When I Wake Up Next To You
Can I Have This Dance?
I smiled at the familiar name adorning the text - Eleanor. I was a bit confused though, unsure of how she knew something was wrong. Psychic much?
[i]How'd u know something was wrong?[/i] I quickly typed out back and waited for a reply.
[i]Between dating Louis and being friends with u, I can recognize a sarcastic tweet lol :)[/i]
Fair enough.
[i]Ha... yeah. fair nuff. well, lets just say charlene doesnt like me. at ALL. wants to make my life hell apparently. :)[/i]
A few moments later my phone rang and I answered quickly.
"What is her PROBLEM?" Eleanor's voice rang through my ear. The sound of her voice made me smile despite the current problem at hand.
"I don't know," I said helplessly, "I mean she supposedly likes Niall so..."
Eleanor let out a laugh, "Please, she'd have to outright kill you in order to ever snag Niall. There's no way he'd ever go for her."
I giggled, "If you say so, still... she was pretty adamant I stay the hell away from her. Ugh... I don't even know where she went just no."
"Oh psh. The boys will soon see she is a load of crap and never want to speak with her again! No need to worry. Anyway! You excited for the Chicago show? Aside from that being your home and all that, I'll be visiting!"
"Really?!" I shouted, a huge grin spreading across my face, "Oh my god that's awesome, I can't wait to show you around!!"
"Yup! It'll be just like old times huh? Well I should go, I'm actually pretty sleepy," she said with a laugh, "I'll text ya later okay? And don't worry about Bitchlene, okay love?"
We ended our phone call and the rest of the day went by smoothly aside from [s]Bitchlene[/s] Charlene's death glares. But Eleanor's words had soothed me and I didn't let them bother me.
After the show the boys had managed to convince management to let them go out to party and despite my initial unwillingness I got [url=http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=56782512]changed[/url] and we set off to a club. Unfortunately Charlene invited herself to come along as well.
We were under strict orders to not drink but surprisingly the boys were okay with this.
Well...
"Just one bloody pint is all." Niall grumbled by my side, "Just one pint and that's it. Stupid America."
I laughed, and poked his side, "Hey, you're dating an American, remember?"
He brightened a bit and gave me a quick peck, "Yer right. You're the best part of America." I blushed slightly, and took a quick drink of my soda to cool off.
"Hey um... Amanda...?" I felt the color drain from my face, Charlene.
"Alice." I corrected, smiling as pleasantly as I could.
"Right! Alice." Charlene replied with obvious fake sincerity, "Mind if I borrow your boyfriend for a quick dance?"
Yes. Yes I do. I thought bitterly. But the look in her eyes told me if I even dared to say no to her request I would have my drink promptly shoved in my face.
"Nope not at all!" I said cheerfully, "I don't dance much anyway!"
Niall gave me a quick kiss before being unceremoniously dragged away by Charlene. As they left I felt a pang in my heart but I brushed it off - after all I had nothing to worry about right?
But I wish I had known to never let Charlene bully her way into a dance.

P.S. I don't want to sound like one of those people but if you would read my story I would appreciate it, if you don't want to that's cool, honestly :) But I really just want to tell you that I loved this story and thought it was amazing!! :)
