Chapter 4 : Cannonball!
[Recap]:
"Well my final decision is ... " My dad started to say , so this is it, he could either agree and I'm gonna have the best time of my life with my best friends and one direction or he could simply say no and that would be the end of my friendship with the boys, what my dad doesn't realize is that he is going to decide my whole future with this small decision he was about to make now.
________________
"NO?" I could feel my heart fall down to the pit of my stomach, I can't believe it! My dad said no. I don't understand why? What's so different about this time that he isn't letting me go, it's just a cabin. And it's not with anybody , it's with One Direction, my new friends. To be honest, I was shocked.
" But why?" I questioned my dad's decision, all of the family was surprised, even Emma was expecting our dad to say yes, this could be the end of my friendship with the boys. I don't want to sound dramatic but this weekend is going to get everybody closer and I'd feel like an outcast if I don't go, I'll be the only one that they haven't got to know well and it just won't work. Plus, it's going to be super fun, what better way to start the summer holiday other than going to the forest?
"No means No!" My dad is as stubborn as I am, he stuck with his decision. Silence fell on the dining room, the only sound heard was my fork hitting my plate , all heads turned to me thinking I'll be mad, but right now, I just want to figure out why my dad thinks it's a bad idea.
"Dad , I just want to know why!" I told him truthfully and calmly, I couldn't think of anything that could cause my dad to say no.
" Honey, I know you really want to go-" My dad started saying but I interrupted him ," Dad just cut to the chase."
of course I said it in a sweet tone, I'd never be mean or rude to my dad unless I'm really THAT mad. My dad sighed and said embarrassed , " I just-" Another defeated sigh came out of my dad's mouth , he then continued speaking, " I mean, it's One Direction, they're famous. What if you get sucked into that world? I don't want you to forget about us!"
My heart fluttered at my dad's reason, I couldn't help but go around the table and hug him, he hugged me back and I said, still in the hug, " Dad, the cabin's location is unknown to paparazzi and fans, the only people who know that the cabin exists is the boys, Harry's family and well, now us."
My dad pulled away from the hug and looked me in the eyes, he then smiled and said, " If you put it that way then I guess you can go!" A smile that reached my ears was visible on my face. I excused myself and hurriedly made my way towards my phone to tell everybody the good news.
We made sure everybody was coming, the only one having trouble right now was Sarah, I really hope she comes , it wouldn't be the same without her remarks and bubbly personality.
.
Sarah's POV:
I was pacing back and forth in my bedroom trying to figure out a solution to my problem. Everything was fine until my parents remembered that they have to go to an important business meeting in Washington D.C for the weekend, they were fine with me going as long as I find someone to take me there.
My house is way too far to take a Taxi , my house is also too far for any of the girls to give me a ride. I was starting to give up on going , that's when Jazmine sent a message on our "Goofballs" group chat on What's app saying her dad finally agreed to let her come, I was so happy for her that I almost forgot about my problem. Key word almost.
Seeing that everybody was online, I thought this was a good time to tell them the bad news .
{ The conversation they had on their What's app group is in Italics! }
The Goofballs:
Jazmine: Hey guys, guess what?
Harry: What?
Liam: ??
Jazmine: No you have to guess!
Nabaa : hhhh Typical Jazmine.
Harmony: You have to guess or else she won't tell you.
Zayn: fine ... You bought a new shampoo?
Jazmine: what does that have to do with anything?
Zayn: Idk :p
Louis: :/
Niall: You got your nails done?
Jazmine: Do I look like a girly girl to you? Of course not!
Moe: Just tell us already.
Jazmine: My dad said YES!!!!! I'm coming!
Lucy: YAAAAAY!!!!
Liam: Remember we have to be there at 10 am tomorrow morning.
Nabaa: Chillax Liam we got this!
Louis: Chillax? I'm so going to use this word!
Sarah: Hey guys, I don't want to burst your bubble but we have a problem.
Lucy: Oh no ... What's wrong?
Sarah: My parents have an important meeting in Washington D.C this weekend and won't be able to drive me to the cabin, I'm sorry I guess I'm not coming!
