Forever & Always (Completed)

67- Four Directions

“Alright, who wants what?” Niall asked me, so I grabbed a pen and paper and asked for everyone’s order. When I finished, I walked back up the stairs to Niall, and read off the list.

“Harry wants two burgers and a hot dog, Amelia wants one burger and one hot dog, Louis wants three cheeseburgers, Layla wants a cheeseburger, Liam wants two hotdogs.” I paused to catch my breath, then continued. “Greyson wants a burger and a hot dog, Riley wants a burger, Isabel wants a burger, Jade wants a cheeseburger, I want a cheeseburger and a hot dog, and then whatever you want babe.” I finally finished the list, man I have hungry friends. 

“Whoa, so that’s six burgers, six hot dogs, and eight cheeseburgers. Whoa.” Niall confirmed the order and I nodded. “Lots of hungry people, aye?” I laughed at his comment, then walked back downstairs to talk to my friends.

I saw Layla, Riley, and Isabel talking to Liam and Louis. I overheard their conversation, which was the girls asking Liam what was to happen to ‘One Direction.’ Then it got me thinking, is there a One Direction anymore? Are the guys breaking up? What’s going to happen--I was interrupted by Louis.

“Hey Skye, why don’t you come in the pool with us all?” Louis asked me, which made me look up at the pool, Amelia, Harry, Jade, and Greyson splashing around in the cold water. “You okay?” He noticed I wasn’t responding.

“Yeah, I was just thinking.” I paused, “I’ll go in in a moment.” I told him, and he gave me the thumbs up and jumped back in. After talking to Louis, I walked back up my Niall and asked him how the barbeque was doing.

“It’ll be done in a few minutes, could you gather everyone up?” Niall told me, then flipped a few burgers. I walked back downstairs and started putting plates around the table, Greyson was out of the pool now and began to help me.

“I’ve got it, why don’t you go call everyone in?” He told me, then took the plates and began putting them around the table. I walked over to the pool and told everyone to get out for dinner, then over to the fire pit and told them to come eat. 

“These burgers are awesome Nialler.” Harry spoke through biting into his burger. Everyone else added in their compliment about the food, and Niall thanked them all. After about a half hour or so, everyone was finished eating and it was around 5PM.

“I’ve got to get going Skye, thanks for the invite, it was so much fun!” Riley told me, then Isabel added in that she had to go as well.

“Thanks for coming guys! See you soon!” I told them, as I hugged them goodbye and led them out the back gate.

“I should get going too, I’ve got work later. Bye Skye, thanks.” Greyson stood up and gave me a big hug. I said my goodbyes to all my friends, then Jade said she had to go as well. At the moment, it was just the band and their girlfriends at my house. 

“Alright, what do you guys want to do now?” I asked my friends after cleaning up. At this time, it was around 6:30PM.

“Night swim?” Amelia asked us all. “Well, evening swim?” She corrected herself on the time.

“Sounds good to me, babe!” Harry added. We all agreed on swimming again, then headed down the stairs to the pool. Louis was the first to jump in, then he pulled Layla in the water. Next was Liam, who did a cannonball off the diving board. Amelia jumped in right after him, then it was Niall. Harry hesitated, so I pushed him in, then jumped in myself. The cold water against my hot skin felt so right. 

“Cannonball!” I heard Louis scream as he jumped into the water again. He acted as if he was five, but that was okay. After about twenty minutes of jumping in and out of the pool and splashing everyone, everywhere, we all settled down. Amelia and Harry shared a float, as did Louis and Layla. Niall, Liam, and I tried to make a whirlpool while we all began talking.

“Guys, can I ask you something?” Layla asked. Everyone nodded, so she continued. “What’s going to happen to the band?” This question didn’t quite catch anyone off guard, but no one was really sure of the answer.

“Well, if we’re not going to stay a band, then I think I’m going to move in with Danielle back in London.” Liam answered, which brought tears to Niall’s eyes, but he didn’t sob.

“Well I don’t want to leave you, so I was thinking the lads and I got a flat here.” Louis answered, which was a happier answer for us.

“I was actually thinking of that too.” Harry added in. 

“I’d like that a lot.” Layla and Amelia agreed.

“What about you Nialler? What do you want to do?” Liam asked him.

“Well I’d love to go back to Mullingar for a bit, just to see everyone. Then I’d come back and share a flat with you lads.” Niall’s answer was perfect. 

“Think about it guys, all summer, the guys will be a short ride away. We can visit them anytime we want, and hang out.” I told the group and they all agreed that it was awesome.

“Hey babe, I think we’ve got to go now. Simon just texted me that we’ve got an article interview tomorrow on Zayn and what’s happening.” Harry said, then got out of the pool with the band to follow.

“Alright, we’ll be watching!” Amelia answered him, then turned to me, “Could Layla and I sleep over?” I immediately nodded my head.

“Skye! Can we sleep on the trampoline tonight?!” Layla eagerly asked me, then I nodded again. We all were dried and out of the pool when we said goodbye to the band.

“Come over when you guys get back! You can just walk through the back gate.” I told everyone, then gave Niall a kiss goodbye. After a few moments after they left, the girls and I went inside to shower and change into our pajamas. 

“It’s about 10, want to set up the trampoline now?” I asked my friends, who were now showered and changed. They nodded and grabbed pillows and blankets, as did I, and we walked out into the backyard to get it all ready. 

“Looks comfy!” Amelia said, after we finished setting it up. It took about five blankets to get us all comfortable on the trampoline and six pillows. 

“I’m actually really tired, want to call it a night?” Layla asked me, and we all agreed it was time for bed. When I woke up the next morning, I saw Layla and Amelia reading the news article on the band. 

“What’d they say about it all?” I asked.

“Read it for yourself.” Layla told me, then handed me the laptop.

“One Direction, or Four?

             Five solo artists with a dream, formed into one band in 2010. Band members, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, and Harry Styles mourn over the suicide of Zayn Malik. It was a sad day June 10th, when Zayn killed himself in the hospital bathroom after watching his four month girlfriend, Blakely, executed. Today, the band members came in to clear everything up with what happened with Zayn and what One Direction would become.

           Liam Payne, 19, states “I plan on moving in with my girlfriend, Danielle, back in London.” Band mate, Harry Styles, 19, says, “Louis, Niall, and I plan on buying a flat near our girlfriends’ homes to stay close.” Well, there you have it, Directioners. One Direction, has turned into four directions.”
