Telling Our Story

5: Surprise!

*PAST TENSE*

“Tyler!” I groaned. “Will you please just go back to bed!” We were all currently in the living area. I was being squished by my brother, who was in between Harry and I. Niall was in the recliner munching on a bag a chips. Which, by the way, I had no idea we had! Zayn and Ellie were on the loveseat, Liam and Louis were spread around on the floor, and Harry and I were the only ones on the couch, but then Tyler had to come seat himself right between us.

“Nope.” He replied putting his arm around me, making my head make unwanted contact with his armpit.

“Gross!” I yelled, crunching my nose up in disgust. “Don’t you know what deodorant is?” For some odd reason, everyone thought that was funny except for me.

“Tyler, you know I can keep an eye on her!” El said, in a responsible, ‘You-can-trust-me’ voice.

He scoffed. “Whatever, you can barely take your eyes off of Tattoo over there.” He said, revering to Zayn.

“Tyler!” I said jumping up from the couch. “Stop being such a butthole!” Niall laughed at my choice of words.

“I’m just trying to keep your innocence in tact!” He defended, standing up in front of me.

 I smacked my hands to my face in embarrassment. I could feel my cheeks flaming. “Tyler!” I glared at everybody who was laughing. “Shut up.”

            “Tyler, you’re funny if you think she still has hers.” El said, talking about my ‘innocence’.

            “El!” I squeaked. I avoided looking at Tyler, instead opting for Harry’s face, who raised his eyebrows at me.

            “Who was it?” Tyler growled. “Was it one of these idiots?” He asked, gesturing around the room. He is so annoying. Are all big brothers like this?

            “Tyler, now you’re just getting irritating!” I glared.

            “You didn’t answer me!” He yelled.

            “I don’t have to! Seriously, Tyler, you are not Mom!” I yelled back.

            “No, I am not.  But she’ll be doing the same thing when she finds out!” He said, smugly.

            I crossed my arms. “She already knows dummy.” He just widened his eyes and made a ‘humph’ noise, and sat back down.

            “Anyways.” I said dragging out the vowels.

            “You’re not a very good host.” Louis commented.

            “Well I wasn’t expecting five teenage boys to be coming into my house.” I retorted. Everyone just sat in silence for a couple minutes.

            Tyler was the first to speak up. “You guys are boring.” He said getting up. “I’m going to go hang out with Josh.” He started to walk away, and then stopped and narrowed his eyes at us. “And no one better be pregnant when I get back!” With that he just walked out the door. I mentally wished him good luck with getting through all the fans out there.

            Harry and I were free to get closer to each other now, but he was currently having a silent conversation with the boys. Zayn whispered something in Ell’s ear, and her eyes got wide with either surprise or excitement. I couldn’t tell which.

            *PRESENT TENSE*

            “Wait!” Darcy yelled, loud enough that I’m sure the couple next door could here her.
