Could you call this fate? A One Direction Fan Fiction

Chapter 8: Home made chili

Yasmeen’s P.O.V

“Come on guys! Hurry up!” I yelled. Were all going down to the lake to hang out and swim. Emma lived right on the Lake, well she lived one house away from the lake but her neighbors let her family use the dock whenever.

“Were coming, were coming!” Megan yelled as she walked out the front door with everyone in swimsuits behind her. Including Zayn. Wow. That boy is fit! He walked over to me and smiled. I smiled back

“I thought you didn’t like the water?” I questioned

“I don’t but I do like to tan” He winked and I giggled. We all walked down to the water. There was a little sliver of beach but it wasn’t much so we all put our stuff on the dock. Liam who was pouting because Emma couldn’t come, was now engrossed in his phone. Emma had practice, hot yoga, and then some class so she wasn’t going to be with us till later tonight.

“Ugh! Why couldn’t Emma have come?” He whinnied

“Oh come on dude, you know that she is trying to make junior nationals” Harry said smacking him on the head

“Oww”

“Cannon ball!” Niall scream as he leapt off the dock into the water. Megan giggled and jumped in after him. I wonder how long it would take till they were a couple. I rolled my eyes and laid out my towel next to Zayn’s pulled out a magazine and started to tan my back.

“Watcha reading?” Zayn asked a couple of minutes later

“Oh just some celebrity gossip, that’s all”

“You know if you want to go and swim you can, you don’t have to stay here with me”

“Who said that this had anything to do with you?” I giggled, good comeback. I looked into Zayn’s eyes and he looked into mine, he started to lean forward. Was this it? Is he going to kiss me?

“HEY GUYS!” Louis screamed shaking his body like a wet dog getting Zayn and I wet. Great timing Lou. Just then his phone went off and he dashed towards it

“Hello? Oh hey babe!” He waked off the dock and started to walk around the grassy area. It must have been Eleanor. Aw cute!

By the time we had finished swimming and everyone was warn out it was 6:00 in the afternoon. How did it get so late? We all decided that it was time to head up to the house because if we didn’t get Niall food soon he would explode. As we walked up back to the house we all smelled something really good, but no one had cooked so we were very confused.

Emma’s P.O.V.

I hope they would be here soon. I had gotten out of the class early so I decided to surprise everyone by making chili for dinner. It was a family recipe my mom had taught me. I had set up a bond fire out front with some chairs and outdoor couch’s around that so we could eat and talk while sitting around the fire.

“HEY!!!! WERE HOOOMMMEEE!!!!” Louis screamed giving me a heart attack

“Louis! You scared me to death!!!” I yelled back

“EMMA!!!” He ran in to the kitchen giving me a big hug

“I missed you!!!”

“Haha thanks Lou but I can’t breathe!”

“Oh sorry!” he let go as the others came in

“Hey Emma!”

“Hey guys, how was the lake?”

“Okay, would have been better if you were there” Harry said winking, what a flirt. In the corner of my eye I saw Liam give Harry a death glare, what is that all about? What ever, I shrugged it off and got out bowls, spoons, and 1 fork. After everyone was served I grabbed the lighter and we all walked out to the patio. Everyone grabbed their spot while I lit the fire. Zayn and Yasmeen on one couch, Niall and Megan on another, and Sarah, Kelci, Louis, and Harry all sat in individual chairs. Liam was on the last couch with a spot open for me.

“Ow!” I screamed bringing my arm close to my body

“What’s wrong?!?” Liam practically flew out of his chair running over to me. I giggled

“I just burned myself, I’m fine”

“Let me see” said Daddy Direction

“Ow! Don’t touch it!”

“Go inside and rinse some cold water over it, the boys and I will finish lighting the fire”

“Ugh! Fine!” I stomped into the house. The pain went away as I rinsed my hand under the cold water. Then something on my wrist caught my eye. The scars, they would forever be there, reminding me everyday of what I had done. It was awful just having them there mocking me. I stood there with my hand under the tap staring at the scars on my wrist. I sighed

“Is everything okay?” Niall asked walking into the kitchen interrupting my thoughts

“Um yeah, I’ll be out in a minute”

“Okay sounds good” And he walked back outside. I ran down to my room to grab a jacket when I saw my guitar.  I loved to play the guitar and sing, I wasn’t very good but I loved it. I grabbed my guitar and ran upstairs forgetting my jacket. Oh well.

“She’s back!” Harry yelled as I walked through the door to outside. I giggled

“And she comes bearing gifts!” Niall said, clearly taking an interest in my guitar

“Here, you play, I need to eat anyway” I handed him the guitar and sat down next to Liam

“How’s the burn?” He whispered to me

“Can’t even feel it” I smiled up at him. As it started to get dark outside the temperature started to drop. I shivered, I really wish I hadn’t forgotten my jacket.

“Here” Liam said taking off his jumper

“No, no, no, its okay”

“Come on I want to”

“Fine” I said giving in “But won’t you get cold?”

“Na, I got the fire to keep me warm”

“Thank you” I said blushing

“Emma! You should play something!” Louis shouted

“No—I’m good thanks”

“Come on Emma!” Niall said passing me the guitar

“Fine” I grabbed the guitar “What should I play?”

“Anything” they all responded. A smile formed on my face, I began to strum Lego House by Ed Sheeran (If you haven’t heard this song GO LISTEN TO IT) It was silent as I played my guitar and hummed the lyrics. We all just stared at the fire. I loved this, it was so peaceful and calming. When I finished the song everyone clapped which made me blush even more. After a couple of minutes of silence Sarah spoke up

“Emma, are you going to the dance on Friday?”

“Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that”

“Well are you going?” Kelci asked

“Yeah! Come on! You can get it on with some hot guys!!!” Right when she said that I felt Liam stiffen. I looked at him

“Only if the boys can come too!”

“Yay! PARTYYYY” Louis screamed running over to me and wrapping me in a hug, and pretty soon it turned into a group hug. Gosh I love these boys.
