*Third Person PoV* 

Megan watched as Liam held his hand out to her. He did want to make friends with the face here. He knew it was scary to walk into this alone. He watched her hesitant. She had no expression but you could tell she was scared. He offered her a warm smile that even reached his eyes. He nodded slightly and whispered. "go ahead. No one here judges." She nodded and took his hand. 

She looked back to the counselor and got out in a rough mumble. "I'm Megan, i go to NorthWest High and i'm... " Liam was about to let go of her hand when she held it tightly. It was taking a lot of effort for her to say this stuff and not have a smoke.  Megan took a deep breath which caused her shirt line to lower. It reveled her secret. The scars were clearly there. 

No one gave this girl pity. Liam gently squezzed her hand in a comforting way and nodded. "I'm 16 and almost a half." She finished and looked around at the rest of the group. The Boy on her right the one with dark raven black hair, more dark brown eyes, tanned skin, clean features looked over to the new girl. He gave her a slight nodded and went back to playing with something. 

The Boy sitting next to that one had blonde hair. It was dyed blonde and the brown was showing on the sides. He had blue eyes and seemed to be lost in his thoughts. He hasn't said anything either but he gave Megan a sweet smile and a thumbs up.  Megan chuckled very slightly and silently. He jokingly bowed and Megan bowed back to this boy. 

The one next to him had curly hair. It was the type that makes you just want to run up in pet it. He looked over to Megan and just watched her. He was just watching Megan the whole time yet said nothing. His dark but bright green emerald eyes took in everything but yet nothing. He flashed a few second smile and took the boys hand next to him. 

 That boy had brown hair. Megan thought "Why does every boy here pretty much have brown hair?". His eyes were hazel this time and he was dressed in neon red pants and stripes. He had this easy going aura about him sat close to the other lad. He gave her a smile and made a funny face. This caused most of the group to laugh and he smirked. 

 The councilor took the topic off Megan and continued with their session. Yes even Megan enjoyed herself. She really did feel welcomed in this group. Even if they were just strangers. There were other kids but none that caught her eye of people she might tolerate. A look of confusion appeared across Megan's simple features as she watched everyone get up. 

They all stood in the circle and took hands. Liam motioned for her to get up and she did. She was still holding this hand the whole time. Megan took the boy with Raven hair's hand and listened as they sang something simple but it had a lot of vocal power and meaning to the words.

"There's only us

There's only this

Forget regret or life is yours to miss

no other road 

no other way

NO DAY BUT TODAY "

they sang this about four times before people broke apart and said goodbye. Most had just came from school so the clutter of backpacks soon slowly faded. Megan felt terrible that she had to go back to her home life after she just felt at home. The Liam boy stopped her from leaving. "Want to  come over to my place? the group and i think it'd be fun." 

Megan looked surprised. No one has ever invited her over to hang out before. She wasn't sure what to say and was thankful when the curly haired boy spoke next. "Li, you mean Megan i don't want to let go of your hand, please come home with me." He smiled and even Liam laughed at his humor but blushed as well. This caused little Megan to nod and blush a bit. "sure, i'll go." she told him. 

Liam gave her another smile as the boy with stripes gently smacked the curly one on the back of the head. "Haz, you no better." He gave the other boy a innocent look and smiled a secret smile. Megan felt awkward so she cleared her throat. " okay now that the cutesy is over, i say we head back now. Niall is starving." The raven haired boy said with his arm around the fake blonde's shoulders. 

Liam nodded and looked at Megan. "Are you ready to go on an adenventure?" He questioned as he strung is backpack on his own shoulder. Megan grabbed her own bag and nodded. "Yeah lets go." She told him as they all walked to Liam's house. His parents were out. He showed her around the place. It was very simple and very cliche. 

Liam pushed his own room door open. This was the last stop on the home of Liam tour. Everyone dropped their bags by his closet and sat around. The curly haired boy and the one in stripes on his bed and snuggled. The raven haired one sat on a bean bag chair with the fake blonde in his lap. That left Liam to sit on the floor and Megan in his spinney chair.

(Random A/N: I love spinny chairs) Megan studied the room before speaking up. "So what do  i need to know about everyone then?" Liam took this time to play leader. "well as we know, I'm Liam. The boy over there on the bean bag in Zayn, the one in his lap is Naill." He then pointed to the ones on his bed. "That's Harry." He was the one with curly hair. "There other is Louis." That was the one in stripes. "They also go by Larry."

Megan raised an eyebrow to this statement. "Do i even want to know?" She asked Liam watching the two boys on the bed. "That's their bromance name." He was about to continued as Louis cut in. "LARRY IS REAL!!" He said as he leaned in and kissed his boyfriend sweetly. Megan quickly looked away. "So they are together. Understood." She said as Harry gave her a cheeky smile.

Liam sighed. "To continue. Zayn and Niall act like they are together but none of us are sure if they are hiding a romance from us. I'm single and like just girls and they like to set me up." He gave Megan a pleading look and continued before he could be stopped. "We all go to Northridge and all are Juniors." Megan nodded. "Same here... so if i can ask.. why do you guys go there?"
