Living With These Five

Sibling Time

After a few more weeks of traveling around the UK with the lads and endless phone calls to my brother and sister. Paul decided that it would be alright if I went to stay with them at my parents’ house, only because they were away. 

After Louis met my Tom and April, he introduced them to everyone else. While that was going on I thought it would be best to inform Paul as to why I left England in the first place and what had happened today. Not that my battles with my farther needed to be fought by someone else it was more of the case he tried to do anything else, someone outside of the five of us needed to know. Paul was someone I trusted the most and he didn't have an emotional connection like the lads had with me - he was just someone who looked after me from time to time, not a friend like the others. 

Tom came and picked me up after one of the shows and we drove to the 'family' house. Not that it really was to me. We spent most of the time catching up on everything that has happened. Truth be hold it was nice to get away from the lads and being with my siblings. Sometimes the lads can be a bit full on or I spend my day sat doing nothing while they set up or record. 

I can't wait to help April move into her new house. We've planned all this week to go shopping for furniture and everything else she needs. Being the planner that my sister is she has drawn out plans of each room and wrote out lists of everything she needs for each room. Some are things I would have forgot to get. 

I do keep getting texts from the lads to make sure I’m alright but they still don't know what has happened. I think they think that I have left them because I didn't really say goodbye or explain where I was going. I had left before their show was finished. But hey-hoe I go back in a week, they can't miss me that much. 

"Hey! NUT HEAD!" Tom shouted breaking me out of my daydream, by calling me by the nickname he called me since I was 5. 

"Haven't heard that in years" 

"Well, I’ll just keep calling you nut head to make up for it"

"Cheers"

"What you day dreaming about?"

"Nothing, I was just thinking" 

"Nothing is ever nothing" 

"Then what is nothing" 

"Nothing" he said laughing, "So Nutty, are you coming to Ikea with us?" 

"Yeah!" I said jumping of the window sill where I had been sat. 

"Come on then" He said leaving the room. 

Putting my shoes on as fast as I could I raced down stairs pushing past Tom, yelling "SHOT GUN?" 

"Not if I beat you there" Tom said racing behind me, effort ally catching me up and reaching the passage seat first. 

"Thanks for opening the door for me" I said quickly sitting down. 

"No fair!" 

"You can sit there on the way back" April said laughing. 

"Yes!"

"What we getting from Ikea?" I asked as my sister drove, while Tom sang to Adele in the back. 

"Whatever we can off the lists. So I would say grab a trolley each" 

"Really that much?" 

"Yep!" 

"We are going to be there all day" I said looking at the time, it was 8:30am and the shop didn't open till 9. I know it was a 20 minute drive but why did we have to be there so early. 

"Hopefully not!" Tom said joining in the conversation. 

"If I can get most of the stuff today then we will only have to go out once more this week and we can do other stuff the rest of it" 

"I don't mind! There's a Home Sense and Next home by it as well" I said trying to remember what else was around where we were going. 

"Defiantly Hot dogs for lunch!" Tom added.

"Yeah!" We both agreed.

Five hours later we had three full trolleys, and nearly 70% of April’s list ticked off. I had also managed to buy some candles to take home with me because you can never have enough. At one point I thought we were going to get kicked out because while April was picking out while style bed side table she liked in the warehouse before the tills, me and Tom decided that we would race up and down the aisle. Some of the staff were laughing at us but the security guards didn't think it was very funny and were watching us. Until April told us off like we were little children. 

"Just like old times hey!" Tom said as we got back into the car.

"Do you remember the once when we came and pretended that the kids rooms were our own and we played there for hours until mum came to get us. We then tried to knock and arch in between our rooms so that we could have a room like it." 

"We got into so much trouble over that" April added.

"That was before the arguing started" Tom added.

"The good old days"

HEY! 

I thought I would upload today as this is a really short filler chapter so that you had something to read before the weekend. 

Hope it's alright, I just thought that it would show you how close the siblings are. 

Hope you enjoyed it!
