The Only One for Me
New Revelations
Harry's POV
Knock Knock Knock
Someone was knocking on the door. It was a very hard knock, as if the knocker was in a hurry.
I stood up abruptly. Thoughts were running through my head so fast I could barely make out what they were. I stood at the door, too nervous to open it, until Zayn cleared his throat and said, "Why don't you open the door, mate?" and brought me back to reality. I opened the door. It was Aly.
Before I could express my great relief over the fact that she had not been trampled by fans or run over by a car, she said, "Hey Haz. Sorry I had to go home, I forgot to take my meds last night. How was your morning?"
In response, I gave her a huge hug. "Thank God you're alright!"
"Harry, I was gone for an hour," She said, puzzled. Zayn and Liam came over and joined us by the door. "Did I miss something?" She asked them, confused.
"Well, you left and after a while- well, more like 20 minutes- Harry started-" Liam began to explain, but I gave him a sharp look, and he stopped.
"It's good that you're back! I just missed you." I smiled at her, and she smiled back.
"I missed you too, babe." She replied, and I kissed her quickly on the lips.
"Eeeeewww!" Zayn shouted, "PDA!!!!!" I flipped him off. "Wait," he suddenly said, "Where are Louis and Niall? They should be back now..."
"Oh, they're in- and outside- a broom closet, chatting up two of my best friends." She said very matter-of-factly. There was a very awkward silence. "Why were they out there anyway?" She added, perplexed.
"It doesn't matter," I said quickly, before either of the boys could tell Aly about how I'd freaked out and sent everyone off to find her, a process which involved sending several security guards out to scout any bits of the city that we didn't get to. "Wait," I said slowly, processing what she had just said, "You said Louis is chatting up one of your friends?" She nodded, "What would Eleanor say to that?"
"What would I say to what?" We suddenly heard a voice say right behind us. We all jumped. I guess Eleanor had come in through the door that joined Louis's rooms to and my rooms.
"Oh, nothing El." Said Liam smoothly. "We were just talking about some possible gifts for Louis for his upcoming birthday, and something inappropriate was suggested."
"Okay," She replied cheerily. "Oh!" She exclaimed suddenly. "You must be Harry's new girlfriend. I'm Eleanor!" She said to Aly, who seemed shocked that Eleanor was talking to her.
"Of course I know who you are!" She said elatedly. "I'm Aly."
"And I'm Harry!" I said, "Now, forget the introductions. What do you guys want to do?"
"Truth or Dare!" Volunteered Eleanor, and Liam, Harry, and Zayn groaned. "C'mon guys!" Eleanor whined, "Wouldn't you like to know Aly's deepest, darkest secrets?" They all suddenly became much more interested. Aly looked completely calm.
"Alright guys. I'm gonna go get Niall, Louis, Charlie, and Sarah. When I get back we can play!" She said.
"How come you're going?" complained Zayn.
"Because a) I'm the only one of us not likely to get mobbed by teenage girls, and b) I'm the only one who knows where they are. I'll be back in 5 minutes!" She walked to the door, and then suddenly turned around. "And don't freak out this time, Haz. I'm coming back!" She left, and everyone started laughing at me.
Aly's POV
I walked down the hall, thinking about my encounter with Eleanor. I couldn't hate her, but I couldn't like her either. At least, not while I was still friends with Charlie. And also, what it Louis cheated on Eleanor with my best friend? All of these thoughts rushed through my head, but I silenced them. I wouldn't think of this anymore. I would think of Eleanor as a friend, but whatever happened with Louis was what he wanted, and it had nothing to do with me.
By the time I had reached this conclusion, I had come to where Niall and Sarah were sitting. As I looked at them, I soon realized that they were holding hands.
"Hi." I said, the awkward person I am. "Watcha doin?" I asked, trying to hide the fact that I totally knew I was third-wheeling, and how happy I was about this new development.
"Oh!" Sarah said, dropping Niall's hand and standing up abruptly. "Did you find Harry?"
"Yup." I said, thankful that she was moving the conversation in a different direction. "I'm here to get you four and bring you guys back to Harry's room. You coming?" And, before Niall could ask the question that he was obviously about to ask, I sighed and said, "Yes Niall, there will be food." A large grin grew on his face and he ran off to the hotel room like an excited child, dragging Sarah along with him. Now, on to the next little couple...
