Friday

Apparently I slept all night. No one woke me up for dinner. I didn't wake up until my alarm went off. I turned it off then got up. It was Friday beautiful Friday. I got dressed and did my morning routine. Then before we left Louis came in my room. He sat down on my bed , and asked if we could talk for a minute. He apologized. Then said he had talked to Harry yesterday afternoon. I asked him what about. Louis said about me. I was a little surprised to hear that. He kept talking. When he finished I still didn't feel better. He said I would. That made me more confused then ever. We left. Neither Louis nor me needed to pick someone up today. We rode there almost silently , except for the radio. We parked the car and went inside. I didn't wait for him, instead I found Cheyenne and Hailey. We walked to our lockers. When we got to an area where nobody was standing , they started asking questions. Somehow they found out I was upset.

"Courtie, are you ok?" Hay asked me.

"What happened last night?"

"I'll answer your question, but first answer mine. Who told you about this." I sighed and waited for a answer. They told me no one did. Pftt. Yea right. I asked them again. Then Hailey finally confessed. She said Louis told her I was upset, but he wouldn't tell her why. I'm going to have to beat him.  Why would he tell her.

"Louis and Harry got in a little argument. Then I started arguing with Louis. I don't know why I was just so upset. Then I started crying. " I told both of them. They both hugged me.  "Oh! And to make things worse, yesterday when we got home you'd never guess who was there. Duncan Ferfeild. "
They looked really sorry for asking me. I felt like crying again. Chey grabbed me by the shoulders and said....

"Court you will be ok. We're your friends and we'll always be here for you. You know that right?"
I shook my head. I hugged her . People walked by and stared. I didn't care though. I pulled hay into our hug. The three of us stood in the middle of the hallway hugging. When we finally broke apart we walked to our lockers. We were almost late to class. We all made it to our seats just as the bell rang. We had art class first period . Me , Cheyenne, and Hailey sat at the same table. Today they switched our seats around a little. They put me on the middle. The teacher ,Mrs. Rachel, told us what to do. We all got started. We were supposed to paint a picture of our favorite after school activities. After about ten minutes she started walking around. Mrs. Rachel looked at and commented on her student's work. She started at the front. I sat closer to the back. Mrs. Rachel wasn't fast about this. She walked slowly. Then she got to our table. She paused to talk to Hailey who sat at the end. Then Mrs. Rachel walked over to me . I stopped painting, so that she could see what I had done so far. She didn't say anything for a minute. I felt very worried.

"Well Ms. Tomlinson this is beautiful. But what exactly is your favorite after school activity? This painting has so much going on. "

"I have More than one. I love hanging out with my friends , volleyball, and listening to music especially my brother's band."

I smiled when I said it. She seemed to understand. Mrs. Rachel continued walking. She got finished about ten minutes before class was over. We had to clean up our stuff.
*bbbbrrriinngggg*
The bell for next period rang. We left. The rest of the day was ok to . At lunch I didn't say much. Louis seemed worried about me. I wasn't to upset anymore.

"I'm gonna take my stuff to trash. I'll take yours to court" hay told everyone. I gave her my trash.

"I'm going too." Louis said.

Was I the only one who realized what they were doing? They were trying to get me and harry to make up. Ugh. I got my phone out of my purse. I sent a quick text to hay. Chey didn't sit with us today, so it was just Harry and me at the table. He didn't say a word. They weren't coming back until we talked. I wasn't starting this conversation with him. I turned my phone back off. Then Harry suddenly grabs my hand. I look over at him.

"Look I just wanted to apologize. Maybe what I did was stupid and wrong. I should have told Louis in a different way. I'm really sorry Courtney." He looked pitiful. I couldn't help but think he was cute though.

"It's ok. I should've probably told you he would have overreacted. He's overprotective and you know that. " I didn't mean to sound rude. Did I sound rude? The face he made told me I didn't. He looked grateful. He squeezed my hand just a little bit.

