I saw your picture in the paper today
I didn't know the eyes, but I recognized your face
I read what you're doing and doing it in style
Last year I might have cried, but tonight I'll try to smile
Are you happy now?

I let your birthday pass, I met your friends at last
I didn't even ask if you're happy now
I barely made each night
Somehow the days rolled by
The part that loved you died
Are you happy now?

Saw you walking in the rain and holding no one's hand
I started feeling things that I couldn't understand
Now you're swinging from my heart, I'm ringing up my friends
"Before it all begins," they say, " remember how it ends"
Are you happy now?

Are You Happy Now?- Ellie Goulding


[Jamie’s P.O.V.]

Saturday came rolling around and Mark and I were waiting for Louis and Niall to show up. It was only Louis that came though.


Kind of disappointing...


"Hey man! Nice to see you!" Mark gave Louis a friendly hug.

"Great to see you too! And of course, Mimi!” I chuckled and gave him a hug.

"It's James." Mark said with a serious tone.

"Oh stop." I rolled my eyes and bumped him with my side.

"How many nicknames do you have?" Louis asked with a small chuckle as we walked into the small pub and sat at an empty table. He fixed his hat, lowering down a bit, and adjusting his coat up a bit higher.

"Lots. It goes from my normal name, Jamie, to Mimi, which is what kids at school call me the most, and then James, which only Mark calls me by, and then my dad calls me Chaparra, which basically means short, and my mom calls me-"

"James, you talk too much." Mark laughed as he scanned the menu.

"Well, he asked!"

"And it's totally fine! Just wanted to see what else they called you..." Louis mumbled as he looked outside.

He seemed a bit off.

"So, why didn't Niall come along?"

"Family. He wanted to see them before-" Louis stopped and thought for a moment.
"Before he left for school?" He said it like a question, and basically doubted himself. I was getting an odd feeling about him..

I shrugged off though, and continued to make conversation with him as we ate.




How I love Louis.



"And then James here got lost at the mall." Mark laughed as he nudged me with his shoulder.


"I don't live here! My bad!" I laughed along with them.

"Honestly, there's this thing called retracing your steps." Louis teased me.

"Don't start with me."
"Then funniest part though," mark shifted in his seat and leaned a bit more forward.

"She wanted to go to Forever 21-"

"Ooohhhh my god! Really?" Not again.

"Let the man speak Jamie." Louis chuckled at me. I rolled my eyes playfully and ate a bit more of my food.

"So, as I was saying; she wanted to go, so, I let her wander off. When we met up at the food court, she looks pissed as hell! Hulk would coward before her!"

"I wasn't THAT mad!" I protested.

"Why were you mad?" Louis asked as he took a slow sip from his drink.

"She got into it with some girl-"

"FAMOUS girl apparently." I rolled my eyes as I picked at my fries.

"Really now? Who was it?" Louis seemed honestly interested.

"Umm... There was a pretty brunette girl... And a blonde... I forgot their names. One started with an E though..."

"Eleanor?" Louis asked as he fiddled with his fries.

"Yeah! That! How'd you know?" I chuckled.

"Well... She..." He stopped and scratched the back of his head. I thought he was about to speak, but, he turned away immediately.

"Here's your check." Our waitress came over and handed it to us with a smile. I saw her sneaking glances at Louis…

Ohhhh…. I see…

"I'll go pay." Mark excused himself as he followed the waitress.

I turned back to see Louis reading a text.

"Lou, what were you going to say?" I ask as I narrow my eyes at him.
I then see a flash.

"Fuck..." Louis curses as he looks outside the window.

I turn around as well, and see paparazzi from a distance...

"Jamie... Let's go." Louis quickly gets up and pulls me along.

"But my fries!" I try to take then along, but, he was too strong.

"Whoa whoa whoa! Are you kidnaping my sister?" Mark laughs when he spots us.

"Nah, we were-"

"Getting out of here. Where's your car?"

"It's back-" Louis pulls us both along now, hurrying out through a back door.

I heard tons of murmurs amongst the crowd as we walked by. We WERE causing a big scene I guess...

"Damn... This way!"

"Louis! What's the matter?" I laugh as I finally get free from his grip.

