My New Siblings

Chapter 3

Izzy's POV

I ran up to my room and flopped onto my bed, burying my face into my pillows. I couldn't stop the flow of tears. I hadn't told many people about my mom. It hurt to much to talk about it.

I didn't know how long I was up in my room, but I opened my eyes and it was dark outside. I didn't remember falling asleep. Someone knocked on my door.

"Who is it?" I asked.

"It's Harry."

"Come in." I sat up. Harry's curly haired head poked in.

"Close your eyes and follow me! We have a surprise for you!" He smiled. I stood and closed my eyes. I felt hands over my eyes. He push me forward gently. "Okay, here are the stairs. And step." Harry instructed. I grabbed the railing and felt my way down the stairs. He stopped me. "Keep your eyes closed!" He instructed, removing his hands.

"Open them in," Harry called. He sounded far away.

"One!" An Irish accent called, Niall.

"Two." A voice said. I couldn't distinguish who it was.

"Three!" Many voices called. I opened them. The lights were dim. Blue and green balloons were everywhere! On the tables, the couch and chairs, the floor and even taped to the walls!

A banner was hung over the doorway to the kitchen. It read 'Welcome to our family Izzy!' I couldn't help but smile.

"Thank you." I gave Harry a hug. I then went around giving the other boys a hug. "Who's idea was this?" I asked.

"Niall suggested we do something to cheer you up, but it was Liam's idea for the party." Zayn replied.

"Thank you guys. You are so sweet." I smiled.

"We want you to feel welcome." Louis said.

"Thank you." I couldn't stop smiling. I walked through the room. It looked amazing. Streamers were around the lamp stands. I felt an arm go around my shoulder, I turned to Louis smiling down at me.

"So I take that you like it?" He asked. I nodded.

"Maybe you're not so bad." I winked.

"Maybe?" He laughed.

"Yep!" He bit his bottom lip as his eyes dipped a little below mine and back. He leaned in a bit.

"Izzy! Come here!" Harry called from across the room, I looked towards my step brother, he was holding a small cake. I laughed and walked over to him.

"What's this?" I asked.

"Liam ran to the store and this was the only one they had." The small round cake had chocolate icing and blue flowers around the top. In red icing it read 'Welcome'.

"You guys are too much!" Harry cut me a slice, but didn't hand it to me. He just looked at me with a mischievous look in his eye and a sly smile on his lips.

"What are thinking?" As soon as I spoke, it dawned on me what he was about to do. "No!" I backed away from him, and right into something solid.

"Where do you think you're going?" An Irish accent asked. Niall grabbed my arms and held me in place. Harry came at me with the cake. I pressed myself into Niall, trying to get away from my evil looking step brother.

"Harry! Don't!" I laughed. He smashed the cake into my face. Niall immediately released me. I wiped the icing out of my eyes and glared at Harry, who was doubled over laughing. I walked over to the cake and didn't even bother with the knife. I just grabbed a handful and smashed it over Harry's curly hair.

"Ooh!" Niall laughed.

"Don't worry, Niall, you'll get some too." I replied grabbing another handful. Niall took off running. I was quick to follow. "Come here, Niall! Don't you like cake?" I followed him into a hallway that I hadn't been in yet. Suddenly, he stopped, at a dead end. "There's no escape, now." I closed in on him and smeared the cake all over his face.

"Now that's good cake!" He replied, licking his lips. I couldn't help but crack up.

Louis' POV

I was stupid to try and kiss Izzy. I had just met her! Not to mention that she's Harry's sister! Well, his step sister, but there would be no way that he would let me to date her.

I heard Izzy laughing, I glanced over. Niall was holding Izzy biceps and Harry was closing in on her with a piece of cake in his hand. He smashed it into her face. I watched as she picked up a handful of cake and smashed it over his head. Then proceeded to take another handful and chase Niall around the house.

A few minutes later I saw her come out of the hallway laughing. She had chocolate icing all over her face. She looked around. We locked eyes. She smiled at me and walked over.

"Why aren't you having fun?" She asked me.

"Just not in the mood I guess." I replied.

"Wow! Louis not in the mood to party?! Who are you and what have you done with our Boo Bear?" Harry joked as he passed us. I chuckled as he went on his way.

"Is something bothering you?" She asked, leaning against the wall.

"No."

"Okay." Zayn ran over and whispered something to Izzy and led her away by the elbow. I turned and headed up the stairs to Harry's room. I kicked off my shoes and laid down in his bed. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

I had a dreamless sleep. I awoke to someone shaking my shoulder. I opened my eyes to green ones staring back at me.

"Harry?" I grumbled. I heard giggling. Definitely not Harry.

"No! It's Izzy. Why are you in my bed?" I looked around the room. This was not Harry's room.

"I thought Harry's room was the first door on the left." I replied, closing my eyes.

"It is! My room is the first on the right."

"Sorry. I'll leave."

"It's one in the morning, you might as well stay. Niall is passed out on the couch, Zayn is asleep on the floor, and Liam and Harry are in Harry's room. Gemma came home about thirty minutes ago."

"What about you?" I asked.

"I'll sleep on the floor."

"No. You are sleeping in your bed. I'll sleep on the floor." I commanded.

"Or we could share the bed." She asked cautiously, like she was afraid to say the wrong thing.

"Or we could do that." I grinned at her. She crawled in beside me as I scooted over. She turned off the bedside lamp and rolled onto her right side, her back to me.

"Good night, Louis." She whispered.

"Good night, Izzy." I was also laying on my right side, watching her shoulders rise and fall with each breath. She turned over and I closed my eyes. I opened them slightly, to see her. Her now blue eyes were staring at me. "That's not sleeping." I smirked, opening my eyes.

"Hey, you are the one watching me." She smiled. I felt my heart skip a beat.

"I saw you naked and I'm sleeping with you, all in one day! I'm on a roll!" She rolled her eyes and turned over.

"Good night." Her tired voice said.

"Good night." I whispered. I watched as her breathing came at a steady rhythm and when I was sure that she was asleep, I scooted closer to her and put my arm across her. She subconsciously snuggled into my chest. "Good night." I whispered, a smirk tugging at my lips.