"I also wanted to tell you that after you went to your room , we went to his room and talked. We talked for like two or three hours. Want to know what we talked about? " Harry explained. I was confused. I nodded.  "You. We talked about you." He answered me. I was shocked. No way they talked about me . I wasn't that interesting of a person. I must have looked confused or shocked.

"What wrong you don't believe me? "

"No. I believe you. It's just that I'm not a very interesting person. You couldn't have talked about me for that long."

"You are very interesting. I'm sure there's plenty more we could've talked about."

"What did you talk about?"

"Well he told me your middle name. Lillie. And we just talked about what happened. And why Louis is so protective over you. Do you know why?"

"He told you my middle name. He is so dead. I don't know why." 

"He said it's because, he saw you hurt before. He said he beat that guy, because Louis doesn't like to see you upset. That's also probably why they are supposedly at the trash. While we are the only ones at the table. He wants us to talk , but he doesn't have to know we know that we know. What they are doing that is."

I smiled and laughed at him. I already knew. Did he just figure that out?
Harry started rubbing his thumb across the back of my hand. I had completely forgotten we were holding hands. I looked down at our intertwined hands. He was so sweet.

"Speaking of your brother and best friend. Here they come."

I look up and see Hailey and Louis walking back now. They got to the table and sat down. Both of them stared at us. They looked at questioning.

"Hey guys. What's up?" I asked them to make them stop starting.

"Nothing much. you?" Hailey responded.

"Oh nothing. Just realized the trick  one of my best friends and my brother are trying to pull."

"What trick?" Louis responded this time.

"Well you to both walked to the trash out of nowhere. And it doesn't take fifteen minutes to walk to the trash and back."

They looked over at each other. Yea I figured it out. They didn't seem to surprised.

"Oh yea? Well I figured out the trick you two are trying to pull." Louis was certain. He looked like he knew a lot.

"I'm confused. We aren't trying to pull any trick. What are you talking about?" I told and asked my brother.

"Oh really? Like you don't know. I'm not blind court. You two are obviously holding hands. I'm not the only one who noticed by the way."

Louis figured it out. I was confused though. What did he mean by he wasn't the only one who noticed? I looked around us at other tables. Everyone was looking at us. They were all talking. Oh no. By tomorrow there would be rumors. I was very nervous now. I couldn't stand it when people stared. I started fidgeting.

"Why are they all staring?" I asked the others quietly.

"Because we're holding hands." Louis answered me. "Are you ok?"

"Not really. I don't like it when people stare. It makes me nervous."

"Oh. Well maybe the four of us could go? Then you won't feel under pressure of peoples stares." Louis suggested.

We all got up and left. The thing is there was no where to go. Class didn't start for ten minutes. I sat down outside my next class. Hay sat beside me. The boys sat down across the hallway. We didn't say anything. We just sat. I looked at Hailey then Louis then Harry. They all looked back and forth between all of to.
Chey cam out in the hallway. She saw us all sitting on the ground and sat with Hay and me. We all sat there in silence until the bell rang.
The rest of the day flew by. My teachers didn't give to much homework. It was Friday.  The day was almost over. I got into the car with Louis. He looked at me suspiciously.

"Hey do you want to drive home?" Louis asked. He smiled at me. I smiled back .

"Seriously? Yea I want to drive."

He got out. I climbed over into the driver seat. Louis climbed into the passenger seat. When he put his seatbelt on, I started the car. Louis looked a little scared. I drove off. We got home at the same time as we usually do.  My parents were coming out of the house when we pulled into our driveway.  They stayed on the porch until I parked. They didn't go straight to there car. My mom and dad walked over to us.

"Well. Courtney I'm surprised to see you driving. Normally your brother is driving." My mom smiled at me.

"I know right. He let me drive for once." I looked at him and he smiled.

"We are going to dinner , so we got to go. Oh and Courtney. You got something delivered earlier. It's inside on the kitchen counter."

"Ok daddy, thank you! Bye have fun."

"Bye honey."

They got in the car and left. We went inside. Louy went to his room and got ready for the show. I got something small to eat. Then I walked away from the pantry and to the counter to see what was delivered. 
I saw a dozen roses on the counter with a note. The note had my name on it. The note said.....

