We had just come off of the stage, all of us were smiling and had exhilarated looks on our faces. All of us had been over excited and hyper on the stage, we all loved our new roles in society. Perhaps some more than others. Harry had rushed off to the dressing room in a panic, that he was sweaty before we went back out to meet our fans. We heard a girlish Harry like scream, so the four of us rushed back into the dressing room to find Harry surrounded by about five girls, his scream had also alerted security. There was a lot of fan mail and new letters on the dressing tables, now it seemed to be overflowing. As security took the drunk and overexcited girls out of our dressing room. I walked over to the dressing table. Being part of hotshot boy band one direction, did mean I loved, reading what and how much they loved us.
I picked up one letter, and opened the message; it had stuck on letters and said.
'you have everything and I have nothing. The love I have for you is more than the world overall. All five of you will marry me or else!',
To say I wasn't creeped out, would be a lie. I discreetly showed Lisa- we'd been told before what to look for in a stalkers note and this checked out in all boxes. Louis stole it from me and read it, he froze when he had obviously finished the note. Liam read over his shoulder and soon he had plucked it out of his fingers then Zayn and Harry were reading it, Liam and Harry were more worried about stalkers than any of us. They had adopted terrified and worried facial expressions. Lisa was our manager, and she was amazing! She always had a solution on her face.
"What do we do?" Harry asked, he was panicking. I knew myself I was freaking out, I knew that if anyone of us said anything our parents would immediately take back to our home towns. Lisa, started to calm Harry and Liam down, then said to us.
"this is the first note, we have received- if we get another we'll have to think about what to do in more detail. These things normally pass by with one tiny note, we'll have to wait for more to make active decisions" Lisa said, this did actually calm all of us. We went out to all our fans with a little hesitation trying not to show that anything was wrong. I was looking at the girls, they were mainly girls- anyone of these could have been the one who had sent that note. I looked at all the girls who kept screaming Niall, I gave them my best convincing smile.
When security finally ushered us towards our car, I was just about to get in when I saw something on the wheel, I pulled it off, it was another note.
'if I can't have you then no-one will'
I turned to some bleeping noise to which was what the note was stuck to, my eyes widened. Then it exploded. The next thing I know, is i'm on some kind of mattress, there's an annoying bleeping in one ear. My left arm is strapped to me in a strange an awkward inconvenience. I groaned, as the pounding in my head got stronger and made itself more prominent in my senses.
"Hey there sleeping beauty" Lisa said, from one side of my bed. I turned and opened my eyes slightly, sat beside her were my parents. They were smiling encouragingly. I groaned again, how long had I been out if my parents had time to get here from Ireland.
"how are you feeling?" My dad asked, his Irish accent thick.
"I have this pounding headache, and one side of my body is seriously constricted" I said to him. I looked down and saw why. My arm was in a sling. I groaned.
"What's the verdict?" I asked, Ma frowned.
"You hit your head pretty hard, and you have a fractured wrist, that cast will come off in a couple of weeks" I frowned, oh great. Not. That's when all four boys barrelled in, they grinned when they saw me awake.
"Hey, mate your awake!" Zayn said, he grinned and threw a chocolate bar at me, I used my fractured wrist to catch it, but then remembered. It's in a cast. They all laughed.
"You'll have to get better with the other arm" Louis grinned at me, they all jumped on the bed in a very lord of the rings fashion and each started talking at about a hundred miles per hour. I held my hands or hand up. They all ceased talking.
"How long have I been out?" I asked, Louis and Liam both said at the same time.
"Three days" my mouth dropped open.
"What about the tour?" I asked. They looked at me as if it was obvious.
"We called it off!" Zayn exclaimed.
"we can't go on without our song writer, it would be wrong and besides we only had three more left, we have refunded everyone who would have come" Harry said. I felt considerably guilty.
"What did you say?" I asked, Harry and Louis grinned at each other.
"Due to some crazed stalker, to who has harmed one of our band mates we are calling off the tour" they all said as a chorus. My parents chuckled.
"now, as your all awake, and present" Lisa winked at me. "I've come to a decision, to which all your parents have agreed on" she paused. "For the time being, until we can figure out who this idiot is; your all going into hiding" Lisa said. We all started to argue at once. She yelled for silence. "you know my, Cousin the one I'm always talking about?" she asked.
"The one, where your not in a photo without her?" Liam asked. She grinned.
"Right" she said. Louis turned his eyes to me, he wiggled his eyebrows. Lisa caught his look. She looked to me and back.
"What?" she asked. She gave me a look. "what?" she asked.
"he has a slight crush on her" Louis taunted. I shook my head at Lisa.
"I don't know her" I said, Lisa looked back to Louis.
"Okay, well he thought she was beautiful and wanted to meet her" Louis amended, he looked to me and dared me to argue. I opened, my mouth then decided I was to tired to argue. I made that known when I yawned, Ma ushering everyone out, when my headache told me to sleep and it would go away.
"So, I can totally introduce you to Sarah" Lisa winked at me and walked out. I smiled slightly, in every photo that Lisa had was of her and Sarah. Sarah had long Golden red hair to the mid of her back, she had crystal blue eyes. From what I saw she wasn't fat but she wasn't slim either, she favoured jeans and converse to barely there mini skirts and skanky heels. I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
A week later, we were heading up the drive to Sarah's house or at least her parents house. They had been briefed on the situation and were up for helping. Sarah, needed a little more convincing. Lisa, walked right in. not very safe. My sling was still very uncomfortable and I had itches on my arm I just couldn't reach it.
"Aunt Claire, we're here!" she whisper yelled, she obviously knew where Claire was. I heard a laugh. I looked towards the small round woman, who had long beautiful mud brown hair, not where Sarah gets her ginger from. She had glasses on and was wearing an apron. She dusted her hands so she could come greet us properly.
"Hello Mrs. Suttling" Harry said holding out his hand. She brushed him off and hugged him.
"None of that it's Claire" she grinned and hugged all of us. "I was just making some cookies" she smiled, she was slightly flustered which was obviously from being in the kitchen. Lisa suddenly took off for a room in the house.
"I call about five of them" Lisa called out gleefully. We looked at each other in confusion. Claire just laughed. She ushered us past, a living room, a toilet, the stairs another few closed doors until we reached a cluttered but large kitchen it was one of those cosy cottage kitchen's that were really lovely and you could really learn to love. The house overall was quite large. Lisa was there stuffing her face, she was making orgasm faces at the food.
