One Direction One Shots

Overworked

One where the boys are stressed out from extra work and they take it out on Niall.

NIALL POV:
We've had a little bit of extra work for the past few weeks. Today though, I'm already finished since I woke up a little earlier. I wonder if any of the boys are done.

"Guys, do you wanna play some cards?"

"No! We have work to do and you do too!"

"I actually already finished mine," I said sadly.

"Well, then entertain yourself, you baby!"

"Oh, ok..."

I walked off and back to my room.

I decided to just put on some music and take a nap. Maybe the boys would be finished when I woke up. I checked the time to make sure I didn't accidently come back only ten minutes later. 5:04 PM.

I turned on the music and dozed off.

I woke up a little while later to a crash in the kitchen.

I rushed over and saw Louis in the kitchen.

"What's going on?"

"I dropped the plate, what do you think!?"

"Sorry. Want some help cleaning up? Or I could finish cooking."

"You can cook while I clean this up."

"Ok! Did you start anything?"

"NO! Do it yourself!"

"Ok..."

I decided some spaghetti and garlic bread would be good. I boiled some water and put the noodles in. Then I got some tomato sauce. After finishing the spaghetti, I made the garlic bread. I put some cheese and chopped garlic on five pieces of bread, then put them into the toaster.

"Dinner's ready!" I shouted out.

The boys came a few minutes later.

"Can you serve it Niall?"

"Oh, uh, sure."

I put the spaghetti and garlic bread on the plates. Then, I took out some napkins and cheese.

"Everyone wants cheese right?"

"We always get cheese on our spaghetti Niall! Why would that change!?" Zayn shouted.

"Sorry."

I put cheese on all the plates and gave the boys their plates with napkins.

"Uh, utensils!" Louis said.

"Sorry, didn't know I was the server."

"It's not that hard Niall. You barely do any work for the band anyways."

"Sorry," I said, quiter this time.

The boys started eating.

I was really hungry from staring at the food for so long, so I ate it pretty quickly.

"You're such a pig Niall."

"Why are you being so mean?" I asked sadly.

"We're not being mean, like I said, you're just being an annoying little brat."

I looked up. At that point, I was really tired of all their complaining and insults, so I just put my dishes in the sink, and left.

I was still hungry but I figured I could sneak back into the kitchen later.

"What a baby," Louis said.

After hearing that, I started running, tears streaming down my face.

I sobbed into my pillow, for what felt like hours, but was probably only a few minutes. Once I had collected myself, I turned on some more music and went back to sleep.

I woke up the next morning, to Louis shaking me.

"We're going to a meeting with Simon. All of us."

"What for?"

"I called it. Simon can tell you."

"Ok..."

At the Meeting
"Ok, you're all here now," Simon said, "Niall, I'm guessing you don't know what this meeting is about?"

I shook my head.

"Ok, Louis and the other boys were concerned you weren't doing as much work as you since you were always finished. But, don't worry because I know how much work you're doing compared to the rest of your bandmates."

The boys looked confused about the last part.

"Wait, Niall-" Louis started but Simon cut him off.

"Nope. Perhaps I'll show you a pie chat to show you how much work each of you have been doing for the band."

I was a little worried. He said he knew how much work I was doing compared to the others. That could be a lot of work, or basically none at all.

But, when he showed us the pie chart, it showed I'd been doing more work than any of the other bandmates! More than all of them combined!

"As you can see here, Niall has been doing 80% of the work for this band. You each..." he pointed at Harry, Liam, Louis, and Zayn, "have only been doing 5% each."

The boys looked shocked. I was too.

"How did you fit all of this work Niall?" Simon asked.

"Well, Simon already knows that I usually wake up around 4:00 or 5:00, then sleep around 12:00 or 1:00. I work for basically the whole day."

"Five hours of sleep at most!?"

"How long have you kept this sleep schedule?"

"Um, a few months, or years... but not the past few days. I went to bed around 1:00 PM two nights ago because... you were being kind of mean to me. And yesterday I slept around 6:00 or 7:00 PM."

"Niall, we're sorry about how we've been treating you. We promise to do more work from now on, ok?" Liam said, sadly.

I nodded.

"Meeting closed. I'll leave you five to talk," Simon said, closing the door as he left.

"How come you were being mean?" I asked, sadly.

"We're sorry Niall, we were just a little stressed out because we weren't used to all the extra work we were getting, though you've been getting much more," Harry said.

"I wanna get Nando's."

The boys chuckled.

"Ok, let's go."

Then we headed to Nando's, and the boys treated me better, and I got less work, fixing my sleep schedule.

I know the ending was crap but hope you enjoyed!
