Part Fifty-Three

Molly’s POV

I rolled over in bed, I was in that state where you were awake but couldn’t be bothered to get up. I heard some sort of commotion going on outside, but I couldn’t be bothered to go find out what it was. I was too comfortable lying here curled up in Liam’s arms, my head rested on his chest.

“Should we go see what it is?” Liam murmured knowing I was awake.

“No,” I mumbled “Too comfy.”

“Okay,” He chuckled. There was a loud crash outside our door and I bolted up right in my bed. To say it made me jump was an understatement.

“You okay?” Liam held back his laugh.

“Shut up, it made me jump okay?” I tried to sound annoyed but I couldn’t keep the smile off my face. How could I when there is a hot guy shirtless lying in my bed?

“Okay,” He sat up and kissed my neck.

“Morning b*tches!” A giant fox swung the door open to our room and jumped in; holding on the ‘s’ of ‘b*tches’.

I screamed so loud; I didn’t even know it was possible, but I’m sure dogs could hear it. “G-Get away from me!” I screeched and pushed myself flat against the headboard, hiding my face in Liam’s neck.

“That was hilarious!” I heard Beth laughing, but I didn’t dare look up.

“Mel? What the hell?” Liam muttered.

“Happy Late April Fools mother f*ckers,” Mel shouted.

“Is it gone yet?” I whispered.

“Nope,” Mel popped her ‘p’.

“Mel, either take that off, or leave the room,” Liam instructed.

“If you want a stripper Liam,” Mel started but was cut off by something… I think Liam threw a pillow at her.

I nervously peered over Liam’s shoulder and saw that the ‘fox’ was in fact Mel in a fox onesie. I still didn’t like it; but I couldn’t help and laugh. She was lying on the floor with the pillow Liam had just threw at her, on her face.

“Fifty points for the head shot!” Beth shouted.

“Sha-Bang!” Liam smiled and high-fived me.

“Did Liam just say ‘Sha-Bang’?” Sophia burst out laughing and soon we all joined in. Mel still on the floor. She’s a fool. A fool I tell you.

Sophia was laughing so much, she tripped on the un-suspecting Mel and landed on top of her.

“Sophia! Get your fat arse off me!” Mel shouted. Of course we all knew she was joking. Sophia wasn’t fat, but Mel could have chosen her words better- after what Sophia’s just been through. I held my breath waiting for Sophia’s reply.

“Hmm, I don’t think so, I’m quite comfy here actually,” Sophia laughed and I breathed a sigh of relief.

“No! You’re not! You are removing you’re butt from my stomach right this instant!” Mel shouted.

“I don’t know, you’re really comfy Mel, and I think you deserve it,” She smirked and we all laughed again.

“You’re evil,” She muttered but then rolled over and Sophia fell on the floor. It was all silent for a second and then Sophia groaned setting us all off laughing once more.

“W-What’s going on?” Zayn mumbled walking in, “W-Why’s it so d-dark?”

Zayn’s POV

I woke up to people talking and screaming loudly. I panicked a little as I saw the bedside light wasn’t switched on. My breathing quickened as I fumbled with it trying to turn it on. I flicked the switch but the light wouldn’t come on. In my panic I stumbled out the bed and pulled back the curtain, but no light came through the window. I didn’t understand.

I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself down. I didn’t want to sound like a wuss, I mean, being scared of the dark isn’t exactly something a lad admits to easily. I know everyone already knows it, but knowing that I am and seeing how I actually am in the dark are two different things.

I made my way to the door and stumbled into Molly’s room where I heard everyone’s voices. I stood in the door way and took a minute to work things out before announcing my presence.

Two people were on the floor, one sitting on the other; the one on the top I could see was a girl. Two people were on Molly’s bed, I guess that was Molly and Liam. Then four people were in front of me beside the people on the floor, I could see that one of them was a girl and three were boys.

“W-What’s going on?” I mumbled announcing my presence, “W-Why’s it so d-dark?”

“Zayn?” Someone on the floor said. I recognised the voice as Mel’s.

“T-The lights won’t turn on! I tried to turn the light on but it wouldn’t come on. So, I tried to open the curtains but no light would come through the window. I don’t understand…” I trailed off.

“Ask Louis, Harry and Mel,” Molly said.

“What are you talking about?” I frowned, way past the point of confusion now.

“Happy Late April Fools!” The three of them shouted.

“Wait? So you did this?” I asked, slightly angry.

“Yup,” Mel said from the ground.

“Don’t worry Zayn, it wasn’t just you, they’ve done all of us,” Sophia said… so she’s the person sitting on top of Mel.

“Not me… I don’t think,” Liam said from the bed.

“No, yours was too hard, how were we supposed to scare you?” Louis said logically.

True, they couldn’t really scare Liam, unless they put a spoon in his food… but they couldn’t do that anyway because it’d be too hard.

“And Lauren, we haven’t seen or heard anything from her,” Beth said.

“Well…” Louis laughed.

