-----------------Jessie's POV------------

I tip toed down the hallway, the cold wooden floor giving me shivers. Shadows of the falling snow shimmered on the grey wall. Quietly I creaked open the boy's door to their room. Allie was curled up with Max again, a smile on her face while she slept. I looked over to Nathan's bed in the far corner. I snuck past the rest of the boys, pulling the blankets higher over Jay, who was shivering. I stopped at the side of Nathan's bed, and gently ruffled his hair. He stirred, turning around to look at me. He blinked sleepily and gave me a lazy smile. "Time to get up." I whispered to him, pulling him up out of the covers. He looked at me confused. "Why..?" He said in a yawn. "We've got some fittings." I said, heaving him onto thr floor. He stumbled out, in his boxers and an old shirt. "Here." I said, tossing him some jeans.

He grinned, and then shimmied into his jeans. While he was getting ready I walked over to Jay, and shook him gently, trying to wake him up. "Jay!" I hissed in his ear, after several attempts of gently waking him up. He shot out of bed, smacking his head into mine. A loud thunk rang out through the room as our skulls colided, and Tom sprang out bed, looking alert. "BLODDY HELL!" He screamed in his thick Bolton accent. The world was spinning around me, and I sat down on the bed, holding my head in my hands. "Jessie!" Nathan cried, rushing over to me and tripping over his pant legs. Tom helped him up and went over to Jay, examinig his head. Nathan gently lifted my chin up, and I looked into his eyes. He was looking at my forehead with a frown, and rubbed the horrible bruise on my head gently. "Well, Jay must have a pretty hard head, because he looks fine, and he's fallen back asleep." Tom reported from behind me.

After I had put ice over my bruise, and we pulled Siva and Jay out of bed, we all headed out the door, the girls piling into the back of the van Kev had rented for us all. We were heading to a shop a little bit outside of the city, where the dresses were amazing, and it was less likely for us to be noticed. I was sitting next to Allie, teasing her about Max. "You two were sooo cute! All curled up next to eachother and everything." I exclaimed, loud enough for Max to hear. He turned around and winked at Allie. Her face turned beat red, and she punched me hard in the arm. "Hey!" I exclaimed, and punched her back. That soon turned into an all out brawl, and the boys and Kevin watched this fight with intrest, occasionally egging on the two of us. Nareesha and Kelsey simply ignored it, and continued gossiping about the latest celebrity news.

It was then over the talking that Allie screamed "ROBBIE HOTSKIN!" I stopped, and gave her the death stare. "Don't you dare..." I started, but it was too late. "YOU BOTH WERE SOOO CUTE! WHEN YOU TWO WENT TO THE MOVIES TOGETHER AND KISSED AND BOTH OF YOUR BRACES GOT STUCK TOGETHER." I looked at her in horror, as she pulled out her phone, and announced to the whole car, "I HAVE A PICTURE!" Max's face light up with glee, and he crawled back with us, saying "Oh I've GOT to see this!" Nathan followed him, a develish grin on his face. I burried my face in my hands, trying to hide my rosy cheeks.

"Found it!" Allie exclaimed proudly, giving her phone to Max and Nathan. Laughter erupted from Max, and he started crying from the laughter. Nathan followed his lead, and dropped the phone from laughing too hard. I snatched the iphone from the ground, and winced as I saw the picture. There was me, with pigtails and zits all over my face, stuck with a guy who had long hair and pimples all over his face. It was in 8th grade, and it was the worst kiss ever.

Jay grabbed the phone from my hand, and passed the phone around the car, letting everyone bask in my embarassment. Nathan hugged me, and attempted to calm himself down. He made eye contact with Max and started laughing again though. Moodily I slumped down in my seat, and called up to Kev, "Are we there yet?" Kev nodded, and we pulled up to the tiny building. "Right!" Nareesha called over the laughter, settling everyone down. "Allie, Jessie, and Kelsey, come with me, and Seev will lead the boys over to the tux department!" We all nodded, and slipped out the door, Nathan getting stuck in the seatbelt. Everyone went into fits of laughter again, and I tried to help him out, wiping the tears of laughter from my eyes. He stuck his tongue out at me and we ran after the group, rushing into the lobby with them. Jay was already walking over to the tux area, eyeing a purple suit. Siva rolled his eyes and kissed Nareesha, following him. Max and Tom said goodbye to Allie and Kelsey, and then it was just Nathan and I, the guys following Seev and Nareesha leading the girls into the dress department.

