I Should Have Kissed You (A One Direction FanFiction)

Chapter 28

                “Yeah you’re right. Well thanks Li. We’ll see you in a bit.”

                “Alright mate.”

                “Bye.” I make my way upstairs to get changed, but stop short when I hear Holly and Brianna talking.

                “I think I let it slip last night.” Brianna says nervously.

                “Serioulsy!? Did he hear you?”

                “I don’t know, I was half asleep and I think he was asleep already.”

                “Well do you then?”

                “I don’t know, maybe. I know that I really like him. He’s so sweet and funny and caring.”

                “Oh my gosh you totally love him. I can tell the way you’re going on about him, plus you look like you’re imagining your wedding.” Holly giggles. I can hear her thump Brianna on the arm.

                “Ow.” She responds. The two of them laugh together and then begin talking about clothes and other girly things. I take that as my cue to stop eavesdropping. I turn to head to my room, only to run straight into Harry.

                “Oh hey.” I say sheepishly.

                “Eavesdropping I see?” Harry inquires. I nod, hanging my head like a scolded schoolchild. Harry grabs my hand and drags me into my room. “Well? Any juicy gossip?” I look at him appalled.

                “You have no idea how girly you just sounded.” I laugh.

                “Yeah I think I do, now tell me what did they say? Cuz you looked pretty happy about whatever it was.”

                “Well… Bri told Holly she thinks she loves me.”

                “Pshh old news. Now really what’s the gossip?”

                “Wha-?” I gaped at him.

                “It’s totally obvious mate. All I’m saying is you gotta do something.”

                “Well gee that was so helpful thanks.” I snip, getting off the bed and scavenging for a shirt.

                “Ooookayy then… I think we’re leaving in a bit. See ya downstairs.” I mumble a goodbye and pull on a pair of jeans and a green t-shirt. I slip on my sneakers and head downstairs. Holly, Bri and Harry are all sitting and talking.

                “ZAYN! LOU- oh. You’re here. Okay. ZAYN HURRY UP!” Holly screams, cupping her hands to make herself louder. A minute later Zayn comes downstairs out of breath.

                “Geez Hol, you scared me. I’m lucky I came down with clothes on.” We all laugh and head out to the car. When we arrive at the hospital, Liam is waiting for us in the lobby. Holly runs in and smooches him on the lips, while the rest of us watch in mock disgust.

                “They’re right down here,” he says leading us to a room. We walk in to see Vanessa shaking the nurses hand, Niall’s arm around her waist as if they were about to leave.

                “Oh hey guys.” Niall says cheerily, “we were just leaving.”

                “Vanessa how are you?!” Holly and Brianna run to hug her. Niall comes over to me,

                “I already told her mate, now you just gotta break it to Bri. I told Vanessa not to bring it up around her, I didn’t want Bri freaking out and then you being pissed at me.” I nodded, as we all went back to the lobby.

                “You know I could really go for a nice roller coaster right about now.” Vanessa states.

                “What? You just got out of the hospital and you want to go on a roller coaster?” I ask. What the heck?

                “I just get migraines sometimes and I have meds. I’m fine. And yes I do want to go on a roller coaster.” She says crossing her arms and sticking her tongue out at me like a five-year old. I just laugh as we all agree to go to the amusement park. Liam, Niall, Vanessa and Holly all go in Liam’s car, while the rest of us take my car. We agree to meet at the entrance before we all split up in the parking lot.

                “This is going to be so much fun!” Brianna gushes, skipping to the car happily. I feel my stomach knotting up. I’m gonna ruin her day. I think to myself. Now I wish I’d told her already. I sigh, sliding in next to Brianna. Harry drives, Zayn takes shotgun so he can be the DJ, his iPhone plugged in and Stereo Hearts blasting out through the speakers. Brianna leans her head against my shoulder, softly humming along with the song. I smile out the window, knowing that soon enough she won’t want to be near me.
