Liam helped me into the car, well it was a limo but I didn’t want to sound smug. I was sitting in the middle of Louis and Harry while Niall, Zayn and Liam were sat round the otherside.

“Home Paul” Liam shouted as he knocked on the window that led into the front end of the car. As the engine started up we all went silent. It was really awkward, someone would open their mouth to say something then close it again, sort of like a fish. I rested my head on Harry’s shoulder.

“You tired love?” Harry asked.

“Just a little” I replied then yawned.

“It’s okay Emily, we know about the medical thing. We understand if you need to sleep,” Liam spoke softly. I closed my eyes for a moment before opening them again.

“No it’s okay. I’m in a little pain anyway” I said and smiled.

“We’ll give you some medicine when we get home and call Abby so she can update us with everything. We will take care of you Emily” Liam said, I guess he’s in charge or something.

“Thanks Liam. Do you have any food at home, I’m quite peckish?” I asked.

“A girl with an appetite, brilliant” Niall laughed. He had an Irish accent; it stood out among the rest of them.

“Yes we always have food stocked up due to fatty here” Zayn pointed to Niall.

“Hey I find that offensive” Niall put his hands up.

“As long as you don’t both eat all the food, we’ll be good” Liam looked sternly at Niall then at me.

“Yes dad” Niall joked.

“I won’t Liam” I said sweetly. The ride home was quiet after mine and Niall’s food conversation. I found the will to stay awake till we got into the house. The boys took me upstairs into the lounge room I think. It was warm and cosy and inviting.

“Harry you take Emily to her room, she looks like she’s about to pass out” Liam said. This medicine really takes it out of me. Before I knew it Harry was lying me down on my bed.

“Sweet dreams princess”.

Harry’s P.O.V.

I closed her door and walked downstairs. Niall and Louis were sitting on the sofa watching us on youtube. Zayn was somewhere and Liam was sitting on the windowsill looking out into the sky. We have a three-storey house plus an open roof. The kitchen and back garden downstairs, the lounge area where we are now plus Niall and Zayn’s rooms. Then the bedrooms upstairs where me, Louis, Liam and now Emily sleep and then the rooftop. I leaned on the back of the sofa and put my head between Louis and Niall.

“And we danced all night to the best song ever” I sang.

“I loved making that song” Louis said.

“Yeah, they had food” Niall laughed.

“You like anything and anyone who has food Niall” I chuckled.

“Speaking of food can you run down to Mcdonalds and grab me a chicken burger please Haz” Niall asked and gave me puppy dog eyes.

“Why can’t Louis he’s sitting right next to you or Zayn? Where is Zayn anyway?” I asked and stood up.

“Rooftop, writing a new song and Louis can’t do it because we’re playing on the xbox together” Niall said.

“Fine, I’m going” I pouted before jogging downstairs. It’ll be good to get out.

Liam’s P.O.V.

I like watching the world go by. Sometimes I sit up on the roof and look up at the sky and wonder what life would be like if we weren’t famous. Maybe the world would be different; all the girls would be fanning over The Wanted instead. What an uncomfortable thought.

“Liam should we call Abby?” Louis asked me.

“Already done it, she’s coming over around 3ish. That gives us enough time to eat dinner that Harry’s voluntarily gone to get, and to tidy up this room”.

 “Well this is Louis’s mess” Niall stated.

“What, I don’t leave noodle pots lying around” Louis protested.

“I don’t care whose mess it is, you can both tidy it up”. I left the room as they started bickering. I walked up the stairs and went past Emily’s room. I opened the door slightly to see her hanging up clothes in the wardrobe.

“We could have done that for you” I said as I walked in making her jump.

“You startled me. You’ve done everything for me so far so I would like to put my clothes away if you don’t mind” she smiled.

“I’m going to get Zayn, if you want you can go downstairs and boss Niall and Louis around, they’re supposed to be cleaning up” I hinted. She nodded and skipped out the room. I watched her go before leaving to and climbing the ladders up to the rooftop.

Emily’s P.O.V.

I ran down the stairs to find Niall and Louis having a pillow fight.

“Stop!” I shouted. They both came to an abrupt stop and looked at me.

“Aren’t you supposed to be cleaning up?” I asked. They both shrugged.

“Well I’m in charge now Liam says, so you’re going to clean up” I placed my hands on my hips and glared them down; I don’t think I’m good at being mean or mad. Niall and Louis turned to face me, arms by their side and their heads high, they looked like army men.

“Now Louis you are going to tidy the sofa, hoover the floor and neaten the room out”.

“Yes ma’am” Louis saluted me.

“At ease sir. Niall you are going to dust, put rubbish away and clean the TV, I want to see my face shining in it” I finished.

“Yes ma’am” Niall saluted me too.

“Get going” I clapped my hands and they were off. I sat at the bottom of the stairs and watched them work.

“How did you do that?” I looked up to see a shocked looking Liam. He was pointing at Niall and Louis and stuttering.

“Guess I rule in their worlds. Zayn come and sit next to me, I can’t stop laughing at them”. Zayn plonked his butt next to me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder.
