Chapter 5:
After we all sat down and 'the boys' explained everything. Things started making sense and all the puzzle pieces were fitting together. It was all a huge shock to me, but I slowly took this all in.
The boys sitting before me were the 'popular boy band' that I had gone with my sister to see a week ago. While I was trying to find the bathrooms I had happened to sneak into the "No Access" room which lead backstage to the dressing rooms, sound control rooms etc. Zayn had decided to take a break, go outside and have a little smoke, before the show. That's where I saw him.
So all this time, I had fallen into a little crush with 1/5 of my sisters major love obsessions. And right now I think it had risen to 2/5.
After it all became clear to me we decided to go and calm Holly down. It took a HUGE effort to do so, but finally she got a grip and came and sat down with us. She still had her bursts of 'fan girl' moments.

"Y/N don't be rude! Why don't you offer our friends some tea and biscuits?" said Holly with emphasis on the word 'our'
"I-uh…would you guys like a drink?" I said in an uneasy tone.
"Ooo yes! I'll have tea, black no sugar" replied Louis,
"Mine, tea two teaspoons of sugar." Said Zayn,
"I'll have the same as Zayn, please." Said Liam,
"I'll have mine with… three sugars." Said Niall,
"Im fine with just water, thanks." said Harry.
"Um….ok so…one no sugar, two with two sugars, one with three and one with-"
"-don't forget me I'll have one with three sugars." Holly cut me off, and beamed at Niall.
"Since when did you ever drink tea?"
"Since forever-now hurry up. 'Sorry'" she mouthed sorry at the boys who laughed awkwardly.
I smiled at them then snarled at Holly as I walked past.
Black? One sugar? Two sugars? What was the difference? I'd never made or drank tea in my life!
I grabbed five teacups and one glass and put it on the bench before me. I took a deep breath and turned the boiling jug on. I opened up the pantry and looked around for any key ingredients that would go in tea. Anything at all…sugar? I found what looked like sugar in a jar. I took that out, as well as the milk and teabags. I lay them out beside the glasses.
As soon as the water was boiled I poured it into each cup, but at the struggle of its weight I poured it too quickly and it spilled piping hot water over the bench and on the floor. I slapped my hand hard, over where it had also hit the bare skin on my arm. I waited for the burning to stop and mopped up the bench with a tea towel, then again attempted trying to pour the hot water into the china cups. Successful, in then, I poured the milk. Then recalling the different orders, I added the teaspoons of sugar. Stirring the mixture, I watched as the crystal like substance dissolved in the liquid.
I lastly added the teabags and reached over to the tap to get Harrys water, when Niall suddenly walked into the room.
"I'm just going to the toilet." Niall told me as he walked closer.
I turned around to look at him, forgetting the spilt water on the floor. I stepped into the puddle and dropped the glass. Pieces of it shattered and flew all around the room. I began to slip when Niall reached out and grabbed me before I hit the ground. But he also slipped in that same puddle causing us to both plunge down.
I was sitting on his leg. My arm gently, resting his chest where it landed. His arm was around my waist. We both looked at one another, as our faces close, checking to see if either one of us were hurt. Niall was ok. All I could see in his eyes was no pain, but a deep current of luxury blue but also worry as he was checking if I was fine, and I was. I stared to smile and his lip turned to a smile as well.
A few seconds of silence then we both started laughing at what had happened.
All of a sudden Zayn burst through the door.
"Hey, whats going o…" he froze and stared at us both laughing in each other's arms.
Quickly but carefully pushed me off and stood up.
"uh-nothing happened, what are you talking about?" said Niall shrugging offering me a hand up.
"We heard glass smashing, so I came to check. I thought someone might have been hurt but instead you were both…" he didn't finish his sentance.
"It was nothing, we both slipped." I said reassuringly. But somehow… I kind of hoped that, that moment was more than nothing.
He raised his eyebrow and then stared strongly at Niall in eye as in telling him to back off, then left the room.
I looked at Niall and his expression changed to desparate from being embarrassed.
"Oh I forgot. I need to peeeeeeeeeeeeee!" I cracked up laughing at the way he was running, awkwardly as he tried to find the bathroom. He was defiantly busting to go.