I opened the closet door abruptly to find Charlie and Louis deep in conversation. "Out!" I shouted. "We're going to Harry's to play Truth or Dare." Louis groaned. "Come onnnnnnnnnnn" I whined, and I pulled him out of the closet and dragged him back to Harry's room with Charlie walking next to us.
3rd Person Narration
When Louis, Aly, and Charlie arrived, they found Niall and Sarah waiting by the door. They were talking about something that made both of them happy, so no one asked them what they were talking about. Louis banged on the door. "Let us in Haz!" He yelled, and Harry came and opened the door.
Aly kissed him on the nose and we all went in to find Zayn, Liam, and Eleanor waiting for them.
Louis walked over to Eleanor and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Charlie stiffened.
Suddenly noticing Sarah and Charlie, Eleanor said, "Oh! How rude of me. I'm Eleanor!"
"i'm Sarah, and this is Charlie." Sarah replied. "And I assume you've met Aly?"
"Oh, definitely." She said, "We're already the best of friends!" Charlie stiffened even more and Aly shuffled her feet awkwardly.
After a few moments of complete silence, Aly said, "Let's get to the Truth or Dare!"
Charlie's POV
Those few minutes in the closet with Louis were the best of my entire life. It was like I had woken from a deep sleep, and he was the waker. I felt like a princess when I was with him. But, unfortunately, I had to be brought back to reality. He had a girlfriend! And I knew it, so why did I have to go and flirt with him? Why do I keep getting myself into these situations? And why is Aly acting friendly toward Eleanor? She was my friend first, and I didn't need the girlfriend of the man I loved to take her away from me!
Aly's POV
I was totally psyched for Truth or Dare. It was my favorite party game, and I hadn't played in months!
When we finally sat down in the living room- after Niall had managed to gather every smidge of food that Harry and Louis had in their rooms- there was a dispute over who would do the game on their phone. We all went around trying to figure out who wanted to get the app, but as we were all lazy, we couldn't decide.
"Okay, you know what?" I finally said, fed up with the argument. "Who here has an iPhone?" Everyone's hands went up. "Good. Now, does anyone already have the app?" Everybody shook their heads. "Who would be willing?" Dead silence. "I guess we'll have to do eenie-meenie-miney-mo then." And so I did. When Zayn was picked he asked stubbornly,
"Why don't you get it Aly? You do seem very excited for this game."
"Oh, I don't have an iPhone." I said nonchalantly. "Are you getting the app or not?" He did.
------------------------------
When the game finally started, it was hilarious. The highlights included Zayn posting a video of himself quacking like a duck on Twitter, Niall performing 'Hit Me Baby One More Time' in the hallway, and Charlie telling everyone about the time her dress fell down in front of a (male) family friend, revealing her monkey-print bra. It was all fun and games until I picked Truth. The question was 'Who was your first boyfriend/girlfriend, how old were you, how long did you date, and, if you broke up, why you broke up.'
"Well, that opens up some wounds..." I said softly.
"You don't have to answer it if you're uncomfortable." Said harry comfortingly, while putting his arm around my shoulder and rubbing my back soothingly.
"It's okay," I replied, "It doesn't matter. His name was Riley. We were friends for about 5 years before we began dating. We dated from 9th to 11th grade, when he moved to Connecticut for his mom's job He ended up hooking up with another girl a few weeks after he moved. He came clean, and I dumped his sorry ass. He was my first love; we knew everything about each other. We could tell how the other felt just by looking at them. I loved him so much, but I figured if he couldn't be trusted long distance then he could never be trusted." My eyes were wet, and I dried them quickly with my sleeve. "I'm so sorry," I added, "I don't really like to think about it."
Everyone was completely silent. "It's kind of depressing, I know." I said, trying to smile. "But it's over now, so that's that." I looked at Harry, trying to read him. I was worried about how my romantic revelation would affect him. He just looked sad.
He saw me looking at him and took his arm from around my shoulder. Shit. Now you've gone and scared him off. Way to go Aly. But instead of making a distance between us, he pulled me over onto his lap, so that I was sitting on him like little kids sit on Santa's lap.
"I would never, ever do that to you Aly." He said, and relief rushed into my body. I sank into his arms and whispered in his ear, "I know."
