Just a Moment... (One Direction)

Chapter One

A/N: Hiya all!! So I actually completely re-edited this entire fic and believe me. Thank God I did. So here's the first chapter of the new and improved version of Just A Moment :)

~~*~~

"Ugh, it's so dreary out..." my sister Allie said, looking out the big bay window at the pouring rain. I joined her at the window and looked out across the water.

"Yeah, but there's just a beauty about it, ya know? I kind of love it..." I sat on the window seat with her and looked dreamily at the rain.

She looked at me like I was crazy. "Yeah, Hannah, okay."

I shrugged, hopped up, and began walking to the kitchen to look for food. I was always up for food. "Hey, Allie, do we have any more of those yogurt covered pretzel thingys?" I called while staring blankly at the pantry.

"Uhh, yeah, they're in the oven!" I stopped and popped my head around the corner to make sure she was being serious.

"The oven?" I questioned.

"Yeah, it's the only place Jake won't look!" I heard the exasperation in her voice. Jake was our younger brother, and a total scavenger. I raised my eyebrows in agreement and went back to fetch the Jesus snackies. They were truly sent from heaven.

"Hey, did Jessie say she was coming over today?" Allie called.

"Yeah, I believe she said she'd be here-"

"I'm here!" A voice yelled over the howling wind from outside as our front door flew open to reveal the sopping figure of our next door neighbor and one of my best friends, Jesenia Avecedo. I bolted around the corner and pounced onto her. Since we lived next door to each other, we pretty much ended up living at each other's houses.

"Yay! So now we can do math together!" I released her and smiled sarcastically.

"Yeah, we have that huge test on Monday that we're both just so prepared for!" she smiled equally as sarcastically. "So, yeah, as soon as I dry off a little, we'll just get to it-" she stopped suddenly and sighed in frustration before continuing "-as long as you turn off this music, if you can even call it that!"

I stopped to listen to what was playing on the iHome I had plugged my iPod into. "Ah!" I gasped and put my hand on my chest. "No! This is my favorite song!" I faked horrible offence as she insulted my all-time favorite band: One Direction. "IT'S GOTTA BE YOUUUUUUU!" I indignantly sang in her face. I knew that she didn't like them are barely tolerated my near-obsession with them. We've all been there.

"Please, Hannah, every song is your favorite!" she rolled her eyes.

"Not true!" I deadpanned. "Have you heard Stole My Heart."

"Alright, well let's just get going on this work so that we can have the rest of the weekend to be weird and not worry about it." She plopped her bags down next to our couch and began pulling out her math binder and book.

"Ugh, can't we just eat and watch a liiiiittle TV before we commit to our inevitable demise?" I whined.

"Um, diva much?" she chuckled and tossed her books on the dining room table, which was connected to the living room.

We lived in a small community on the shores of Connecticut. Literally across the street was a little field and then the beach. The part of Connecticut that we lived in was just a fifteen minute drive from New York City, which his where all of our parents work. It was awesome because while we were that close to so much activity and excitement, Kearney was a rather sleepy town. The best of both worlds, right?

"We really shouldn't..." Jessie intoned as I tossed her the Jesus pretzels and flipped on the TV to MTV where there was an interview being shown. The subjects of the interview? One Direction.
