You woke up the next morning to hear Zayn’s beautiful voice. “I’ll be here by your side. No more fear. No more crying. But if you walk away I know I’ll fade cause there is nobody else…” he sang. You lifted your eyes to meet his. You loved Zayn’s eyes. “Goodmorning beautiful.” he said. “Morning Zayn.” He kissed your forehead. “Is everyone up?” you asked. Zayn nodded. “Come on, let’s go downstairs.” he said as he jumped off his bed. You followed him. Zayn scooped you up into his arms, bridal style. “Ahhh! Zayn!” you laughed. He carried you all the way downstairs to the kitchen where everyone was snacking on some fruit. “Oh, goodmorning you two!” Liam cheered. Zayn put you down onto the cold floor. “Morning.” he replied. Liam tossed you an apple. “Thanks.” you said. Liam smiled then nodded. You took a look at Niall who had his head down. “Morning Niall.” you said softly. He lifted his head. “Morning.” he said very gently. You could barely hear him. Harry quickly looked at you. “Alrighty then, I booked us a private course for eight from 12:00 to 4:00.” Louis said. “Four hours of go karting?” Harry asked. Louis nodded. “Of course! It’s not only go karting. It’s other stuff too. Like… Eating…” he said. “Make that seven.” Niall spoke up. Everyone’s heads’ turned towards him. That was the first time he spoke since yesterday. “What?” Zayn asked as he took a seat beside Liam. You sat down next to him. “I’m not going.” he said. “What?!” everyone in the room said at once. Niall jumped. “I'm sorry! I just don’t feel too good.” he lied. You could see right through him. “Come on Niall.” Danielle said. “Please, come.” Liam asked. He shook his head no.
“Alright. We’re not going to make you go if you don’t want to.” Harry said. You didn’t like his attitude. If he needed to say something then just do it already. It was already 10:30. “Come on guys, we have kind of a long drive to the place so let’s all get ready.” Liam announced. Everyone got up off their seats and scattered. Besides Niall. You stopped for a moment. “You sure you don’t want to come?” you asked him. He looked up again. He said nothing. Just nodded. You sighed then followed everyone else up the stairs. You walked into your room. “Niall’s not feeling too well huh?” Eleanor questioned as she got out some clothes. You and Dani shrugged. Everyone knew he was lying. You headed into the bathroom. You were just about to open the door when someone grabbed you forcefully. “Ouch!” you said. It was Harry. “Please, don’t be upset that Niall isn’t coming.” he begged. You rolled your eyes. “Niall should know that he can come and talk to me. There's really nothing to be afraid of.” you said. “He doesn’t know how to express himself just yet. What did I tell you last night? He has mixed emotions and needs to settle them straight.” he answered. You rolled your eyes again. “Just don’t be mad at him.” he requested. You nodded. “Okay.” Harry sighed. You turned around then headed into the bathroom.
Within about forty minutes, everyone was ready and downstairs. “Everyone ready?” Liam asked as he double checked his watch. Zayn put an arm around you. “You ready babe?” he asked. You nodded. Louis turned around to see Niall on the couch. “Niall, last call!” he shouted. He waved you guys on. “Go, have fun.” he said. Everyone exchanged some looks and sighed. “Alright.” Eleanor said quietly. “Come on lads.” Liam said as he steped out the door with Danielle. You all hopped into the van. Harry sat next to you. “Remember what I asked you.” he whispered in your ear. “Don’t be mad at him.” you said to yourself. Instead of saying it out loud you playfully punched him. He smiled. So did you. You couldn’t help but think about Niall the whole car ride. You were there within an hour. “Here we go!” Zayn said as he hopped out of the veichle followed by everyone else. Liam put his arm around you. “How you doing there champ?” he asked.
“Very well. Thank you. How about yourself?” you asked back. “Just dandy.” he said with a smile. Once inside Louis went to the counter. “Tomlinson.” he said to the lady at the front. “Tomlinson? Right this way.” she said as she guided all of you to a closed court. An instuctor came over to explain everything that you needed to know about driving a go kart. Beng careful, using breaks, turning, etc. After a couple times of practicing around the court you noticed something different. You were attracting a crowd of teenage girls. Girls were standing outside the track barricades with their cameras, phones, some were giggling or even cheering names. “Are you all ready to race?” the instructor asked. You all looked at eachother and nodded. “Game on!” Louis said. “Alright then, you’ll all need a partner. But since there’s an odd number of you, one of you will have to be by yourself.” “I call Eleanor!” Louis shouted. “I call Danielle!” Liam followed. “I got _____!” Zayn added as he grabbed you. “Hey!” Harry said. “Sorry lad.” Louis apologized. “Is it alright if you’re by yourself?” the instructor asked. Harry nodded. “I guess.” he answered back.