"I'm telling you, food of the gods!" she exclaimed. I knew all five of us most definitely wanted to try some now. We all looked to Claire, secretly asking, she nodded over to eagerly. We all dived in, those cookies sure do melt in your mouth they were divine, I've never tasted food as good before. "How is Sarah turning to the news?" asked Lisa, she was bracing herself.
"If she wasn't so stubborn, I would say she was excited- but after what happened with JLS she did tell you she wasn't going to look after any of your bands anymore" Claire said, chuckling slightly.
"but Coldplay, Rizzlekicks and the wanted were fine, that was one incident. I'll go talk to her" Lisa said, shoving the cookie in her mouth.
"Why does Sarah have a choice?" Louie asked. Claire looked up, from her clearing and tidying up.
"Lisa didn't tell you? Well she never does, now wouldn't be any different." she said almost to herself "Sarah, knows exactly what your going through- she has become the best protector. Made it her mission to learn as many fighting styles as she could she can hold up in a fight. She's the best there is. Now we've never had a many as you we only have two extra rooms with two beds in each but there's enough space for me to put up an extra bed for one of you. Now up you go, go find Lisa, she will be in the second door to the left." she nodded and we smiled at her maternal nature, as she pushed us up the stairs, to the right there was a slight corridor to the right but there was only one door there, we looked left and there was large corridor up that way. We moved to the second door and heard voices from the other side.
"Lisa, I told you- after last time I'm not doing it again." an unknown voice said, I heard Lisa groan in annoyance.
"Sarah you're the best I know, these boys are not just my job but they have become my friends; if you don't do it for them do it for me." Lisa, had turned to begging. I had never heard her beg before, this sarah must be good- I looked up the hallway. The house was a semi large traditional English cottage that had managed to house a family of five and now us, and apparently Lisa stayed around a lot.
"But he'll be posing as my boyfriend?" Sarah asked desperately. Who? Who would be posing as her boyfriend?
"You out of both of us know that's better than saying they are staying with a bunch of strangers, because one almost got blown up; plus I know you have a soft spot for Niall" Lisa said, I secretly smiled, we were gonna walk in. we hadn't meant to eavesdrop. Promise…
"Blown up?… who almost got blown up?" Sarah demanded. She obviously hadn't heard.
"Niall" Lisa said somewhat calmly. I heard Sarah start, then stop to calm her breathing.
"Is he hurt?" She asked. She was taking deep breaths.
"A fractured wrist, a couple of security guards were hurt and a fan or two. They think it was a warning explosive as it didn't do that much damage" Lisa said. I heard Sarah grumble something under her breath about stupid security and not checking the cars properly. Her voice sounded as majestic as a slow swimming swan down a river on a summers day.
"I was there when the security checked the car, the car was waiting for ten minutes for them. This stalker had that much time to bug the car" Lisa said. I heard Sarah huff.
"What about school? My friends? You don't worry about my studies when you sign me up for these things?" Sarah asked, she had a point.
"Mr Crowe had no choice but to say they could attend school with you, and I know for a fact your friends have been horrible to you lately- you could do with some back up. Louis is twenty, he can help you with your studies" Lisa said.
"Exactly he is twenty, why on earth would he want to go to school with me? Huh? And thanks for the friend dig by the way, I've been feeling good about that." I almost laughed at the sarcasm and irony in her voice. "how on earth am I going to pass Niall off as my boyfriend if I can't even keep my friends?" she asked, I gasped- I was going to be the boyfriend. I secretly didn't mind she had been beautiful in all the photos I had seen. "I mean, I'm going to Cornwall this week- I spend all my time in the sea how am I going to be able to protect them?" she argued her point more. "Lisa, have you thought this through; at all?" Sarah stressed.
"Look Sarah, your thinking about this in too much detail. You'll find they are great friends, they'll co-operate; they are here to be protected against a stalker. You're the person I have chosen to look after them. You want to know why? Because I know it would be in the best interest of everyone these boys need to be protected, and you're the protection. They are going to be here until this stalker is found whether you like it or not" Lisa said with finality. I had never heard anyone argue with Lisa when she got this annoyed, Sarah didn't seem to care.
"You know, you and me are gonna fall out. This is that last one I am ever doing- and I'm only doing it because this stalker has already attacked and Niall got hurt." Sarah said. I could hear she wasn't happy. "has mum made cookies?" I heard change the subject so completely, she forgave Lisa so quickly? If I really didn't want to do something I wouldn't have forgiven her, probably had a huge tantrum- she was obviously too trusting.
"Thank you and yes, but the boys are down there so if you want one- run" Zayn quickly knocked on the door.
"Lisa, Mrs C sent us up" Harry called. The door opened, A small spaniel and a big ball of fluff flew out and started sniffing and licking the spaniel jumping about, the fluff turned out to be a chow; she had two dogs -and there stood Sarah- her thick golden hair reached her mid back it was slightly wavy on the verge of being curly.
"Well boys, looks like your stuck with me" she said, and smiled slightly. "I guess I better show you around, tomorrow we'll have to set up a interview to talk about what your doing next" Sarah explained. She pulled the spaniel off of Liam.
"What are their names?" Louis asked. She looked at him then back at the dogs.
"The fluff is Voldemort, then this hyper lil thing is Gandalf" she grinned. "I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to those sorta things. Right" we had stopped in the hallway which was cream and had brown carpet the walls were covered with photos and art. "My brother loves art, and is very good at it; so you'll find a lot of paint and arty things around. My sister does like singing, but not to your level she's interested in doing other stuff but she can play quite a few instruments" Sarah explained looking at us. "If your going to be staying here, you have o know the rules, that is my studio" she said pointing to the room she and Lisa had come out. "that is strictly out of bounds unless you are dieing and need me to protect you. But since you are under my protection no-one will get close enough to get that far in the confrontation." a bit confident in her abilities. "that is my brothers painting studio, don't interrupt him on Sundays but any other days are fine" she grinned. "Downstairs, one of the doors you would have past is my sisters music room and another her bedroom a bathroom." she was explaining.
"There was an extra door" Harry said, he wanted to know what the room was.
