Getting The Direction Back In One Direction

Making Promises

"Who's there?" a voice called from inside, sounding muffled and almost broken. 

"It's Emily Devine," I called back, trying to the shock appearing on my face. I heard footsteps and a deadbolt sliding before Liam peeked his head out and ushered me inside. 

"What are you doing here?" he asked, his voice scratchy with bags under his eyes, the same look he had when he and Danielle broke up. 

"Josh said you guys were on a break so I decieded to come and say hi!" I smiled, making him scrunch his eyebrows in confusion as we sat down on the couch in his apartment. 

"You mean he didn't tell you?" he asked, looking confused but also sorta relieved. 

"Tell me what?" I lied, internally wincing. 

"Nothing, Nothing, How have you been Em?" he asked, studying me. 

"Pretty good, what about you?" I asked, hoping he would just dish it out already. 

"I've been... Ok I guess," he said slowly, looking down. 

"Why just ok?" I asked, genuinely worried about him. 

"Well, you see, One Direction, isn't exactly- never mind I don't want to dump that on you the first day your here, what do you wanna do?" he asked, changing the subject. 

"I don't know I just thought we'd catch up and stuff," I replied leaning back slightly. 

"Right..." he trailed off. 

"Well this is awkward," I laughed causing him to crack a smile. "Woah!" 

"What?" he asked, clearly confused. 

"You just smiled, for the first time I've been here, what's going on usually you're always smiling!" I stated hitting him lightly with a pillow. 

"But I'm tired!" he whined hitting me back. 

"Thats why you shouldn't stay up all night, get it? Up all night! Never mind wanna watch a movie?" 

"What movie?" 

"Toy story," we both said at the same time smiling 

"I'LL GET THE POPCORN!" I yelled as I ran towards the kitchen. 

"I'LL GET SOME BLANKETS AND PUT THE MOVIE IN!" Liam yelled back as I stuck some popcorn in the microwave and grabbed some bowls and some parmesan cheese. 

When it beeped I quickly grabbed the bag... "HOLY SHIZ IT'S HOT AHHHH LIAM HELP ME!" I screamed dramatically. He ran into the kitchen wearing a cape blanket and grabbed the popcorn bag and poured it in the bowls while I fake swooned. "My hero!" I squealed and hugged him while he did the awkward hero pose before we both burst out laughing.  

"That's Louis' thing," I joked, pushing him slightly, his eyes flashed in what I guessed was being upset before going back. 

Yeah we're more brother and sister than anything else. I quickly sprinkled some cheese in my bowl and ran into the living room and laid on the couch before Liam came in. He saw me sitting on the couch and grinned evilly, walking over to me slowly. 

"Liam... What are you doing?" I asked cautiously. 

"Nothin..." he trailed off before he sat on me and wouldn't get up. 

"Liam!" I screamed, laughing, making him look at me innocently and wave. "Get your butt off of me!" I laughed as I tried pushing him off me. 

"Nahhhh," he smiled as he started the movie, I started fake crying, which I guess was pretty believable since he started flipping out and hopped off of me, and pulled me in a hug.
