One Thing ~~~ One Direction FanFiction

Chapter Four

~~~Rivers POV~~~

I sit on the couch with an amused look on my face as I watch Harry and Louis wrestle on the floor. Liam is on the phone with the boys manager. Zayn is shouting a bunch of things at Louis and Harry like 'Louis! You can't do that in wrestling!' 'Harry, you don't touch that!' and 'I don't know if that was legal, but I don't think it should be." It was pretty funny. And Niall. Well, Niall was eating Oreos and laughing at Louis and Harry.

It's been a week since I've left the foster home. I feel like I belong here. I feel at home. It's nice. I also haven't had a nightmare in the time I've been here. Me and Louis have become great friends. I have a nice friendship with the other boys, but it's different with Louis. But I'm scared, scared that I may be falling for him. Aw, scratch that, I already have fallen for him. I'm just scared that I will get my heart broken.

"Oi! Harry! Take that! Ha! Does you're carrot hurt, Harry?! Huh? Huh?!" Louis shouted. Niall sprayed Oreo bits everywhere while laughing. I let out a small laugh before walking into the kitchen to find Mrs. Payne making dinner.

"Do you need any help in here, Mrs. Payne?" I ask shyly. She turns around and smiles.

"Oh! Don't call me that! Call me Mom, or atleast Karen if you won't call me Mom." I smile and nod. "Could you set the table, dear?" she asks and I nod and start to set out the plates and glasses on the table. A though hit me.

"Umm, so, did Sammi tell you about my past?" I ask quietly. Karen freezes.

"Um, yes, she did." I nod. "Honey, if you ever need to talk, I'm here for you. I know I can't understand what you went through, but I want you to know, if there is absolutely anything we can do for you, please tell us. I want to give you a chance to be a normal teenage girl." Karen says before walking towards me and wrapping me in a big hug. I slowly wrap my hugs around her. I felt like I was back in the arms of my mom again. I didn't cry at the thought of my mom hugging me, I smiled.

"Thank you," I whisper before pulling out of the hug and turning to finish setting the table.

After dinner and a huge argument on whether spagetti was health or not, we were all piled in the living room. Louis, Niall, and Harry all sat on the couch with me laying on top of them, my feet on Harrys lap and my head on Louis's lap. Liam lay on the small couch that also sat in the room while Zayn sat on the recliner that was in the room.

We were watching some 'scary' movie. Yeah, it wasn't scary at all.

"Look, he's gonna die. She's gonna die. That couple are gonna die and the girl is gonna die. He's gonna live and so is she." I say.

'How do you know?" Zayn asks.

"The blondes always die. The hot guys always die. And the couples always die." I say simply.

As we start getting to the end of the movie I start laughing my ass off.

"Why do you find this so funny?!" Harry asked. I laughed a few more seconds before answering him.

"The girl is so stupid. Why would you go in your house and yell 'Hello? Is anyone there?' when its quite obvious that there is a killer in the house? What are you expecting? The killer to yell 'Oh, hey! Yeah, I'm in the kitchen, what a sandwich?' What you're supossed to do is be very quiet and get out of the house." I say in complete seriousness while the boys erupt with laughter.

Finally they calmed down and by this point the girl in the movie was running away from the man with the knife through the woods. She was almost out of sight when she looked back and, of course, fell on a tree branch. At this point I started cracking up. The boys looked at me oddly. I stopped laughing for a few moments to explain.