"Umm... Look-"

"C'mon man. We're not leaving till you spill." Mark laughed as well.

"Will you guys-"

"Louis didn't even let me finish my fries." I pouted.

"Guys-"

"Fatty." Mark punched me lightly.

"GUYS!" We snapped our heads to a nervous Louis.
"Back there... I was trying to tell you-"

"About Elaine." Mark finished his sentence.

"It's Eleanor, dumbass."

"Yeah, she-" Louis was about to speak.

"Shut up James." But Mark interupted.

"Nope."

"Loser."

"Cute loser."

"Conceited."

"Dude, shut up."

"I’m Older."

"Don't care!"




"ELEANOR IS MY GIRLFRIEND!"





Uhh....


Wait... What?!

~

I sat there awkwardly on the couch, fiddling with my hair.

"James-"

"I made fun of his girlfriend, Mark. I made FUN OF HIS GIRLFRIEND!" I slapped my forehead. I felt a small bounce on the couch and an arm wrap around me.

"You apologized!"

"But Mark! It's soooo embarrassing! Out of all people?!" I groaned and threw my head back. I heard Marks phone make a ding.

Louis probably texted back.

"He said; I made it back okay. Don't stress about El, Jamie. I found it funny. She was just on her period." Mark chuckled.

"Dammit. Now it makes sense!" I groaned as I sat straight up.
"Louis knows Harry cause Eleanor is Harry's friend! And Eleanor is dating Louis! So, they met somewhere along there." I sighed once I finally figure out the mystery.

"Well inspector gadget, lets get your stuff and start packing!" Mark chuckled and dragged me by my feet.

"His GIRLFRIEND!" I groaned once more.


[Louis P.O.V.]


"So, you PROMISE you didn't say anything?" Niall asked once more.

I rolled my eyes and nodded before looking back down at my cellphone.

"Then what DID you say?"

"Niall! I didn't bring you up in the conversation! Jamie tried, but, I changed the subject as quickly as I could to avoid any questions." I mumbled and continued to scroll down my screen.

"I just really want to tell her PERSONALLY."

"When do you plan on doing THAT Niall? I was SOOO close to telling her... TWICE." I said a bit agitated.

I bet she figured it out when I mentioned Harry and El though...



Or, at least I HOPE she did...


[Jamie's P.O.V.]

From: Niall
Sorry! Busy today as well! I'll call you, or maybe Skype you?

To: Niall
Okay! I'll talk to you soon then!

I felt it vibrate once again, probably Niall answering back, but, I was done.

"Mimi, don't be so upset." I looked up to see Julie with a sad look on her face as she picked at her chicken salad.

I groaned and dropped my head down to the lunch table.

"It's Wednesday, Julie... WEDNESDAY! I can get a hint."

"Maybe he really IS busy. Just, give him space, and let him crawl back to you." She chuckled.
I rose my head back up and shot her a half smile.

"I don't know what I did wrong... What if he read all those tabloids about Harry and I-"

"The only people that know that that's you is your family, Harry, and I!" Well... That's what you think...

I still haven't told her EVERYTHING that happened in London.


"I haven't even bumped into him at school." I mumble as I look at my apple juice.

"Mimi, don't get so worked up about it. You still got Harry Styles!" She said in her best low voice.

"But... Harry-"

"Is hot."


"No, I mean he's-"

"EXTREMELY hot."

"JULIE."

"JAMIE."

"I hate when you mock me." I laugh and flick a pea at her hair.

"You're so nasty! Help me take it out!" She chuckled as she searched for it in all her blonde hair.

"Nah. I'm good here."

~


"Okay, so, tomorrow after school, we go shopping!" Julie squealed as we jumped into her car.


I gave her a confused look as I buckled up.

"Why? What's the occasion?"

"The concert is tomorrow! And I've got a ticket! I can't wait! Don't tell me you forgot I told you about it." She sighed as she started the ignition and buckled herself up.

"Oh yeah!" Harry invited me...

"Front row seats! I had to save up tons of money, but, I got the best seat! And last. I should've-"

"No, no. I told you already; I would've just brought your mood down." I teased her with the same thing she told me about another concert she wanted to take me to.

