Hollys pov
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wake up, I'm in my bed, I'm still wearing the same clothes as last night. I turn over and grab my phone, theres a note stuck on it.
I hope you slept well, I told your parents about last night. I brought you up here, but I didn't want to wake you. All the boys hope your okay, especially simon, and we hope to see you today.
-Josh
I can always count on Josh.Hes such a good friend. I remember jumping into his arms last night, I felt so safe. I can't wait to see them today.
After awhile of playing on my phone in bed, I hop up, I put on a pair of leggings and a tank top. I grab Simons sweater that he let me wear last night. My phone is at 100% because Josh was nice enough to plug it in, he's the best. Im still wearing my makeup from yesterday, its barley smudged, so I just leave it. Spray body mist in the air and walk through it. I also spray it on my wrists and neck as if it was perfume. I fix my hair a little and head downstairs. When I get down there no ones home. I make myself a smoothie and a piece of toast. I put peanut butter and a sliced banana on my toast. I sit in the living room and scroll through Netflix. I decide to watch Orange Is The New Black. I watch an episode, then I get up and take my dishes to the sink. I hear my phone ring.
"Hello?" I ask
"Hey Holly! How are you?" Josh says. His voice is so calming, relaxing, it's soothing.
"Im good thanks." I say.
"Good. What are you doing?" Josh asks.
"I just finished watching Netflix and now I'm not doing anything." I say, hoping he'll invite me over, or he can come here. They all can.
"Oh, in that case, do you wanna come over? Vik's recording a video right now but the rest of us aren't doing anything. Maybe a challenge video later but other than that it'll be a pretty chill day. So what do you say?" Josh says.
"Yeah. Sounds good. I'll be over in like 3 seconds." I exclaim. I turn off the tv and run out the door. Its pouring rain, so I sprint over. As I'm running the door opens, I run in.
"Hey! Look who it is!" Harry exclaims, he runs over and hugs me tightly. I look up at him and give him a smile. He lightly kisses me on the head and lets go of me. "Simon! Holly has just arrived!" Harry yells. A few seconds later Simon runs around the corner and down the stairs. He hugs me.
"How are you?" He asks. His smile makes me 100x happier.
"I'm fine." I say enthusiastically and back up from his embrace. "I brought your sweater." I say, handing it to him. He takes it from me, as he takes it his hand lingers on mine for a little longer than it had too. I blush. The boys and I all awkwardly stand there few a few seconds.
"Ok, well I'll text Vik and tell him to come down and see you when he's done his video." Josh says, breaking the silence, and thank god for that. All of the sudden JJ comes running out of the living room, he throws me over his shoulder and runs out. The rest of the boys hoot and howl. I just laugh. After JJ is done, and places me down on the couch the rest of the boys file in. Josh sits beside me, and Jj sits on the other side. They both grab controllers and start playing fifa. Joshs phone dings.
-Josh, Can you send Holly up here please? Thanks.
Josh shows me the message, I nod and head upstairs. I hear the boys ask Josh where I was going. I slowly walk up the stairs, I hear Vik's voice coming from a closed door. I walk up to it and knock. I hear shuffling and the door opens.
"Hi." He says.
"Uh, hi." I reply
"Come in." He says. I nod and walk past him. He gestures for me to sit on his bed, and I do. He sits in his chair. "How are you doing? Really?" He asks. My mind buzzed. I have so many responses, so much I could say.
"Well," I start. "I told the rest of the boys that I'm doing fine, but in all honesty, I have no clue. I'm terrified to go to work, Jake offered to drive me, but I feel like I'm being a bother. I feel like I wasted you guy's time last night, since the police showed up. They could've driven me home." I say, I geel tears falling from my eyes. " I barely slept last night because I was scared, I was playing out scenarios in my head. And to make it worse, the police said the man who tried to hurt me, Dan, might not go to jail because hes not mentally stable and just didn't take his meds yesterday." Im now full on crying, Vik stands up and comes over to me, he sits beside me and puts his arm around me. He calms me down and reassures me that no one will hurt me, because Jake and the sidemen won't let them. He tells me that they're glad I called them and they're honoured that I would ask them for help. He tells me that they all care for me deeply and would do anything to keep me safe. I cry into his shoulder.
