Infinite Love

Chapter 7

*Caitlin’s POV*

I woke up in Liam’s room no longer in Olivia’s arms but still holding her hand. I rolled over and looked at her. We were so similar. Her eyelids fluttered open and she looked at me with her blue eyes. She smiled at me and said good morning. I said the same back. We both got up and walked out of Liam’s room and into the hallway. It was still silent so nobody else was awake. I didn’t really want to go out and face the boys in case they asked me that question again. I still wasn’t ready to tell them. Olivia must have read my mind because she squeezed my hand

“You don’t have to tell them a thing until you are ready. I know these boys, they will understand” she said emphasizing the second you. I nodded at her and we continued walking into the lounge room. We stopped and stared at each other with pouty faces. The boys were all spread out on the floor under blankets, Zayn and Niall next to each to each other, Liam laying sensibly across from them and Louis laying sideways with his head on Zayn’s legs and his feet on Liam’s legs. It was so cute. Olivia got out her phone and took a picture. We both realised Harry was missing. We then heard a noise from the kitchen. We walked out there to find Harry cooking breakfast.

“Morning Haz. What are you cooking?” Olivia asked with a smile still holding my hand. We still didn’t want to let go.

“Morning girls. I’m cooking pa-“

“HAZZA DON’T YOU DARE FINISH THAT SENTENCE WITH THEM STANDING THERE!!!!” We heard Louis shout from the lounge room.

“Why can’t I tell them that I am making pancakes?”

“PANCAKES!!!!” Olivia and I shouted in sync so loudly Harry had to cover his ears.

Louis then walked in covering his ears too. “That’s why Haz....”

Olivia and I gave each other a pedo smile. Ever since we were toddlers, pancakes were our favourite food, no matter what we were doing or how we were feeling; we would never turn down pancakes.

“How many do I have to make for you lovely ladies then?”

“6 each” Olivia replied.

The rest of the boys walked in minutes later complaining about our screaming but Harry’s pancakes made up for it.

After breakfast we were all sitting down in the lounge room, I had my wrist on a pillow because it still hurt.

“So Caitlin, where do you live? I mean we have to take you home or were you running away because when I bumped into you, you had a backpack on?” Harry asked me.

I hesitated to answer for two reasons: 1 I was trying to think of what to say and 2 I was mesmerised by Harry’s emerald eyes.

“Um well.....I am not telling you guys the full story but I did run away and I am not going back. I only have to stay hidden for two weeks then I turn 18. That is all I am telling you for now.” I explained, finally finding a way to put it.

“Ok” Liam said.

Louis and Olivia gave each other a look then got up and walked out of the room. It looked like they were going to have a talk. They came back a minute later while I was chatting to Niall about food.

“Caitlin..since you don’t have a place to go to....we want you to come and live with us and we are not taking no for an answer” Louis asked me.

I looked at Olivia. She had a big smile on her face, I mean BIG, like Chesire Cat big smile. I just nodded.

“I will but only if as long as I am not a burden or intrusion” I said.

“You will never be any of them” Olivia said.

I got up and gave them both a big hug.

“So what’s the plan today?” I asked hoping it was something that wouldn’t get me noticed or something too boring they would ask questions again.

“Well all of the boys except Louis and I have an interview” Harry told me.

“Ok well what about you guys then?” I asked again while staring at his curls.

“Well Louis and I have to do some errands and Olivia is ta-“ Harry said.

“TAKING YOU SHOPPING!! FOR CLOTHES, FURNITURE AND BASICALLY EVERYTHING!!” Olivia screamed cutting off Harry.

“Olivia, Josh might meet you there after” Louis explained.

I looked at Olivia with concern. Who is this Josh person?

“Haha, Josh Devine is the drummer for One Direction but he is also my boyfriend” Olivia said reading my mind (once again).

“Ok” I said. I would ask for the details after when we weren’t surrounded by a room full of boys.

“Hang on a minute...” Niall started in his adorable accent. I sat down on the couch careful not to show any pain that would worry the boys and Olivia while everyone stared at Niall for him to continue.

“Caitlin, why didn’t you scream or anything when you met us?” Niall questioned me.

“Ummm.....why would I?” I answered him. They all stared at me with open mouths. I am very confused should I know them?

“Um we are One Direction, biggest boyband in the world?? Haven’t you ever heard of us?” Liam asked.

“No I haven’t listened to any new music in over three years, my dad wouldn’t let me. Louis you didn’t tell me you were in a boyband well done big bro!” I said running and giving me a hug, I gave the boys a sorry smile and a hug too.

“Well, we have to make you listen to us one day” Zayn said.

Everyone nodded.

“Ok boys we all have to leave now. See you girls tonight” Liam said with a smile.  We said our goodbyes and then Olivia and I went to get ready for our shopping trip.
