Words Cut Like Knives

Chapter 6

            “Dinner!” I called from the dining room after placing the last serving tray on the table. Ali and I had just finished unpacking our last boxes into our new flat the day before, so we invited everyone over for dinner. I stood back and admired my handy work. Okay, so I didn’t make the dinner, I ordered Nandos. But hey, I did plate it nicely for everyone. That deserves some credit, right?

Of course, Niall got to the table first, hungrily eyeing the chicken. “Thank you for the Nandos, mommy!”  Ever since Daddy Direction and I had gone on our first date three weeks ago, the boys had taken to calling me Mommy.  I grinned as everyone hurried into the dining room, quickly taking a seat and chattering loudly.

“Wow, Becca, did you make this?” Eleanor asked from her seat beside Louis.

“Oh, yeah, totally! You know me- master chef and everything,” I laughed.

“Tastes like Nandos…” Zayn winked at me good-naturedly from the other end of the table.

“She’s just that good,” Liam chuckled.  “Niall, how do you have sauce all over your face?” He asked the blonde boy. “Honestly! You even got it on your forehead!” Niall giggled, still chewing.

            “It’s really good!” Niall explained his mouth full of chicken. Everyone laughed as Ali dutifully took a napkin and wiped the sauce from Niall’s chin, mouth and forehead. “Thank you, princess” he said sweetly, before turning back to his nearly empty plate, which had at one point been piled high with food.

            “I swear, he only loves me because I wipe the food from his face!” Ali joked, pretending to cry on my shoulder. “Who else would do it for him, though? I guess I’ll just have to grin and bear it…” she giggled before promptly beginning to sing ‘As Long As He Needs Me’ from Oliver Twist. Poor Niall was in hysterics at this point.

            “What should we do now?” Harry asked when everyone had finished dinner.

            “IT’S TIME FOR AN ADVENTURE!!” Louis proclaim, standing up from the table, one arm raised as if he was superman, the other grabbing onto Eleanor. He pulled her up from the chair and dragged her, somewhat gently, towards the door. “Catch me if you can!” he giggled before running into the hallway outside of the flat, Eleanor in tow.

            “Well, I guess we’d better go rescue Eleanor,” I laughed as we all ran out after him.

            “Which way did he go?” Harry asked as we came upon and intersecting hallway.

            “Let’s split up! Becca and I will go this way,” Liam grinned and grabbed my hand, turning the corner to the right side of the hallway, leaving Ali, Niall, Zayn, and Harry behind. I heard Louis’s childish cackling and Eleanor’s giggling coming from down the hallway. “I think we’re going the right way,” Liam laughed, “Come on!” I ran down the hallway with him, gasping with silent laughter. We turned down hallway after hallway. I had forgotten how big our complex was.

            “Should we go through here?” I asked, breathless from running when we reached a maintenance stairway.  “I doubt we are allowed to.”

            “Let’s find out!” Liam pushed open the door, and we ran down the stairs, giggling. I looked down the center of the stairway, seeing the nine flights of steps below us. Down about four flights I saw two little brunette heads.

            “Louis!” I shouted down at them. “We found you!!” He looked up and screamed like a little girl.

            “Run, Eleanor! THEY’RE GAINING ON US.” She laughed and they hurriedly made their way down the stairs. Liam and I ran after them, nearly doubled over with laughter. We made it all the way to the bottom floor.

            “Where did they go now?!” Liam asked, chuckling. I pointed to the door in front of us. We burst through the door greeted by a cool burst of air, hand-in-hand and out of breath.

            “Liam!!!” We heard a girl’s voice shriek. “Oh my god, it’s you!” Oh no. It’s a fan. I thought.

And then the first camera flash went off.