"Well, we're not really sure what we call that room- it's a kind of library slash storeroom along with cinema room so call it what you want." we had moved to the middle of the corridor the same length both ways down. Gandalf was following her around, owner perhaps? She pointed to the whitewashed door at the very end of the corridor. "Mum and Dads room, I don't really know the policy, no admittance after nine O'clock and never before seven- won't get a very happy reception" Sarah grinned obviously thinking of a memory. She pointed to another. "Brothers room, it stinks but feel free to annoy the hell out of him, he is quite obnoxious and has a horrible attitude" she described but still a little hint of tenderness. She walked to the other end nearer the stairs she opened a door. We walked in. there were purple walls, most of which were covered- one was covered with Cds and posters, the wanted, JLS us one direction, then Alex Pettyfer, and a couple of other Bands. There was a metal frame bed pushed up against the wall opposite the door, at the foot of the bed was the wall with a radiator and the window, pushed against that were two dog beds, which Voldemort and Gandalf ran over to and found chew toys and old treats. Pushed against the wall with the door was a comfy looking chair a orangey, brown drawer set with a tank on top, I walked over to it and saw there were turtle type things.
"What are they?" Liam asked. Sarah laughed and turned her eyes to what we were looking at.
"They are my babies, My terrapins" Sarah grinned and looked fondly at the terrapins.
"You just wait and find out what they are called," Lisa laughed, sarah cast an annoyed look at her- not entirely forgiven I guess.
"Their names are fine!" Sarah grumbled. "Buzz and Woody, the smaller one is Buzz" She grinned at me, and I smiled back. Next to the chair which was next to the drawers was another set of plastic drawers, I opened one and saw it packed full of books, I opened the second the same and the third all full of books. The wall next to the door was a built in wardrobe and some more drawers but those held clothes, considering the one with the terrapins had four and a storage compartment, held make-up nail polish, more Cds and DVDS I didn't know how she had so much. Next to the wardrobe was a full length mirror and a vanity. Over all her room was quite small for what she had in it. What I only just noticed, what I thought was more posters were in fact a lot of small pictures looked like she had, a memory wall. I saw quite a few of me, then lots of other celebrities then some of what I assume her friends. She pointed one out.
"That's Charly, she is in fact the biggest fan of yours I had ever met" Sarah grinned fondly. She pointed to another chubby girl but happy girl. "Georgia, prefers the wanted but she doesn't mind you guys" She smiled again but sadly this time. She pointed to a model like blonde girl, "Katie, she's not really into your type of music, but she likes Liam" she grinned winking at Liam. He blushed, I rolled my eyes.
"Who likes the rest of us?" I asked, she turned and looked at me. Her eyes glazed over. I looked at her. "Sarah?" I asked, she snapped out of it.
"Sorry, I like your accent- I forgot you were Irish" she laughed. She pointed to a coloured Asian looking girl who was actually quite pretty. "Asha, obsessed with Enrique Iglasisas- but is forming a new obsession with Zayn so when I introduce you two I apologise" she grinned at Zayn. He looked down, he was actually quite shy. I pointed to a pretty brunette who was in quite a lot.
"who's that?" I asked. I looked at her and saw her smile.
"That's my best friend, my closest friend Olivia, along with Alisha, Beth, Jess, Becca and Ellie" she pointed to various different people, her voice smooth and soft sounding. I could listen to her speak all day her Essex accent dragging on certain words she mostly forgot her T's and did sound a little like a Chav.
"Mrs. C said something about you needing reinforcements, your friends being odd with you" Liam said discreetly when actually we had overhear Lisa saying something about that.
"Well those guys are from my church, Georgia, Katie and Charly used to be my good friends at school but then a girl called Sophie" she pointed to a graffitied picture, she had horns and a devil tail. "I don't know, but she came along and suddenly I was no longer part of the group- so I went off on my own" she said. "now the rules on my room, you can come in whenever you want but I will warn you now, I'm not a very morning person. I will probably hit you in the morning." She pointed to a door, and walked through it. "the bathroom. We all followed, it was bright and yellow, with a shower and bath as in a two in one type thing, a cabinet with a sink built into it, and a toilet- a cabinet and a vanity. She reached into the cabinet and took out blankets, handed out pillows and duvets. There was another door on the other side of the room. She quickly walked through it- we were back out into the corridor.
"Harry, Zayn and Niall this will be your room" she said, we were in a dark blue room there was a large window with light blue curtains, there were two beds on either sides of the room a door leading to the hallway- small bedside cabinets next to the beds. There was a large wardrobe, and a built in wardrobe, and some cabinets. Next to the cabinets was a pullout sofa which had been pulled out and already got a bed sheet on it. "I'm sorry one of you will have to sleep on the sofa, it actually comfy more so than the beds. So you can fight it out. She asked each of us how many pillows we took and handed out however many. She waited while Zayn claimed a bed and Harry claimed a bed so I took the sofa. We put our pillows down. Then she remembered she had to show Liam and Louis to their room. She opened the door, to the corridor we were right by the stairs she just walked across the corridor, and opened the closed door. It was exactly the same as my room but in green instead. Once they had claimed a bed each we turned back to Sarah.
"Now, I'm afraid you don't have weeks of kicking back and relaxing. You can treat your rooms how you want just don't break anything, you don't have to keep them tidy or anything but there is more than one of you in each so I would suggest they are tidy. There will be jobs to do around the house; such as, hovering and helping mum with general tidying she does do most of it but its always nice to help. Plus she'll let you use the car. Now the parents need respect they are taking you in, when you need to be out of the way for the police to investigate" she grinned.
"Will we be able to do any sort of signing or anything like that?" Harry asked. She shook her head.
"No, tomorrow you will have an interview- saying due to the accident your spending time with family friends and girlfriends in this case Niall I'll be you girlfriend so it doesn't look odd, which reminds me- the hospital sent some more painkillers for your wrist they are in the kitchen. Lets head downstairs" she said. The dogs running out of her room and bounded down the stairs after Sarah who ran down. We looked at each other then at Lisa.
"She'll loosen up after a couple of days" she laughed at our facial expressions and pushed us down the stairs, she was waiting for us at the bottom. She pointed to the living room.
