Nacho Average One Direction Story

Brothers

LIZZ MAYBERRY POV

     I laughed as Macey said something clever to Liam, making him frown playfully. The eight of us were gathered in Harry's apartment's living room.

     "I'm bored," Louis sighed as he absentmindedly flicked a leaf of a potted plant. Suddenly all four other boys ganged up on the plant and started hitting it too.

     "That was terrifying," I laughed as they all went back to their spots like everything was normal and nothing out of the ordinary had happened.

     "We have your back, Lou," Zayn promised. "If any other house plants start harassing you, you know who to call," he said seriously as he motioned to the boys with his hands like it wasn't obvious who to call. He conspicuously mouthed "Us," to Lou as well, causing him to roll his eyes and the rest of us to laugh. But he still hadn't said anything to me and I still didn't know why.

     "If we don't actually do something, I'm going to start crying," Niall whined.

     "I kind of want to see him cry,"Harry whispered to me and I tried to stifle my laugh, creating an inhuman noise instead. Weird looks were given to me. I returned them for an in-store purchase of equal or lesser value.

     "How 'bout a game?" Liam suggested.

     "What a novel idea!" Eleanor imitated and it just looked and sounded and felt so British I burst into fits of laughter.

     "The man, the legend: Liam Payne," I said once I recovered.

     "Which one?" Macey asked as she leaned her head on Liam's shoulder, yawned, and began picking at her cuticles.

     "Never have I ever!" Harry shouted.

     I smirked. I was the ultimate champion of this game. We got out ten Skittles for each person because Harry didn't have any alcohol and the girls didn't want any anyway.

     "Never have I ever been drunk enough to not remember what happened the previous night," Liam started. Macey, El, Lou, Zayn and Niall ate a Skittle. I held my hands out for a high five the boys on either side of me.

     "Never have I ever been good at playing an instrument," Macey stated. I liked her.

     "Does triangle count?" Harry asked me. I nodded. He ate a Skittle.

     "Never have I ever been able to sing," Eleanor grinned and I cheered as everyone else ate the candy.

     "Never have I ever peed in public and gotten photographed," Louis said as he stared at Harry. He hung his head in shame as he ate.

     "Never have I ever been in a relationship," I said with a smirk and everyone else ate another Skittle. I chuckled darkly before fake crying and resting my head on Harry's shoulder.

     "Never have I ever kissed a boy," Harry said and Macey, Eleanor, and Louis ate a Skittle. I grinned. I still had ten left.

     "I was really, REALLY hammered," Louis explained when we gave him odd looks. El giggled, making the rest of us laugh too.

     "Never have I ever been in the Olympics," Niall said while looking straight at me and raising an eyebrow. Liam and I ate a Skittle after we assured him he counted.

     Zayn glared at me and then looked away. This wasn't going to end well. "Never have I ever," he started off loudly and sighing, looking around before suddenly locking his gaze on me, "lied about the biggest part of my past."

     Nobody said anything. I couldn't breathe. I stood up abruptly at stared at him fiercely but I didn't see any hint of remorse. I did an 180 degree turn and fast-walked into Harry's bedroom that I was sharing with him. El and Macey came after me, as I expected they would.
