2 years later - present- 2012

I was done with University and had a job for the local newspaper. I was an intern for the entertainment section. I'm still living at the Tomlinson's and every time Louis visited, I would sleep in the newspaper headquarters.

I felt like I was a burden to my second family but they always reassured me otherwise.

I was about to sleep in my bed when I heard the front door open.

"MUM I'M HOME!" screeched a familiar voice. I shot my eyes open and ran to the door. I was listening to the conversation downstairs.

"Lou what a lovely surprise! And you brought the boys! Would any of you want tea?" I heard Mum ask. Oh my god. Louis was back and he brought the boys? How can I get our of here? I ran to the window and thought about jumping out. When I heard the door open, I already had one leg out of the window. I turned to the door and there stood a boy with a snapback and blonde hair sticking out, wearing a brotank and shorts. He had a confused face on, wondering if he should scream or help me.

"Don't scream. I live her. My name's Jamie." I said as I stuck my hand out. His face tuned from shocked to happy. He smiled and shook my hand.

"Niall. How long have you been living here?" he asked while helping me out of the window.

"About 2 years. I've known Mum and the girls longer though." I said, not even mentioning Louis in that category. Over the 2 years, I've had mixed feeling about Louis transitioning from depressing to rage in a matter of minutes.

"Oh, so you've known, the Tommo for a long time?" He asked. I nodded keeping my comments to myself. "Do you want to meet the others?" I kept thinking about it for a minute. I shook my head. His smile turned into a frown. "Why not?"

"It's a long story." I said while sitting down on my bed. Niall sat down next to me. I looked down.

"I've got time." I laughed at his humor. He grinned and I told him about Louis, how he was my best friend and how we stopped communication excluding the beatings. I would eventually tell him later, hopefully. While I was talking, he would nod and put some of his comments when needed. I felt relieved I could tell him this.

"So, you have no problem making friends with the others, just don't want to talk to Lou? Niall said and I nodded. "Well, I'll make Lou shut up, unless you want to talk to him, then you can come and meet the boys, deal?" and stuck his hand out. I nodded and shook his hand. "Okay, stay here. When I call you, or get you, come downstairs to the living room." he left and I ran to the door, putting my ear close to the door.

I heard Niall walk down the stairs.

"What took you so long leprechaun?" I heard someone say.

"I needed the toilet. Lou for tonight or until I tell you, you need to keep your mouth shut and don't talk to anyone else besides us, your family and management okay?" Niall said.

"Uh, let me think about that... NO!" Louis screamed.

"If you don't I will eat all your carrots and duct tape your leg hair and rip it off!" Niall replied.

"Woah. Okay I promise. Just don't eat my babies!" said Louis. Carrots? But you hate carrots ever since you threw up while eating them! Louis has changed, a lot.

I heard Niall run up the stairs and knock on the door. I opened it and he took my hand and led me to the living room. Before we entered, I took a huge breath and Niall noticed and smiled at me. I smiled back and walked into the room.

I felt 4 pairs of eyes looking at me. The first one I saw had black hair formed into a quiff, brown eyes and had a "Thank you, F*** you" t-shirt on. Next to him was a boy with brown hair, also formed into a quiff also with chocolate brown eyes, a white and red shirt and jeans. On the floor was a boy with green eyes, curly hair, a Ramones shirt and jeans. And on the love seat, I was dreading the most. The familiar blue and green eyes, the brown hair in a side quiff, while wearing a blue striped shirt, braces (suspenders), and black jeans. I tried my best to ignore his shocked face.

"Hello! I'm Liam." said the boy with the "Troy Bolton" get up and stuck his hand out. I shook it and smiled. "That's Zayn," he points to the boy with the black-haired quiff, who stood up and hugged me. I hugged back and he went back to his seat. "That's-"

"Hello beautiful. My name is Harry." said the one with curly hair and hugged me.

"Uh, hi?" I replied back. I looked back at Niall and he smiled, reassuring me. Louis stoop up and walked towards me when Harry let go. I walked closer to Niall and he wrapped his arm around me.

"Louis. Sit down. Remember you promised." Niall growled at him. Louis looked at Niall and looked back at me and went back to his seat, glaring at Niall and then at me. Why did Louis glare at me? I should be the one glaring at him. But am I? NO. Because I am the bigger person. Niall sat on the floor while I sat between Niall and Harry.

"So, you never told us your name, babe." stated Harry looking at me with his cheeky grin.

"I'm sorry. My name is Jamie, Jamie Feest." I replied, acting like James Bond, which failed.

"How long are you staying here fir?" asked Zayn from the couch.

I turned towards him, "Actually I have no idea. I've been here for 2 years now and when I have enough money, I'll repay Mum back and get my own flat."

"So, you're telling me whenever we visited Jay, you were here?" I nodded. "Why didn't we see you?" asked Zayn.

"I would sleep in my work and it was coincidence that it was the day you all came." It wasn't a coincidence.

"I guess so." said Harry. Louis got up from his seat and angrily stormed to the kitchen.

"So, what is your work?" asked Niall trying to ignore Louis tantrum.

"I'm an intern for the local newspaper. I'm in charge of the entertainment section." In response, I got 4 'awws'.

In the kitchen I could hear yelling. I stood up and walked to the door frame and listened, I felt someone hold on to my shoulder. I turned around and found Niall staring a me with a smile. I smiled, turned back, and listened.
