A Helpful Hand

Ch17. No Messing Around

Time just went by so fast. Like it was just yesterday that Jo and I were talking about what we were going to do over the next couple of days, now we are about to head over to the adress that Harry sent me and by the means of it, it looks like it will be at least a six hour drive. Even though I just met these boys not long ago, they seem to know alittle about me. Like we just came closer together and all we do is text one another.

"Now Emma," my mom started, "You are going to be in a house full of boys-"

"Jo will be there Mom. I won't be alone." I interrupted.

"Don't interrupt me." she stated, "Anywho, I want you both to be on your best behavior. I don't want to be a grandmother yet or will want to be for a long while now. Plus I don't want to hear about my daughter breaking anything. Do you hear me Emma?" she pointed at me.

"Yes mother." I sat back in my chair,holding back a laugh. I am ready to get out of here once Jo comes with her car and things for the weekend.

"Don't do that, I feel old when you and Ethan do that." She rubbed her temples, " I just want you to be safe. It's a mother's job to worry about her kids." she hugged me.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. I promise." I hugged her back, hearing a honk from outside.

"Hurry Emma! We have alot of ground to cover." Jo screamed form her car.

"Bye, don't forget to call me, love you!" my mom called out to me

"Don't worry. I won't forget, love you!" I yelled jogging to Jo's car with my things.

~~

"Whoa." I stood there in awe, with Jo by my side.

The boy's house is huge. It was one of those casual homey mini mansion homes, but bigger... and better. Either way it looked nice. We got our stuff from the trunk and headed to the front door.

"Emma!" a curly headed boy came out of the door and ran towards me.

"Harry!" I dropped my stuff and ran to him, crashing into his arms for a hug.

He laughed, almost tipping over onto the ground, but hugged me one last time before letting me go.

"Sup Jo." he nodded.

"Hi," Jo smiled, "mind giving us a hand with our things? You are the guy and all."

"Hardy har, sure." Harry picked up some bags, "It's just Niall and I in the house, the other boys will be by later."

Once we got everything in the house, Niall showed us to the rooms we are going to be staying in for the time being. The room had tan walls, designs on the walls, with two beds in the middle. Simple, but really pretty.

"When you two are done getting settled, come down stairs and we will discuss dinner and what we are going to do for the next few days." Niall told us and left, closing the store behind him.

"He is too adorable," Jo squealed, "I love him so much. I can't believe we will be hanging out with One Direction."

"Don't go all fangirl mode on me." I shook her. "Well not now anyway, okay?"

After finally realizing the fact that we are excited and we can't help it, we finally decided to go downstairs to meet up with Niall and Harry.

"Oomp." I bumped into something, landing on the ground.

"Haha," a cherry voice laughed, "It wasn't how my greeting was going to be, but it'll do."

I rubbed the back of my head, groaning from the pain. "You could've been alittle more gentle Liam?"

"Sorry, love." he stretched out his hand, "I can't contain my strength."

Laughing, I grabbed his hand and he helped me up. He led us to the living room. All the boys were sitting on the sofas. Jo and I decided to sit on the big love seat.

"That's not fair." Jo leaned close to me, "Why can't I be ran over by one of them?"

"I'll be glad to trade you spots."

"No, I want to be ran over by someone other than Liam." she looked around the room, "Zayn. Definately Zayn, if only I didn't ship Zerrie so hard." she pouted.

Before I even had time to reply, Louis walked in with bags in his hands. "Darlings, I'm home! Did anybody-"

"Food!" four boys ran at Louis, grabbing the bags.

"Miss me..?" he finished his question. "Pigs." he scoffed.

Just sitting here, I got a real close look at Louis. He was in jeans with a white shirt, jean jacket over. His hair was messy in a beanie and you can see the little stubble of hairs covering his chin.

"And who are these two lovely ladies?" Louis came and sat next to me my lap, draping his legs over Jo's lap. "Just kidding. Harry has been talking about you two all week."

He laid his head back on me, resting his head in my neck. I closed my eyes, noticing how surprisingly comfortable this is. Laughing at myself a little bit, I got my phone out. I was about to tell Jo to take a picture of this, but the next thing I knew Louis was on the ground.

"No messing around, mate. Now get up and eat your food before it gets cold."
