EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED (PART 1)

Macy's POV:

You're too excited, you can hardly wait to tell your best friend Harry this big news. You decide to go to his place to tell him. When you knock on the door, he immediately opens it.

"Hey,I got your text, what's the big news?" He smiles big, and gives you a friendly hug. "I'll tell you, calm down a bit!" You say, laughing at him being over-enthusiastic. "Okay, so... I finished my album!"
"No way! Really? Wow, that's great Mace, I'm so proud of you!" He jumps up and gives you a very tight hug.

"Thanks Haz! But ehm... Could you stop crushing me to death?" "Oh sure, sorry, I got a bit carried away, I guess..." He laughs and winks at you.

"Here, I brought you a copy", I say. "Wow, I like the cover, it looks really great! I'm so happy for you, Macy, congratulations!"

"Congratulations on what?"
Niall and Louis walk in. "Oh, er... Macy just finished a big promotion at work!", Harry said quickly.

I never told the other lads I was a musician, because I didn't want them to help me & take advantage of their fame. Harry was the only one who knew, because we had been friends since we were like, 9 years old. "Oh, that's great, Macy!" "I never really found out what you actually do for living", Louis said. "Oh, it's nothing special, just a boring job at an office." "Oh well, congrats anyways!", they both said & hugged me.

"Congrats on what?" Now, Liam and Zayn walked in.
"Macy got a promotion at work!", Niall said. "Oh, that's great!" Zayn gave me a big hug. Liam didn't, he just said: "Congrats Macy" I don't know why, but Liam and I never really talked a lot, and I didn't much about him. He always seemed a little annoyed when I was at the boys' house.

Then, Niall said: 'We're gonna grab some Nandos, wanna come?" "No thanks, Niall, me and Macy are going to have a drink to celebrate.", Harry said. "Okay, have fun!"

They all hugged me again, and told me they were proud of me. That's what I loved so much about them, they were always so nice.

Harry and I walked to the pub across the street. "So tell me, why do you still don't want me to tell the guys that your job is actually making music?"
"Like I said before, I don't want them to see me differently, and I don't want to take

advantage of your fame." "But we could help you!", he said. I would love to help you."

"I know, and I think that's really sweet, but your fans would hate us all for it, and people would think I'm only successful because of you guys..." "Okay, maybe you're right..."

"I really wish I didn't have to lie to them, though, they tell me everything." "Yeah, they do.." "Well, except for Liam. Do you know if I did something wrong to him?" "No, why?", he looked surprised. "I don't know, he never really talks to me, and he seems kind of irritated when I'm around."

"He never mentioned anything about it to me..."
"Of course not, he knows we're best friends!" "You got a point there... I'll ask him about tomorrow. But don't worry about it, you're probably just imagining." He put his arms around me. "Thanks Harry, you're a really good friend."

"No problem, and you know I'm always there for you." He winked. "But I have to go now, I'm going to listen to your album!" "Okay, haha! Make sure the lads don't find out!" "They won't, I promise!" We hugged each other, and then we both walked into a different direction.