"Family room, through there you can also get to Hannah's room" I knew Hannah was her sister, George was her brother there was an Ed but I can't remember who he was to this family. I noticed in the hallway by the door was all our luggage, in the porch was the normal coat pegs with a million and one coats and bags hanging up then behind the door was a large cabinet with cabby holes with shoes and scars and gloves overflowing in them. The hallway was green with thick green carpet, there were more paintings and photos there was a hand drawn picture on canvas of sarah, her shading was beautiful. George sure was good. She walked past a door. As we trailed behind after her, not knowing where we were going I felt slightly pathetic but she seemed to get more comfortable so I knew we would get along nicely she knew how things needed to be done, I knew all five of us just wanted to sit down and relax for a bit. The sling was getting annoying as it itched behind my neck it was just plain uncomfortable.
"Toilet, music room, library, Hannah's room, dining room, Mum's room which by the way I'm not allowed in so you guys aren't allowed in. Dad's study" she was pointing out different rooms as she was walking along the corridor she walked into the kitchen and headed into another room, grabbing a cookie on the way, Claire smiled warily at her middle child who walked straight through another door I hadn't seen before as I walked in I saw, a cat? The dogs ran up to the cat and started licking it. The cat was extremely fat and just glared at the dogs but there was no barking or ripping to shreds.
"This is the conservatory or sunroom as they are called in Ireland" she grinned at me, the walls were made out of glass, and I could see a large garden with a huge pond and a little patio with a glass table and chairs out and some bright flowers. "this is pretty much the animals room, this is where their fed any way, the cat is Hannah's, and George has a Snake which by the way I refuse to go anywhere near" she pointed to another tank. "the cat is called Rosie, or Jubba the hut" a starwars reference. She really was Geek.
"Sarah, you really must let them breath for a few moments" Claire said, reprimanding her daughter in a soft motherly tone. "I bet she hasn't told you the important parts" Claire grinned, chubby cheeks showing little dimples. "you have a lot of freedom just be in the dining room at eight or no breakfast, at weekends twelve or no luch and seven or no dinner" Claire said, and smiled softly, "you can pretty much do anything you want, just Sarah is supposed to be protecting you so she needs to know where you are twenty four seven!" Claire grinned at us. "now Sarah stop freaking them out, with all your talking and let them settle in a bit. Go watch a movie or something" Claire said. I've decided I like this woman very motherly.
"Where's Hannah and Ed?" Sarah asked, not really taking her mothers reprimand into account.
"Ed?" I asked. Sarah turned to me. Claire rolled her eyes and pointed to the cinema room.
"Hannah's boyfriend" she explained. She dragged us all along to the cinema room. "yo sis!" she yelled. "We've got guests" there snuggled into a very soft looking love seat were two nineteen year olds who were snuggling each other. They were watching 2012.
"hi there" they both said form the sofa. There we saw longer more comfy looking sofas next to the loveseat facing each other.
"Wow, both of you are so lazy" Sarah laughed, she turned to us. "What would you guys like to do?" she asked. I looked around the room, it was red, along one wall was filled with books, along the wall we walked through was full of DVDS, and the one empty wall was covered with paintings and enlarged photos.
"I'll tell you what, we'll go into the living room so you can all have a sit down" Sarah, said and walked back out, it would seem a little awkward but she just didn't know what we wanted to do. We walked through some French doors and into another green room. There were some leather sofas in there a three seater and a love seat, a fireplace, no TV a sideboard a book case and a coffee table, she flopped down on a love seat I sat next to her, the other four actually did fit on the three seater, the cushions were quite large but not the same on the loveseat Lisa sat on the floor.
"a lot of the rooms are green" Louis observed trying for conversation not wanting it to become awkward. Sarah laughed. She nodded.
"Its mums favourite colour" she explained, she tucked her legs underneath herself. "the day after tomorrow I had actually scheduled a trip to Cornwall, because I like surfing, I'll have to either call it off or you guys can come with me. Its half term week starting Monday and it's supposed to be really hot. And I've been planning this week for ages" we all knew she was guilt tripping us to saying we'd come.
"Well when you put it like that…" I grinned. She smiled slightly, when she heard my accent; I knew a lot of girls were suckers for the Irish accent looks like she was one of those girls.
"we don't know how to surf" Liam said, he was looking at Lisa. A small frown on his face.
"I can teach you, or you can just sunbathe you guys will just need to blend in!" she said, sternly. "we'll have to move about at the weekends so it's harder for the stalker to know exactly where you are" Sarah said. I got fed up of this stinking sling and ended up taking it off.
"we need to figure out something for you guys to say at the interview tomorrow" Lisa said. The rest of the evening we swapped stories and there was a great deal of laughing involved, we had started to become friends and the awkwardness slipped away. Her dad came in, who was quite tall had a belly with thick ginger hair. that's where she got it from. He was wearing a suit, and carrying a briefcase, he went to the kitchen and kissed his wife and they started to talk.
We carried on chatting about anything. It turned out, once she broke from her shell she was naturally quite funny. It took her a while to get Zayn talking as he was quite shy but, me and Sarah worked as a team and we finally cracked him and he started talking and laughing right along with us. Quite soon later, we met George the arty one, who liked to show off for people and I knew would get quite annoying if he kept that up but he stopped towards the end of the evening, Claire and David Sarah's parents soon joined us, and Liam and Harry got off the sofa so they could sit down. Hannah and Ed then joined us we were talking about holidays when Hannah brought France up.
"Sarah do you remember the wedding?" Hannah asked, trying not to laugh just thinking about the memory. Harry was looking between Hannah and Sarah.
"what happened?" he asked. Sarah was glaring at her sister, Ed had his arm around her shoulder.
"Sarah had dragged me to the toilet she was really desperate. Now the toilets are on a balcony type thing, so you look down on all the tables and stuff, now I was standing outside and she was taking forever. I turned back and asked what was wrong. There were some people around, a woman and these two hot guys that she had pointed out at the beginning of the wedding. I couldn't hear what she said through the door. She ended up opening the window, and saying the door wouldn't open and she couldn't climb out of the window because it was too far away from the toilet and she couldn't reach. Lucky for her there was a seat outside of the window, one of the hot guys climbed in and as he said only needed to wiggle the key; but he couldn't get the door open either. He had offered to give her a leg up so she could wiggle out the window but they ended up just ripping her dress instead. They were locked in the toilet for an hour while everyone was looking for the caretaker with the right keys" Hannah was giggling so hard now she had hiccups.
