When Life Happens

Chapter 5 

*Hannah's POV*

Oh my flacking goodness. That's all I can think as we're walking closer to the bus. Question after question is racing through my mind.

Are the boys here? What if I see them? What if I forget what to say? What if I freeze? What if Harry's naked? OMG What if I faint? Can I be arrested for this? What if they invite us inside?

I can't stop shaking. Beth's shaking more than I am. Breathing in, I look over at her as she asks me a question. 

"Do you know what you're going to say?"

I glance at the bus, then back at her. "Yeah, I do."

Before I know it, Beth's knocking on the door. 

I giggle nervously and we wait for a few moments.

And I think I might have fallen down if Beth hadn't have been gripping my arm. Because Niall Horan of One Direction opened the big black door of the big black bus housing the five loves of my insignificant little life.

"Wey hey, you girls have the pizza?"

I stand frozen. I hear a familiar voice say from beside me, "Oh yeah, about that. We were driving over here and, while we were stopped at a light, this homeless man and I made eye contact. And, don't hate me for this, I gave away your pizza. But in all fairness, I think he may have needed it more than you boys. I just felt I should continue over here to at least explain why your pizza never arrived."

Score one for Bethers and her amazing quick thinking.

Niall looks at us, and his gaze makes my breath catch in my throat. I take a deep breath, compose myself, and say "I know this is completely crazy and I really hope you don't get us fired. BUT we can totally go buy you another pizza right now. I'll pay with my own cash."

He laughs out loud and I'm pretty sure not even an angel can make a more glorious sound.

I look to Beth and I can see the smile she's hiding inside.

"So you two, and whoever dat lad is over dere all came in dat one truck to bring ONE pizza? Dat you all managed to get rid of before arriving."

He looks from Beth, to me, to Jonah, then back at Beth again. She opens her mouth to speak, but I'm the one that answers.

"Yeah, like we said, we're super sorry we don't have your pizza. But we were raised in really good Christian families (that's a lie) and we just felt it was out duty."

"You girls are great, It's completely fine. If Paul wasn't so strict with us I'd do the same thing. We've probably all eaten more than we should've anyway."

We both smile at him, and another unexpected thing happens, Niall extends the door open and says, "Why don't y'all come in for a bit? We gotta leave in a few hours for a private show but until den we're just all trying to entertain ourselves. And, in all honesty, I think we're all very, very bored."

Beth signals Jonah over, and then she smiles as a response to Niall's offer. 

And then, with Beth's hand in mine and a gentle smile from Niall and Jonah's hand on the small of my back, we walk into One Direction's tour bus.
