Chapter 5 -- The Boys

*Saturday at Harry and Louis' Flat*

//Lindsay's POV//

As I walked up to the door I couldn't help but regret my decision to come here. Why had I let Harry talk me into meeting the boys? I had no problem hanging out with Haz, but One Direction? As in the wildly popular boy band One Direction. What on earth was I supposed to say to them? But seeing as Harry lived with Louis, it wasn't really possible to avoid meeting at least some of his band mates. It's not that I don't want to meet them, but won't it be awkward since I almost feel like I already know them, and to them I am a complete stranger? Well it was too late now. A few seconds after I knocked on the door a mass of bouncy brown curls greeted me.

"Hey Lindsay, happy you could come," Harry said as he welcomed me inside.

"Thanks for letting me drop-by." As I spoke a puzzled expression clouded his features.

"You're not staying?"

"I really don't want to be in the way..." I trailed off. He gave me a reassuring smile as he said, "You won't be. The guys are excited to meet you."

"Okay then."

Harry led me down the hall and into the basement. We walked into a room and came upon an amusing sight. The lights were off and four extremely fit teenage boys had their terrified eyes focused on a huge flat screen. Judging by what was happening on the screen, and their reactions they must be watching a horror movie. Liam and Niall were sitting on the couch while Zayn and Louis lounged on some chairs. Liam had is arm placed protectively around Niall, who was tightly clutching a pillow. Zayn was trying to look nonchalant, but his fists were balled up. I honestly don't know what Louis was thinking. He was sitting so that his legs dangled off the top of the chair and his head lay on the foot rest. Maybe he preferred watching movies in awkward positions. Strange child. Sometimes it was hard to remember he was the oldest of the bunch.

Suddenly the room was in chaos. The movie had abruptly reached a climax; people's heads were getting ripped off, blood and guts were everywhere, and was that guy seriously eating someone's brain? Niall screamed like a maniac while Liam tried to console him, Zayn jumped like 5 feet, and Louis had managed to not only fall off the chair, but take it down with him so that he was trapped underneath. It was such a ridiculous sight that I had trouble not laughing. Harry rushed over to rescue Louis from the chair and I flipped on the lights. 

"I think that's enough for now," Liam said turning the TV off. 

"Definitely," Niall agreed. His Irish accent was so attractive. After Harry and Louis had put the chair back in place, Harry remembered to introduce me. 

"Hey guys, this is Lindsay," he said gesturing to me. Louis ran over and tackled me, pinning me to the ground. 

"Do you like carrots?" He asked with a very serious look on his face. 

"Uh, ya I love them," I said confused. 

"She's a keeper then," Louis said happily. 

"Yay," I said sarcastically, but with a smile so he would know I was joking. "Can you get off me now?" 

"Sure thing love! By the way I'm Louis, but please call me Boo Bear." And he jumped up and ran away screaming something about finding Kevin. Wow, he's a nutcase but I like him already. 

Next Liam came over to me and helped me up. "He's a bit energetic, but you'll get used to it. I'm Liam." 

"Thanks, and it's a pleasure to meet you." He definitely was the mature one in the group. 

"Hey love, I'm Niall," the blonde Irish boy said as he shook my hand. 

"Hi, nice to meet you," I said smiling. I had always thought Zayn was the shy one, but to my surprise he came right up to me and gave me a big bear hug.
