NEIGHBOURS
Chapter 18
"Bridget you ok" Luke snaps me out of my thoughts.
"Huh yea totally" I say obliviously.
"So umm you going to the pool tomorrow?" He ask me but I look at the door, where we sit at the store.
"Bridget" He says my name. "Sorry Luke, look I gotta go. I'll see you at the pool." I slowly get up
"Yea I guess" He bluntly replies. "I'll see ya" I kiss his cheek.
I walk out of the store heading home.
"BRIDGET" Soph and the girls see me.
"Hey ladies" I grin. "Come with us." El says.
"Um where" I ask curiously. "Formal dress shopping" Perrie claps her hands.
"Hell no!" I try to walk away. "Not so fast love, your coming no if's, not but's." The stand in a row so I can't pass.
"Ah fine" I tilt my head back and give up.
"Let's hit the road." Sophia says.
"How about this one" Perrie pulls up a purple dress.
"Eh" I shrug my shoulders.
"So El who you going to the formal with?" Pez nudges her.
"LOUIS ASKED ME" She blushes and I smile at her happiness.
"Bri, you coming yea" El asks me.
"Um no."
"What why?" Soph puts.
"Umm for one I don't do all this stuff, and second who with?"
"You could ask Luke" El suggests. "Na he would feel uncomfortable"
"Ok what about H" Perrie speaks.
"No, why would I ask him. I mean why would I ask any boy for that matter." I say
"Maybe because we live in the twenty first century and girls can ask boys out." Perry chuckles and I laugh.
"I asked Zayn!" She says proudly. "No way." Soph and El say in sync.
"Yea, I mean he had no other choice, what other girl is going to go with." She says confidently. Gosh I love her style.
"Come in girlies." I say to them as we walk up my driveway.
"Incoming" Perrie obvious coughs. I turn around and see Harry.
"Ask him" El whispers. All the girls leave me without being obvious NOT
"Hey" I start up the conversation.
"Hey." He speaks awkwardly with his hands in his pockets.
"Umm, are you going to the formal" I come out straight with it.
"God no, not my thing" I guess I have my answer then
"Why?" he cocks his head, "no reason" I brush it off. "Look I better go" I try not to tear up in front of him.
Harry's POV:
"Please, please, please" I beg the boys.
"Fine, but I'm not singing, only guitar." Niall agrees. I turn to the other three and grin stupidly.
"Yea sure anything for love" Zayn agrees. "OK fine" Louis agrees.
"Guess I'm in as well."
Yes all five of us. "Thank you so much!" I group hug them.
"Ok get off curly" Niall pushes me off
"Well I better get writing. Thanks again lads" I leave Liam's house.
So they have all agreed to perform at the formal. I want to show Bridget that I am serious and all in about us, nothing will stand between me, her or us. My brain is running a million seconds an hour all these lyric ideas and melodies I think off overwhelms me. My main message for her is I love her, but even though she is with someone else I still loved her first.
I walk back to my house, and see her so I decide to walk up to her. As I approach her I see the other girls walking away.
"Hey" She says first.
"Hey" I say awkwardly with my hands in pockets. Why am I nervous ?
"Umm, are you going to the formal" She asks me.
"God no, not my thing" I answer her
"Why?" I cocks his head, "no reason" She looks dissapointed "Look I better go". Shit was she going to ask me? And I just dismissed her like it was nothing, good one Styles, good one. But I want it to be a surprise. I mentally punch myself and walk home to work on her song.
