*~*recap of how the last chapter ended*~*
*VANESSA'S POV*
I finish the song and feel proud of myself.
I always feel like that's one of the best songs I sing.
I always get lost in the music and forget where I am and why I'm singing.
I look over and see the boys and realize that I was singing for them.
The expression I see on their faces worry me.
They looked shocked.
Was I really THAT bad?
Did I sing so bad they hate me?
Oh god.
"Vanessa, that.. that was..."
The boys look at me in shock. It's kinda funny actually, their expressions I mean. It's like they've never heard a terrible singer. Well maybe not terrible but still... I'm pretty bad...
"NO YOUR NOT!!!" I hear Louis shout.... did I say that last part out loud...?
"Yes. Yes you did." Zayn says with a chuckle.
"DAMN IT!!!" I say a bit louder then I should, but seriously my singing is pretty bad...
"Vanessa your singing was absolutely... Amazing..." Louis and Zayn say in sync. They look at each other and burst out laughing. I have to admit it was pretty funny. I turn and look over at the laughing boys and start to crack up myself. I look over at the clock and realize it was almost 1am.. how long had we been here..?
"Ok first off I'm not that good of a singer. Second off it's already 1am so I need to drive you guys to your hotel beforev you get into anymore trouble." They obediently nod and stand up off of the messed up bed.
"Ok so you boys head down stairs and put on your shoes while I go grab my keys.. okay?" I ask them. They nod their heads again and run down stairs like little kids. I chuckle to myself and skip to my room thinking about all of the crazy events that have happened in the past few hours. I mean a barbie attacked me and then I met part of the biggest band in the world right now, and I dont think I hate them anymore. I mean they aren't jerks or anything like that.. so why not be friends.
I grab my keys off of my bed side table and grab a big, bright red hoodie to put over my t-shirt and black leggings. I run a brush through my long blond hair. I grab a pair of red toms from under my bed and run downstairs. The boys are standing obediently by the door and laughing about something... who knows what. As soon as they see me they calmed down a bit and smiled at me.
I smiled back and walk towards the door with the boys following behind me. I open the door for them and let them out first then look the door behind me. I don't want any robbers. I walk to the car and unlock the door for the two eager boys jumping outside. I hop in the front seat as Louis and Zayn sit in the backseat. I put the key in the ignition and start the car. I turn on the radio and it's a song that we all know. I turn around and smile an excited smile and turn up the radio really loud and open the windows. As the first notes of Gangnam style start to play the boys are dancing in their seats and trying to sing the words in Korean. As the song nears the chorus we all get ready to sing/scream.
OPPA GANGNAM STYLE
OP-OP-OP-OP-OPPA GANGNAM STYLE
HE-E-EY SEXY LADIES
OP-OP-OP-OP-OP-OPPA GANGNAM STYLE
EH-EH-EH-EH.
We scream the chorus as loud as we can and we get a few weird looks from the cars passing by. I look over at the driver beside me giving me the finger so I stick my tongue out at him recieving a scowl again. The song ends and my new favourite song; Taylor Swift's ' I knew you were trouble'. I turn up the radio as loud as possible and see the boys smiling along with me. Thefirst notes of the song
Once upon time
A few mistakes ago
I was in your sights
You got me alone
You found me
You found me
You found me
I guess you didn't care
And I guess I liked that
And when I fell hard
You took a step back
Without me, without me, without me
I sing the first verse easily and just forget everything around me; just listening to the music. Well other then the road because I'm NOT going to crash. I keep singing along to the song having a great time.
And he's long gone
When he's next to me
And I realize the blame is on me
Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places i'd never been
So you put me down oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places i'd never been
Now i'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
The chorus is probably my favourite part. She just seems so genuine when she sings this part. Like she actually had that happen to her. It makes her seem like she is singing from her hart; not just to make money.
