Liam Payne's Step Sister

17: Hungover and Home

Niall's P.O.V

Ouch... What happened? "Ellie..." I groan. "You ok?" She wakes up. "No." I try to go back to sleep but my head is pounding against my skull. "Mum!" I yell. "Shhh she's at work." Ellie gets up to get me some pills and water... Hopefully.

"Here." Ellie hands me a glass of water and some Advil. "I am never drinking again..." I groan. "That's what you always say." She laughs. "But I mean it this time." I pout. "Yeah. Sure you do Niall." Ellie laughs and walks downstairs.

*One Week Later*

Zayn's P.O.V

I'm sure you're wondering "What's going on between Zayn and Ellie?" And honestly, so am I.

"Liam!" Louis screams in Liam's ear. "Yeah!?" He screams back. "Ellie and Niall are coming home today." Louis smirks. "Really!?" I grin. "Uh... Yeah. Why are you so excited, mate?" Harry stares at me. "I'm just uh... Happy to see them." I stutter, trying to hide my panic. "Right..." Louis tries to move on. "Anyways, we should have a party for them. I mean it's been a full week since we've seen them." Loui reasons. "Sure." Liam says cooly but his eyes give away how excited he actually is.

Ellie's P.O.V

"Niall!" I shake him awake. "What is it?" He grumbles. "We're going back to London today!" I grin. I even woke up early to pack our bags, but it's not just because I miss the boys back home. We also have an early flight.

"Come on! We've got to leave!" I jump on the bed. "Alright! Alright!" He grabs my waist and pulls me so that I fall on the bed. "Can we cuddle?" Niall pouts. "No." I smirk. "I wanna go see One Direction!" I act like the fan I pretended to be the day I met the boys. "Alright." He stands up. "Let's go."

*After the Flight*

"Liam should be here any minute." I look at my phone, reading the text messages from Liam. Oh wait. Louis is Liam in my contacts... Louis is picking us up.

"Over there." Niall points to the doorway.

"Ellie!" Louis screams, running up to hug me. "Oh... And you're here too." He jokes to Niall.

*At Home*

"Ellie!" Liam, Harry and Zayn yell, running to hug me. "Louis and I need to talk to you. Privately." Zayn puts his hand on my shoulder and guides me upstairs.

"So we have an interview soon." Louis starts. "So...?" I try and move them along. "We're gonna prank the boys." Zayn whispers in my ear.

"I'm in." I smirk after they tell me the whole plan.

I walk downstairs only to be crushed in another hug. I look up at Liam.

"I missed you." He smiles. "I missed you too."

I see Kenzie's cat walk out the doorway. I gasp. "Liam!" I scold. "I'm sorry! I swear it said shampoo on the container!" Liam panics. "Louis! Harry! Zayn! Get up here now!" I yell. Four panicked sets of footsteps run down the stairs to the living room.

"So... I was just wondering... Why is Patch 20 different colors of the freaking rainbow?!" I scream. "Well... Liam went to get shampoo because we had to give him a bath..." Zayn explains. "Why did he need a bath?" I press. Louis mumbles something and says "He rolled in rat poop..." "Why is there rat poop in the house, Harry?" I say, knowing it has something to do with the awkwardly silent Harry. "Erm... It's Loui's fault!" He runs. Liam attempts to chase after Harry but I motion for him to sit back down.

"You better get rid of this rainbow that barfed on her cat. Kenzie is coming to pick Patch up tomorrow." I walk away with Niall quickly following behind me.

"What's up?" I turn around. "Just hanging out with an awesome girl." He smiles. "You spent a whole week with me. Go be with your girlfriend or something." I joke. "What girlfriend?" He laughs. "Oh whatever." I push him away.

"I'm going to bed!" I yell, noticing it's 10 pm already. "Take me with you!" Louis runs up to me and grabs onto my leg. Liam quickly runs into the room and does the same. "Zayn! Can you come here a minute?" I try and ignore the two boys currently latched onto my legs.

Zayn walks into the living room with a bowl of ice cream in his hands. He puts it down on the nearest table and walks over to me. "Need some help, luv?" He chuckles. "Yes please." I plead. Zayn picks me up bridal style and carries me to my bedroom.

I wake up and check the time. 5 am. I slowly stand up and almost scream. "Louis?" I shake him awake. "Why are you in my bed?" I try not to laugh. "You wouldn't take me with you so I came in here after you fell asleep." Loui mumbles into my pillow.

I try closing my eyes and end up not being able to fall back asleep. I decide its early enough to wake up and throw off my covers.

I step onto my rug and feel... Skin? I yelp and jump back on my bed. "Liam!" I screech.

Did I fall asleep again? I peek at my clock and see 9:17 in digital numbers. I jump out of bed, ignoring the two sleeping boys in my room.

"Harry! I wanna take you shopping!" I speak my mind. His head peeks around the corner. "Sure, luv." Harry walks out into the mud room and slips on some shoes.
