Zoey
After lunch, I decided to help out Cassey and the butlers clean up after the boys. Cassey was too kind, I know it was their job to clean up after us but just because I entered this house, doesn't mean I should stop doing the regular things I do back at home. I would always help my mother clean up the table after every meal, I'd even wash the dishes beside her. I remember singing one of our favourite songs by the boys with her in the kitchen. Dancing around as we washed the dishes. It was such a sweet memory. I only smiled as I entered the kitchen with the dirty plates we had used. I placed them down in the sink, I then turned towards the door seeing Cassey smile at me.
"Thank you ma'am-"
She said, almost bowing again until I stopped her.
"Oh Cassey, please. There's no need to bow every time, I feel flattered enough just living under the same roof as these boys. But please, you can call me Zoey, it would really make me feel like we're friends,"
I told her. She only looked at me, almost shocked after what I had just told her. She then smiled and nodded.
"Thank you, Zoey. Don't worry about the dishes though, I can take it from here. You should really get a chance to catch up with your brother and get to know the boys. Ever since Louis heard that you were going to stay with him for a couple of months, he was really excited to reunite with you again. Even getting a chance to see your parents before they leave."
My heart nearly skipped a beat the moment she told me how Louis felt about me coming to stay with him. Does he talk about me a lot? It seems like he missed me more than I miss him. I only smiled at the thought knowing he has not stopped thinking about me, it really shows that he has not changed one bit, which I absolutely love about him. Cassey then walked towards the sink and turned on the tap to run warm water over the dishes. I walked out of the kitchen and entered the dining room, seeing 2 other maids cleaning up the table and setting the chairs back to where they used to be. Suddenly I heard the boys in the other room, perhaps the living room. I followed their voices while checking my phone for any messages from my parents to see if they had made it to the airport safely. Before I could entire the living room, I bumped into someone.
"Oh, I'm sorry."
I apologized instantly and looked up seeing I had accidentally bumped into Harry. I could feel my face start to warm up as soon as he smiled at me. I quickly looked away hoping he didn't notice.
"No problem, love."
His husky voice nearly made me shiver, not in a bad way but, I nearly felt like I was going to faint after hearing it for some reason. Oh jeez. I cleared my throat and nodded after he had said that and walked passed him to enter the living room. I could feel everyone's attention draw towards me as I entered the room. I tried not to make too much of a big deal about it and just acted normal as I sat on the couch next to Niall, with my eyes glued to my legs and my hands clasped together, fidgeting with my thumbs. The conversation I walked into wasn't really much, I don't think I missed anything until,
"So what are we up to today?"
Niall said beside me, I finally looked away from my legs and around the room to see Louis stand up and sigh.
"Ok, we aren't really going anywhere today so we'll hang out here and maybe get to know Zoey for awhile?"
My eyes widened, I could feel my face start to turn red again. All eyes on me, again. I cleared my throat.
"Um, maybe I'll-"
I started, until Louis interrupted me. 
"Nah little sis, we haven't seen each other in a long time, I'd really love to catch up with you."
He said, genuinely with the sweetest voice. I couldn't help but smile.
"Maybe you could tell us one of Louis most embarrassing stories as a kid."
Zayn asked, everyone chuckled after his comment, including me. Suddenly, a whole bunch of memories with Louis just flashed throughout my mind. There were so many I could share, but I know Louis would hate me if I did.
"Hey there Lads, let the lady breathe, she's still getting used to the fact that she has to stay with you boys for a couple of months,"
Louis said, trying to calm my nerves, he noticed how quiet I've been around them since I started eating with them earlier. I did have my fun moments with them at the table, but even then I still barely spoke, I would only laugh a few times. Jeez, what is wrong with me? I'm not usually this quiet. 
"Don't worry Zoey, we promise, we aren't that bad. Hopefully Louis didn't scare you," 
Liam said, smiling at me. I smiled back and took a deep breath. I thought long and hard what I could say to these boys. One embarrassing memory with Louis when we were kids? There was so many but the one that I remember the most was, 
"Ok well, let me think, I remember the time when Louis and I went to a petting zoo on my 11th birthday,"
I mentioned. In an instant, Louis stared directly at me with the look of fear on his face. I could see sweat start to pour from his head, he knew exactly what I was talking about, I couldn't help but smirk at him.
"Don't you dare say it, Zoe."
He warned me, the guys looked at me, curious to know. With the looks on their faces, I didn't feel nervous anymore, especially after I tell them what happened that day and I could only imagine how this will turn out. Their attention wouldn't be pointed towards me after I tell them.
"What happened?"
