Drag Him Down

Chapter two

^ this is how i picture the boys in the story right now, obviously Harry turns into long hair harry but that'll be mentioned.

he looks towards me for reassurance and i nod towards the door and smile so he opens the door and walks in, me trailing behind him nervously.

In support of Niall i've listened to all of their albums, watched the movie ( i couldn't make it to the premiere) and seen a few interviews so i know who is who.

The living room is decorated with all white furniture with blue and green accents scattered around. There are two chairs, one big chair that could fit two people, and a long couch. Harry and Zayn are sitting on the separate chairs, and Louis and Liam are seated on the couch on separate ends.

"hey guys! this is Carolyn!" Niall exclaims awkwardly pushing me in front of him so everyone can see me properly.

" hi " i say feeling my cheeks so red. Harry immediately gets up to shake my hand and zayn louis and Liam follow suit and form a little line in that order.

"ello i'm Harry" he says smiling and his longish brown curls and beautiful green eyes jump out at me immediately.

" hello Harry. Carolyn" i say returning the smile.

" hey. i'm Zayn" Zayn says smiling brightly. i'm a loss of words. Zayn Malik was hand crafted by the gods. they took their time with one that's sure.

" hi Zayn i'm Carolyn" i say shaking his hand smiling slightly lopsided.

"Louis" is all louis says blankly. he must be tired so i smile and introduce myself kindly noticing his bright blue eyes lacking their normal humor and delight down a more full of their normal pretty color.

Next up is Liam and when our eyes met something inside me sparks off and we just stare at each other with our hands clasped together.

suddenly i think of jared and remove my eyes and nervously laugh while i say my name. all he does is whisper his name and goes back to sit on the couch. blushing??

me and Niall sit down on the two setter and harry says, " so this is the famous Carolyn we've heard so many things about for the past 3ish years!" he exclaims smiling and i blush

" only good things right?" i ask looking at Niall comically.

"well there's one thing" Harry says holding back laughter

" oh shit what's that" i say with a laugh but i'm actually nervous as f-

" you used to obsessed with Harry potter in secondary school? like your whole room dedicated to it and you watched a movie like everyday" he says laughing Louis joins in laughing a little over exaggerated if you ask me. Niall looks at me nervously and Liam gives Harry a hard stare as if his words personally effected him.

" Niall!" i squeal and i hit his arm playfully while laughing along with them because well, i was pretty obsessed! i find it funny now but if he would've said something like that a few years ago i probably would've killed him and Niall. Seeing that i'm ok with it Liam and Niall join in as well.

" your one to talk Ni, did you tell them that during holidays in what? 8th year? he locked himself in his room for three days straight when his football team didn't make it to playoffs " i say in between laughs.

this sets of the boys even more and it's Niall's turn to blush and hide his head in his hands. we spend the next few hours getting to know each other and trade funny stories.

" i should go Ni " i say yawning as it is already 11:30 and i have work tomorrow.

" aw come on it's still early and aren't you guys off for summer yet?" Niall asks tugging my shirt lightly as i stand.

" actually the we are getting off for summer break tomorrow!" i say excitingly.

" are you a teacher?" asks Zayn.

" yeah i am"

" what year do you teach?" Liam asks not meeting my eyes.

" a mix of them, i'm a special ed teacher" i clarify.

" that's amazing! you guys are so great for doing what you do!" gushes Harry. he's got dimples i think god i playing a secret game today, which boy will make you chest first? green eyes? blue eyes? Liam? or greek god?

i snap myself out of it and smile at the thought of my kids- they are all so unique and smart and are truly amazing. my students have helped me push through my anxiety and i wouldn't be where i am today without them.

" thank you" i say returning Harry's kind smile.

" what sort of students do you normally get?" asks Zayn.

i spend the next half hour answering questions about my job and going into more detail. eventually i do get up and say i have to leave for real. i wave goodbye to everyone and Niall's walks me to my car.

"thank you for doing this" he says hugging me

" it was great, they are all" mostly i add in my head " so nice!" i finish getting into my car. i type my address into google maps and start to head home when Niall knocks on my window.

" can we go to dinner tomorrow?" He asks me.

" ok text me the address of where you want to go!" i say smiling putting a lock of my hair behind my ear.

"ok! and then after maybe you can come and hang out for a little while, i know we just saw each other today but i don't know when we will get out next break longer than one day." he says sadly.

" of course! i guess we'll just have to make the best of these two and a half weeks then!" i say trying to be positive.

" course! have a good night!" he says waving me off as i back out.

About halfway home i get an incoming call from Jared so i pick it up and put it on speaker.

"hey babe! how did your date with Niall go" he says happily with a laugh.

" your so silly" i coo, usually he's not in this good of a mood so i'm making the best on it "it went great! i got to meet all the boys and they are all sweethearts"

" that's nice babe, when do i get to meet them?" he says completely serious.

" oh-" i nervously laugh. " well i just meet them i don't wanna seem demanding or annoying" i say honestly.

" well i don't really care, just see what you can do." he says his good mood apparently gone.

" ok" i squeak. i hear someone start to talk on the other line and it's not Jared and he immediately hangs up. that's weird i think it's probably just a show he really likes. yeah that's it. i'm pretty sure there's a new family guy on tonight or something. i pull into my apartment complex and go to my apartment extremely exhausted. i fall asleep right on the couch as i'm taking off my shoes.
