Why Don't We Go There?
Chapter Eighteen
Clary's POV
I woke up at 3pm and with a splitting headache. Shit, I have a slight concussion. Holy crap it kills. I rolled out of bed to shower. I can't believe I slept that long, granted I probably was actually unconscious for a bit...great just great. Haz was picking me up at 6, I only had 3 hours to get ready! FUUCK. I turned the water on and heard my mom knock on the door.
"Hey love...how is your head? I called your coach and no practice for you on Monday and Tuesday. He wants you to be okay."
"Okay...thanks mom. And I just have a bad headache." And a slight concussion...but it's all good. My head just feels like it will explode.
"No problem kiddo...I'll let you get ready." She left my room and I went to shower. I shaved my legs and everything. By the time I got out it was 4 and I was starving. I went downstairs to eat something.
After I finished I went back up to my room. I decided to do my hair first. I curled it and then pinned it back with a diamond flower pin. I then did my makeup. I did a smokey eye for my makeup. I also added red lipstick. Now it was time for the dress. I put it on and my mom helped zip it up. It was about 5:30 so I had time to skype Nicole really quick.
"Hey Coley! How do I look?" I did a model walk included some poses.
"Oh my fucking word! You look like you should be a magazine!!" I smiled and went to sit down by the computer. "When is that baker boy coming to get you?"
"In 15minutes. I just wanted you to see me all dolled up."
"Well you look stunning." She quickly snapped a picture of me. I got notifications from facebook, twitter, and instagram. I knew that she posted the pic she took.
"So what are you doing today? Anything fun?"
"Probably not...mom and dad are gone on business...maybe I'll go lay out by the pool or something."
"That's fun I guess...why don't you go hang with Amy?"
"I don't want to move..." I should've figured that her laziness was the reason she was spending her Saturday in her empty house. There was a knock at the door.
"That's probably Haz...I got to go. But I will call you later! Or tomorrow sometime! Love you Coley!"
"Love you too Ging." I closed the laptop and went to open my door.
There stood Harry in a nice suit. He looked fucking gorgeous. His lovely curls were swept up. And he really did good with his suit, His tie was black but he had a red rose pinned on his lapel. He stood there gaping at me. Which made me feel pretty good. "I...you...you...just wow."
"Thanks you too." My mom came over and welcomed Harry in while I went to grab my shoes. I came back down and Harry eyes quickly went over to me, he gave a red rose to wear on my wrist just like the one he's wearing. I smile up at him and get a bit more excited for this dance.
"Oh Clarissa! Come on lets go outside to take pictures!" My mom was already dragging out her camera equipment. This is probably how one of her dreams plays out.
"Okay mom." I grabbed Harry's hand and pulled him outside with me.
Niall's POV
My mom dragged me outside to take pictures. I don't know why considering I didn't have a date. The only girl I wanted to take is going with Harry. Although Clary thought I should've asked Becky...but no thank you.
When we got outside I saw Clary and Haz taking pictures. I didn't even hear Clary's mom call us over to take pictures with them. I was too busy staring at Clary. God she looked like a fucking angel. Then my mind flicked to last night when she was curled up on me. I replayed that over and over again today.
Haz gave me a weird look, which snapped me from my daydream of ripping off Clary's and just doing her right there. "Clary why don't you take a picture with Niall?!"
"Uh...okay Maura." Wait what? I don't think I could do that...that means I would have to stand close to her and maybe put my hand on the small of her back. Just breath Niall.
But I didn't object so here we are standing just like that. My arm around her waist and hers around mine. Both of our mom's take about 10 pictures until my mom asks for one with Haz. So naturally we make funny faces. Clary was laughing at us. "Alright I suppose we should let them go huh Maura?"
"Yes I suppose...you kids have fun okay? Oh and the house will be all to yourselves afterwards but I will be right next door. Alex and I are having a girls' night."
"Okay mum...I'll text ya when everyone gets there."
"Okay Niall. You all have so much fun!" They disappeared into Clary's house whispering about God knows what...probably about me and Clary. That's all my mom talks about it seems like.
"You're hanging out with Clary tonight again? She's really pretty...and so kind...like her mother in that regard." Sorry mum but she's with Haz now...
I was heading over to my car when I heard Clary yell "See you in a bit birthday buddy!" I looked back at her. She was smiling from ear to ear. Damn she looked gorgeous. I just waved and got into my car. Okay focus. You cannot shoot Haz death glares during the dance okay. Just be cool. I made it to the school before they did. I got out of the car and Louis and Ellie come rushing over. "Niall you look so nice!"
"Thanks Ellie...you too. Lovely dress." Louis just looked at me. "I'm not hitting on Ellie calm down."
"I knew you weren't psh." I laughed and slugged him in the arm. I heard a squeal and saw Lilly running over in a fun dress. Totally suited her. Then I saw Perrie and Zayn park and come over towards us.
"Well everyone is here minus Liam and the lovebirds." I winced at that last part. Then I saw Liam's car come in and right behind his was Haz's.
"Well speak of the devils here they are." Zayn waved them over. Clary stepped out and Liam's jaw hit the ground. Haz shot him a glare and quickly grabbed Clary's waist. They all came over. Lilly squealed again when she saw Clary. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. Louis whispered in my ear "You're drooling mate."
