Trust, Love, and Lost Relations

Surprise! Guess Who's Back!

Felicity's P.O.V.

It's been a week since the boys left to start their tour. It's been really... lonely. Katrish and Lexi haven't really come to visit much, too busy doing other things. They've been staying as far away from here as possible most times, trying to distract themselves from the loneliness

And Chris still thinks we're being ridiculous, and hasn't talked to us since the day before the boys left. Apparently, he thinks we're moping too much.

The only person here is Clarissa, and she doesn't leave her room. Not that she ever did before, but still. It's just me walking around the empty house. Since everyone left, it feels like it's way too big. Our parents have come to visit a few times, but they can only stay a few hours, because they're busy.

I understand that everyone has coping methods, but mine has always been listening to music, and that doesn't help, because all it does is remind me of Niall. And Harry, Zayn, Liam, and Louis. It doesn't help anymore, it makes it worse.

I've been obsessively cleaning every room in the house for the past five days. Which isn't helping much anymore, because I've cleaned the house so much, there isn't anything left to clean.

I sighed at myself as I lay in bed. Our bed, now just mine. I shook the thought out of my head. I'm being ridiculous. It's just my brother, friends, and boyfriend. It isn't like they're dead. They'll come back eventually. And since when does my life revolve around boys?! Jesus, Felicity. You're being ridiculous. Snap out of it!

I got up, hopped in the shower, and then went downstairs. I turned on the kettle, and waited for the water to boil. I occupied myself by sweeping the floor, and then getting the mop. Ok, I think I've become obsessive... The kettle went off before I could start mopping, so I put the mop against the wall, and poured my tea while the bucket filled up.

I then started mopping the floor, stopping every few minutes to sip my tea. I eventually got the mopping done, and finished my tea, so I went upstairs to brush my teeth. I picked out an outfit of a short top that didn't quite cover my stomach and a pair of high-waisted shorts, and then threw my hair up into a messy side bun.

I grabbed my keys, and went down the hall, knocking on Clarissa's door. I walked in afterwards, " I'm going grocery shopping. Do you you need anything?"

"Uh, nope, I don't think so," she replied.

"Kay, I'll be back soon," I told her. With that, I closed her bedroom door behind me, and closed and locked the front door. Holy fuck, it's hot out here, was my first thought when I got outside. I groaned, realizing that it was going to be even hotter in my car. Dammit.

I eventually just decided to get over it, because it didn't take long for my air conditioning to kick in anyways. When I got in, I had to adjust my seat. I mentally cursed Lexi for her tallness, and then started the car. She was the last person to drive my car, and my seat was too far back. The drive to the grocery store was about ten minutes.

When I got out, I made sure to grab my list, because God knows I need it. We eat so much. I blame Niall. His eating habits rubbed off on me. Speaking of Niall, I hadn't heard from him at all today... then I remembered that it was my turn to text first. He knew how self conscious I got when I texted first, so we made a plan a few days ago that we would take turns texting first, and so far, it was working great.

I checked the time. Here it was 11:00 AM, so what would the time in Minneapolis be? I quickly looked it up on google. It said there was a time difference of -2 hours. So, they'd be two hours behind, right? I just decided to go with it. If they were two hours behind, it would've been 9AM. I figured they'd probably be awake by now. And if not, Niall could wake up anyways, because he loved me, I thought to myself, giggling a little.
