Chapter~ 6 'Run For Your Lives!'

The place was overwhelmed with silence for a few seconds. They were all out of words. Speechless. However, still jaw dropped. Their mouths opened and closed, as if they wanted to say something but the words won't come out. Questions flooded into my mind, 'was I that bad?' My questions were not answered until Zayn broke the silence.

''No. That was actually amazing!"

Good job, Isabella. You're thinking out loud.

''Fabulous!'' Louis continued.

''Brilliant!" Liam followed.

''Extraordinary!" Harry screamed. A scream that would easily break a window or two.

''Fantastic!" Niall concluded.

After all that, I started laughing so much that my sides hurt. They're hilarious.

''Thank you, guys. I'm so flattered. I'm really glad you like it, but I don't think I'm that good. I mean, you guys will always be better!'' I said, smiling like an idiot.

Actually, cross that. Maybe I really am an idiot.

Oh well.

''You were seriously amazing, Isabella. I've been telling you that for years! You only believe it when it comes from One Direction, eh?" Jessica added. I could feel heat rising up to my cheeks. I'm definitely blushing.

"I really do appreciate it. Though my singing is nothing next to Jessica's dancing skills,'' I stated. I'm a hundred and ten percent sure Jessica is mentally killing me, wishing she physically could.

''For real?" Niall asked.

''Hell, yeah. She's a beast," I replied, smiling. I took a glance at her. As I thought, she was glaring at me. Not a normal glare.

A terrifying death glare.

"Sorry," I mouthed at her, pouting.

"Well, go on," Louis said, motioning for her to stand and start.

''No. Besides, I'm not dared,'' Jessica said.

''Fine. Sit down and let's continue,'' Harry said.

We sat down in the same circle and watched the bottle spin. Once it stopped, it was pointing at Jessica.

What a coincidence.

''So Jessica, truth or dare?'' Zayn asked her.

''Truth,'' she answered confidently.

''Okay, so I dare you to dance,'' he replied.

''I see what you did there." I gave him a wink, which he returned, cheekily.

''No. I said truth, Mr. Malik," she said.

''You can be really stubborn at times," I told her. She gave me an even more horrific glare that immediately shut me up.

''Come on. Please do it. At least for us?'' Niall gave her his adorable puppy dog eyes.

At that moment, I knew she was swooning.

"Fine," she finally agreed. "But I'm not responsible for your disappointment. I'm not as good as Isabella says I am."

''You are. Trust me, she is,'' I told the boys. They nodded, excitedly.

She went over to the computer and plugged in the speakers. Then, I heard a loud song bust. Jessica was then dancing to On the Floor, by Jennifer Lopez.

Jessica moved swiftly along with the music. She was swaying and twirling. Her dance moves sent goosebumps all over my body. Her eyes told me she was so incredibly nervous, but the way her body responded to the beat of the music told me otherwise.

She was amazing. Only the most amazing best friend ever. I don't really think I deserve someone as loyal as her. But I'm so selfish that I don't want to share her with anyone else.

The music stopped and Jessica did her final move.

''Would it be too cheesy if I say I can't believe my eyes? Cause it's true." Niall said, almost in a whisper.

''I told you!'' I gave her a warm smile, which I guess, gave her the message.

''Thank you." She blushed.

"Guys, can you excuse Jessica and me? We'll be back in five,'' I asked.

''Sure, take your time." Liam excused us, smiling.

We nodded and went into the kitchen. I took a deep breath and then started talking.

Well, screaming.

''One freaking Direction are hanging out with us! I can't freaking believe this! Oh my God!" I jumped up and down, insanely screaming.

''I know right?! I can't believe this!" She screamed back, imitating my action. We both stopped to breathe. Then,

''EEEEEEEEEEE!" We screamed once again.

"We've got to stop. Calm down. Calm down! Let's go, now. We're making them wait too much." I tried to calm myself down.

''Yeah,' Jessica agreed, following me outside the kitchen door.

As we stepped out, we found One Direction still sitting on the floor in the same weird circle. They looked up at us and smiled innocently. Of course, we did the same. Who would reject these gorgeous smiles?

''Hey,'' Jessica finally said, breaking the awkward silence in the room.

''Hello,''

''Hey,"

''Hi,'' we heard them say.

''Um, we heard a few screams. Is everything okay?" Liam asked, the other boys let out faint chuckles.

''Oh, err-" I stuttered nervously. "Crazy fans aren't they?" I lied.

''Well, I'm pretty sure it isn't them," Niall replied.

''What do you mean?'' I asked, pulling out the best-confused face I could.

''What we heard wasn't the fans from outside," Louis replied.

'Oops. Busted, ' My conscience told me.

'Shut up,' I spat back at it.

''I still don't understand," I continued to lie, looking at them innocently.

''Don't act all innocent on us. We know it's you guys. We heard you. We were right in front of the doo-'' Zayn said, then suddenly stopped. "Uh-oh."

''You were eavesdropping on us?'' Jessica asked in disbelief. I just stood there, feeling heat and blood rise up to my cheeks and probably boiling there in embarrassment.

''Sorry?'' Harry laughed.

''W-we were just so excited. We're so-'' I said, but Louis interrupted me.

''You don't have to apologize. We're used to it."

I nodded, understanding.

''Mhm. So, you guys aren't planning to sleep here, right?'' asked Jessica.

''Actually, we don't have any other choice,'' Malik replied.

''How about you sleepover at ours?" I offered.

''It's fine. You guys look tired, anyways. You go ahead and we'll sleep here, if that's okay,'' Liam said sweetly.

''No, really. It would be amazing. Come on, please?'' I asked again, pouting.

''Okay then. But only until the fans go away.''

''Yes!" I cheered, happily. "Follow us to the car. When I give you the 'Peace' sign, you run. Deal?'' I asked.

''Are you serious? Peace sign?" Harry's eyebrows were raised in amusement.

''Just do it.'' I rolled my eyes and opened the back door.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Bad idea.

I quickly slammed the door shut.

''Whoa."

I opened the door once more and placed my hands on my ears, hoping to block the screams from entering. Jessica and I took off, and as soon as we were safe and sound inside the car, I raised two fingers in the air.

"Run!" Liam's voice boomed as he took off running to our car. The boys followed him, running as fast as they can.

Then, we were off home.

~*~*~

''What do you guys want to do?" I asked everyone.

''Movie night?'' Louis suggested.

''Popcorn!'' Oh, Niall.

''Toy Story!'' Liam followed.

''At least I'm not so obsessed with stuff like them.'' Zayn sighed heavily. As if.

''Oh really?'' Harry asked sarcastically while playing with Zayn's hair.

''Leave. My. Hair. Alone,'' Zayn growled. Then, his face lit up and an evil smirk appeared on his face. ''Look, a cat!''

''Where?'' Harry asked as he turned around.

We all roared in laughter while Zayn and Harry glared at us. Then, they shrugged and joined our laughter.

Jessica shook her head and looked at me. I immediately knew what she was trying to tell me.

These boys will never change. At least we never want them to.
