"That was awkward." Paul says on our way home. "Yeah it was." "Did you mean all that about Niall?" "I did. No one knows that about him except me and the boys." "well it was amazing what you did." "thanks." we walk through the door and Liam is hugging mom and crying. I don't want to get into any of this. I go upstairs and read my book for school, Divergent. I still have all my summer projects to do. I curl up on the bed with my laptop open and a book in my lap. I go on twitter once Liam walks in. "what are you doing?" "I'm on twitter and rea-" he closes my laptop. "what was that for?" "don't go on twitter." "why not?" "please just promise me you won't. Not on your laptop or phone or anything." "but why?" "promise?" "I promise." I open my laptop and log out and just go on Pandora to listen to music. I read for the rest of the day which is probably about five hours. I actually finish the book. My stomach growls and sounds like a dying whale. "dinner." I whisper to myself for no reason. I go downstairs and go to the counter and find a note. "we went out to Ryan's baseball game and then to dinner will be back around nine." I wanted to go. Oh well. I grab a bag of microwavable rice and cook it. Well heat it up. I put soy sauce an butter on it and go back upstairs to Liam's room. I watch Transformers on his TV since it's on. I love this movie for two reasons, one it's a good movie and two Shia LaBeouf is in it. My phone rings, it's probably Louis or Harry telling me that they miss me already. To my surprise it's Niall. "What's the sitch?" I say answering it. "Louis, Zayn, Harry, and Liam all just texted me and told me not to go on twitter." "Liam told me not to go on either." "Do you know why?" "no. When we were boarding Louis told him something. But when I asked he didn't tell me anything." "They've been keeping to themselves lately haven't they?" "Yeah are you going to go on twitter anyways?" "No I promised. You?" "promised." "I wonder what this is all about?" "me too. But hey I'll text you tomorrow its getting late." "okay bye. Love you." "love you too. Goodnight." "night." I bring the empty bowl downstairs and then turn my TV off and fall asleep. When it morning someone comes in and sits on me. "Annie wake up." I open my eyes and see Liam. "want to come to Paul's game?" "sure." I change into skinny jeans and a long sleeve shirt and my vans. I walk down stairs and make myself a smoothie. Liam drives us to the baseball game. They haven't started yet. Paul comes running out of the dugout to us. "Liam can you play we need one more player." "I can't. But maybe Annie." "Excuse me?" I say turning to Liam. "Annie please." "I'm not even in a uniform." "the game starts in an hour go home and change into my extra uniform." "are you sure you want me to play?" "you play softball right?" "yeah." "it's no different. Please." "okay." "go hurry." Liam drives me home and grab me the uniform and some cleats. I put my hair into two braids and then drive back to the field. I make it in time. "Paul why is your sister playing?" "do you want to play or forefit?" "what can you do?" he asks changing it to me. "anywhere but pitcher." "why not pitcher?" "I play softball and so I can't pitch baseball style and I am really bad at pitching anyways." "Annie second base!" yells the coach. Me and Paul look at each other and laugh a little. I grab Paul's extra glove and run out onto the field with the rest of the team. I make two outs. I hit four times and get a double, single, and two homeruns. We end up winning. "Good job Annie!" says Liam. "Thanks. But I am hungry." "let's go eat." we drive to a restaurant and get some food. I go home and change into my other clothes. Liam comes into the room while I'm just getting onto my laptop to write my essay for school. "Can I talk to you?" "uh yeah sure." I shut my laptop and sit up. "what's up?" "So we leave tomorrow for tour." "yeah and?" "Well you- I'll just show you." he takes my laptop and logs into twitter. He turns it towards me. It is full of hate. Not even one nice thing about me and the boys. Nothing. "see why I didn't want you on twitter?" "but I can handle all the-" "no you can't." "Liam I think I know what I can and can't do." "On tour we will all be under a lot of stress trying to keep you safe. So don't go trying to mess that up." "mess what up?" "by hanging out with random people like you normally do. Stay with at least one of us at all times out in public. I don't want what happened a few days ago with Zander to happen again." "How did you find out about that?" "I'm your brother I know a lot." "but who told you?" "it's all over frickin twitter Annie! They're hating on Niall because of it!" "it's no like I did anything wrong!" "and yesterday with that guy when you were at lunch with Paul. What was that about?!" "he started hating on Niall an hitting on me! What was I supposed to do?! Give him my number and just listen to him hate on my boyfriend!" "Just calm down." "Go away!" he gets up and slams the door shut knocking down one of his Toy Story posters.
