A New Hope

Chapter 15

Cora's POV

Yay! I finally get to leave the hospital! The ride started off pretty quiet. "We're are we going?" I asked. "We rented a house for our stay here, we would be leaving tomorrow, but have to delay it a bit because of your head." Louis said before Harry could speak.

Harry shot Louis a glare that was returned with a shoulder shrug and a giggle. "It's not far." Liam added. "I'm hungry." Niall stated. The boys responded with a groan. "Um, ok I know I've been in the hospital the entire time you guys have known me, spending most of my time with Harry, and I realise that I don't really know you guys all that well. So, if you guys don't mind hanging out win me, I'd love to get to know you better." I said in a shy rush.

They all agreed that they would love to hang with me. Harry looked a little weird through this conversation though. We finally arrived at a pretty big house. Harry showed me around and brought me and my things to a room. "This room shares the attached bathroom with my room, so I'm not that far if you need me." Harry said. I nodded. "I'm going to take a shower." I said. "Ok, be careful." He said worriedly. "I will." I ducked into the bathroom with some clothes.

I was finally allowed to take off my head bandage! My hair was a mess under the bandage. I had a quick shower and quickly changed. I looked in the mirror and finally saw myself, but a happier me.

My hair fell perfectly into the long curled that I have always loved. I exited the bathroom to find Harry on my bed. "I wanted to make sure you were ok." He said. "You look beautiful." I looked down at the sweat pants And tank top I had on. "Thanks." I responded with a blush. I saw a bit of a blush creep up into Harry's face too. he stood up and kissed my cheek. "I'm going to take a shower now." I nodded and kissed him. "Be careful." I mocked.

He looked back at me trying to look serious but a smile broke free and displayed his perfect dimples. I left the room an walked down the hall. In one of the first rooms I saw Louis. I nocked gingerly on the open door. He looked at me. "Come on in." He said. I walked in. His room was fairly clean. "So, you want to get to know me better?" He asked and I nodded. "And I'm sure you wouldn't mind getting to know me, being that I am living with you guys." He smiled widely at me.

"I LIKE CARROTS!" He shouted. I giggled, at least it broke my awkwardness. "That was one of my worst mistakes ever." He said with a smile. "What do you mean?" "I said that in one of our first video diaries on the xfactor and have yet to live it down. it's horrible! But kinda funny how the fans take it." Another smile spread across his face. I looked around his room and saw a piano.

"Oh my Carrots!" I said jokingly which earned me an eyebrow lift and a giggle. Turning serious I asked. "Can you play?" He nodded and sat down at the bench, scooting over to make room for me. He started playing a song I recognised. "How to save a life." I whispered. Louis stopped and looked over at me. "You know that song?" He asked a little shocked. 'I love the Fray." I stated. "Me too." Louis agreed. "Can you teach me?" "For sure." Louis taught me to play it almost as beautifully as he played it.

He was a really patient teacher which was good. Harry finally found me. There was something in his eyes when he saw me with Louis. We all went downstairs to the living room. I sat down beside Liam and as Harry was about to sit next to me, Niall ran up to him. "Can we go get food?!" He begged. Harry glanced at me. I nodded encouragingly to him. Hoping he understood that I wanted him to spend time with his boys and not ditch them for me. He nodded. They headed for the door. As the opened the door, Louis jumped up and ran after them. " I'm coming!" Then with one last glance from Harry they were gone.

I looked over at Liam who was sitting beside me. "Hey, can you teach me to b box?" He looked at me quizzically. "Sure." After a lot of laughs and patience on Liam's part, I sorta got it down. Zayn entered the room. "I hear laughter, what's so funny?" "Liam's teaching me to b box." I said with another giggle. "Wait, you do a lot of the harmonies right?" I asked excitedly. Zayn pondered it. "We all do our part, but yeah, I'm pretty good at harmonising, why?"

"Can you teach me?" Zayn and Liam laughed. "We both can." Zayn said looking at Liam, who nodded. "Yay! I'm just going to get a drink, you guys want something?" "Water please." They said in unison and laughed. I went I the kitchen and got three waters.

As I came back I heard them talking and stopped. "She apparently likes to learn new things." Liam joked. Zayn agreed. "She's really pretty, eh?" Zayn asked. "Yeah, she definitely looks better without the bandage around her head." They laughed. "Do you think she knows?" Zayn asked. "Why do you mean?" Liam responded. "She is a beautiful girl, but she looks like one of those rare girls that don't see that they are extremely beautiful."

I finally entered the room, they went quiet and acted normal. "I didn't know you sang." Zayn said. "I haven't sang in a while, I'm pretty sure I suck, but I've always loved to sing, I used to sing with my dad, brother, and aunt. I haven't sung my father and brother left." I looked down. "But, since there are amazing singers living under the same roof, I figured that you wouldn't mind teaching me." I explained. They were quiet for a bit. I asked if we could do an ed Sheeran song. I giggled at their expression.

"My first choice would have been one of your song, but I figured because it is your song that you would be too good at it. Then I thought that you wouldn't know the song I actually want to sing, even though it is one of your girlfriends songs Zayn. So I just stuck with the other one of my favourite artists that I know Harry hangs out with." They blinked at my long explanation.

"Which song did you want to do by Little mix?" Zayn asked. "Turn your face." He disappeared and returned with sheets of music and his cell. He handed me and Liam a paper with lyrics on them and kept one to himself. Zayn played it on his phone as he and Liam concentrated on it. I sang along to it quietly. When Perrie started singing I said "I love Perrie's voice." Zayn smiled at the name of his girlfriend, a very proud boyfriend he was.

I looked at Liam's slightly sad face. "I love how Danielle dances, she my favourite dancer." That made Him smile broadly. "Can you dance?" Liam asked me. I shrugged my shoulders. "I've been dancing since I was three, so I'm not bad, but definitely not as good as Danielle." We turned our focus back on harmonising and singing and learned the entire song and it actually sounded really good. I learned to harmonise!

I sat down with Zayn and Liam. "You're a bloody good singer." Zayn said and Liam agreed. I blushed. "So are you guys. You sound amazing in person."

Harry, Louis, and Niall finally arrived. Niall went o the kitchen and Liam turned on Toy Story. The boys groaned but seemed happy enough. Harry settled beside me and kissed me lightly on the cheek. After a bit I said I was going to change into my PJs. And left for my room.
