Unexpected visitors

Niall’s P.O.V

“We’re here, you can stop” Kira said as she pointed at one of the houses

The driver stopped and we all looked outside. It seemed like a peaceful neighborhood, but because of the rain that had started again the peacefulness had turned into gloominess since there was not a soul to be found outside.

“You can go, we’ll give you a call alright?” Liam turned to the driver and the driver nodded

We all got out and headed towards the house. Kira rang the bell and the door opened shortly after.

I blinked a few times as I looked at the woman in the doorway. She was young, and very pretty.

“Hi aunty” Kira smiled a guilty smile

…Aunty?...I raised my eyebrows

“Kira?” she spoke as she looked at Kira and then at us “omg come in come in, it’s pouring outside” she stepped aside to let us in

We entered the house as we all greeted the woman.

“What’s all this?” she looked at all of us again and frowned slightly

“Sorry to barge in on you like this, but I bumped into…uhm…a few…uh…friends? And they were looking for May….so I kinda helped them out..”

“Friends? Who are you kidding honey” she smiled smugly “Like I wouldn’t recognize this bunch” she nodded towards us “come in I’ll make you guys some tea”

“Thank you ma’m” we all said “I’m Niall” I smiled

“I know…”she said “And Harry, Zayn….Liam…and of course Louis” she chuckled

We blinked and Liam spoke up “You’re well informed, it’s a pleasure to meet you ma’m”

“The pleasure is all mine” she smiled “I’m Maria-Louise, Lindsey’s mother”

“Mother!?” we all asked in sync. Well that explains a whole damn lot

Kira frowned and looked at us “What else did you expect, her grandmother?” she rolled her eyes as she kicked off her shoes and hung her jacket on the rag

Maria-Louise flung her hand against the back of Kira’s head without warning and we all chuckled

“Ack!” Kira rubbed the back of her head as she walked towards the living room with a frown on her face

We followed her and sat down in the living room. It was big and neat. There was a big white piano standing in the corner of the room, shining as if it was recently polished. On the wall behind it hang a portrait of a young Lindsey, Diego and Arianna I suppose. This picture proved even more that Lindsey was born with her looks.

“Please make yourselfs at home, I’ll go make some tea now” Maria-Louise turned and left. She halted at the stairs and knocked on the banisters “Diego! Ariana! I think you might wanna come down here!” she called upstairs and left

“Ariana?” Louis looked up at Kira “MY Ariana?”

“Since when is she YOUR Ariana?” Kira chuckled and I heard two doors open upstairs

Louis eyes went wide and he got up “I’m not here” he hissed and looked around. He hid behind the wall of the corner where the living room continued into a new part as we heard footsteps come down the stairs

“What are you doing..” I looked at him with a confused face

“Ssssht!” he hissed from behind the wall and I shrugged

Liam chuckled and Kira shook her head. We all turned our faces to the footsteps that were coming down the stairs

The guy I recognized as Diego got down first and he abruptly halted at the bottom of the stairs when he saw us, causing a girl behind him to bump into him. The girl looked exactly like Maria-Louise, beautiful.

“Jesus, Diego what the fuck was that for?” she pushed him, slightly irritated

But Diego didn’t budge and she followed his shocked and lost gaze, locking eyes with me. I smiled brightly at her “Hello, love”

She gasped as her eyes turned into tennis balls “wha…”

“What are you guys going here?” Diego got out of his trance and walked towards us, his face still confused.

“We bumped into Kira on our way to find Lindsey at her work today” Harry smiled smugly

Diego sat on the handrail of the sofa where Kira was sitting

“Ariana, what are you doing?” Kira looked at her

I looked too and she was still standing there, frozen. I smiled softly and wanted to get up but once again Liam caught up to me sooner. He walked towards her with a soft smile.

“It’s oke love, we won’t bite” he held out his hand

Ariana kept staring at him like he was a ghost, it looked like she could break down any moment.

“Earth to Ariana” Liam spoke with an amused smile and the girl blinked a few times before looking at his hand and placing hers in it slowly.

Liam pulled her towards us and sat back down as she stood and looked around

“Are you oke?” I asked her

She turned to me “Am I dreaming?” she turned to Diego “Did I die?”

We all started laughing and she blinked a few times “So cute” Harry chuckled “No you’re not dreaming and you are most certainly not dead, love”

“How..” She breathed as she looked around, a tear rolling down her face

“Don’t cry you big baby” Diego nudged her

“I can’t believe this is happening” she said “This can’t be real…”

“Well it is…” Louis came up behind her, taking all the blood she had left out of her face

“Louis…” She gasped and turned around in a flash as she covered her mouth with her hands

“Hi love” he smiled sweetly at her as he opened his arms “Come here”

He didn’t have to say it twice. She threw herself into his arms and held onto him for dear life, a smile finally spreading across her face.

