Through The Dark (1D Fanfiction)

1: Breakfast Chaos

"Ah!"

I opened my eyes as soon as I heard the earsplitting scream coming from downstairs. Hesitantly, I stood up and changed my PJ with a black loose shirt and shorts. I already washed my face and brushed my teeth when I came running downstairs and headed to the kitchen.

"Morning sugar bunch, what do you want for breakfast?" my mother asked as she rummaged through our refrigerator.

"Bacon and egg would be awesome, Mom. Erm, whose scream woke me up?" I replied as I sat on one of the stool at the kitchen counter.

"Oh, it's Charlie. She just screamed when she heard something on the TV," she answered while giggling a bit.

"God, what now?" I murmured to myself. "Mom, I'm just... going to the living room. Call me when breakfast is ready, please?" I asked her while she cracked the eggs.

"Sure thing, darling," she told me as I walked my way into the living room.

When I came, I saw Charlie sitting on the couch watching... News?! This girl never watched the news unless there was something interesting. And as I looked over her shoulder, I noticed five familiar British lads waving. That was when I got over my shock.

"Hey, Charley!" I greeted her enthusiastically and sat down on the couch beside her. "What's that your watching and you've been screaming for almost five minutes?" I asked even though I was already aware that it was her favourite band.

I swear I saw her eyes shone as she opened her mouth before rambling, "It's a news about One Direction! It said that they are already here for their upcoming concert this weekend!" After a minute, I tuned her out. I knew I have an incredulous look on my face but I could not be bothered.

After some time, she stopped talking. I calmly sighed and smirked. "And so? That shitty band doesn't give you a legitimate reason to wake me up!" My voice rose after every word. Don't get me wrong. I really liked Charlie but we clashed harder than the iceberg hit the Titanic.

With a screech, she said, "WHAT?! I did not do that!"

"Yeah, sure. And I'm not my mom's daughter."

Her face changed into one of incredulity and her voice was laced with sarcasm I could not help but gape. "Really? That comparison?"

"Whatever," I answered and waved my hands off.

Her eyes sparkled for a moment and she stood abruptly. "Oh! Wait here!" she shouted then ran off. I shrugged nonchalantly and turned to the TV, hoping to watch some good news, however.

"...and One Direction will hold a press conference this Friday. And to all the Directioners out there, I have a good news! The first fifty people that will arrive at the Princeton Hall will be allowed to go inside for a special meet and greet. Plus! The boys themselves have an announcement for you in the person. Well, that's all for today, I'm Bridget Farr, reporting for the latest news about our beloved One Direction!" The reporter ended it all with a wink.

Do I, or don't I tell Charlie about it? Think Cav!

I let out a loud groan as I contemplated the possible consequences of my actions.

"Cavy!" Charlie yelled and jump on me from who knows where.

With another groan, I pushed her off me. "What the hell, Carlotta? Get off of me!" I said. This girl weighs like a ten-wheeler truck! Okay, a bit exaggerated but all the same point-- she was heavy.

She got up and sit up straight looking intently at me with those... what the actual fuck? Why was the fucking hell she putting those puppy-eyes on me? I felt my hands got clammy and the cold air was sending shivers down my spine. If I hate something in this world, it was that look. I cannot say no to her.
