"Noelle. Come on, wake up." I heard someone say to me as I felt my body shake. "Chandler?" I asked.
Maybe this was all a dream and I was merely asleep. I just had to wake up and see Chandler laying next to me. There was never a funeral, never any tears, never a fight, and never a sudden death.
Never anything.
Though, to my demise, I woke up to see Zayn and his mate Liam towering over me. "Thank god you're finally awake! I was so worried!" Zayn said engulfing me in a hug.
"I-I thought you were Chandler for a second." I said trying not to sound upset but failing miserably. "Where am I?" I asked.
"Well Liam carried you here to the guest room. I found you passed out on the floor in your room." Zayn said coming out of the hug.
"Why was I passed out?" I asked.
"We figured it was overwhelming you by going through Chandlers clothes. Thats probably what caused it." Liam stated.
"Oh." Is all I said.
I could talk about what I saw before I blacked out. The little box. But the thought made a lump in my throat come back.
"Noe? I have a proposition." Zayn said bringing me out of my thoughts.
"What?" I asked looking up at him.
"Why don't you go stay with Harry a while? He's your best mate right? I'd offer my house but Perrie is there and it wouldn't be much for bonding time. Anyway, Harry is like a brother right? And I think you being away from here will make things better." he explained.
It's not a bad idea, Harry doesn't live with anyone and he lives in Cheshire. A quite little town that I absolutely adore.
"I could use a vacation." I smile at Zayn as he smiled at me.
"I'll get you packed and you call Harry and ask." Zayn said kissing my head and walking to my room and getting my things.
-----
Later that evening Zayn, Liam and I arrived at Harry's house.
A quiet little house that's off by itself, surrounded by wooded area. It's really a lovely place.
I stepped out of the car and was instantly greater by cool autumn air. It was a comforting kind of cool. The kind that makes you sleepy.
Liam grabbed my bags from the boot as Harry opened the front door to his home. I saw his smile from yards away.
I smiled as well when he picked me up and spun me around as he hugged me.
"Put me down." I laughed and struggled to have to human toothpick place me on the ground.
"God, you miss a week and she's nearly back to normal." Harry laughed, though I could feel the gaze from Zayn.
In his mind he was thinking 'she's not normal. she never will be nomral again.'.
I only knew this because I was thinking the same thing about myself.
"Well come on in, I'll show you to your new room. We can watch movies and give each other make overs. Do each other's hair." Harry said with a strange American accent to his voice.
"You do realize both of us are over 20, and I haven't had a sleep over like that for about 10 years." I laughed and Harry joined as Liam and Zayn followed us inside.
Why is it that Harry can make me forget all of my problems so easily while Zayn tries his hardest and only makes things harder?
Aren't brothers suppose to be the ones to make things easier?
We all got inside and I was shown to my room where the house was cottage themed and wooden beams lined the ceiling horizontally through the entire household.
It was beautiful and honestly breathtaking.
"We can unpack later, right now I want us to go downstairs and hang out." Harry smiled as grabbed my hand while pulling me down the stairs.
"You good now yeah?" Zayn asked and I nodded.
"Liam and I have to get back to mum's flat for a while. I'll be back in a few days to check up on you." he said hugging me then kissing my forehead. "Be good." he smiled then he and Liam left.
"I don't know what it is with you but he's so protective." Harry said.
"He's my older brother, what can you expect."
"I mean he has two other younger sisters yet your the only one he treats like that. It's weird if you ask me."
"Maybe he's like trying to give me the brotherly love that I missed out on for seventeen years." I laugh and lay my head on Harry's lap while he's sat on the couch.
"Has it really only been four years since we met?" he asked.
"Yeah, weird huh."
"Seems like so much longer."
"It does feel like I grew up a lot in those years. I mean when we met I was only 17 and you were 19. Now look at us, 20 and 22."
"Yeah, remember the first day we met?" Harry laughed.
"Zayn was so weird." I laughed.
"I remember he was so talking so much about how he wanted to introduce you to Liam and I. He was so nervous because for some reason he wanted to impress you."
"I remember walking in and Zayn was like 'that's it'." I smiled.
"And then Liam got that weird crush on you, but I mean who wouldn't."
I laughed, Harry always had weird little flirty comments like that. He's such a sweet friend.
"Remember later that night when Chandler came over with Niall and Louis?" I asked.
"Yeah and it took you 80 years to remember that Chandler and Louis were related." he laughed at me.
"The whole step sibling thing still confuses me to this day. I mean they looked so similar, how could they be step siblings?" I asked.
"Well they don't have the same parents. Neither do you or Zayn." Harry answered my rhetorical question.
I rolled my eyes.
"Speaking of Louis and Niall, they might come over tomorrow or the day after. Is that okay?"
"But, Louis kind of hates me at the moment." I said.
"I know, but maybe you two should talk about it. The whole Chandler thing is not your fault, none of it is and he needs to realize that."
"I think I need to realize it as well."
