I'm Looking For You(One Direction)

Ch. 27 Group Bonding

I walk toward the lads and look at what they are admiring.

That painting of them was done a long time ago. I remember because I had it packed even when I arrived here. I may have lied a bit, but it was for their own good... I guess.

"You know this took me forever to do. I had to make sure I got every detail. I was finished, but when I met you guys I had to make it even better. Like before, Liam's birthrate wasn't noticeable, now it's noticeable and the right shape.

"Zayn's hair was still on the flat side and I had to make sure I got the shine in. Louis didn't have the aura he has now, I added that by the way I changed his face and made him like that. Niall was still a little off.

"Now you can tell he's a happy-go-lucky kind of person. And then there's Harry. Man once I officially met you I had to get that cheeky face of yours into this. I mean by doing that. for your personality in this and I guess in Harry's case I made him 'hot'. But seriously, can't you feel your own personalities in this painting?" I ask them

They all nod and continue to stare at it. It's actually very entertaining because they move their heads from side to side like their confused or something. I then see that Zayn' attention is no longer on the group painting, it's on the one I painted of what I thought he and I would have been like if we were children together.

"You know brother this is what I thought we would've been like together of we grew up together. I actually finished this yesterday and I loved how it came out." I tell him staring at it too.

"Ya, we should make that a reality, just fast forward like ten or more years." I laugh at him, but he's serious and hugs me like in the painting.

I'm shocked at first then I relax and hug him back and we hug for a while. We don't pull away until I hear a click from a phone and I know they took at picture. I step out of his arms and walk towards Louis who has his phone out and look at the picture.

The picture is almost identical to the painting. We're just older and we're not in a backyard. The embrace is still the same and you can get the same feelings from it.

"Louis send me that picture." he nods and I get it a second later.

I thank him and walk toward the front of the room where they can't see me and I enter the room next door through the secret door. I don't know how I got a hidden. door in this room, but it's awesome. There's no other way you can get in.

I know exactly what to do with the lads. They'll probably think this is weird, but it's the best thing I've ever done. I kind of stole it from a movie, but I mean who didn't once they saw it.

I'm done with the set up since I had it done already. I walk back out into the other room and the guys are still looking at my paintings. This time though they are looking at the painting of Daniel Radcliff. I know what people think when they see my work. It's always the same

Why don't you become an artist?

Why haven't you been in a gallery before?

Why don't you have your own show?

When are you going to sell your work?

When am I going to have one signed by the person I drew and sell it?

and the list goes on and on. I did try to get them signed, but they never did. My pieces were always sent back without a signature and a loss of hope.

I was especially sad when I sent in the very one they are looking at. I had to pay good money to ship this over here from where I used to live. And then cone the next week or two it comes back and a letter that said he Daniel couldn't sign it and that he was very 'sorry' he was. Yeah right. The dude wasn't sorry and he just didn't want to let him sign it. Plus, I had to pay for the return postage. I mean the least that dude could've done was at least pay to have it safely returned.
