Chapter 10: Stormy Nights
27 June 2014 - 00:07
"Hello is anyone there?" The driver, who Niall had found out his name was Oliver Finch shouted as he banged the door of the cafe.
The doors opened quickly.
"Get inside!" someone shouted.
They ran inside the cafe and the person closed the door.
"Thank you. We were on the road when we heard about the storm. Camping out in a car wasn't the best idea.
"You bet your ass it's not the best idea. I'm Ken Fredericks." He said.
"I'm Oliver and this is Niall."
"Nice to meet you." Niall said.
"I recognise you from the tv. You're in that band One Direction." Ken said.
The café wasn't full of people like they thought it would be.
The only people in the café besides Niall, Oliver and Ken was some man in a business suit, a girl who was busy trying to make a phone call and a guy listening to music on his phone.
"Would you guys like some tea, coffee anything? It's on the house." Ken said.
"Some tea would be great thank you." Niall said.
"Coffee please." Oliver said.
Oliver had started a conversation with Ken while he was making the drinks.
Niall looked around and saw that the only person who wasn't busy right now was the girl who was trying to make a phone call.
"I should probably call the lads and tell them I'm going to be stuck here for a while." Niall said to Oliver who nodded in agreement.
Niall took out his phone but before he could make the call he saw the words 'No Service' on the screen.
"Uhm Ken." Niall asked.
"Do you have a phone I can borrow?" Niall asked hopefully.
Ken took out his phone and showed it to Niall. His phone also had 'No Service' in bold letters on the screen.
"You can use my phone." A voice said from behind them.
"Thanks Lily." Ken said.
"I used my phone just a few seconds ago it still works." Lily said.
"Thanks." Niall said.

Southern Feast Restaurant, New Orleans
When Louis and Eleanor went on their date they didn't expect to be trapped in the place by a storm.
Just like Niall they were stuck inside a food establishment.
"It's cold..." Eleanor said rubbing her arms.
"No it's not. It's actually kind of hot." Louis replied.
"Hot? That's a joke right?"
"No this time I swear I'm not making a joke." Louis said waving his hands in front of him defensively.
Eleanor who was sitting down, got up and walked around the table and put her ice cold hand on Louis neck.
"Whaaaa!" Louis shouted and jumped out of his seat.
"Were you playing in the freezer or something?" Louis asked rubbing his neck.
"Where would I find time to do that?" Eleanor asked.
"I don't know?" Louis said.
"What do you know Louis?"
"I know that I love you." Louis said pulling her into a hug.
"I love you too." She replied.
"You're so cold. Really what were you doing?" Louis asked and they both laughed.
West Gate Hotel, New Orleans
"Hey I thought you went to sleep." Liam asked as he walked in from the balcony.
"I can't sleep."
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"Twitter. Trying to find out if there were any One Direction sightings, you know so we can find out where they are staying. That sounds so weird 'One Direction Sightings' like you're a bunch of aliens or something." She said.
"So did you find anything?"
"Actually yes I did." Jill said pointing to the screen.
LilyXO
OMG I'm stuck with Niall Horan at Java Hut because of the storm. God please let it storm forever. Hour even borrowed my phone!
There was a picture attached to the tweet it was of her and Niall.
Southern Feast Restaurant, New Orleans
Niall was sitting at a table with Lily.
"So how did you get stuck here?" Lily asked.
"I was on the road when we heard the radio telling us about the storm. Does this happen a lot here?"
"New Orleans is famous for it's hurricanes." Lily said.
"We're just lucky this isn't a hurricane."
"I know this will sound bad but I an so happy about this storm. If it didn't storm you wouldn't have gotten stuck here and I wouldn't have met you." Lily said.
"Here you go." Ken said setting their drinks on the table.
"Thanks." They said.
All of a sudden there was a huge thunder strike. It scared Lily and she jumped up from her seat. Hitting the table. That their drinks were on.
Lily's tea got spilled all over Niall's t-shirt...
"Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot!" Niall said as he did a little dance because the tea was still hot.
"Oh my god I'm so sorry." Lily said she ran to another table grabbed a bunch of napkins and wiped Niall's t-shirt.
She was busy wiping his t-shirt and he was just looking at her.
She looked up and saw Niall staring at her. She blushed and stopped what she was doing immediately.
"It's fine really." Niall said and laughed.
Lily stepped back and slipped on the tea that landed on the floor. She fell on the table and the cupcakes that were on the table flew up.
Niall caught one, while the rest fell on Lily covering her in icing.
"Great..." Lily said slowly."
Niall had finished eating the cupcake he caught.
He pulled another one off Lily's t-shirt.
Niall wiped some of the blue icing off her shirt sleeve and ate it.
"You're just as sweet as the cupcakes." Niall said taking a bite of the cupcake.
Lily blushed and sat down. On the seat that was covered with tea.
Lily jumped up.
"Oh could this get any worse." Lily asked.
Just a second after she said that, the storm caused a huge hole to open in the roof drenching the two of them in water.
"I just had to ask..." She said.
Just then a One Direction song started playing on the radio. It was 'Viva La Vida'
Niall saw that after what just happened, Lily wasn't the happiest person in the world.
He held out his hand to her. She took it and they started dancing.
When it came to Niall's solo in the song he sang it while they danced.

