Moment of Weakness

Small world after all

I finally got home from my classes at around three-thirty, but had to go back to work, at around five-thirty. I work at a small bookstore, that's on campus, and is run by a couple in their mid-sixties. I work there, every other day, and had to fill in, as it was Friday, and one of my other co-workers had to go home for the weekend.

I lay down on the couch, and close my eyes, hoping to take advantage of the peacefulness. Just as I'm about to drift off, I feel two pairs of hands tickling me. One large, one small. Bursting into loud, obnoxious laughter, I open my eyes, not at all surprised by the two boys, that I see.

"Jonah-Caleb-stop" I squeal, pausing, to catch my breath, while I laugh, finally escaping, and running. When I'm halfway to my room, I feel a small someone jump onto my back, wrapping his legs around my waist, so that he won't fall. I keep running, straight into my room, and fall back onto my bed, rolling a little, so that his small four year old frame wouldn't be crushed, under my weight. Laughing, I start tickling the brunette boy, soaking up the laughter and twinkle in his beautiful emerald eyes.

Just then, I feel myself picked up from behind, and thrown over someone's shoulder. Realizing who it is, I start hitting the light haired boy's back, while trying to get down from his six foor four inch frame.

"Caleb Joshua Henston, put me down right now!" I shriek into his ear, hoping that he would put me down. Just then, I hear Addie's laughter filling the room, mixing with Jonah's and Caleb's. "Addie, get your idiot boyfriend to put me down," I whine, still pounding on his back, with my fists.

"Awwww, Emmy, now why would I want to do that, it's not like we have guests coming over in a little bit, or anything," she taunts me, knowing very well that I'm going to freak out. "Oh, wait, I forgot, I invited Sree and Micah over today, for a little back to school get-together...Oops!"

That's when we all heard the doorbell ring, and Caleb ran to the door, with me still on his shoulder, rushing to open it.

"Emory, as much as I missed you, I'd rather not be greeted by your butt," I heard Sree's teasing Virginia lilt coming through the door.

"Sree, I missed you! Work was so boring without you! Help out a fellow Potterhead, here!" I practically beg her, greeting her at the same time. Caleb chooses this moment to rush me over to the couch, and drop me onto my butt. I jump off the couch, and envelope Sree and Micah into a gignatic hug, reminding them that I don't get to see them nearly enough.

"Micah! I missed you! Did you get your story published in the week I didn't see you?" I ask, completely serious. She is definitely one of the best writers out there, any publisher would be lucky to have her.

"Sadly, not yet. Not yet, Emory." She grins, squeezing me back, just as hard.

Once the initial greetings are done, I drag Sree and Micah onto the couch, wrapping them both up into a conversation about Twilight, and about how horrendous it is, a disgrace to writers everywhere.

"I just don't get it. How is it possible for a girl to be that weak? Cowering behind her sparkly boyfriend the entire time, and breaking an actual man's heart, in order to be with her stupid little leech," My voice raising ever so slightly, as I continure, completely annoyed at a fictional character for breaking Jacob Black's heart.

Caleb and Addie just stare on in amusement, until I notice five silhouettes outlined in the doorway, unmoving.

"Who's at the door?" I direct this question to Sree, knowing that Addie didn't invite anyone else over, because of the simple fact that I don't enjoy others' company too much.

"Oh...yeah, I forgot to mention," Sree starts, smiling sheepishly at the ground. "We met some new students, and they didn't have anything to do, so we kind of...invited them to come with us...and before you get mad, it was all Micah's idea!" She finishes, ponting at Micah, and hiding behind the couch.

I take a good look at the silhouettes, and realize who it is.

My new musical theory buddies.

One Direction are standing in the doorway to my apartment, looking at me as if I'm a ticking time bomb.

"Come on in, you don't need to just stand there," Caleb, being the unbelievably polite person that he is, ushers them in, and tells them to take a seat. An awkward silence soon engulfs the room, with us all just sitting there, looking around.

Finally, just when I can't take it anymore, Jonah comes into the room, closely followed by Addie.

"Sree! Micah! I missed you!" the four-year old jumps onto their laps, giving them both ginormous hugs, before turning to me, "Emmy, I need a bath, I feel all icky,"

Getting up, I take his hand, and start walking him into the bathroom, thinking of what I'm supposed to do about the boy band,that is now sitting in my living room.
