Chapter 4 Part 2: Hard Times

Liam's POV

BadLuckLepercaun: do you mind if my mates come along?

PayneTrain: I told you to tell me who to hang out with so if they are the ones I should hang out with then I don't see the problem. As long as they aren't jackasses or anything

BadLuckLepercaun: haha no Louis might seem like it at first but they r all cool once u get 2 know them

PayneTrain: alright cool I'm gonna get some shut eye but I'll see you tomorrow

BadLuckLepercaun: see u tomorrow

After I finished talking to Niall I got up off of the couch and left my dad to try and hook up the tv on his own. When my parents said my mom would be making money I had no idea it was this kind of money. This place is a mansion, literally! The high doors at the entrance, the large staircase that is so wide it's unbelievable, the huge kitchen, large living room, lounge room, basement that looks like a man cave, three stories high, 5 bedrooms, a bathroom for each bedroom, two half-baths, an office with a huge library, the backyard is gigantic, and there is so so much more! I walked up my stairs to my bedroom that has a balcony but not the best view, it's just the side of the neighbors house. I closed the door to get changed. I pulled off shirt and threw it into my basket, then my pants, then I slid off my boxers and threw them in the basket as well. Then I heard something, "Holy shit!"

I looked over out my window and saw... Niall? And three other guys looking at me. I jumped over to my bed and grabbed the comforter to cover myself. "Shit! Uh... God I'm so sorry! I just... I just realized that you live next door and the boys all jumped up to look over, and yeah. I'm sorry." He looked really flustered and his checks were turning a reddish, pinkish color.

I wrapped my comforter around my waist and held it there and walked out into the balcony. "Well this is a great first impression." I laughed to cut the tension. The three other guys laughed as well while Niall scratched the back of his neck. "I'm Liam." I said with a smile.

"Zayn." He had black hair styled up in a quiff, with tan skin and a fit body. He looked really good, not as good as Niall but he still looked good. Did I really just think that? God there is something wrong with me.

"I'm Harry!" He was chirpy, he had curly brown hair that was pushed to the side and looked really good. He also had green eyes a large smile, and he was kinda tall.

"And I'm Louis." He had sandy brown hair, he was kind of short, he had a smirk that looked like he was up to no good, and he also had really nice blue eyes. Again not as nice as Niall's but nice none the less.

"Well it's nice to met you guys. This is a bit awkward and I should really get back to getting changed. Zayn, Harry, Louis," I glanced over at Niall, "Niall. I guess I'll be seeing you guys tomorrow."

"Yeah, 10."

"Right, well goodnight." I gave them a smile and looked over at Niall he seem to be checking me out. But I couldn't really be sure. I walked back in my room and this time draped the curtains back, while Niall and the guys walked back into what I assume is his room. I threw the blanket back on the bed and pulled on some boxers.

I layed down in bed and faced the balcony, both Niall and I have white curtains so I can see he still has his light on. Which means he can see I have mine on as well. I leaned over and turned of the light on the night stand. Leaving it dark expect for the light coming from his room. This is so odd. I start talking to the guy three days ago, I see him for the first time a day ago (over a computer screen), I move to his town today (right next door), the first time we see each other in person he catches me naked, and now I can see the shadows coming from his room. I feel like a creeper just staring at their shadows. They must be walking around or something, and I looks like one of them is pacing, while the others seem to be trying to clam him down.

I watched him pace back and forth for a while, then another one of them came up to him and put their hands on his shoulder, it looked like they were lightly shaking them while giving him a speech. I kind of think it's Niall that's freaking out. This is the weirdest thing to ever happen, he probably thinks I'm some stalker or something. I know if the roles were reversed I would think that of him.

I saw the one that had been pacing strip off their shirt and get into the bed, now that had to of been Niall because the others seemed to not even come close to the bed. The light turned off to leave both his room and my room in complete darkness. I started to drift off after a few minutes of starting in the direction of Niall's room, but I couldn't see anything so I decided to give in to my sleep.