' hey I may sound crazy
  But you are amazing
  And I like u
  So will you please
  Go out with me
        -Harry Styles'
Harry sent me flowers. No he sent me roses. I can't believe it. Now I couldn't stop smiling. I was so shocked.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH" I screamed.

Louis ran downstairs. He looked scared and worried. But when he got to me , I smiled.

"Why do you scream like that?" Louis was so confused.

"Umm... one because I can. Two because someone sent me roses!" I moved out of the way so he could see. He laughed at me.

"Who sent you flowers?"

"Oh. Uhhh. Harry did." I didn't really want to tell him. Thought he would get mad. He didn't. Louis just smiled. Did he know something I didn't. It doesn't matter. I grabbed the flowers and went upstairs. Before I sat them back down some random number called me. In a haste decision I answer it.

"Hi Lillie" He said.

"Hello who is this?" I asked.

"Will you go with me?" This strange caller didn't answer me . Instead he asked me a question.

"Harry Styles?!" I was certain now.

"Yes. So will you?"

"I'd love to. I can't believe you seriously sent me flowers."

"And why not?"

"I don't know. I guess I wasn't really expecting it. Or expecting you to ask me out."

"Well I'm glad to surprise you."

"Oh you really surprised me. Ask Louis. I surprised him."

"*laugh* how did you surprise him?"

"I screamed and he ran downstairs."

"Oh. So are you coming tonight?"

"Yea I am. Well me, Chey ,and hay are hopefully."

"So I'll see you there."

"Yep."

"Ok well I got to go and get ready. Bye"

"Bye Harry"

We hung up. I felt like screaming again. I didn't this time. Instead I got dressed for tonight. I decided to wear a dress. I took a shower. Then got dressed and did my make-up and hair. By the time I was ready Louis was gone. He left a note on the bar for me. It said.....

' I had to go early. The keys are hanging up. Pick up whoever you want to.  You might want to stop for something to eat. I'll see you when you get there. Love you sis. ,Louis'

  I called hay and Chey to see if they needed a ride. They did. I grabbed the keys and my purse and left. After I picked them up we got a pizza. I told both of them what happened with Harry. They were almost as surprised as I was. It took us thirty- six minutes to get there. We didn't get there early though. It was 6:58 when we got there.  The show didn't start until 7:30 at least.  We didn't go inside immediately instead we sat there and talked. Chey told us about her and Alex (her boyfriend). Hay talked about Louis. I mostly listened. They asked me about Harry. I of course answered their questions. By 7:15 we went inside. Chey found good seats in front. Hay bought drinks and candy. I didn't buy much just bracelets and necklaces for all of us. They were matching. We put them on and sat down until more people got there.

*time lapse

It is now 7:38. This place is packed. There has to be two hundred people at least and this is a small gig. These people were getting more excited by the second. It's insane and awesome. They still didn't come on stage. No more people were being aloud in. It's now 7:46. Weren't they supposed to start like fifteen minutes ago. They finally came out on stage , but it wasn't until after 8:00. They walked out all at the same time. The entire room screamed as loud as they could. It was so loud. They said hello and started singing. They finished up the first song and everyone started screaming again. They did a few more songs with only small breaks in between.

"You all know this next song." Zayn said.

"We want you all to sing with us." Liam said.

"I want to hear loud voices and you all working together on this one. Louis and Harry want to dedicated this song to some of you special people out there." Niall said.

"I want to dedicated it to the beautiful girl who agreed to go out with me. Hailey. Come up here." Louis sounded so happy and excited. Hay freaked then went on stage. They hugged.

"Hi Directioners I also want to dedicated this song to a special person. Louis's sister. Courtney Tomlinson. Come on stage with us." Harry said staring right at me. I didn't know what to do. Chey quickly squeezed my shoulders then pushed me. I walked to the edge of the stage . Harry helped me up just like Louis did Hailey. He kissed my cheek. Louis noticed but didn't say anything. They started to sing. I was shocked to hear what they were singing. So was Chey. She jumped up and down and sang as loud as she could. Hay and I didn't know what to do. Both of us stood beside each other in the middle of the stage. I whisper asked her if we should get them to make Chey come up there to she Said we should. I got Harry's attention and told him. He shook his head. They all paused for a minute and Louis handed me the microphone.

