Standing Close To The Edge(Finished) by Danielle Palmer (the read aloud family txt) 📕

talk to someone you can always talk to me. And about Zayn. Give him time. I know he likes you he's just in denial.” I nodded and pull away. “Thank you so much.” He smiled and nodded before standing up and pulling me up to.
“Get some sleep.” He kisses my forehead and walks towards the door. I sigh and grabbed some pajamas from my suitcase and walked into the bathroom. I changed and brushed my hair. I felt a headache coming on so I walked back into my now empty room and to my suitcase. I grabbed ibuprofen and took so with my water of the bedside table. Slowly climbing into bed I realized how tired I really was. I don't even know how long I laid their before sleep consumed me.

“Time to get up!” Someone screamed while jumping up and down. I mumbled something into my pillow and pulled the blanket over my head. Another person ran in the room and joined in on the jumping. It seriously feels like there's an earthquake in my room. “Moe! Get up!” I knew it exactly who it was. Louis and Harry. The partners in crime. “Ok. Ok! I'm up!” I yelled sitting up. They stopped jumping and fell on my bed laughing. “Nice hair.” Harry laughed while messing it up even more. I moved his hand off my hair and got out of bed. I walked over to my suitcase and started trying to find an outfit for today. “No changing. It's movie and pajama day.” I smiled and nodded. That's why they're still wearing pajamas.
“Who all is doing it?” I asked, walking into my bathroom. I grabbed my hair brush and started brushing my hair, putting it in a bun on my top of my head. My makeup was still perfectly fine. They didn't answer so I peeked back into the room. They were still sitting on the bed but whispering to each other. I cleared my throat and they both looked up quickly. I walked over to the bed and sat back down. They looked at each other again before Harry answered “Us 3, Niall, Liam, Danielle, Zayn, and um Perrie?” He said her name like it was a question. “Yay.” I said sarcastic. This is just what I needed. To see Zayn with another girl. Louis obviously knew I liked him to cause they both felt bad but there's nothing we can do. There was knocking on my door and we all yelled 'come in' at once. Niall peeked is head in the door. I could tell he was still in his pajamas to.
“Movie's ready and so is the food.” We all nodded our head and followed him back out the door. I was the last one out so I closed the door behind me. That's when I realized I only had a tank on so I ran back in my room and grabbed a long sleeve gray shirt that matched my black sweat pants. I walked out my room and closed the door before walking into the living room. Harry was on the chair, Liam and Danielle were on one couch, while Louis and Niall were on the other couch. Zayn and Perrie were already cuddled up on the floor sharing popcorn. I watched in disgust as she feed him the popcorn and then kissed his nose. Louis grabbed my hand and pulled me on the couch in the middle of him and Niall.
“What movie are we watching?” I asked no one particular. “Grease. Mine and Louis favorite movie.” Niall answered. My smiled widened. “I love-” I started to say but Perrie cut me off by turning up the TV. I clenched my fist together and sighed. There was nothing I hate more then getting cut off. I heard the movie stop and I looked up saw Liam had paused it. “What were you saying?” He asked. I smiled at him and shook my head. “Just saying it was my favorite movie to.” Liam nodded and pushed playing allowing the movie to begin. The whole movie me, Louis, and Niall sang along to all the songs. Perrie asked if we would stop but we ignored her and continued. Liam and Danielle joined in on the last song and we all laughed as the end credits began. “I'll be right back.” Zayn said getting up and going towards the bathroom.
“I wish for my school graduation they would let us have a fair.” I said. Louis agreed and said it would be cool. “Did you even graduate?” I looked over at Perrie. She was looking back at the TV but I could clearly see her smirking. “Excuse me?” I slowly stood up and she mimicked my movement. “I thought you got your G.E.D? What to stupid to finish school?” I tried to step towards her but someone wrapped their arms around my waist. “You don't know anything about me!” I yelled at her. Her smiled grew wider as I struggled to get out of their grasp. “Oh really? So you aren't poor? You don't live on your own? You're just using them for their money. Admit it.” Finally they let me go and I launched myself at her. One punched to the nose and I knew I broke it. I felt myself being pick up and pulled out the room.