I woke up at eight in the morning the sun was shining in through the windows, which wasn't a bad thing to wake up. It lit the room in an amazing bright shade of yellow streaming in through the curtains. It brought a huge smile to my face, this house is much nicer than my old house. Yes, I do miss my friends, and life style back home but I think I could get used to this.

I got out of bed with so much energy. I went into my bathroom, that by the way is huge, it has a separate bath and shower, a sitting area, and a large mirror right above a double sink. It is super fancy but not to fancy. Niall didn't tell me he was rich, and well he must be because his house is the biggest on the block. I took off my boxers and jumped into the shower. I scrubbed the shampoo inti my hair then grabbed my soap to lather my body. After I finished rinsing out my hair and off my body I turned off the shower and dried myself off before wrapping my towel loosely around my waist. I decided not to do anything with my hair or shave my face, I didn't feel like today was going to be one of those days.

I walked back into my room and was just about to pick out some clothes when I heard an Irish accent calling my name coming from out side. God I love his voice. That was weird, but its true I've never heard an Irish accent before and I really like it. I walked over to the doors leading to the balcony and opened the curtains. I saw Niall leaning out on his balcony, I opened the door and walked outside (still just in my towel). He was wearing a white t-shirt and black skinny jeans. His hair didn't look like he styled it today but just pushed it to the side and left it there, so we both decided not to make ourselves look like we tried to hard. You could tell by the way that his hair sat that he really wasn't a natural blonde, his dark roots were show quite obviously but it looked really good. He didn't even bother dying the side of his head, it seemed to short to dye it anyways.

"Hey, the guys were going to come along but they just remembered they have this huge essay to do so they won't be able to make it."

"And you don't have an essay to do?" He chuckled.

"Nah, they have a different English class. So it will just be you and me... if that's alright." he sounded a bit nervous.

"Yeah. I just have to get dressed and eat breakfast with my parents."

"Well I'm ready, and I thought if you were up to it, we could just go ahead early and grab some breakfast? I know this really good cafe, and well it would give us some more time to get to know each other."

"Yeah, alright. Let me just get dressed."

"Okay, I'll come over right now." He walked back inside. I decided not to even close my curtains since he wasn't in his room, and I went to pick out my clothes. I settled for blue jeans, a white t-shirt, a grey sweater with no sleeves, and a grey beanie. I pulled on some grey vans and made my way out to go down the stairs. Then I heard the bell ring. I made my way down the stairs just in time to see my mum open the door.

"Niall! I didn't know you lived in Doncaster." she opened the door wide silently letting him in.

"Yeah, I've lived here since I was 12." He smiled brightly at her.

"We'll I'm very happy Liam already has friends in town." She smiled and looked over to me, "oh, Liam. Good morning, are you and Niall going out?"

"Yeah, we're going to get some breakfast. Then I'm going to show him around town for the day, if that's alright with you of course." Niall answered before I could even open my mouth. He is certainly smooth with parents, I can already tell mum loves him.

"Of course. And anyways we haven't gotten any food in the fridge yet so there is no breakfast waiting for you." She smiled at Niall then looked over at me.

"Alright mum, I'll be back later." I gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before walking out with Niall.

"Alright well I hope you like to eat a lot because I sure do." We laughed and jumped into his car. Now I'm not a car person, but I can tell and expensive car from a cheap one and this sure is not a cheap car.

"You didn't tell me you were rich." Niall laughed, his laugh is amazing it makes it seem like the whole world is perfect and there is not a problem to worry about.

"Well neither did you." He glanced over at me while he pulled out of the drive way.

"This is a whole new level of money for me. One day I'm waking up in a regular two story house to find out we're moving. Then I come to find out that my mum gets a huge job with a lot of money, and her boss gives her enough money for her to buy this huge mansion! I'm not sure if she is even a lawyer anymore, or if my parents are hit men and got big money out of it." Niall started cracking up, I was kind of worried what if he swerved off the road?

