Oblivion {n.h.}

Chapter 13.

The groups turn in different directions to discuss where each person will be sleeping and staying for however long we're here.

I really wasn't fond of the idea of sharing a room with others, but I was open to the idea anyway.

After a lot of planning and discussing, the groups had been decided.

I was sharing with Emily and Carly, which was definitely fine with me, Jade and Jesy would take the room across from us, convenient for Carly to be near them. Harry, Louis, and Liam got their own rooms at the end of the hall, Alex and Josh would be next to Jade and Jesy's room, and Steven and Jackson would be next to my shared room. Which I honestly loved the idea of, basically having my favorite men near me at all times.

The rest of the members of the household had already had a room chosen for them, or designated here already.

"Now I know you people must be real happy to finally rest here for a minute, but Lottie and I were going to go on a run, and I sure as hell would like to take a couple of you guys with us to see what you can do."

Everyone was sitting on the couch besides a few in their rooms or with our new friends we've met here. Jesy and Alex both volunteer with Greg before they head out.

Lunch was amazingly cooked by Gemma and I could already tell I was going to love living here. It was nice of Greg to just let in a whole bunch of strangers to live with him.

I sit in between Steven and Jackson on the comfy couch, across from Niall, Josh, and Emily. Then on the couch vertical to mine is Carly, Jade, Liam, and that one girl Andrea.

Everyone has their own smaller conversations before Liam speaks up. "Why don't we get to know each other a little bit?" I nod agreeingly before suggesting that we should start, going in a U shape, ending with Jackson.

"Okay I start." Niall announced, his accent thick and Irish. "I'm Niall, all I've ever really had throughout this shit is Greg. I like to sing, and relationship status: single, ladies." he said confidently and jokingly.

"Alright then." Josh chuckles, making me smile at the older man. "I'm Joshua Ameen, I served in the U.S. Army for twenty years, I have a son, his flight was taking off when it all went down," he pauses and takes a breath, "don't think he even made it out of the U.S.  Although I do think all of you count as my kids anyway." He jokes.

Emily giggles, and straightens her face shyly, understanding it's her turn next. "I'm Emily Sledge. I started my senior year in high school this year, and I was going to get a scholarship to UNI next year but unfortunately that never happened." She giggled cutely. "We were with my brother for a while before he..." She never finished, I nodded at her as she didn't need to finish.

The six of us from my group all knew what had happened to her brother Darren, I wasn't expecting her to bring it up in the first place.

"Ooh Oooh my turn!" Carly raises her hand like an excited school girl. "I was born and raised in South Shields and moved to London when I was sixteen, when I turned twenty one I met Jade, Jesy, Perrie, and our friend Leigh at a pub across from the London eye. Now here we are." She gestured her hands out by her side.

"Where is Leigh?" Steven asks subconsciously, and Carly freezes like ice at the second mention of the girl I'd never met.

"Your guess couldn't be any more or less accurate than mine could. She took off when it began." Carly smiles, sweetly her orange freckles forming around it brightly.

By this time I was surprised all of the men in our huge group were not always mauling Carly to death. She is one of the prettiest women I have ever seen, red hair, turquoise eyes, and perfect skin; she was everything I wanted to be.

Next turn was for Jade herself, "Hi, I'm Jade." She said shyly and adorably. "I was also raised in South Shields. Singing has been my life since I was six years old, and I was at the pub that night celebrating getting a record label, which didn't work out." She tried to make her story sound as happy as she could, which I didn't expect any of ours to be.

"I'm Liam Payne, I lost my family right when it went down, growing up in Wolverhampton I'm not really sure how this all happened, but I know I would've never expected it!" He laughs out. I liked Liam, he seemed like a nice boy.

"Yo I'm Andrea Grey. I was studying to become a doctor in school, if you ever got a boo boo doctor Andrea is gonna fix you up." She laughs out similarly to Liam. She then pointed towards Steven indicating its his turn to introduce himself. After every person had explained their story I found that I had been smiling unconsciously toward their explanations.

"I'm Steven Stark. I'm not really an interesting guy. I got a lot more going on in my mind than people give me credit for," he chuckles and toys with his bottom lip. "I used to alway shoot guns and rifles with my dad, I could kill a walker from 60 yards back, one shot." He nodded slowly. Steven brung my mind back to what I was thinking about Carly, and how much of a killer just her looks could be. Steven's square jaw and light brown eyes could seduct any woman in a heartbeat.

I snapped out of my thoughts realizing it was my turn to tell my friends about myself.

"I'm Danielle Lerman, jackson's fraternal twin sister." I say, pointing one hand towards my brother. "I played soccer or football pretty much my whole life, and I'm not really a cool person, I'm pretty awkward." I announce weirdly, chuckling to myself.

I look to my brother Jackson, waiting for him to speak before a scream echoes through the large house.

(Sorry it's a long chapter and pretty boring. Filler!!! And yes the romance between Niall and Danielle will really kick off soon, and the next few chapters will be better I swear! Enjoy (-:
P.S. Point Of Views will be changing back and forth in the next couple chapters!)
