The Only One for Me
First Impressions
Aly's POV
I hurried up to Harry's room, still blushing over the fact that Ashton Irwin thought I was cute. My mind was filled with images of him, and I fell into a daydream about marrying him, when suddenly I was at Harry's door. And I realized I had been dreaming of someone other than him! I started freaking out, and all of a sudden, I heard footsteps coming towards the door from inside the apartment. I bolted around the corner and ran until I had turned several more corners, and was completely out of breath. I ducked into the nearest broom closet I could find, and sat down.
Thoughts were overwhelming my brain. What if this means I don't like Harry? Am I cheating on him? Would he be mad if he found out? Do I want to date Ashton instead of Harry? What is happening to me? What am I going to do?
I began to feel so completely confused, and, instead of continuing to freak out, ran through a list of people I could call. Charlie is probably still mad at me for not telling her about Harry, but I mean, come on, she didn't tell me until the day before she left for Mexico with Sarah, and-
"Oh!" I exclaimed triumphantly, and then realized that if anyone was walking by, they would probably look in the broom closet and call security, and I would get kicked out... But I didn't care because I had figured out who to call.
Sarah Raine had been one of my best friends since middle school, and I didn't know how I would have survived without her. She was my best source for guy advice, because she had an older brother and pretty much every guy in school loved her. So basically, she had been around the block a few times more than myself.
So, sitting in a broom closet in my famous singer boyfriend's (whose opening act member I feared I was cheating with) hotel, I dialed the number I had dialed in many situations before.
-------------------
Sarah's POV
I was sitting on my bed, listening to, who else, One Direction, when my phone started ringing. It was Aly.
Oh dear, I thought, What did she do now?
None-the-less, I was curious, and whenever she called she really needed my help, so I picked up the phone.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Sarah! I need your help! How do you know if you're cheating on someone?" She blurted into the phone the second I finished talking.
"Oh, that's easy!" I replied, bored. "If you flirted, kissed, or had sex with anyone other than your boyfriend, who you are exclusive with, then most likely, you're cheating. But, with the flirting part, it could not count as cheating, if you would rather be with your boyfriend, and it was just on account of a) insanity or b) a complete and total mind blip. You really need to start coming to me with harder ones, Al. Oh, I almost forgot! Do you want to-" But she had already hung up.
That was strange, I thought, Aly never does that. Something must be wrong...
------------------
Harry's POV
"Where is she?!" I shouted as I paced in front of my couch.
"Chill out Haz!" Liam said, trying to calm me down. "She'll be here. She's probably just caught in traffic. Stop pacing! Just because she isn't here yet doesn't mean she's leaving you."
"Why would you think she's leaving me?!" I shouted instantly, the thought made me feel sick. All of the boys backed off from trying to comfort me. Liam blushed and looked down. "I just don't get it!" I said, defeated, and sunk into a chair. "She said she'd be back soon." Suddenly, a horrible thought entered my mind. "What if she's hurt?! What if she got in a car crash?! We've got to go find her!"
I stood up abruptly, and the boys all groaned simultaneously, but stood up dejectedly.
"All right, guys." I said, "Niall and Louis, you check the hotel- she could have been hurt here. She could have been mobbed by fans! Hurry! She could be dying as we speak! Liam and Zayn, we'll check the whole city, got it?"
They all nodded, and the five of us headed out to find Aly.
--------------
Sarah's POV
I was worried about Aly. She didn't know a lot about relationships, and I was afraid she would walk herself right into a very bad situation. Also, I hadn't even known that she had a new boyfriend, and I was looking forward to meeting him. And, you know, I hadn't seen since before Charlie and I went to Mexico for a few months, and I missed her.
So, I made a few phone calls and set out to find Aly.
--------------
Niall's POV
Louis and I were wandering around the hotel, trying to find Aly, though we knew that there was no point in looking, because she would show up when she wanted to. We knew she wouldn't leave Harry, she obviously liked him, just like every teenage girl we had ever met.
The search was made very complicated by the fact that every few minutes we had to run from enormous flocks of teenage girls, but we persevered.
We were still searching an hour later when we encountered yet another group of fans, and we ran, but we were stuck in a dead end. Luckily, we saw a closet, and went to hide in it, but when we opened the door, we found aly and two other girls, sitting there and talking.
-----------------
Charlie's POV
We were sitting in the closet, talking, when suddenly the door opened and two very familiar faces were staring down at us.
"Ahem! Privacy, please!" Aly exclaimed, much to Sarah's and my surprise.
"What are you doing?!" Sarah whispered, "You do realize who they are, right?"
But Aly continued talking. "We are trying to have a conversation here, so, you can come back in like five, ten minutes, then we're all yours." She smiled and tried to close the door, but Niall stuck his foot in.
"Actually," He said as he winced in pain, " We're kind of being chased by fans, Aly, so can you please let us in?" He put on a very effective puppy face, and Aly let him in.
Sarah looked dumbstruck. "H-how do you know Aly's name?" She stuttered, completely losing her usual confidence with guys.
Louis looked puzzled. "She doesn't know?" he asked Aly, who shook her head.
"Nope. I was actually just about to tell her, when our conversation was so rudely interrupted." She looked at them accusingly.
"What didn't you tell me, Aly?" Sarah asked, beginning to lose her nervousness after she realized how nice the boys were. "Oh, I'm Sarah, by the way." She added quickly.
"Nice to meet you Sarah," Niall replied, and Sarah blushed. "And this is?" He pointed at me, and I blushed too.
"Oh!" Aly exclaimed, "sorry, this is Charlie and Sarah. They've been my best friends for a really long time."
"I'm Louis, and this is Niall." Louis added, jokingly.
"We know who you are." I replied promptly, and then blushed.
"Don't worry, we know that you guys are fans." Louis replied. "We've had plenty of time getting associated with your friend here, now that she's dating one of our best friends."
"WHAT?!?!?!?!" Sarah shouted, sending the rest of the group into fits of laughter.
"Yeah..." Aly said guiltily, "I'm kind of dating Harry Styles..."
"Well that's just great." Sarah replied angrily. "Any other secrets? Anybody else wanna just hit me over the head with a sledgehammer of information?"
"Not really," Niall said, grinning, "Although their is something I want to ask you... Do you mind coming outside for a second?"
Sarah froze. "Sarah? Saraaah? Heloooo? Niall Horan, a member of the band you've loved since you were in seventh grade wants to talk to you!!!" I said, trying to revive her. It worked.
Sarah bounced up and went outside the closet with Niall.
I looked at Aly, with our secret code look that we use when we want to be alone with a guy.
"Well, I guess I'd better go find Harry." She said cheerfully. "Any idea where he is?"
"yeah," Louis replied, "He went out looking for you. I'd go knock on the door and see if he's back yet."
"Okay, got it!" Aly said, and left me alone with Louis Tomlinson staring into my eyes. I was in heaven.
----------------
Sarah's POV
I stood outside the broom closet with Niall, waiting for him to say something.
"Sarah-" he said, but was interrupted when Aly suddenly came out into the hallway.
"I'm going to see if Harry's back yet, see you guys later!" We waved, and she walked away.
When she had gone out of our sight, Niall said, "Sarah, I really like you. I'm not really good at hiding my feelings, so there's no point. You're pretty, cute, nice, intelligent, and I think you're the kind of person a want to spend a long time with. So, will you go out with me?"
I hurried up to Harry's room, still blushing over the fact that Ashton Irwin thought I was cute. My mind was filled with images of him, and I fell into a daydream about marrying him, when suddenly I was at Harry's door. And I realized I had been dreaming of someone other than him!