"Well I hate to break it to ya, but your mum doesn't look like she could be capable of that. And anyways the only firm in town is huge, I'm not surprised she got a lot of money from it. They probably thought she was good enough to buy her off from her old job, they've done it before."

"How do you know?"

"My dad owns the law firm." He stated it like it was the most normal thing on earth.

"Why would my mum and dad just decide to move in next door to my mums boss?"

"Well my dad doesn't meet new employees until they won their first case, so I assume they didn't know. Anyways we're here." Niall pulled into the parking lot outside of the cafe. We got out of the car and walked into the doors, I was to busy enjoying the smell to see that the girl standing at the door was Niall's girlfriend. Niall walked over to her and gave her a kiss, that's when I noticed her. "Hey love." He kissed her again.

"So this is why you couldn't hang out today? You wanted to hang out with your new friend?"

"Yeah. Liam, Kendra. Kendra, Liam." He introduced us since we didn't exactly get an introduction.

"Hi, sorry about the other day. I was a little... upset with Niall after a misunderstanding."

"Oh, it's fine. I'm not quick to judgements." I waved it off.

She smiled at me and directed us to a booth, and gave us two menus, "alright, well a waitress will be on their way."

"Your girlfriend works at the cafe?" it was more of a statement than a question.

"Yeah, well not everyone has rich parents. So do you know what school you're going to?" he changed the subject quickly like it was a tough subject.

"I can't remember the name but it's a couple blocks from our street."

"Cool we go to the same school! That's awesome, then you can get to know the guys tomorrow. And not when you're naked." My cheeks turned a shade of red. "Sorry about that by the way. To be honest I never closed my curtains, but no one ever stayed in that room even when we did have neighbors. They were just a young couple with no kids so I suspect there was no need for the room."

"Yeah, it's fine. I should have realized that there could be someone who might see me. Wasn't exactly my smartest moment." We laughed and looked at the menus to figure out what we want.

"I don't really know what's good here."

"Yeah, to be honest I have gotten the same breakfast for years so I can't really tell you what's good."

"Well what do you get?"

"The breakfast heart attack. It's not as much as it sounds." I looked at the menu and found the breakfast heart attack, it has four pancakes, three pieces of bacon and sausage, hash browns, two eggs, two pieces of toast, and it came with a muffin of your choosing.

"You think this is not much? I can barely eat two pancakes without getting full."

"Well I do eat a lot. I guess it's the perfect amount for me."

I laughed, "what just for breakfast or the whole week?"

"Ha ha, well what are you going to get then? I'm paying so pick what you like."

"And who said I didn't want to pay?"

"Well I was the one that suggested that we go out to eat, so its only fair."

"Well I'm only agreeing to this because I have seemed to of forgotten my wallet."

"Alright then its agreed anything you want."

A waitress came up to us and started speaking, "Niall, made a new friend?"

"Yeah, Janet, this is Liam. Liam, Janet." Janet must have been in her late 20s. She was very pretty long black hair, brown eyes, she was kind of short, but she seemed to be quite tired. Must be from working.

"Hi, it's nice to meet you. Niall doesn't really bring people here unless they are a part of his gang."

I jokingly raised my eye brows, "gang?" Niall gave another one of his beautiful laughs.

"She means the boys. And trust me I could never be apart of a gang, I'm to warm hearted for that kind of stuff."

"So are you boys ready to order? Niall, I assume you want the usual?"

"Of course. And I'll have a coke with that."

"I'll have the same, but Pepsi." She wrote down our order, then she told us our food will be on its way and she was just getting our drinks.

"So is this how you met Kendra?"

"No, actually I met her on the first day of high school. Asked her out that day, and we've been together ever since."