Zayn asked, everyone grew more excited just waiting for me to tell them. Liam, who was sitting next to Louis, put a hand over on his shoulder,
"Do we know this story mate? I'd be a little bit hurt if we haven't heard it yet?" 
Liam teased hearing everyone chuckle and look back at me. 
"Well, this goat kinda-"
Louis then stood up. I already knew what he was about to do, so I instantly reacted. I stood up as well and ended up running into the dining room to avoid him from catching me to shut my mouth. I ran all the way to the other end of the table with him on the other side. I noticed that the boys in the living room only stood up and looked directly towards us in the dining room. I held onto one of the chairs in front of me.
"Don't say it!"
He warned me, as he tried to run to one side of the table but I ran down the other side to avoid him. 
"The goat kinda licked his-"
I continued until I screamed when I saw him continue to run down the other side of the table to try to catch me but I ended up running back into the living room and instantly hid behind Niall, holding onto his shirt from behind, peeking my head over his shoulder. Louis had finally made it back into the living room. 
"Come on lass, tell us already!" Niall said in front of me, the boys couldn't stop chuckling, waiting for an answer. Louis stared at me after entering the living room. 
"The goat licked his entire face!" 
I finally confessed, suddenly feeling my heart drop the second I saw Louis' eyes widen. 
"Louis?! You never told us your first kiss was with a goat mate!" 
Liam shouted out loud hearing all of the boys burst out laughing seeing Louis ran after me. I let go of Niall and tried to book it for the stars until he finally caught up to me and grabbed me, throwing me over his shoulder. I screamed and let myself hang over his shoulder, trying to hold in my laughter after remembering the memory in my head.
"Let me go please?"
I can tell he frowned after I asked him. 
"No."
"Please?"
I pleaded, knowing he rolled his eyes and smiled.
"Awe come on, let the lass go, your poor sister was just being honest you know?"
Niall said, I know for a fact Louis glared at him after that comment, which only made me giggle.
"Make me,"
Louis said, suddenly I heard someone stand up. I bent my body to the side to see all of the boys standing completely upside down from where I was and noticed Liam was the one who stood up.
"Louis Tomlinson! Put your sister down now!!!"
Liam yelled. I blinked and stared at him and seconds after, Louis had pulled me down to stand up straight again. I turned to the boys and saw the looks on their faces after Liam's instruction. They all looked terrified.
"Really? Liam scared you guys?!"
I asked and suddenly all of the boys gasped and looked at me. My eyes widened at their reactions, both Niall and Zayn sitting behind Liam shook their heads and mouthed to me. 
"That's a bad idea,"
Louis then put his hand over his head and rubbed the back of his head trying to avoid eye contact with me. 
"What did you say young lady?"
He asked, I nearly felt my heart jump out of my chest after he had said that. The look on his face had suddenly changed, completely out of no where. Aside from that completely throwing me off guard, it hadn't changed my facial expression, if anything, I stood my ground and crossed my arms over my chest and told him,
"You heard me."
I smiled, so sweet and innocently, completely unprepared of what might come my way. I made sure to show them that it didn't scare me one bit, but in reality, I was. Silence filled the room, seeing Liam frown at me. I only gulped.
"Um Zoey? You might wanna-"
Harry warned seeing Liam instantly ran after me. I screamed and laughed as I made my way towards the stairs and run up them. I could feel the floor start to shake behind me knowing The rest of the boys had ran after us. I finally made it up the stairs, making my way into my room, the second I entered, I slammed the door shut and locked it. I screamed as soon as I heard someone knocking on the door, causing me to pull away from the door and back up onto my bed. 
"Zoey, let me in this instant!"
Liam said as he kept knocking on the door. I couldn't stop laughing until I finally stopped and enjoyed my fun. Who knew Liam was like this around the boys. I now know who is the father-like figure out of the boys. 
"I'm taking a shower!"
I told them, walking over to my dresser, picking out a new set of clothes.
"Ugh! Girls these days!"
Liam muttered, as if I couldn't hear him. I glared at the door.
"Hey! I'm not deaf you know?"
I replied back, only to hear chuckles on the other end of the door. 
"Wow, she has guts you know?"
"Geez Louis, who knew your little sister has more guts than you."
"I'm telling you, she's something else. She's the best," 
"HEY! I'M STILL MAD AT ALL OF YOU FOR TELLING HER TO RUN FROM ME!" 
I suddenly heard all of scream on the other side of the door. I only chuckled and made my way into my bathroom to take a shower. 

