Home (1D/Olly Murs)

Chapter 2

Murder. That was the very first thought that came to mind when I was rudely awakened the next morning. Olly thought it would be funny to sneak in my room and blast One Direction through the speakers on my nightstand. I was not a happy camper so I dragged myself out of bed and stormed down the hallway towards the kitchen where I could hear the clanging of pots and pans. When I reached the kitchen I realized that Olly was not alone. He had his back to me so all I saw was a head full of brown and blonde hair seated at our table. Olly finally noticed I was there and called me out.

"Morning sunshine. See, I told you she'd wake up." he said to the stranger who turned around and just stared at me but I was okay with it because I was staring back. He had bright blue eyes and a dazzling smile. He was oddly familiar though. And while I was trying to place him I realized that I was still in my pajamas which consisted of Soffee shorts and a very thin tank top making this a very awkward first meeting so I quickly turned around and made my way into my room where I showered, did my makeup, and got dressed quickly then made my way back into the main part of the flat where Olly and the mysterious blonde were. The second I saw Olly seated on the couch I locked onto him and punched him in the arm.

"OW! What the hell was that for!? " he shouted, holding his shoulder in pain.

"For waking me up the way you did this morning you jerk! And with One Direction music? Seriously Olly?! " I scolded him and I caught the stranger looking at me in slight fear. As I made eye contact with him I suddenly realized where I knew him from.

"Hey! You're that guy that played the guitar on the toilet in one of my brother's videos! " I said excited that I had finally made the connection.

"Yeah, I'm Niall by the way." he introduced himself, speaking with an Irish accent.

"Hi. I'm Abby, Olly's sister. "

"Well it is very nice to meet you miss Abby." Niall said, smiling at me.

"So Abby, what was wrong with the music I played earlier?" Olly asked me prodding into our conversation from a few minutes ago.

"That you could've played anything, even Call Me Maybe, but you chose One Direction. "

"What's so wrong with them? " Olly asked with a sneaky smile that I didn't catch.

"Personally I find them overrated. I mean they're just a cutesy boy band. THIS is a real band." I said pointing to my Beatles shirt I had on "One Direction even gets compared to The Beatles in the news and there is no comparison. One Direction's music just doesn't mean anything. Where as with the greats like The Beatles their music inspired people. Their music is still fantastic today even if you've never actually heard any of their songs you can still name off Hey Jude and Let it Be at the very least. Now in sixty years will anyone remember What Makes You beautiful? I think not." I finished my rant looked to see Olly about to burst into laughter and Niall looked almost hurt by what I had said.

"I think I should probably go. See ya later Olly. Nice meeting you Abby." and with that Niall was gone out the door.

"Wow Abs that was harsh."

"It's my opinion. I'm sorry if you find it harsh but that's just how I feel about it."

"So what did you think of Niall? " Olly asked curiously.

"Well I didn't get to talk to him too much but he seemed like a pretty cool guy." I replied cooly.

"Well good because we're going to dinner with him and some more of his friends tonight. " He told me.

"Ok. Fine by me." I replied calmly on the outside, but on the inside I was thrilled to get to talk to Niall some more. There was just something about him that drew me in. Jet lag began to take its toll on me so I went back to bed until it was time to go get dinner.

"Aren't you gonna change?" Olly asked me taking in my outfit after I emerged from my room refreshed from my sleep. Olly was right jet lag blows.

"Why would I? " I asked. I didn't see anything wrong with my Beatles shirt, ripped shorts, tights, and black combat boots. "but fine I'll change. Give me ten minutes." I ran to my closet and threw on a tribal print skirt, navy tank top and ankle boots,and a coral blazer.

"Ok ready to go! " I shouted as I made my way towards Olly.

"Wow, this is certainly a change in style and in eight minutes too!"

"I don't have a set 'style ' that I follow Olly. I just see an outfit, like it, buy it, wear it." I explained as if it were a no brainer. "So where are we going? "

"A place called Nando's. Ever been? "

"No, I've never even heard of it."

"Don't let Niall hear you say that. That boy converts their food into oxygen."

"So how do you know Niall anyways? " I asked as Olly and I got seated in his car and began our drive to the restaurant.

"I met him when I still worked with the X-factor."

"Really? Niall can sing, like really sing?" Olly nodded to confirm my question "Wow, I never would have guessed it from that video. Not that he sounded bad he just didn't really sing. Did he make it far?"

"Not as a solo act no. He didn't even make it to the judge's house." I was informed and it actually made me kinda sad to hear that. I didn't have time to ask any more questions because we had pulled into the parking lot of Nando's where I saw five shadows waiting.

Once I had stepped out of the car the shadows became people. One of which I knew from earlier that day and another two that looked kind of familiar like Niall at first.

"Well lads." my big brother started to say to the five guys in front of us "this is my sister Abby. Abby, this is Harry, Louis, Liam, and Zayn. And of course you know Niall from this morning." Olly introduced all of us.

"Hello." they all said at the same time.

"Hi. You two look strangely familiar. " I said pointing to Liam and Harry once we had gone inside and gotten seated.

"We don't all look familiar to you?" asked the boy with brown, curly hair, green eyes, and a surprisingly deep voice who Olly said was Harry.

"Uhhh, no. Should you?" I asked slightly confused.

"You'd think she'd know you guys, but she's from a completely different planet ." Olly joked.

"And which planet would that be? " Niall asked in a teasing voice.

"Gallifrey." I stated simply.

"NO WAY!! You watch Doctor Who!? " the one named Louis asked me.

"Does this answer your question? " I asked and began tapping on the table four beats at a time.

"I like you." he announced with a goofy grin.

"SHE'S MINE!" Harry shouts out of nowhere causing everyone at the table to burst out laughing. Everyone except me.

"Am I missing something here? " I ask the group.

"Inside joke. " is all Olly will tell me. As we all are sitting there eating our dinner it suddenly hits me like one of the spitballs the boys were shooting everywhere.

"I know where you're from! " I shout a little too loud at Harry "You were in Ed Sheeran's music video for Drunk." Then the rest clicks. "And you! You're Liam Payne! My brother emailed me your audition video and you killed it! You my friend can belt out some Bublé."

"Are you sure that's the only thing you know us from?" Liam asked.

"Ok! That is twice tonight I've been asked that! Why should I know you guys!? " Right after dinner my question was answered.

We were on our way out of Nando's and I was in the middle of talking to Niall when we were completely surrounded by screaming girls. At first I thought that maybe they were here for my brother, but they all started going up to the boys and asking for their autographs.

"I'm the biggest One Direction fan there is." one girl told Niall after he stopped to take a picture with her. Then it all hit me. I just looked at the silly Irish boy next to me with the biggest look of surprise on my face.

"Shit." was all I could say.