"Wow, that's a long time. I can barely keep a girl longer than a night. But to be honest I never tried to keep a girl longer than a night."

"Ahh, so you're one of those guys?"

"No, it's just when you're at a party and you're pretty wasted you seem to get more confident with girls. I've just never found a girl that I would want to date."

"Yeah, I thought I was going to be like that when I got into high school. But then Kendra came along, and come on she's to beautiful to pass up."

"Well I wouldn't know. I'm not into other guy's girls, not my thing there's just to much drama with it." Janet came with our drinks and we said thank you. Then I spoke up again, "so what exactly do we have planed?"

"Uhh, well there isn't much to do. I just figured I'd take you here and eat some. Then we could go back to my place and hang out. There isn't really any hang out spots, we just go to the party's which isn't happening tonight."

"Alright. Is there anyone I have to watch out for?"

"Yeah actually, if you're going to be sleeping with girls at the party's watch out for Lily she is really clingy. Harry has made that mistake a few times, he can't really tell who's who when he's drunk so she likes to get to the easy targets."

"Well good thing I have a high tolerance." I actually really don't have a high tolerance. "But I'll keep a look out for her."

"Are you going to try out for the football team? Our players suck and well you got the build for a good player."

"Yeah, I was planning on it. I was the captain at my old school, plus I'm a runner so I was pretty good if I might say so myself."

"Cool! Hopefully you're as good as you say because I would really like to win against the razor backs. Those assholes think they are the coolest guys around. I would like to show them who's boss."

"Well then you better get ready, because I'm really competitive." I cracked my knuckles and acted like I was the toughest guy around, and Niall laughed so hard his eyes were squinting and he was holding his stomach. Janet came with our food and we started to calm down so we could eat.

After we finished eating Niall drove us back to his place. We got out of the car and he pulled out his keys to open the door. "Mum? Dad? You home?"

"Hi, Niall. I'm sorry but you're parents said they had some important meetings out of town and won't be back until next week." One of Niall's maids I think answered like it was the worst news in the world.

"Well it must have been huge, because they always tell me before they go. Thanks anyways Rosy. Liam and I will be upstairs if you need us!" He yelled back while he ran up the stairs with me following him.

"Did you finish your homework!?"

"Yeah!" We got to his door and there were two of guys from last night sitting in bean bag chairs on the floor playing video games, and one of them, I think Louis, was in his bed on his phone. "Hey guys, I thought you had that essay?"

"Yeah, Harry and I finished. Lou over there got annoyed and gave up." Zayn the tanned one said.

"Ohh, well I'll help you Lou if you need help."

"Nah, let's just go play some football. Liam I'm sure your good, right?" I nodded my head and smiled, "cool your on my team. These guys suck."

Niall acted affended and put his hand on this heart, "hey I'm the second best on the team!"

"Yeah, second best. That doesn't mean you're good, it just means the rest of the school sucks. Anyways we all know I'm the best, otherwise I wouldn't be captain." Louis got out of Niall's bed and put his phone in his pocket. He walked over to the door and said, "let's go boys we need our practice, the next game is coming up soon! Liam I really hope you're good, if you are you can be on the team." He patted me on the back and walked out the door. The other two, Zayn and Harry, got out of the bean bag chairs to follow him. Zayn just walked pass me and grunted at Louis, and Harry smiled brightly at me.

"See they are already treating you like you are one of us. Harry seems to like you. He only smiles like that when he wants someone to like him, or if there a baby or cat around." We laughed and walked out of Niall's room. Niall put his arm around my shoulder while we walked down the stairs, he had no difficulty keeping his arm there and walking the same pace as me. We made it out to the back yard, it is the biggest yard I've ever seen. It has a tennis court, a golf course, a basketball ball court, and a football field. It also had a pool and a barbecue area. We walked over to the football field where Louis was already getting into the mode.

