Two months later-
I am now currently living under the bench in town because theres more people and its much "safer." With the money that nice guy gave me I bought 5 apples, 5 cans of beans, and a case of water. I kept the cardboard from the stuff I bought so I have more protection from the elements. With what was left of the money I bought a guitar and case. My mum before she "passed away" taught me and I would go to church and play with the worship team.
I thought it could pass the time and I could earn money faster. So everyday I would sit in front of Nando's and play
for money. With the money I'd get I'd split it half for now half for later.
That guy hasn't come back for a while. I guess he didn't enjoy the food.
Today I felt very happy to be alive, for a first. I wakeup up in my "home" and collect my food and cardboard to bring with me as I played so no other homeless people will take it.
As I walked over to my spot I recognize a black car pulling up. I think nothing of it as I set up. As I grab my guitar out five guys walk out. They look familiar as well. The blonde especially. Oh! I know! He's the one who gave me money!
I went back to playing and singing "your song." I don't notice anybody when I play. I guess I just zone out. Not caring how I sang just enjoying the music. As I finished the song I looked up at my crowd. There are five guys standing in front of me. One was the one who offered me money.
"Hey are you the girl I met a few months ago?" The Irish one I met said.
"Yeah I think so. Hey listen thanks for that money really helped me out." I say with a smile while scratching the back of my neck.
"You have quite an amazing voice. So I'm glad the money went to good use." He replied.
"I never caught your name, mines Hannah."
"Niall. This is Zayn, Louis, Liam, and Harry." I looked at all their appearances and saw that they all had disguises on as well.
"May I ask a question?"
"Course'."
"Why are you all wearing disguises?"
"You don't recognize us by out names?"
"No, as you can see I'm not 'hip and happen in'."
"We are One Direction...... the biggest boy band in the world....?" Says Harry I think.
"Wow. Thats a cool accomplishment. I enjoy music as well. Although I like old songs. You probably may not know..."
"Aren't we around the same age?" Questioned Harry.
"Im 14." I say politely. Then whisper under my breath dumba$s.
"Love, I think your a bit confused of your age you look 16 or maybe even 17." Liam speaks up.
"I'm pretty sure I know my age. I guess mature fast." I shrugged my shoulders.
"Well I don't want to bother your meal.... So carry on." I begin to pack up my guitar to end my day of work early but get caught by a hand on my shoulder. I flinch back then slowly turn around.
"P-please d-don't touch me." My voice barely over a whisper.
The hand was quickly removed and it was Harry.
"Sorry..... I was just thinking when was your last good meal?" He continues.
"Depends on what you think a good meal is. I think of a good meal as an apple and a whole can of beans. Maybe even bread. It'd be like Thanksgiving." I say smiling at the thought.
"Oh yeah you guys don't celebrate that holiday....."
"Hun, I don't believe thats a meal. More of a snack." The with a shaved head says.... Liam! Thats his name.
"That'd fill me up for a week." I say smiling at the thought. Now I'm hungry.
"Hows about we take you to eat with us?"
"Naw I better get back home."
"Home? I thought you were homeless." Niall says with a confused face.
"I mean my park bench. Since its getting into the colder months I start to head over there sooner to set up my cardboard and stay warm. You can come if you. Have dinner?" I say. My mother always taught me to be polite.
"No no no! we insist on it. Our treat." Niall almost yells.
"If I agree will you agree to calm down?"
"I take that as a yes." Louis says.
"Thank you. I highly appreciate this." I say smiling.
We walk in and get a table. Soon a waiter comes over to our table.
"Whats would you like for drinks?"
I looked around the room listening to the boys answer. Then all is silent.
I look at the waiter who is staring at me.
"May I help you?" As nice as I can.
"Drink?" Oh. Duh. Damn it! Why am I so dumb?
"Water. Please."
"So. Tell us about yourself." Louis says trying to sound cheerful.
"Im homeless." I state sitting on my hands.
I hear Zayn mutter an 'ok then'.
"Favorite color?" Louis questioned.
"Blue."
"Favorite book?"
"Don't have one."
"Favorite movie?"
"Haven't seen one in years."
The questions went on and on throughout eating. Instead of 20 questions it was more like 100 questions.
I learned about their careers and how they came to be. Then the day became night and it was time to leave.
"Thank you so much for everything." I smile at Niall then the rest of the boys. As soon as hugs were over I grabbed my guitar and cardboard and walked home smiling.
I have so much to be thankful for. Food in my stomach. A beautiful guitar. Good weather. And five new..... what to call them? 'Almost friends.'
