Nowhere to Hide: A One Direction Fan Fiction

Chapter Seven: Meeting the Boys

Harry's POV:

Okay, that date was TERRIBLE. I put together a romantic dinner, only to be ruined by paparazzi, we got away from them, went in a dark ally, and some sicko started perving on Becca! Well, she said she was okay with this disaster that was suppose to be a date, she was smiling at the end of the night. I learned at least a couple things about her tonight, like she tries to see the bright side of problems. Wait... I'm still at her doorstep. Oops!

THE NEXT DAY...

Becca's POV:

I woke up the next morning to my cat, Friday, pouncing on my chest. I groaned and set Friday down on the turqouise carpet next to my bed. I got out of bed and checked the time on my alarm clock. It was 10:14 AM and I stood there for a moment, trying to process what happened yesterday. Oh yeah, my crazy date with Harry.

I wnet to the bathroom and did my morning routine; shower, get dressed, make-up, ect. I didn't want to leave my room, since I know I would recieve a black eye or a bruised knee. I guess I'd rather get it over with...

I threw my hair up in a high ponytail and walked downstairs into the kitchen. I found Richard washing dishes, scrubbing a plate rather vigorously. When I walked in, he snapped his head towards me. Friday walked in behind me, standing next to where Richard was. "BECCA! I thought I told you to clean up after your f***ing cat!" he snapped, kicking Friday's ever so fragile body. He landed on the other side of the kitchen with a thud. "B-but he just peed himself," I stammered, looking at the helpless cat. "DON'T TALK BACK TO ME," he yelled, grabbing a pan from the cabinet.

Now I'm going to get it. Nice job, Becca. Richard always found any stupid excuse to hurt me. Whether it be forgetting to take the trash out, or letting a cuss word slip out of my mouth. Sometimes, he doesn't even have a reason, he just- CLINK! I started getting really dizzy. I think Richard hit me with a pan! I collapsed to the ground, my world getting fuzzy, before blackness took over. The last thing I saw was Richard towering over me, with an evil smirk spread across his face.

---

Where am I? I woke up on the cold, hard tile in the kitchen. Why am I on the floor? Then I remembered that I got hit with a pan. I stood up, a little dizzy at first and held on to the countertop to balance out. I didn't hear the sports channel on in the living room, or Richard yelling at the screen. He must've went to the bar.

I still had a pounding headache from that swing he took. I grabbed my phone from my back pocket. It read 11:56 AM. Shit! I had to pull myself together, Harry would be here any minute. I was meeting new people soon, I didn't want to look like someone who came out of a coma.

I rushed over to the medicine cabinet and took out a container of Advil. I pushed down the lid, and twisted it open. I took out two pills, setting them down on the counter. I got a glass from the cabinet and filled it with water, grabbed the pills off the counter, and popped them in my mouth, taking a swig of the cold, fresh water.

DING DONG! Harry's here. I fixed my floral top, and made myself look approachable. I was wearing my black and white converse, white shorts, and a floral top, so I guess I had proper attire. I opened the door and Harry stood there, as a smile crept across his face. "You ready?" he asked, twirling his keys around his finger. "Yup, let's go!" I replied.

We arrived at the boys' flat and we stepped out the car. A sudden feel of nervousness swept over me, and Harry must've noticed this because he said, "It will be fine, the boys are really friendly," and he gave me a reassuring smile. I weakly smiled back, and we headed towards the flat.

Harry slid the key into the doorknob and opened it. "Oi! I had the remote first!" a Bradford accent cried. "TOO BAD! It's mine now!" a british accent chuckled. A vacuum started, drowning out the others' voices. We entered the room and I saw a lad dressed in plaid, vacuuming the bleach white carpet. A tan boy with gelled up hair was reaching for a remote control, as another boy in stripes standing on the couch, held it high above his head. A blond boy came into the room, with a sandwich in hand.

"HEY GUYS!" Harry shouted over all the commotion. All the boys in the room stopped what they were doing, and turned their heads toward us. "This is my friend, Becca," he said, proudly, showing me off. What was there to be proud of? I was just Becca Adams, the girl who just happened to bump into 1/5 of One Direction at a park. There was nothing special about me... "Ohhh, Hazza's got himself a lady friend," Stripes said, wiggling his eyebrows. I felt a slight blush coming on, as he said this.

"Becca, that's my crazy boo bear, Louis," Harry said pointing to Stripes. Louis jumped off the couch and approached me . "Yeah, I'm Louis! Do you like carrots?!" he asked, excitement and amusement gleaming in his pale blue eyes. I smiled warmly at him and said, "Hey, I'm Becca. And yeah, I love carrots, they're chill!"

"That's Zayn," Harry said, pointing to the boy with gelled hair. "Yup, that's me!" Zayn said, confidently. I stifled a laugh and said, "I'm Becca! Nice hair, by the way." He smoothed his hair upwards with a comb he took out of his pocket and dramatically looked off in the distance and said, "The hair's the charm."

"That's Liam," Harry said, pointing to the boy in plaid. "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you," Liam said politely, sticking his hand out to shake. "You too, I'm Becca," I replied, smiling and shaking his hand.

"And finally, that's Niall," Harry concluded, gesturing to the boy with the almost finished sandwich. "Hello, mate! I'm Niall!" Niall said, with a thick irish accent. "Nice, I'm Becca," I replied, flashing him a smile.

"Now that we all know eachother, who's up for some Nando's?!" Harry announced.

"Sure."

"Okay."

"Sweet."

"NANDO'S!!"

I could tell right away, that I would become good friends with these boys.
