There's No Such Thing As Too Young

A few weeks had passed, and Zayn was due home in Five days.

I was beyond excited.

We spent most nights on Skype to each other, and when we didn't have the time, we'd share a phone call and text aimlessly.

I'd already gotten his birthday presents and wrapped them up.

Of course, I didn't go to the store, I ordered online because my anxiety was a killer.

I hadn't self-harmed for about a week, and I only hurt myself the last time because I had a panic attack one night.

I was proud of myself.

School sucked, like usual.

But, I hadn't had too many bad experiences with the group.

Emily and I celebrated her birthday, and she was beyond happy when Louis Face-timed her to sing happy birthday.

They were the perfect couple.

"Drella!" I heard Emily shout from upstairs, in my room.

We were having a sleepover, like we do most weekends.

"What?!" I hollered back, grabbing some glasses from the cupboard.

"Hurry up! The boys are online! We're waiting for you!" She called, making me smile.

We were all Skyping together tonight, as the boys weren't doing a show even though it was Saturday.

I quickly filled the glasses with water, and scurried out of the kitchen.

I entered my room to see Emily sat on my bed, with my laptop in front of her.

I placed the glasses on the side.

"Yay! Drella's here!" She cheered when she saw me.

"Let me see my girlfriend!" I heard Zayn whine.

I grabbed some pajama pants from the drawer, seeing as I was only in Zayn's long shirt and underwear, Emily was wearing a shirt of Louis's.

We didn't care what we looked like when we were alone, we were best friends.

"She's half naked, she's putting some pants on." Emily told them, causing Louis to wolf whistle.

"Baby, don't put any clothes on! You know how much I like your body." Zayn whined through the speakers, causing me to blush and Emily to laugh.

I rolled my eyes and climbed onto my bed next to Emily.

"Hi." I waved, tucking my hair behind my ears.

"Hi, Drella!" Louis exclaimed.

"Baby!" Zayn grinned.

"What are you two doing?" Emily asked.

"We're being boring and watching TV, the others have gone out to a strip club, we're so tired." Louis answered, receiving a shove in the side from Zayn.

"Hmm, really? Did you stay behind because you have girlfriends or because you're tired?"

"Both." Louis mumbled, causing Zayn to slap him around the head.

"Ow! Dude!" He yelled, punching him in the arm.

They started squabbling, and Louis ended up in an awkward headlock.

"Hey! Break it up!" I told them, tapping on the screen.

The ignored us, no matter how loud we shouted.

"Oh look at that, our clothes have magically disappeared..." Emily said casually, winking at me.

I swallowed back a laugh.

Louis and Zayn immediately let go of each other, looking at the screen expectantly.

"You lied!" Louis accused Emily, pointing at the screen with a glare.

"Sorry, did you want to see my girlfriend naked?" Zayn asked him accusingly, staring him down.

I blushed.

"I didn't mean it like that! I want to see my girlfriend naked!" Louis exclaimed, causing Emily to giggle.

"Ew." I gagged, turning my nose up and glancing over the laptop to the TV in my room.

We were watching American Horror Story.

"Drella boo! I love you." Zayn cooed, blowing me a kiss.

"I love you too." I chuckled as Louis and Emily gagged dramatically like I had done.

"Only Five days to go, girls!" Zayn said excitedly, his eyes lighting up.

"I know! What's the plan then?" Emily wondered, and I nodded in agreement.

"The bus will drop Harry, Liam and Niall at their places. Louis’s going to his. Is it alright if I get the bus to drop me at yours, Drella? My car's there, remember?" Zayn asked.

"Is that a serious question? I haven't seen you in Three weeks, of course you can get dropped off here!" I replied.

Zayn smiled like a crazy person.

"Emily, Baby, will you be able to sneak out to see me like usual?" Louis inquired.

"Obviously, babe. My parents never catch me, do they? Although, you need to stop leaving marks on my neck, I was grilled by Mom the day you left."

"Sorry." Louis blushed, rubbing his neck.

"I'm so glad we'll be back before my birthday." Zayn spoke.

"Speaking of your birthday. I have something planned." I told Zayn, who nodded eagerly.

"Of course! I can’t wait to see!"

"Calm down." Emily laughed, earning the middle finger from Zayn.

They bickered like siblings constantly.

We all carried on with pointless conversations, giggling and acting like idiots.

I loved these guys so much, they made me so happy.

I was so thankful for them.
