Wander: A One Direction Fan Fiction

Chapter 2: The Green Eyes

Liam offered Colette a ride back into Paris since they were both staying at the same hotel.

"Why was Danielle yelling at me in the cemetery?" Colette whispered into Liam's ear when Danielle wasn't paying attention.

"Oh she was just being a protective girlfriend," Liam said offhandedly.

"But why would someone follow you?" Colette asked.

"Because I'm famous," Liam said, looking at Colette with a puzzled face. 

"You're what?!" Colette practically shouted.

"I'm in a band, One Direction. Haven't you heard of it?" Liam asked.

"I never really kept up with pop culter. Samantha didn't believe in it. We didn't have TV or Internet and she homeschooled me so I was pretty much cut off from the outside world," Colette explained. "But I have heard of One Direction," Colette added hastily, not wanting to seem lame, "I just didn't know who the members were."

"Then what did you do for fun?" Liam asked, truly amazed that she didn't rely on the Internet for entertainment. 

"I took pictures." Colette said curtly. "Photography is  my life."

"Well then you have to meet the lads!' Liam said happily. "I think it will be a nice change of pace for them to meet someone who doesn't know who they are."

"Excuse me, sir," the driver said in a very butler-like voice, "But we have arrived."

Colette and Liam soon found they were even staying on the same floor. Weird, Colette thought to herself. Liam bounded down the hall towards his room which was just a couple down from Colette's.

"Danielle and I have our own room," Liam explained. "But Niall and Harry are staying in that room," liam said with a point across the hallway, "And Louis and Zayn are staying in that room," Liam said pointed to the next room over.

"The lads are going to be so happy to meet you!" Liam said like a little kid waking up on Christmas morning. "Since Lou's the messiest, I think it would be better if we went to Harry and Niall's room. But it's not going to be much better," Liam added looking at Colette.

"That's fine," Colette said. "I don't really mind."

"Great!" Liam shouted. He ran to Louis and Zayn's room and banged on the door. "COME OVER TO HARRY AND NIALL'S ROOM!" he shouted at the door. "Come one!" he bubbled as he grabbed Colette's wrist. Danielle followed closely behind. Liam banged on the next door. "LET US IN!" he shouted. Immediately the door opened.

"Liam!" A boy with blonde hair and a bag of crisps in his hand said as he opened the door. "Who's the girl?" he asked, studying Colette.

"Niall, this is Colette. She's my cousin," Liam explained to Niall then turned to Colette. "Colette, this is Niall, one of my band mates. I consider him a brother though."

"Nice to meet you," Colette said shyly smiling in Niall's direction. Niall gave her a warm smile in return, noticing her shyness. 

"Who's there?" a deep voice asked from deeper witih in the room. 

"It's Liam and Dani! And they brought a girl who is appearently his cousin?" Niall said, obviously confused by the situation. 

"I'll explain everything," Liam said, "But let's wait for Zayn and Lou." And right on cue, two boys came bursting out from the beighboring door and rushed over.

Liam explained everything perfectly, luckily for Colette. She was never good at speaking in front of more than two people.

"So they thought everyone in the family was killed but you survived?" the boy called Louis asked Colette. His blue eyes were staring her down, making her nervous. Colette looked down at the floor and took a deep breath. 

"Yes," Colette squeaked. It took so much strength just for her to say that one word in front of these poeple. It didn't help that the boy with green eyes on the edge of the sofa has stared at her the entire time Liam was talking.

"How?" the boy with tattoos, Zayn, asked her.

"I have no idea," Colette practically whispered. "I was barely a year old. Samantha found me alone in the house and took me to England. That's all I know."

"If she doesn't know who we are, why does she seem so nervous?" Niall asked Liam.

"I um...," Colette began to answer. "I'm not good with talking to more than two people really."

"It's okay," Liam said. "We're really nice." He gave her a reassuing smile.

"Yeah, we don't bite," Louis said. "Hard..." He winked at Colette.

"You have a girlfriend Mr. Tomlinson!" Danielle said, laughing at Louis.

"Yes and I love her very much," Louis smiled dreamily.

As the others joined in on the laughter and the teasing, Colette snuck a look over at the green-eyed boy. Colette remembered Liam saying his name was Harry. Colette looked at Harry to find him still staring at her. She caught his eye for a second then quickly looked away.

Harry continued to stare, not caring is she knew or not. She was unlike any girl he's ever seen before. He studied her delicate profile while she looked towards the ground. He golden, wavy hair fell into her face but Harry could still see her rosy red cheeks that were blushing furiously and her long, dark eyelashes that fluttered against he pale skin with each blink.  she looked so delicate and was so quiet but this intrigued Harry. He didn't know what it was but something was pulling him towards this girl he jusst met. Well he hasn't really even met her, Liam just introduced them. They haven't said a word to each other.

Harry was brought out of his thoughts by Niall. "Harry, hey Harry," Niall said, trying to get the younger boy's attention.

"Huh," Harry said, tearing his eyes away from Colette.

"Wanna go golfing later today?" Niall asked hopefully.

"Not today, Niall," Harry said, not really paying attention. He was still trying to look at Colette.

"HARRAH!" Louis shouted, overhearing Harry and Niall's conversation. "You are always up for a round of golf! What's wrong? Are you sick or something?" Harry thought about this for a second. Was something really wrong with him? He couldn't help but to stare at this one girl, just this one girl. And he had girls practically bowing down at his feet. So why this one girl? By the time Harry snapped out of his thoughts, everyone's attention was on him, everyone except Colette. Colette whispered something in Liam's ear, who nodded.

"Colette's not feeling well so I'm going to walk her back to her room. Everyone say goodbye!" Liam said.

There was a chorus of goodbyes as Liam and Colette walked towards the door. Colette gave everyone a samll wave and hurried off to the door. 

As Liam and Colette were walking out, Harry noticed somethingk on Colette's left wrist. He couldn't tell what it was at first but right as she was leaving, she shifted just enough for Harry to get a better look at it. Could that be...? He thought to himself. But he shook his head, knowing that possibility was impossible.

Colette was feeling fine. She just wanted to get out of there, to get away from the boy with green eyes. The way he stared at her was unnerving. His eyes were unnerving. But what Colette thought was even more unnerving was that the eyes seemed familiar when she had never even seen that boy before.
