Living Next Door to 1D

Chapter 9

Wednesday. And no school! I've finally been freed! I'm about a week and a half there will be a graduation ceremony for us but in the meantime I'm going to visit some family in London. I've always wanted to go, and of course Niall is performing close by, so I hope I'll get to see him.

Speaking of the boys, I finally named the group chat last night. "Corden's Angels and Olivia the Emotion"

I love it so much!!! It's a really cute and funny name. Well, the boys and I stayed up all night chatting, and of course I explained the phone situation. Parental controls, you know...

They understand though, so now I use my laptop to talk with them and I'm also trying to figure out how to tell my parents that our neighbors are my heroes, the people who've saved my life and they don't even know about it? I still don't know how I'll break the news.

I haven't been to see the boys today, I actually just woke up and I have no idea what time it is. I deserve to sleep in after all the hours I lost studying during the year but–oh my goodness it's 1pm!!! I went to sleep at 11.30, if it was even that late!

I open my laptop and sure enough, 73 messages from the group chat. I skim through them quickly and they all say basically the same thing.

"Olivia? Are you there?"

"Olivaaaa good morningggg"

"Did you die luv?"

"Did she forget about us?"

"For some reason, no Louis I do not think Olivia forgot about us"

I quickly type out a response.

"Hello everyone! Sorry I was catching up on sleep, I just got out of bed *sheepish face emoji* how's everyone doing?" I send it and two seconds later I have a message.

"SHE'S ALIVE!!" (AN meant to be read in Louis' voice when he says "she's mine!" heh)

"She has come back to us!"

"No I didn't forget you Louis how could I?"

"Oh good I thought you'd gotten amnesia or something and left us hanging here..."

I laughed out loud and suddenly my door opened.

"Olivia! Good morning, did you sleep well?"

"Yeah I did, you?" I ask, being pleasant.

"Pretty good as well, thanks for asking," she says, headed out the door. "By the way, remember to pack for London, you're leaving in five days!"

"That's the point though, I'm leaving in five days. I don't even know the weather there, if I need to get out my summer clothes already or not..."

"Think... rain," my mom says with a smile, and goes out my door.

"Ha ha," I say to myself. It's true though, what is the weather in London for this coming week? Well, it's definitely raining. I'll text my aunt and ask her what exactly I should bring. In the meantime, how do I tell my parents?

I go back to the group chat and I ask the boys.

"How do I tell my parents you're our neighbors? They're not exactly your biggest fans"

I wait for a couple minutes but there's no response.

"Now you're the ones who've forgotten about me!"

Still nothing. I sigh and close my laptop. I decide to text my aunt what exactly I should bring to London. After a while, she says I should bring "summer clothes but also winter clothes". Sorry but I only have one backpack! I'll take a couple of long pants, one pair of shorts, two sweatshirts... my mind wanders off thinking about it. I should probably get started.
