Something Strange - One Direction

Chapter Two ~

I slept in the worst position you could ever think of. My back bent out across the bodies of the boys. They tossed and turned and yelled in their sleep. Including Liam. So Ella and I grew scared and worried and Ella thought it would be funny to sit on them to calm them down. The odd thing about it was they didn't even wake after our weight was on top of them. They seemed to calm down and Ella fell asleep on Niall's back. I fell asleep with my legs perched across Louis' legs and Harry's bum and my face squashed up against Zayn's arm. I was in a more awful state then Ella was. 

Once I had woken, I cracked my back in many ways that didn't seem to hurt. Ella sat at the bench, cracking her neck and eating her cereal sleepily. "Mornin'." She said groggily through a mouthful of cereal.

"Morning," I replied. "They're all still sleeping."

"So peacefully too." Ella became more awake and aware of what we were talking about.

"What went on? They were literally out of control in their sleep. Louis, Harry, Zayn and Niall never ended up waking up." I said, grabbing a bowl and cereal.

"I don't know, I didn't really get a word out of Liam. He kind of just crashed on my lap." Ella coffed a soft laugh. 

Suddenly, a gurgly laugh sounded from the lounge room and Ella and I grew silent instantly.

Louis' voice began muttering and Ella jumped off the bench, walking slowly towards the door frame of the lounge room. She leaned against the door frame, watching him wipe his salive of Zayn's knee.

Ella couldn't help but laugh lightly, causing Louis to jolt in his place and flick his head in her direction instantly in fright. "Louis, it's just me." Ella said.

Louis' eyes grew wide in fright and Ella grew confused, as did I.

"Lou, what's wrong? It's just us." I said, allowing my slippers to drag along the ground as I moved closer towards him.

"Where's the forest?" He muttered, his eyes wondering the room.

"In the wo- what? Okay, you need some water." I said, puzzled. I grabbed his arm and he allowed me to lead him to the kitchen. Ella rushed to grab a glass and I filled it up, passing it to Louis cautiously. He took a big gulp and proceeded to keep drinking. Ella entered the lounge room as she heard the other boys wake up.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"How did I get here?" Louis said as he put the glass down. 

"I-I came to get you. Liam called me last night and I picked you up. Sounded urgent so me and Ella were quick." I explained, pressing my palm on his forehead.

"Urgent? Did you see the light too?" Louis gushed.

"N-no, Lou, I saw no light." I stammered nervously.

"We all saw it. How did you not?" Louis' hand held the back of mine and I took a step back.

"Ella and I weren't with you." I reminded him.

"Oh, that's right." Louis said, letting go of me.

Ella entered the kitchen with Niall walking beside her, rubbing his eyes tiredly like nothing was going on. I felt his forehead and my eyes widened. "Niall, you've got a temperature."

"I do?" Niall turned around as he drank out of the same glass Louis had been.

"A bloody high one too." Ella said as she removed her hand from his forehead.

Harry waddled into the kitchen along with Liam and I walked towards the two of them, feeling both of their foreheads. Normal temperature. What the hell, Niall?