No apologies
He'll never see you cry
Pretend he doesn't know
That he's the reason why
You're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowning
And I heard you moved on
From whispers on the street
A new notch in your belt
Is all I'll ever be
And now I see, now I see, now I see
He was long gone
When he met me
And I realize the joke is on me
I vaguely notice that the boys are smiling from the back seat but I dont seem to care that they're there right now. The only thing I'm really thinking about is driving and getting the lyrics right.
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places i'd never been
So you put me down oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places i'd never been
Now i'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
When your saddest fear comes creeping in
That you never loved me or her or anyone or anything
Yeah
As the song begins to end I realize just how sad the song is and how this probably happens a lot. This is probably one of my favourite songs by her. It just mixes a more pop sound with her country sound.
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places i'd never been
So you put me down oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places i'd never been
Now i'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble!
As I finish the song I smile to myself for getting all of the lyrics right. I mean the song hasn't been out for very long and the song isn't that repetit--- I stop when I hear clapping and look into the mirror.
"See! I told you that you were incredible!" Louis says rather loudly. I blush slightly because I'm really not that good of a singer.
"Yeah you were AMAZING" Zayn says making the word amazing extra loud making me blush more. Before I can respond I realize we are at the hotel they were staying at.
"Okay, we are here. Now do you need any more help getting into the hotel now?" I ask sarcastically but before I can laugh at my joke they nod their heads like 5 year olds. I sigh and stand up; it's already 2am. Woah time flies. I park the car in the garage beside the hotel and hop out. The boys follow me out and we walk into the hotel.
I look up at the HUGE hotel spread in front of me. It had a grand staircase and a crystal chandelier. The place was decorated modern but you could tell it was high class. I hadn't ever been in such a beautiful hotel. I look over at the huge elevators that look like they could fit an elephant. The boys start to walk over so I follow them.
We step in the huge elevator and the boys press the button for the top floor... great. In the elevator it's pretty much silent except for the boys poking eachother then giggling. Once we are almost at the top floor Louis and Zayn walk over to stand next to me and look at each other then nod.
"So anyway we were wondering if you'd like to meet the rest of the band?" Zayn asks as Louis makes puppy dog eyes at me. MUST... RESIST..PUPPY.....DOG...EYES....
"Wait there's more of you lot?!" I joke them while poking Louis cheek.
"HAHAHAHA but seriously do ya..?" They ask me again looking expectant like they want to be friends with me. That's weird. I don't have many friends.
"Yeah ok, I guess I mean it's already late enough..." I say still a bit un sure of if I should do this.
"YAY!!" Louis yells like he's about to have the best day ever. The elevator reaches the top floor and I'm about to step out before Louis grabs my arm.
"By the way... here's your phone back." He says with a cheesy grin before skipping down the hallway leaving me with a chuckling Zayn. He grabs my arm lightly and starts to pull me out of the elevator with him. I reluctantly follow thinking maybe I can escape. We round a corner and see Louis pulling a key card out of his pocket. Before he puts the card in he turns and faces me.
"Okay so stay with us and they probably shouldn't yell at me and Zayn. Kapeesh?" He says making a funny face.
I giggle and nod my head showing that I do understand. Louis puts the card into the slot and slowly turns the door knob.
As the door opens I see 2 teenage boys sitting on the couch, 1 middle age man and another teenage boy pacing in front of the door and a frightened Louis and Zayn beside me. As they hear the door click open they turn to look at it.
The middle age man seems to be furious while the other boys look slightly worried and anxious at the same time. I'm guessing those are the band mates.
"Louis! Zayn! WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN!! WE'VE BEEN WORRIED SI--who's that."He asks still seeming mad but also confused seeing me there.
"Uhm-ah well that's uh-hm-ah." They both stutter unsure what to say.
"I'm Vanessa." I say with a small smile. "I found these goofballs walking around when I was walking home from the mall. They ran into me after I got attacked by one of your ego-maniacal fans.. no offense.. " I add quickly hoping they wouldnt start yelling at me.
"None taken love." The one with short light brown hair and chocolate brown eyes says.
