One Direction to the Rescue

The Invitation-ch10

Scott's point of view

The next morning I woke up completely exhausted as if I didn’t sleep at all.  I rolled to my side and saw that my phone has a couple messages.  Usually the only messages I get are from Jason but most of them were unknown.  I open each of them and start smiling as I read them each.  They were Louis, Liam, Niall, and Zayn all texting me something different but all wanted to meet before they left, of course Harry texted too but I already had his number.  I texted them all back saying ‘Starbucks?’ and instantly got 5 replies with yes.

I was down in the lobby first when I see Big and Blade come from around the corner.  Blade was about to say something but I started before he could “So I’m going to see how good you guys really are” I said mysteriously. 

They both look at each other and then looked back at me “So I’m going to Starbucks with One Direction and told them that we would only need my security.  I really talked you guys up so you better not disappoint me”

They both looked at each other again and they both smiled.  “Not a problem” Blade said smirking now “6 brats can’t be that hard to handle”

I punch him playfully then see the other guys all come down.  We make it to Starbucks without any hiccups along the way.  We all ordered our drinks and sat at a corner table.  Blade and Big were literally like a wall facing the other direction to let us have some privacy.

“I’m so excited to go home to Ireland!!” Niall said with a mouthful of a muffin

“Yea it’s going to be nice to go home and see the whole family.  I haven’t seen my sisters in forever!” Louis added

“It’s sort of funny I almost miss the weather back home.” We all laughed a little.  “So do you get Christmas off for shooting?”

“Actually I get a couple weeks off.” I said taking another sip of my ice coffee, hoping no one would ask why.  “But Jason set up a couple print jobs for me to go to, so whenever I tell him where I will spend my break he takes care of the rest.”

“Wait won’t you go home for break and see your family?”  Niall asked

I knew it would come eventually.  I just looked down at my coffee for a couple seconds thinking about that day until I realized I didn’t answer the question.  “I would but my parents passed away a couple years ago and my brother is in the army.”

Niall gasped “I’m so sorry I didn’t know…”

I snapped out of my mood and smiled “No don’t feel bad, not that many people know.  Actually a very few people know about my home life, but that’s for a different day.” I was hoping they would let it go.

“So where do you think you’ll go this holiday?” Liam asked trying not to sound pestering

“I really don’t know yet.  There’s so many places I want to go but haven’t decided quite yet”

“Wait are you going by yourself?”  Harry asked

“Well yea… Jason would probably come but he has a family, so that’s actually a good thing for me, not so much for his family.” With that I got a couple laughs but I could tell the mood went down.  Great another moment I ruined.  Why is it always me who ruins the mood?

“Well I just can’t let that happen” Harry said making me look at him.

“What do you mean?”

“I mean that I just decided you’re going to come home with me!” I just looked at him shocked

“No no no I couldn’t do that.  You barely get to see your family as is, I don’t want to ruin that”
