A New Turn

Chapter 4

Mum was really excited for me but more importantly, herself. She was so happy that she found me a place to stay. Me on the other hand, I needed to take it all in.

I thanked Mum. I tried to act really grateful, but in reality, I really wasn't sure how I felt. I walked into my room. I needed time to think.

I sat for a while. Would Harry actually take me in for a while? Or was he just saying that?

Yeah, Harry was my best friend. I knew he loved me. But ever since he auditioned for the X Factor last year and became a member of One Direction, he wasn't around much. You know cause of the new album and They were planning a tour. Man I needed to talk to him.

I sent him a text.

'Hey Haz, can I skype you?'

He replied back straight away.

'Yeah of course. I'm waiting!'

I grabbed my laptop off my desk and jumped in the pile of pillows on my bed. I logged into Skype to see that Harry was online. I clicked on the green telephone and it started calling. One ring later, he answered and saw his face.

"Hey Caity! How are you?"

"I'm pretty good I guess. But I need to talk to you about something, if that's ok."

"Yeah shoot. Is everything ok?"

I knew what I wanted to say but I didn't know how to say it. I decided to just wing it and hope that what came out made some amount of sense.

"Ok so you know how you were just on the phone with my mum and you said I could stay with you until I found a place?"

He giggled before he spoke.

"Yeah of course I know that! What's the issue? I assumed you would be fine with it."

"Yeah I am but I'm just concerned. Cause you have One Direction and you guys are making it huge at the moment and..."

He cut me off.

"Caitlin, you're not making an awful lot of sense right now. I don't see much of an issue. We won't be around all the time but we do have a spare bedroom. And I know you can take care of yourself."

Hold up. Did he just say 'we'?

"Yeah ok. As long as you are there for a couple weeks, I'll be fine. I really can't thank you enough. But did you just say 'we'?"

"Yeah! I told you I had a roommate! Louis Tomlinson? You know the guy in the band with me? There is only 4 apartments in the building so Louis and I live together. Liam, Zayn and Niall live below us. We have the penthouse!"

So I had to live with another guy. Man, this just got hella awkward.

"Ok so it's fine with you if I stay for a while, but is it fine with Louis? I don't want to just to walk in. I can be annoying at times. You know that."

"Yeah you're not annoying. And trust me, I've already asked him and he said he was fine with it! Hold on! Let me just go grab him!"

Before I could say anything, Harry dropped his laptop on the couch and ran through a door behind him. I suddenly heard some yells from Harry screaming "LOUIS! COME MEET CAITLIN!"

Before I knew it, they both walked back into the room. Harry grabbed the laptop before sitting down and moving over to make room for Louis as he sat down.

I looked at Harry and only Harry. I didn't really want to look at the new guy. Harry knew I got a little nervous around new people.

I hadn't really seen him before. Of course I'd seen photos of the band and I'd watched them on X Factor, but I didn't pay much attention to the others because I was so proud of Harry.

"Caitlin, I'd like you to meet Louis! Louis, meet Caitlin!"

Our eyes finally met.

I may have accidentally dropped my computer on the floor.

The few seconds that we were looking at each other felt like hours. I felt like something out of a movie.

Harry casually excused himself. I imagined Harry planned all this out. Sneaky bastard.
