cayla’s P.O.V.*
The dance was perfect, Harry was perfect, this night is perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better date. Dancing with Harry felt right, I’m happy that he came down to ask me, even if we aren’t dating. After the song was over people went back to their business and me and Harry stood there staring into each others eyes,
“Cayla, there’s something I always wanted to tell you.”
“Yes Harry?”
We leaned in closer and right as our lips barely brushed against each other Zayn and Niall got in between us. “Harry, sorry to butt in but, last minute we bumped out The Wanted on Brit Awards we need to go now. Come on, Cayla is coming too. Perrie and El have a dress for you to change into.” Zayn said escorting me to the jet. “What the fuck Niall? This blows, I ruined her prom! That was what she dreamed of for senior year and now this. I am so pissed.” Harry yelled walking in the jet. He didn’t ruin my night, as long as I’m with him, I am completely happy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A we landed me and Lauren finally was ready for the awards tonight in our new hair do’s, make up and dresses. I walked out to meet Harry and he stood there turning red, “You look beautiful,” He said.
I was wearing this:
Lauren stumbled out in
she also got new heels and Niall caught her, “It’s ok princess, I got you.” They laughed and headed to the red carpet.
We walked up and the cameras were all over us, They started charging questions at me and Lauren.
“Are you two dating Niall and Harry?”
“When did you two meet?”
“Give us more information on your relationship with the boys!”
I hid behind Harry’s back and Lauren followed. The boys stopped the take pictures with fans, magazines, with us and to talk to interviewers. Harry and Niall dodged every question that had me and Lauren in it. We walked down in the building dropping back with Eleanor since Perrie went with her girls. “Are you used to this?” I asked Eleanor. “Hell no! I don’t know how Boobear gets used to this.” She said. We all laughed and found our seats. Reserved, nice. I sat between Harry and Liam, then Niall and Lauren, then Eleanor and Louis, And Zayn at the end because little mix was right next to him. The boys got up, “I’ll be back, we are going to our manager to decide which songs we are singing. Stay here with Lauren and Eleanor. Be safe.” Harry told me hugging me. “Yes Haz.” I replied walking over to sit by Lauren and El. We all started talking until randomly the lights went off.
There was a scream near me and then on the other side of me.
“Lauren, Eleanor?”
Moments later, I screamed as I felt a hand grabbing my wrist and then covering my mouth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Oh my gosh, you guys im going to miss you two!” Perrie said. We all had a moment of silence at the table until Lauren piped up, “For our vacation after senior year… maybe we can go to London sometime…” “THAT WOULD BE GREAT!” Niall exclaimed staring at Lauren. She made no eye contact, “Mhmm yeah.” She spoke flatly. Niall shifted and looked back down to his plate and quietly ate. I wish they just made up, they were so cute and funny together, and they can’t do this to each other. “Ermm, a toast, for our two new best friends.” Liam toasted. “Awh shucks, you guys!” I said hiding my face behind Harry. “So girls, what are you two excited for next year?” Eleanor asked. “PROM!” We both squealed in excitement at the same time. Everyone laughed, “Well your date has to get MY permission.” Harry teased. “Oh shut up Hazz.” I playfully punched him. “Oh em gee, you have to call me and El so we can go down and go prom dress shopping with you two!” Perrie fangirled. “Haha ok!” Lauren laughed. “Well guys I will see all of you tomorrow, I’m going to bed! Night.” Lauren got up and left, Niall jumped up and ran after her. “Go Niall!” Harry yelled.
*Lauren’s P.O.V.*
I get up from the table and tiredly walk towards the stairs. “Lauren, wait.” A familiar voice hollered after me. I turned around slowly to find Niall, “Niall, I will see you tomorrow.” I muttered, turning back around walking up the stairs.
“Lauren, I know what I did was wrong. But I didn’t know it would have offended you this bad, or I wouldn’t have done it. I went too far, I can’t let you hate me. Lauren please, I see you and Harry talk like how we used too. It’s killing me inside, I miss this Lauren. Give me another chance.” He said chasing after me.
I just can’t let a guy in; I haven’t been in a relationship since beginning of high school year. Yes, I would defiantly forgive you Niall; I don’t know what is stopping me. I’m not ready to go back to our friendship… Because if we talk more, I might fall for him, and that can’t happen, besides doesn’t he like Demi?
Ignoring what he just said I run to my room, I stop at the door and breathe. Niall gets in between me and the door, He is too close. I look up, his eyes filled with plead. “Lauren please…” I try to find my way around to the doorknob, He shifts. “Niall… I can’t.” I mumbled, finally grabbing the door knob. “Yes you can.” He whispered. He leaned in closer and pulled me in, and wrapped his arms around me, giving me light/gentle kisses on my head. “Yes you can. I’m here for you.” He whispered again. I finally pull away and give him a kiss on the forehead, “Get some sleep Nialler, I’ll see you tomorrow.” I whispered and went in my room.
