Life Flipped Upside-Down {ONHOLD}

Chapter 3

~Simons POV~

"Boys would you keep it down over there!?" I yell. I swear those bloody boys will be the end of me yet. At least I'm not Paul. I chuckle to myself, apparently I chuckled a bit too loudly.

"Uncle Simon," says Louis coming over to where I'm sitting in the middle of the plane "what's so funny?" he asks. Well great here comes the rest of them.

"Whats so funny?" Harry echoes Louis coming to a stop right behind my chair.

"Nothing boys... Now can you all shut up so I can make an important phone call?" I demand kinda more than asked. I can tell they here the strictness in my voice because they all go to sit down with Zayn mumbling about 'no fun'.

I search through my moblie for the number, the number I had almost forgotten about till my secretary told me the awful news. I find it under S's for my sister, who moved to America almost 17 years ago with her boyfriend and baby. I hit her number and hope that theres voicemail so I wouldnt have to most Lilly hear crying on the other end. But on the second ring, an out of breath girl answered the phone. I explained what happened to her parents as gently as I could. There was sniffling on the other end, but her voice only quivered a little. "Oh god that poor brave girl" I thought to myself as she hung up the phone.

When I looked up from the mobile Liam was staring at me his expression giving off sympathy and worry at the same time. I stared back at him, and he opened up his mouth and told the boys to come over to me.

Zayn was one of the first to come over "Vas happinin?" he asked uncertainly. I just put my head in my hands. Louis and Harry came over arguing about carrots or some other ridiculous thing but stopped when they saw me.

"NIALL!!" shouted Liam. Niall came running out of the snack compartment with his cheeks bulging with food. He finished swallowing and came and sat next to the rest of them.

"Vas happenin Uncle Simon?" using the nickname the boys gave me back when they were on the X-Factor. Everyone turned to me waiting for me to explain.

"Well.." I begin not entirely sure how to tell the boys. "I have a niece" I Say when I'm interrupted my Harry.

"A NIECE?!?" he shouts excitedly. He start bombarding me with questions, "How old is she? Do we get to meet her? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME BEFORE?!?"

"Shut up you big knucklehead and let Uncle Simon talk" Louis says whacking him upside the head. Harry just mumbles angrily.

"No one interrupt me again until I have finished" I state hoping that the boys would shut up. "My niece.. Her parents were in a car crash yesterday..." Liam gasps and Harry mouthes O.

"So what's that got to d-" Louis whacks Zayns head.

"Because" I begin "I apparently have custody of her and she's coming to live in England" I stop talking because I have no clue where she is going to stay. I'm barely at home. One of the boys clear their throats breaking me from my thoughts. "Boys I have an idea but it's crazy..."

"Well what is it? Spit it out!" Niall says.

"Can she live with you all? I'm never at home and..."

"Of course Uncle Simon she can stay with us" Liam says calmly.

"Are you sure?" I ask. The boys look at each other then turned to me and chorused a "Yes". Was it just me or did Harry and Louis have an evil glint in their eyes?

Just then the speaker came on telling us we were about to land in Washington. The plane landed and the boys grabbed their stuff and ran outside excitedly. When I heard a very girly scream. I rushed to the doer and find five soaking wet boys pushing themselves back up the stairs and back into the plane.  

"Oh" I begin, a smile breaking out on my face. "Did I mention that it's raining in 35 degree weather?" the boys just look at me frowning jumping up and down trying to regain some warmth back into their bodies. "You might want to put these on" I say holding out five raincoats.

"That would've been helpful BEFORE we got off the plane" Zayn says scowling.

~ONE HOUR LATER~

"Are we there yet?" Louis groans from the back of the van.

"Almost.." I mumble. Those boys were getting on my every living nerve.

"WHOA!!!" Liam shouts. "What's that fat thing?!?"

"It's called a cow Liam" he says "You know where hamburgers come from"

"IM EATING THAT?!?" Liam all but screams in terror. All the boys including myself burst out lauging. "Not funny" he mumbles.

We finally pull into the driveway of what looked to be an old ranch house. Before I stopped the van Louis and Harry were jumping out.

"HOLD IT!" I yell and Harry falls over Louis who was already out. "Boys please be quiet and don't ask too many questions... She lost her parents" I explain as we all file out of the van. I turn to Liam. Liam if anyone says anything that might upset Cate, I give you permission to whack them in the head or something."

"Whoa Cate?" Niall asks.

"I'm assuming it's his niece, Nialler" Louis says staring at the rundown house. We all go the front and knock on the door. We see a light come on upstairs and the thump of a half-asleep person coming down the stairs.

Finally the door opens.
