Payne In My Butt

Meeting The Boys

Kass’ POV

I woke up slowly but didn’t open my eyes. My head was pounding. I opened my eyes slowly and the first thing I saw was Alex putting stuff on a bookshelf. This wasn’t her bedroom, why was she unloading those boxes? I looked down when I noticed that my clothes were really baggy. I was wearing a t-shirt and boxers. Suddenly it came back to me what happened. Alex had picked me up from my house with Liam Payne and Harry Styles.

“Alex?” She turned to look at me and smiled. She put the book that she was holding on the shelf and then sat on the bed next to me. What a pretty lavender and sky blue bed set.

“How’re you feeling?” She asked softly, she probably knew that my head hurt.

“Whose clothes are these?” I could start to feel a pulse in my head.

“They’re Liam’s.” My eyes widened.

“Oh my God, Alex please tell me that this is a joke. I am wearing my One Direction underwear. That is so embarrassing, why would you let him change me? My body is probably a bunch of different colors from how cold it is. My hair is all knotted from getting wet.” She just stared at me with her eyebrows raised. “Well are you going to say something?!”

“I changed you stupid.” I glared at her.

“Why the hell didn’t you say something? You just let me sit here and ramble like an idiot.” She shrugged her shoulders. “So which boy is your brother?” I finally managed to say after I calmed down.

“Liam is. I’m a Payne I guess.”

“Yeah a pain in my butt.” We both started laughing.

“Your clothes are in my bathroom if you want to change. Dinner starts in 20 minutes.” She got up and started unpacking her boxes again. The door opened and Liam was in her doorway.

“Hey Alex, is everything okay?”

“Yeah, everything’s fine.” She folded up the empty box and put it in a pile with all of the other folded up boxes. I got off of her bed and stood up. It was probably the fact that I hit my head but I got really dizzy and almost fell over. Liam held my arm and put his other hand on my back, holding me up. It took every ounce of my power not to start hyperventilating.

“You okay?” His face was right next to mine.

“Yeah I’m fine, I’ve just been asleep for a while.” I smiled and he stood me upright.

“Can you bring some pain meds and water Liam?” It was like Alex had read my mind.

“Of course.” He let go of me slowly and left the room, leaving the door open.

“Have you met the other boys yet?” I walked over to the bathroom and leaned against the doorway.

“Yes and no. I met Niall and Zayn. Louis is out.” She was hanging clothes in her closet.

“So how do you like all of them?”

“They’re nice.” She shrugged her shoulders.

“You’re not thrilled to be here are you?”

“I’m glad to be out of my house. Liam is trying to be a good big brother. I like that someone actually cares about me.” She smiled and for the first time it months, she looked truly happy. “Well that someone other than you cares about me.” She turned back around and continued to put clothes in her closet. Liam came back into the room and held his closed fist out to me. I held out my hand and he dropped some pain killers into it. He handed me a cup of water and I took the pills. I put the cup of water on the dresser and Liam grabbed all the empty boxes.

“Let me know if you guys need anything else.” He smiled at me and then he was gone again.

“I’m going to go changed now.” I closed the bathroom door. My best friend’s older brother was Liam Payne and I was in the One Direction house. How unreal was life right now?

Alex’s POV

I sat on my bed and put my shoes on. Kass came out of the bathroom and sat down next to me.

“Can I curl your hair?” I should have seen that coming. Kass loved doing my hair and makeup. I was like her life sized barbie doll.

“No, my hair looks nice today on its own.” She had used my straightener to do her own hair. Someone knocked on my doorway and we both looked. Liam was standing there with Louis. “Hi.” I said quietly.

“This is my sister Alex.” Liam pointed to me. “And that’s her best friend Kass.” He pointed to Kass. “And this is Louis.”

“Hi.” Kass and I said at the same time.

“We’re all meeting in the kitchen for dinner.” Liam walked away from my room but Louis stayed.

“Her hair really does look nice today.” He told Kass before walking away. Kass got up and looked down the hall and then nearly attacked me.

“Louis Tomlinson said that your hair looks nice today.” She was practically yelling and was tapping my arm violently.

“Can you stop?” I pushed her and she landed back on my pillows.

“You’re blushing.” She kicked me softly and I looked down, my hair shielding my face.

“Let’s just go down to dinner.” I stood up quickly and walked out of my room. Kas followed me and I walked down the stairs. I was about to turn the corner to go into the kitchen but I heard something hit the floor behind me. I closed my eyes and then turned around, opening them. Liam was behind me to see what had happened. He walked over to Kass and kneeled next to her. She had her eyes squeezed closed and was holding her head.

“Are you okay babe?” His voice was quiet. I could barely hear him.

“I-I, um, I.” Her cheeks were bright red. She closed her mouth and her lips went into a line. She just nodded her head.

“Okay.” He smiled. “Good, I wouldn’t want you hurting that pretty little head of yours.” She looked like she was trying not to freak out.

“Is everything okay?” Louis was behind me and he touched my elbow softly.

“I think so.” I turned and he was standing closer to me than I thought. We just stood there, staring at each other.

“You have really pretty eyes.” Half of his mouth pulled up into a smile.

“Thanks.” I walked past him, into the kitchen. Zayn was putting stuff in a big bowl to make a salad. “Do you need help with anything?” I tapped on the counter with my hands.

“Well you can stop doing that.” I stopped tapping my hands and walked over to the table. I stood there kind of awkwardly, not sure of where to sit.

“You can sit next to me Alex.” Harry pulled out the chair next to him. Louis, Liam, and Kass were walking into the kitchen. I gave Harry an appreciative smile and sat next to him.

“Thanks.”

“Since you don’t listen to One Direction, what do you do in your spare time?” Harry leaned on the table and stared at me.

“I play the violin and I try to play guitar sometimes but it’s not as easy to learn as I thought it would be.” Louis sat on the other side of me and Kass sat in between Niall and Liam.

“I can teach you if you want.” Harry smiled at me and Louis cleared his throat behind me.

“Okay, that would be nice.” Zayn put the food on the table and Harry sat back.

“Did you want to do something this weekend Alex?” I looked over at Liam.

“Just relax and get used to the house. I have some homework that I need to get done anyway.”

“I’ll come pick you up on Monday morning.” Kass smiled at me from across the table. I nodded and looked down at my plate. This was really my new life.