"Shut it Tommo." Louis just chuckled to himself. We all walked into the dance. I stayed away from Clary because I didn't want to do anything stupid. It was only going to be a few hours anyways so it won't be that bad.
Clary's POV
We've been at the dance for about 2.5 hours. Harry went to go to the bathroom and then go get us drinks. I was standing by Niall, who looked straight up irresistible in his suite. He was shifting uncomfortably next to me. He has been acting really weird since we got into the dance. "Are you okay Niall?"
"Huh? Oh yea just fine." I looked at him but then I heard my name. I look and see Nate walking over.
"Clary wow look at you stunning. Like a vision."
"Thanks Nate."
"Where's your date? Off snogging with another girl?" WHAT? Why would he even say that to me?
"No he had to pee and then he's getting us drinks." I said it a bit harshly...but I mean really...
"And Niall here gets to babysit you?"
"We were talking before Harry left so I am just waiting with Niall until Harry gets back." I looked over at Niall who was clenching his fists. I don't understand why they all just can't get along. Where the hell was Harry? I felt so awkward. I was scanning the crowd for curly brown hair. Nothing. Where the fuck were these bathrooms. "That was a nice match yesterday Clary. You were stellar."
"Oh thanks Nate. I didn't know that you went."
"Of course I did. I wouldn't have missed it." I smiled at him and looked at the drink line for Harry. Nothing.
I turned to Niall. "Niall could you go look for Harry...he's been gone a while. I'll wait here."
"And leave you with him? I don't think so."
"Niall just go I'll be fine okay? Jeez." He glared at Nate but left anyways. I watched as his blonde hair slowly disappeared. I miss him already. I shouldn't miss him...hell I missed Niall more than Harry.
"Good I thought he was never going to leave." I rolled my eyes at Nate.
"Nate why can't you just get along with him? You used to be friends with him."
"People change Clary. How about a dance while we wait huh?"
"Sure I guess so. But only one." He smiled at me and lead me out to the dance floor. I looked back to make sure that Harry didn't show up and found me gone. But he still was nowhere.
Niall's POV
I was going to kill Haz when I found him. Why would he just ditch Clary? I spotted him in line. "Haz where the hell have you been?"
"Dude you wouldn't believe the lines. I literally had to wait 5 minutes to pee. Now I have been standing here for a good 5 minutes as well. Clary isn't mad is she? Hey you were supposed to wait with her!" He glared at me.
"Yea well she sent me to look for you. Therefore she is right now with Nate. So way to go." I crossed my arms and just glared back at him.
"You left her with Lukas?! Go back now! Tell her I'll be there in like 5 minutes."
"Fine." I left him and it took me like 3 minutes to get back to the spot were I thought I left Clary at. I looked around. Shit this was not happening. Where the hell was she? Then I spotted her, she was trying to get away from Nate. She locked eyes with me and mouthed 'Help'. I noticed that Nate was getting a little to frisky. Like he was practically trying to rape her on the dance floor. Well not really but his hands were sliding up her dress. Hell to the fucking no. I ran over there and punched him directly in the face, causing him to get a bloody nose and stagger away from Clary. She ran over and hugged me. I wrapped my arms around her. "You okay?"
"Yes I am fine. Although you didn't need to punch him Niall." I laughed. I let her go and saw the principal walking over. Haz was with him with a confused yet understanding look on his face.
"Niall Horan what exactly do you think you were doing?" Please no detention Coach would kill me.
"Protecting a friend sir. Nate was taking advantage of her so she asked me to help. I know I shouldn't have punched him..." The principal sighed at me.
"All three of you need to leave now. Now Mr. Styles since Ms. Wolf is your date you can either leave with them or stay since you were not involved." Thank god no detention...pity that we are getting kick out though.
"I'll go with them I guess." Clary went over and hugged Haz and probably was apologizing.
Nate was escorted out. Some people were staring. But not a lot...hopefully this will all blow over before school Monday.
I just followed Haz and Clary out. I got into my car and slammed my head onto my steering wheel. Fuck my life. I punched him because I was so angry at Nate for touching my Clary like that. The sick part was that she wasn't even mine! Haz is probably angry at me now. At least Clary isn't. Man I always screw things up. I pulled into my driveway and Haz pulled up behind me. Clary jumped out of the car and just looked at me. They both walked over.
"Well I am going home to change and grab my stuff. I'll be back in like 20 minutes okay?" Haz and I just nodded. I watched at she made it safely inside her house.
We went inside mine. "So are you going to lie to me and say that you don't like her?" Haz was looking at me, waiting for a response.
"Listen Haz...I just I...no I won't lie to you anymore. Yea I have feelings for Clary and they have only gotten stronger the more time I spend with her."
"Its okay because in the car she told me that it would be easier if we were just friends. I think she likes you too." She told him that...wow. Wait so does that mean that I could...no I mean no I couldn't do that to Haz. I am stuck being friends with her.
"But Jesus Niall did you really have to punch him?" I cracked a smile at that.
"No I suppose not...I was just really angry." Haz just laughed at me and went to go change. I did the same thing. At least he wasn't mad at me. Wow. Tonight has been interesting that's for sure.
I woke up at 3pm and with a splitting headache. Shit, I have a slight concussion. Holy crap it kills. I rolled out of bed to shower.

So that's the end? They don't get back together and get married or have kids?!?!?!I'm very disappointed
