Chapter 6: Meeting 5 Lads

Ariel's POV:

Today is the day I am leaving to go to England. My aunt was crying uncontrollably and Mark was frowning the whole time. I was already having second thoughts about leaving but I was doing this for my mother. This is what she wanted and I am going to fulfill it.

Simon's service men were already bringing all of my luggages to his car.

"Don't forget to visit me and also skype. Also if any reason you want to come back here to California you can live with me." Aunt Karen says to me.

"I'll be fine Aunt Karen don't worry. Plus I will skype you everyday." I promise her. She starts to cry again and hugs me super tight.

Once she calms down she lets go of me so Mark and I can both say our goodbyes as well.

"I guess this is goodbye for now Ari."Mark sadly says to me.

"I guess it is." I frown.

"Don't forget about me okay. Skype me everyday or when you have the chance. Plus make sure you send me stuff from England." Mark says all excitedly.

"You just want me to get you stuff." I pout like a little kid.

"I'm just kidding Ari. You know I'm going to miss you a lot. Your my best friend" He says punching my arm lightly.

I start tearing up and hugging him tightly. " I'm going to miss you so much Mark. You have always been there for me. You will always be my best friend no matter what. I love you." I whisper to his ear. Feeling tears rolling down my cheeks.

Mark hugs me back and I can hear him sniffling. "I love you too Ari."

"Let's go Ariel we don't want to be late for our flight to England."Simon says to me.

I let go of Mark and follow Simon to the car . I give my last goodbyes and wave at them. They wave back as Simon and I drive away.

...

We arrive to the airport and the both of us were waiting for our plane.

"Simon Cowell your private jet is ready sir." A guy walks up to us.

Simon nods and we both start following him.When we get in the plane my mouth drops. There was a nice little bar,comfy seats, and a television. I was in heaven.

"Would you like anything to eat Miss Cowell?" The stewardess asks me.

"I'm not hungry but can I just have some juice." I ask. 

She nods and leaves. A few minutes later she comes back with a glass of orange juice. I thank her, she nods and leaves right away.

I look outside the plane and see that it was night already. By the time we reach London it would be morning. Slowly, I started to get tired of staring out of the window and decided to fall asleep.

...

"Ariel wake up we just landed." Simon shakes me lightly.

I open my eyes and look out the window. We landed and it's already morning.

I grab my luggage and follow Simon out of the plane. There was a limo waiting for us and we got in. It took us only 30 minutes to reach Simon's house and let me tell you. That house was huge.

"Welcome to your new home Ariel!" Simon greets me with a huge smile and I just give him a small smile back.

When we get in the house my eyes just widens. It was gorgeous. It had a huge chandelier hanging from the ceiling, expensive furniture, classical paintings, and a huge flat screen tv in the living room. I walk over to a shelf and saw familiar pictures. It was full of pictures of me and my mum. Pictures of me when I was a baby until I graduated high school.

"I see that you found all the pictures of you and your mum. She would always send a copy to me and I would frame it right away. My favorite picture is this one."

He shows me a picture of me when I was a baby with my mom and him. My mom and Simon looked so happy. I just smiled and set the picture back down.

"UNCLE SIMON!!!" I hear someone yell from across the hall.

The loud voice startles me and I see a guy with brown hair and blue eyes running towards us. He was being chased with a curly haired guy with green eyes. Next thing I know, I was knocked down to the ground. That is totally gonna leave a mark.

"Louis!! Harry!! Stop it now!" Simon yells and they instantly stop .

"Look what you did to my daughter." He says helping me back up.

"I'm sorry Uncle Si but Harry was about to kill me because I was messing with his curls." Louis explains .

"Shut up Louis ." Harry groans.

"That's enough boys say sorry to my daughter." Simon tells them both with his hands on his hips.

"We are very sorry." They both say to me at the same time.

"Its okay." I say forgiving them.

"So you are the famous daughter that we hear about." Harry speaks out.

Simon talks about me? I say in my mind.

Three more guys walks to our direction and they were all eyeing me. Which made me feel really uncomfortable.

"Hello Uncle Si. Great to have you back" Says the boy with blonde hair and blue eyes. "Hello. I'm Niall what's your name?"

"I'm Ariel. " I introduce myself with a smile on my face.

"Vaz happenin I'm Zayn." The boy with black hair and hazel brown eyes says. Making me laugh.

"I'm Liam. " the boy with brown hair and brown  eyes introduces himself.

"Well I bet you already know me and Louis." Harry tells me. I just nod and smile.

"Ariel your room is on the third floor, second door to the right. Go change and put away your stuff. I will call you when lunch is ready." I just nod at what Simon says and went up to elevator that was around the corner with my things.

Just as I got in my room, I just couldn't believe on how huge it was. Seriously this room was made for the queen of England. It was so elegant.There was a king size bed, flat screen television, game counsels of different sorts, and different dvds.

When I went in my walk in closet it was full of clothes and shoes in my size. There was a vanity mirror covered with expensive make up and brushes.

