Just a replacement (one direction)

Chapter 7.

Three weeks have passed by since the day Niall called me. 21 days where I've been pretending to be someone I'm not. 504 hours where I've had fun with my new bandmates. 30240 seconds away from home and my sister.... since the call I made with her the only contact we had were two textes, I miss her. The only thing I regret from this whole thing is not seeing my sister, not knowing if she's okay. In the textes she sended me she seemed to be fine, but how can I trust that if I can't look in her eyes if she's hurt, or on her wrists to see if she started cutting again. The only thing I can do is pray, pray that no one will hurt Charlotte. I wish I could go home to check if she's doing fine, but I can't. No one is allowed to know that Jake, the regular skaterboy from London, is pretending to be Niall Horan, the Irish member of the famous boyband One Direction. Plus we're on America for an upcoming awardshow and some interviews, it isn't really easy to just go to London for an afternoon to see my little sis.

I feel my phone buzzing in my pocket, I grab my phone and read who's calling me:

Niall Horan calls

I slowly move my finger to the green answer button while my thoughts are going crazy.

Why does Niall call me?

"Uhm Hello" I answer, not sure if someone might be trying to fool me.

"Are you with the boys?" The voice definitelly belongs to Niall, I've watched so many interviews that I can dream all of the boys' voices, I can even imitate them.

"No, I'm not. Why do you want to know? What's wrong? Or are you good again?" Now that I'm sure it's really Niall there are so many things I want to ask him.

"Jake you have to do me a favor, but the lads aren't allowed to know. Will you help me?" Niall seems stressed, I wonder what he wants me to do.

"Uhm sure I guess, what do I have to do? And please tell me when you're coming back?" I need Niall to come back, so I can go back to my normal life again. I've really started to feel home with these guys but I miss my old life.

"Can you please send me some clothes from all of them, some clothes that aren't washed yet, so I can smell them, did you know that all of them smells different?" I started to understand, Niall was missing his mates, his best friends. I could understand this. If you first spend 6 days a week with certain people and you then have to life without them for 3 weeks, of course you get homesick. "Sorry, I'll go back to my point" Niall continous to talk "In my room is a picture frame with two pics of Liam and me, one pic of me and my family another one with me Liam and Zayn and a picture with all 5 of us. Can you also send that pictures frame?"

I hear Nialls voice breaking, from the memories probably. "Sure mate, where do I have to send it?"

"I'll text you the adress" Niall keeps silence for a while before he says "Please keep an eye on Liam, tell him I didn't forget about him, but that I just couldn't tell anyone." I can hear that Niall is holding back tears so I decide that I won't ask Niall when he'll come back, he clearly isn't ready yet.

"I will tell him, and Niall.... Stay Strong." After those I hang up, having a hard time keeping myself together.

"What are you doing with my shirt?" Harry screams at me

"Your shirt? I thought this one was mine." I try not to laugh but when I see Harry's angry face I can't hold it anymore.

"Haz, it's just a shirt, you're a milionaire remember, you can boy thousands of this shirt." thank god, Zayn is here to save me. "And you NJ should run before Harry is going to kill you for stealing his clothes."
