“One Direction?” I asked.
“She’s obviously been living under a rock of several years…” I heard Louis whisper.
Liam shot him an intense glare.
“No…” I started to realise what exactly was going on. I stared at the boys, slowly putting the pieces together.
I started stuttering uncontrollably. “No. But you… Um. Heh, guys… But you... no.”
I turned around, so my back was facing the boys. I was mumbling to myself incredibly quietly, but I knew everyone could still hear me. I didn’t care.
“I finally see it. How did I not pick this up? They must think I’m some kind of retard…” I took a deep breath, than turned.
Everyone was standing there silently, not laughing or even smiling at me. It was like they somehow expected my reaction.
“It’s okay. Say anything you want. We understand.” Clara said gently, Liam nodding slowly beside her.
“I’m not mad… it’s just, I don’t realise how I didn’t see this. My parents always controlled what music I listened too. You know Niall, how they are overly protective …” I trailed off. “Well, were.”
Niall looked down, than looked up at me. “it’s ok sis.” He half smiled.
The other boys nodded sorrowfully. Everything was silent now.
I decided to break the silence. “What does all this have to do with me?” I said bluntly, still upset about the bringing up of my parents, even though I bought them up myself.
“We want to involve you.” Harry smiled.
When he smiled, my face felt like melting onto my shirt.
“Oh. Well, in that case…” I smiled.
Clara smiled at me. “You’re so brave.”

After the big news, the others agreed to let me go upstairs and have some time alone. In my room, I felt at one with myself. I had no idea who I was anymore. My parents were gone, I have a brother who I never knew about, and now I realise that I’m going to be part of a teenage girl’s dream… The biggest boy band in the UK. My room was homey, and I liked it a lot. Lying on my bed, I looked around, thinking. My eyes were drawn to the red door behind the pale pink curtain at the end of my room. It was beautiful. Seriously Destiny? A door? Beautiful? Come on. I couldn’t help it though. Even though it was only there for decoration, I had an aura coming from it that drew me towards it. Without thinking, I got up off my bed to take a look. When I reached the door, I placed my hand lightly on the diamond doorknob. I slowly twisted it, and jumped a little when it opened. I pushed past the pale pink curtain, and peered up into the dim light that lay before me. Stairs guided me to a small room. It had one, small, circle window at the end of it, which looked out over the front lawn and the street, then the field across the road, all the way to mountains in the distance. The room was wooden, unlike the rest of the house which was timbered. Boxes were strewn across the floor in a heap, no pattern emerging Obviously they had been bought up here in a rush. I picked up one of the smaller boxes and opened it right up. Clothes and microphones? I went to one of the bigger boxes, opening it up and taking a look inside. Stage props? I pulled one out. It was made out of thick card board and was folded up into a square. I unfolded it and set it up in front of me. I light red hippie van stood before me. Written in small writing on the side was “What makes you beautiful stage prop.” I think I knew what was going on here…
“Destiny!” I heard Niall yell from downstairs.
I panicked and grabbed the stage prop, folding it up messily and shoving into the box. I quietly ran down the few steps and into my room, shutting the red door as quietly as I could.
“Coming!” I yelled back to Niall, slightly out of breath.
“What was that?” I thought to myself as I walked down the stairs.
When I reached the kitchen, it was only Niall and Clara who was in there.
“The others had to go, but they told us to tell you goodbye.” Clara smiled.
“Oh, that’s all good.” I smiled back.
Niall jumped down from his spot where he was sitting on the bench and hugged me. “You alright lil’ sis?”
“Yes. Surprisingly I’m fine. I’m actually…” I squeezed my brother. “Excited.”
“Awesome!” He laughed, looking down at me, than letting go. “Now who’s hungry? I know I am!”
“You’re always hungry!” Clara laughed as Niall planted a kiss on her nose.
I couldn’t help laughing. I guess I was just lucky that I had these people in my life now.
I sat down at the table. Clara bought around what looked like lasagne. It smelt incredibly and I couldn’t wait to devour it. Speaking of devouring, I hadn’t eaten since I’d devoured my sandwich at lunch today. I was hungry!
“The sandwich you made me today was absolutely amazing Clara!” I beamed at her.
“That’s great!” She beamed back.
“Ok, can we eat now?” Niall whined as he sat down at the table, next to Clara.
“You’re such a baby!” I laughed at him.
“Nuh uh!” He replied in a little baby voice.
Clara laughed at us. “Oh… Both of you! Shoosh up and eat your dinner!”
“Yes mum!” Niall smirked at her.
And we all laughed.

I was upstairs, sitting on the ledge in front of my window. I’d had my shower and was sitting my fluffy, blue rabbit pyjamas. My lights were out, except for the moon’s light shining into my room. I watched out the window, as the tiny breeze rustled the trees every now and then. My eyes kept drawing back to the red door. There’s no need to go back up there Destiny… It’s just a bunch of stage props for the boys I guess...” But something kept drawing my eyes back to it. I thought about the door for a while as I sat on my ledge, other thoughts crossing my mind sometimes, but quickly leaving. I stayed there until I was almost asleep. I dragged myself to my bed and curled up under the covers, falling asleep almost instantly.
