Chapter 4 - They're Here!

Julie's POV

It's been a week since my dad gave me the news and my dad just left our house to pick them up from the airport. He'll be back in about an hour.

I run up the stairs and into my room.

I change into something a little more comfortable. A white tank top with blue jean shorts is what I find so I just put it on because I'm not in the mood to go through my clothes to find anything else. The jean shorts have small rips in the front and are really cute, but super short. I don't mind though.

I put on some mascara and brush through my long naturally straight blonde hair that falls past my shoulders and ends under my breasts.

I watch TV for a bit and then decide to go on twitter. I scroll thorugh my feed and see a new tweet from Niall Horan.

@Niall Horan tweeted: just arrived in Florida! can't wait to play soccer here while we're on break for summer.

I smile as I read the tweet. I go to the kitchen to get some food. I open the fridge and don't see anything I like. I jump on the counter and continue to scroll through my phone.

Suddenly the front door opens and I hear foot steps come throught the hallway. I ignore them and continue to go through twitter, trying to act casual.

I pull my fingers through my hair, continuing to scroll through my phone.

"Jules, get off the counter," my dad orders "we have guests."

I look up to see five new pairs of eyes staring at me. I smile nervously and hop off the counter, placing my phone in my back pocket.

"Hello!" Louis says cheerfully.

"Hi, I'm Julie." I reply.

"I'm Louis."

"I'm Harry."

"I'm Zayn."

"I'm Liam."

I nod and look at Niall, waiting for him to introduce himself. "Hi, Niall." I say waving my hand in front of his face as he stares at me without introducing himself.

"Oh, sorry, I'm Niall." Niall says snapping out of his stare.

I smile and brush past them and walk to the couch and turn on the TV.

"Jules, don't be rude, show them around." My dad says.

"Oh, sorry." I appoligize, standing up and waving at them to follow me. They follow me through the living room, to the sliding glass doors. "This is our backyard, it's pretty big and it has a pool." I say pointing out the window. I turn around and lead them upstairs. "This fist door to my right will be one of your's along with these first four rooms to your left." I say pointing to each room. "My bed room is this one." I say pointing to my bedroom which was the second door to the right.

I continue to walk down the hallway. "This is a game room." I point to the third door on the right side of the hallway. They all peak their heads in and I continue to lead them through the hallway. We got to the door that is straight ahead at the end of the hallway, "This is the master bedroom. It's my dad's." I say and turn around to see the all starring at me with awkward smiles.

I smile and sofly push my way through them. They all turn their heads and stare as I walk down the hallway and down the stairs.

"She's..." Liam trails off.

"Interesting..." Harry finsihes.

"I heard that!" I yell back.

I sit on the couch and turn the TV back on. They all come back down stairs after puting their stuff away in each of their rooms. They all sit down on the big couch next to me. I'm squished inbetween Louis and Harry.

"Getting, up-close and personal, huh?" I tease. I stand up and look down at them. "Would you like anything to eat, or drink?" I ask.

"Nope." They all answer.

"Alrighty, I'm going on a walk with my dogs..." I trail off. "Oh my gosh! I forgot to show you my dogs! You aren't afraid or allergic, right?" I ask. They shake their heads and I head towards my dads office which is by the front door. I open the big closet in his office and let the dogs out. They run past the kitchen and into the living room. They jump ontop of the boys. I laugh as they lick their faces and walk across their laps.

I pull the dogs off of them. "This one is Maggy," I say pointing ot the slightly older one. "and this one is Lizzy." I point to the younger one.

"They're so cute!" Niall says kissing Lizzie's head.

"You guys are welcome to come on the walk with me, but I understand if you don't want to because of the fans and pap." I shrug. "And the jet lag." I add as I walk back to the closet in my dad's office that holds the dogs' food, water, toys and leashes. I grab the pink leash and put it on Maggy, then take the red leash and hook it onto Lizzie's collar.

I walk out the door and begin to shut the door when it get's yanked open from someone on the other side.

"I'll come with you." Niall says nervously walking out of the door.

I smile and hand him Lizzie's leash for him to lead her as I lead Maggy.

"So..." I trail off trying ot make converstation. "You came here to play soccer?" I ask.

"Yep." He says popping the 'p'.

"How long have you been playing?" I ask as I stare into his gorgeous blue eyes.

"A while, you?"

"Since I was three." I say.

"Wow, so you play?" He asks and I nod. "You good?" He smirks.

"I suppose." I say shrugging.

"What does that mean?" He asks.

"Well, I just finished tenth grade and I was already given a scolership for college." I say.

"Wow! That's huge!" He replies grinning.

"Thanks." I smile at him.

We walk down the street and turn around to walk back.

"When are you going to college?" He asks.

"I'll do another year of high school and then skip my last year to go to college." I reply.

He nods.

"When do you leave?" I ask.

"The end of the summer, I suppose."

I nod not knowing how to reply.

We arrive back at my house and walk inside, unleashing the dogs. I place the leashes back in the closet and walk with Niall back to the living room.

"You can always take a nap in your rooms if you're tired." I say to all of them. They all look exhusted.

They all nod and walk up stairs to their rooms.

"Knock, knock!" Josh yells walking through my front room.

"Hey, Josh." I say smiling as he sits next to me on the couch and we begin to watch Mean Girls together.



Niall's POV

"Knock, knock!" I boys voice calls from downstairs. I instantly get curious so I walk out my my room which was the first door to the right, next to Julie's. I peak over the railing for the stairs and see a tall, brown haired boy come in the house and sit down next to Julie.

I feel...a bit jealous?

"No Niall, don't fall for her so fast, like you do every girl, that's probably her boyfriend anyways." I whisper quietly to myself. I head back in my room and fall asleep quickly.

After an hour nap I get up and head down stairs. Julie and the boy are staring at the TV but move their attention to me.

"Who the fuck is that?" The boy asks.

"A friend." Julie shrugs.

"He looks..." The boy trails off. "Do I know you?" He asks me.

"No." I answer and Julie laughs. "I'm in the band One Direction though." I shrug.

"Ohhhh!" The boy says smiling. "But why? How? Julie?" He asks confused.

"The other boys are up stairs sleeping. They came to play soccer while they're on break from tour. They're staying here the rest of the summer." She explains.

"Oh, nice to meet you." The boy says. "I'm Josh." He says leaning his back against the couch, moving his arm around Julies shoulders.

"Get off of me, you dirty scunk bag." Julie says shroving his arm off of her and scoots away from him.

I join them on the couch. "For a couple, you guys don't seem to like each other that much." I say laughing.

"A couple?!" Julie chokes out. "Ew! Hell no!" She exclaims.

"Offensive!" Josh yells.

I laugh at them as my heart beat starts slowing down in reliefe that he isn't her boyfriend.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" I ask. She shakes her head and smiles at me.

"Single as a pringle." She says flopping a pringle chip into her mouth.
