Chapter Forty Five

"here you go." "thanks." he sets the laptop on my lap and I open it up. "Wait!" I yell/choke out. "what?" Liam answers. "Can someone take my project to school?" "Sure." I start typing another project due this week. It's an essay on something amazing that happened to you. So I'm going to do moving to London and living with One Direction. Seems legit. "Can we take your car?" "what other car would you use?" "never mind." Harry walks over to the couch and closes the laptop. "what was that for?" "I'm bored." "so go with Liam to drop my project off at school." "I don't want to go." "then I can't help you." he sits on my stomach. "Go away." "no." he plays with my hair and I try to shoo him away. I decide to cough on him. "ew!" he freaks out and falls off me and onto the floor. I start laughing and he pulls me down onto the floor. "Harry I'm sick!" "I don't care!" "Zayn! Lou! Help!" "Harry get off her!" Louis calls. There's a knock at the door which interrupts Harry attacking me. I get up and answer it. "Hi Kristi." She's holding her daughter Madison. "Do you mind watching Madison for an hour or two while I run to the store?" "Of course." I take the toddler from her and close the door. "hi Madi." "helwo." I smile at her. I sit down on the floor in the living room and set her between my legs. I turn the tv on to Maggie and the Ferocious Beast. "Maggie! Maggie!" "Yeah that's Maggie. Good job." The boys come and sit next to me. "Hi Madi. I'm Harry." Madi crawls over me and over to Harry. She stands up against him. She pats his head and pulls on his curls. "Bouncy!" "Go to Lou." Harry says kindly and points to Louis. She turns her head and runs into Louis' open arms. "Lou! Lou!" "Hi Madi." she puts her fingers in his mouth. "oh Madi." I say. "who dat? Who dat?" she asks pointing at Zayn. "that's Zayn." she crawls over Louis and over to Zayn. "hello." "pwity!" we all laugh at them. "You have very pretty hair too." She crawls onto his chest and touches his blonde streak. "come here Madi." She turns her head and runs to me. I set her in my lap and brush her brown hair. "Yay! Bwaid it!" "okay. But you have to sit super still." "you got it." I braid her hair down her back. "all done." "Tank you!" she climbs onto the couch and sits behind Harry. "Harry! Harry! Harry!" She plays with his hair again. Liam comes in and sits on the floor across from me. She sticks her tongue out at Liam and hugs Harry's head. "mine!" "who is this little cutey?" "I Madi! You have pointy hair!" she slowly gets off the couch and walks to Liam. She hesitantly lifts her hand to his hair. She touches the top of his quiff. "ow! Kiss my boo boo!" she puts her hand in front of his face. He takes the small hand and kisses it. "all better." "yay!" she claps her hands together and sits down in between me and Harry to watch tv. "Have you eaten Annie?" Liam asks. "Is Niall back?" "no." "then no I haven't eaten." "Your being really s-" he pauses looks at Madi then back to me. "silly. Your being really silly." Madi bursts into laughter at something that happened on the show. "I'm hungry." Madison states looking to me. "what would you like?" "crackers please!" "sure thing." I get her a bowl of crackers and sit back down next to her. We all sit and watch Maggie and the Ferocious Beast until Kristi comes to the door to pick up Madison. Harry carries her to the door. "Thank you so much." "No! I don't wanna leave mommy!" "You need to take a nap sweetie." "But I wanna play with Harry and Lou Lou and Zayn and Weum and Annie! Please wet me stay!" "maybe later come on let's go." Harry hands over Madison and closes th door behind them. I walk back to the couch and sit down. "So will you eat now?" Zayn asks. "No! I will not eat until my boyfriend is standing in front of me!" "we don't know where he is." "did you call or text him?" "He won't answer any of our texts." "well call him!" I storm upstairs and shut my door. I can hear their muffled voices. "Just call him! She's going to get sick!" "Fine! But he probably won't answer. And even if he does he won't come back." "I don't care! I don't want my sister starving herself because of Niall being a selfish jerk!" "fine." there's a pause then theres more yelling. "Niall! You better get your Irish ass back home! ... She is refusing to eat anything until you get back! ... Niall get home now." the call ends. "well?" They whisper the rest of the conversation so I zone out. It's only noon. Now I'm bored. "Harry!" there's footstep coming up the stairs in a hurry and my doors flung open. "What?!" "I'm bored." he sighs. "well what do you want to do?" "I don't know." "Let's do a twitcam. Give me your laptop." "it's downstairs." "go get it." "no you get it." "it's your laptop, you get it." "it's your idea, you get it." "Annie go get the laptop." "Annie go get the laptop." "are you copying me?" "Are you copying me?" "stop." "stop." "seriously stop." "seriously stop." "Annie shut up!" "Annie shut up!" "get the laptop." "get the laptop." "your being annoying." "your being annoying." "please stop." "please stop." "go away. "go away." "Niall won't come back until you apologize." "what?" I say barely audible.
