Home (1D/Olly Murs)

Chapter 5

The very next morning I woke up feeling refreshed and energized. I hadn't felt that way in I couldn't even remember how long and I was loving it. I quickly dressed in one of my favorite long sleeved shirts and a pair of shorts and skipped down the hall to meet my brother for breakfast. Nothing could kill my mood nothing except the news my brother had.

"Abby, my manager called this morning to tell me about the article I was mentioned in for performing at the show last night and-"

"That's great Olly! They wrote an article about your surprise performance!" I gushed.

"Yeah the article was cool, but I have a feeling more people are interested in the headlining story." he pointed to the main story on the webpage.

"Niall Horan's 'Lucky Charm '" I read aloud. " Last night during one of the many shows on One Direction's Take Me Home tour our boys sang their hearts out. It was noticed by many that the band's own Niall James Horan gave the most stellar performance we have wittnessed to date. 'I had help ' the teen pop sensation commented when asked about his mind blowing performance 'it was my lucky charm.' It was also reported that he left the concert with a girl whom he seemed to be rather cozy with. Who is this mystery girl and has she gained yet another title : Niall's princess." Below the headine there was a picture of us leaving as he was giving me a piggy back ride. I was so thankful that I had thought to pull my hood up or else things could've gotten real bad real fast.

"This is absolutely ridiculous Olly. Niall and I are just friends and the press feels the need to grasp at straws and make it something more. "

"But are you really just friends Abs? " Olly asked with suspicion

"Yes we are. Do you think Niall has seen this? " I asked, changing the subject.

"I'm not sure but you should probably call him just in case."

"Good idea, let me go grab my phone. "

"Since when do YOU have his number hmm? " Olly asked with a look that said 'just friends my ass '.

"Since he put it in my phone. Now shush I'm on the phone." I silenced him as I listened for the ringing to stop and for my favorite Irishman to answer.

"Ello. " he said picking up on the fourth ring.

"Hey, Niall you haven't by any chance checked out sugarscape today have you? "

"No, can't say that I have."

"Well ya might wanna do that. Like now." I could hear rustling and then the pecking of keys and then Niall spoke again.

"Well shit." was all he had to say.

"I know right!? "

"Looks like the lads and I are just going to have to be more careful when we hang out with you because I don't think you want to be in the public eye."

"Exactly. "

And that's exactly what we did. For weeks Niall and I kept our friendship out of the public eye. We mostly stuck to hanging out at sound checks and at Olly's flat. Despite all of this we became incredibly close. He was easily my most trusted friend and I was so greatful to have the big blonde dork in my life.

"So do ya wanna go to the beach today? " Niall asked during one of our daily phone calls.

"Uhhh...."

"Don't worry it's a private beach a few hours away from here so we should be safe."

"Sure why not."

"Great we'll come round to get you in about thirty minutes. "

"Ok see ya then. " the call ended with a click. "Olly, the boys are wanting me to go to the beach with them. Is that ok? "
