"I'm leaving you gonna be okay?" Zayn's voice says.

"Yeah. I'll be fine. Have fun with Perrie." I say then hear footsteps retreating from the door.

I quickly finish washing my hair and everything else before I get out of the shower. I wrap a towel around my body then my hair.

I open the door and walk into my closet. I hum one of the those the boys used to song to me quietly as I look for some clothes.

I put on some jeans and a random shirt. I put my shoes on then take my hair out the towel I walk out of my closet passing the mirror. I stop in my tracks and walk back looking at myself.

I had gained some weight. My hair is longer. Skin is brighter than what it was. Funny how things can change in eight months.

I run a hand through my wet hair. I hold it up and watch as it falls to my waist.

"Alyssa? You done yet?" I hear Niall's voice yells from outside my door.

"Yeah.. just have to grab something." I yell back. I look at myself in the mirror one more time before I walk out of my room.

I go into Louis's room and into his closet. I grab one of his sweatshirts then walk out. I go into the rest of the boys room. I find another sweatshirt in Zayn's room then walk out.

I walk downstairs and stand in front of Harry and Niall. "Which one?" I hold up the sweatshirts.

They both laugh at me and shake their heads. I frown. "Neither?" I look to the sweatshirts. I thought they looked nice.

"Not that love. Just that we think you might have a slight obsession with Louis and Zayn." Harry says with Niall chuckling.

I blush a little. "To be fair I looked in all of your closets." I poke my tongue out.

"Wear Zayn's." Niall says and I nod throwing Louis' on the couch before I put Zayn's on. It fits me slightly too big but that's okay. It smells like him a little like smoke. But it's tolerable.

"Come on. Paul and Jesse are waiting for us." Niall says and we walk outside. Harry locks the door and we start walking down the street.

I had asked them if they wanted to take the car but they said you don't get the real experience by taking the car. I don't get it but whatever.

As we walk down the street I am looking around enjoying the scenery. Niall is talking with Jesse and Harry is on his phone. Paul is walking in front of me.

I catch up to him and he looks down at the sudden noise. I will admit he still scares me just a little. "H-hey Paul." I say and smile lightly up at him.

"What can I do for you Miss Alyssa?" He smiles back as we walk. I shake my head.

"Nothing. You just looked lonely so I'm being a friend." He chuckles and nods.

"Well thank you for that." He says. I smile and nod walking next to him.

"Alyssa come here we are taking a photo." I hear Harry's voice say. I look back to see him and Niall in pose stance. I run over and hop on Niall's back. I actually almost fell off when he didn't catch me at first.

Harry takes the picture. Then takes another one with us making goofy faces.

Once he finishes I jump off of Niall's back.

"Alyssa what's your twitter name?" Harry asks. I turn to him confused.

"My what?" I say looking at him weird.

"You know twitter. Social media. Internet." I shake my head.

"I don't have one." I say simply shrugging.