The last place I explored was the bathroom and let me tell you the bathroom is definitely bigger than my old bedroom. Seriously I think you can fit a whole family here to live.

I reached my side table, they were full of electronics of any kind. ipod touch,ipad, laptop, earphones, video cam, a camera, and the latest IPhone. There was a note attached to it and said:

Think of this as all of your birthdays , christmases and graduation present combined. I hope you like them.

Love

Daddy Simon.

I didn't know what to think of this place. It was huge and overwhelming. I never seen anything so huge in my entire life. This will definitely will take time to get use to.

...

I start unpack and put away all of my stuff. Grabbing a picture frame of my mom and me I decided to put it on the bed stand. I change into leggings and a plain pink shirt. Right after I changed there was a knock on my door.

"Come in." Right away 5 lads came pouring in my room.

"Uncle Simon says it's time for us to eat" Liam says to me.

"Okay" I start walking out with them.

"Let me give you a piggy back ride" Harry cheerfully says to me.

"N-no its fine Harry." But it was too late, Harry grabs my body and puts me on his back.

"He's just doing that so he can have a feel of your body. He is quite a perv" Louis states to me in a joking matter .

"Shut up Louis no I'm not. Don't listen to him Ariel." Harry glares at Louis. I couldn't help but giggle on how these two lads argue. They are just so cute.

Finally from all that bickering with Harry and Louis we arrive in the kitchen. I see Simon giving me a weird look on his face. I wonder why. That's when I remember that I'm still on Harry's back.

"Ummm Harry you can put me down now" I say to him.

"Huh ... oh yeah. Sorry" He puts me down and blushes. The boys were chuckling from the back of him.

"Let's eat lunch shall we" I sit on the chair next to Simon.

Everybody sat down and started eating . Even though how appetizing the food looked and smelled I just couldn't eat . I just didn't feel hungry at all. I only took a few bites of my pasta and I was done. Simon noticed me not eating .

" Ariel you have to eat. You haven't been eating" Simon says to me with a worried expression.

"I just don't feel like eating . I'm not hungry." I know the boys were looking at me so I just stared down at my plate.

"You didnt even touch your food when we were on the plane. At least just take a few more bites." Simon begs. Just to please him, I start to eat again. Forcing myself to take a few more bites.

"So Ariel  how was your mom like? I bet you she was a sweet and kind person just like you. Also the best cook and telling corny jokes huh. I just heard so much nice things about her from Uncle Si." Louis says to me.

I freeze and start to remember the memories of my mom again. My heart starts to ache and my eyes starts to become watery.

"E-excuse me but I-Im not hungry anymore." I stutter, getting up from my seat and leaving as fast as I can away from the kitchen.

"Ariel wait!" Simon calls out for me. But I ignore him and get into the elevator to go to my room.

Simon POV:

"Really Louis. You had to bring up her mom into the conversation." I scold at him.

" I'm sorry Uncle Si I just wasn't thinking . I just wanted to make a conversation with her." Louis says with regret.

"It's okay Louis just next time think before you say. The poor girl just lost her mother a month ago." I sigh. Putting my head back on the chair.

"Yes Uncle Si." Louis lowers his head down. "Uncle Si is it okay if I can check on Ariel and make sure that she is okay. I also need to apologize." Louis asks for permission.

"Sure go ahead." I tell him.

"We'll go with you Louis." Liam says and they all left with Jim.

Ariel's POV

I ran into a room not caring which one it was. I just needed to let all of my feelings out . I couldn't hold it anymore. After crying my eyes out, I saw that I was in a music room. There was a big piano , guitars, and drums.

I walk over to the piano and sat on the piano bench. I started messing with the keys . I decided to play a song and sing. I chose : If I Die Young by the Band Perry

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh, uh oh

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother

She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh,

And life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no

Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, oh well

I've had just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life, oh well

I've had just enough time

And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom

I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger,

I've never known the lovin' of a man

But it sure felt nice when he was holdin' my hand,

There's a boy here in town, says he'll love me forever,

Who would have thought forever could be severed by...

...the sharp knife of a short life, oh well?

I've had just enough time

So put on your best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls

What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts, oh, no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar

They're worth so much more after I'm a goner

And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'

Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'

If I die young, bury me in satin

Lay me down on a bed of roses

Sink me in the river at dawn

Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh (uh, oh)

The ballad of a dove (oh, uh)

Go with peace and love

Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket

Save 'em for a time when you're really gonna need 'em, oh

The sharp knife of a short life, oh well

I've had just enough time

So put on your best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls.

After I played and sang the song I started to cry again. I felt arms wrap around me. I look up I see a crying Louis.

"I-Im so sorry Ariel."Louis hugs me tight.

I grab him and hug him as well. "Sshhhh.... it's okay Ariel. Everything will be okay" Louis rubs my back. Trying to calm me down.

Next thing I know I am in a big group hug with all the boys . That made me smile. They showed that they actually cared about me even though I barely know them.
