5 Boys Too Many
Same Mistakes
I woke up to the sound of birds chirping right outside my window. I looked at the time. 5:07 am. That was only the first thing I thought about when I woke up. The second thing, Harry. I've decided to not always address his as Harry Styles because that's something a crazy fan girl would do and I can no longer be like that if me and Styles were in a committed relationship. Oh yeah, I forgot about his little scene last night. I wasn't sure now if we were actually dating, but if this boy expects to come into to town and knock me up then leave, he's wrong. I fell back asleep for a few more hours only because I was so eager to text Harry when I woke up.
"Mel breakfast is on the table!" A very eager Darcy yelps.
I didn't even hesitate to check my phone. It had only been obvious that I dreamt of Harry Styles for those 3 hours I slept. Oh crap, I'm doing it again.
Hey, so I wanted to talk to you about last night. -Mel
I threw my phone on my bed and ran downstairs to eat. 5 pancakes and a fruit bar later, I was ready to see what Harry had replied with. I dove for my bed but before I even got comfortable I saw that I didn't have a text. I sat and waited by my phone for another 30 minutes. I wanted to talk so bad but obviously he had something else in mind. I was upset so I called Anyssa over.
"Maybe he just got busy and read your message and will reply later, or did you ever think that its 8:30 in the morning and not everyone wakes up at the crack of dawn?"
"You're so right Ness. I have nothing to be worried about! Hang out for the day would ya? We can have a movie marathon!" Before I even finished my sentence she was throwing pillows and blankets and snacks on my comforter. During the movie, I started to doze off and I remembered that I only got 3 hours of sleep. As I was waking up, I noticed Ness was gone. At first it made me mad that she just left because I had shit to tell her but then I looked at the clock and it was 11:46 pm. I immediately grabbed my phone and checked for missed calls or messages.
Nothing.
Fuck it, I'm going back to bed.
A tear streamed down my face.
Buzz, buzz.
I could hear my phone ringing but I was too busy dreaming about Justin Bieber so I ignored it. His dreamy eyes were giving me a stare that I could not run away from. Finally the ringing stopped for about five minutes to let me sleep.
BUZZ, BUZZ
"Come on!" I yelled.
I looked at the screen, the name read Harry Styles.
I was hesitant to answer it but I knew I had to.
"Hello?"
"Mel is that you? Oh baby I'm so sorry I never got back with you yesterday I was really busy and I got caught up in some band drama. I hope you forgive me! Tell ya what, I'll take you to my place tonight and you can meet the boys and we'll all have a good time!"
"I forgive you Styles... How could I not baby??"
"I'll pick you up at 7!" I could hear the excitement in his voice and that made me 10 times happier than I just was 30 seconds ago.

"Mel baby Harry is here to pick you up!" I had just finished touching up my mascara and putting my favorite cherry red lip-gloss on as Harry barged through my bedroom door like he owned the place. He blushed in embarrassment as he felt like he came in at the wrong time.
"Sorry baby your mom told me to find you in your room."
"Call her Darcy please."
"Hey I think if you can call her your mom, so can I right?" he said in a sarcastic tone.
"She's not my mom. My mom died in a train wreck." I could hear in my voice that the only two things I've said to Harry since he's gotten here were bitchy.
"I'm sorry babe its kinda just a sensitive subject toward me. Its not your fault I should have told you earlier, sorry." I tried to sound as innocent and upset as possible so that I would get millions of kisses in the car.
Harry took his hand and brushed a piece of my hair back that swung across my face.
"Let's go."
"BOYS?!?!"
All of a sudden I heard what sounded like a million footsteps trampling down the stairs.
"Here she is." The way Harry introduced me to the boys shocked me. In a way, it made it sound like the rest of them didn't care to meet me and Harry didn't care to introduce me. But he also made it sound like "here's the perfect work of art that I've been telling you boys about. Cherish it."
Liam, Louis, and Zayn patted me on the head and ran to the fridge for a snack. Everyone except for Niall.
"Aren't you the one who's always supposed to be the hungriest?" I laughed at my own joke.
"I wanted to get to properly meet you. Hi, I'm Niall Horan. You don't have to introduce yourself I know who you are."
"Are you kidding?! That should have gone the other way. Your Niall Horan. Of course I know you!" I really have to stop with the first name last name thing. I was starting to annoy myself.
The blond haired blue eyed boy reached out his hand for me to shake and as I did, he pulled me in for a big cheeky hug.
"Can I just say that you are one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen?" Niall kept me close to his torso as he brushed my hair back with his fragile and gentle hand. The way those words left his mouth made me go weak. After 5 minutes I looked up at him and he was already looking at me.
"You're mother must be so proud to have a beautiful girl like you in her life."
"Her mother is dead, asshole." The words shot from Harry's mouth like a dart. I jumped away from Niall's comforting arms and I pleaded for Harry's forgiveness. Niall just stood behind me with a grin on his face looking Harry directly in the eyes. We all 3 stood there for a while and then Harry finally gave up and went upstairs. It's not like Niall kissed me or anything! Harry cant be mad at me, it wasn't my fault!
I ran upstairs to where he went. There was a long hallway with 5 doors.
"Damn it Harry where are you?" I ran into a room with a bunch of stickers of old bands and an Irish flag on the door.
"Harry are you in here baby?" I heard the door creek open behind me. I turned around startled and standing there was the blond Irish boy that I had almost fallen in love with 5 minutes ago.
"Niall please get out of here."
"I would but this is my room. Harry's is right outside to the right." He was looking down at his feet when he talked to me. I thought he was going to rape me for a second. I took two of my fingers and lifted his head up to meet my eyes.
"I'm sorry Niall." I planted a kiss on his cheek and ran straight to Harry's room.
Niall's POV:
Her soft delicate lips pressing against my skin made me weak. I never meant to hurt her, or Harry. It was like love at first sight the minute her gaze met mine I couldn't stay away. I wanted to hold her so I did and while she was in my arms I forgot about the rest of the world around us. I couldn't keep this big grin off my face, not even when Harry was yelling at me.
I love everything about this girl. I've got to tell Harry.
Harry's POV:
I've always been a good listener, but trying to listen to Melissa tell me that this was all a huge misunderstanding was miserable. I wanted to spend all of my time with her because I like her but all we do is fight and I'm not sure if I can take it anymore. I managed to try to listen to whatever the hell she had to say.
"Sometimes I feel like after we had sex, you wanted nothing to do with me and you just used me." The words flew out of her mouth quicker and easier than she expected.
"Mel, if this were the case, you wouldn't be here right now. I wouldn't be tearing up over the fact that you and Niall had one of the most beautiful moments I've ever seen him have with any girl. And you just met him. I like you a lot but I feel like your mind is set on Niall now. I saw the way you looked at him. With eyes I've never seen before. Not ever when we made love." I could tell that calling it making love made her queasy. But at the same time it made her realize that I really do like her and she needs to get her head out of Niall's ass.
She passionately kissed me on the lips and pushed me down on my bed so that she was laying on top of me. She moved me to my side so that we were laying side by side. Her chest pressed into mine and we lay there in each others arms for the rest of the night.
"Mel breakfast is on the table!" A very eager Darcy yelps.
