Counting Stars (Niall Horan fan fiction)

Chapter 1

With my headphones on my head, the volume turned up, listening to Spank (feat. TAI & Bart B More) (Felix Cartal Remix) by The Bloody Beetroots ,I was skating as the sun was slowly going down letting a light breeze blowing in the wind and tickle my bare skin. It was an amazing feeling which made me forget anything else.

The streets were empty. Everyone was inside their houses or in their backyard probably enjoying the last few shafts of sunlight.

I love skateboarding at this time especially with music blasting in my ears.  Nothing could stop me from doing it.

The song changed and that's when I heard a car coming up behind me. I skated to the side and the black SUV drove  past me disappearing in the distance.

Minutes later I arrived at home wondering why the SUV I had just seen was parking in our driveway. Before I stopped skating, the front door opened and a man came outside with his back to me. I entered our driveway and approached the man slowly still on my skateboard. Just as the man was about to open the luggage compartment I got a view of his face and recognized him.

"Paul!" I shouted at him. Before he could look at me I jumped off the skateboard right in to his arms.

"Whoa, kiddo!" He laughed and wrapped his arms around me tightly.

"What are you doing here?" I asked curiously and looked at his face waiting for an answer.

However, the sound of the front door opening distracted us from talking. Still in Paul's arms I watched over his shoulder to see five lads looking at me and behind them my mother who was grinning.

"Hello?" I greeted them questionably.  This seemed to jolt everyone out of their thoughts and Paul put me down turning to the boys with his arms around my shoulder.

"Boys." He looked at me briefly. "This is my niece, Samantha."

"It's Sam, Paul." I corrected him.

"Okay, okay, Sam this is Zayn, Louis, Liam, Harry and Niall."

"Hi." "Hello, gorgeous." "Hey." "Nice to meet you."

They all sounded British except the blonde one who kept grinning, sounded Irish.

"Hi." I waved weakly.

"Come on, let's get back inside." My mother said and we followed her trough the living room and ended up outside on the patio where we all sat down.

"So what are you doing here exactly?" I asked.

"The lads are taking a break and Paul phoned me last week to ask if they could spend it here because they want to spend it together and well, here they are."  My mom explained.

I nodded and wondered out loud. "Why are you taking a break again?"

"You don't know us?!" asked the curly haired guy.

"Should I?" I asked unsure.

"We are One Direction. You might know our first song. It's called "What makes you beautiful"." I think it's Liam who said it.

"Oh yes I remember hearing it at the beach once I think. " I replied awkwardly.

"Well, you will get to know them better, now that they are staying here." My mother said grinning. "I was just getting dinner ready so take a seat and Sam could you please give me a hand?"

"Yes, sure mom."

The lads and Paul sat down at the table while mom and I put the dishes on the table.

We talked and I learned a lot of the guys. There's Liam who has the shortest hair. He's 19 years-old and has a girlfriend at home who is called Danielle. Louis is the oldest with 21 years-old. He also has a girlfriend who is called Eleanor. Zayn is 20 years old and his girlfriend is called Perrie she also is in a band. The one with the curly hair is Harry and he is the youngest one with 19 years-old. And the blonde one is Niall who is also 19 years old and is Irish. And let me tell you he has the bluest eyes I had ever seen.
