While the boys were chuckling for which seemed like forever, I was debating with myself whether or not to ask the question I had been dying to know the answer to.

Before I could even decide, the words had spilled out of my mouth.

“ Wait, did you just say fan?” I asked feeling as if I might have misheard him.

Their laughter quickly came to a halt as they turned to each other in disbelief.

“ Erm…no, I don’t recall I said that…But anyways love, I’m Harry” he said as we awkwardly shook hands.
Damn, his hands were huge. I didn’t know it was humanly possible to have hands that big, but he sure proved me wrong.

“ Oh I’m Liam!”

“…and I’m Zayn!”

“…and more importantly I’m Louis!”

“Nice to meet you all…” I pointed out.

Niall and I sat down to join them as we all began to devour our food.

“I like a girl with a big appetite” Niall joked. I couldn’t hold back my giggles. I loved to eat and I wasn’t ashamed of it.

“Good, you better get used to it! I could eat all day!” I chuckled as I gave him a light punch. He dramatically winced in pain and began rubbing his arm.

“Ouch! You’re so tough!” he said in the most sarcastic tone while revealing a cheeky grin.
I couldn’t hold back my laughter. Although I barely knew him, we got along really well.

After fooling around with Niall, the six of us began discussing our favorite Disney movies. I found it hilarious that Liam proudly announced that he memorized every line in Toy Story by heart.

Anyways, we talked about the most random things, but I really enjoyed being in their presence.
I couldn’t get over the fact that they were such a cheery group of boys and to be honest, I wasn’t used to talking to people like them.

I was always the type of girl that was shy, had few friends, and just kept my feelings to myself. I was never confident and just stayed quiet most of my life.

This was always how I was, so talking to people like THEM felt so different. They were all so care-free and could just be themselves. I wish I could be like that, but after my startling past, I was scared of everything.

But right now…in this moment…I felt as if nothing in my life could go wrong.

Then I remembered Jake and why I was here…..

I came back to tragic reality.

Well this is great. I have no place to live and I’m such a little fuck up. Why were these people even talking to me? I should really just go talk to Samantha, that’s why I came here after all.

These boys were nice and all, but I have some serious problems that I need to figure out. For example, like FINDING a place to sleep at night! Gosh, I was just too caught up in the moment.

I pulled out my phone, only to see the hundreds of messages and missed calls from the one and only Jake. Of course. I sighed and skimmed through the texts until I could feel someone’s eyes looking over my shoulder.

I turned over to look at Niall who seemed to have a concerned look on his flawless face. I gave him a weak smile and concluded that it was probably time for me to go.

I glared down at my watch.

Sam’s shift would end any minute. I decided to shoot her a text, asking if she would meet me at the Starbucks down the road. Once I clicked send, I stood up from my chair and said my farewell.

“I should get going. It was nice meeting you Harry, Liam, Louis, Zayn and…Niall” I croaked.

“Why do you have to go?” Liam asked.

“Yeah! We just got to know you…don’t leave yet” Louis chimed in.

I most certainly wasn’t prepared for them to ask why I was leaving. What do I say? I’ll just be very vague about it and hopefully they wouldn’t suspect anything. It’s not that I want to leave, but I have to. We just ate lunch together. That’s it. Why was I feeling like it was more than that?

“ I have to go meet up with a friend.” I said.

“Alright. Well do you think we could hang out another time?” Niall asked as he gave me a cheeky grin that sent chills down my spine.

I had to think over my answer for that question. Of course I wanted to see him again, but it was the fact that I didn’t know if I could.

“Maybe.” I replied while giving him a wink.

He chuckled at my response and pulled me into a hug, which I certainly wasn’t prepared for.

The way he wrapped his arms around me made me feel like I could stay in them forever. There was just something so warm and gentle about his hug that made me oblivious to the rest of the world.
He was special.

Suddenly, I pulled away. I froze. I was missing something. Panic began to fill my entire body as I began to search around the room. Where did it go?!

“Niall have you seen my suitcase?” I blurted out.

Right as his lips parted to answer, someone else spoke before he could.

“Suitcase? For what? Where are you going?” Zayn questioned in all seriousness.

I ignored his response. Honestly, it’s none of his business. I didn’t want to tell them the truth. I mean that’s downright embarrassing.

I just needed to find my bag. My entire life depended on that suitcase and it was all I really had left. How could I be so stupid by leaving it unattended?

I walked away from the table, without saying another word. I hurried over to the spot where I had tackled Niall and there it was.

Thank god I didn’t lose it entirely. I grabbed it and headed out the door.
