Infinity

Chapter 7

I put my money back in my piggy back and put it right on my dresser. I looked around at my room and saw that a lot of things were out of place. I picked up my room quickly before my phone rang.

"Hello?" I answered it, still putting some things away.

Nothing came from the other end, just dead quiet.

"Hello?" I asked again. I pulled the phone away from my ear and looked at the screen. It was a number that I don't know, so I ended the call and put my phone in my pocket. I left my room and mom and I took Val home. 

After we got back home again, we finished baking the cookies and had cookies and milk. Best treat after a long week in St. Louis. I put some cookies on a plate an put a little bit of aluminum foil over it for Val tomorrow.

I went to bed and fell asleep quickly.

____The Next Day____

I got up and got ready for school quickly, waking Sam up like always. He rolled over and squinted at the light coming from the door. He got up so I left him alone. I pulled my hair back while I put on a little bit of make up. After all of the make up I wanted to put on was on, I let my hair out of the pony tail. It fell down and around my face and it couldn't have looked better. I grabbed my bag and headed out the door.

Sam came running out of his room, in a pair of ripped blue jeans and an old t-shirt with a Led Zeplin design on the front and concert dates and times on the back. I laughed as he slid across the floor in his socks and fell. He glared at me as I grabbed my stomach because it hurt I was laughing so hard. He slipped his shoes on and stood up. He came over to me and smacked my arm.

"Stop laughing!" he said. I covered my mouth and he watched as I giggled through my hand. He rolled his eyes before grabbing his bag and going outside to wait for mom. I giggled some more before following him.

Mom pulled up a few minutes later and we got in. She dropped us off at school and we said good bye and went in.

----

I walked home and stopped at the coffee shop on my way. I went in and stood in line behind a guy wearing his hood.

"Really? A hoodie in the middle of spring? It's like 80 degrees outside." I said to him, causing him to turn and look at me. I smiled at him, feeling my cheeks go hot. I couldn't see his eyes because he was wearing sunglasses but his lips and cheeks said he was hot. A small bit of blonde hair peeked out of his hood.

"I know you." he said. There was an accent to his voice, a very familiar accent too.

I stared at him. He knows me, but I don't know him? Who is this guy? 

"Umm, you do?" I asked, shocked, still.

"Yeah. I do. I saw you-"

"Um, sir, can I take your order?" the cashier taking orders said, interupting him. The hooded guy turned and ordered a small decafe and then asked me what I wanted. I ordered a small coffee with extra cream. The hooded guy payed for both of our drinks and then turned to me.

"See you around?" he said before leaving. I stood there staring after him. Who was that guy?

I left the coffee store and walked home, bumping into Cameron on the way.

"Hey Carra. What's up?" he asked me.

"Nothing, just heading home." I told him.

"Cool, I have to babysit for someone. Wish me luck." he said before turning the corner we were on.

"Good luck." I hollared after him.

I walked the rest of the way home in silence, wondering who the guy at the coffee shop was. When I got home, my mom wasn't there, and neither was Sam. They were probably at the store. I went inside and sat down on the couch. I sat there for a minute before getting up and hopping through a shower. When I got out, I realized I forgot to grab clothes. I wrapped a towel around me and headed out to the living room to dig through the clean clothes mom hasn't folded yet. I knelt at one of the baskets and began digging through it.

Then there was a knock on my door.

"Crap." I said under my breath as I stood up and answered it to find the guy from the coffee shop standing there. In my driveway was a convertable with four other hodded guys sitting in it, looking at me. I heard one of them whistle and I blushed.

"Umm, hi." I said, super nervous. The guy standing in front of me looked down at my towel and up at my wet hair before a smile grew on his face.

"Expecting componay?" he asked.

"Actually, no. What are you doing here and how do you even know I live here?" I asked him.

"I followed you, I mean we followed you." he said.

"So why follow me and then sit in my driveway for 20 minutes before knocking?" I asked him.

"I did knock, you didn't answer. I figured you were in the shower or something and then Harry saw-"

"Harry?" I asked, confused. His face changed from the happy that was plastered on his face from the moment he saw me in a towel to total shock, as if he couldn't believe what he just said. I wish I could see his eyes.

"Yeah, my friend. Anyway, he saw movement in the window and told me to come knock." he said.

"Who are you?" I asked him. 

"Can we finish this conversation when it's appropriate?" he asked, pointing to my towel. 

"Umm, yeah. Come in, oh, and tell your friends they can too." I said, turning and heading to my room. I heard the guy hollar at his friends and then the doors to the car open and close. I locked myself in my room and dug through my dresser for clothes. I finally gave up trying to find something and went into the living room to find clothes, choosing to ignore the way the guys watched me.

I finally found a pair of my ripped jean shorts and an old tank top at the bottom of a basket. It was my old tank top that I use to wear all the time. It said 'Hi Loser' in graffiti on the front and it was a nice teal color. I ran back to my room and pulled my clothes on and put my hair in my towel to stop the drip that was still coming off of it. I opened my door and headed out to the living room. There was three of the guys sitting on my couch and the one from the coffee shop was sitting in the recliner next to the couch and the fifth guy was standing at the wall of pictures, looking at them all.

"OK, who are you guys? Cops? FBI?" I asked, earning a few chuckles from the five strangers. The one sitting in the middle of the couch leaned forward and grabbed my One Direction book I had accidentally left on the table with their new album, Midnight Memories, in the CD player with headphones next to it, the case to the CD under the edge of the book. He flipped it open to Louis' page and looked at it, a small smile playing the corner of his lips. The guy sitting next to him grabbed the case to the ablum and flipped it over to see the song list.

"My favorite song is You & I." he says, looking at me.

"Seriously, if you don't tell me who you are, I'm going to have to ask you to leave." I say, getting impatient.

The guy from the coffee shop stood up and came over to me. He looked at me and smiled. I noticed how he was a few inches taller then me and I couldn't help but smile a little.

Then he removed his glasses and his hood. And I gaped at him. The other four followed his actions and took off their hoods and glasses. I gapped at them even more.

"What?" I asked, so shocked, that was all I could say. 

"When I said I knew you, I was talking about the concert." the suddenly familiar guy standing in front of me said. Niall Horan.

And sitting on the couch was Liam, Louis, and Zayn and over by the pictures was Harry.

"How?" I stumbled out.

"We get the summer off and we decided to stay in America. We just got here from Chicago. We were just going to go staright through but I got thirsty and then I ran into you." he said. 

"Wow."

I am so sorry for not being on for a month. I have just been really busy. The end of the school is in a week and the teachers have given us so much homework in the last couple of weeks that I am just to tired after doing it to do anything else. But with summer coming, it means more updates! Yeah!
