Chance vs. Payne

Chapter Five

Liam’s POV

I wake up the next morning and I have this weird happy feeling. Going through what happened last night, I remember. Maura. I saw Maura in real life. I hugged Maura. Maura told me that she likes me the best out of the band. And then I remember that poor girl who got the Take Me Home CD when I signed: Maura + Liam = love.

I suddenly realize the biggest reason I’m so happy. Today’s the day we get to spend the whole day with Maura and her famil. I know I shouldn’t wish this, but I kind of hope Greyson isn’t oing to be with us. I jump out of bed and start turning all the lights on, hoping that it’ll wake the boys up a little faster. Hearing them mve around, I’m satisified. I run into the bathroom and take the fastest shower I’ve ever taken in my life. Well, the day I tried out for the X Factor competes with it.

I walk out of the bathroom feeling read for the day. Looking around, I see the boys haven’t even gotten out of bed yet.

“Hey!” I shout, “Get out of your bed and get ready for the day. Don’t make me sing the ‘It’s Time to Get Up In the Morning’ song.”

Zayn sits up, “Why are you so excited to get up today?”

“Yeah,” Louis complains, “You’ve never been a morning person. In fact none of us are morning people, so I’m going back to sleep now. It’s only 7:00. We have the day off…” His sentence trails off and he realizes what I’m so excited for.

Zayn stands up, “I get it. I know why Liam is so excited! Today’s the day that we spend the day with Maura.”

I glare at him. I’m still kind of mad at him for telling everybody about what I think of Maura.

“Whaaa…?” Niall asks while finally sitting up.

Louis pushes Niall out of his bed, “Get up! Come on, Let’s go! We need to hurry up. Liam’s going to yell at us if we don’t hurry up. Even though we aren’t actually with the Robertson’s until 10:30 and it’s only 7:35.”

Harry randomly starts laughing, even though I didn’t even think he was awake. Obviously he was. Louis looks at him and then starts laughing. Zayn looks at me and I can tell he knows I’m kind of annoyed.

“I’m going to go take a shower,” Zayn looks at me and rushes to the bathroom.

Niall still doesn’t know what’s going on. He’s sitting on the floor practically sleeping. I smile to myself. Typical Niall: either hungry or sleeping.

“What’s going on? What is everybody up already? What am I missing?” Niall looks at Harry and Louis, hoping for an explanation but they’re too busy laughing to notice. He looks at me, “Why you are already dress for the day?” But as soon as the word leaves his mouth, I can tell he knows.

“Yes Niall, I’m excited for today.” I say, trying to avoid the real reason I’m excited although I’m pretty sure they already know.

“Why are you so excited?” Harry tries to get me to five in.

“Yeah, tell me, Daddy Directioner. When we first got together you told us never to keep secrets from each other. Now look at what you’re doing.” Louis gets me to state the obvious.

“Fine. I’m really excited to see Maura again. And Louis, I wouldn’t be talking because you’re always excited before you get to see Eleanor.

Maura’s POV

Rolling over, I look at my alarm clock. 7:50. Shoot! I didn’t mean to sleep in so late. Today I get to spend the whole day with One Direction. The whole day! I choose my clothes out before I get into the shower. Nothing seems right to wear. Gemma told me to wear what I would wear to school. I don’t think she realizes how big of a deal it is for me. Finally I choose some casual Hollister jeans with a dark blue shirt that has different colored stripes. I hope Louis doesn’t get to mad, I smile to smile and think back to the days when he used to wear stripes and suspenders.
