*Anna’s POV*
All the boy’s turned and looked at me clearly asking me how I want to get to know them. “How—How about we go to someone’s house and ask each other questions?” I asked them and looked around the table to get some sort of reaction from someone.
“Sure! That’s a perfect idea!” Calum practically screamed in my ear.
“But, who’s house?” asked Michael.
“We can go to mine!” Niall practically leapt out of his seat as he shouted out to the table.
“That’s fine by me” I replied.
A chorus of “yeah” and “sure” chorused around the table.
So, we were going to Niall’s house. Niall, the one I met at the store. Niall, the one I ran away from. Niall, the one that made me feel weird inside, something foreign to me. It was weird, but I couldn’t help but feel nervous with the whole situation. I’m probably overreacting, but I get this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach every time I meet his beautiful, blue eyes. Wait—did I just say his eyes were beautiful? No. They’re just blue. Just blue.

Our food came shortly after we ordered and we were done and out the door soon after. We were now sitting in Niall’s living room in a circle. I was next to Ashton and Niall. Niall seemed a little jittery as he stared down at his phone, obviously thinking of something. I wonder what could be one his mind.
“So, what do you guys want to know?” I asked as I stared out at the group of boys looking intently back at me.
“Do you have a boyfriend?” Liam asked me. That question caught me by surprise 1) because it was the first question they asked me and 2) that’s kind of personal, if it were me I’d keep that question and ask it after I met the person a little more.
“Um—No.” I awkwardly replied back. I swear I saw Niall quirk a smile, but it quickly faded.
“How many boyfriends have you had?” Harry asked me. This question took me completely by surprise and I don’t know if I wanted to answer or not. All the boys looked at me intently, all but Niall, he just looked down at the floor, not catching anyone’s eyes.
“Um…Um…I…I’ve…Um…never had a…Um…boyfriend” I looked down at the ground as I hesitantly and awkwardly said that sentence.
“How have you never had a boyfriend?” Niall was quick to ask the question when I finished talking.
“I mean…I’m not the most popular person at my school…no guy has ever been that interested in me.”
“I highly doubt that.” Niall scoffed as his eyes met mine.
“Yeah…okay…anyway I do have one question for you.” I turned my attention to Niall. “You weren’t lying when you said you were fine after I fell on top of you right?”
“Ha-ha yeah no it didn’t hurt, you’re pretty light.” Niall chuckled as he answered my question. “But, in reply to that. Why did you run?”
I wasn’t expecting that. Um…do I tell him the truth? “I—I was pretty disheveled with the whole ‘finding out I have a brother and I’m being forced to go on tour with him’” I lied. I couldn’t tell him I ran because those blue, beautiful eyes made me feel something that I just wasn’t comfortable with.
“Wait—you didn’t know you had a brother?! How old are you?” Zayn practically screamed and jumped out of crisscrossed position on the floor.
“Yeah…I don’t talk to my dad and I’m 17.” I replied.
“Wait—Calum’s 17. You never knew? Calum did you?” Zayn asked.
“Um. No it was pretty sudden, my dad calling me up and telling me he was sending my sister to go on tour with us.”
“That’s so messed up” Zayn sounded as if he still couldn’t wrap his head around the fact that we never knew anything about each other.
“yeah—it is” I replied with a sad tone.
The boys asked me a bunch of more questions that I happily answered, but I soon felt my eyes slowly closing. This whole time difference was really taking a toll on me. I was slowly drifting away, but it was getting uncomfortable seeing as I was sitting on the floor, my neck kept falling, making my head jerk back up. But, Niall seemed to notice as he slowly grabbed me by the shoulders and laid me down so my head was on his lap. I didn’t protest, I simply fell into a beautiful slumber.
