Our night got off to a rocky start with Chase interrupting it. My daydream is still puzzling me. I was torn out of my trance by Louis.
“Sorry. We were just trying to help you!” Louis said apologetically.
“Alex, has he ever hit you?” Liam asked concerned.
“No! God he was angry, but he’s never laid a finger on me! Niall you could’ve just dropped it, he would’ve left eventually.” I commented rudely.
“He was being a douchebag. A real boyfriend wouldn’t have stayed quiet. Plus you didn’t deserve that. You’re too good for him.” Niall said raising his voice.
“Fine. I guess I can’t be mad anymore. You are all such good friends.” I said gratefully.
“Lex, are you sure you’re ok? I can call the security for the building!” Taylor asked.
“Stop being such a worrywart! I’ll be fine! Just go enjoy your dinner with Harry. I’m perfectly safe with the boys. Even if they aren’t the strongest, there are 4 of them so odds are I’ll be able to escape while they’re getting the snot kicked out of them. Have fun!” I responded.
“That was a bit hurtful. I’ll go order the pizzas.” Zayn added.
“So are we playing COD?” I wondered aloud.
“Nope. We were thinking Mario Kart.” Niall answered.
“What a rip-off! That’s a 4 player game! Who wants to sit out?” I exclaimed.
“Well, sorry. We didn’t actually think you’d play, miss sarcasm” Louis sassed back.
“I’ll just watch, I guess.” I whined.
“While we’re getting everything set up why doesn’t Niall play that new song he wrote, so he can get another opinion.” Liam mumbled.
“C’mon, please little spud! With sugar and a cherry on top!” I begged with my cutest puppy dog face.
“Fine.” Niall replied. (sings “I Would” -Justin Bieber)
“Aw, that’s so sweet! The girl that won’t date you is an idiot! You’re so sweet! You should sing it to her!” I said gushing about the song.
“He just did.” Zayn mumbled quietly. Unfortunately we all heard him.
“Zayn meant that I just did, last weekend. Ooh! Pizza’s here! Yes!” Niall said quickly.
We ate and talked while the 4 boys played Mario Kart. After Mario Kart got boring Louis hijacked my iPod and started playing random songs. Eventually, my favorite song of the moment came on “The Way” by Ariana Grande/Mac Miller. I started to sing Ariana’s part and then Niall suddenly started rapping Mac Miller’s part. I was clenching my teeth trying not to laugh. Niall rapping was such a weird and foreign concept in my mind. The song finally finished and I burst out laughing.
“That was super weird!” Louis said breaking the awkward silence of my laughter.
“Sorry. That song has been stuck in my head all day! How was I supposed to know that Ni could or would start to rap the other part of the song!” I responded.
“Sorry to interrupt any flirting but Mario Kart is ready to go again!” Liam interrupted.
“Dibs on Yoshi.” Niall said rolling his eyes at the flirting comment Liam made.
*2 hrs. later
I must have fallen asleep, because I woke up on Niall’s lap. I could hear the boys talking, I hadn’t opened my eyes, so I did what any normal person would do - eavesdrop. I tried to keep a steady breath and keep my eyes closed, so I resembled a sleeping person.
“Aw, look at Alex and Nialler all loved up and cuddling.” Zayn teased.
“We’re NOT cuddling” Niall whisper yelled.
“Why is she on your lap then?” Louis questioned.
“She fell asleep! I’m not gonna wake her up. She’s probably exhausted. She had to hang out with us all night.” Niall said, defending himself.
“Niall, you need to tell her or you’re going to end up getting hurt. I see the way you look at her. I’m pretty sure she likes you too. Just tell her before it’s too late or you’ll regret it for the rest of your life.” Liam warned.
“Fine! You’re right. I’m in love with her! She is beautiful and smart and sarcastic and talented and stubborn and I love every side to her! Why would she like me anyway? She’s too good for me- I could never be there for her.” Niall explained sweetly.
“Niall, you’re a good guy with a big heart. While you might not physically be there for her, you’re only a phone call or a text away. There’s even Skype and twitter, the 4 of us all maintain relationships. You deserve to be happy too! If being with her would make you happy, then I’m all for telling her. You just need to make sure you protect yourself too. We all worry about you, you’re like our baby brother. You tend to put your heart on the line and get hurt more often than not” Zayn added protectively.
“Sh! She’s waking up! Hey Lex, it’s like 3 am. We were just going to go to sleep.” Louis whispered quietly to me.
“Oh, ok. I’m gonna get a quick snack first! Does anyone want anything while I’m in the kitchen?” I asked generously. No one responded so I continued walking to the kitchen.
Once I got out of earshot I started fangirling. I can’t believe what I heard. Calm down Alex. You don’t know if they were even talking about you. They kept saying ‘her’. Don’t rush into this, you know what ends up happening, you get your heart broken and he walks away unscathed. I just don’t want to be alone anymore. I want to share my life with someone, someone I trust with my life. You can’t find love unless you put yourself out there. I guess you have to go through heartbreak to find the right person. I’ve learned that I can never change myself to try and fit someone else’s version of perfect. I’m going to find out if they were talking about me, whether or not I look like a fool doesn’t worry me right now.