I stepped out of the shower with a towel wrapped around my body. Steam had filled the bathroom and fogged up the mirror above the sink. I zipped the fog off the mirror to see a very blurry mirror with droplets of water streaming down to the edge of the mirror at the bottom. I took a second to look at my face and take another towel off the rack beside the mirror and started to dry my hair with it. I then made my way out of the bathroom and walked back into my room, only to see Harry sitting on my bed. My eyes widened the second his did the same. We both ended up screaming at the same time realizing this was such horrible timing. After we both screamed, footsteps had filled the entire hallway making their way towards my room, seeing the rest of the boys slam the door open and rush in. Both me and harry stared at the boys, as the boys stared at me, with only a towel wrapped around my body. We all ended up screaming seeing the boys cover their eyes.
"Get out!"
I screamed, frantically trying to make sure my body was still covered with my towel, keeping it from falling. 
"We're sorry! Oh my god! Why did you scream!? We thought you were in trouble!" 
Louis shouted. 
"Because I walked out of the bathroom after my very relaxing shower, only to see Harry sitting on my bed!"
Louis glared at Harry sitting on my bed. 
"Harry?!?"
Harry shot both his hands in the air and apologized as I ran back into the bathroom.
After completely drying my hair, I put on a black pair sweatpants and a light blue shirt, tying my  hair into a messy bun. I picked up my glasses off the counter and wiped the lenses clean from the the steam that fogged them up while I was showering and I put them on. I took one last look in the mirror and walked out of the bathroom only to see Harry, still sitting on my bed. I sighed only to see him smile. I knew he felt embarrassed, but at the same time, I think he planned on scaring me like that. I couldn't help but smile back and roll my eyes. 
"How did you guys get into my room?"
"Everyone one has every key to every room in the house, it's a safety thing."
He told me, Then patted an empty spot on my bed for me to sit. I walked towards him and sat down next to him.
"So, your Louis' sister huh? He talks an awful lot about you,"
I nodded, again blushing after he mentioned that my brother talks about me a lot to them.
"How come I've never seen you before? I've heard great things, but I've never actually met you until now,"
The look on his face shifted. It was almost like he was trying to tell me that he had wished to have met me sooner.
"Cause ever since you guys formed into a band, I never really got a chance to meet any of you, until now."
I only smiled after answering his question. I wish I had met them sooner, got to know them more earlier. They really are so sweet in person. I stared at my lap again, feeling those nerves come back realizing I was sitting next to Harry Styles himself. Jeez why am I tensing up so much?
"Um...lets go see what the guys are doing"
I said, standing up from my bed. I watched him follow after and walk out of my room with him following behind him. We both walked side by side down the hallway and the stairs, making our way back into the living room. The rest of the boys were sitting comfortably on the couches, waving at me. I waved back until I felt someone put their hand on my waist. I nearly jumped causing me to turn around to see Harry had just put his hand on my waist.
"Woah woah Harry!"
Louis said, instantly getting off the couch to pull me away from Harry, the look on Harry's face suddenly went blank the second Louis pulled me away. It was almost as if he didn't realize what he just did just now, or he did, he just wished he hadn't of done it. What is going on?
"Louis, it's ok"
I reassured my brother, he looked at me, still with that worried look on his face until he took a deep breath and nodded. He stared at Harry once again and watched him take a seat next to Zayn. 
"Ok what should we do for the rest of the day?"
Niall said as me and Louis took a seat on one of the couches, we only shrugged at each other. Is this how they usually are when they have the day off? It really seems like I'm living in a normal home with a group of brothers who all live alone. Like a bunch of roommates living a normal life together. With them being all famous, you'd think they'd be spending most of their time hanging out with other celebrities and going out to expensive restaurants or bars to enjoy the celebrity lifestyle. But no. They're just, a bunch of boys living a normal life, their music career seems like a normal 9-5 job for them. It's not a bad thing, in fact, I really adore them for it. Being famous doesn't seem to phase them. 
"Can you guys show me around the place?"
I asked, all of the sudden, they all smiled at me. They all stood up and directed me towards the main hallway of the house. As we walked down the hallway, I heard Niall gasp and take my hand. My eyes widened from the sudden reaction, the fact that he grabbed my hand out of nowhere almost made me blush again. Seriously, what is with these boys and making me blush all the damn time? Niall had dragged me ahead and directed me into the kitchen. I crossed my eyebrows.
"Um, Niall, I know what this-" 
I said until he cut me off. 
"This is where you get any kind of food you want a.k.a Food Heaven!"
I blinked after he said that. The excitement in his eyes made me adore him even more, I could almost see a twinkly in his beautiful blue eyes as he stared at the cabinet filled with snacks. I couldn't help but smile.
"Niall, come on"
I said as he walked me out of the kitchen.
