It started as an ordinary day... (Connor Ball/ The Vamps fanfic)

Chapter 6 - Meeting the others

Emily's P.O.V

Connor just invited me inside to meet the others and maybe order some dinner too. I agreed and followed him up to his flat. He forgot his key so he just knocked instead. Knock knock.

Within a minute a curly haired boy came to the door. "CON!" He shouted excitedly giving him a bro hug but being careful of his arm. "What happened!?" He asked. "I'll tell you all in a bit can we come in first?" Connor said and laughed. "Oh yeah sure, I'm Brad by the way," the curly haired boy smiled at me and gave me a friendly hug. "Emily," I replied with a smile, he seemed really nice.

We made our way through to what seemed to be the living room with the kitchen just around the corner as it was an open planned room. Considering the fact that four boys live here, it was fairly tidy and clean. We walked in and Brad sat on the couch. "This is Emily guys, I'll explain in a minute," Connor said and a tall blonde boy came and hugged me, "I'm Tristan but you can call me tris," he smiled. Another tall boy with light brown hair and muscly arms gave me a hug too and said "I'm James," and smiled. "Like Connor said, I'm Emily, but you can call me Em, I really don't mind." I said and sat down next to Connor.

Connor explained the whole story starting from entering the shop, up until now. The boys looked quite shocked and guilty for making him go with her to get a top. Con made it clear that it's alright and that they didn't know she'd be like that.

"Oh no!" I exclaimed. "What's wrong?!" Brad asked me as he sat upright from my sudden words. "Does this mean you can't play bass for a week or two?" I said to Connor. "I never thought of that." Connor said pouting. "Aw" we all said as Brad snapped a pic and tweeted it. "Hey Emily, what's your twitter?" Brad asked. "@emilyday" I replied. My phone buzzed from my bag and I checked it to see three notifications.

'Poor Connors hurt his arm and can't play bass for a week or so! Thanks to @emilyday for coming to his rescue and looking after our baby for us!'

I laughed and retweeted and favourited it. I followed all of the boys and their band account. They followed me back too. "I'm HUNGRY!" Tris shouted causing us all to chuckle. "What do we want to order?" James asked. "NANDOS!" Tris shouted again. "Is that okay with you?" James asked, directing the question at me. "Yeah, I'm not too fussy!" I laughed as James started taking our orders and ringing them up asking for a delivery.

Connor got up and put on a film, paranormal activity. Oh no. I'm not too good with scary films. I don't mind watching them but I do get quite scared. I didn't want to seem fussy or annoying so I just decided to go along with it, what's the worst that could happen?

We were about half an hour into the film and It was already getting scary. I was sat between Connor and the end of the sofa. I kept jumping in fright and Connor had his arm around me and pulled me closer to him. For a second I forgot about the film as butterfly's took over my tummy! But then something scary happened and I was back to reality. Connor was whispering reassuring things into my ear every time I got scared and buried my head into his chest. I felt like I had known him forever. We were just so close considering we met that day!

Luckily the doorbell went signalling food was here so we switched the film off. I helped James dish it out so everyone got the right food. "Thanks" he said as we finished and sat down ourselves. We finished eating and just cleaned up. "How much did that cost? Let me grab my purse." I said, wanting to pay them back. "Stop," Connor said and pulled my hand so I sat down again. "You don't have to pay us back, it's all good." Connor said. "No really ," I insisted. "Okay well then I want to give you some 'petrol money' for taking me to the hospital." He said. "No," I replied. "Exactly," he said with a smug look, knowing he'd won.

We sat chatting for ages and it honestly felt like we were the best of friends, I felt safe and happy with them. Not alone like I sometimes am in my own flat. I glanced at the clock and gasped. 11:00pm. "I need to go, I have to drive home." I said in a rush. "You can stay tonight if you like, you can take my room, I'll go on the couch or something?" Connor offered. "I'd love to but I can't. I have to work a half day tomorrow morning," I said sadly. "How about tomorrow afternoon come round again and we can do something? Us and the boys?" Connor asked. "Yeah that sounds great!" I said.

"Here, put your numbers in?" I said handing him phone iPhone. The boys put there number in as I gathered my things up. "I'll walk you to your car." Connor said politely as I said Bye. "Thanks," I replied

"sorry about what happened today but at least now we're all friends," I said as we stood next to my car. "Yeah, drive safe ok," Connor said and hugged me as I got in my car and drove off.

Maybe what happened today was a good thing, I thought.
