The boys and I joined our energy to create a bonfire that would burn until we told it to stop and it wouldn't catch anything else on fire or anything. Technically it is a metaphorical bonfire because it created heat and light but it didn't exist in the first dimension. There were enough trees close enough that we could all lean on except Perrie leant on Zayn and Helena on Harry. Louis and Kimmy sat on trees that were very close.

"Ok, I want to propose an idea," I started "I think that we should all try and get to know each other a little better." Everyone nodded at my proposal.

"Ok then, I'm from Ireland. That is how I am starting off, someone has to say something now." No one said anything for a couple of seconds but soon people started to speak up.

"We are from Cheshire but I was born in New Zealand." Helena said. "My Dad got a job and we moved to Australia but then we moved to England after my Mum got offered a better job." Harry looked down at her and whispered 'really?' quietly, she laughed softly and nodded at him. Helena didn't like talking about her past, she believed that the past was in the past.

"I had a sister called Gemma, she was four years older then me." Harry said.

"I was a virgin before I met Perrie." Everyone looked shocked while Zayn didn't look embarrassed at all. Perrie giggled and leaned up to kiss him. Helena smiled at the sight. The time came for Louis and Kimmy to say something about themselves. Louis went first.

"Technically, I have no siblings. Only half-sisters." Louis looked at Kimmy and nodded. Kimmy put her head on
Louis' shoulder and he wrapped his arm around her. I know everyone tries to limit PDA for my benefit but it still hurt.

Kimmy sighed, "I have a condition called Verbal Dysdecorum."

"What's that?" Helena asked.

"It is a condition that causes me to say everything I'm thinking or the thing that comes straight to my mind. Many friend-ships have died at the hands of Verbal Dysdecorum."

Silence coated the group for a deadly minute. I look into the canopy of trees and I could see small holes that showed the sky with sparkly stars speckled over them.

"When I was a kid I used to wish that I could go to the moon but now I just wish that I could see the stars." I said.

"Someday I'll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far

Behind me.

Where troubles melt like lemon drops

Away above the chimney tops

That's where you'll find me." Perrie sang.

I recognised that song, 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow'. I used to sing that song every time someone would mention a rainbow.

"Wow, Perrie I didn't know you could sing!" Helena said.

"You've been living with them for a hundred years and you never knew she could sing?" Kimmy asked rhetorically.

"Well, I'm sorry but its not like she sings all the time. Not like Harry does." As soon as she said that she covered her mouth. She looked behind her at the smiling face of Harry. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." She said. Harry just laughed and shook his head.

"Ok, is there anyone else that can sing here?" Kimmy asked. I put my hand up straight away because I was a singer. I looked around and Harry and Perrie already had their hands up. Louis and Zayn slowly started putting their hands up too.