I got out of their grasp and walked into my room. I shook my hand to relieve the pain. “Why did you do that?!” I already knew who it was. Of course he's pissed at me. “She deserved it!” I yelled turning to Zayn. “She asked you a question. You didn't have to punch her in the face!” I don't think I've ever seen him so mad. “You weren't there! She said I'm using you! She was making fun of me!” I yelled back. He sighed and scratched the back of his neck. “At least apologize to each other.” I sighed and said whatever but followed him back into the living room. Everyone was out there except Perrie. “Wheres Perrie?” Zayn asked. “She's in your bathroom on the phone.” Zayn looked at me and I put my hands up in surrender. “I'm going.”
I walked back down the hall and to Zayn's room. The door was shut so I carefully opened it. I didn't see her any where so I walked to the closed bathroom door. I could tell she was on the phone but I could only hear her end. I quickly pulled out my phone and started recording. “It's only going to be a few more days than I'll break up with him... I had him post it on twitter. Millions of people saw it... Yeah an agency wants to meet up tomorrow than were going to talk about signing us... Trust me it's worth it... Ok I'll call you guys after and let you know. Bye!” That bitch. I ended the recording and quietly ran out the room. I sat on the couch and everyone looked at me. Before I could say anything I heard Zayn's door shut and Perrie walking down the hall.
“Do you want to tell him or should I?” I said looking at my nails as she walked into the room. “What are you talking about?” I looked at her in disbelief. “You don't care if you hurt him do you?” Zayn looked at me curiously. I felt bad about him having to find out like this but she needed to be put in her place. “Of course I do. What are you talking about?” Everyone looked just as confused as Zayn. Even Perrie was putting up a good front. No wonder Zayn didn't catch on. I pulled out my phone and started the recording. When it was over Danielle launched herself at Perrie but Liam got her just in time. “Get her out before I do.” Niall grabbed her stuff while Louis and Harry escorted her out. Zayn sat on the couch next to me and put his head in his hands. “Zayn. I'm sorry.” I said putting my arm around him.
He didn't move or talk. He didn't even acknowledge I was there. “I guess I deserve this.” I sighed and scooted away from him. “I just didn't want you to fall more in love with her and then find out. I'm really sorry. I can't believe someone could be so heartless.” The next thing I knew his lips were against mine. I struggled for a second but gave up and melted into him. Millions of things were running through my head at once. Is this the right thing? No! He just broke up with his girlfriend but it feels so right. Does he even like me? Or is he just using me? It makes no sense. If he liked me like I like him he wouldn't have been with Perrie in the first place. That reason right there made me pull away. He looked at me confused as I stood up. “I-I can't do this.” He went to grab my arm but I quickly moved. “What do you mean?” I stepped backwards and shook my head.
“You just broke up with your girlfriend!” I didn't wait for his reply and walked towards the door throwing on my high top gray converse. I opened it and 5 people fell to the floor all on top of each other. I should have known they were ease dropping. I stepped over them and walked down the hall way. “Moe! Wait!” Just as the elevators were about to close someone stopped them and walked in. “I just want to be alone.” I muttered and leaned my head against the side of the small box. “Moe. I told you if you need to talk come to me.” I looked up at him and shook my head. “Exactly Harry. I don't need to talk. I just- Ugh!” I hide my face so he couldn't see my tears. I don't get how one person could make me cry so much and still like him. Maybe even love him. I felt myself being pulled to somebody and arms wrapped around me.
“It's ok love.” One hand drew circles in my back while the other ran fingers through my hair. It made me almost forget where we are. “We should probably get out of the elevator.” He laughed and grabbed my hand, pulling me out. I followed him out towards the lobby doors. There wasn't as many fans but still a good amount. Once they saw Harry the screaming began. His smile grew wider as we walked closer. You could tell easily how much he loves his fans. It felt like my eardrums were going to burst as soon as the door open. We walked down the path. Harry stopped a couple times to take pictures or sign stuff. I even signed a couple things. “You guys are so cute together!” Someone in the crowd shouted making everyone else scream 'Yeah's' and 'Awww'. I looked at Harry and he look equally disgusted. He was like a brother to me.
“No! We're not dating!” It seemed like they were to focused on taking pictures and didn't hear me. I hope at least one person did so they could tell other people. Harry started walking down the street and I followed after him. He still had his dark green pajama bottoms on with a black shirt on. He stopped suddenly causing me to crash into him. He chuckled and pushed me into a door, following closely behind. The fresh aroma of food hit my nose making me droll. “Table for 2.” The hostess nodded and motioned for us to follow her. The place was almost empty. There was only one of couple sitting on the other side of the restaurant. A waiter came over asking what we wanted to drink. I got
