Sarah's POV
No, he couldn't have found out. Not this soon. And now I would have to go and explain to him. Tell him the story. The story. Shit.
I walked up the stairs as slow as I could possibly go. Today had been going just great. When I arrived up the stairs, he was exploring the workout room. "What is this?!" He asked clearly annoyed. I couldn't come up with a cover so I just told him what it was.
"It's a workout room" I told him. "Why didn't I know about this?" He asked again. "Well.. Me and Ashly had it added to the house when it was being renovated."
"That didn't answer my question. Why. Didn't I. Know. About. This." He asked sternly. "Because we didn't need another person worrying about our past affecting our future."
He had a clearly confused expression on his face. "Please explain to me?". I sighed and walked out of the workout room and into the closet, then the bedroom.
I sat down on the bed and he followed closely behind and sat down next to me. I took a deep breath and calmed myself. My lips were moving and I was speaking clearly but my mind was wandering a topic completely different to this one. I wasn't even thinking about what I was saying. Why do I know this story so well? How many times have I been waiting to let it go and just tell someone?
I felt so relieved to just rant to someone who would listen. At one point a tear slid down my cheek leaving a watery trail. This was a scary thing to remember but I knew to be strong and I remember, everything always turns out.
Niall's eyes turned from a confused stern look to what of a sympathetic one. No words were spoken. He held me in a deep embrace for a long, long time.
Then we just talked. At first he was unsure about talking about this topic to me, as if he was afraid I might not want to. I told him I needed to talk to someone and he listened. I told him how the workout room would help keep us fit and safe.
He was disappointed at first, knowing that we hadn't told him and Harry before. Now, he understands why. Me and Ashly agreed to let Harry and Niall even use the room if they wanted to.
We walked downstairs hand-in-hand and joined Harry and Ashly. Ashly gave me a look asking how things went. I smiled in return and that gave her enough of a hint to know things went well.
"So what should we do now?" Harry asked.
We all kind of looked around not sure what to do, as we realized none of us had thought about that today.
"I'm going to make buns!" I exclaimed. They all shrugged their shoulders, obviously not interested in making buns with me. "Fine, your loss!!" I said.
"Well, Ashly and I are going to a club" Harry said giving Ashly a smirk.
"And I..... Am going to sleep!" Niall announced. "I'm going to go get ready!!!" Ashly said while running upstairs.
I hopped to the kitchen and Niall jumped onto the couch and onto Harry. Harry yelped and hopped up the stairs, following Ashly. A long, long time ago, my grandma taught me how to make these delicious buns and I was going to see if I could still remember the recipe.
I pre-heated the oven and gathered my ingredients. I made the dough and kneaded it well. Then I put it into the pans and set the pan in the oven. Hmmm... Now was it 4 hours or 8 hours?
I thought "what the hell" and put it in for 8 (I'm a special child). If anything goes wrong, I can just take it out, right? After waiting for what seemed like forever, I still had 7 1/2 hours left -.-
I gave up waiting and hopped next to Niall on the couch.
*RING*RING*RING*
I groggily lifted my head, WAIT A SEC WAS THAT THE SMOKE ALARM!?!? I ran up and saw that my buns were on fire. The beeping was killing my ears so I decided to turn off the smoke alarm first (yes, I am a special child)
