Boy Trouble

Chapter 10

"I'm yours, there's no need to complicate, our time is sure, this is our fate, I'm yours..." I sing, in the shower. It's a habit, what can I say? The boys nicely allowed me to use the shower to get all the pie off of me. Thanks a lot Zayn, that little shit.

I shut off the water and wrap myself in a towel. I get dressed in the pajamas I brought. My pants have frogs on them this time, and I've got a joke I'm saving which will blow them away. I can already tell. Considering my hair is a soaking wet mess, I throw it up into a bun and call it okay. I walk down the stairs to the living room where everyone else was.

"Umm, Cara. You do know it's only 6:30 right?" Zayn says, smirking at my choice of outfit. Ha ha, so funny.

"What, a girl can't get comfy? For all you know I could have cramps as bad as a sumo wrestler sitting on your stomach." I say, and have to hold in my laughter at the expressions on their faces. They all drained of color, and they looked scared to be honest. Liam, being the caring person he was, spoke up.

"Oh god, do you uhh.. really have the um, thing because we could try and help in some way..." Liam looked so uncomfortable as he spoke, and he fiddled with his thumb. At that point I gave up holding in my laughter.

"Oh hell no. Thanks though, but you should have seen I your faces! You looked like you had seen a ghost!" I laugh, struggling to even get words out. I watched as they all looked less scared, and as much as they wanted to look upset with me, they were all smiling and that made me feel good.

"Yeah, yeah. Enough of that, alright? Seriously." Niall laughs a bit too as he says that and I nod. They seemed to definitely not enjoy that topic, that's for sure.

"So, what are we doing tonight boys?" I ask, joining them on the large couch. I couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth as I sat in between Louis and Liam. I just felt, I don't know, a random burst of happiness.

"We're not really sure, we just thought we'd hang out and maybe order a pizza. If that's alright?" Harry asks, turning on the TV and surfing through the channels.

"Oh trust me, that's more then fine." I'll let you in on a little secret. I love me some pizza, honestly. I could eat pizza all the time. And yeah, maybe it's not the healthiest choice, but is it one of the most delicious? Hell yeah.

After 20 minutes of fighting over what kind of pizza to get, we decided on two pies. One half plain and half meatball, and the other half plain and half pepperoni. Harry and I fought for the pepperoni we wanted, and weren't backing down, and so we got a second pie just for us to have pepperoni. Boo ya.

The pizza finally came as we decided to start Finding Nemo. This movie is a cinematic masterpiece. By the way, I didn't think of that off the top of my head, they just say it in all of the trailers.

I was scrolling through Twitter when I realized I had barely tweeted anything yet. I thought about what to post, and then came up with an idea I thought was pretty darn cute and creative.

"Haz, come here!" I said, making the spot next to me open. I picked up my slice of pizza and told him to do the same. I took a selfie of the two of us making absolutely ridiculous faces and holding up the pizza. Oh yeah, this is perfect.

I posted it with the caption: "Pepperoni Pals always get their way <3" and watched as it got retweeted. I couldn't help but smile at how many retweets it had gotten in the short time it had been up, and I scrolled through some of the comments. One of them was so cute, I wanted to screenshot it. It said: "Aww, best friend goals all the way!" I immediately followed her, and reminded myself to ask Harry to follow her too.

I responded to a few tweets people had sent me, before I signed off of Twitter for the night with a goodnight tweet and sat back to watch Finding Nemo. God damn this movie is adorable. Eventually, I found myself drifting off, the last thing I heard being Dory speaking whale.

"Umm, Cara? Earth to Cara? Blondie?" I heard someone saying and lightly nudging my shoulder. I awoke to Niall standing above me, and I knew he had just woken me up. How long was I asleep for? I guess the movie ended.

"Hmm? Oh yeah, I'm up." I said, my voice raspy and deeper from sleeping. I look around the room and my eyes nearly bulge out of my head when I see a certain two people standing in the room. Shit.

Luke and Dylan, otherwise known as my two overprotective brothers, are standing right over in the middle of the room. I remember calling them to say they shouldn't come the night of the blizzard, but I actually have no idea why they're here now. And how on earth did they get the boys' address?

"Hey." I say, my voice coming out in nearly a squeak. Why the hell am I so nervous? Maybe it's because my brothers are pretty much the boy police; a.k.a, any boy who comes near me has to pass "their inspection." Stupid, hell yeah, but I love them none the less.

"We plan a trip out here to come see you in your new place, and your hanging out at their place? What did you, meet them on the street? After a show?" Dylan says, clearly angry. Who do they think they are? I'm fine here, the boys are my friends and I don't know why he feels like he has to control who I'm with.

"First of all, I'm 20 so I can make my own fucking decisions. Second of all, how the hell did you even find out I was here?" I ask, annoyance clear in my voice. I don't feel like fighting at the moment, but if I have to, I will.

"Maybe you should check out who follows you on Twitter before you post anything. Plus, you're all over TV. How could we avoid you?" Luke says. I'm all over TV? How am I all over TV? I mean, there was the one interview where I was mentioned but that's it. I mean, of course I've been on the boys' Twitters, but nothing else. Unless they were talking about the pictures the boys have tweeted of us?

"Well, in case you were wondering, I'm fine here. They're all my friends, best friends even. That's what you wanted for me right? To be able to adjust to living in a new place. They've helped me do that." I say, looking at the two of them now. I can't help but wonder how the boys are reacting right now, but I can't let myself take my eyes off my brothers.

"Yeah, but with a bunch of boys you just met? Cara they're celebrities, who knows what they're involved with?" Dylan says. My blood boils at that. Who the fuck does he think he is? Is he trying to say he thinks they're involved in something illegal. Oh mother of god, I'm about to give him a verbal slap.

"Don't you dare say shit about them. They've helped me so much since we met, and even though it was only a few days ago, I already know they're not doing what you think they are. If you have nothing nice to say, get the fuck out." I say. It did hurt a bit to say something like that to my brothers, but it wasn't their right to come in here and bash people I'm saying I'm friends with. I don't do that to the many girls they're friends with, so even if I am friends with a few boys, they shouldn't think they can control me.

"Fine, we'll leave you for now. But we're expecting a call or text or something within a day. We're staying at the hotel a block from your apartment." Luke says. I nod and watch as they walk out, a headache already starting to form. God dammit, I really was not expecting to have to fight with someone tonight, or any night soon for that matter. I had such a good day, I really don't want what happened with them to ruin it. I understand they're looking out for me, but they can't just come in here and start spilling out accusations.

"Somebody looks like they could use some ice cream." Harry says, a smile spread across his face. Within seconds, I can't but feel a surge of instant happiness throughout me. They always know they perfect things to say to make me smile, those cute little shits.

"You know me so well." I smile, laughing a bit. Let the ice cream party begin.