Moe: NOOOOOO
Sarah: I'm afraid yes
Harry: That problem can be solved!
Sarah: Really?
Zayn: Yeah! We could rent a mini van and we'll come to collect you all and we'll just go to the cabin together.
Harmony: That sounds like a great idea.
Nabaa: I agree
Niall: Well then, it's settled, don't forget to send us your addresses.
Jazmine: How could you forget our addresses so fast?
Niall: I'm sorry I don't have super memory.
Lucy: Nevermind, we'll send it to you. :)
Sarah: Wait does that mean I'm coming?
Liam: yes!
Sarah: YAAAAAY! :)))))))))))
{end of conversation}
Still Sarah's POV:
YES! I'm actually going. I raised my fist in the air in victory. I went to tell my parents the incredible news and they were really happy for me, now I just have to pack everything really fast.
Oh .. And sleep early, of course .
. . .
In The Morning
The boys have come to give us all a lift in their rented grey mini van, it looked uncomfortable and lifeless from the outside but from the inside it was the complete opposite, we had a lot of space, the seats were comfortable and music was blasting loud , it looked like those cars that you see on Pimp My Ride. As soon as I joined everyone in the van I was sure we were going to have a great time.
forest ... here we come!
.........................................................................
All of the girls seem to love the forest very much, but why? How do you think the weekend will go? Find out in Chapter 5.

Nah! Just kidding! I got you there, didn't I? C'mon admit it .... It was a good joke. :p
Anyways, let's continue with the story, I already took enough of your time!
..........................................................................
Sarah's POV:
We are on our way to the cabin, which usually takes up to 2 hours or so I've been told, everyone was having fun in the mini van, we haven't even reached the cabin but it was obvious we were going to have a blast.
Everything was fine until we got pulled over by police because Louis the idiot was driving too slow.
" Guys I really don't like driving fast!" Louis said explained once we got back on the road. I think we'll need another extra half an hour to reach the cabin, I hope everyone is going to be okay with that.
As if Moe read my mind she said, "It's okay, Don't worry about it!" but then all the girls started laughing hysterically, they were about to stop but then they saw the confused faces of the boys and me included, they started laughing again.
"Just a memory, don't even ask!" Harmony said once she stopped laughing, I raised my hands in surrender showing her that I won't but I was confused, it was clear I didn't catch on with their inside joke but thinking about it now, they must be laughing at something I did in the past and that's why I'm not catching on.
Silence overtook the van, it was kind of peaceful, I looked outside my window and just stared at the beautiful view of trees passing by.
Nabaa's voice got me out of my thoughts," Guys sing something!" Yeah music would be nice, plus we've never gotten the chance to go to one of their concerts, it will be great to finally hear them sing live.
All the boys smiled indicating that they liked the idea, then they proceeded to have a silent conversation with their eyes probably trying to decide which song to sing when Liam started singing "Live While We're Young". (Play the video now! )
"Hey girl, I'm waitin on ya, I'm waitin on ya ... Come on and let me sneak you out..."
"out .. out ... out ... out" Jazmine sang in the background looking at us while wiggling her eyebrows with a smile on her face.
When they got to the chorus, we all joined in and started singing too getting lost in the song, everyone was dancing, now it was crystal clear we were going to have the best weekend of our entire lives.
* * *
We just parked the car outside the cabin, it looked enormous and fancy from the outside, it was so unlike any cabin I have seen before, and believe me ... I've seen alot.
"Dude, I thought we were going to a cabin not a 5 star resort?!" Jazmine exclaimed.
That just summed up everything, It was 2 stories high, with a clearing and camping fire that had a wooden bench from the front side of the cab- ... err ...I mean forest mansion! It was obviously made out of expensive wood but the front side of the cabin had windows, which I later discovered, the windows were bullet-proof AND they're one-sided.
One-sided means that if you are standing outside the cabin you can't see what's inside but if you're standing inside the cabin you can see what's outside, it's so cool, just like what you see on television!
"Wow ... Just wow!" Harmony was clearly speechless, amazement was evident in her voice and I think her voice held a hint of excitement too.