"You have idea how embarrassing that was!" Sarah said, mortified her sister had even brought the wedding up. She had tried to hide her face, but she was shaking with laughter under her hands. "I couldn't even look at him for the whole hour!" she laughed.
"Okay, so what is the one thing you can't live without?" Harry asked. I looked to Sarah thinking about what to say.
"Music" Sarah said, she looked to me telling me it was my turn to say something.
"My heart" I grinned, my cheeky grin. Sarah laughed.
"deep" she grinned then we went back to listening to the others. Louis and Zayn said their phone, Harry said his laptop.
"Liam?" Sarah asked. He was deep in thought then grinned at Sarah and said.
"Hairwax" Sarah laughed a twinkling laugh. Both Hannah and Ed said each other at the same time. Claire said food, David said family and George said paint.
"Which ones of you can drive?" Claire asked.
"i'm learning" Liam grinned, Zayn and Louis put their hands up and said they could drive.
"Who would your dream valentine be?" Hannah asked.
"Miranda Cosgrove" I said, Sarah looked at me.
"Really? She has a really big mouth" Sarah said. She shook her head at me in mock disappointment. Harry said Louis and Louis said Harry.
"Kim kardasian" Liam said and grinned.
"Emma Watson" George was smiling his choice. I saw Sarah shaking her head next to me.
"Okay then, who'd be your dream valentine?" I asked her, she grinned.
"I have two" she said I nodded that she could say both. "Alex Pettyfer and Chris pine" I nodded they were actually very good dream valentines. The parents said each other Hannah said James Marsten and Ed said Hannah.
"Okay sarah" Zayn started, he went back to thought. "Shag, marry or cruise" he said, she nodded looking at him. "Liam, Louis or Niall" Sarah opened her mouth then shut it turned her head to think about it.
"Um" she said, her face melted to one of indecision. "Er, I'd marry um Niall um and uh shag um Liam, Louis a laugh so I'll cruise him" Sarah said, still a little unsure.
"Hey, am I not a laugh?" Liam asked, holding his heart in mock hurt.
"well, I wouldn't know I'm only shagging you" Sarah said, he clutched his heart and spun and fell in mock heartache.
"It hurts right here" Liam said, "how can I live through such character assination?" Liam asked, in a wobbly voice. Sarah turned to me.
"He's good should totally try acting!" she grinned. I laughed, and nodded.
"What's the worst thing that's happened to you while you were asleep?" Ed asked. Harry grinned over at Zayn.
"Harry shaved a 'H' in my leg hair while I was asleep" Sarah burst out laughing.
"Seriously?" Sarah asked, she looked at Harry. "Wow you guys are soo funny! I drew a moustache on Hannah!" Sarah grinned Hannah glared at her.
"Embarrassing fact?" Zayn asked. I knew just the thing, and I think he knew that too. I gave him a playful glare. "Why don't you go first Niall?" he grinned. Sarah looked at me patiently.
"I have a Justin beiber biography" I mumbled. Sarah laughed.
"Ouch! That is embarrassing!" sarah admitted.
"Go on then what's yours?" I challenged. She seemed to be thinking hard.
"I'm a grouch in the mornings" she said and smiled sweetly.
Sarah's point of view…
The next morning, I was rudely awoken; I had five different people jump on me at the same time, I groaned and just rolled over; they'll go away if I don't encourage them.
"Woo, Sarah its time to get up!" Louis howled. , I had hoped they'd bugger off. Five sets off hands started shaking me all at once. I growled.
"seriously? Did you just growl" a infuriating attractive Irish boy laughed. I squeezed my eyes shut and just wished they'd go away.
"Mambo said that if you want breakfast to get up now, if you don't you don't get breakfast and you'll have to wash up" Zayn sang, as he tried to tickle my neck I of course retracted and flew so far under my duvet you would not believe I could move that fast in the morning.
"Get her!" I heard Harry command. I started wriggling, then abruptly stopped; their hands stopped as well. "What's wrong?" I heard Harry ask. This was my strategy I heard my sister laughing from the door.
"If you intend on keeping your life, I would suggest you get off!" I said eerily calm/sinister. Four of the weights jumped off.
"Er, Niall you were supposed to get off…" Louis said, as if it was obvious. "But then she is your girlfriend" he said, and laughed. Niall fell from on top of me, but not the way off the bed he was now stuck between me and the wall. Louis would only say that if they were filming.
"Psst" I whispered, I felt him silently chuckle, he lifted the duvet so only he could see me. His cheeky smile was in place, his deep blue eyes laughing. His arm still in the sling but I knew he would take it off for breakfast, he found it too uncomfortable.
"What can I do for you?" He whispered, trying not to laugh. While trying to discreetly itch under the cast.
"whose filming?" I asked; he thought about it then peaked out no doubt to however many eyes staring curiously at us.
"Your sister" he said when he peaked back under, I rolled my eyes at her. He snuggled further under my duvet, I raised an eyebrow at him, he froze when he looked at my questioning look, he carried on and simply said that it was warm underneath my blankets.
"Mambo, said breakfast but if you two have different ideas…" Louis trailed off.
"I'm sure each other would be a very tasty breakfast" Zayn laughed, then coughed as if he remembered he was being filmed.
"Get lost Zayn" I said, and snuggled a little closer to Niall, it was his chance to raise an eyebrow. I shrugged. "You smell nice" his cheeky grin was back but much bigger.
"Ew, we heard that" Harry cringed.
"Buzz off!" Niall laughed. He wrapped his arms around me. "Any second they are going to pull the duvet off and your only wearing a bra…" Niall trailed off, if anything I rushed to wipe any excess make up off, then started on my hair. "Stop" he said sweetly "You look beautiful" I raised one eyebrow at him in a silent challenge. He nodded. I settled back into his arm hiding my face so no one I knew would see me in the video most likely will be posted.
"Now!" four different voices shouted and the covers were torn and invited the cold; I shivered, yelped and shrank further into Niall. There was an awww from Hannah and fake crying from the boys.
"Guys," Louis fake sniffed. "We've lost him" there were false wails from the three others. "to, to" he fake hiccupped "to, to a girl!" Louis said girl as if a foreign and very unused word. I saw from the corner of my eye Niall glare at them reach over and grab my blanket and wrap it around me; it was very sweet one hand around my back the other was by my neck.
