Music Saves Lives

Chapter Forty-Nine

I woke up to Harry and Liam throwing licorice at me. I groaned and pushed myself off Niall, who had woken up too, due to my sudden movements.

“Wake up! We’re home.” Harry grinned pinching my cheeks.

I rolled my eyes and stood up after they did. Niall pulled me onto his lap. “Let them go first.” He smiled, kissing my cheek.

Everyone else grabbed their luggage and started to head off the plane, I stood up again and reached for my bag but it was too far.

“Niall…” I whined.

He chuckled and grabbed my bag for me then retrieving his own. I slung my backpack on and started towards the exit, but Niall stopped me. He stood in front of me motioning me to jump onto his back. Niall held his bag and my legs, and then traveled down the steps.

“Come on!” Someone yelled and I snapped my head up to see it was Sean waving for us to hurry up.

Niall let me down and we jogged to the vehicle. Niall, his friends, and I all made the drive to his house. It was only midday but its feels like early morning and I was full of energy. When we pulled up to the house, we all piled out and grabbed our bags.

“Do you have your key?” Niall asked me.

I nodded and dropped my bags to get it out of my backpack. I smiled as I pushed the key into the lock for the first time of my new home. I bit my lip and turned the knob. I picked up my bags and ran straight for the stairs and up to my new bedroom. I threw my bags down and saw my boxes were piled up by the window and another dresser was added to the room that matched Niall’s. I heard footsteps come up the stairs when I started jumping on the bed with a huge grin. The boys stood at the door laughing at my childish behavior. I just kept jumping until Niall led them to the guest rooms.

“What are you doing?” Niall laughed as he walked back in.

I hopped onto the floor with a thud and jumped onto Niall. “I’m home.” I squealed as I wrapped my entire body around him. He lost his balanced and fell forward landing me on my back onto the bed. We both laughed as Niall leaned down hovering his lips over mine. I couldn’t stand it so I lifted my head to close the gap between our mouths.

“I’m so happy, Niall.” I panted as I returned back to reality.

“Me too, (y/n).” he stood up and held out his hand. “Let’s go get ready for this barbeque I planned.”

“Oooo a barbeque.” I grinned, as he held my hand, taking me down the stairs and to the kitchen.

“Yep, I thought that since my mates are here and it’s your first night as my roomy, we should celebrate. The boys are coming over too. Louis is bringing Eleanor too. I think you’ll like her.” He smiled.

“Yeah that’s if she likes me.” I sighed and sat down on a stool at his counter.

“Why wouldn’t she like you?” he chuckled.

“I don’t get along with many girls, Niall. How many times do I have to tell you that?”

“Yeah! God Niall, how many times does she have to tell ya?” Sean joked, walking into the kitchen in swim trunks along with Dylan and Darragh.

“Shut up!” Niall shouted. “Go start the grill for me, will ya? We’ll be right out.” Niall instructed.

They nodded and went out to the backyard. I watched as Niall pulled an array of meats from the freezer.

“Watcha got there, babe?” I grinned.

He set hamburgers and chicken down on the counter. Then went back to pull steaks out.
