The Unfathomable Girl // A Sidemen Fanfiction

Chapter 5

A shattering sound startles me awake. I hear JJ yell, he probably dropped a glass or something. I check my phone, 11:37 am. Oh god, why am I still tired? Oh right, because Simon and I talked until 4:30 am. Another thing that catches my attention is in my lock screen, I have hundreds of notifications. New followers and likes on Instagram, more followers on Twitter and a bunch of mentions. I unlocked my phone into the Twitter app. Almost 2 thousand followers when I swear last time I checked I had like 400. When I check my mentions I understand what had happened, Simon must've left my social media in the description of the video of us. All of my mentions are 'Are you dating miniminter?' and 'r u with simon!'. Oh my god.

After I'm ready for the day I go downstairs.
"Hi Olivia." JJ says to me once I get down the first staircase.
"Oh hey JJ. How are you feeling?" I ask him, knowing he went out last night and might be very hungover.
"I have a headache but I'm okay. Did you sleep well?" He replies. I'm sure he doesn't really care how I slept but he's just being polite.
"Pretty well until something that sounded like a vase falling on the floor and breaking woke me up." I tell him.
"Yeah sorry about that. Vik scared me and dropped my glass of chocolate milk on the floor." He says, scratching the back of his neck awkwardly. I just laugh and continue downstairs.

When I get downstairs the whole house seems quiet. This is strange. I make my tea and toast a bagel for my breakfast, sitting at the island in the table.
"Olivia!" JJ says, walking into the kitchen.
"Yeah?" I ask, my mouth half-full of bagel.
"All of the Sidemen are at Harry's flat for the football match. Plus Cal (calfreezy), Callum (Callux), Joe Weller, and Manny-Tobi's brother. I was just going to head up there and Cal texted me and asked me to try to get you to go. The guys that know you already love you and this is a chance to get to know them more." JJ tells me. I sigh.
"I don't know JJ." I say, unsure of meeting so many people.
"Simon will be there." He smirks. I basically choke on my bagel when he says that. I slowly swallow my chewed up food before responding.
"Uh, w-what?" I stutter.
"We all saw how defensive he got over you last night. And Ethan saw him leaving your room this morning. Its a bit obvious." JJ laughs, getting a Gatorade from the fridge.

"We aren't a thing! We were talking about stuff really late and I guess we both fell asleep." I tell him.
"Okay fine. I believe you." He finally gives in after me telling him about 7 times. We are currently driving down the freeway towards Harry's flat. I've been texting Ethan and he said that Josh has already warned the guys none of them are getting with me. He's really protective for a cousin. All of the sudden my phone rings.
"Hello?" I ask.
"Hi Liv, its Cal. I met you last night, remember?" The familiar voice questions.
"Yes I remember. You ate the cake Simon and I made." I laugh softly, thinking back at the hazy memories of last night.
"Anyways could you get JJ to buy 2 bottles of Cîroc, and 3 cases of beer? We have 3 football matches to watch and we want to play a drinking game!" Cal asks.'I hear cheering in the background.
"JJ did you hear all of that?" I ask JJ, moving the phone away from my ear.
"Yeah, tell him I already got it." JJ responds.
"He already got it, Cal." I say, putting the phone to my ear again.
"Great, see you later liv-dawg." He nicknames me.
"See ya calfrozen." I say. I hear him growl and quickly hang up. JJ and I laugh and turn up the music.

We walk into the elevator. I press the buttons since JJ isn't really capable because of the 3 huge cases of beer in his arms. I'm carrying the two bottles of Cîroc vodka in a little brown bag from the liquor store.
"When we get in there just stand behind me until I clear a path for you. If Weller is drunk he might try to be 'Mr. Steal Your Girl'. Not that you're my girl but you know what I mean." JJ laughs. I can't stand still. My hate for being around people I don't know is mainly fuelled by my anxiety, and today I have a full tank. "Are you nervous?"
"Just a bit." I tell JJ truthfully. I rock back and forth from my tippy toes to my heels.
"The guys are all really fun. Don't worry about it. You have Josh, Simon and I to hide behind if you need to." JJ assures me.
"You're right." I say more to myself than to him. I let out a huge breathe and then the elevator doors open.

We knock on the door. I stand slightly behind JJ. The door opens and I see a familiar face.
"Hey Jide-bog! Liveroonie!" Cal exclaims. He hugs me gently on my way in. "Guys, Jide and Olivia are here! Come show them some love!"
I sigh and am almost instantly in the middle of a crowd of people-all bigger than me. I look for JJ's hand in the crowd, once I find it I grab onto it and he pulls me away into the kitchen.
"You can put the Vodka there on the counter." JJ tells me, already shoving cans of beer into the fridge. I do as he says.
"I'm going to go out and talk to the guys." I tell him. I didn't really want to, to be honest I'd rather stay in the kitchen, just me and JJ, and if Simon could come in here too. He nods and I quickly force myself out of the sleek kitchen.
"There she is!" Ethan exclaims. He's now the only one left in the entrance. I give him a small smile and follow him into the living room.

This room is amazing. Its big and bright with huge windows across the whole back wall, giving us an amazing view of London.
"Pretty cool, huh?" A tall boy with dark brown-black hair comments. "I'm Callum, er-the guys might've called me Callux."
"I'm-" I start but he cuts me off.
"You're Olivia. I know. Ethan, Tobi and Vik never shut up about you today." Callum says loud enough for them to all turn around.
"Olivia! Come sit by me. Actually go get yourself a beer, then come sit by me!" Ethan yells, patting the spot in the middle of the couch, Cal on the other end.
"I'm only 16." I remind him.
"Age is just a number young spatula." A boy with brown hair exclaims from across the room. I laugh and raise an eyebrow at him. "I'm Weller, Joe Weller."
"Hi" I say, still laughing.
"Guys shutup! Look he's not offside" Simon says pointing at the TV. There's a person on the TV running down the soccer field, theres 3 people in different colors chasing him but they're likely not going to catch up. Everyone gets quiet and all the eyes in the room are focused on the TV.
"Hey, I heard Ethan tell you to get a beer, so I brought you one." JJ says, walking up beside me. "Have you ever had an alcoholic drink before?"
"Yeah. At parties and shit in Seattle." I tell him taking the beer from his hand. All the guys boo and we quickly turn our heads to see what just happened. A man is running onto the field holding up a yellow piece of paper.
"Olivia, come sit." Ethan whines, stretching my name. I walk away from
JJ and sit between Ethan and Cal.
"Pen!" Simon yells, grabbing everyone's attention once again. All the guys sit on the edge of their seat while the guy on TV kicks the ball at the net. The goalkeeper saves it and all the guys fly back in their seats. Some of them yell in frustration, others mumble something to themselves. I lean back into the couch and sip on my beer.

Being someone who doesn't know anything about soccer, this is a mind fuckery.
