"You do realize we are going to go to jail, right?" I try to remain calm.

Megan faces changes quickly. "I didn't think about that at the time." She mumbles.

"That's exactly what I wanted for my birthday. To be in jail." I shake my head.

"Tori, I'm sorry." Megan steps forward to hug me.

I step back away from her. "Go downstairs while I think about what to do."

"But-"

"Go!" I yell pointing at the door. Megan looks from me to the boys and leaves the room.

I close the door and lean up against it. I don't want to go to jail. I'm too young. I'm only seventeen about to turn eighteen. What is my mom going to think? My dad would be so disappointed in me right now. At that thought, tears roll down my cheeks. What am I going to do? If we let them go, they would press charges. We can't keep that here. That would be so cruel. Why would Megan do something like this? I know she reacts before she thinks, but this is crazy. This is every girl's dream to have One Direction in their house. Crap. They're in my house and I'm crying like a baby in front of them.

I look up and see them watching me with sad expressions on their face. I lean off the door and wipe my face with the sleeve of my jacket.

"I'm so sorry for all of this." I step towards them and sit on the floor in front of Harry. I grab his wrists and inspect the knot that Megan tied. I begin untying the knot quickly. The boys watch me with curious eyes.

When Harry's wrists are untied, I start on his ankles. He rips the duct tape off his mouth and gasps in pain. "I can do that if you work on them." He points to the guys.

I nod my head and start on Liam's wrists. "I am so sorry about all of this. I had no idea Megan would do something like this." I apologize.

"I'm just glad you're not some scary murderers." Harry smiles at me. Why is he smiling at me? He was kidnapped! Harry works on Niall's wrists and I do Zayn's.

"These are some intense knots." Liam speaks up struggling with his ankles.

"I'll do it." I stop doing Zayn's for a second. "Megan went to boy scouts with her older brother when she was younger." I explain.

"What's your name?" Liam asks.

"Tori. Tori Adams." I say undoing Liam's knots.

"Thanks. I'm Liam Payne." He grins. Why are they so happy?

"Why are you so happy?" I blurt. "I mean, my friend kidnapped you. She kidnapped you! Shouldn't you be upset?"

The guys break out into grins. There they go again!

"Were not mad at you." Louis says.

"You should be! I would be furious if someone kidnapped me. Yet here you are so forgiving and nice." I complain. "Yell at me or something!"

Zayn rips the tape off his mouth. "We're not going to yell at you."

"Why not?" I whine.

The guys chuckle at me. "You're not the one that did this to us." Harry stands up stretching.

"But my crazy best friend did." I say. "And you're in my house."

Harry and Niall shrug their shoulders. Liam, Zayn, and Louis walk over to the window that looks out to the backyard.

"This is your house?!" Zayn gawks.

"Yep. My mom is never home, so normally it's just Megan and me." I walk over to them. From up here you can see the pool and part of the gym.

"You live alone?" Louis's eyebrows scrunch together.

"Uh yeah." I mumble. "Are you hungry?" I randomly ask.

"Carrots!" Louis yells.

I giggle quietly. "We have carrots." I say leading the guys downstairs.

"Whoa." The guys say behind me. Yeah. My house is pretty impressing.

When we reach downstairs, I find Megan curled up on the couch eating a gallon of ice cream. A dark blue blanket is wrapped around her while she watches The Notebook.

"Uh, Meg?" I say standing in the doorway.

Megan jumps up throwing the ice cream on the wooden floor and runs to me. "I'm so sorry Tori! I wasn't thinking at the time! I'm so stupid! If they press charges I won't say anything about you! I'll go to jail alone! Just don't be mad at me!" She cries hugging me.

"I'm not mad." I hug her back.

"Really?" Megan steps back noticing the guys behind me. "Are they leaving?"

"Yes."

"No." The guys say at the same time.

"You're not leaving?" I ask them surprised.

"Do you want us too?" Zayn asks.

"Of course not." I say too quickly. Liam smirks at me and I instantly blush. Ahh! I hate blushing! "I mean, you can stay if you want too."

"We want to make a deal with you." Harry steps forward.

I exchange a look with Megan. What are the up too?

"What kind of deal?" Megan asks.

"Well, the paparazzi and our agents think we are at a secret location." Harry starts. "If we left now they would see us at the airport and know where we were going. So, here's our deal. You let us stay here and we won't press any charges against you."

Say what?! One Direction wants to stay at my house? Someone pinch me I must be dreaming.

"For how long?" Megan steps closer to Harry.

The guys all exchange a look and nod. "A month." Liam grins. He's got that smile that could make any girl weak in the knees.

"A month?!" I find my voice.

"If we came back any earlier they would know something is up." Niall shrugs like it's no big deal.

"You don't have any clothes!" I point out.

Megan glares at me. "One second." She holds up a finger and drags me out of the room. "Are you crazy?" She yells in a whisper.

"Ow! Let go of my arm!" I pull my arm out of her grasp.

"One Direction wants to live here for a month! Why are you trying to make them leave?" Megan looks at me like I'm insane.

I shut the door. "I'm not trying too. I just don't understand why they would want to stay here. They could be in the Bahamas right now, but they want to stay here. That doesn't make any sense."

"Who cares?! Harry said they wouldn't press charges. They just need a place to stay. Maybe you and Liam." Megan nudges me in the side and winks.

I slap her arm away from me. "Yeah right. Liam would never date a girl like me."

"Whatever. Now let's go tell them!" Megan opens the door quickly and five boys tumble in the room.

"Were you listening?!" I cross my arms staring at them. I hope they didn't hear us talking about Liam. That would be awkward.

Louis climbs up off the floor and embraces me in a hug. "Thank you for letting us stay!"

I freeze when Louis's arms wrap around my petite figure. "You're welcome." I attempt to hide my red face.

"So about those carrots?" Louis grins.

I smile back at him. His happiness is contagious. "Follow me."