We played for an hour or two, Louis and I won. They really did act like I was one of them, that I always have been one of them. It's amazing, they are really cool. Louis is funny, witty, and full of energy that never seems to fully get out of him. Harry is happy, nice, smart, and really likes to make me feel like I'm one of them. Zayn is laid back, smart, cool, and really interesting. And Niall, Niall is cool, smart, fun, loud (but in a good way), dorky, giggly, competitive, cute (maybe gorgeous is the better word), funny, scratch that he is hilarious, witty, and very intriguing. There is just something about him, ugh. Maybe it's just the fact that he was so accepting of me, as soon as he heard I was coming to Doncaster he took me in.

We went inside and sat in the living room, which had a flat screen tv and all the video games and game consoles you could imagine. They also had a book shelf full of movies. We sat down and Harry decided to ask me about myself, "so Liam, leave anyone special back home?"

"If you're talking about a girlfriend then no. But I did leave my best friend Andy, he wasn't to excited about that."

"How did he react?" Zayn took up the conversation, something he didn't seem to do much.

"Uh, well he was just really upset. I mean I'm always the one to take care of him when we go to parties, and after he got kicked out of school and started getting home schooled he doesn't really have to many people he can just kick back with besides me. We're like brothers, so yeah, he wasn't the happiest. But you know he's gonna come and visit every once in awhile, so it's not like we're cutting ties or anything."

"Yeah I get that. These boys are my brothers, we love each other and we pretty much act like brothers do. When we fight we really fight, and when we are cool we hang out all the time." Niall was really happy that he could say that.

We continued the conversation for awhile then played a few video games. I looked at the time to see it was already 7 o'clock, dinner is almost ready. "I should go, my mum is making dinner and I still have to finish packing."

"Why don't you stay the night?" Niall asked, as soon as I finished talking, very eager I might add.

"Nah, maybe next time. But thanks I had fun."

"Why don't I drive you to school tomorrow, then you can stay the night here?"

"Uh, yeah sure. Thanks."

They all waved good bye and I let myself out. I went home, took a shower (I was still sweaty from the foot ball game), had dinner, told my parents about my day, went to my room, unpacked the rest of my stuff, and got ready for bed. I looked over to see both Niall's and my curtains were still wide open. It's odd when you think about it, our houses are closer to any other houses on the whole block, and our rooms are right across from each other to where if we both laid down facing the balcony we would have a perfect view of each other. I sighed and went to lay in my bed, in just my boxers. I watched as Niall's light in his room turned on, then Niall came over and he looked at me waved then he walked over to the balcony. I got up wrapped my comforter around my body and opened the door, "hey."

"Hi." We smiled at each other.

"I just wanted to know what you thought of the boys." He sat in a chair that was sitting there, and I sat on the ground leaning against the glass door.

"They're cool. I didn't expect for them to get so used to me so fast."

"Neither did I, to be honest. And what about me?"

I cocked my eyebrow and asked, "what about you?"

He giggled and then said, "well, what do you think of me." He brought he legs up on the chair and hugged himself like he was cold.

"Why don't you get yourself a blanket, then I will answer." He chuckled and went into his room and grabbed his own comforter as well. I jumped up and said for him to hold on, I walked into my room and realized I don't have any comfortable chairs. So I did the logical thing and pushed bed right next to the door to where it was practically touching it. Niall started laughing, but instead of leaving it at that he pushed his bed to his balcony as well. We both laid down and faced each other. We smiled at each other, then I started to answer his question, "well, you're really cool. I mean who just invites a guy over he just met just to hang out for the day? You pretty much made your friends my friends first chance you got. I'd say that's pretty cool."

"Well you handled us better that anyone else has. Trust me we all tried to find people who could hang out with us, but they never seemed to fit. It's kind of weird because they would get so excited that we wanted them to hang out with us, but everyone would just act weird the whole time. But you, you just fit like a piece of a puzzle, and I'd say that's pretty cool."

We talked for hours just laying there, then I started to doze off...