"Its all going to be fine, I promise you. We won't let anyone hurt you." He whispers. I nod and sit up. I wipe the tears off my cheeks.
"Thank you, Vik, for everything." He blushes. "Really, I mean it. Thank you." after we talk about his YouTube channel and other things like that, he receives a text.
-Vik? Is Holly still up there with you? Its been a while and we're nervous that she secretly hates us all and that she left. Hah...
Vik shows me the text. He starts to laugh too.
"What should I say?" Vik asks.
"I dont know. Say something clever." I say. I see his eyebrows furrow, then they spring up and he starts typing.
-Yes shes here. I'm holding her hostage.
He shows me what he said, I instantly smile.
"Oh! He's typing!" Vik exclaims.
-Let her go, you'll never get away with it.
-Never.
-Fine. You will pay.
As soon as Simon sends the last text we hear movement in the hall way. A few minutes later we hear shuffling again. Vik and I haven't said a word. We're trying to hear whats going on. He tells me to hide under his desk, I hurry over and crawl under.
"Simon?" Vik yells.
"Open up." Simon says, from outside the door. Vik slowly opens the door. I look through a crack between his desk and the wall. I hold back my laughter. Simon is standing in the door way, the other Sidemen behind him holding nerf guns, except Ethan who's recording it.
"Hand over the girl." Simon says, trying to sound tough.
"Never." Vik exclaims, he jumps and tries to shut the door but he gets shot with nerf bullets. The boys start laughing, Vik falls to the floor pretending to be dead. Simon runs in.
"FOUND HER" Simon yells. I laugh, I crawl out from under the desk.
"My hero." I say sarcastically, we all laugh, I throw my arms around his neck and place a kiss on his cheek. His face gets red.
"We did all the work." Harry says, pouting.
"Right." I say.
"She just likes me better." Simon says. The boys howl, I hear them yell 'Shots fired' and 'OI'. I awkwardly laugh. Harry rolls his eyes. I make eye contact with him, it's extremely awkward, I give him a faint smile. He turns around and goes down the stairs. Ethan puts the camera close to JJ's face.
"Harrys salt-tayyy" Jj says.
"Poor little guy, hes having a temper tantrum." Vik said, they boys all laugh, they laugh until they're weak and slowly fall to the floor. That's another Sidemen joke, Harrys the youngest therefore hes like 12. I'm not sure if they realize I'm only 16. Vik knows I'm only going into year 11, I think. Whatever they'll figure it out.
"Okay, you guys wanna go downstairs?" Josh says. We all agree and start to shuffle out of Vik's room. As I'm about to go downstairs I feel someone grab my wrist, I spin around and see Simon.
"Sorry if that embarrassed you." He said. His eyes met mine. Butterflies flew around in my stomach.
"Oh, no. It was fine, I didn't mind, it was actually kinda fun." I stutter. I can't stop staring at him, although he broke our eye contact every time, I couldn't stop. I examined his face, so soft and beautiful. I shouldn't call him beautiful, I should call him handsome, but he's beautiful. Stunning, gorgeous, hot, cute, handsome, breath taking. Theres not a word that describes his beauty, there never will be, its so, outrageously, outstandingly, completely, entirely indescribable.
"Oh, thats good. Listen, I really-" He starts but gets cut off by the sound of my phone ringing, I grab it out of my back picture.
"Hello?" I say.
"Hi, hun. I need you to come home now please." My mom says.
"Uh, okay. I'll be right there." I say. I hang up the phone.
"My mom needs me home, but I'll talk to you later," I tell Simon as I start walking down the stairs, he follows behind me.
"Uh, okay. I'll see you later." He says. I stand on my tippy toes and kiss him on the cheek, I turn around and walk out the door.