"Continue." The stressed out middle aged man says looking like he's trying not to rip his hair out. Louis and Zayn are still hiding behind me all scared behind me. I mean the guys not that scary....
"Well we got to talking and I realized they were miles away from here so I offered them to have a ride home which they took. Then here we are now." I finish feeling more confident then usual.
"Oh and," I say turning to look at Louis and Zayn. " If my phone is broken from you guys fooling around on it then I'm gonna find you and your buying me a new one." I finish and Louis and Zayn burst out laughing and I earned a few chuckles from the other boys.
Official looking middle age man sighs and seems to relax a little. "Well as long as you boys are safe, I'm exhausted and going to sleep. If you try adn sneak out again I will have to get you a body guard to stay in here with you.." He says looking pointedly at the boys behind me.
"Yes Paul.." I hear them mumble. So Paul is his name....
"It was a pleasure to meet you Vanessa and I hope to see you again." He says with a smile. "Oh and thank you for driving those boys home." He says while handing me some money.
"Oh no thank you, I was just being nice." I say trying to give him back the money.
"Keep it." He says simply and walks out of the door. I stare at the money baffled and shove it into my pocket. I turn around and see Louis and Zayn are still hiding behind me which doesn't seem to be going to well considering they're a lot bigger than me.
I face them and say, "Are you guys dont hiding?" I ask. They jump up surprised and are looking a bit embarassed. I chuckle at their reactions as they walk out from behind me.
I turn back around and see the other boys staring at me. I turn around and see the boys staring at the walls; probably still ashamed. Before I can introduce myself the other boys from the band stand up and look at Louis and Zayn with a bit of an angry expression on their faces.
"Why did you guys leave?" Curls asks.
"Where did you guys go?" Brown Eyes asks.
"Why did you bring the girl up?" Blondie asks. I got a bit offended when he said that. I'm not some random chick and I have a name. I look over at blondie and remember why I didn't like them. They were another stuck up boyband and their comments were starting to get annoying. Before anyone could ask another question I speak up.
"I have a name y'know." I say looking at blondie a bit angry now. That shut everybody up. They look at each other a bit surprised I had spoken. Louis and Zayn seem happy that they aren't getting yelled at anymore.
"Guys this is Vanessa." Louis says smiling at them.
"I'm Harry." The curly haired one says.
"I'm Liam." The brown eyed one says.
"And I'm Niall." Blondie says looking kinda upset about how he had been talking to me.
"Well it was nice meeting you all." I say putting on a small smile even if I don't like them that much.
"It was nice meeting you to love." Liam says putting on a sweet smile as I look at my phone trying to turn it on. I take off the back and realize the battery is gone.
"Louis.." I say with a sigh.
"Yes little Vanessa?" He asks trying to look innocent.
"Can I pleaaaaase have my phone battery back?" I ask hoping that the puppy eyes work on him.
"Will you leave after that?" Louis asks in the same tone as me.
"Yes.." I say slowly.
"Then no." He says simply.
"But why not?" I ask again.
"I'll give it back if you at least get to know us and stay here for a bit." Louis counters.
I think about that for a second... buy a new phone or just hang out a bit with them.
"Finnnneeee." I say too tired to argue.
"YAY" Louis and Zayn yell at the same time. They grab me in a huge hug. I see Liam and Harry shrug at each other and then they joinn the hug too. I see Niall standing looking at us a bit hesitant so I smile at him and show him that he should join. He smiles back looking happy that he is forgiven. He runs over and gives us a huge hug.
"Guys...I...can't....breath...." I say slowly.
"Sorry." I hear them all mumble and back away. I chuckle a bit and look around. The hotel room was as nice as the front entrance but just a bit more modern.
"LET'S PLAY TRUTH OR DARE!" Louis shouts as I look around hesitant as the other boys start to walk over to the couch area. Louis turns around and sees me hanging back a bit. He sighs and picks me up and throws me over his shoulder.
"WOAH your so LIGHT!!" He yells making the other boys turn around and look at me.
"Louis!" I yell giggling
What did I get myself into...?