“Alright, pick your karts and let’s get this game started!” You and Zayn raced over to the nearest kart. You all strapped on your helmets and buckled yourselves in. “Alright, now guys, be careful! Please, we don’t want anyone hurt and if something goes wrong-” Liam started off proclaiming from his kart. “Oh hush Liam! This is giong to be fun!” Louis called back. Danielle poked Liam a few times. “You ready babe?” Zayn asked you. You nodded. “Alright, if you think I’m going too fast, want me to stop or anything just tell me.” he said. You nodded. “Yeahhh, now let’s win this thing.” he said as he took your hand and intwined his fingers with yours. You nodded and smiled. “On your marks!” the instructor said. You looked over and saw that there was a giant screen in the arena showing all of you. The fans were screaming and cheering. “Get set!” he continued on. You looked at eachother. “Game on.” you heard Harry say. “Go!” the instructor exclaimed. You took off. Fans were screaming at every possibly direction you could think of. They were going nuts. Louis and Eleanor were in the lead followed by Harry, Liam and Danielle, then you and Zayn. “Zayn, we’re losing!” you told him. “Don’t worry. I got this.” he assured you. You ended up racing around the track four times. This was your last lap. You all stayed within the places you were at, besides for Liam and Danielle who were now in front of Harry. You saw the finish line. “Hold on babe!” Zayn yelled. “Hold o-?” you stopped. Zayn stepped on the gas as hard as he possibly could. “Oh My God!” you screamed. Fans went crazy loud. You passed Harry. “What the?!” he screamed. Then Liam and Danielle. “Hey!” Danielle and Liam screamed at the same time.
You were coming up to Louis and Eleanor. “Louis! Look out!” Eleanor warned. You were right on his tail. “Ahh!” Louis screamed as he tried stepping harder on the gas. Zayn swarmmed around them to come into first place. “Woooo hooooo!! Yeah!!!” you heard all the fans cheering. “Zayn! Zayn! Zayn! Zayn! Zayn! Zayn!” they all cheered. Zayn jumped out of the kart, picked you up and spun you around. Fans went even louder. Then came Louis and Eleanor, Liam and Daniele and finally Harry. “You cheaters!” Louis accused you as he removed his helmet from his head. You and Zayn ignored him. You just celebrated your victory. “It wasn’t fair. I didn’t have a companion. My confidence level wasn’t very good.” Harry complained. You all just smiled. The instructor handed you and Zayn a fake gold trophy. “Wooo hooo!” Zayn shouted as he held it up for the fans to see. You all laughed along. Once your little celebration was over, the boys headed to the fans to do some signings and take some pictures. You, Eleanor and Danielle sat on a bench waiting for them to finish. Some fans were calling your names and taking pictures of you. You checked your Twitter. Who mentioned you? Zayn.
“Just finished up some go karting with Danielle, Eleanor and the lads. @_____ and I came in 1st place!! Love you!! MWAH! :D x” Another tweet from Louis. “@zaynmalik @_____ : @EleanorJCalder and I won in spirt!! ;)” A tweet from Harry. “@_____ @zaynmalik @Real_Liam_Payne @Louis_Tomlinson @EleanorJClader @DaniellePeazer In my defense, I was alone. I needed a friend.” And finally, a tweet from Liam. “Go karting today with the lads and the girlies!! @_____ got some serious karting skillzz. Go folllow his beautiful girl!! ;) xxx” All those tweets gained you hundereds of thousands of followers. You were at 823,987. Wow. But then you checked Niall’s twitter. His last tweet. Tweeted about ten minutes ago “That feeling when you don’t know what to do anymore, or how to describe. Yeah. Feeling that right now…” you sighed. “Oh Niall.” you said to yourself. After the boys were finished signing they came over to you. The fans were still there however. Liam put his arm around Danielle as Louis sat on Eleanor’s lap. Zayn picked you up and spun you around once more. “Weeee!” you shouted. He put you back down and wrapped his arms around your neck and leaned his head on your shoulder while he kissed your cheek. More fangirling. “I love you.” he said. You smiled. “Love you more.” you teased. He smiled his beautful smile. No one understood how much Zayn meant to you. “I’m unloved.” Harry said with a frown. “Awwww. Come here Harry.” Zayn motioned him into the hug he was giving you. He gladly came over and wrapped his arms around both of you. “Well don’t leave us out!” Liam said while coming over with Danielle. Him and Danielle hugged you as well. Meanwhile, Louis came jumping on all of you, nearly making you fall down. "Yahhooooooo!" he cheereed as he body slammed into Zayn and Harry. "Woahhhh!" you heard them both as they lost their balance for a second. You felt Eleanor come into the hug as well.
