Who's One Direction?

Chapter 5: Finally, The Truth Comes Out

I look at him, wondering what was happening inside his head. "Hey," I say smiling, pushing a stray hair behind my ear.

"Hey, where did you guys go?" Louis asks, leaning against the door frame.

"To In-n-Out," I say looking at him, feeling a bit awkward, "Oh, and my friends are coming over, I hope that's ok with you. Niall suggested it."

"Yeah it's fine, oh and Zayn is inside worried sick about you, you better go talk to him," Louis says, looking me in the eyes.

"Oh, ok. Um, I'll talk to you later?" I ask him, smiling at him, as I walk a bit closer, about to pass by him.

I look back for a moment to find Niall no where in sight. I then feel a hand in mine, as I turn back to look at Louis. I gently pull it back smiling, feeling a bit nervous, as I grab the door handle and I say, "Bye."

I head straight for the living room, finding Zayn in there on the couch, fast asleep. Yeah, so worried, I think to my self as I laugh, and Zayn wakes up.

"Mickey! Where did you go?" Zayn asks, standing up, and grabs onto me. He wraps his hands around my waste and pulls me in.

"I just went to get some food with Niall, no big deal," I tell him, realizing how close our faces were to each other. "Zayn, were you really that worried?" I ask him, wondering if he was going to let go.

"Yeah, but I'm glad your safe," Zayn says, puling me in close for a hug.

I hug him back, feeling good, and safe in his arms. I lean my head on his shoulder, then I realize, what if he was cheating on someone, by kissing me, and by being so protective like this.

"Zayn?" I begin, hoping that he would say he was single so it didn't mean that I had been involved in his cheating.

"Yes?" Zayn asks, pulling back, looking me in the eye, looking and sounding seriously worried, and it was all because of me. Oh no.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" I ask him, trying not to sound to hopeful, knowing he would take it the wrong way.

"Ummm," Zayn starts off, pulling back, and running a hand through his dark, sexy, medium length hair. That can not be a good sign.

"What is it? You can tell me," I tell him, eyeing him carefully.

He walks over to Louis' pictures hanging on the wall, and he says, "Well, I was actually engaged, to a girl called Perrie, but she dumped me last week, but not many people know yet, she wanted to keep it hush hush because she knew it would blow out into this big ordeal."

I watch him, wondering why it would be such a huge deal. "What do you mean? Why would it blow out into a big ordeal?"

He looks at me, his eyes going a bit wide, and turns away, muttering to himself, "Shit," and runs his hand through his hair again. That is when Louis walks in, looking over at Zayn and then over at me and says, "What's up with him?"

"His fiancé dumped him," I tell him, watching them carefully.

"What?!" Louis says, looking over at Zayn and says, "When were you planning on telling us this?"

"Not yet, Perrie wants to keep it quiet for a while, she doesn't want too much drama," Zayn says, looking back and forth between me and Louis.

"Well, who broke up with who?" Louis asks him, sounding hurt because of the fact that he wasn't told about it.

"She broke up with him," I butt in, knowing I shouldn't have, but I did anyways, but as soon as I did, I didn't regret it. I know it sounds silly, but I felt like Zayn needed to get this off his chest, and I still didn't understand why he didn't want to tell anyone.

After that was said, I heard the doorbell ring, and it was intense in here, so I volunteered to get the door for Louis. "I'll, uh, I'll get it," I say, heading for the door, right as Niall shows up at the door ahead of me. "Wow, Niall, you seem a bit desperate," I tell him, making it to him, as he turns to look at me, chuckling, and I eye him up and down. "Why so dressed up? Go change into something more casual."

Niall chuckles again and says, "Fine, but I'm not desperate!"

I smile, watching him leave, as I open the door, only to find my two best friends, trying their absolute hardest to keep their cool. "Hey guys, what is your issue? Why are you guys spazzing out so much?"

"We aren't, we are perfectly calm," Kristine tries her hardest to stay calm, but of course I can see through it.

"So this is Louis' house?" Aleah asks, a little calmer then Kristine, but i can still see her excitement. But I wasn't sure why. I mean, Niall, Harry, Louis, Liam, and Zayn, they were all just normal guys, but it has been very strange. I think there is definitely something they aren't telling me.

"Yeah. LOUIS!" I yell out, trying to get his attention, and I turn to find his head peaking in, knowing I got him out of a serious conversation between him and Zayn.

"My friends are here; do you want to come say hi?" I ask him, my eyebrows raise. He smiles at me, and walks in. I turn back to my best friends and look at them, right as I feel Louis' hand wrap around my waist. I watch Aleah and Kristine begin to giggle, probably expecting me to blush, but I'm sure I had let them down.

"Hey girls, I'm Tomlinson, Louis Tomlinson," Louis states in a cool voice. I roll my eyes at his attempt, still annoyed at him for kidnapping me.

Both girls giggle as Kristine's voice gets higher as she says, "We know who you are. I'm Kristine, and this is Aleah."

"Hi," Aleah says, letting it length itself out, and sound weird as she always does.

I laugh at them and wonder what their issue is. "Ok, spill the beans now, what the fuck is going on?"

"Whoa, I've never heard you talk like that before," Louis says, looking down at me.

"Really?" Kristine asks giggling.

"She talks like that all the time in front of us," Aleah says smiling.

"Stop changing the fucking subject! Your pissing me off now," I say, pulling out of Louis' arms, and staring at all three of them, "What the fuck is going on?"

Louis looks at them and says, "Should you tell her, or can I?"

"You can," Kristine says, looking at me, not sure how I would take it.

"Ok, Mickey, remember how I asked you if you liked One Direction, and you said you had no idea what they even looked like, and you had no idea who they are?" Louis starts, looking me in the eye.

"Yeah, what does that have to do with anything?" I ask, wishing he would just get to the point already.

"Ok, well," Louis starts to say, as he gets interrupted by Kristine, freaking out, still outside the door.

"What?" I ask her, getting pissed off now. I look behind me, only to find Niall and I say, "Oh, hey Niall, that outfit suits you a lot better." After that, Harry and Liam walk behind him, following him in, and I roll my eyes at them. I turn back to Louis, Kristine, and Aleah, only to find Zayn there as well, and Aleah and Kristine freaking out. "OK, seriously! What the fuck is going on?"

Louis looks at me and says, "Mickey, we are One Direction."

"What?" I look at them confused, and slightly disgusted, beginning to feel slightly claustrophobic. I start backing up, ramming straight into the wall, bumping my head and falling to the ground.