"I was kidding back then!"

"I wasn't! The Jonas Brothers literally-"

"Okay, stop. Lets go." She laughed as she backed up.


Maybe I should tell her that Harry got me a VIP thing... Package... Ticket... Whatever.
We made conversation the whole way back to my house, made a deal to shop tomorrow, and off she went, leaving me at my house.

I marched upstairs and to my room, throwing my whole body on the bed.

"I just want to sleep..." I felt my eyes getting heavy, and the sleep beginning to devour me.

"HEY! HEY! HEEEEYYYY-"

"FUCKING RINGTONE!" I rose up, answered without seeing who it was, and slammed the phone against my ear.

Yes.

I got a new phone.

Finally.
My precious Galaxy phone.

"Hello?!"

"Well, someone's cranky."


Harry.


"Ugh... Sorry! I was falling asleep and then my phone blasted and I got scared and I jumped and didn't know and the ringtone is weird and it's a Galaxy so I don't-" I heard him laughing from the other end.
"What's so funny?" I chuckled.


"You ramble on a lot." I plopped my head back down on to the pillow

"I tend to do that sometimes." I chuckle.

"So," he cleared his throat.

"Friday's the day! Can't wait to see you!" He said enthusiastically.


"I finally get to see you after an eternity!" I joked.
"Haha. I'm sorry. This business takes up a lot of our time. I mean, the Up All Night tour is over, but, we still have concerts here and there." He sighed and I heard him fall down onto something.

"It's no problem. At least you try to keep in contact with someone who's not famous in the least way possible." I smiled against the phone.

I wish I could say the same for Niall. I thought we were friends... And now; he's avoiding me?


Stop thinking about it!


"You know that doesn't matter to me-"

"I know. You've said it plenty of times." I smiled once again.

"Can I ask you for a favor?" He sounded serious. I furrowed my eyebrows at his tone.

"Sure. Anything."


"Well... Try not to dress too hot. I don't want the lads drooling over you. You're mine— My friend." He tried correcting.


Well hello blushing cheeks.


"Umm... I'll try my best?" I said awkwardly.
All I hard was him laughing on the other end.

He really likes making me feel awkward, doesn't he?

~


"This one?"

"Yes."

"You didn't even look up!"

I raised my head to see Julie wearing jeans, a crop top, and some jewelry.

I've lost interest in her clothing.

"Yes." I mumbled and went back to playing some new app on my phone.

"Jamie! Help me!"

"Julie, you look hot in every single one! I don't know what else you want me to say!" I laugh as I stand and walk next to her as she looks in the mirror.

"That I'll be the hottest."

"You're such a conceited blonde." I joke as I place my head on her shoulder.

"I know." She sighs and drops her arms down.


"But honestly," I walk over to the pile of new clothes she bought and pick an outfit out, lay it on the bed, and add a couple accessories on the side.
"Voila! Smoking hot! With a bit of classy in there." I smile as I extend my arms wide for her to see.



"Wow! That's cute!" She gushes as she walks over to look at it.
"You eye for color comes in handy."

"I know." I say cockily, causing her to shoot me a smirk.
She picks up the shirt and places it over her body.

"I'll tell Harry you said hiiiii-"

"Oh stop." We chuckle and start to put away her clothes.

~


It's Friday.

Just keep saying that to yourself.
I sigh and continue to put away the ingredients from my cooking assignment.

"You seem weird." I laugh over sarcastically and turn to face a grinning Ryan.
"You know what I mean; You seem off."

"You making fun of me isn't making it better." I fake pout.

"Oh stop taking it up the butt." He chuckles and walks over to the tables. I follow behind and stick my hands in my pockets.
"Is it about today?"

"Yup." I sigh as I reach for my backpack.

"Just relax, Mimi. It'll be fun, Julie will be there-"

"She doesn't know I will..."

"AAAANNNDDD HARRRYYYY will be there." He winked at me. I rolled my eyes and let a smile take over my face.
"Ahhhh! See? You're happy you get to see him." He pushes on.

The bell rings and we walk out to the hallways.
"I'm just... He says... Well... He wants to introduce me to the rest of One Direction. Do you know how nervous I am? What if I make a complete idiot of myself?"