*Cayla’s P.O.V.*
It’s the big day, leaving all of my new friends and especially Harry. I grabbed my purple suitcase and trot downstairs seeing Lauren saying goodbye to everyone, I look around and Niall wasn’t around.

“Sure! When are you going?”
“Tomorrow.”
“Sounds great. Meet you after school!”

You better bought expensive earrings and bracelets. Here’s a coffee, it’s on me. Don't even try to hit on that guy that gave you the note. Now I want you to go to the new designer shoe store across from Starbucks and get heels that would stand out!
xx
What the hell? How does my dad even know about designer shoes? This is too creepy… but the coffee is good though! I walked out of Starbucks and quickly crossed the street to the Designers Shoes. I walked in and clerks surrounded me giggling while pulling me to the heels section. “Your ‘dad’ is such a sweet guy, be happy that he is spoiling you. Now go on and pick a pair!” One lady said. I looked around amazed at all of the designer shoes. Well crap, I don’t know which one to choose! I tried on so many and cat walked across the store, I remembered I haven’t picked out my prom dress so I should choose grey, silver, gold or nude. I examined every shoe carefully and once I got to this silver pair I squealed, “THESE!”
“Good choice! Here’s your next note from your ‘dad’” The clerk said as she rang up the shoes. “Another note…” I groaned getting a little bit irritated. The clerk smirked as I read it.
Ahhhh I’ve heard that you always wanted a kitten… So go to Petsmart and find the kitten with a diamond necklace around her.
xx
OH MY GOSH A KITTY?! IS HE SERIOUS, YAY! I thought running out of the store, setting the shoes down in my car and driving to Petsmart to see her.
I walked in the adoption center and looked at all of the puppies and kittens. I couldn’t find the one with the necklace, so I walked up to the adoption lady and asked her. “Oh so you’re Miss Martin. Well you have one more stop after this!” She said bending down under the counter and pulled out a new born kitten. I held it and cradled her “Awwww, she is purrrrrfect, haha. But where’s the necklace?” I asked. The lady pulled out the Hope Diamond necklace and put it over my head. “Holy cow! This thing is rare, where did he get it?” “Secret… here you go and have fun.” She handed me my last note.
You like her? Like the Hope Diamond necklace? It’s the real deal, but after prom it has to go back to the museum and I’ll get you a replica haha sorry love. Your next clue, where you will see me is at Coco Beach. See you soon!
xx
I walked out the store and drove to Coco beach looking at the little fur ball in my lap every now and then.
an hour later I pulled up to the beach and got out, starting to walk around it until I see a picnic blanket set up by palm trees, I walk closer to it hoping it’s my dad. Once I got to the blanket flower petals wrote out PROM? I stood there wondering who the hell asked me in this crazy way by letting me buy expensive gifts with their money. Oh wait… I quickly turned around finding this cheeky curly hair, green eyes boy smiling at me. “Will you?” He smirked coming in for a hug. “You devil….. Yes I would love to go to prom with you!” I laughed hugging him. "Oh what did you name the kitten?" He questioned grinning ear to ear. " I looked out to the the sky thinking, until i found it "Cupcake, baby Cici for short!" I giggled. "Hmmm i wonder how you made up with that name..." Harry laughed giving me his cupcake look.
We sat down and talked about prom and how Lauren is going to help me pick out a dress and call up Perrie and Eleanor to help me. ‘Wait, Lauren isn’t going to prom?” He asked very shocked. ‘Yeah, she didn’t go to homecoming either… I don’t know what’s up with her.” I said looking out to the waves crashing into each other at shore. “Hmmm, well make sure she gets her hair done with you. No matter what she says.” He gave a devious grin and I chuckled “What is on your devious mind Styles, please do tell.”
-the next night; before prom-
*Lauren’s P.O.V.*
I walk in my house coming back from a tiring day helping Cayla pick out a prom dress, and then getting our nails done and some how she made me get my hair done. Damn, those stylists can turn any type of hair into a beauty. “Mom? Dad?” I call out. No answer, they probably went for a date night. Home alone! I throw on my pajamas and walk down stairs to make some spaghetti. As I was finishing up eating the spaghetti I hear a faint Little Things playing, I go up to my room and it wasn’t coming from there. “Strange,” I hummed the song following it as its getting louder. I walked outside to my pool and I see a figure in my tree house with a guitar. I came closer and he sang his solo,
“You’ll never love yourself half as much as I love you. You’ll never treat yourself right darling, but I want you too. If I let you know I’m here, for you. Maybe you’ll love yourself like I love you. Ohhhh…”
He starts climbing down and walking towards me
“and I’ve just let these little thing slip out, of my mouth. Cause it’s you, oh it you, it’s you they add up too, and I’m in love with you…. And all your little things.”
He stopped singing and I felt a tear rolling down my cheek, he walks closer and I breathe his name “Niall.” He smiled holding a rose and kneeling down. “I won’t marry you hun!” I teased. He gave a light laugh, “But will you go to prom with me?” He questioned. With not talking to him, a guy who is a guy version of me, who can take a joke and who I loved since he was on the X Factor, who understands me, I miss that and I feel horrible for not talking to him. I nodded and cried out “Yes, yes I will.” I jumped on him giving him a hug. After he twirls me around he pulled me into my garage, “I have something for you.” He smiled opening up the door to my garage.
