⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀How It All Started

Luke Hemmings brushed his right hand lazily on he strings on his guitar, waiting for the rest of the members to arrive at his house (garage) to play a song and then posting it on YouTube.

It was a regular thing. Once a week, they would do a cover. Not being able to do it 3 times a week due to school.

One by one they start to arrive. Ashton Irwin and Calum Hood walked in together. Followed by Michael Clifford. They sat in a semi circle.

Luke sighed, "Looks like Niall's late again."

Calum ran his hand through his hair, "Tell me something I don't know."

5 minutes passed, still no sign of Niall Horan.

"Let's just start without him!" Michael groaned.

As if on cue, Niall barges in.

"You're late-again." Ashton said.

"I'm never late. You guys are just simply early," He replied sassily.

The five bonded last year when their parents volunteered them to work at a charity drive. Whether or not Niall knew about the other four, the four knew about Niall. He was perfect, hot, witty and smart and most importantly, popular. Girls wanted to kiss Niall, and boys-even older ones-wanted to be him.

So the first time Niall laughed at one of Michael's jokes, asked Calum a question about bass guitars, told Ashton his shirt was cool or told Luke that he has really good at playing the guitar, they couldn't help but be . . . dazzled.

Now, more than a year later, on the last day of eighth grade, they weren't just best friends, they were the boys of their school. A lot had happened to make it this way. Every sleepover they had, every field trip, had been a new adventure. It was memorable.

But there were other things they want to forget. And there was one secret they couldn't even bear to talk about. Niall said that secrets were what bonded their five-way best-friendship together for infinity. If that was true, they were going to be friends for life.

"Let's just start this now." Luke setting up the camera.

"And your great, great, great granddaughter; is pretty fine" Luke ended, smiling at the camera. And then stopping the video.

"Yeah!" Michael cheered.

They all cheered except Ashton, who seemed unsure. He was worried.

He figured, what if he's wasting his time on this band? He did want to be a famous singer and drummer, just that he's scared he might get to nowhere with this.

His friends and relatives didn't really support him, they think that he's wasting his time and should pursue for better things. His parents, however, supported him. The band and his family kept him going.

"We'll make it, I just know it." Calum assured, putting his hand on Ashton's shoulder.

Ashton looked unconvinced. "Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure."

Followed by a few beats of silence.

"Do you guys have your stuff for the sleepover?" Michael broke the silence.

They all nodded. "Did you bring Fifa?"

"Of course!" He grinned.

Fifa of course, was their all-time favourite game.

They grabbed all their things and went up to Luke's spare room. Luke doesn't like them going inside his room, reasoning "It's private." None of them had actually went up to Luke's room except Niall, who pressurizes Luke to let him in.

As they reached the room, the boys heard laughter coming from inside. Someone squealed, "Ben I said, stop it!"

"Oh God," Luke moaned. "What is he doing in here?"

As Luke peeked throught the keyhole, he could see Ben, smart and muscular, excellent-at-everything older brother, and Chrissy Maxwell, his hot girlfriend, wrestling on the couch. Luke kicked the door, forcing it open. Ben turned around.

"What the fu-?" he asked. Then he noticed the others and smiled. "Oh, hey guys."

The boys eyed Luke. He constantly complained that Ben was a fucktard, so they were always taken aback when Ben seemed friendly.

Luke bit his lip. "We're supposed to have this place tonight."

"Come on Chrissy, lets get out of here." Ben said putting his hand out.

Chrissy took his hand and they walked pass the boys. As she walk pass Luke, she winked at him flirtatiously.

Luke blushed.

"Alright let's get in!" Niall said impatiently, pushing everyone in.

.

.

"Guys we've been playing Fifa for two hours." Niall groaned. "Come on, I want to show you guys something."

Michael groaned and paused the game hesitantly.

"It's called hypnotizing." He smirked.

Luke bit his lip-not sure about where this was going. Calum blew air through his teeth. Michael and Ashton exchanged looks.

Niall was always coming up with stuff for them to try. This past fall they'd went swimming in a pond where a dead body was once discovered there. But they often didn't want to do the things Niall made them do. They all loved Niall, but they sometimes hate him too.

Sometimes in Niall's presence, they didn't feel real, exactly. It's like Niall is controlling them. Each of them wished that, just once, they had the strength to tell Niall 'No.'

"Alright?" Niall asked.

They nodded.