"Just ignore them, they should go away in a while" Niall whispered in my ear, his breath sending shivers down my spine. I laughed.
"I highly doubt it" I grinned at him. The other boys were all talking and laughing at whatever Louis was saying.
"you better get out then" Niall cheekily chuckled, I narrowed my eyes at him.
"No chance, their your friends!" I said, I was already falling back asleep on Niall.
"Oh no you don't!" Niall was in the better position to shake me now "Wake up you" He laughed.
"Oi! You lot get down here your breakfast's getting cold" Mum shouted up the stairs.
"Yeah you love birds, time to get up!" Liam came and started shaking me, I groaned and rolled further onto Niall. Is that possible? Liam only seemed to be shaking me? No fair.
"Oi, you! Leave ma woman" Niall said and absentmindedly slapping him and actually getting him full on the face.
"Alright, alright we're leaving but I'm gonna eat both of yours breakfast" Harry laughed manically.
"Fatty" I shouted, I turned and realised they'd all left. I turned back and cuddled into Niall. "Mmmm, fancy being my full term pillow?" I asked. "Much comfier," I looked up. "And much prettier" he grinned at me, his cheeky grin, he then pushed me outta bed. I shrieked. I landed on the floor with a thud. My face must have been hilarious, because Niall was laughing for about five minutes he was still chuckling when I shoved him out of my room angrily. I must admit I was fighting a smile even as I rubbed the left side of my arse. I quickly got changed into my cotton stripy top and my red skinny jeans; I grabbed my Ipod and headphones. I put my too big jumper on it was my jumper I wore when I was tired and really moody. I was still half asleep. My right butt cheek was throbbing. I was still rubbing it, when I entered the dining room and glared at Niall, he only burst out laughing.
"we saved you a space" Hannah grinned and pointed between, Niall and Louis. I threw my hands up. I was getting no luck today. Niall at least attempted at an innocent look but it was working because he kept laughing. While taking his sling off.
"Sarah, grab the orange juice" George said, then carried on eating, I moved next to him; I put my head to his head.
"Sorry, what?" I asked, I knew he rolled his eyes. I was secretly smiling and eyeing up Niall, George sure did have an awesome view from here.
"Please, please can I have the orange juice" I grinned, went into the kitchen and grabbed the orange juice. I walked back into the room. Mum really had gone all out and had cooked for the entirety of England. Bless her.
"one, time when me and Sarah went out dancing some guy asked her to dance." Niall looked up and he looked real jealous, it was quite sexy actually. This story was a very annoying one. "She slapped him full on the face" Hannah started to laugh she tried to finish but just dissolved into giggles. Every eye on the table turned to me. I sighed.
"He didn't say please" Niall, Louis and Zayn burst out laughing. I was still moody from my awakening. Halfway through breakfast, I felt Niall's foot brush against mine. I looked up at him but he kept looking forward, the tips of his mouth turned up, I shook ma head a little.
"Baked beans?" My mum asked Louis, he put up a cross sign against the Beans.
"Noooo, I can't stand them!" he exclaimed. I smiled evilly a fact to lock away. Louis saw my evil look and did have the decency to gulp in fear, I laughed and grinned at him; he grinned back.
I flicked up my hood and leaned back in my chair. Niall's foot stroked mine, I found it hard to stop from smiling. All the way through breakfast we played footy under the table. Until I saw Harry and Louis snicker to themselves they were looking at something. I picked up my plate and bowls, took them out to the kitchen and discreetly looked over their shoulders they didn't even notice; I walked past. They were looking at the video from this morning. I put the plates down, and devised my plan. I walked back in as silently as I could. I jumped on them and grabbed my sisters phone out of unsuspecting hands. Seeing their happy faces turning surprised was like stealing candy from a unprotected baby. Cue crazy laugh. I pegged it to the kitchen and managed to delete it, right in front of Harry and Louis.
"That's not our only copy" they both said at the same time. Which was eerily creepy. I raised an eyebrow.
"Hello you tube!" Liam sang when he walked out of the room, I narrowed my eyes had them.
"sarah?" Mum called, I was reluctant to answer I didn't wanna quit this stare down; I sighed.
"Yeah" I called. she herself appeared around the doorway.
"You were last down, your on washing up duty" Mum announced.
"Ha" Harry and Louis laughed in my face.
"But-"
"No" she said. Evil woman
"please-" I persisted, this would be so humiliating.
"No"
"Har-" she wouldn't even let me finish my word. Rude.
"Your doing it, now get to it" she said and walked away. I grumbled and deflated. I turned to the sink and started to fill the sink. I was giving Harry and Louis the silent treatment and I think they knew it. Niall walked in, carrying his plate.
"Um, where do I put this?" he asked, he obviously had no clue what was happening. I took it from him and started to clean it and quickly left it on the rack. He stood there standing dumbfounded, he obviously didn't know what to do. He cautiously picked up a tea towel in the overly crowded kitchen, he picked up the plate and slowly started to dry it.
"Babe, you don't have to do that" I said, reluctant to say this if he said okay and ran off leaving me with the two goons, standing behind me whispering between each other. I was getting worried.
"No problem baby, here to help right?" Niall just replied. I grinned at him and we washed everything, while we were forced to listening to Louis chatter on and bullying us about our situation this morning. He was being mean to me when I finished with the washing up, I turned to Louis but only to find he was facing away; leaning against the island next to me. I looked at Harry and put a finger to my lips to keep him quiet, I grinned at Niall. I picked up the now dirty washing up water. Walked behind Louis as he was still talking away Harry, realising what I was about to do tried to warn Louis but too late, I poured the water all over him. I heard him shriek. Niall behind me laughing manically as he couldn't hold it in anymore. Louis spun on his heel, caught me with the stink eye, I smiled sweetly. I dropped the bowl.
"Oh… how on earth did that happen?" I asked, he grinned evilly. He grabbed the tea towel that had been next to him that had also got soaked in my spillage.