"Wait till you see what's inside!" Harry said while winking at us. Straight away, not wasting any more time, he unlocked the door and one by one we all piled in.
Literally, my bags were on the floor, so was my mouth. Standing at the entrance with my mouth wide open , I took in the mesmerizing view in front of me.
"HOLY MACARONI!" Moe said with her mouth hanging open as well.
"And this is what you get when you're friends with us!" Laughed Louis while pointing to the living-room we're in.
The ceiling was made out of wood but in a beautiful, decorated way. The floor was dressed in a dazzling carpet with all kinds of different patterns on it, I'm 100 percent sure the carpet was Harry's pick, that boy really got something for patterns. There was a fireplace in the middle of the room which had a shelf filled with awards and trophies. Multiple couches and tables were in the living-room too.
"MY DREAM HOUSE!!!!!!" Shouted Nabaa running to the next room, which happened to be the kitchen.
Jazmine gasped loudly then screamed, "HEAVEN ON EARTH, I finally found you!" Niall giggled at that and high-fived her, I guess that was his reaction too when he first came here, I can totally imagine that happening.
The boys gave us a tour around the whole cabin, which was even bigger from the inside, they have everything and anything here, even a gym! Now we were checking out the bedrooms, there were like 13 bedrooms in this cabin, why would somebody need this many bedrooms in a forest cabin?
My question was answered by Liam, " Don't worry, we don't spend all of our money on buying valuable things but this cabin is an exception because it was a gift to Harry's dad!"
"If you watched the X-Factor when we were on" Continued Harry, " You would tell that it got renewed!"
AWE! What a sweetheart!
Every single bedroom had a double-sized king bed, a nightstand right next to it and pretty much everything you ever dreamed of in your bedroom, including wonderful decoration.
" Now for our last destination..." Zayn lead us down some stairs, while we were going down the stairs, which were wooden too, we were talking about our favourite part of the movie Final Destination. (If you haven't watched it yet, I highly recommend it for you , unless you hate horror and blood then you must stay away!)
Once we reached the final step, well, we were shocked again, I thought I saw everything there is in this cabin but alas, I was wrong.
" A FREAKING POOL!!!" Lucy exclaimed.
Yep , that's right, they had a pool, a warmed pool. Could this get any better? Apparently, yes it could.
"You know we have a lake near from here, we're going to go there pretty frequently, take it from me!" Harry said as if it was nothing.
"Okay, not that I was skeptical before but this is so not what I expected!" Harmony said.
"Well, we're full of surprises!" Louis said and winked.
"I don't know about you guys but I'm starving!" Said Niall while holding his stomach. A couple 'Me toos' went by and that's when Harry offered to make some pasta.
We unpacked our things while Harry was cooking. Oh , Did I forget to mention that we managed to make our stay here longer, instead of only a weekend , we're staying here a whole week. What an exciting way to start the summer!
We all gathered in the living-room once Harry finished cooking, some of us sat on the couches and some of us sat on the ground, we were all sitting in a circle.
"Yum!" I said with my mouth full of pasta. It was so delicious, Harry is such a good cook.
"You're Welcome!" He answered whilst smiling.
"Since we're already sitting in a circle, How about we play a game?" Zayn suggested. We all agreed to play. "Well, What game do you want to play?"
"TRUTH OR DARE!" Both Louis and Moe yelled at the same time then burst out laughing, loudly may I add. Soon, we all joined them too.
We played Truth or Dare except we changed it a little bit. Since we were all tired, we decided we only have truths in this game, no dares. "Ow, Come on! Dares are fun!" Jazmine disapproved and crossed her arms.
"Fine, if you want we can play only dares tomorrow!" Liam said, always making sure we are all pleased, and now I can finally say I witnessed daddy direction behavior personally!
In the first round, the bottle pointed towards Lucy and Niall, Niall was supposed to ask Lucy and his question was, " What's your favourite food?" I guess not everybody thought it was a good question, Louis face-palmed and a 'Typical Niall!' came out in a hushed voice but I couldn't identify the speaker.
