So this is dedicated to the real life Hailee-- aka Hannah ( Hannah_Banana27 ) :) You will see why. And I know the song actually has nothing really to do with the chapter but this is the song Hannah would always random sing whenever she burst out into song. SOOOO YA!!!!
Little White Lies
"I don't care if you don't like the clothes, you can't just not wear them! You have to wear something! Now put on the damn pants and meet me outside!" I yell into the room Harry has locked himself into with the clothes he is supposed to be wearing. That boy needs to realize, clothes are a necessity some--if not most--of the time. I leave him to figure himself out and walk into the hallway.
"Louis?! What are you doing?!" I cry as I see Louis trying to rub the dirt from the bottom of his shoes over the white fabric covering his feet.
"They are bran-spanking new, it looks weird!" he cries back.
I look at him with wide eyes. "You're so stupid! STOP!" I say still looking at him with disbelief. "Okay, whatever, we need to get over to the studio for your interview. Lou says she'll do your hair over there so let's go!" I yell at all the boys standing in front of me.
"What about Harry?" Liam asks.
I groan. "Harry! If you don't get your ass out here this second I swear to god I will straighten your hair while you sleep!"
It takes less than ten seconds for him to come out of the room. He is still pouting and walking slowly but at least he has the right clothes--or any clothes, for that matter--on.
"Great! We are ready to go!" I say.
Finally, Paul is able to get the boys in the car and we are off to the studio. I am sitting in the front seat next to Paul, with the rest of the boys in the back, so I decide it's a perfect time to text Hailee about having her come to visit.

From: Hails

From: Avey
how would you like to come visit me and the boys?
When she doesn't answer right away, I get a bit worried she may have fainted, until I hear her ring tone sound throughout the car. Crap. It was a One Direction ring tone I made for her from the video for their perfume 'That Moment'. It's the part where the French dude is petting Niall's head, singing, "It's okay, Mr. Niall." So yeah... the boys are giving me weird looks.
"It's Hailee. I just asked her if she wanted to visit. She's probably just freaking out," I laugh nervously as I explain to Paul.
I was about to press the 'end' button when Paul said, "Why don't you answer it and she can talk to the boys?"
"Really?" He just nods his head.
"Ok..." I press the answer key, putting it on speaker, and wait for Hailee's voice to come from the device.
When it finally does, its a blood curtailing screech.
"Hailee! Stop screaming! You're on speaker!" I shout, my face red from embarrassment.
"AVERY! WHY DID YOU PUT ME ON SPEAKER?!" she yells.
"Paul said to answer the phone and the boys could talk to you! CALM DOWN!"
"This is unacceptable! I need to see your face when I yell at you! ONE SEC!" she screams. I don't know what she means until I get a FaceTime request from her. I answer and wait for her face to buffer on the small screen.
"OMG HEY HOMIE I MISS YOU!" she cries through the device.
"HI!!! I miss you too! It's so good to see your face!" I smile back at her.
She smiles before her face goes serious. Here we go. "Now where were we? Oh yeah! I was yelling at you for putting me on speaker! You knew I'd be fangirling the minute you answered! Why would you let them hear that?!"
"It's not my fault, Hails! You're the stupid one who had to go screaming into the phone when you knew I was in the car with them! Even if it wasn't on speaker they could probably still hear you!"
"It is too your fault!"
"How?!" I cry.
"You asked me to come visit you while you were in the car with them! You know me well enough to know this was going to happen! You dingbat!"
"You're the dingbat!"
"No, you're the dingbat! I already called you a dingbat! You can't call me a dingbat! You're already the dingbat, dingbat!"
"If I want you to be a dingbat, you are a dingbat, dingbat!" The dingbat...
"I need one of the boys numbers so I can text them to slap you for me!"
"Well, just for that, I'm not giving it to you!"
"I'll come over there and slap you myself then!"
"Oh yeah right! That's what I was calling for!" I say finally remembering to ask her. "Would you want to come visit?!"
She sits there staring at me with the same look she always gives me when I do something stupid. "Duh, stupid. That's the reason this whole thing started in the first place! YES!" she squeals, ending with her face finally in a smile.
"YES! I am so excited for you to meet the boys! They're kinda obnoxious but you get used to it."
It's then that I hear a cough from the back seat. I look around and see all the boys--including Paul--staring at me with incredulous eyes. I totally forgot they're here. I just had that whole conversation with Hailee in front of them. Well, crap.
"I'm so sorry guys, I totally forgot you were in the car!" I laugh slightly at the ridiculousness--and awkwardness--of the situation.
"AVERY MARIE WILLIAMS! I'm still on speaker?!"
I turn back to Hailee, "Yes you dingbat. You're on FaceTime! What do you expect?!"
I turn back to the boys again. They are looking at me a little concerned. I huff and bring the phone over so they can see Hailee on the screen.
"Guys, meet my best friend in the entire world no matter how insane she seems--and is--Hailee Jackson."
They all smile and wave awkwardly.
"Nice to meet you," Louis speaks up.
"Hi Louis! Oh my gosh, just so you know, you were always Avery's favorite!" she yells and my face feels like a tomato. "She always loved the stupid carrot thing you did!" Once she says that I decide it is time for her to go. I put my hand over the speaker and bring her back to me.
"Okay! That's enough for now, Hails!" I scream at her.
"Don't leave me!"
"We are almost at the studio," I lie. We still have a good twenty minutes before we get there since there is so much traffic.
"Okay... fine... Bathtub?" she asks me.
I roll my eyes and smile at her. "Bathtub."
And with that I end the call. I sit in my seat for a second, collecting my thoughts and taking a deep breath, before turning around to face the boys.
"So that was Hailee!" I smile.
"Bathtub?" Harry asks me, incredulously.
"It's a long story. Friendship saying, kind of thing," I explain hastily.
"Okay..." he says still confused and a tad weirded out.
"Sorry about that you guys. We uh... have a unique relationship."
"I can see. You guys are funny," Niall laughs.
"Funny's one word for it..." I trail off.
Now if that is on the phone, I'm terrified how things will go when Hailee is actually here in person...