"Chey! I love you! Now come up here with us." I could hardly say it with a straight face. I handed the Mic back to Louis. She ran to the stage Niall and zayn helped her up. She ran to me and hay . Next thing I know all three of us are dancing. Chey had made us. I wasn't expecting this though. All the guys looked at us. All of the fans had a look of jealousy in their eyes. We kept smiling and dancing until the song was over. When it was Louis kissed Hailey's cheek and Harry kissed mine. Chey on the other hand got a kiss from all five of them , although it was involuntary. She didn't fight it though. We all three Ernesto the edge of the stage hand in hand in hand. Then we jumped. The girls right behind our spots screamed. We all laughed. One Direction kept in performing.

*time lapse

The guys said goodbye at 10:26. They walked backstage. The girls in the back rows started leaving first. Then the girls in the front. We walked to the backstage entrance at almost 11:00. We went to the bathroom first. The guard let us right in. The boys were in the one and only dressing room. We knocked on the door , because it was locked. Liam opened it and let us in. They all smiled at us , then looked to each other. It seemed planed but, all five of them started clapping at the same time. Chey, hay , and myself all started Laughing and bowing. They all laughed at us to.  We sat down. They said that they weren't leaving until everyone else was gone. We told them we were gonna wait with them. They of course said we didn't have to, but we wanted to. Hay went to the concession stand to see if they had anything else to drink. She came back with three coffees. She handed one to Chey and one to me. The other was for herself.

"You didn't get us anything?" Liam asked. He acted hurt. Then smiled.

"You ain't cripple." Hay told him.  The guys seemed surprised that she Said that. Chey just laughed and so did I.

*time lapse

It's 11:53 now. The guys are getting up there stuff to leave. When they get it we start to go to our cars. Louis and Hailey walk out first. He has his arm over her shoulder.  Then Niall , Liam , and Chey. Zayn leaves to go to his car. Me and Harry walk out last. We are holding hands. It was a good night. Louis walks Hailey to the car. She got in and he walked off. Chey walked by herself after she Said bye to the guys. Harry and I walked to my car together. He opened my door, and just before I got in he kissed my cheek again. I let him then kissed him. He was surprised especially since Louis was watching us. I didn't care though. He didn't hesitate to kiss me back. I pulled away from him. Then I got in the car. He closed my door and walked away. I watched him  in my mirror walk to his car. Louis slapped him across the head when he walked past. Cheyenne slapped my arm playfully. 

"What was that for?" I asked her.

"I can't believe you two kissed. Especially in front of Louis." Chey said smiling.

"So what does Louis have to do with anything? And it's not the first time we kissed. Plus I couldn't help myself. It might have been a stupid move on my part."

I smiled. Chey laughed at me. Hay did to. I sat there for a minute, then crank the car and left. Chey and hay decided to spend the night. I drove us to my house. The whole way home we talked and listened to the radio. We didn't get home until like 12:30ish. I opened the door to the house. My parents were home and didn't look to happy. Louis wasn't here yet. Oh no. I'm in big trouble.

"Courtney do you know what time it is? And how late past curfew you are?" My dad sounded mad.

"Yes and yes. But I have a very good reason. We were at the band's show. All of us. "

"They had a show tonight? Who is all of you?" He sounded less made now.

"Yea they did. All of us is Me, Hailey, Cheyenne, Louis, Niall, Harry, Zayn, and Liam."

"Oh ok. I was going to ground both of you, but since you have good reasons. I won't."

"Thank you so much daddy."

"Yea yea. Now go upstairs to bed, honey."

"Kk"

I kissed his forehead. We went upstairs. They all laughed at me. I rolled my eyes at them. They borrowed some pjs. We all changed. Then layed down and went to sleep.
