A Happily Never After (A Niall Horan Fanfic)

Lessons and Freak Outs

TWO DAYS LATER

"So you're just gonna leave me here to fend for myself?" Clara complained.

"I'll be back soon. I think you'll be fine!"

I ran out the door and onto the elevator. I told Clara that I had a meeting to go to but really I was just going to the boys' house. Today was their first of three days off. I ran out of the lobby and down a few blocks to the bus stop.

Immediately after I knocked, I saw Harry greeting me at the door with a knowing smirk on his face.

"What?" I said walking past him.

"Nothing, just nice to see you." He gave me a light hug before leading me to the couch in the living room. Niall and Zayn were playing a video game and Liam was eating a banana.

"Hey guys!" I said, plopping myself next to Niall. Liam gave me an energetic wave and Zayn just mumbled a hi, too involved with his game, which appeared to be Mario Kart. Niall paused the game to Zayn's annoyance.

"Hey Lenn," he kissed my cheek causing me to turn a light shade of pink. The boys, to my surprise, acted like it was the most normal thing ever.

"I'm guessing you told them," I laughed.

"We coaxed it out of him. Hi Lennon," Zayn said, greeting me properly, giving me a wave.

"Well okay, you're lucky!" I groaned. "The reason I came over here--"

"Was to see me." Harry winked, putting his arm over my shoulder.

"Umm, no," Niall interrupted, causing Harry to laugh.

"I came over here to ask you for help. My best friend is visiting and I haven't told her I was dating you," I turned to Niall.

"What's so hard about that?" Niall asked.

"Well she might be a little obsessed with you guys and it might be my fault."

"Why is it your fault?" Zayn asked, laughing.

"Because I needed to watch the X-Factor with someone so I told her about it, I just didn't tell her I knew Niall."

"Awwww you watched X-Factor for me?" Niall asked.

"Niall you knew that, now shut up and let me finish." I wacked his arm.

"Sassy," Liam said.

"Well, I have to tell her I'm dating Niall so I have an idea."

I was half asleep on the boys's couch when I heard footsteps. I opened my eyes and saw Louis walk in holding hands with someone. I rubbed my eyes so they would focus, and when they finally did, I knew who it was immediately. My jaw dropped. Eleanor Calder had just walked into the room and she was about 10billion times prettier in person. Is that even possible?

"Oh, hey Lennon, I didn't know you were here. This is Eleanor," Louis grinned, showing off his girlfriend.

She smiled at me brightly. "Oh so this is Lennon. I've heard so much from Niall." I looked over at Niall who face palmed himself. I giggled. "I'm Eleanor." She walked over to me and sat down between Harry, who had fallen asleep on the edge of the couch, and me. She opened her arms and gave me a tight hug. She was just like Louis.

"I've heard so much about you from Louis. In fact he doesn't shut up about you. Ever." She giggled, turning towards a blushing Louis.

"Babe," Louis piped in, "Why don't you talk to Lennon in the other room about some stuff."
