Chapter 2 – Introductions….
No P.O.V
*1 hour later*
Kirsty had fallen asleep as Liam stroked her long multi-coloured hair and sung to her softly.
“Are we going to talk about what we’re going to about the whole Becky situation?" Niall asked.
“Yes,” Louis spat, “Please let’s.”
“Lou,” Zayn sighed, “We can’t go rushing into this. You know what Kirsty is like, she’ll freak out if she knows we did anything, anything at all, even if it was something small.”
“I know,” Louis whined, “But I just really don’t like to see her hurt.”
“None of us do Boo,” Harry soothed pulling his older but shorter boyfriend into his arms, “It physically hurt me earlier when I heard the self-loathing in her voice when she started to talk about her Uncle and when she started crying.”
“That hurt us all mate,” Liam spoke up while still stroking her long multi-coloured hair.
“Wait a minute,” Niall smiled, “I have an idea.”
They waited a few moments for him to continue before they realised that he wasn’t going to continue with his thought process.
“Well?” Louis asked impatiently tapping his foot on the floor from his cocoon inside Harry’s warm loving arms.
“Well what?” Niall replied.
“Your idea Niall,” Zayn sighed rubbing his forehead, “You said you had an idea.”
“Oh yeah,” Niall crowed, “Well we could….”
*30 minutes later*
After discussing the idea turned plan every single one of them had large smiles on their faces.
“So that’s settled then,” Louis smiled.
“Yep,” Harry beamed, “Even management have approved of it.”
“She’s gonna be so excited,” Zayn grinned.
They all nodded in agreement and kept goofy smiles on their faces.
“It’s gonna be ace,” Liam hummed still running his hand through her long multi-coloured hair.
They all nodded their heads in agreement once again with the same goofy smiles on their faces. Those goofy smiles turned to worried frowns soon enough as the girl currently curled up sleeping with her head on Liam’s lap suddenly shifted and whimpered in her sleep. Liam made a small shushing noise and continued to run his fingers through her long multi-coloured hair. When she continued to whimper and shift around in her sleep he kept his fingers running through the long multi-coloured locks while he hummed. After humming for a minute or two he started to sing softly. He glanced up at the rest of the boys after a few seconds of singing alone and stared at them expectantly. They understood what he wanted straight away and started to sing along with him. The five singing boys seemed to calm her down as she stopped shifting around and whimpering and instead made a happy sounding sigh and a content smile played on her lips. They continued to sing for another five minutes until four of the five boys stopped singing and just smiled softly at two of their very best friends.
*40 minutes later*
A loud knock on the door interrupted the comfortable silence that had spread around the room as everyone thought and worried about the girl most of them saw as a sister. They glanced at her to see if the knock had disturbed her at all as she was a very light sleeper and would wake up to the sound of a pin dropping. It was true; they’d even tested it once.
“She must be so exhausted,” Niall whispered.
“It really does make me wonder, you know?” Louis sighed, ran his hand down his face and continued his train of thought when they looked at him confused, “How much sleep she’s been getting at night.”
Harry bit his lip to try and stop the tears glistening in his eyes from falling down his face. Liam looked down at her and continued to run his fingers through her long multi-coloured locks while still singing to her quietly. Zayn looked down at his folded hands. Niall frowned and his shoulders slumped in sadness. Louis sighed and closed his eyes to stop the stinging sensation that usually appeared with the threat of tears.
“Well lads,” Louis clapped his hands together after shaking himself from his thoughts, “We have visitors so let’s put these thoughts to the back of our minds and we’ll talk to her about it later, yeah?”
He received nods in return and he nodded too to show that he was serious.
“Come in,” Louis called towards the door and spoke once again as the door opened and their visitors stepped into the room, “Hey, sorry about that. We just had something to sort out first.”
“It’s fine,” One of their visitors spoke up, “We’re just happy to be here honestly.”
“Right, introductions even though we’ve met before but it seems like the right thing to do,” Louis rambled, “Lads get your lazy arses up!”
“Sir, yes, sir,” Niall, Zayn and Harry all stood up in sync and saluted.
“Alright you cheeky sods there’s no need to show off,” Louis pouted.
“Sir, yes, sir,” They once again saluted Louis before laughing at the ‘why me?’ expression on his face.
“Harry at your service,” Harry bowed.
“I’m Zayn,” Zayn rolled his eyes at his dramatic friend. He swears that Harry’s been taking lessons from Louis in the lesson of how to be an overdramatic asshole.
“Niall, nice t’ meet ya,” Niall drawled.
“And now that these three losers have introduced themselves,” Louis boomed which caused said three losers to roll their eyes, “I am Louis, king of the world.”
Harry, Zayn and Niall all groaned together, “No you’re not you pretentious twat.”
Louis pouted and grumbled something about never being appreciated which made one of their guests giggle. All eyes turned to the source of the giggle and the giggler rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.
“Sorry,” He blushed a little bit, “I’m George.”
Louis, Zayn, Niall and Harry smiled over at him and then smiled at their other three guests who were looking and smiling at George fondly.
One of the three shook themselves away from their thoughts and turned to the four boys smiling at him and his bandmates, “I’m Jaymi.”
