5SOS - BABYSAT BY IDIOTS

Chapter 39

I was in my room drawing waiting for One Direction to come. I couldn't wait. All of a sudden, I heard a knock on the door. Seconds later, I heard the chatter I multiple boys and then a door slam. A door slam that made me flinch. It sounded exactly like the one Carson had made in the library. I got scared. Ever since the Carson thing, I guess I just haven't been wanting to meet new men and I just noticed that now. "Nicole, come down here, please!" Calum yelled from downstairs. But I was too scared. No, not this again. I thought it was over. But I had to do it. If I went through that much pain, I can go through anything. I stood up and went downstairs and saw all 8 boys staring at me. Louis said, "Wow," and they all applauded. I smiled as I went down the stairs. Every one of them walked up to me and hugged me one at a time. "Honestly, you are an inspiration and we are so glad to be here with you right now," Louis said. They all agreed. I replied, "Thank you." Then, we all went onto the couch and talked. It was a nice talk and we all got to share some laughs and get to know each other. All of a sudden, I heard a crash. It came from the TV. Somebody had crashed into a pile of stuff... just like Carson. I flinched but nobody saw. I was feeling really uncomfortable. Nobody noticed how I was feeling. I said that I was just going to go get something from my room but I wasn't really. I went up to my room and sat on my bed. The memories of Carson trying to touch me came back.

"There's a first for everything."

"You'll get to know how I kiss and I'll get to know how you kiss."

"We've just begun."

I wanted it to stop. I thought it would end but it didn't. Then came the water works. I sobbed and sobbed. I heard somebody's footsteps down the hall. I can't let them see me this way. I quickly wiped my tears and went over to my drawer pretending to grab something. Then in my doorway appeared Harry. "Hey, Nicole, you good?" He asked. I looked at him and said, "Yeah, I'm fine."

Harry: I thought I heard some noises while I was in the kitchen. It sounded like you.

Nicole: Oh, well it was probably the TV in the living room.

Harry: Are you alright? Your face is a little red.

Nicole: Yeah, I'm alright.

Harry: What are you grabbing?

Nicole: My... iPod.

Harry: Cool. Well, once you grab it, come downstairs.

Nicole: Okay.

Then Harry left. I was relieved. I then noticed my iPod was in my pocket. I walked back downstairs feeling a bit better as I sat on one of the couches. I sat beside Niall. I could smell his cologne... which was the same one Carson used. What the heck?! I think I'm being paranoid. What am I going to do? I took a deep breath as I tried to get my mind off the topic. All the other boys were talking to each other and Niall started talking to me.

Niall: So how old are you again?

Nicole: 12.

Niall: Wow, you sure are a very intelligent, brave, beautiful girl.

Nicole: Thank you. That means so much.

Niall: No problem.

Soon enough, they all had to leave. Liam said, "Well, its been really great meeting you, Nicole and I hope we can get in touch again sometime." I replied, "Me too." Then they said goodbye and left.
