Chapter Ten: New Place

**Lilah's POV**

The driver heads towards the block of apartments near UCLA. The boys want to stay in a place close but large enough for them all to stay in comfortably. It takes us a while but we finally come across the perfect apartments.

"Wow, this is brilliant," Niall marvels at the open space, taking in the fully furnished studio apartment we found. He runs his fingers across a couple surfaces testing for dust, not finding a single layer of it. "Impressive."

I send out a tweet: Niall finds interest in clean places XD

"Lads! Check this out!" Harry calls out and we all rush over to see what he's excited about.

It's a large open room almost completely empty. There's a bar counter that wraps around half of the room and large glass cases behind it. The rest of the room is empty, only hard wood floors and brick walls.

"Well, looks like we found the studio portion," Louis says with a low whistle. "Great acoustics."

"This would be a sick place to rehearse!" Liam exclaims and sings a couple notes.

Jared rushes over to me and squeezes my arms. "Thank you. Thank you. Thank. You," he mouths to me with wide blue eyes. He grips me in a tight hug, practically squeezing the air out of my body.

"Okay! I got it!" I say through my clenched teeth, he's squeezing me too tightly.

"Oops! Sorry!" Jared lets go of me and pulls Lena away with him. "Hurry, we have to check the cabinets for Oreos before Niall can," he whispers to her and they start giggling together, running out of the room.

"Where they off to?" Zayn asks, walking over to me. "This is great isn't it?" He smiles widely at the large empty room.

"Kitchen to-"

"LOUIS! GET OFF OF THAT!" Harry yells suddenly. Louis is on top of the counter dancing.

"Peasants. Gather around peasants." Louis claps his hands and talks in a high voice. We all walk closer to the counter, watching as he looks out with a hand on his eyebrow. "Good, now bow!"

"Louis. Stop it and get down before you break something!" Harry holds out his hand for him. His green eyes are filled with concern and worry.

Louis ignores his hand and spins on the counter top. "I will be fine curly."

"He's right Lou, you might break your head. Get down," Niall says nervously when Louis steps a little close to the edge. "Louis!"

Louis lets out a heavy sigh and jumps off the counter, a loud thump echoing in the room. "Touchdown!" He screams and runs off, pulling his shirt off and swinging it around his head.

God this boy is something else. At least I get a view of a shirtless Louis Tomlinson. This is the second time today. The boys had all put back on their shirts before getting out of the limo. Personally, if they wanted to keep them off I wouldn't mind. Jared wouldn't argue either.

"Come on, let's go out and get some drinks. I think Louis needs something hard," Liam says, watching as Louis flaps his arms acting like a bat now. "And soon."

We all leave the studio room. Niall sprints past us all screaming,"FOOOOOOD!" at the top of his lungs. He throws himself over the half wall that divides the kitchen from the living room. A couple things fall and crash to the floor but he jumps up unhurt.

Jared however, looks like he's going through a heart attack. He has his hand clutching his chest, his blue eyes wide at Niall's entrance. Lena is sitting on a counter beside the stove eating from a box of Fruit Loops. I go over and sit across from her on the half wall that Niall previously hurtled over.