“I’m Josh,” Jaymi’s voice seemed to snap the other two boys out of their daze.
“And I’m JJ,” He held his hand out to shake theirs.
“Not to be rude or anything but,” George bit his lip, “Aren’t you missing one?”
“Not exactly,” Harry answered honestly, “He’s here but he’s probably just ignoring us all.”
“Why?” JJ asked.
“Doesn’t that bother you?” Josh questioned a second after JJ’s question.
“Nah,” Niall replied, “We understand, besides we do it to him too.”
“So is the singing coming from him?” Jaymi asked since they’d heard a voice singing since they’d entered the room and were curious to see where it was coming from.
The new arrivals were unable to see Liam from where they were standing because of Liam’s four other bandmates blocking their view of him.
“Yeah, he’ll stop in a minute though,” Zayn replied.
“We actually also have someone else to introduce you to,” Louis smiled, “She’s the reason why Liam is singing and ignoring us all.”
They all nodded in understanding.
“Liam,” Louis called spinning around to face Liam which encouraged the other boys in the room to do the same, “Li, you need to introduce yourself and we need to wake her up.”
“No Lou,” Liam refused shaking his head, “You know we can’t do that, she’ll kill us all.”
“She wouldn’t, would she?” Josh asked warily.
“No,” Louis laughed, “Of course not. Liam is just over exaggerating.”
“Yes she would,” Louis’ other four bandmates chorused.
“Guys I’m trying to not scare them away before they even meet her,” He grumbled through gritted teeth.
“Oops we,” Harry started.
“Are sorry,” Niall continued.
“Lou we,” Zayn smirked.
“Really are,” Liam finished.
The Union J boys laughed at the exasperation on Louis’ face while the One Direction boys grinned mischievously at Louis.
“Well,” Louis cleared his throat, “Whether she kills us all or not we need to wake her up.”
He shared a wide eyed wary look with the rest of his boys.
“So who volunteers?” He asked, “I’m definitely not.”
Niall, Zayn and Harry each took a step back and shook their heads vigorously while trying to push each other forwards so they wouldn’t have to wake her up at all. Don’t get them wrong, they all love her deeply and see her as a sister but she is a pain in the ass when you try to wake her up and she gets seriously violent.
One time before One Direction and the X Factor Louis had tried to wake her up once when she’d had a sleepover bonanza (as she and his little sisters liked to call them) at his house with his little sisters and she managed to hit him around the face, punch him in the stomach, kick him in the balls and then kick him in the back all before he realised what had happened. Once she was fully conscious and awake she didn’t remember what she’d done and she jumped on him to hug him but she ended up kneeing him in his already very aggravated balls.
The four boys shared looks before an idea hit them at the same time and they turned back to where Liam had gone back to ignoring everyone in the room once again and stroking Kirsty’s long multi-coloured hair and singing to her soothingly.
The three of them grinned evilly and cackled, “Liiiiiii….”
“What?” He snapped at them making sure to keep his voice down so he didn’t disturb the sleeping girl on his lap.
“You’ve just volunteered yourself to wake her up,” Louis grinned evilly.
The evil grins soon slid off of their faces as Liam just shrugged nonchalantly looking like he wasn’t bothered that he was going to be the one to wake her and that he was probably going to be hurt by her violent hands.
“Aren’t you gonna protest?” Harry pouted.
“Why would I?” Liam asked feeling genuinely confused by their actions and the startled and horrified looks they were giving him.
“Maybe because you know how she is whenever someone tries to wake her up?” Niall answered the question with another question.
“Lads,” Liam soothed reassuringly, “I’ve got this down to an art by now.”
“Are you sure Li?” Zayn replied warily, “You know that even her family isn’t capable of waking her up at close range? Hell they stand at the other side of the room from her sleeping form and either shout her name or shout at her until she stirs.”
“Oh I know,” Liam shrugged, “But trust me lads. I have my own special ways of waking her up so she doesn’t do anything or get violent.”
The One Direction boys all nodded warily before stepping away from the sofa and they watched as Liam never paused in his stroking of Kirsty’s long multi-coloured hair and he leaned down so his mouth was right by her ear.
“Kirsty, it’s time to wake up,” Liam whispered lowly, making sure to keep his voice extra quiet so no one could hear his words in the otherwise silent room, “Kirst, come on. We have some people we want you to meet. They’re another band like us; I think you’ll like them. C’mon babe, I promise we can cuddle later. All six of us can cuddle later on if that’s what you really want.”
Kirsty moved a little to look up at him and groaned, “Really?”
The other four One Direction boys seeing her stir all tensed and waited for the violence only to watch in stunned silence with wide eyes and open mouths as there wasn’t any violence from their favourite girl.
“Really, really,” Liam chuckled and watched with a happy smile as a wide smile spread across her pretty pale pink lips and onto her face at his words.
“So who’s this band? I mean I’ve already met McFly, The Vamps, The Script, Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys, and so many more,” She rambled, “Who else do you want me to meet? How many more can there be?”
“There are so many more but I really think you’ll like them and get on with them,” Liam answered smiling.
“Kirst this is….” Louis’ voice trailed off as she turned to face them all.