"Do it in style." He states simply.

"I'm not you Ryan! You have that personality that attracts others to you. And if you DO embarrass yourself, nobody notices cause you're fucking perfect."

"It's cause I'm gay; Great teeth, hair, eyes, skin complexion, and ass." He smacks his behind, causing me to laugh hysterically.
"Don't hate Mimi." He sighs dramatically as we stop at my locker.

"Well, I hope your blessing stays with me." I giggle as I use the combination to unlock the lock.

"I hope so too. I better go though. Julie's coming and she's still mad cause I called her a whoring fake ass bitch for bending over in front of Jake so he could see her tata's. Love you! Text me afterwards!" He rambled as he scurried off a bit frightened.

"THEY'RE REAL RYAN!" Julie shouts out to him once she walks up to me.
"He called me-"

"A whoring fake ass bitch." I say in a monotone voice. She nods and pouts as she begins to walk off.
"Wait for me! You're my ride!" I laugh as I hurry and grab my books.

[Mark's P.O.V.]

Walking around campus on a nice chilly day with my cup of coffee; Amazing.

"And did you hear that One Direction went back to the states? They have a concert today." I turn to listen in on what Cindy is saying.

"Those girls go crazy! I've seen YouTube videos and I couldn't hear a single word!" Clarissa laughed.

"My sister knows Harry you know." I try to impress them... In the most modest way of course.

"Your sister? What?" Cindy chuckles.

"Yup." I smirk and continue to look around campus, spotting a friend every now and then.

"Oh my god! Has she met Zayn? He's my favorite." Cindy giggles.

"I love LIAM! He's such a sweetie!"

"Which ones Zayn? Wait... Who? How many are there?" I laugh at my un-informed self. Cindy sighs and turns to look at me.

"Mark, you've got to do your research. They're on EVERY magazine-"

"I don't like TigerBOP."

"Oh shut up. They also have albums-"

"Dude, I like Vinyl."

"Stop! They're gonna have a movie-"

"I watch classics; Forest Gump." I chuckle when I see Cindy roll her eyes.

"Mark! Just... Fuck you."

"Just google them. They'll pop up everywhere." Clarissa says in a meek voice.

"If I have time." I shrug.

~

Oh the boredom.

It lives!
I turn around to my pile of papers.
"Physics? Or, Calculus?" I look at my phone and check the time.
"Jamie must be getting out of school about now." I mumble to myself. I spin in my seat and stop in front of my laptop.
"Let's google One Direction."


Procrastination at its best.

I look up and immediately see website, after website, after website, after website... Etc.

"Jesus, Cindy had a point. Let's click here..." I move my curser to 'What Makes You Beautiful', and wait for it to load.
"Well, alright then."

Okay, so, five guys at the beach, some brunette guy with curly hair pops up and sings, they're driving, Harry-
"WAIT! WOAH!" I burst into fits of laughter, throwing my head back and holding my stomach.
"HARRY LOOKS LIKE NAPOLEON DYNAMITE! OH MY GOD! I CAN'T! I... I JUST CAN'T!" Once I finally calm down, I straighten myself up in time to see a blonde flash in the screen.

"He looks familiar..." I start to actually focus and try to look at them all.
"No way..." My eyes widen..
"LOUIS?!" I pause the video with Harry, Louis, and the blonde... Who...

"Wait... No... It can't be..." I look at him closer; he's too blonde, his face is a little more full, teeth are a bit crooked, but, the eyes, the smile...
"Niall...? No no... My mind is fucking with me. Maybe I should watch a more recent one..." I scroll over to 'Live While We're Young' and play it.
"Okay... Brunette with a new haircut... Black haired guy... Louis... Harry..." And that's when I saw him; blonde with brunette roots, or better yet,


"Niall."

~

I've never done so much research in my life in the spam of one and a half hours. So far, all I knew for sure was this;


One: there are five boys.


Two: the boys are Liam, Zayn, Louis, Harry and Niall.


Three: they're famous as fuck.


And the most important thing;












"Jamie is going to flip balls at the concert."