“What did you do to her?” Niall asked.

“Let me out!” We heard muffled shouts from downstairs.

“Is that Lauren?” I asked.

“I’m going to kill you!” We heard her shout again.

“Yeah,” Harry laughed.

“What did you do to her?” Liam asked.

“We… may have locked her in the under the stairs cupboard…” Mel laughed.

“She is going to kill you,” Molly laughed.

“Let’s go let her out,” Sophia jumped up, off Mel, who sighed dramatically in relief.

“Can you turn the electricity on, whilst your there?” I mumbled.

“I’ll do it,” Liam patted my shoulder as he walked out the room.

I stuck close behind Liam and Niall stayed by my side as we descended the stairs. I clutched tightly to the banister, making sure I didn’t trip. “You okay Zayn?” Niall asked me as I planted my feet safely on the flat floor.

“Y-Yes,” I nodded; it was only a little lie.

“Liam’ll get the lights on soon enough, don’t worry mate,” He patted my shoulder.

“Thanks,” I mumbled.

“Three… Two… One…” Sophia muttered and then unlocked the under the cupboard stairs. Lauren stood there fuming.

“Who the hell locked me in that cupboard?” She asked charging out.

“Mel, Harry and Louis,” We all answered.

“They pranked us too,” Molly sighed.

“Happy Late April Fools!” The three of them shouted from behind us, making us all jump. Molly shrieked and jumped behind Lauren; as Mel was still wearing the fox onesie.

“That should do it, try the lights Zayn,” Liam shouted. I flicked the nearest light switch and heaved a sigh of relief as the room flooded with light. Thank you Liam.

“Cheers mate,” I smiled as Liam walked back in the room.

“Well, that’s all the pranks done,” Mel smiled.

“Let’s eat,” Niall said and we all headed into the kitchen.

“I’ll cook,” Sophia announced.

“I’ll help,” Molly and Mel smiled.

“Let’s do this,” I smiled and sat at the table.

“Wait, Harry and Louis, you can go and take all the boards of the windows,” Liam said, then when they didn’t move added, “Now.”

“Yes daddy,” They smiled innocently then ran off in different directions.

“Food, I’m cooking food,” Sophia sang, “Beans, and toast, and bacon and egg, all the things for a good breakfast.”

“Do you have to sing whilst doing everything?” Beth sighed.

“I bet she sings whilst she’s have sex with Niall!” Louis shouted from somewhere in the lounge.

“I do not!” Sophia shouted in protest.

“Is that how you like it Niall?” Harry shouted from somewhere upstairs.

“Shut up,” Niall blushed.

“Moving on,” Molly shouted and Sophia sent her a ‘thank-you’ look. When they finally finished making breakfast, Sophia had made bacon, beans and scrambled egg; Molly had done porridge and Mel had made toast… yeah, she’s not that skilled in a kitchen.

“What does everyone want?” Molly asked.

“Everything!" Niall shouted and we all laughed. Sophia gave him a plate containing bacon, egg, beans and toast, she also handed him a bowl of porridge.

“I’ll just have porridge,” Liam said and Molly put it in a bowl for him, with a fork. I watched as Mel swapped the fork for a spoon behind Molly’s back and then Molly handed it to Liam. I couldn’t keep the smile off my face as I saw Mel slip out a video camera. She caught my eye and winked at me and I chuckled.

“So, we’ve got a show tonight, and before that a magazine interview, so after breakfast, we need to get a move on boys,” Liam said as we all took our seats around the table with our food.

“Sure,” Harry smiled, Harry and Louis had now joined us for breakfast.

It all seemed to happen in slow motion then, Liam lifted his spoon full of porridge up and then he let out this sort of war cry scream and threw the spoon across the room, splattering porridge across everyone and everything, as he stood up abruptly sending everything flying. We were covered in food.

“Liam!” I whined.

“Who the hell put a spoon on my porridge!” He yelled.

“I’m going to get a shower and get changed,” I muttered scrapping beans off my lap and pulling a bit of egg that was dangling on my forehead. Disgusting.

“Okay,” Mel smiled knowingly. What did they do now? I sighed and walked upstairs, jumping straight in the shower. I had a shower, washing my hair; I had to use the spare shampoo I kept in the actual shower because my other one wasn’t there for some reason.

I wrapped a towel around my waist and walked over to Mel’s cupboard. I went through it a couple of times but couldn’t find any of my clothes. So this is what they’d done.

Well, I’m not going to let it beat me. Whose clothes do I fit into best? Probably Liam. I walked across the hall into Molly’s room and grabbed some of Liam’s clothes out before going back to Mel’s room and getting changed. I bet they weren’t expecting that.

I walked downstairs and walked back into the kitchen.

“W-What?” Louis frowned looking at me.

“Are they my clothes?” Liam asked.

“Someone thought it would be a good idea to steal mine,” I threw a smirk at Mel who sighed.

“Oh, I should have guessed,” Liam laughed.