I looked up at Nathan and tried to communicate with him through my emotions. It had been getting easier, since we've been spending more time together. Work for me was starting tomorrow so it was gonna be hard, but I know that we'll make it through. I tried to form words, but it didnt work. I sighed, and felt him struggling to communicate with words too. "Oh well." I said, standing on my tippie toes and kissing him on the tip of the nose. He smiled, and gently kissed my nose. "I know you'll look beautiful." He said, letting go of my hand and walking away. I smiled, wanting to say more, but he dissapeared in the rows of tuxes before I could respond.

I looked at the clock, it had been almost 3 hours yet it felt like 1. Allie, Kelsey, and I had been trying on matching dresses, while Nareesha was browsing through wedding gowns. We hadnt even agreed on a single one yet. I was looking at us all in the miror, when Allie piped up suddenly, "I think I just saw Max." My head snapped up, and I looked into the racks of dresses. I could almost make out a man with a shaved head, and a boy with a tiny quiff behind him. Cooly, the girls and I slipped off the mirror stand and quickly went into the dressing rooms. "It's Max and Nathan!" I said, pulling off my dress and slipping into my regular clothing. "Their not supposed to see us!" Allie protested, getting changed into her clothing. A sly smile appeared on Kelsey's lips as she whispered her plan to us.

---------------Nathan's POV----------

Max and I couldnt even see the girls through the amount of dresses blocking our view. But somehow, they spotted us. "Crap!" Max murmured, watching them rush into the dressing room. He crouched down, and quietly walked over to the door of their dressing room. I tried to signal him to aboard, but it was useless. Sighing in defeat, I followed him, shiftly looking around. The two of us had gotten insainley bored after getting fittings, and picking out our tuxes. Tom, Jay, and Siva were still bickering over wether or not to let Jay have a purple tux or not. So, Max being the sneaky man he is, decided to drag me along as we tried to sneak a peek at the girl's dresses.

But, as we can see now, it backfired. I pressed my ear against the door, listening to Kelsey whispering something. Max then tensed up in front of me, and looked at me with horror in his eyes. He was about to sneeze. I pinched his nose, trying to prevent him from blowing out cover, but it didnt work, and he let out a huge "ACHOOOO." The whispers stopped, and before I could pull my head away from the door, it was kicked open, sending the two of us flying into the ground. I felt someone kick me hard in the ass and I got up and ran away. I heard Max shouting for me, but I just ran back to the tux section. Max came back about 10 minutes later, his head scribbled all over with lipstick. He was so angry that no one talked to him.

-----------------Jessie's POV--------------

The girls and I looked into the mirror satisfied (finally) with what we saw. We all wore a a beautiful blue and white dress. It went down to the floor, and was make of a silky material. It had a blue ribbon tied tightly around it, and it looked amazing on all of us. I was a bit self concious, and I kept spinning around to make sure it looked ok. Nareesha then came out, with the dress she had spent 4 hours choosing. Our breath was taken away as we all gazed at the beautiful gown. Nareesha walked out proudly, and walked in a full circle to show us how it looked.

We all squealed, and compliments spilled out of our mouth, and Nareesha was simply beaming. She gave us the ok on our dresses, as they went perfectly with her color theme, and we changed and put our dresses into bags. They were blacked out so the boys couldnt see them. We walked back into the lobby where the boys were arguing over something on their phones. "Whats wrong?" I asked Nathan, giving my dress to Allie to bring up to the cashier. He looked up at me worries, "Oh it's nothing, just something on twitter." I had a suspicion it was about One Direction, but I ignored it and went up to pay for the dresses with Nareesha and the girls.

I sat next to Nathan on the car ride home, dozing off to sleep. Kev was a horrible driver though, so we were constantly coming to sharp stops. I yawned, and pulled my hood over my head. Nathan was rubbing my back soothingly, and he kissed the top of my head. "Go on home and sleep." He said to me. "Nah..." I protested yawning, "I need to go to your show tonight." Nathan rolled his eyes and continues, "But none of the other girls are going, and you have work tomorrow. There will be plenty other gigs Jessie." He said chuckling. I frowned, but I kept my mouth shut. I was tired, and I needed to get up early for work tomorrow.

I nodded sleepily, and drifted off to sleep. Through the speakers Paradise was playing, it seemed to almost ease the worry I had for the next coming weeks. I still needed to introduce Nathan to my brothers and my Dad, but we were going to do that after I saved up enough money and after the wedding. Nathan leaned down and kissed me gently, whispering in my ear "Go to sleep my love."
