time to begin [n.h]

twelve; true love

It’s been a week since the beach day and I haven’t spoken to the boys of One Direction besides texting Liam. I wasn’t even texting Niall.I shouldn’t be surprised; they are in a world-famous boyband. They have jobs to do too; it’s not all fun and games.I have been texting Liam though so whenever I get a new text from him I smile like an idiot. He’s absolutely perfect and I don’t want to ever end a conversation with him because I feel like if we ever end a conversation he’ll never text me again. That and I’m afraid to say something stupid.

On the bright side, Liam and I planned a little something. No, it’s not a date. Liam doesn’t like me like that. But he suggested that we all get together and sing a song to put on YouTube. We still don’t know whose channel yet, that has yet to be decided.

And well, we’re doing that today. I’m just the slightest bit nervous. We’re singing True Love by P!nk which is my favourite song right now. Now I just need to figure out what to wear…

2 hours and plenty of outfits later, I find what I’m looking for. A striped shirt, black skinny jeans, a few necklaces, a beanie and my glasses. I must say that I look a bit punk rock right now. I do more makeup than usual, wanting to look nicer since I am doing a collaboration with One Direction. I grab my purse and stick a piece of gum in my mouth, walking out the door.

I flag down a cab and tell the cabbie the address of Liam’s house. During the ride there, I look out the window and watch as all the buildings pass by. When we get there, I pay the cabbie and get out, remembering to grab my purse. Yes, I brought a purse. I needed to bring my phone, hand sanitizer and gum. I can’t carry all that in my pocket.

Just walking up to the door, I can hear the boys screaming and yelling. This is usual for them I guess. I knock on the door and step back, making sure I’m prepared for what I have yet to see.

“She’s here,” Harry screamed. “Shut up!”

After that there was almost complete silence and all I could hear is footsteps walking to the door. The door opens to reveal Niall, smiling widely as usual.

He’s always the one who’s always smiling and makes us laugh. Louis makes us laugh all the time but Niall is definitely the funniest one. Other than Liam, I’m closest to Niall. He texted me a few times over the week as well, making jokes and talking about stupid things most of the time but I loved it.

“Hey, Abigail! Come on in.”

“I would if you weren’t standing in the doorway.” I muse. Niall blushes and steps to the side. I laugh at him as I walk in.

What I see when I walk in isn’t nearly what I suspected. Harry was sitting on the couch reading a book that was upside down, Louis was reading it with him and Zayn was drawing something on a notepad. That was the only normal part. I did notice that Liam was missing which was odd but I let it slide; knowing that if I said something about it they’d suspect I was in love with him or something.

Out of nowhere, Liam bounds down the stairs. “Ready to film it?” He asks.

“I think we should do a practice run first, just to make sure we have it all down.”

With that, we all sat down in a circle with our legs crossed. Harry and Liam set up a few cameras on tripods. They also set up a laptop with the instrumental to True Love, having Zayn to click the ‘play’ button when we start.
