"You guys found him!" Allison said as we caught up with her, Liam and Harry, "Yeah he followed Olivia," I said looking directly as Allison because she as the only one who knew about Olivia's real life. Her eyes widened.

"He did what?" she asked trying to keep her voice. Liam and Harry looked at us strangely.

"What? What's so bad about that?" Harry asked. Me and Allison just shook our heards. "We'll tell you later," I said. "Come on let's go home," Niall said. We all started walking back and soon the boys were back at it. They started moaning and groaning about how back their feet hurt.

"Would you guys please just shut up!?" I said. "We can't!" they all said. Allison just giggled as we kept walking. FInally we reached my house.

Louis had already beaten us home. He was passed out on the coach and he had what looked like paint in his hair and all over his clothes. "LOUIS WAKE UP!" Harry shouted. Louis jumped up. "Huh, what? What did I miss,?" he asked. "Just the face that Zayn almost went missing," Liam said. "nothing big so how was your day?" He said jokingly. Louis frowned "Horrible, I had to wash the whole tour bus with my bare hands and then I had to re paint it! Then Paul made me wash it again!" He said. We all just laughed.

"Oh Lou, you'll get used to it!" I said. Louis just groaned.

"I don't want to!" he said stuffing his face in the pillow. I just laughed and went into the kicthen. "Do you guys want to order pizza?" I asked. "Sure!" they all called back. After I ordered the pizza, I quickly snuck out the back door with my guitar and my backpack. I normally did my homework out by the pond too.

I sat down and started to do my English homework, but I got bored easily and decided to just play my guitar for a little bit.

Suddenly I heard footsteps coming. I looked up. Niall was watching me from across the pond. "Niall?" I said. He stepped out nervously and he looked like I was going to yell at him.

I just smiled and patted the ground next to me for him to come sit. He walked around the pond and sat down. "You're not mad?" he asked. I sighed. "Why would I be mad?" I asked. "Well uh, you just didn't seem to really like us," he said nervously. I smiled. "No worries, I guess we got off on the wrong foot," I said. He nodded.

"I didn't know you play?" he said looking at my guitar. I smiled "Yeah it was a gift from my dad when I was younger, I started playing when I was twelve," I said. "You're really good," he said. I smiled "Thanks, don't you play?" I asked. He nodded and started at the water. I handed my guitar to hiim. He looked up.

"Huh?" he said looking totally confused. I chuckled at the expression on his face. Maybe I could trust them. I mean I was already on good terms with Louis and NIall. Maybe I could expect Zayn, Liam, and Harry. Who knows we would be really good friends? Honestly now I think of it I would actually kind of like that. I'd have more people in my life to keep me company.

He started playing the guitar and he hit the notes perfectly. He started playing the chords to Gotta Be You. I sung softly, so soft that I could bearly hear myself. Somehow Niall heard me. He stopped playing and looked up.

"I thought you didn't like our songs." He said. I blushed "Well I never said I didn't like your songs," I said. Niall gave me a looking that said you're lying. "Ok well I didn't like your songs becasue I didn't like you, but that's changed and besides Olivia and Allison would play all of them 24/7 I caught on quickly," I said. Niall chuckled.

He continued playing and then we both ended up singing along. We were singing softly and in harmony and I felt...happy. For once in my lonely life I felt like I had a friend. Someone who could be there for me when I needed them. Allison and Olivia obviously have been there for me my whole life, but now I had Niall and Louis. And Liam and Zayn and Harry. I smiled and rested my head on Niall's shoulder.

"Thank you Niall," I said. He smiled "I don't know why but you're welcome," he said. I looked up and laughed.

Niall looked around.

"Its so pretty out here," he said. I nodded. "Yeah it's my favorite place in the whole world." I said. Niall nodded. "We don't get to see nature that much anymore, you know being on tour and everything," he said. I nodded. "I don't know I'd be able to do that, I come out here even in the rain," I said. Niall looked at me. "Really?" he asked. I nodded.

"It calms me down," I said. He nodded. "I never show anyone this place, well besides you and Louis because you guys were sneaking around!" I said playfully hitting his shoulder. Niall put his hands up in defeat. "Ok ok," he said.

Kate!?!" I head Allison's voice. "Niall?!" Louis yelled. "We should go back," I said. Niall nodded.

We both stood up. "Kate," Niall said. I turned around. He looked at the ground and he blushed. I thought he was going to say something, but he didn't.

"Yeah?" I said getting impatient. "Never mind," He siad. I just nodded and we jogged back towards the house.

"Sorry guys," I said putting my guitar on the side of the door. "What's up?" I asked.

"Pizza's here and you're the only one who has money," Harry said looking at me with a playful grin. I groaned and reached into my pocket. I jogged to the front door and handed the guy some money. He smiled and gave me the pizza before I went back inside. Before I even got the pizza on the table the boys attacked it.

"Oh my god, boys are animals," I muttered. Allison just laughed and I cracked a smile. We had to pry them away form the box before we got our piece.

"Alright, alright I paid for it, I get a piece," I siad. "Oh yeah sorry!" Louis said stuffing his mouth. We jut laughed and continued eating.

I felt like I had reall friends.

I wasn't lonely.
