Meant to Be... l.h.

"Oh! Sky can I see your phone?" Calum asks me. I hand him the device. We are now sitting in the food court of the mall eating into Chick-Fil-A. After a few moments Calum hands me back my phone and I realize he put everyone's numbers in my phone. I thank him and finish my food. We throw away our trash and continue walking around the mall. I have to say. I do love shopping. A few years ago, my anxiety was so bad I couldn't even go to a crowded place like the mall. We went into many stores and got a lot of unnecessary things like even more clothes. We were just walking out of Hot Topic when I bunch of girls came running up to us. I knew they were fans of 5SOS which made me a bit calmer, however I could still feel the raging anxiety attack sneaking up in me. I focused on my heavy breathing and loud heart beat as the boys took pictures with the teens. After a few minutes, they were done and the boys looked at me with wide eyes.

"You okay Skylar?"

"Shit Skylar I'm sorry!" Ashton says pulling me into a hug. He was always able to tell when an attack was coming and always knew how to help me.
"Are you Okay?" He asks me. I nod my head proud of myself for not having a panic attack. We continue to walk around a little bit before heading back to the apartment building. On the car ride home, the topic of Pizza Night came up.

"Hey, since it's Skylar's first pizza night we should make it extra fun!" Ashton says with his goofy smile.

"What exactly is Pizza night?" I ask looking for specific details.

"Every Friday we go to one of our apartments and order a ton of pizza. We have our friends come over and we just have a good time. It's like a slumber party." Michael explains. I nod in understanding.

"Cool. Where is it tonight?"

"Tonight it's at Calum's. We take turns." Ashton explains. The rest of the car ride we talked about random things and before I know it we are all back at our individual apartments. I was laying in my bed for about 2 hours before Ashton walks through.

"What's up?" I ask.

"Pizza night is starting in half an hour. Just go to Calum's when you're  ready."

"Okie dokie." Once Ashton's gone I get up from bed and change into a pair of sweatpants and a sports bra. Before walking over to Calum's. The door was unlocked so I walked in. I was greeted by Calum and another man with long brown hair sitting at the counter.

"Oh, Hey Sky! This is Harry. Harry this is Skylar." Calum says pointing at me and the man who I now know as Harry. I flash a smile and wave as I walk over to join them.

"I've heard a lot about you Skylar." Harry says. He has an accent. I raise an eyebrow.

"All good things I hope." I say crossing my arms as a grin appears on my face. He smiles.

"For the most part." We both laugh. I like this dude. Calum didn't like that.

"Hey Hey Hey. Back off Styles, she's my best friend not yours." He says wrapping his arms around me. I pull away from his embrace.

"Actually, I'm Ashton's best friend. I met you yesterday." I say matter of factly.

"Well I For one already know we are going to be great friends." Harry says raising his hand up for me to high five. I do and we hear the door open revealing Luke and another blond boy. I could barely tell them apart.

"Hey guys, oh Skylar, Nial. Nial, Skylar." Luke says quickly join us at the table.

"Nice to meet you." Nial says with a sweet smile.

"You too." I say rather quietly. About ten minutes later, everyone was here and I was also introduced to Liam and Louis. The pizza arrived shortly and I could see Michael's eyes light up at the sight of the two feet tall stack of pizzas. How much pizza do these boys eat?!

Three hours later

ALOT. Thise boys eat ALOT of pizza. Especially Michael. We all sat in the living room watching some random movie. Some of us were sitting on the floor and the rest on the couch. I was sitting in between Ashton's legs on the floor. I looked at my phone for the time to see a hundred missed text messages. I knew it was a bad idea giving one direction my phone number. Eventually I let sleep overcome me and my eyelids closed.
