*Kat’s POV*
I stepped out of the shower and wrapped myself in a towel. My shower made me feel a little better but now I was hungry and the thought of food made my stomach churn. Instinctively I walked into Niall’s room and found everything how it always was, right down to the mess of garbage and dirty clothes on the floor. I made my way over to the dresser and knelt down opening the bottom right hand drawer to find that my stash of clothes were still there. The only problem was that they were from when I was like twelve and probably didn’t fit anymore so I dug around until I found an old t-shirt and some boxers of Niall’s, I slipped them on and walked down stairs determined to find something to eat that wouldn’t have me running to the toilet. As I walked into the living room I stopped cold as I saw Greg along with all five member of one direction and…Emily? Emily and Harry were in some sort of heated discussion that left them both oblivious to the world around them while Louis and Liam played some video game I couldn’t care less about but Niall was watching them play intently. Greg and Zayn didn’t look up from their phones but occasionally interjected in Harry and Emily’s conversation I wasn’t so much stunned that one direction was there but more that Niall was there. What if he was mad at me for losing touch? What if he didn’t remember me? What if he thought Greg and I had hooked up or something? But all of my fears vanished when he looked up at me and gave me a smile that reminded me of Christmas mornings when we were younger.
“I take it the hangover food is for you since Greg hasn’t touched it?” Niall asked with a laugh.
I glared over at Greg and asked “You made him pick me up Bart’s?”
“Yeah” he replied.
“Well why’d you make him get why didn’t you go get it?”
“It was on his way!” he shouted defensively “besides you already dragged me out of the house once this morning I wasn’t going to leave again.”
I rolled my eyes and walked around to sit next to Niall grabbing the bag of food in the process. “Well thank you” I say to Niall offering him a smile.
“No problem” he replied as I scarfed down a burrito.
Emily had become distracted from her conversation with Harry and asked curiously “Do y’all know each other or something?”
“Yeah she grew up next door Niall and her are like best friends” Greg answered, confused as to why she was asking.
“Katherine Elaine Michelson!” Emily exclaimed “You knew Niall Horan and you never told me!”
“First of all lower your voice I’m hung-over,” I requested “second of all are you forgetting that I had to Google one direction because I didn’t know what it was? If I had told you that I didn’t know about one direction and then turned around and told you that I knew Niall you never would have believed me!”
“Yeah ok I guess your right” she conceded.
“How do you know them?” I asked.
“We met at star bucks this morning.” She laughed.
“OK I want to go back to this ‘best friends’ comment of Greg’s.” Louis stated.
“What about it!” I asked defensively.
“Well first of all we’ve never heard him mention you,” he stated sassily “second of all we’re his best friends” he added motioning between him and the other members of the boy band.
“Really?” I replied sarcastically “Did he accidently break your finger when you were three by closing it in a car door?”
“No.”
