My Brother's Bandmate

Two

"What is he doing here again?", Harry whispers for the nth time.

"Harry he is a friend.", I scold.

"Yeah a friend whom you met just 15 minutes ago.", he scoffs.

I roll my eyes.

"Brad is new in town Harry. I just felt like inviting him over for dinner so he doesn't feel left out.", I reply.

When I reached the grocery store I had bumped into Brad while he was trying to pick an ice cream as well. We had a small talk and I learned that he had just moved into town and had basically nothing in his fridge so he was gonna survive on ice cream. But me being the awesome person I am offered him dinner at my house as there was already plenty for the boys. He hesitated at first but eventually gave in. Now here I am surrounded by the boys. The boys and Brad clicked instantly but Harry was being his tough-self. My mom had also welcomed him warm heartedly and asked him to come whenever he liked.

"Geh..... geh..", Brad hesitates with my name.

"It's Gehna." I cut him off. I know my name is kinda Indian and it's hard to pronounce for britishers but still. I mean its very irritating at times. Like no one gets my name. Even the boys took time to adjust to it and even now it's not perfect. Well obviously. Actually my aunt was inspired by some Indian named Gehna. It means jewelry. (A/N: ok so my name is pronounced like the g being g in grapes and not how it is in gentle with a j sound)

"Sorry, um don't worry you will get it with time", I smile.

"Ok so what I was saying was that thank you so much for this. You're
a great friend.", Brad continues.

"Oh it's no problem.", I reply.

"So do you wanna maybe you know hangout sometime tomorrow?", he asks.

" I would love to", I reply excited.

"No she can't ", Harry says almost immediately.

" I can't?", I ask him confused. He better not ruin anything.

"No you can't. You have to spend time with us. We haven't hung out in what 6 months?", he speaks.

I hum in reply. Groaning internally I give Brad an apologetic look.

"Give me your phone. I'll punch in my number for you. Then you
call me whenever you want so we can hangout any other day. You see Harry here the 'brother I never had' wants some brother sister bonding tomorrow so it won't be possible, right?", I turn to look at Harry.

Now it was my turn to laugh at his face. Did he think he is the only one who can call me sister. Wrong. ( cue evil laugh)

" Umm yaa.", he looks nervous.

Okay so there is something these lads aren't telling me. Harry is never this protective over me . He just jokes here and there and we get along quite well. But.. this one time it was different. Maybe he cared about me. But I thought soon.

"Gehna, we need to talk.", Harry says as soon as Brad leaves.

"Mmmkay.", I say unsure.

***********

We are all currently sitting in the living room, me having my head in my hands.

As soon as Brad left Harry approached me saying they all wanted to talk to me. So this is what happened.

"Gehna, we need to talk.", Harry said as soon as Brad left.

"Mmmkay.", I said unsure.

" Listen , we know you must have thought that how we just suddenly showed up. ", Niall spoke up .

Well maybe I thought that but how did they know? Did I say it out loud like I usually do when I am curious?

"But you are always welcome...", I tried to say but got cut off.

"We know that but what we are trying to say is that we have to go under ground for a while as we are getting mobbed by fans. We had two weeks off from next Thursday, one week from now, but I guess we will have to extend our vacay and change our location.", Louis explained.

Oooh so that is why Harry didn't want me going out so I would by mistake spill their hiding place aka my house. What a douche.

Sure it was Zayn's place too but we shifted from our old house in Bradford and no one really knew about the new house much.

"So you are telling this to me because....", I trailed off , hoping they would complete the sentence.

"We need your helppp.", Louis stretched it out.

How am I supposed to help them. They sure wont last here more than two or more days with all of them at the same place. Soo.... where could they possibly hide.

"Guys I told you she won't be able to help us.", Harry said as soon as an idea popped into my head.

I scoffed loudly and turned my head towards Zayn.

"Zayn remember that cruise our uncle owns?", he nodded as I asked him." We can ask him to give it to us for a week and we can take it to that island far up north where we used to go as kids? I mean after one week I am sure all of this would have died down a bit and then we can return. You lads can also ask your friends, girlfriends or whoever to come and I will ask mine. We anyways are getting a month off from our institute. What say?", I gave an idea.

"And as I had said my sister would have an idea, she does and an awesome one it is.", Zayn praised me.

It used to be like this when we were younger too. He would come to me with his problems and I would always have a solution. Not only him but I would also go to him with my problems.

" That is a very good idea, Gehna. We can have fun for once after this hectic schedule of ours.", Liam said excited. Everyone nodded even Harry.

So it was settled we were going on a cruise with lots of our friends. And it was not just any cruise. It was like a freaking big hotel, a very big one with all the facilities. And that island had a resort and many water sports. We are totally gonna rock it and we are heading out day after. I have to go shopping and what not. Good lord this trip better be good.
