\\Chapter 3//

I wake up to the sound of talking down stairs. I walk down the stairs to see two girls talking with the rest of the boys. They were all seated on the couch. They are turned around and have yet to notice my presence. I slowly proceed down the stairs. "Good morning Brianna how'd you sleep?" Niall asks. That's when the two girls turn around and I gasp.

"RUBY, ALLEY" I yelled as I ran to my friends from middle school. "What are you guys doing here?" I asked.

"I'm dating Zayn and Ruby is dating Liam. What are you doing here?" Alley said.

"Oh.. um I met Harry at Starbucks yesterday. But that's great that you guys are dating! I haven't seen you guys in forever!" I explained. They both nod. They are two of the only people who know what happened and why. They know why I'm homeless and why I'm so shy all the time. I hugged each of them. The boys all got up and made their way to the kitchen so they didn't have to listen to our girl talk.

"We totally need to catch up. What's happening between you and Harry? Does he like you? Wait.. Does Niall like you cause he said good morning and just the way he loo-" Ruby said till I slapped my hand over her mouth.

"Ruby the boys are in the other room," I remind her.

"Oh yeah we will talk later," she said winking at me. Giggling we walked into the kitchen.

I walked into the kitchen to see Harry making pancakes and Niall complaining that he was taking to long. Liam, Zayn, and Louis were making small talk at the kitchen table. I sat down at the kitchen table. The girls went and sat on their boyfriends laps. They are so cute.

Niall came over and sat beside me. I didn't say much. Let alone look up into his eyes. He knows I'm shy, they all do, so he really didn't care.

A few minutes later Harry sat a huge pile of pancakes in the middle of the table. He sat down on the opposite side Niall was on. Everyone grabbed some. We started munching on them. I was half way done with my second pancake when a hand was placed on my thigh. I gasped and started chocking on my pancake. Everyone's eyes were on me. I don't like this. So I got up and went to the bathroom to calm down.

A few minutes later Alley walked into the bathroom. "Hey, Brianna are you ok?"

I chuckled nervously and said, "Yeah I'm fine."

"Well what happened? How did you start chocking?" She asked curiously.

"I was just caught off guard. Harry put his hand on my thigh," I explained.

"Ohh that cheeky bastard," Alley laughed.

We both walk back to the kitchen to see everyone just finishing up. I walked behind her. I wish I was as confident as Alley. I'm always shy unless I'm around people I've known forever. I wish I could go back to those days. Everything was simpler. Nobody cared what they looked like and everyone was friends with everyone. Everyone was nice to everyone and everyone was just carefree.

"Brianna," someone said waving their hand in front of my face bringing me back into reality. I looked up and saw those same green eyes that I love staring down at me. I looked down at my feet finding it very interesting. "What were you thinking about? You seemed very deep in thought," Harry said.

"Nothing much, just thinking," I said. I hate telling other people my problems or thoughts. It's like, I can deal with my own problems I don't need your help.

"No, tell me," Harry kept pushing.

"Hey Harry you know she's not going to tell you. She doesn't tell anyone her thoughts or problems. If anyone can get it out of her it's her older brother Jordan, but he moved away," Ruby said.

I stiffened at the mention of my brothers name. We were really close as kids. We were literally connected by the hips. He knew every thought in my head and I knew his. We knew everything you could possibly know about each other.

"Ok, you don't have to tell me I just wanted to know," Harry says.

-

"How about we go watch a movie together? Yeah?" Liam asked with his arm around Ruby's waist. They are so cute together. They are going to get married I just know it. Just by the way Liam looks at Ruby you can tell he truly loves her.

"Brianna what do you think?" Niall asked me.

"What do I think about what? " I ask confused.

"Us watching movies all day long?" Niall asked. I must have missed that part of the conversation. I just nodded. I don't really care what we do.

"Wow we had talkative Brie for about five minutes that's a new record!" Ruby giggled.

"Shut up. I just don't like talking that much is that so bad?" I asked.

"Whoo you said two sentences. That's a record," Niall chuckled along with everyone else.

I just rolled my eyes and focused on the movie. We were watching Hunger Games. We continued watching movies. we ended up watching Catching Fire, Grown-Ups 1 and 2, Iron Man, Avengers, and Toy Story.

We ended up watching movies till midnight and falling asleep in the living room. Alley and Zayn ,were asleep on the recliner. Zayn had his arm protectively around her. Ruby was straddling Liam's lap with her head in the crooks of his neck. Liam's arms were around her waist pulling her closer. Harry had his arm around my waist and I fell asleep with my head on his shoulder.
