My Guardian Angel
D.R.A.M.A.
Raelee comes in from the kitchen with an upset expression on her face. Silently, she makes her way over to the couch and sits. Everybody is waiting in anticipation. Everyone is just staring at her; waiting for an answer.
"Well?" Asks Louis.
"Well what?!" She snaps back.
"What did Simon say?" replies Zayn.
She sighs before answering. "Simon said that you two dating is a wonderful idea because she is popular in America and you boys are popular in the UK. It will boost both of your popularity." She looks over at me disgusted and leaves the house. All the guys and I sigh with relief.
"No way! He likes the idea! Yes!" Shouts Niall happily. "How do you want to celebrate Lily?"
"I just want to stay home and watch movies tonight. I know it's lame and all but-" I start.
"That sounds great! How about we all have a family movie night here in the living room." He suggests. I look around and see the girls smiling and the guys don't seem to care.
"That sounds nice. Is that ok with you guys?" I reply making sure everyone wanted to participate.
"YES!!" All the girls chorus loudly. Zayn, Louis, and Liam just agree with the girls but when I look over at Harry, he is just looking at me. But it wasn't a normal look, it felt like he was looking through me.
"What about you Harry?" I ask quietly.
"Yeah. . . I guess it's not a family camp out without the whole family. But where will everyone be sleeping?" He replies with slight hesitation.
"Zayn and I can share the couch." Perrie says.
"Louis and I will make ourselves a bed out of the beanbags." Eleanor interjects.
"Dani and I will use the recliners." Pipes up Liam.
"Then Harry and I can bring in the blow up mattress and us three can sleep on the floor." Niall suggests.
"Well let's all get ready!" Says Zayn.
Everyone stands up and heads to their rooms. I follow Niall and Harry out into the garage where the grab a neatly folded air mattress. Harry points to a little electric air compresser. I grab it and follow the boys back to the living room. We turn on the compresser and in no time, the bed is ready. Time to get ready then.
I walk over to my room and grab my purse. I pull out my cute, fuzzy stuffed dog. It was a cute white bulldog dressed in Marine Camouflage. I hug it tightly and a tear trickles down my face.
"Lil?" I hear Liam say. I turn and he is standing in my doorway. He recognizes the toy in my hand and realizes what it's about. "Come here Jade. . ." I groan at the use of my middle name but feel comforted when he hugs me. "I know you miss him. . . And it's not your fault. I know you still love him and always will, love, but you can't blame yourself for what happened."
"I let him go. I'm the one who told him to leave. It is my fault." I burst into tears as I hug my best friend. "He is gone because of me!"
"He did what he wanted. He wasn't forced to leave you alone. But you had me to get you through everything. You don't need him. Everything will be ok." He assures me.
I hear my door creak and when I turn I see Niall standing there with a hurt expression. He drops all the movies in his hands and storms down the hall. I get up and run after him.
"Niall! Niall!" I yell as he goes out the front door and towards his car. "Where are you going?" I ask as he opens the door. He ignores me but I go and stand behind his car so he can't go anywhere.
"Move Lily!" He yells out the window.
"No! I'm not going anywhere until you tell me where your going!" I yell back.
"I'm going to the store now move!" He yells. I move out of the way and he takes off quickly. I sit down in the middle of the driveway and I wait for him to come back.
3 hours later. . .
I'm still sitting in the driveway. I hear the front door open but don't take my eyes off the road. I feel someone wrap a blanket around my shoulders and that's when I looked to see who it was. I was surprised by who it was.
"He's not back yet?" Asks a concerned Harry.
"No. Does it really take three hours to go to the store?" I asked confused. I was shivering and he must have noticed because he pulled off the blanket and put his jacket on me then put the blanket back on.
"About that. I don't think he uhh- he didn't go to the store." He says quietly.
"Why do you say that?" I ask confused by what he said.
"Look." He says as he hands me his phone. It was a photo of Niall at a club kissing another girl. I covered my mouth in disbelief.
"He did this all because he got angry over something he knew nothing about? I can't believe him." I say quietly.
"What? What happened? Is everything ok?" He asks genuinely concerned.
"I don't wanna talk about it with anybody yet. I can really only trust Liam with that information for now. It's nothing personal. It's just that he was there to help me through it." I say back to him.
"It's fine. But will you please come inside? You don't have to watch movies or sleep with me in the living room if you don't want to. Whatever you want but please come inside." He says nicely. I smile and stand up. I grab his hand and he leads me into the house. Everyone is sleeping. "So are you going to your room?"
"No. . . I'll sleep out here with you. I feel much safer sleeping close to a guy." I respond. "Something happened to me a few years ago and I don't feel safe unless a male is around at night."
"It's fine. Don't you want to change your clothes? You know some pajamas?" He asks gesturing to my denim shorts and vented t-shirt.
"Yeah. Do you have a shirt I can wear to be tonight please?" I ask angelicly.
"Follow me." He says with a laugh. I grab his hand and skip to his room. He grabs me a white v-neck and I just stare at it for a second. "Is there something wrong with it?"
"I swear every single one of you boys wear the same brand of white v-necks." I say. He throws me a black Ramones shirt and takes the white shirt. "You have style, Styles." He laughs and gives me a pair of sweat pants. "No thanks. I don't usually wear shorts but I will wear my spandex tonight."
After I changed my clothes, I went out to the living room to find Harry putting a new movie into the DVD player. I go over to the kitchen and open the fridge. I squeal when I see my favorite.
"Who drinks Abuelita's Mexican hot chocolate?" I ask confused.
"I don't know. Liam bought it yesterday." He says as he presses play.
"I like to eat the chocolate instead of mixing it with milk. This is like my only weakness when it comes to food." I admit as I unwrap the rich, chocolate gold. I break off a small piece and stick it in my mouth. It melted and I felt so at home. "You should try it Harry."
"I would if you would stop eating it all!" He says as I shove a larger piece in my mouth.
We wrestled over the chocolate for a few more minutes and then we end up laying in bed. I looked over at Harry and he had a smudge of chocolate on the side of his mouth. I lick my thumb and clean it instinctively. I lay down and shut my eyes. I'm facing Harry and he was facing me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I snuggled closer. I felt comfort as I rested my head on his chest. He kissed the back of my head and said, "Good night beautiful." I smiled and sleep came over me quickly.
"Well?" Asks Louis.
"Well what?!" She snaps back.
"What did Simon say?" replies Zayn.
She sighs before answering. "Simon said that you two dating is a wonderful idea because she is popular in America and you boys are popular in the UK. It will boost both of your popularity." She looks over at me disgusted and leaves the house. All the guys and I sigh with relief.
