I'm Coming Home (One Direction Fan Fiction)

~Chapter Three~

"So what did you do today, Emily?" I coo as I take Emily's bag from the backseat and I carry it inside.

"Me and Sarah played outside a lot." She replies, stroking the hair of one of her Barbie dolls.

"Ah, I see! What did you do outside?"

"We played Mummy's and Daddy's. I was you." Emily looks up with her big brown eyes as she stares into mine. As she says that, my heart melts.

"Were you? So you had fun then?" I can't help but break into a smile.

"Yeah." She states before running off to her bedroom as soon as I unlock the door. I bring in mine and her bag and collapse on the couch, exhausted. I pull my stuff out of my bag and fold it neatly before leaving it on the couch. I slip my car keys and phone into my pocket and head to the kitchen where my planned lunch sat, but had never been touched as I'd gone out with Danielle.

I set out the butter for Emily's sandwich before my phone suddenly vibrates. I take it out, being careful not to touch the screen with my greasy fingers. It was a surprise, getting a text- usually only my parents or one of my friends would text me, but for once, it was an unknown number.

'Hi Megan, its Danielle. Liam wanted to know if you were free Saturday night, he has a friend that would be interested in you. He didn't tell me what one. I think it could be Harry. X'

'Hey again, yep I'm free from 6:30 afterwards I suppose that would be alright, so just a blind date? :)'

'Yes, Saturday 7pm. That's good with the both of you he says- Do you want to go to an Italian place?'

'Sounds good- Text me address and I'll be there on Saturday. Thanks Danielle. Xx'

I smiled with the last text, thinking of what I could wear on Saturday night. I didn't usually go on dates, especially blind ones- but for some reason, I trusted Danielle. She had mentioned Harry, so I would look him up on the internet (I was pretty sure he was from One Direction) and I would be okay. It was out of character for me to accept the date. I wasn't usually outgoing enough to- but I was glad I did.

"Mummy, I'm hungry." Emily comes running into the kitchen and perches herself upon the stool in front of me.

"I'm just making you a sandwich, baby." I tap her nose with my index finger before sprinkling hundreds and thousands over the buttered bread. I cut off the crusts and cut it in half before passing it over and heading into the lounge and switching on the TV. I take my phone back out of my pocket before deciding it would be a good idea to look up One Direction before going on this date, or even seeing Liam again- so I go straight to Google and type in 'One Direction'.

Hundreds of Millions of results come up but the first one I click is the Wikipedia article. I spend 10 minutes reading through the whole thing, studying each boy and figuring out which ones were which. I notice Harry is the one with curly hair and from what I've read, he's the youngest out of the band. I also find out a bit about the other boys, and even a bit about Liam. I read that someone had mentioned that he was in a relationship Danielle Peazer, so I assumed the information was correct. I learnt a lot about the boys really, I couldn't understand how I missed One Direction before. They were bigger than huge. They were worldwide.

Just as I go to do further research, my phone buzzes, indicating that I had a new e-mail. I open the banner at the top, and it opens an e-mail from Danielle.

'Courtney and Megan,

For Wednesday, I will be at the studio at 9:30. Meet me there at 10am. I'll be teaching the routine all morning and afternoon, until 3pm. Thursday will be 11am until 2pm. Friday we will be on at 7pm, so get there around 5. It won't be a hard performance due to short notice, and we will be performing to Sexy Back by Justin Timberlake on Friday Night Entertain, That's Sunday Show and Good Morning London. The performances will be on Friday night, Saturday afternoon and Sunday evening.
