They Don't Know About Us

Up All Night - Chapter 2

I lay anxiously on my One Direction duvet, looking at my posters whilst twisting my phone in my hands. Eventually, I pluck up the courage to type 'Hey Niall, it's Paige xx' and send the message, thinking whether I should've added the two kisses at the end or not. Almost instantly, he texts back "Hey Paige, i'm happy you messaged me. Still up for our date?xx' I smile, thankful that he put kisses back. 'I sure am. What did you have in mind?xx' As soon as I sent the message I knew what he was going to say. 'How about a movie, then Nandos? ;) xx' I giggle to myself, I was right. 'Sounds like fun :) When?xx' Suddenly, I hear numorous pairs of feet tredding up the stairs rapidly. I hope that Niall texts back before they reach my room. 'This Saturday? 7:30pm? I'll pick you up. xx' 'Great! I'll see you then and I live at 20 wellwood road xx' 'You will and okay thanks, can't wait xx' I put my phone face down on my bedside table just in time before Shelby, Chloe and Becky come rushing into my small room. "Hey guys! What ae you all doing here?" I ask curiously. They all laugh "Like you don't know!" Becky says, looking abit hyperactive. I raise one eyebrow in confusion, before tucking my hair behind my ears. "We know about you and Niall!" All three of them say excitedly. I look at them in complete shock. "Wha- how?" I ask, hoping that some fans or worse the papparazzi hadn't somehow found out and it was all over twitter for the whole world to see. "The boys told us!" Chloe said with the biggest grin on her face. She carries on knowing i have no idea what they're talking about. "Okay so,.." She starts before taking a massive jump onto my bed. "Harry gave me his number, Louis gave Shelby his and Zayn gave Becky his number! We're all going on a date with them. Me and Harry on friday. You and Niall on saturday evening. Shelby and Louis on Saturday morning and Becky and Zayn on sunday!" She says extremely quickly. I look at them before screaming "Oh my god!" I shout and jump all over them, hugging them repeatedly. "We're....we're all going on dates with a member of One Direction, the biggest boy band in the world...our obsessions since 2010! Can you believe this is happening to us!" I shout before grabbing my pillow and slamming it into their chests. This makes me even more ecstatic about my date with Niall than I was ten minutes ago. We stay up all night, dancing around my room to One Direction songs. After my mum yelling at us for making a lot of noise, we finally decide to collapse into a deep slumber. I don't know about their dreams but mine was filled with thoughts of mine and Nialls date. And then I dream of me telling my parents. My eyes fly open immediately. I've got to tell my mum....and dad.

I slowly weave round my friends who are still out cold on my bedroom floor, open the door carefully and shut it behind me. I stand outside my door for a few short minutes before heading downstairs where i know my parents are going to be. They're going to be happy for me aren't they? I mean, it's not like Nialls a stranger..well not to me anyway. I shake the horrible thoughts out of my half unconscious head and walk into the living room. My parents are wrapped up together on the leather couch. After eighteen years of being together, after a few fights, they're still deeply in love with eachother. I hope that one day, I can find love like that. Maybe even with Niall. "Mum. Dad." I say slowly, Their heads turn to face me. "Oh hey Pops, you're up early, where are your friends?" My Dad asks, using my nickname he's called me for as long as I can remember. "They're all still asleep, yesturday was very...exciting! Anyways, I have something to tell you." I say with a smile across my face before taking a seat on the other couch. "Okay darling, what is it?" My mum asks me curiously. My place my hands under my thighs to try and stop them from shaking, to be honest it doesnt really help. "I....I...I'm going on a date on saturday." I say slowly and quietly hoping they didn't hear me. They did. "How lovely...who with? Do we know him?" My mum asks. My Dad however, has that look on his face which he always has whenever I bring up a new boyfriend or anything to do with boys. I laugh to myself protective fathers...gotta love them. "Well...you do 'know' him but you don't as well. Do you know what i mean?" They both look at me worriedly. "We have no idea Paige. Just tell us." I take a deep breath. "Niall." I mumble quickly. "Niall? Hey, isn't that the name of that boy you like from One Direction?" My mum replies quickly, looking at me happily. "That's him. Niall Horan...i'm going on a date with him." My parents start to laugh. "Paige! Have you been reading those fan fictions again!" "Mum! I'm serious! When we went to the meet and great he gave me his number..want proof?" I shout before holding up my texts shared between me and him. They both read slowly and lay shocked on the sofa. "Oh my god! Our daughter is going on a date with Niall Horan!" she squeels. "No mum! Shhhhh, you can't tell anyone! If you do then the press could find out and Niall said they can't find out! They'd follow me everywhere and make my life very difficult to lead so please i'm trusting you two!" I say seriously before locking my phone and shoving it in my pocket. They both quieten down. "Okay love, but can we tell Shannon!" She asks hopefully. Shannon's my sister who moved to America to pursue her acting career. As far as i know she's doing very well for herself. "I'm not sure yet, just don't say anything to anyone." I say before hugging them both and returning to my room. My phones vibrates in my pocket. I slide it out of my pocket and read 'Morning Beautiful!xx' I smile to myself 'Morning my handsome Leprichaun xx' I walk into my room and see that all of them are now awake and their eyes are peeled to their phone screens. "Have you heard?" Shelby says excitedly, as if she's been up for hours. "Heard what?" I ask confused, with a smile plastered on my face. Suddenly my phone vibrates. Niall. 'Me and the boys were thinking, we have a day off today and we'd love to see you all again. What do you think about coming paintballing with us today? Liams bringing Danielle?xxxx' I smile and look at Chloe "We have to go!" She says ecstatically. I laugh and begin to type 'It's a date xxxx' 'Awesome, can't wait to see you! Paul said he's pick you all up at your place in 2 hours xxxx Oh by the way, don't wear anything expensive ;) xxxx' I laugh at his text and then stop suddenly and stand up quickly "We have two hours to get ready!" I scream. They all jump up "Let's go then!" Shelby and Becky shout before we all run towards the bathroom.
