It Started With Starbucks

Chapter 8

  I force a fake smile. "Ronny did WHAT now?" I say through clenched teeth. I swear Veronica Molly Rall if you told them about my past...

   Niall looks unsure and scared. I feel bad. "She... um... told us... LOUIS!!" I hear Louis come up the stairs. Seriously?

   "DID SHE HURT YOU? DON'T D- oh you're okay!" Louis comes in, without knocking. I hate it when people do that! What if I was naked?

   "She d-didn't hurt me b-but if I tell her what R-Ronny told us, she might. SO I want you to tell her!" says Niall, stuttering (?) a bit. Am I that scary? BOO!        

   Louis looks at him like he's crazy. WHAT IN THE WORLD DID RONNY TELL THEM???? "Okay! Sheesh! Well, Anna, Ronny told us that when she was little, she moved here and she had no friends except you. When she got home, she was hoping her new neighbors would come and see her. So, of course, when she heard the doorbell, she answered. She saw it was you and," Louis says, "was very happy. Twelve years later, she got a call from you asking if you could come over. When you came you asked if you could move in. She thought it was fine and so did your dad, but your mom didn't, so your dad moved. Then she said she couldn't tell us anymore because she said she felt bad. Can you tell us the rest?"

   I remember all of that perfectly. I don't think I should tell them anymore, we just met and they already know my story. Plus they're the world's heart-throbs. Why would they care about my life? I'm just a little person in this world.

   "Hello? Anna? Annabelle? Anybody home?" I hear Niall say.

   "What? Oh, yeah. Can you go down and send Ronny up? I need to talk with her, now," I say with absolutly no emotion. I am furious that she told them my story without my permission. "Please?"

   Louis studies my face for a moment before answering. "Sure. But PLEASE don't kill her. Okay?" He thinks I'd kill her? She's my best friend. I'm just mad.

   "Well okay!" Niall says and heads downstairs.

   "I said that aloud?" I ask Louis. He nods his head. Oh.

   "I'll send her up and tell the boys not to eavesdrop," Louis says. This boy is reading my mind. I think we'll be good friends.

   I smile. "Thanks!" I seriously want to know what was going through that girl's mind when she told them my story. I hear a knock. Okay. Here it comes. I answer the door. "Come in Ronny."

                                                    Niall's POV (just to make it interesting)


   I seriously don't know what to do about Anna. I like love her, as you've probably already guessed. But how could an amazing, beautiful, funny, smart, kind, and just perfect girl like ME of all people?

                                                       Louis' POV (woah dude, TWICE? yeppers!)

   I don't know what to do about Anna. I don't even know her favorite color and I think know I like her. But don't want Niall to know because he obviously likes her too, but I WILL fight for her.
