"Honey! I'm home!" Louis barges in the flat.

I tear my eyes away from my laptop screen. "Shh!" I hush him.

"What?" Louis asks even louder.

I grab a pillow off the couch and toss it at his head. "Be quiet! Niall's sleeping." I point to the blond haired boy on the other couch.

Niall was helping me shop online, but then he fell asleep watching tv. It's been six hours since we made our little deal. I'm not sure how it's going to work. I want to see if it will, though. It's touching that he wants to help me.

"Why is he here?" Zayn looks over the couch at Niall.

"He was helping me shop online." I explain going back to my laptop.

I'm not shopping for my bedroom anymore. I've got everything I wanted. Some things I didn't really need. Now I'm shopping at Hot Topic. I need some new clothes. I put another pair of skinny jeans in my shopping bag online.

"Guess what, Natalie?!" Louis plops on the couch next to me.

"What?" I ask him not looking away from my laptop. I need a new pair of sunglasses.

"You have to guess!" Louis says.

I look at Louis next to me. "You're pregnant?" I joke.

Louis's jaw drops open. "Hazza, she knows our secret!" He yells to Harry, who is in the kitchen.

"Would you shut up?" I smack Louis on the arm. "Niall is sleeping."

"Ow!" Louis rubs his arm.

"Don't hurt my Boobear." Harry walks over and cradles Louis's head.

I swear if Louis didn't have a girlfriend, Harry and him would most definitely be gay together. No doubt about it. The girls at LFAA used to call their bromance something. I forgot what it was.

"Are you going to tell me?" I buy a black pair of sunglasses.

"Oh, right!" Louis pulls himself out of Harry's arms. "We're having a pajama party!" He screams.

"Louis, I swear if you wake Niall up I am going to hurt you!" I point my finger at him.

"Someone got close to Niall when we were gone." Liam steps in the room smirking.

"No, I would be saying the same thing if it was one of you." I tell them.

"Sure." Harry chuckles.

"Go get in your pajamas!" Louis snatches the laptop away from me.

"Hey!" I reach for it.

"No!" Louis jumps off the couch. "You can have this back when we are all in our pajamas."

I narrow my eyes at Louis. "Fine. Can you at least click purchase for me?"

Louis glances at the screen with a slight smile on his face. "I can do that."

He is up to something. Good thing I didn't log onto my Twitter. Wouldn't want him to hack me. I take on last look at Niall sleeping on the couch and head to my room. I push open my bedroom door and step in. I grab my phone from my back pocket and scroll through my music playlist.

Beautiful People by Chris Brown blares throughout my room.

I jump and dance around not caring that the guys are on the other side of the wall. Music and dancing helps me get away. I dance over to my closet looking for some pajamas. I grab a pair of splatter paint pajama bottoms and a blue tank top. I slip on my brown Uggs to keep my feet warm.

The song changes to Skyscraper by Demi Lovato. I walk over to my keyboard and turn it on. I lower the volume on my phone a little.

"Skies are crying, I am watching

Catching tear drops in my hands

Only silence as it's ending

Like we never had a chance

Do you have to make me feel like

There's nothing left of me?"

I sing along and play the right keys. This was one of the first songs I learned on the keyboard.

"You can take everything I have

You can break everything I am

Like I'm made of glass

Like I'm made of paper

Go on and try to tear me down

I will be rising from the ground

Like a skyscraper

Like a skyscraper"

"As the smoke clears, I awaken

And untangle you from me

Would it make you feel better

To watch me while I bleed?

All my windows still are broken

But I'm standing on my feet"

I close my eyes and lose myself in the music. I sing the rest of the song forgetting all my problems. My fingers glide over the keyboard with ease, never messing up. Singing is like a second nature to me. Dancing being the first. They both come so easily to me.

"Like a skyscraper." I finish.

"Did you hear that?" I hear someone whisper from the other side of my door.

I stand up quietly and shut off my keyboard. I tiptoe over to my bedroom door and press my ear against it.

"She's incredible." I hear Harry whisper.

"I told you guys Nat was good." Zayn joins the conversation. "We used to sing all the time when we were younger."

I place my hand on the doorknob. Feet pound on the the floor outside my door. I open the door and watch the guys jump on the couch trying to act naturally. What goofballs. I laugh to myself while stepping out in the corridor. I make my way to the living room to see the guys sprawled out on the couches.

Harry and Louis are on one couch. Zayn is sitting on the floor, pretending to text on his phone. Liam and Niall are on the other couch with a small space in between them.

"Hey, don't your fans call you Larry Stylinson?" I remember.

"Their called Directioners." Harry corrects me.

I put my hands up. "My bad. I thought you were going to change in your pajamas?" I ask Louis standing in front of the tv.

"We were just about to go." Louis jumps off the couch heading for the door. Harry, Liam, and Niall follow behind him.

I nudge Zayn's leg with my foot. "Go get in your pajamas. We can't have a pajama party if you're not in pajamas."

Zayn looks up at me. "Are you okay?"

"Are you going to be asking me that everyday?" I frown.

"I'm just making sure. I don't want you to go back to being depressed." Zayn stands up.

"I'm fine." I smile up at my brother. "Now go change." I shove him towards his room.

Zayn heads for his room. "Niall is a good person." He turns around. "If you're worried about trusting him, don't. He wouldn't hurt a fly. Neither would any of the other guys. If you were to trust anyone, it would be them. They won't let anything happen to you."

"I'm slowly learning that." I reply.

Author's Note:

Hello my dear fans! Or if you're not a fan, hello anyways. I know this story might seem kind if boring. (or it might just be me that thinks that.) This story will get better. Natalie will start trusting the guys and then the fun will be begin. There will be a run in with Katie and Glen soon.

So, tell me what you think. In order to do that, you MUST comment below. I don't get as many comments as I wish I did on here. Just tell me your opinion. That's all I ask. Unless you want to write a huge paragraph. Then go for it!

I'm going to stop rambling now. There is a very good chance that none if you will read this and I wrote all of this for nothing. But if you are reading this, comment below so I know I did this for a reason.

Thank you guys! :D
