Same Eternal Pattern

CHAPTER 8

Here we are. Where exactly? No idea. In the middle of nowhere and everywhere. There was a little forest in one side and the beach in the other. Don't ask me how it's that even possible but it is actually where we are. The chirping of the birds are heard all around the place and the wind whistled through the leaves and branches of the trees around us. The five hours road trip has been worth it because this place is absolutely amazing. It was Niall's idea coming here. I didn't even know this place existed, but we had to find a place to go and Niall thought about this place, so here we are.

The five of us in one car has been an interesting experience, to be honest. Louis was driving and to ease the tension between Liam and Zayn, Zayn took the passenger seat. We knew this trip was due to these two, but we didn't want to force anything. So, I took the middle backseat, and I had Niall on my left and Liam on my right. It would've been nice if: one, I wouldn't have gotten the middle seat, which I hate. And two, Niall would've shut his mouth for one minute straight.

Among the silence radiating from Liam and the loud laughs from Niall, I could witness he nonstop chattering between Louis and Zayn. They have gotten along very quickly since the very first rehearsal, and I was happy about it. Not at all jealous. Not at all.

Music accompanied us all the trip, and to be honest, we sounded sick together. When a known song was on the radio, we all sang it together harmonizing each other. We messed around too, and it was fun when Niall started to play an invisible guitar. His excitement was contagious, and I started playing my invisible drums. To be honest, I got a little coy when I felt a pair of eyes on me, and I realized that Louis was looking at me through the rear-view. We were all pretty loose by the third hour of the road trip and I realized at every song we sang together that we blend in perfectly. We were one.

The spot we chose to pitch the tents was in the forest, nearly five minutes from the beach. I'm wearing my furry jacket, a scarf, and a beanie, and even though all the layers of cloth, I'm still freezing my ass off. I've had to remove my gloves to pitch the tents, so we've gotten one already up, and the triumph was thanks to Niall and Liam. Needless to say, that the tents that were addressed to the rest of us were a really different matter.

-That one is on top. - Louis shouted to Zayn pointing to the stick he was holding.

-No, it's not. This one is obviously the one that makes the base of the tent.

-Bullshit. Don't you see its shape?

-What?- Zayn keeps talking but I refuse to get in the argument. Rolling my eyes, I turn to the other guys checking how they are doing. They already had the structure of its second one made.

-Hey.- I greet nodding my head to them.

-Hi.- They both say simultaneously. -We can see you three are doing a great job over there. -Liam says jokingly.

-Yeah,- I huff.- They are the dream.

-Once we're done, we will help you.- Niall offers nudging my arm.

-Yes, please. -I say chuckling and coming back to Louis and Zayn who they remain as I left them. Arguing.
