All Hidden Away

“Wait… I can explain!” I say standing and turning from the boys to head outside.
“I thought the whole secret brother thing was because you didn’t want fame! And now you go and do this and you don’t even tell your best friend?!” she accuses me. I open the back door ignoring the boy’s questions. I slam it closed and sit on the garden grass.
“Mish, just shut up and listen!” I say laughing at her overreaction. She doesn’t answer.
“Management is making me date him so I can go on tour with Harry… I know I wanted to stay out of the fame light and whatever, but it’s the only way I can go, and then Luke and I are going to break up and I’m going to be left alone, just like all the non famous exes.” I say quickly to get the message across.
“… so you’re not dating him?” she asks in her confused voice. I can practically see her chewing on her nail while talking.
“Well… to the public I am, but we are actually just friends...” I explain frowning.
“You still could have told me… I was going to kill you when I saw you on twitter yesterday, and then again last night!” I laugh.
“I know…I’m sorry…” I say quietly.
“So is he a good kisser? And don’t give me that I don’t kiss and tell bullshit.” I shake my head.
“We didn’t kiss, neither of us felt comfortable.” I say looking around the garden and noting the clear sky and good weather.
“Oh… I see, you can’t relay private information!” we both start laughing.
“I miss you…I’m currently sick but you should pop round and come visit sometime…” I say smiling. “Harry and Louis miss their other little sister.”
“I’d love to! I have this week off for studying before a big set of tests next week… let me know and I come round and say hi…” I smile.
“How’s vet going?” I ask her glad we can have a catch up.
“I feel like death most days, but its… its different but good?” she says and I can hear the smile in her voice. I turn around and see Luke and Ashton knocking on the door and asking if I’m okay, I nod.
“That’s great…I’m really happy for you! Hey Mish? Uh, I’m not really meant to be outside and Luke and Ash are freaking out, I’ll message you plans for later okay?”
“Alright, get better soon Styles…Love you sista!” she says making me laugh. As she hangs up I smile and get up to go back inside.
“Everything okay?” asks Luke looking concerned as I walk in. I nod.
“Yeah, just my friend Mish called… she saw on twitter and, was, just surprised…” I explain going to sit down on the couch. He nods and comes over, leaning next to me from behind the couch.
“You want something to eat or drink?” he says quietly as we watch Ash and Mike begin to play Fifa, Mike not even letting his friend pretend to know what’s going on.
I turn to look at him and see he isn’t looking at the boys, but instead looking at me. I smile.
“I’ll get myself some water…” I say standing up as he takes a seat next to where I was. I grab a bottle of water. I get a message as I open it and start walking back to the lounge.

How you feeling? X

It was on the group the 1D boys and I had and it was from Hazza.

Better now, you on your way home?

I sit down and my phone beeps.

Yes, should be about ten minutes J

“Harry says they will be home in the next ten minutes or so…” I say to everyone as I take a seat.
No one responds so I open my twitter which I have hardly touched over the past couple of days… I’m surprised to find Claire hasn’t released my name, but then again, I don’t know how she will explain the Styles so… I click on the search bar and see a hashtag. #Luke’sGF