“Awwwww!” the crowed cooed. You felt everyone's laughter around you. You went a few more times on the track, taking turns with the karts and just going for the fun of it. You grabbed some lunch at 12:30. Nothing special, just some chicken fingers and fries. Time flies when you’re having fun. It was now 3:50 pm. Time to leave. “Come on guys, time to go.” Liam said. “Awww. Can we stay a bit more?!” Harry asked. Liam shook his head. “Nope. Louis arranged for 4:00.” he said. Harry looked at him with another frown. “And you thought that four hours was a long time.” Liam gloated in his face. Harry pushed him over. Liam chuckled. The boys waved to their fans goodbye as they all waved back and cheered “Bye!” You loved how nice the fans were to them. You jumped back into the van. “Home James!” Zayn called out. "Ummm my name is Louis..." Louis replied to him. "It's an expression Lou." Zayn replied. Louis obnoxiously rolled his eyes. "Peasant." he said. Zayn's eyes widened as he looked around at everyone. You all chuckled.
You, Eleanor and Danielle were sitting in the back. “Well that was fun.” Eleanor said. “I’d do that again.” Danielle added. You laughed. “Louis is upset. He thinks you and Zayn cheated.” El said. You laughed again. “Because you did!” Louis responded back to you. Oh Louis. The ride back was much shorter than the ride going to the place. “Flat, sweet flat.” Harry said as Lou pulled into the driveway. You all jumped out. Niall was on his phone in the living room. “Honey, I’m home!” Liam called to Niall. Niall smiled a bit and welcomed you all back. “How was it?” he asked. “Loads of fun.” Louis told him. He nodded. You all sat down on the couches. All you did was watch the telly for the rest of the day. You were too tired to do anything else. When it was approaching around 7:00 Danielle asked if anyone wanted dinner. “Me!” Zayn said happily. “Do you?” Liam wondered. “I do.” Zayn replied with a happy face. Danielle smirked. “Why don’t I order pizza?” she asked as she got up off the couch and headed towards the phone. She picked up the phone and dialed the number. “Yes, I’d like to place an order for pickup.” she said. “Two large pies. One plain and one pepperoni. Okay. Alright thank you.” she ordered.
You, Zayn, Liam and Danielle were on one couch while Eleanor, Louis, Harry and Niall were on the other. Niall was still quiet. Your phone went off. “New Text Message: Harry” it read. You looked at him. He looked at you and said nothing. “I want to talk to you.” it read. You nodded but he didn’t move a muscle. About fifteen minutes later he spoke up. “_____ and I are going to go pick up the pizza.” he announced as he stood up off the couch. You followed without question. “Thanks man.” Louis said. Harry nodded as he walked over to the door.
“Come on.” he said. You went out the door. “What’s up?” you asked him as he shut the door from behind. You jumped into the van. “I wanted to say that I think you should talk to Niall tonight.” he said as he backed out of the driveway. “What?” you asked. He nodded as he started down the road. “Please?” he asked. “Ummmm...." “Oh come on. Please? None of us know how long Niall is going to be like this. I’m the only one who knows that it’s obivously about you. Maybe if you talk to him he’d feel comfortable.” Harry tried convincing. You sighed. “He really shouldn't be afraid. I mean do I look like I'm difficult to talk to?” you told him. Harry sighed as well. “I know. But he can’t help it. He’s Niall.” he told you. You thought about it. There was silence for a few minutes. Then you pulled up to the pizza shop. You and Harry walked inside and picked up your order. “Please?” he asked again as you stepped outside. You gave in. “I guess I could chat with him a little bit.” you said. He smiled. He put the pizzas in the car as you headed back home. “That’s my girl.” he said. “But what should I say?” you asked. Harry shrugged. “I dunno. Just be yourself. Tell him everything you want him to know. He likes honesty.” You nodded. You got back home with the pizzas. “Food’s here!” Harry called as he opened the front door. Louis and Zayn scurried over to you to take the boxes. They set them down on the table as Eleanor passed out some paper plates. Two slices each. You sat down, ate and discussed random things. After you finished chowing down you all resumed your place back in the living room. Harry kept signaling you to speak with Niall throughout the night. You ignored him. About an hour or so later Niall got up and headed upstairs without saying anything to anybody. Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Now was your chance. Another text message. From Harry.
“GO UPSTAIRS NOWW!!!!!!!!!!” it read. You looked at him and smiled. He smiled back. You took a deep breath and followed Niall upstairs without saying a word. No one said anything. They just watched you. You headed up the stairs and went into the hallway where you saw Niall in his room. The door was open. He wasn’t doing anything. Just sitting on the bed. You took another deep breath. You knocked on his door. “Niall?” you asked meekly. He looked up. “Hey.” he said again so soft that you could barely hear him. “Can I talk to you?” you asked. All he did was nod. You invited yourself inside and took a seat next to him. Your heart was racing. You didn’t know how this conversation would turn out. You were nervous. Scared actually.
