Meant To Be

Chapter 22

"Where are we going?" I asked as Harry started to drive down the street.

"You'll see, now here. Put this blindfold on." Mary-Beth handed me a blindfold and I raised my eyebrow at her. "Trust me. Please." I took the blindfold from her hand and put it on.

"Mary-Beth is also going to put some headphones on you, ok?" Harry said. I could feel the car turning.

"Ok." I felt as Mary-Beth placed the headphones on my ears. The first song I heard was Lay Me Down.

Six songs had already played when I felt the car stop. I felt my seatbelt come off and Harry grabbed my hands to help me out of the car. We walked a little bit, then stopped. I felt as the headphones were coming off of my ears.

"Ok. We are here. You can take the blind fold off," Mary-Beth said to me. I took off the blind fold and let out a small gasp.

"Oh my gosh. You're kidding." They rented a party bus.

"Happy 21st birthday!!" They said at the same time. My eyes kept switching from the party bus and them.

"Oh my gosh," I started to laugh. "Thank you guys so much." I hugged them both.

"You're welcome boo. We always talked about going on a party bus for your 21st, so here you are." Louis, Liam, and Niall came from inside the bus and greeted us.

"Are you guys ready to go inside?" Louis asked. We said yes and walked into the party bus. It was much bigger than I expected.

"I'll tell the driver we're ready," Liam said.

"Ok," I heard Niall say.

"This is amazing you guys. Thank you so much."

"Of course," they said. I moved to sit down on the seat, and Harry sat next to me. Not soon after, everyone was sitting and the bus was moving.

"So are you ready to have your first drink as a 21 year old?" Louis asked me while standing to go to the fridge.

"No and yes," I chuckled. I watched as Louis got shot glasses and poured a clear liquid into them. He gave one to everyone.

"Cheers," Harry said while clinking his glass to mine. We all joined in.

I watched as everyone downed the liquid.

"Are you scared?" Harry asked me.

"No. I'm just a little nervous."

"Don't worry about it. It's not that bad the first time." He gave me a smile.

"Ok." I looked at the shot, then downed it. I felt it burn as it went down my throat. It was horrible. I started to cough. "Oh my gosh."

Everyone started laughing.

"Oh. Also, it burns a little bit," Harry said. I gave him a little swat at his chest.

"So how was it?" Loui asked.

"It was horrible." I kept thinking about the taste which made me cringe.

"But do you want another one?"

"For some odd reason, I do." Everyone laughed and Loui poured me another shot.

"Thank you." This one was better than the last one, but was still bad.

Niall put on some music and started dancing with Mary-Beth.

"Would you like to dance?" Harry asked me.

"I'd love to." He let out his hand and helped me up. We danced and sat and danced some more for a couple of hours. Then the bus stopped.

"Attention ladies and gentlemen. We have reached the destination. I will be out here if anything. Just a reminder that your time ends at 6 a.m."

"Where are we?" I asked.

"Follow me, and you'll see," Harry said.

I stepped out of the bus and looked up to see that we are at a club.
