Love in Due Time - A One Direction Fanfiction

Chapter 6: The Club

"So," Maddie said, leaning up on Liam. I groaned and slapped my face in embarrasment; although I immediately regretted it because it resulted in a headache soon after.

"So, what?" Liam asked. He gave me a pleading face but I just shrugged my shoulders. He was on his own.

"What do you guys like to do around here? I mean, it wouldn't be my dream to be cooped up inside a cold and empty house while being surrounded by crazed fans." She said that as if she never waited outside of their houses before.

One time she camped outside of Liam's house for two whole days and was only able to capture a picture of Liam's head in the window. It was her most prized possesion for the longest time, but now I'm sure that the shirt she's wearing now will replace it since Liam actually touched that.

"Oh," Harry said. "Sometimes we go clubbing." Maddie rolled her eyes.

"I know that, silly!"

"Then why are you asking us?" Liam said under his breath. I heard it and tried holding back a laugh, but some of it escaped and Maddie gave me a look. Even though it was too late, I turned up the volume to Toy Story as a cover up.

"I love this scene," I said.

Liam's eyes lit up. "Really? Me too!" He disappeared from the room and came back with a photo album. Inside of it was just photos of him as a kid that his mom took while he was watching his favorite movie. Sometimes he was dressed up as woody or buzz, other times he was just in regular clothes.

"A whole album dedicated to Toy Story? Epic." Maddie looked at Liam appreciatively.

"What I wanna know," I said while skimming over a few pages, "is why this photo album is at Harry's house."

I glanced at Harry and he quickly drank some of his hot chocolate.

Liam cleared his throat. "All of the band members have this album. I made it for them so that way they can remember me when we're apart." It was a cute response, but I felt as awkward as Harry did right now.

"Do you look at it, Harry?" I nudged him with my elbow and he glanced at Liam. Liam's eyes showed that he obviously expected Harry to read it all the time, but Harry just looked uncomfortable.

"Yeah, of course. My favorite section is when he's watching Toy Story 3 because normally he's tearing up in those."

"Hey!" Liam protested. "I don't tear up, my allergies are just triggered."

"Allergies?" Maddie said with sudden interest.

"Yeah, to sadness and touchy-ness."

"I don't think that's a word, mate," Harry said.

"I do," Maddie retorted while sticking her tongue out at him.

Their fighting or flirting, whatever they were doing, started to annoy me so I told them to shutup. "I'm trying to watch a movie."

I crossed my arms and sat on the floor, up close to the TV. They stopped talking and my eyes began to droop as my mind drifted off. I was about to fall asleep when Harry shook me awake.

"Kristina," he said with concern. Concern, for me? "If you're tired you should go sleep in your bed. And the doctor told me that I need to watch you and wake you up every two hours, so if you want to sleep you need to let me know." The way he actually cared about my health was sweet and I smiled at him.

"Yeah, that'll be nice."

Maddie jumped off of the couch. "But what about us? What will me and Li-Li do?"
