The Love Countdown
seven;
‘She’s What?’
The gang stared at both of us with wide eyes, mouths hung open, as the room filled with awkward silence.
‘She’s fourteen, problem?’ I raised my eyebrows and looked at them expectantly.
‘Mate, she’s five years younger than you’ Liam screeched out, standing up and flailing his arms in the air.
‘Well it wasn’t my choice was it! Leave her alone for goodness sakes, she’s a lovely girl’ I spoke, anger thick in my voice. I had no idea why I was getting so worked up about it, she seemed like a lovely girl and I wouldn’t mind her becoming my girlfriend.
‘But we have a tour’ Zayn interrupted, ‘What’s she going to do? Come with us?’ He scoffed and I clenched my fists in anger.
‘Yes. She will be coming on tour with us so like it or lump it’ I gritted my teeth and glared at the group.
‘Well, I think she’s adorable’ Perrie squealed and jumped up to crush Liberty into a hug, I sighed, ‘Perrie, please stop harassing her’ I pinched the bridge of my nose with my thumb and forefinger, frustrated at how up close and personal they were being.
‘What would you like to do now?’ I asked Liberty, eyes widening as she bit her lip.
‘Uh, I don’t know actually, whatever you’d like’ She glanced at the group in front of her who were arguing about what they were going to do.
‘Hey! I have an idea! why don’t we go shopping!’ Danielle sang, a chorus of groans and ‘nooooo’s erupted into the room from the boys, ‘Okay, how about we take Liberty shopping, while you boys do whatever’ Eleanor said and stood up, gesturing Liberty to stand up and follow.
‘Alright, seems fair’ I shrugged and turned to look at Liberty, ‘They’re nice, trust me’ I smiled as she nodded and followed the loud girls out of the door.
‘Mate, what are you gonna tell Simon? The fans? They’re gonna hate you’ Louis said, sitting up from the floor and making his way over to the couch.
‘I honestly don’t know, not until we make it official I think I’m going to tell everyone, she’s still scared and nervous, I could see it in her face’ I glared at the boys again, ‘And it didn’t make it easier when you idiots came and went into her personal bubble’
‘Sorry’ They all simultaneously said.
I stood up off the couch, ‘I’m going to take a shower’
I walked down the hallway and into the bathroom, staring at the reflection in front of me. I was so confused and stressed out right now, I didn’t even want to think about what Simon and the fans would say, obviously they would send hate to her, and honestly, I wouldn’t put up with the bullshit that people are going to say to her, and to me.
We were meant for eachother, soul mates. It wasn’t my choice or Liberty’s choice, fate decided to pull us two together and she just happened to be younger than me. I rubbed my hands down my face, sighing deeply and hopping into the shower.

‘Are they home yet?’ I yelled to the boys from my bedroom.
‘No!’ Louis shouted.
It had been over three hours since the girls had left and I was starting to get worried, oh God. What if they did something to her, crashed the car in a river or..or- I dunno, but I was getting impatient with them because I was meant to be getting to know her not them.
‘We’re homeee!!’ A girlish voice screamed from the front door, I walked down the hallway and saw Perrie, Danielle, Eleanor and Liberty all standing in a line. I looked down and my jaw dropped, ‘How many go damn banks did you rob to pay for all of this stuff?!’ I stared at Eleanor, knowing straight away that it would’ve been her that made everyone but this shit.
‘Well, if Liberty was coming on tour with you guys, she might as well be prepared’ Danielle smiled and skipped her way over to Liam.
‘She had plenty of clothes at her house, I’m sure’ I shook my head and looked at Liberty.
“Don’t look at me! They’re the ones that took me basically everywhere to buy clothes!’ she protested.
‘Oh well, we spent it now’ Perrie shrugged.

‘So, how are you liking the boys and their girlfriends?’
Liberty smiled, ‘I like them, they seem wonderful’
‘They are, once you get to know them better and spend four months on a tour bus with them, they’ll be the best friends of your life’
I handed her a pair of sweatpants and a grey crewneck, ‘Here, you can sleep in these for tonight, we’ll go home and get your clothes in the morning’ I smiled at her as she stood up to go to the bathroom.
‘Goodnight, Harry’
‘Goodnight, Liberty’
And with that, I walked into my bedroom.
