If You Let Me Know... [N.H.]

5. With A Little Help From My Friends

What was I thinking about? Why on Earth did I think asking the members of the world's most famous boyband to help me build up my room was a good idea?

"You're putting it wrong, Niall" Zayn says taking the piece of wood Niall has on his hands and turning it around.

"Has anyone seen the 101356 screws?" Liam asks making Harry laugh.

"1 - 0 - 1 - 3 - 5 - 6 screws" he mocks him as he tries to fit two pieces of wood together.

"Are you comfortable, Tommo?" Liam says sarcastically to Louis, who is seated on a pile of carton boxes with his legs crossed.

"Not really, there's something on my bum that is..."

"It's the 101646 screws!" Harry shouts with a fake deep voice and what seems like a horrible Swedish accent, making us all laugh.

We've been here for an hour already and I don't even have the bed built up but we surely are having fun. The boys have taken really well the fact that I am staying for the whole school year and they've been bombing me with plans to do during the next months.

It's weird being all together again; specially because I know they're here for me. When they are in London, they don't spend much time together. They all have their families and friends around the UK so the time they're here they spend it with the people they don't see when they're away on tour. For them it is a bit of a strange thing to see each other this much just for the mere fact of hanging out, not because they have an event to attend, or some interview to give or a show to perform in.

"Well, we should start thinking about preparing the barbecue" Niall says looking at his mobile phone.

"I'm finishing this" Harry says without even looking up.

"Why don't you go ahead and start it?" Liam proposes, "We'll join you as soon as this is done"

"Liam takes his job very seriously" Louis sassily says getting up.

Zayn is also building up the shelves so Niall and Louis leave and we promise them we'll be at Niall's in two hours.

"Don't be late!" Louis shouts before him and Niall head out.

I walk back to the bedroom with the rest of the boys.

"Why do I have the feeling we're gonna get everything done now?" Zayn jokes and the rest of us laugh.

And he is not mistaken. In twenty minutes, he is finished with the shelves, Liam and I have done the bed, the desk is also ready and Harry has proudly built up the nightstands.

"All right, time to put everything in its place" I say and I hear the door opening.

"Hello?" a feminine voice asks from the front door.

"It's my new roommate" I say to the boys, "Hi!" I shout, "Second door on the right as you go up the stairs!"

I hear some footsteps and then someone knocks on my door.

"It's open! I can't really open it myself!"

Finally the door opens and a girl smiles at me.

"Sorry about that, I was a little busy with..." I point with my chin at the shelves I'm carrying.

"No worries" she smiles, "Do you need help with that?" she asks taking her jacket off and opening the door wide.

Her expression changes immediately as she sees my helpers.