[Jamie's P.O.V.]
"Mom! I'll be fine." I mumble as I add a bit of mascara to my lashes.
"There! How do I look?" I ask my mom with a smile.



She places her hands over her heart and looks... Like she's about to cry?


"Mami! No llores!" [Mom, don’t cry!] I chuckle and pull her for a hug.

"Te ves hermosa baby. Oh my god I'm getting old." [You look gorgeous baby!] She laughs as we separate and she wipes a tear.

"Are you on your period?" I ask softly.

"JAMIE!" She smacks my arm and I can't help but laugh at her annoyed face.

"CHAPARRA! YOUR RIDE IS HERE!" I hear my dad calling.

"Oh damn!" I grab everything I need, plus a bag of Lays, and run downstairs.
"I'll call you guys when I start heading home, or, if I stay with Julie!" I yelled as I ran outside.


~


"Oh... Dear... God..." I'm so frightened. I've lived my life under a rock for so long, that I honestly don't know what the hell to do.

I see lines here, there, everywhere. Posters, teenagers, and the scent of body spray is in every inch of the arena.

"This way." Paul guides me through the crowds.

"PAUL!"

"OH MY GOD... PAUL!"

"HI!"

"Are you famous too? Don't tell me you're part of the boyband." I chuckle.
Paul simply laughs at me and ushers me to move along to my seat, which according to the mapping, is about where Julie is.

I can't tell where she would be though... Everyone is moving everywhere.
I'll just migrate till I can find her...

"The concert starts in about five minutes. Harry will be looking for you in the crowd."

"I think that will be a problem." I shift my eyes up to my beanie.

"Then again... Not everyone ha purple locks." I chuckled up to him. It brought out a smile from Paul and he nodded his head.

"You want me to take your jacket?" I nodded and handed it to him before he left to go do what he does.
And I stayed here... Surrounded by screams.

Time to migrate.

It was extremely difficult though. I was pushed and ignored, stepped on and shoved, and I almost lost my beanie at one point.

"Oh my god. Does my makeup look okay?!" I found her...

"Your makeup looks like shit." I try to say in a bitch voice.

"What the hell is your problem?! I was just-" I turn to face Julie's pissed off face.

"And that outfit is HIDEOUS." I snap my fingers right, left, and down to the right.

"MIMI! WHAT?!" She pushes through some girls and runs over to hug me. I embrace her and laugh at her excited screams.

"What are you doing here?!" She grins like crazy as she looks at me.

"Harry got me a VIP thing... Package... Whatever. I could've waited back there, but, I wanna experience this whole thing." I wave at the stadium.

"We're at a ONE DIRECTION CONCERT MIMI! TOGETHER! I'm so... AAAAHHHHHHH!" Her excited scream blends in with everyone else's as a giant 1D appears in front of us.
"IT'S STARTING!" Julie shouts.


I then felt my phone vibrate.


Four new texts.



From: Harry
Ready to see me sing just for you? xx



From: Niall
We need to talk. I have something right now, but, when I'm done, would you have time to meet me up? xx


From: Louis
I'm sorry for what you're about to find out... If you haven't found out yet that is...


From: Mark
Whatever you do, DON'T over react James.



What? Way to bring my mood down! I only text Mark back, although it's probably late over there already. But, I'm surprised with an immediate reply.




From: Mark
Louis, Zayn, Liam, Harry, and Niall...
They're One Direction.









Uhhh... Huh?










"3! 2! 1!" Screams erupt everywhere, and I can't help but laugh and get a bit pumped myself as I watch the screen go dark, and the music start up.














But...


















That adrenaline went away quickly, and I felt my face go pale.

























Five boys popped up from underneath the stage...

































Harry: No shocker...














































Liam.... And Zayn... Who I am really confused about right now...




















































Louis... Who... I NOW understand...





























And the most surprising boy up there?











































































Niall... Fucking... Horan.

Notes

Shiiiitttt. Kind of a cliffhanger? Kinda really is.

So, what do you think will happen next?

Poor poor Jamie.

Poor poor Harry.

And Poor poor Niall....

*** Did i mention I HATE WHEN THE SPACING DOESNT COME OUT RIGHT?!?!?!