Most, nearly 70% of the tweets are pretty nice, complementing how happy we both look… poor idiotic sods… I laugh as I see one stating the relationship’s fake… but others are quite mean. I mean #Luke’sGF needs to go die? Gee thanks!
“Hmm… nice fans you lot got.” I say showing Luke my phone.
“Arrrgggg! I swear some of them just love tearing people a part…” He says angrily pulling out his phone and opening his twitter.
“What does it say?” asks Mikey pausing the game. I tell him about the go die one and his face turns into an expression so serious I didn’t think he was able to be that serious. Both he and Ashton pull out their phones.
“Guys, its fine… I’ve seen Harry and the guys get worse…and besides, most of them are nice…” I say instantly regretting telling them. It didn’t bother me; I know they were just attention seeking people who literally loved these boys.
“No, it’s not cool… they can’t be saying things like that!” says Ash. Out of all of the boys I think he was the angriest, he actually looked upset.
“Guys… it’s okay… really.” I say. Mikey turns to look at me.
“Then we’ll just stop it so it doesn’t get worse…” he says gently. I nod and suddenly get goose bumps all over my arms, pulling my blankets tighter around me. They sit on their phones for a bit while I sit in what feels like freezing water.
“Woah… Tasha? Are you okay?” says a very croaky voice. I look up to see Cal at the base of the stairs looking at me with concern. I nod and smile but pull myself further into my blankets.
“Do you have a fever?” he asks stepping closer and placing a hand to my forehead.
“Considering I’ve been throwing up for the past twelve hours, I’d be surprised if I didn’t.” I mumble as he pulls away and clips Luke’s head with his hand.
“Take better care of your girlfriend, she’s burning up…” he says sleepily walking into the kitchen. Luke looks at me apologetically.
“I’ll go get you a cold face cloth…” he says standing.
“It’s okay, I feel fine for now… but thank you.” I say smiling at the boy. “What are you all posting?” I ask, trying to get him to stop frowning.
“Telling people to shut the fuck up…” says Mikey not looking up.
“Same…” says Ashton.
“Guys… really its-” I am cut off by the door opening and hearing Louis call out to everyone.
“Hey! Where’s the girl?” he says laughing.
“Here!” I call back. He walks in and sees me. He pouts.
“Poor little baby…” he says coming over and hugging me from behind the couch. “This is why you should have dated Niall, he would have eaten all your food and you wouldn’t have gotten sick.”
“Don’t be an ass…” says Niall coming in behind him.
“You can’t be mean like that, Lou… it’s not Luke’s fault.” I say.
“Oh come on… I’m just joking…” he says before mumbling. “Sort of...”
“Hey sis…” I see Harry walk over and stand behind me, resting his arms on my shoulders. “How are we feeling?” he asks frowning. I smile.
“Not as bad as last night… oh and I spoke to Mish, could she come over sometime?” I ask.
He smiles.
“Of course! I miss seeing the tall munchkin!” he says fondly. I smile and stifle a yawn.
“I watched a bit of the show, how did the rest go?” I ask as he goes to sit next to Lou. They nod.
“Usual Ellen antics…” says Liam walking in. I smile.
“Oh come now Lili, let’s go call up Zayn like we do every weekend and make some jokes.” I say teasing him. He rolls his eyes.
“It’s not like I could say no and make it look like we’ve had this huge falling out…” he mumbles. I frown.
“But… you kinda have, yea?” I ask sadly. He smiles ruefully.
“Yea…” I stand up to go give him a hug. He looked sad and I knew he was missing his mate. Everyone started their own conversations and just chilled as I wrapped my arms around his upper back and rested my chin on his shoulders. He hugged me back and rested his chin on the top of my head like he always does. Liam is literally a giant teddy bear.
“You really are burning up though?” he asks as he pulls away.
“I knew it! Come on, back to bed.” I turn and laugh at Luke who stands up and points to the stairs. I don’t mean to laugh at him but it’s something I expected from Harry, not happy go lucky Luke. Ashton seconds his actions by looking at me inquisitively before pointing upstairs. I smile and shake my head.
“Ey ey captain!” I say loudly before going to grab my blanket and go upstairs.
“I can’t hear you!” Screams Ashton.
“EY EYE CAPTAIN!” I scream louder as I start the accent upstairs.
“OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH, WHOLIVESINAPINAPPLEUNDERTHESEA?” he screams back.
“SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!” the entire household screams back as I close my door beginning to laugh. I lay back down on my bed and close my eyes. Soon I feel like I’m falling as I often do before I go to bed. I jolt awake and turn over to see someone opened my door to make sure I was okay. I turn back over and try to let sleep take over. Sleep is, other than laughter, the best medicine.
