Better Safe Than Sorry

Chapter Five: Witnesses of Disaster

I took a deep breath, and Liam pushed the front door to their vacation house where I had heard One Direction would be spending the next month or two.

First off, the interior designer and architect of the house were complete geniuses. The house and the furniture looked absolutely stunning, and took my breath away.

Well, it would have if the house was clean. In this case, it was a total wreck.

I counted three couches in the living room, all clearly moved out of place, and one was turned over, with its back on the ground. I noticed a lamp on the ground, with Niall laying next to it, and Harry knealing behind the couch they were by with a nerf gun in hand. He'd occasionally pull it over the couch to take a few shots with the foam bullets at Paul, whom was dealing with a whole problem of his own- Louis. The broken lamp next to Niall looked like it only had one chip in it, but glass from the lightbulb was shattered everywhere over half of the left side of the room, all over the hardwood floor. Luckily the glass was shattered away from Niall, keeping him out of harm. But he did seem to be clutching his right arm like he was in a little pain.

Louis was on Paul's back, attempting to cover his eyes, yelling and screaming. At first I couldn't pick out what he was saying, over the occasional yelp from Harry when he fired his nerf gun at Paul, and because he was talking so fast, but I quickly picked out the words. "...better give me the keys, Paul!! Now, Paul!! Don't make me bite you!"

I could only laugh and resist the urge to pull out my Blackberry and record them, I didn't do this because I knew they would just want their privacy out here. They were obviously hidden to keep out of the public eye for a chance.

Then my attention snapped back to Niall. He started moaning from the pain that looked like was in his arm. I knit my eyebrows and looked up at Liam, whom just seemed to notice this as well.

My attention was diverted from Liam for a split second when I heard another crash, and watched the last second when Paul fell to the ground, and yelled, "Get off of me Louis! That hurt! For god sakes, you're almost twenty-one! Now act like it!"

I shook my head then watched as Liam stepped into the living room.

I could tell he was about to shout at them to be quiet, but he was quickly interrupted. "Ha! I got them!!" I heard the clanking of keys as Louis shouted. "Haha, Paul! In your face! Now let's go pick up some-"

This time, it was Liam whom interrupted Louis. "Stop! Louis, put the keys down!"

Louis saw us for the first time right then. "LiLi!! You're back!!" He rushed over and almost tackled Liam to the ground with a giant hug. "We missed you so much!" Louis' voice was high pitched than normal when he said that last sentence, like it would occasionally be in interviews when he was being extra immature and funny.

Liam hugged him back for a second before they pulled apart. I could only mentally chuckle at that Lilo moment I just witnessed, then I scolded myself for being a bad directioner by not catching that on tape. If I made that into a gif, it would quickly spread all over twitter and tumblr in a second. I was sure. "I missed you guys too, Louis," Liam said.

Liam the looked over at Niall. Harry still had the nerf shotgun in his hand, the fake weapon ready to be fired. Harry smiled, then shot Liam twice in the chest with the flimsy bullets. Liam just laughed, before his eyes fell on Niall when he groaned again.

"Nial! Are you okay?" he asked frantically.

"Yeah... I think I just sorta sprained my wrist while jumping over the couch..." he mumbled, looking down at his wrist before sitting up.

Liam rushed over and Hazza put the gun down on the couch cushions. Harry pulled Niall up then, and held him in a hug for a moment, while Liam walked over and wrapped his arms around both of them. I heard liam whisper something's but didn't catch what, then an unknown response from Niall, and a soft chuckle from Harry. Again, why didn't I have this on tape?