"you'll pay ginge" he grinned. He twisted the towel and, then tried to whip me with it but missed. He ran around the island, me trying to run away; he got my butt. Liam hearing the commotion, ran into the room seeing the state of the floor and Louis and was now filming the whole thing. There was me screaming and laughing away from Louis. Harry then got involved, trying to catch me to hold me down. I shouted for Niall, he looked around grabbed a packet of flower left out. He turned but he wasn't holding onto the flower tight enough and it flew all over me. I shrieked, I looked down at myself, I was white covered in flower head to toe; I knew my face would be too. I looked up. Everyone had froze and were trying not to laugh. I turned my playful glare to Niall.
"Your gonna pay for that" at that I gave him no time to react I jumped him, we both fell to the floor; I was tickling him to death I found a particularly ticklish spot just below his belly button. Having him floored, he was squirming and laughing to much, I leaned down and rubbed all the flower of my face and onto his. Louis and Harry soon joined in my assault on Niall and having him almost dieing of laughter until my mother came in and looked at the state of the kitchen.
"what is going on in here?" she demanded. I looked up sheepishly. She looked down at me one eyebrow raised and a semi smile on her face.
"Louis started it." I said. I grinned at him.
"Did not" Louis argued. Mum was looking between the two of us not knowing what to think.
"Did too" I said, and looked at him in a challenge. Mum helped Niall up.
"Louis why are you all wet?" Mum asked, obviously wondering what could happen. Before he could say anything, Niall jumped in.
"Harry soaked him with the washing up bowl while me and Sarah finished the washing up" giving her the sweetest smile ever. She turned the stink eye on them both. I was pulling the whole 'we just got away with it' face behind mums back and sticking out ma tongue.
"Well, you two better get this mess cleaned up" Mum said threatening. Mum stormed out. Louis turned and glared at me.
"you two should probably get to it, you've got an interview soon" I said and smiled.
"Why did you tell her it was me who did the pouring it was all Sarah man" Harry complained. I turned to Niall.
"My butt still hurts from you pushing me over this morning" I moaned, poking him in the chest; while I pouted, he laughed and pecked my pout.
"Ew, PDA guys get outta here, we gotta clear up" Harry complained. I laughed. Liam turned his camera off as he started to laugh. He started to post the two videos onto Twitter. Shit was gonna go down.
"Liam's gonna help us when we get our own back" Louis warned. I rolled my eyes and ran for the shower.
"Look forward to it" I shouted over my shoulder leaving Niall and Liam Laughing in the kitchen. I quickly picked up my phone and saw I had about a thousand Mentions on Twitter.
melisaaaaaa_1D who does she think she is, wondering to Niall's life and stealing my boyfriend L boyfriend stealer!
tina1Ddirectioner! Niall's mine back off
Ester…BOOM I think it's sweet they obviously like each other, take no shit Niall's new girl. I liked her I quickly tweeted back my thanks to her.
charly95_1D why didn't you tell me you knew 1D Sarah? Xx
Oh what and you would have stayed my friend, just because I know awesome people. I quickly called Niall, he ran up the stairs and I showed him all the tweets, he sat outside the bathroom because I asked him to read out the tweets. He didn't want to, but I wanted to see if any threatened death to try and see if we could find the stalker, they seemed to go for Niall- so it seemed plausible to Niall I just wanted to hear his accent and what they said. He had put his sling on for the interview.
"Jeez, she ain't even pretty… from what I saw any way, he shouldn't waste his time"
"I hate those girls who are hating on Niall's new girl just because he's found happiness doesn't mean you should ruin what they have"
"stupid, stupid, stupid Niall can't he see I'm right here?"
"I'm Irish, that automatically makes me better than that chavvy English girl" I quickly towelled myself off and got changed into my different clothes.
"I personally think your beautiful" Niall said- I thought he had wondered off, because he stopped talking when I turned the shower off. "no matter what any of my fans say" Niall said, I heard him get up and run down the stairs, I smiled slightly. I never had anyone call me beautiful before. I walked out put my towel in the basket and picked up my phone, which was flashing with new mentions- guess I better turn my twitter updates off. I unlocked my phone and saw Niall had out his number in.
Nialler is very sexy xxxxxxxxxx
I rolled my eyes, at him. It did make me smile after all the hate I was getting. I didn't know what I did to any of those fan girls who were sending me so much hate. Why do they hate me, what did I do to deserve this? I quickly made it downstairs Lisa was there, she was freaking out, we were late.
"I'm gonna go have a shower" Louis said, he only had time to get changed but- Mum ushered him back down to finish helping Harry tidy up. Lisa pretty much tackled him.
"No! we don't have time lets go" Lisa demanded. She pushed us all in the car. There not being enough space for all of us so me having to sit on Niall's lap. I got another tweet this time I saw the two videos Liam tweeted one form this morning and the breakfast catastrophe. Louis was still playfully annoyed with me.
"No!" I said, Niall looked at me- his playful smile slowly disappearing. I had come to learn Niall was very loud. "Liam" I moaned and hit him. "Why on earth would you post both Videos?" I asked him, he grinned. "I'm getting enough hate as it is" I moaned and turned to Niall. "being your girlfriend is very hard" I said, he chuckled.
"My apologises" He said, and his normal smile was back. I rested my head on his chest. I was tired from my exciting morning and my interrupted rest.
"Hmm" I hummed. Lisa was looking at us with a small smile on her face. "Liam, is it true your scared of spoons?" I asked, he shuddered, I grinned. He nodded sadly.
"Yeah" he shuddered again, obviously thinking about one.
"Spoons?" I asked curiously, he nodded as if it was normal; and shuddered. "Spoons" I said again, he shuddered. "spoons, spoons, spoons, spoons" he shuddered so much I actually thought he was having an epileptic fit! Me and Niall burst out laughing. Dad parked outside, there was plenty of fans there- it was actually quite scary. Everyone got out, I climbed off his lap; he started to get out but I didn't move. He turned to look at me.
"You alright?" he asked, I shook my head. He shut the door quickly. "what's up?" he looked genuinely concerned.
"There's so many of them" I whispered, his answering smile.
"I know, a little overwhelming- isn't it? I get like that sometimes." he admitted. I looked up at his honest face. He didn't seem to get scared at anything, neither did I; so this was a strange feeling.
"You do?" I asked in a whisper. He nodded. He pulled me in for a hug.
