“I’m Fourteen”
I watched as the colour drained away from his face, the water bottle he was holding being choked to death by his hold on it. I turned my head and suddenly became very interested in the white door beside us, ‘Fourteen?’ he whispered. I nodded my head and sighed, looking down at my dress and fiddling with a piece of loose string hanging of it.
‘I-I’m sorry I-‘he cut me off before I could say anything else, ‘No, it’s okay, I’m fine’ he half smiled at me but I knew it was forced. The worry and stress was written over his face, and trust me, I was calm on the outside but was screaming and making unattractive faces on the inside.
‘We can make this work,’ he stated and took my hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. I weakly smiled at the gesture, well at least I didn’t hate him, but I was sure as hell that half the One Direction fan base would hate me and would be trying to assassinate me when we announce this. I turned around at the sound of laughter, four other boys walked in, giggling and whispering, ‘Shhh!’ a boy with blonde hair quietly shushed the other boys; it was obvious they were talking about me.
‘So, you’re Harry’s girl? I’m Louis’ a tall boy walked over to me and engulfed me into a bone crushing hug. I turned to Harry for some help and he quickly separated us, ‘I’m Liam, and this is Niall and Zayn’ Liam gestured to the last two boys and I waved.
‘Well, we should get going then shouldn’t we?’ Louis piped up and clapped his hands together.
‘Are you coming with us?’ Zayn asked and raised an eyebrow.
‘U-um I don’t want to intrude or anything’ I stuttered,
‘Oh nonsense! You’re going to be spending a lot of time with us in the near future so now would be a good time to get prepared for what you’re going to have to deal with for the rest of your life’ Louis giggled, Oh, just you wait Louis, you’re going to have to be prepared for what Harry and I are going to tell you when we get home.
I felt really weird going home with them, I had only known them for about 10 minutes and I was already going to their houses.
‘My name’s Liberty by the way’ I smiled.
‘Well, it’s nice to meet you Liberty’ Liam smiled and gestured for us to follow him.
We followed Liam down a flight of stairs and into an underground car park. There was a black van parked in the right corner with a tall, buff and scary looking man waiting out the front of it.
‘Took you boys long enough, what took you so long?’ The scary man said as he opened the driver’s side door before getting in. We all stared blankly at him.
‘Paul, how many members are there in One Direction?’ Harry said and raised his eyebrows.
‘That’s easy! Five!’ Paul exclaimed.
‘How many of us is there standing in front of you?’ Harry said again, as if he was talking to a child.
It took Paul a moment to count how many people were standing in front of him and it finally clicked inside his head when his eyes landed on me, ‘Hey! There’s a girl here! Since when do you carry young girls around with you?’
‘Oh for god sake Paul this is Harrys’ girlfriend!’ Zayn said with an annoyed tone, ‘Ohh’ was all Paul said as we hoped into the car.
‘Sorry about him, he’s our body guard, he’s also yours now too’ Harry whispered in my ear, I nodded my head and clicked my seat belt in.
~*~*~*~*~*~
‘Wow, when you said Tellytubbies Hut you weren’t joking’ I stared dumbfound at the apartment complex; there was a giant pool in the left corner of the yard while in the other side was a trampoline and two small soccer goals.
‘What can I say, we love being around each other’ Harry chuckled and pulled me towards the entrance.
‘You’ll be staying in the guest bedroom for now, because we don’t really know each other and all’ Harrys said as we walked into a living area. I was kind of glad I would be sleeping in a separate bed. Like Harry said, we didn’t know a lot about each other and it was going to take a couple of weeks to let him earn my trust.
‘I don’t have anything to wear’ I said and sat down on the couch.
‘You can borrow some of mine if you want? Like, just to sleep in. You can go home tomorrow and get the rest of you clothes if you want’
I shook my head and watched as the four other boys and three other girls came into view before sitting down on the floor.
‘Why are you all sitting on the floor? There are two perfectly good couches right in front of you?’ Harry said and sat beside me, ‘We don’t want to creep your girlfriend out by going all weird on her. Yet.’ A tall, skinny blonde girl said.
Harry dramatically sighed, ‘She’s not my girlfriend!’ he paused, ‘Yet.’
‘That’s Perrie, Danielle, and the girl next to Danielle is Eleanor. Eleanor is Louis’ girlfriend, Perrie is with Zayn, and Danielle is with Liam’ Harry said as they all waved. I waved back.
‘She’s still in shock, you’re going to have to wait a few hours until she’s okay and understands what the heck is going here’
The boys all nodded and I felt my muscles relax; I wasn’t ready to tell them I was still only a teenager just yet. Don’t want to freak them out in only 2 hours of knowing them.
‘We need to tell you guys something’ Harry blurted out. What?!?! No! I’m not telling them now!
They stared at us, waiting for what Harry was going to say, Harry took a deep breath and opened his eyes.
‘Liberty is only fourteen’
Awkward silence filled the air, they stared at us in shock, eyes looking as if they were about to fall out of their sockets and roll away. The chip packet Niall was holding fell onto the ground; Louis had stopped texting on his phone and was staring blankly at it.
‘She’s what?’