"What's wrong with my question?" Niall asked.
"Nothing , just answer it Lucy!" Liam said while chuckling.
"Ummm, well that's actually a hard one if you think about it." Lucy said while rubbing her chin, she always does that when she thinks.
"See!" Niall said and we all laughed.
"Well, I guess I have to go with pizza!" Lucy finally answered, " Pizza equals life." while pointing to her heart.
The next round , it was Harmony's turn to answer Moe's question, " What would you rather be? A horse or a cow?" Moe asked with a serious face.
"And that's why I prefer dares!" Jasmine blurted out, She got a " Oh Shut up!" from Harmony as a response.
"A horse , actually." Moe answered the very hard question, note the sarcasm.
My heart stopped when the bottle stopped at me, Louis was supposed to ask me a question ... Oh dear god ... Honestly, I'm a little bit worried but come on, you can't blame me for that ... I mean, this is Louis we're talking about, everything is possible with him!
"Do you like carrots?" Louis asked me ... Oh, that's actually better than I thought.
"I'm not a rabbit but yes I love carrots!" I said and then chuckled.
"I hate rabbits!" Niall uttered , everybody gasped and questioned why, " I just don't think there is a reason for them to be alive!" He shrugged, everybody gasped dramatically yet again, " Oh , you could stop being dramatic now, it's just my opinion." Niall defended himself, everybody let it go , just like Elsa :p
"Okay whoever is next, please ask a good question!" Nabaa exclaimed, I forgot she hates truths as much as Jazmine.
"Hey, I don't hate truths, I just prefer dares because they're more fun!" Jasmine argued. Wait, did I just say that out loud? " Yes, yes you did!" Lucy replied laughing.
Anyways, we got back into the game. I could tell Nabaa regretted her words because Harry was supposed to ask her next, "Who was your first kiss?" Harry asked her, she gasped.
I quietly giggled because Nabaa always said she gets the worst of questions and I guess, she's right.
"What? You wanted a good question well then there you go!" Harry defended himself when everyone started staring at him.
"I actually never kissed anyone before!" Nabaa answered honestly with no hesitation or shyness, you would think she was blushing but she wasn't. Nabaa was always like that, never ashamed of what she believes and she strongly believes that there's nothing wrong with waiting and I couldn't agree more.
Harry smiled at her confidence and said, "Okay then!" We were all smiling, such confidence without cockiness was very rare these days. That was one of my favourite things about Nabaa, she was confident, always speaking her mind but she was always down to earth.
We continued the game for a whole hour and it was now 5 in the afternoon, it's a good thing we decided to get on the road early because we got to have fun and it's only been a few hours since we arrived .
"Who wants to go swimming?" Zayn shouted while coming out of his room in only his swimming shorts, I'm sure every girl dreamed about being in our places right now.
"You're kidding, right?" Harmony said, "Of course, we're going swimming!" She continued.
"You don't have to ask us twice!" Moe exclaimed with a huge grin on her face.
And just like that everybody went into their rooms to get ready and before you could say "One Direction" We were all jumping into the pool.
"CANNONBALL!"
............................................................
So instead of a weekend in an amaZAYN cabin in the forest, the girls are staying for a whole week! Sounds like a dream come true to me. They're all having fun but beware, drama is coming for them soon!
*Runs away while readers chase her down with pitchforks and fire* *Tries to explain what's going on but falls down on her face* I'm really so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so sorry, that's a lot of 'So's by the way. Exams started and I'm sure you can relate to me when I say I was busy.
I hope you enjoyed this chappie, and I'm also sorry if my description of the cabin was bad, I admit describing places is not my strongest suit, but I attached a photo so make sure you check it out , it will give you a better vision of the cabin, Boy do I wish I could live there! Don't you agree? It looks awesome!
There's an obvious reason why I attached "Live While we're young" , because the boys sing it in the car but there is one more reason, and that's because the video contains some of the activities our group of friends will be doing later on when they go to the lake.
The drama is finally going to start in the next chapter so be ready!
Don't forget to smile! :)
We're all beautiful in our own way, never forget that!
-Yasmin