"I'll be here the whole time, just hold on to me" he grinned in my ear and kissed my cheek. "you ready?" he asked me, holding my face in his hands. He was just so sweet! I swallowed and breathed in. I nodded and gave him a watery smile. He opened the door and helped me out, he wrapped his arm around me- keeping me strongly grounded. We walked out, we walked around meeting his fans and he signed stuff, and had photos taken but he'll either have his arms around me, or be holding my hands. I was talking to one of his nice fans.
"So, are you guys like dating?" she asked, I smiled and nodded. "Is it scary?" she asked.
"Sometimes, I mean I get so much hate from fans and stuff- it's really quite hurtful. But Niall is so sweet and he knows how to make me laugh so he makes me feel better." Niall soon joined the conversation and she shyly asked for a picture which I took and made sure I took loads just so she had plenty of memories, he knew what I was doing and pulled funny faces; groaning when his sling got in the way- I motioned for him to kiss her on the cheek. I captured that and she looked like she was going to faint. I grinned at her and handed back the camera. She smiled her thanks, and I knew I had made a friend. She handed me her number.
"Ever need a friend, gimme a call" she winked I laughed my thanks. I looked at the paper. Amy. That was her name. Niall pulled me towards the entrance. We had rehearsed what they were gonna say but we did not know what questions were gonna be asked. I quickly handed over Niall's pain killers and a bottle of water so he was not too distracted on camera. Niall kissed me before he went and sat down, the film crew had been watching us enter, the other boys playfully interacted with me- until they too walked over and sat down. I shook my head and smiled at them. One of the crew who seen my interactions, gave me a place to sit behind the camera's I smiled thanked him and sat down. I had some trusty security check the place out before hand, and no-one was allowed in; I made sure all cars were going to be checked before anyone got in. soon it started.
"So, Niall; what happened?" the interviewer asked. Niall started shaking his head.
"Some crazed stalker, took things a little too far" Niall grinned, his accent turning me on.
"Sarah was terrified" Liam teased. Niall shrugged it off. The interviewer looked like she wanted to ask but Harry interrupted.
"Which, is why we are taking a little break. You know get back to our roots. This was a little too scary, we have people trying to find out who this is and if we need to press charges and stuff. So we don't want any public… we need to try and blend in." Harry said, even he himself knew that was impossible.
"to shake the stalker" Louis said, he was normally the fun guy. He was, serious. The interviewer looked like she wanted to get away from this subject.
"We, have evidence that; you Mr Horan have a new girl" the interviewer said, and smiled at him.
"Evidence?" Niall asked, saying the exact question I was thinking… odd. She grinned and on the screen came up the video from this morning. Of them trying to wake me up. My hands flew to my face as I watched me back. It did look like me and Niall were in love. There were plenty of chuckles when I shouted that Harry was a fatty. Then went straight into the second. But it turns out Zayn had been hiding and had been filming the whole time it started when I was telling Harry to be quiet. Then bam. Seeing Louis face from the front was hilarious! And I thought it was funny being there. There were awws when Niall kissed my pout away then it finished when Louis was promising me revenge and me saying I couldn't wait. It then stopped, Niall had the biggest grin on his face right at that moment. I had my hands covering my face.
"Would this be your girl?" the interviewer asked. She was smiling and expecting the answer.
"Why yes, that would be ma girl" Niall said proudly, I groaned at his Tarzan like approach. I shook my head in affection, and whispered.
"Bless him" the guy next to me started laughing, but had to keep quiet.
"Brave girl eh?" the interviewer winked. He laughed.
"Yeah, already she's been getting hate from fans. She's being so strong and as Liam said, she was absolutely terrified after the accident." I rolled my eyes. He was bigging himself up.
"So Louis, what exactly happened in that kitchen?" The interviewer asked.
"He got owned, By Niall's girlfriend" Zayn said matter of factly.
"Did not" Louis argued.
"Did too" I argued under my breath.
"so speaking of fans, what's the weirdest thing that's happened to you by a fan?" the interviewer asked.
"A fan once asked to lick my face" Liam said, then they past banter amongst each other. The rest of it went along those lines, I prowled the whole venue to make sure there were no surprises, I had the car checked, multiple times. I was being paranoid, but that was best in this business. When they had finished the interview they were finally allowed to stop smiling. Niall ran off, and straight towards me.
"how'd I do baby?" he asked, he looked at me. I smiled at him.
"Brilliant" I said, and he kissed me lightly on the lips. I had never been used to such tender uses of affection- it was gonna take some getting used to. "I still cannot believe they played those videos, this equals, mortified!" I laughed as he lifted me up and swung me around for what seems no reason.
"they were fine" he laughed. I slapped him on his chest.
"yeah because I'm so pretty in the mornings" I said, in a sarcastic voice.
"I think you look beautiful no matter what time of day it is" Niall said. Some nearby workers who were eavesdropping aww'd and sighed longingly. If he kept this up I would be beating them off with a stick! he grinned at me knowing full well what I was thinking. I shook my head at him and all he could do was grin at me.
"Well, you caveman lets get going. We've got to pack for our little trip" I did say that suspiciously quieter just in case anyone was eavesdropping. He laughed, interlocked our fingers and pulled us towards the others. My phone started ringing on the way so I had to multitask and I pulled out my phone.
"Young lady!" the commanding voice of my mother demanded down the phone. I visibly flinched. "your leaving in how long? And you have not tidied your room, or packed" my mother screeched, I could see all the boys laughing at my expression Zayn was recording it all; he had been filming the audience all the way through the interview. "get your tiny body and those boys back here if you still expect me to let you go to Cornwall later this evening" Mum yelled. I winced as I closed my phone.
"You just got a bollocking from your mother?" Niall laughed. I glared at him. I pouted.
"Only because, you all move like freakishly slowly. We need to get going. We'll have to go out the back door" I said, I looked out the window.
"What about the fans?" Zayn asked. I looked at him. Most people had given us our space so no one was listening in.
"well, I'm sorry but I'm not about to be brutally murdered by my mother for some fans that have already seen you" Sarah said grimly. "besides I'm going out the back way, if you wish to be protected I suggest you follow me" I said, I smiled at them. They had to chose. Them or their fans. I felt someone interlocked their fingers in mine, I looked up and my eyes met a pair of stunning blue orbs, he was smiling so I smiled back. I then noticed all the others walking behind me, all tweeting saying they had to leave early and out the back because they were late for something very important and snickered.
