I walk back to my room and start un packing, that deep English accent remains ringing in my head.

"Don't fall for me next time I visit"

Who on earth does he think he is? Is he not accoustumed to the term respect or is he naturally that rude. To many clothes and such little time I push aside my unpacking and grab my laptop. I go on YouTube and start my playlist. After eleven songs have passed I notice on the suggestion box the name One Direction.

I click on one of their music videos the song is called One Thing. They are actaully quite good this song is catchy. I could tell Liam has changed. He's a lot taller now and his haircut is different. If he didn't have such a rude personality he would actually be attractive... wait a second what am I saying this is stupid why am I putting so much effort into researching this stranger.

I look over to my phone and see it is 4:15 pm, I am pretty hungry but I don't want to eat.

No matter the time or place I will never be able to escape these unwanted memories. I don't want to remember all those skipped meals and my undesirable reflection. I try so effortlessly to eat but my body is so accustomed to my old habits. In high school I remember nothing ever entered inside my stomach.Even if I did eat the correct three course meal my stomach wouldn't allow it. The outcome would result in throwing the unwanted meal into a dark swirling hole. But as the days go by I only eat dinner no breakfast, lunch or dessert. I couldn't and still can't escape the desire of fitting the perfect weight image it's all I really can accomplish.  I rub my temples and walk over to the kitchen and look in the fridge. I see nothing but emptiness but there is a note it was from uncle Ricky.

*'m going to buy groceries tonight so you order take out tonight I'll be back tomorrow morning*

Then I remember Liam saying.

"What the hell"

Well that explains his rude response. I am not familiar witht the area so that only leaves a clueless teenager with nothing to eat. I dislike take out anyways and I'm not that hungry. As I pace back over to my bedroom I hear a slight knock on the door. Ricky has a key already so who elese would be here? I walk back into the living room and tippy toe in front of the door. Trying to reveal who this anymous strager is through the peep hole.

The door then slowly opens and I fall violently to the ground. I rub the back of my head and I can feel a hand on my thigh. I open my eyes gently and in front of me appears a boy. His blonde hair shining and those blue eyes remain n contact with my light brown eyes. All this staring began making me flustered. He immedialty relaizes his hand still on my thigh and pulls away.

"I'm so sorry I should have waited until someone opened the door" "Are you okay?" his accent squeaks.

"It's fine I shouldnt have been so close to the door" I try to show a sincere smile. Wait a second he looks familiar... He begins to grasp both my hands and lifts me off the ground.

"I'm really sorry again I just came to see someone but it looks like they're not here" Those blue eyes kept my mouth enclosed I couldn't even speak even if I tried. Luckily he looks away for a moment and I am able to reply.

"Do you mean Ricky?" I ask wearily.

"Yeah I just had a nine hour flight and I'm really exhuasted" he begins to crack his back.

"I'm really sorry if you want I can give him a call'

"No, no its fine I just wanted a place to crash but I can go to  a nearby hotel" He begins to cross over to me and drops his heavy backpack to the ground.

"What's your name?"

"My name... umm its Rose"

"Unique for a pretty girl like you" Did he just call me pretty or did I misinterpret his compliment. I guess this all new to me since no  guy has ever called me that. In a way it  feels sensational my lips are unable to resist to turn into a smile.

"Thanks by the way is there any way I can help?" I return from my daydreaming

"No its fine it looks like you just got here or something where you from?"

"I'm from California I'm staying here for who knows how long" I'm surprised at how quickly I answer. Especially how there is no tension what so ever, even though we just barely met. I begin to wonder why I am telling him all this he's just some stranger I met, but his kind words and politeness it took over my senses.

"You seem like a nice girl I hope I get to you know you more so we can hang out" he says looking over to me with those blue eyes. 

"That would be nice" I look down to my feet.

"Surprised you're not screaming right now" he whispers laying down on the couch.

"Huh?"

"Well first let me introduce myself I'm Niall Horan" Niall Horan I know I have heard his name before so most likely he is famous. That's it! I remember now

"You know what nevermind" he sits back up.

"Youre in a band I know" "But just because your famous doesnt me its going to effect my image of you" Niall stands up from the couch and begins to stare at me with a confused look.

"Your different, but different is good" he begins to smile gigling.

"But in all honesty I just found out about your band today I'm sorry"

"Oh that's a shame you should listen to our album, how'd you find out about us?"

"I took a taxi over here and the driver began telling me about how you all were coming to New York and..."  I caught myself before I mentioned Liam came here. Why don't I just tell him its not like Liam told me to keep it a secret and even if he did I wouldn't keep a secret for him.

"And?" Niall asks

"Oh Liam came by he was looking for Ricky to but then he left with some girl named Sophia" Niall begins to scowl, he seemed as if he wwas on the verge of punching something or someone.

"He's here with her" Niall asks in a shaky tone.

"Niall are you okay?" I walk closer to him.

"Yeah I guess since you only heard about the band today I guess you really don't know the relationship between us all" we both sit back down on the couch.

"What happened? if you don't mind me asking"

"Well..Liam changed in the beginning he was like a brother to all of us but this past year he changed a lot he got trapped in the spotlight he let popularity get to him and me and the other lads think its because of that girl Sophia" Niall says so wearily as if he was about to fade away at any given moment.

I remain silent I just came here barely knowing anything about this band and now I'm hearing the life story of how a band is torn apart by Liam. I could tell by Niall's deep blue eyes that he's been through so much. He misses the distant memories of a lost brother.

( Just to let you all know just because I mentioned One Thing doesnt mean this a carrot fanfiction)
