Good Intentions

MEGHAN’S POV

I go to my room and do a happy dance. Finally I’ll get some time out of this house and with my bestie. I pack for overnight and throw in an extra change of clothes, just in case. I pack my journal every time I stay somewhere over night, I’d hate for someone to come across it.

Dad wakes me up at 6 and I get dressed quickly, excited to be going somewhere. I make my way to the kitchen and Will gets my attention as I walk by his room.
“So how long will you be gone?”
“Just over night, why?”
“Curious is all”
We both exit his room and go to the kitchen to eat breakfast.

Dad goes over what he expects of Will while he’s gone and everything that needs to be done. Most of the work is around the house.
Dad will be staying in town over night also because of some bank stuff he has to take care of.
After I finish eating, my plate in the sink, I go get my bag and bring it to the front signaling I’m ready. With his bag in his hand Dad heads to the door. I kiss mom good bye and side hug Will and follow him out.
It takes about 45 minutes to get to their house but time flies by. Its been months since I’ve seen her.

We pull into their driveway and I see her on the porch waving. Dad walks me in to see if they need him to pick up anything for them while he is in town.

Zoe takes my hand and pulls me back to her room. She opens the door and I’m met with posters of gorgeous guys on her walls. She hears her mom call her from the front and tells me she’ll be right back.
My eyes are drawn to several posters, I step closer. My hand goes to my mouth.
“Oh my God! Have you ever seen guys as good looking as they are?” Zoe says from behind me.
“No. Who are they?”
“You’re joking right?” she says stepping in front of me to make sure I’m not joking.”
“No, I’m not. I really don’t know who they are”
She proceeds to tell me their names, ages, birthdates and little things about them. There are different posters for different years, different tours. She stands in front of the latest one and sighs.
“So, who’s your favorite?” she asks me. I look at the posters walking down her wall and back to where I started.
I point and touch the poster. “That’s Harry. I love his eyes. I personally like Niall” She draws a heart around around him with her finger and walks over to the book case and pulls out some CDs.
“You really are transfixed on him aren’t you?” I nod. “Have a sit down, let me introduce you to One Direction”

She started with the earliest CD and plays her favorites, then skips to the second and plays her favorites. She’s almost going too fast, my brain cant process all of this. I think I zoned out at some point while looking at the posters.
“And this, this is by far my favorite” she says as she skips to another CD. “Four”. I sit and listen more intently at the voices and I hear Will. I almost cry. “Yeah, it does that to me too”.
So, since you know absolutely nothing, how about we watch videos and then tonight we’ll watch their movies.
“Sounds good” I say as she gets her computer and we get situated in the floor.
“Where to start? Well, we’ll start from the beginning. The very beginning.” She gets up and gets a book, “Here, this is a little about them.”
I don’t know whether to look at the book or watch the video. I watch a rather young Will audition for a chance on a British talent show. He was so cute. She then finds another video and I watch another audition. I am instantly sucked in. She probably could have left me and I would have never known.
“OK enough auditions, lets get to the real stuff”
I watch their earliest music videos and I’m amazed at it all. Will’s voice, his looks, everything about him.
“What about their latest stuff?”
“Well, they have a release date so the latest I have is Four, so we can watch videos from the songs off of it.watch videos. And there is tons of concert footage also.”
I sit back as the first video is played and I see the Will I first saw. His walk, the way his hands slide through his hair and the way he dressed. His voice was almost more than I could stand.

After dinner she put in This Is Us and I watched in amazement.
I now felt like I really knew him. I knew about him more than he knows about himself.

I smile in the darkness, and he’s mine.



We wake up the next morning and go to the kitchen as her mom finishes breakfast. She lets me know that my dad has already called and his meeting at the bank went quicker than he thought and was already headed back.

I’m not ready to go back. I still have so much to learn about Will.

After we finish we go back to her room and I get my things together. I keep glancing up at the posters and wish I could take one home with me.

“I have somethings for you” I turn to Zoe as she starts moving things around in her closet. “Here”.
I look as he is handing me a handful of magazines. I take them and look at the cover of each one. Each one has something about One Direction in it. “Thank you, but these are yours.”
“I probably have each one memorized by now. They’re yours, and here” I watch as she carefully removes a poster from her wall. It’s the one with Midnight Memories on it, my favorite. She carefully folds it and places it inside on the magazines so the corners don’t get bent. “I pass the torch to you” she says as she hugs me. “Just don’t drool too much”. I tuck them in my bag and feel as though I am smuggling drugs. We both laugh as I gather my things and head to the front of the house.
I see through the window my dads truck pulling up the drive.
