Outfit: Same as last chapter, except her 'pj's'. Its not hard to make a mental image of that though!
Chapter 3
Hollys POV
We laughed and talked mostly until it was about 10 in the evening.
I hear a rumble. It was thunder. Jesus I hated thunder, especially when I was home alone! My mom was currently visiting a friends in Dublin and my dad was on a business trip due back in 2 days.
Then the power went out.
Nononono. This isn't good. No power. No one home. And a storm. I bite my lip hard. I wouldn't be able to fall asleep. In fact I would probably stay pushed up against my bed head sobbing with fear. I was absolutely horrified.
I didn't even notice I started shaking. I felt like I was going to faint or have a panic attack.
"Hey Holly, are you alright?" asks Zayn worridely, he was currently sitting next to me. We had switched quite a few times actually. Everyone wanted a turn sitting by me. They literally were all treating me like the new toy in the class. Everyone wanted to talk to me, or ask me a question, or have me admit that I'm their favorite. It was quite amusing, to be honest. Hilarous even at times. Right now I was inbetween Zayn and Liam, even though Liam wasn't going along with the kindergartener thing, he still sat by me.
Even though me and Liam were very diffrent from eachother, I could tell we would get in quite well. He seemed a bit daddy-like and always having to calm down the boys. I'm sure he got a bit wild sometimes though. If he was with me then there was no chance but to pppaaarrrtteeyy.
"Er, n-ye-maybe," I stutter, closing my eyes trying to calm down. *breathe in, breath out* I repeat to myself constantly.
"Are you sure, love?" asks Harry. From what I could see, all their faces were contorted into one of genuine worry. They really were sweet boys. I shake my had gripping the edge of the couch, trying to blink back tears. Liam puts an arm around me, attempting to comfort me and I accept, leaning my head into his chest. I felt somewhat safe in his strong grip. The fact the his biceps and abs I have studied in hundreds of pictures were in contact or only a sliver of fabric away was not helping my already hyperventialting breath.
He was so toned I was in shock.
"I guess," I say, a tad more confident this time.
"She's in Leeyums protective arms, so she must feel a whole lot better. Right, Holland?" says Louis. I could sense the smirk in his voice. He would not drop the name! It was really starting to get on my nerves! But nonetheless, Louis and I were already becoming friends. He was so funny and always smiling. If I were to get mad at him, I wouldn't stay that way for long. He's already used the puppy dog face on me multiple times and I swear it works every single time!
"Shut up," mummbles Liam, causing the room the erupt with laughter. I could tell Liam was probably blushing as well.
"Oh lighten up Lili!" exclaims Harry from his spot next to Louis. We sat in a semi-awkward silence for a couple minutes until a large clap of thunder hits. I shriek and jump, going back to my previous panic mode.
"Oh, Holly are you still scared of storms like you used to be?" asks Niall.
"Mhmm," I reply, scared of what my voice would sound like if I formed actual words in my mouth. Probably a mix of fear, desperation and sadness.
"Oh! She can stay over! Sleeeeeeppppooovvveeeerrrrr ppppppppaaaaaarrrrrrrttttttteeeeeeeyyyy!" drags out Louis.
"Louis you're scaring her!" scold Liam.
"She won't be scared as long as she's in your protective arms," says Louis dreamily, bringing my cheeks back to a bright crimson probably.
Liam quickly unravels his arm from shoudler, leaving me a tad colder than I was a couple of minutes ago. "So what do you think?" Harry's thick british accent asks me. Eh! What the hell? Better than being in a dark house by myself.
"Sure," I chirp, offering them all a small smile.
"Yay!" some of them exclaim.
"Now to build a fort...." states Louis, trialing of on his last word.
****2 hours later****
2 hours, 10 blankets and lots of bickering later, we were settled in our mattress made of duvets and other plush things. The bickering was over who got to sleep next to me. We settled it by picking out of a hat to determine which order we were in.
Left to right it went: Zayn, Niall, Harry, Louis, Me, Liam
I had borrowed a air of sweatpants and an over sized tee-shirt from Niall dearest. I had also made good use of Maura's make-up remover and face soap.
"I must looks like such a whore to Jesus right now," I giggle, pointing out that I was the only girl in a house of five guys. Maura was currently at a friends home, probably staying the night and Nialls dad was with them. The boys laughed louder than I've ever heard them laugh, piercing my ear drums. It wasn't that funny. It was just an obcservation.
We talked for about an hour, until I checked the clock on my phone and it told me it was 1:30 AM. I yawnned. "How bout we get some rest?" I suggest, trying multiple positions until I decide to just sleep on my back.
"Yes, that probably a good idea," confims Liam.
"Goodnight!" exlcaims Louis, turning to face Harry.
"Night," I mumble, drifting off into the best sleep I've ever had during a storm, surrounded by five boys, 4 of whom I have only just met. But I already knew that they were just teenage boys. And teenage boys that I could definetely see in my future.
