Tomlinson was the best thing to happen to me (Watty's '13)

Return

"The boys are back in London today."

"Awesome awesome awesome!"

"Yeah, I thought so. You really like Niall."

"Nup, just glad Lou's back. It's been so different without him."

"Stop kiddin' yourself!"

"No. Seriously, I've never spent any more than 4 weeks without him or his family around, and that was in Germany."

"You got anything from Germany?"

"Bits of the Berlin Wall for my brothers… I had Currywurst which is quite… interesting, invented in Berlin. I went just before and during Oktoberfest which lasts for 2 weeks and they all just get drunk. And, I had beer legally because I'd just turned 16 the second day of the trip. I'm still emailing my host sister, Theresa every so often, though I need to write out my reply to her before sending it so I save time on my computer because of policy at home." To put it nicely.

"Which part of Germany?"

"All over the place, but I had a homestay near Munich, a place called Fürstenfeldbruck. And Theresa's dad, who's another Harry, works at a brewery. Had the time of my life in Germany." A knock sounded on the door of my flat. "That should be Niall. Or Louis." I was wrong.

"Hello."

"Liam!" I engulfed him in a midget's bear hug. And met Danielle for the first time.

"Whoa! Let… go of me…" I reluctantly obeyed. "Annabelle, this is my girlfriend Danielle." First thought: bloody hell, her hair!

"Hello."

"Cool Asian kid!"

"Seriously? That's the best you can come up with? I'll talk to you over lunch. But right now, LOUIS?" I'd shouted for my best friend, squeaking like Louis does all the time. I'm very much used to it. Danielle winced.

"Annabelle, I've spent plenty of time with Louis doing that, I don't need a reincarnation of him, thank you very much." I couldn't tell if she was serious or joking. Louis poked his head out of his door.

"Hey!"

"Hey!" I repeat.

"Hey!" Niall's head poked out of Harry's door from the other side. Liam and Danielle retreated to flat 3.

"He-ey!" Harry's head poked out, above Niall's head.

"Hiiiiiiii!" That would be Zayn. He's the other guy who squeaks and returns to his regular voice.

"Zayn's extra happy because he asked Rebecca out," Louis told me.

"Who's Rebecca?"

"She's 24, from Liverpool."

"Gorlog's horns!" I exclaimed. Louis sighed.

"There she goes again."

"There's nothing wrong with that, Lou!"

"I have a problem with what she does. You'd have a problem too if she kept up this Gorlog thing for 3 years."

"No one told my mother to buy me Rangers' Apprentice books, right?"

"No one told you to read Rangers' Apprentice books, right?"

"Except I kinda had to, ma bought them for me, if I didn't read them dad would've gotten angry and no one wants that."

"Lunch'll be rea-dy in a coup-le minutes. Tacos today. Yay!" Why. The. Heck. Was. Niall. There. He'd eat all the ingredients before Harry'd prepared it! And anyway, I thought he'd hang with Liam or Zayn instead of Harry! I don't even know who I can turn to just to talk. Talk to Niall and it's hard to confront, talk to Liam, Louis or Zayn and they'll end up with nothing effective said, talk to Harry and I'll find a way to get myself out of it. Maybe Danielle? I dunno.