The happy couple were sitting on the top of the backrest of the couch that people sat on when they were waiting for a table.
Louis and Eleanor were busy looking out the window when a huge thunder strike scared them so much they fell over the couch.
"Well that was fun." Eleanor said.
"Yeah let's do it again." Louis said popping up.
"How about no." She replied.
Louis stood up and helped Eleanor to her feet.
"Hey look this place has a Karaoke bar." Louis said.
"Then go on sing...it's what you're good at. Besides you have a beautiful voice." Eleanor said.
"Thanks babe, but you're not getting out of it that easily." Louis said and grabbed her hand as they walked to the karaoke stage.
"Louis come on. I don't want to disturb anyone here."
"Babe, the only people here are us, that couple that's been kissing for the past half hour and the staff here."
Louis stood on the stage and switched the machine on.
"Oh Eleanor..." He said pointing to the mic.
"Oh no Louis please."
"Don't make me come and get you." Louis said.
"Fine but then I get to pick what song you sing." Eleanor said.
"Deal." Louis replied and they shook hands.
Eleanor walked up to the stage and the song 'Unconditionally' by Katy Perry started. Eleanor started singing. While she sang the restaurant staff, which consisted of 2 waiters, the manager and the people who washed dishes came out and watched.
When Eleanor's song was over one of the waiters got on the stage and started singing.
When it was finally Louis' turn, Eleanor had already set the song he should sing.
Knowing Eleanor, Louis thought she was going to make him sing a Beyoncé song or something.
But it was actually KT Tunstall - Suddenly I See.
"Eleanor for a second there I thought you were going to make me sing something embarrassing."
"I was going to at voice is too nice for you to embarrass yourself with."
"Thanks babe." He said.
The song started and so did Louis. He sang the song perfectly.
When the song finished Louis stepped off the small stage.
"Hey look the rain isn't heavy anymore." Eleanor said.
"Where are you staying here?" Louis asked her.
"At a hotel a few streets from here." She replied.
"What hotel?"
"West Gate Hotel." She replied.
"Well, from now you're staying with me at our hotel." Louis said.
"Aww that's sweet of you."
"Sweet of me?" I don't have any sweets on me." Louis said, turning her compliment into a joke.
"You know what I mean." She said.
"Have I told you how beautiful you look tonight?" Louis asked.
"Yes you did, more than once."
"Good so I can stop now." Louis said making them laugh.
"I can stop saying that so I can do this." He said as he leaned down and kissed her.

West Gate Hotel, New Orleans
Eleanor and Louis decided to sleep at the restaurant and come back here to fetch Eleanor's luggage.
Liam decides to get out of the room and walk around.
He walked down the hall and heard some laughing that he thought sounded familiar. He turned around and saw a couple walk into their room.
Eleanor and Louis walked into her room.
"Well this place is surprisingly clean." You should see my hotel room.
"Are you all sharing a room?" She asked.
"We all have our own rooms but we spend most of the time together in Zayn's room, because he has the biggest room." Louis said.
Eleanor quickly grabbed her two suitcases and as soon as she did Louis took both of them.
"It's a good thing you haven't unpacked yet."
They walked out of the room. And went into the elevator. As soon as they did Jill came out of her room.
Jill suddenly got an overwhelming feeling. She could sense one of the auras she was looking '.
"Liam!" Jill shouted and ran towards the elevator she pressed the button about ten times.
"What is it?" Liam asked running towards her.
"I can sense Louis' aura he's here. He was here." Jill said excitedly.
"That's great! Can you track him?" Liam asked.
"Yes, I can I can track him back to where they're staying." Jill said excitedly and jumped into Liam for a hug.
She let go, her face red.
"We should go Louis might still be here." Liam said.
"No, he got into a taxi with Eleanor and left about 48 seconds ago." Jill said.
"You can tell all of that just by reading his aura." Liam said.
"It's a gift."
"It really is."
Java Cafe, New Orleans
Niall woke up by the sound of his phone ringing.
"Hello." He said with a 'just woke up voice'.
"Niall, it's Will. I couldn't reach you guys earlier because of the storm. I just wanted to tell you, you've got a mall tour scheduled with the rest of the boys today at 10." Will said.
"Oh, I'll just go back to the hotel and change my clothes, they're covered in food." Niall said.
"That's all right. Before we go to the mall we're going to make a quick pit stop by the stylists. Louis had the same problem as you, he's heading here straight from Eleanor's hotel." Will explained.
"Niall, you're awake." Oliver said looking at him.
"Do you mind dropping me off somewhere?" Niall asked.
"That is my job sure let's go."
Niall walked over to where he was sleeping to grab his phone. He saw Lily fast asleep, sitting on a chair with her head on the table.
He grabbed a pen from a nearby table and quickly wrote something on a napkin and slid it under her hand.
'Thanks for letting me borrow your phone and for making me laugh so much last night. I honestly haven't met a person more clumsy than you. Thanks for the good times, Niall'
Before they left they thanked Ken.
All of the boys were in cars headed to the stylists. All of them. So Jill was going to track Louis to the mall and not their hotel and if they go to the mall they're going to get crowded by fans. Will Jill be able to find them?