There stands a dress ever so beautiful
I went up to it looking at the size and everything. “Whoa, you even have my size down!” “Yeah, I had to ask Cayla for that… but I picked out the dress by myself.” He blushed. “Oh my…. Niall, you are soooo sweet!” I said running up to him. “I can’t wait for prom.”
-PROM-
I walked in with Niall and every girl gazed at us, apparently jealous that he is my date. He guided me to the dance floor near Cayla and Harry. Wow Cayla looks amazing in her dress, after all of the arguments at the store El’s dress choice for Cayla won. Way to go El!
“Wow Niall you are very good on your feet.” I said surprised. “Thanks, Perrie has been me and Harry’s teacher.” He chuckled. We danced in sync to the flow of the music. It feels so magical and I feel like a princess with him. His eyes shine as I stare into them, I lay my head on him. This is so perfect…
After an hour of dancing the principal walked on stage
“Sorry to keep you guys waiting… but we had a change in votes of the prom king and queen…. The prom king is …… Mr. Harry Styles” He announced. Me and Niall went animal “HELL YEAH HAZ WAY TO GO, YOU GOOD MOFO, WHOOP!” “And the queen…. Is …… Lexi Dickmen….” We fell silent and Cayla’s eyes closed, we went to her and she was about to cry. She was Ryan’s girlfriend “Cayla..” “WAIT! Sorry that was the old queen, the actual queen is ……. Mychaela Martin.” She flew her head up and ran to Harry, hugging him. “Now lets all take a moment to watch the king and queens dance.” Everyone surrounded them. I watched Harry pick her up and twirl her; it was adorable, they both looked so happy, I am super happy they are together again. My thoughts were quickly interrupted by Zayn and Perrie rushing in, Perrie was in a long silk Lavender dress. Zayn panted “We bumped out The Wanted on last call for Brit Awards… we have to go now.” Niall looked at me, “I’m sorry, I can’t believe this.” He started to rage, Perrie slapped him, “Stupid, you and Harry are bringing the girls. Come on.” She pulled me while Niall and Zayn went to go get Cayla and Harry after their dance. As we were running to the jet I muttered to Perrie “What about our dresses? These aren’t good for an awards night…” “We know! That’s why me and El bought you two new dresses!” Perrie giggled.
*Cayla’s P.O.V.*
The dance was perfect, Harry was perfect, this night is perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better date. Dancing with Harry felt right, I’m happy that he came down to ask me, even if we aren’t dating. After the song was over people went back to their business and me and Harry stood there staring into each others eyes,
“Cayla, there’s something I always wanted to tell you.”
“Yes Harry?”
We leaned in closer and right as our lips barely brushed against each other Zayn and Niall got in between us. “Harry, sorry to butt in but, last minute we bumped out The Wanted on Brit Awards we need to go now. Come on, Cayla is coming too. Perrie and El have a dress for you to change into.” Zayn said escorting me to the jet. “What the fuck Niall? This blows, I ruined her prom! That was what she dreamed of for senior year and now this. I am so pissed.” Harry yelled walking in the jet. He didn’t ruin my night, as long as I’m with him, I am completely happy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A we landed me and Lauren finally was ready for the awards tonight in our new hair do’s, make up and dresses. I walked out to meet Harry and he stood there turning red, “You look beautiful,” He said.
I was wearing this:
Lauren stumbled out in
she also got new heels and Niall caught her, “It’s ok princess, I got you.” They laughed and headed to the red carpet.
We walked up and the cameras were all over us, They started charging questions at me and Lauren.
“Are you two dating Niall and Harry?”
“When did you two meet?”
“Give us more information on your relationship with the boys!”
I hid behind Harry’s back and Lauren followed. The boys stopped the take pictures with fans, magazines, with us and to talk to interviewers. Harry and Niall dodged every question that had me and Lauren in it. We walked down in the building dropping back with Eleanor since Perrie went with her girls. “Are you used to this?” I asked Eleanor. “Hell no! I don’t know how Boobear gets used to this.” She said. We all laughed and found our seats. Reserved, nice. I sat between Harry and Liam, then Niall and Lauren, then Eleanor and Louis, And Zayn at the end because little mix was right next to him. The boys got up, “I’ll be back, we are going to our manager to decide which songs we are singing. Stay here with Lauren and Eleanor. Be safe.” Harry told me hugging me. “Yes Haz.” I replied walking over to sit by Lauren and El. We all started talking until randomly the lights went off.
There was a scream near me and then on the other side of me.
“Lauren, Eleanor?”
Moments later, I screamed as I felt a hand grabbing my wrist and then covering my mouth.
Notes
Ohhhhhhhhh I wonder what happened? What will the boys think and do? ;)xx Lo
