Chapter~ 5 'Truth OR Dare?'

   My eyes fluttered open after what seemed like forever. The room was spinning round and round and my whole body felt numb. However, I recovered in a few seconds.

''She's awake,'' I heard a voice say.

''Izzy!'' In the speed of lightning, my best friend was hugging me.

''W-where am I?'' I asked, confused. I realized that I was in a very familiar room, on a double chair.

   A smile appeared on Jess' face. She slowly stood up, grinning from ear to ear.

''You're in Starbucks.''

Well, I should've known. But the darkness didn't help.

Jessica stood aside, revealing the five boys who I fell head over heels for. The boys who have angelic voices that make me swoon. One Direction.

''Don't freak out. Or faint, again. Please!'' She panicked.

I didn't. I just shook my head, speechless.

   I'm in the same room as my dream boys. In the same room as my knights in shining armor. It's a dream come true.

''Hey, love,'' Louis greeted me with a smile.

''Hey,'' I replied, smiling shyly.

''How are you feeling?'' Liam's voice set a crowd of existing butterflies inside my stomach free.

''I felt dizzy. But now, I can never be better.'' I grinned. They all smiled back.

''What happened?''

''Well, the fans were running behind us, deafening our ears. But luckily, we found this coffee shop and ran into the backdoor while the bodyguards took care of them. Then, lights were switched on and we saw you holding a gigantic spoon, making Liam scream in horror,'' Zayn replied and I blushed.

''I'm so sorry about that!'' I apologized, looking at Liam.

''I'm fine, don't worry. That's not important, anyways. Are you sure you're okay?" Why is he so incredibly sweet? I hate how fast my heart is beating right now.

''I've never been better, I promise.'' I gave him a reassuring smile, which he gave me back.

"How long were you guys waiting for me?" I asked.

"Fifteen minutes, I guess," Niall said after checking his phone.

"Gosh, sorry for keeping you waiting," I apologized once again.

''It's fine. We had to wait anyways," Harry said. "The fans are still screaming outside.''

   I wonder how the boys feel about all this. It must be stressful having fans following you everywhere.

''I'm hungry,' Niall whined. This boy never changes, does he? ''I want food.'' I let out a soft giggle.

I guess he doesn't change.

''What?'' Niall asked me.

''N-nothing. It's just that you're always hungry.'' I was now laughing aloud, and soon, everyone was laughing along.

   Half an hour later, Harry suggested playing Truth or Dare. We all agreed and sat on the floor in an unorganized circle. Louis started spinning the bottle and we all waited for it to stop.

''Wait, guys, before we start playing. We've got to put rules for this game, since none of you plays it maturely. Rule number one: No bad dares, Harry,'' Liam stated, looking at Harry. ''Rule number two, no prank calling. I'm sure you remember what happened the last time we played this. It ended up pretty bad. Paul won't leave us this time.''

   This is Daddy Direction speaking, ladies and gentlemen. It's typical Liam James Payne.

"Paul's our manager," Niall whispered to me.

"I know that." I whispered back, giggling softly.

"Do we all agree to this?" Liam asked. We all nodded in agreement.

The bottle was spinning for the second time today.

''Hazza, Truth or Dare?'' Louis asked.

''Truth,''

Louis smiled at him evilly, rubbing his hands. ''Girl you fancy?''

''Um, dare?" Harry hesitated.

''That might be even worse, so no going back. Spit it out.''

''Her name is, um, Delilah.'' The boys exchanged smiles.

''Have I seen her before?'' Louis asked.

''Well, no. But maybe she could meet you guys. She'd love to meet you all." Harry looked so happy.

''Yeah, we could introduce you guys to Eleanor, too,'' Louis agreed.

''Perrie as well,'' Zayn followed.

''That would be amazing!'' I said, excitedly. This day just keeps on getting better.

''Okay. Now, the game,'' Harry said, trying to contain a smile (which failed, hopelessly).

''So, Isabella, Truth or Dare?'' Liam asked me.

''Um, dare,' I answered. I obviously don't want to be asked the same question as Harry.

''I dare you-" He paused, thinking. "To sing one of our songs.''

''Err-'' I looked at Jessica. She gave me a reassuring smile. ''Sure,'' I replied, nervously.

''What are you going to sing?'' Niall asked.

''More Than This. My favorite.'' I smiled.

After taking a deep, shaky breath, I started singing.

''I'm broken

Do you hear me

I'm blinded

Cause you are everything I see

I'm dancing, alone

I'm praying

That your heart will just turn around

And as I walk up to your door

My head turns to face the floor"

I continued singing with so much emotion and love.

"When he open his arms

And holds you close tonight

It just won't feel right

Cause I can love you more than this

When he lays you down, I might just die inside

'Cause it just won't feel right

Cause I can love you more than this

Can love you more than this''

   My eyes fluttered open. My eyebrows furrowed in response to my confusion. I saw jaw dropped, open eyed faces. Except for Jessica, who was smiling widely. The confusing part is, am I that bad? Or are they surprised? And is Jessica smiling because I sounded funny and she's holding in her laugh? Or is she happy and impressed?

Maybe luck wasn't by my side this time.
