In a Heartbeat
Mickey Mouse
Melody's POV
I turned off the shower and stepped out after wrapping a towel around myself. I tucked in the corner so it would stay up. I wrapped my hair in a second towel and unzipped my skate bag, looking for something to wear. I didn't have many options. Should I tease them and wear a competition dress or should I wear my 1D stuff? Or should I just wear something comfortable? (read notes)
I decided on my yoga pants and the sweatshirt, until I found a bag of my clothes in the bathroom. Heather must have brought it inside last night after I fell asleep. I sat on the toilet lid and looked inside. I found my sports shirt, which I paired with my yoga pants. I dried my hair with the tiny hairdryer in the bathroom, then put it up in a ponytail.
I walked out of the bathroom after shoving my clothes bag into my skate bag. I dropped my bag next to the couch and backed up a little so I had space. I waved to Harry, who was watching me, and smiled. I pulled my leg up behind me and held it there, then did the same with my other leg before going to find the gym. Before I left, I grabbed my iPod and told Harry where I was going, then walked out the door.
It wasn't hard to find the gym. It was huge and just down the hallway. I started out on the treadmill, then went to the elliptical. I had refilled my water bottle three times in the past half hour, and I wasn't even tired yet. But I was hungry, so I walked back to the room. I knocked on the door, because I hadn't thought to ask for the key card. I thought of something I learned from my dad. When you're locked out, find something like a credit card and pick the lock. So I dug around in my pockets until I found my debit card. Good to know I had it. I knocked again, this time a little more forcefully.
The door opened a moment later. "Where were you?" Harry asked.
"The gym. Remember?" I said, exasperated.
"After that."
"Waiting for you to open the door!"
"Oh. By the way, your sister's up," he said. "She's taken control over the remote."
"Ella!" I shouted into the room. I ducked under Harry's arm and walked into the sitting room where she was watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. "Give poor Harry the remote. I don't think he wants to watch this any more than I do. And you know I have zero tolerance for Mickey Mouse."
At this, Louis woke up and wiggled his way out from under the coffee table. He yawned loudly, then looked at the TV. His face immediately lit up and he went to go sit next to Ella on the couch. "I love Mickey Mouse!" was all he said. I groaned and walked to the bathroom to change.

Yeah sorry this chapter was so dull. I had to put something in there. I'm still thinking of ways to put my idea into this. So far it's not working out. I may need to go back to Fargo and just drive around to see if there are any places like what I'm thinking of.
HEY. Your official-unofficial announcements sadden me. No promises or not, I really, really, really, really, really, really, REALLY hope you decide to eventually continue. I won't even be mad if you do a rewrite but dude, you gotta do something. I WILL DIE IF THIS STORY DOES NOT CONTINUE.
