― UNKNOWN NUMBER! (IRWIN)

37

A/N: I promise this chapter has drama and action and stuff.

A paintball arena stood before me, which filled my veins to the brim with excitement.

Paintball Crystal, that's what it was called. Well, there's Crystal.

But that's not why I said wow. Nine people stood outside the paintball arena waiting for Ashton and I.

Last time I checked I only had 5 friends, one of them behind me.

I scanned to group of people and froze up as I saw who the other 5 were.

One motherfucking Direction stood in front of me.

Waiting for me.

And who was that with them?

HALSEY!

I spurt of total and utter happiness I jumped around and bear hugged Ashton.

It took him a second to return the hug.

"Why...why are you hugging me?"

"I didn't tell anyone else I loved One Direction, only you,"

He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly before Michael shouted at us to come over so we could get started.

We walked over to them and before Luke even opens his mouth to introduce me to the five loves of my life, I had already hugged each and everyone of them.

I held Louis a little extra long. He didn't mind, though, he hugged back with just as much force. All of them did.

Everyone else rolled their eyes at me and tried to shove everyone inside.

Again, I stopped them, shyly asking if I could have a group hug from Niall, Louis, Harry, Liam, and Ashley.

They obliged and I felt like I was in heaven.

Damn, this birthday was already the best one yet.

We got into the building and I turned out that only Louis and I had played before.

Everyone learned quickly and soon enough it was time to pick teams.

"I call Larry,"

I grabbed the two boys and brought them over to me. They stood on each side, making it a Larry sandwich.

And I was in the fucking middle of it.

(A/N: WHEN YOU GET HOT JUST THINKING ABOUT IT DAMN I NEES SOME HOLY WATTER)

Since there were 11 of us we decided on two groups of four and one of three.

Since Louis and I were experienced, we agreed on being the group of three. Then we figured out our code names.

Bubblegum (me) , Oreo (Louis) and Popsicle (Harry.)

That was until someone decided to be in our group.

"Hey, Nikki, can I join your group?"

"Sorry, buddy, we're experienced and ready to whoop some asses, so it's only fair if you join another group,"

"Oh, come on, Nik,"
