Perfect Act
Prologue
Quick before story A/N: I re-read some of these earlier chapters an cringed at the length and quality. I promise you they get longer, more interesting and more well written. I'm in the process of re-writing the first few chapters so just bare with me and don't click away just yet ;)
Bella's PoV:
I stood anxiously waiting at the airport, searching for the face of the friend I hadn't seen in years. Niall and I used to be really close. He came to Australia twice a year 5 years in a row. After he found out he wasn't coming back we still Skyped as little kids and called each other, but once things got complicated with my family we kind of lost contact. By that I mean I slowly fazed him out of my life, like I have with so many people before. I had never really watched X-Factor but once all my friends started taking about this insanely hot boy band I thought I would check it out. When I googled them I was not expecting to see hundred of pictures of Niall and 4 other blokes. I always new he loved singing and music but he had seemed to shy to ever do anything about it. Anyway, I called him up that night and we talked for hours.
After that we had weekly calls, him telling me all about X-Factor and how great the guys in his band were, me carefully telling him only small amounts of my life, leaving out about 95% of it, but doing my best to not actually strait out tell that may lies.
Niall called one day saying that after there 1st tour they would be moving somewhere for 10 months to do recording and stuff and that the band had agreed to spend the time in Australia. This meant that for 10 months the band, most of there management and the five boys would be living in Australia, more specifically, Sydney. I can't remember exactly how it happened, but somehow I had agreed to let the boys stay with me for the time. When my very rich great aunt who I barely even knew died she left me a house and giant apartment that I didn't even know she owned. So pretty much I got two homes and I never even had to pay a cent. Two friends lived in the house (yet I still spent plenty of time there and had my own room) and I lived alone in the two story apartment. Since it had 5 extra room the boys could each get one to themselves. So here I was, 4 months later waiting for them to arrive.
Nialls PoV:
I couldn't wait. I was literally bouncing on the seat on the plane, waiting to land. I hadn't seen Bella since I was what, maybe 9? We used to be so close, but then the friendship dropped out, I'll never really understand what happened there but that was the past and now I was only 20 minutes away from seeing her again. We had skyped the past few months and, (not that had feelings for her, just something I noted ) she is really fit! I knew the other guys couldn't wait to meet her either since I had talked her up so much. Liam and Zayn had flown to Australia earlier yesterday as we thought that if we didn't go together maybe we would go unnoticed by fans and the pap. The other boys were going to meet us at the gate and Bella would meet us in just inside the airport.
"Food" I heard someone say. I snapped my head around to an annoyed looking Harry and I could tell he must have been trying to get my attention for a while. "Common mate the plane landed. We're back in the land down under" I laughed at Harry's failed attempt at an Aussie accent and stood up ready to leave the plane. Surprisingly I had slept for the majority of the plane ride, so had Harry and Louis, so we were all alert and ready to see Bella. As we got off and walked though the airport and met the other guys I started to become nervous. What if the guys didn't like Bella? What if she didn't like them? What if Louis was too sassy? What if Harry was too flirty? We would be living with her for 10 months and if things didnt go well she could easily kick us out. I took a deep breath and started to scan the place looking for Bella. I felt my mouth split into a huge grin when I saw her.
"BELLA!!!!!!"
Bellas PoV:
I heard my name being screamed and I turned around to be flattened by my Irish friend.
"Bella its been so long I've missed you so much" he said still squeezing the life out of me.
"Dude I've missed you too but I don't think the best way to start this 'reunion' is by killing me," he just chuckled and got off me, helping me up. I watched as the other boys strolled over too me and I could see that they were each studying me intently. I started to feel little self conscious.
Louis PoV:
As I got my first good look at Bella once Niall had gotten off of her I noticed that Niall wasn't kidding when he said she was fit, although he never said it in a way that made me think he was falling for her, so I thought he was just trying to give us a good impression of her. I smiled and gave Bella a hug.
"Wonderful to finally meet you Bella, Nialls been talking about you non-stop for the past month." Her face turned a little worried and she turned to Niall.
"Good things I hope." He nodded his head vigorously. I silently laughed to myself and stepped back, letting the other guys say hello.
Zayns PoV:
Damn this girl is hot. When she smiled it lit up the room and her eyes were the most gorgeous brown I had ever seen. Although, when she smiled she looked happy and her eyes lit up, her eyes still held a sort of sadness and depth to them. I would have to find out what that was about later... I noticed that Louis had stepped back and I stepped forward to introduce myself. I gave her a hug.
"Hey, great to meet you, Im Zayn." She smiled back at me.
"I'm Bella, nice to meet you too," she seemed like one of those girls who was naturally sweet and kind. I gave her a final smile and stepped back, waiting for Harry to step forward, only he didn't, he sort of just stood there.
Harry's PoV:
My god, she's beautiful. The minute I laid eyes on her even though I was about 100meters away I could still tell she was gorgeous. Her clothes were simple, and she had no make-up on, but still she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. I stood there while Louis and Zayn introduced themselves and then things went quiet. Zayn nudged me forward and I realised that the others had been waiting for me to say something and that I had just stood there staring. Yeah, great way to make a good first impression Harry.
"Um hi, nice to meet you love" I smiled at her and she smiled back. I though i was going to drop dead when she smiled at me.
"Great to meet you Harry" she smiled again and I stepped back and watched Liam introduce himself. He stepped forward and smiled, although I noticed he looked paler than usual.
"Lovely to meet you Bella. Thanks so much for letting us stay with you." Typical Liam being his polite self.
Liam's PoV
I smiled and introduced myself politely, but my heart was beating quicker than ever and my mind was racing a million miles an hour. I had seen this girl before. It was dark then and she looked different now but I was 100% sure that this wasn't the first time I had met Bella. For she was the girl I hadn't been able to take my mind off. She was the girl from last night.

Notes
Hey! This is my first proper fanfic so please dont be too harsh! I know this chapter was a little boring but I had to introduce it all and get all the boys first impressions of Bella. I swear it'll get better xx
Holy fuck I need to know what happens. Please just tell me Harry and Bella make it through everything and end up together because I might lose my mind if not. This is so good but holy shit my emotions