“Did you like my video message?” Louis smiled softly

Ariana shook her head “I loved it…thank you so much…”

“Jeeej, everybody is happy again” Harry clapped his hands and we smiled

“Let’s go upstairs” Diego offered

“But your mother is making tea…” Zayn pouted

Diego shrugged “she can bring it upstairs”

“I HAVE A BETTER IDEA! HOW ABOUT YOU COME AND GET IT FOR THEM YOURSELF YOU LAZY ASS BURRO!” Marie-Louise’s voice shouted from the kitchen and Diego flinched

“yeah yeah sure whatever..” He rolled his eyes and got up “come on” he motioned us to follow him and so we did.

We went upstairs as Kira lead the way and Diego went to get our tea. Ariana was still holding onto Louis as if she was afraid he would disappear if she let go. She looked so vulnerable.

Kira entered the first room on top of the stairs and we followed.

“This is my room..” Ariana spoke up “Actually..it’s me and my sister’s room” we looked at her and then at the room

It was a cute room, also very neat and modern like the living room. I looked around and ended up staring at myself. A poster of me hung at the head of the bottom bed from the bunk. I looked at the top bed and found a poster of Louis hanging at the head of that one. A premium One Direction poster hung on the back of the door and a drawn portrait from each and every one of us hung above the desk.

“Wow…who drew those…” I asked

“May did…” Kira said “But don’t mention it”

“How do you mean” I looked at her

“She learned how to draw from a friend of ours…but she refused to accept it as a talent…to her it’s a painful memory…a burden…” she smiled softly, I could see a glint of sorrow visible in her eyes

“Why would she possibly see this as a burden…” Harry softly said as he brushed his hand lightly over his drawn face

“And why would she draw us then…” Liam asked

“The love she feels for you was enough to make her draw again…it was the first…but also the last time that I saw her drawing again...” her voice trailed off

“Since when..?” Louis looked up at Ariana

“It’s complicated” Diego spoke sharply as he walked into the room “Just drop the subject and don’t mention it in front of her” he placed the tray with tea down on the desk. The tone of his voice said enough. We sat down on the floor as he, Kira and Ariana, who had finally let go of Louis, handed us our tea.

“Oppa, why did you guys decide to come and find my sister…?” Ariana spoke towards Louis and we blinked…what?..

“O-Opwhat?” Louis furrowed his eyebrows and Kira chuckled

“It’s a Korean word girls use to call a guy who is older than them. It means big brother” she said

“ahh..” we nodded “you’re Korean?” Louis asked

“We’re half” Diego smiled “Our father is Korean, our mom’s Brazilian”

“I’m not~” Kira coed “I’m Spanish Brazilian”

“Are you guys family?” Liam asked

“uhhh Kinda…” Kira pouted slightly “you can look at it that way” she nodded

“You guys are ignoring me…” Ariana said and we looked at her

“Oh right, sorry Love” Louis chuckled lightly “We came looking for her cause we believe that third time’s the charm”

“But doesn’t that only count when it’s not planned?” She said with her eyes narrowed slightly as she chocked her head to the side.

“Yes…that’s why we’re here..” I said

“I don’t get it..” Ariana frowned “doesn’t this make the third time..”

“No…it’s the charm that came forth out of the third time..” Louis smiled

“I never heard anything about a third meeting..” Ariana and Diego spoke in union

“How do you think we knew where she worked?” Zayn smiled a meaningful smile

Diego and Ariana blinked as they remembered what Harry had said earlier

“We bumped into Kira on our way to find Lindsey at her work today” He had smiled smugly

They looked at Kira with narrowed eyes.

“Hey don’t look at me. It’s their story, their problem” she held her hands up with a shrug

“Harry went to pick up an order for his sister a few days ago at Lindsey’s work…that’s where he saw her” I said “He saw her picture as the employee of the month and a few moments later she came walking into the shop.”

“I don’t think she recognized me though, she didn’t even look at me..” Harry said

“When Harry told us this we all thought the same thing” Liam said

“Three time’s the charm..” Diego and Ariana finished the sentence

“Fate maybe?” Kira chuckled

“Or just meant to be” Zayn nodded

“Or you’re all just delusional, dupable, crazy ass idiots who watched way to much movies..” Diego concluded and we all burst out laughing when the door swung open.

“Yo Lindsey!” Louis waved happily “Where have you been, we’ve been waiting for you~”

Lindsey stood frozen at the entrance staring at us as her bag hit the floor with a soft thud.

But it wasn’t the bag that caught my attention. It were the small bruises and band aids on her face. Harry never mentioned anything about those…..

“What happened to your face..” Harry frowned

…because Harry never saw them…
