Louis' POV
I woke up to the loud voices below me. The rest of the boys must be up. I run downstairs and grab myself some breakfast. I grab some of the blueberry pancakes, Gabriele made yesterday. She's a really good chef. Speaking of Gabriele where's Harry?
"Guys, where's Haz?" I ask putting the pancakes in the microwave. "I dunno mate, probably still asleep, ya know how he is," Liam says, "and he came back with us when we came back last night from the girls house." "Yea, you're right, I'll go check on him," I say as I run up the stairs leaving my pancakes idle in the microwave. I reach Harry's door and knock just in case he's changing or something. There was no response so I open the door slightly. I didn't see a curly hair boy under the duvet and I didn't hear water running. Where can he be?
I run back downstairs, almost tripping and falling to my death. Imagine how tragic that would be. I reached the living room and saw everyone sitting there, except for Harry, more concerned of what they were eating than the fact that Harry's missing. "So you guys aren't worried that Harry's missing," I ask, grabbing my pancakes from the microwave before they got too cold. "Mate, chill, we know where he is," Zayn says looking up from his phone. "Where is he then?" I ask, a tad bit too sarcastic than I wanted to come out. "Just look," Zayn says shoving his phone in my face.
He was on twitter and there on twitter was a picture of Harry with sharpie all over his face with the caption, "Guess I should've woken up a little bit earlier, yeah? (Hacking mwhahaha) Xx". "Well now that that's settled," I say rolling my eyes and digging into my breakfast.
By the time we all finished eating and getting dressed it was 9. We had all decided to meet at the girls house at quarter past, so we made our way over. We practically ran over to the house and knocked on the door. "Oh, hey guys, everyones ready except for Haz and Zulie," Gabriele says as she opens the door for us to come in. If you didn't know her, you could guess that she was a skater chick by the way she dressed. She had a crop top but it was a tie up red flannel on, ripped skinny jeans, converse and a bow in her hair that was skater-ish. "It's normal, don't sweat it," Niall says, finding Kris playing on her phone and sat next to her.
"ZULIEKA RENEÉ HURRY THE BLOODY HELL UP, YOU'VE BEEN IN THERE FOR TWO HOURS. I NEED TO DO MY MAKEUP!" You can hear El scream at Zulie. "Kay El- just let me- and here you go the loo is all yours," She says walking out and kissing Zayn as soon as she sets eyes on him. Zayn's eyes nearly popped out of his head, she was practically teasing him. She was wearing a tank top that has the spits on the sides of her body and cutoff shorts.
Gabriele's POV
I sat in my room, with my laptop trying to contact my parents with Soph sitting next to me. The skype call went through and my mum popped up on the screen. "Hey mum," I said wriggling my eyebrows at her. "Hello Gabby, and whose this?" my mum asks, looking over to where Soph is on the screen. "Mum, this is Sophia Smith, Liam Payne from One Direction's girlfriend," I say allowing Sophia to introduce herself. "Hello, Mrs. Thomas." "Please I'm only 34, call me Noelle," wow mum just give out your age like it's nothing. Soph, My mum and I talk about things for a while like boys, tattoos that I've always wanted, what we plan to do and so on.
My dad pops up on the screen hugging my mum from behind. "Daddy!" I scream, sounding way younger than I actually am. "Hey Gabster and you're Sophia right?" "Yes nice to meet you-" "Ryder," my dad says cutting off Soph. In the middle of embarrassing conversation about me when I was younger someone walks into my room. As I pay no attention to who it is, as I'm caught up in denying everything my dad is saying, the person rests their head on my flannel clad shoulder.
The familiar curls brush my cheek and I finally realize that it's Harry. "Hey, look who finally decided to get ready," I say turning my head slightly to look somewhat at Harry. "I would have been done sooner if five girls didn't draw on my face with Sharpie," Harry says looking up at the laptop screen. Sophia and I look at eachother, knowing very well that we were the ones who innitiated the plan. "We said we were sorry Harry," Sophia and I say at the same time. "Harry, I know how you feel, my wife did that to me right before I had to go to an interview, so if I didn't know any better, my daughter was the one who did this to you," my dad says surprisingly getting along with Harry. "What can I say I learn from the best," I say as I shrug my shoulders. The three of us talk to my parents for fifteen more minutes before we sign off and go downstairs.
We all split into Harry's and Kris' car heading off to the old recreational center where Kris, Zulieka and I first met. We were all pretty shy kids and the center made us become friends through the skate program. We became more open with the others as well which was awesome, in my opinion. We reach the destination and I stand there for a second, this place is exactly the same way we left it two years ago. The same white siding and the same grey shutters and shingles. Harry placed his cool hand on my back snapping me out of my trance. "Are you ok? You looked like you were stuck in a trance there Gabriele," he says rubbing light circles into the small of my back. "Yea, Yeah I'm fine. It's just nothing changed, they kept it the same. It's like they knew we were coming back," I say looking over to Harry. "I'm sorry what," he asks clearly confused. "Why are we hereeeeeee," Niall asks dragging out the here. "We're here silly because we want to share this place with you. This is where we first met and learned more about ourselves. And we wanted you guys to experience it too," Zulie says.
Kris runs over to one of blockades in front of a parking spot and motions for everyone to come over. "Whose Catching Up with Nightmares?" Zayn asks, catching glimpse of the artwork. "It was our old band name, we started when we were 13 years old. Our logo was a teenage emo-ish girl who sat on her bed with nightmare monsters fathered around her. We decided that because we all had our own monsters and wanted to incorporate something we all had in common. When we were too old to stay two years ago, we painted this, or scratch more like I painted this, to always be remembered by," I say looking up at the sky. "You guys sang?" Sophia asks, nearly shocked. "Still do," Kris says, standing back up next to Niall.
We all walk inside and say hi to everybody we knew. Most of the girls were shocked that One Direction was here. Trust me I would be too. We walk to the old stage and find Drew, the guy who got us into a band in the first place. "Well, well, well, look who it is? I it isn't Catching Up with Nightmares," Drew says stopping his class, walking over towards us and smiling. Everyone in the program shoots their head up at the sound of our name. We're rockstars here, practically One Direction worthy.
"Hey and if it isn't Drew, who still is trying to keep up with today's style," Zulie says pointing to Drew's flannel shirt over a rock tshirt and skinny jeans. "Well I try, and who are these lovely people," Drew asks motioning to One Direction, El and Soph. Kris introduces them and they say hello to Drew. "Hey girls if you wouldn't mind, can you play a couple covers for us," Drew asks. The three of us look at eachother hesitantly but then decide that we should.
Kris gets behind the drum set, Zulie behind the guitar with a mic behind me and I'm up front with an electric guitar and microphone. Zulie and I start the opening chords of Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe. I begin to sing and the kids in the chairs look excited, what they didn't know was that we were known for incorporating songs together.
Kris sings "All the other boys try to chase me..."
Then I start playing the chords to ATL's Somewhere In Neverland.
We all begin singing
"Tell me how you feel
Over and Done with
Like a nap with no compass
to guide at the bar
drinking way too much as we sing along
to Forever Young,"
We end after another mash up of One Direction's Half A Heart and John Legend's All of Me. Halfway through the mashups I realize that not only is Hart recording but everyone is, even Drew. After the second mashup we hop off stage and say goodbye to Drew.
"Wow, never knew our girlfriends could sing, let alone mash up songs like that," Zayn says entwining his hand with Zulie's. We all walk out to the cars and head to the mall.
