Niall POV
I smiled at Lewis as he took another shot. I just took two shots tonight. I didn't want to go overboard tonight because I know if I go back to the bus I would scare Alexis when I'm drunk. She didn't come tonight and I'm kind of upset. Yes, I know she doesn't like clubs but she would've just stayed with me all night and I would be sober just for her.
Recently, I have been these feeling towards Alexis. Whenever I see her in a room or when she walks up to me I could feel butterflies in my stomach and I haven't felt in years. She loves to take care of me like earlier today. I was so nervous about tonight show and she just know what to see or knows how to make me feel better.
I took a sip of my drink as I saw Tara walking over to me with her drink in her hand. I smiled at her and she sat down next to me and smiled at me.
"You're not drinking tonight?" she asked me
"I'm not going overboard tonight" I told him
"Are you not going overboard because of Alexis?" she asked me
"What do you mean?" I asked her
"I know you don't want to scare her when you go overboard" she said
"Yes that's true" I told her
"Do you miss her tonight?" she asked me and I smiled at her
"Yes I do. I wish she could be here tonight" I told her
"Me too. So, I could have another girl to talk to tonight and not talk to you boys" she said and I chuckled
"Hey you know you can talk to me when I'm here right?" I asked her and she chuckled
"Yeah but you're a boy. I can't talk girls stuff with boys" she said and I chuckled
"Of course you can't" I told her as I took a sip of my drink
"Do you like her?" Tara asked me out of the blue and I looked at her
"What do you mean? As friends yes" I said as I tried to steer away from the subject
"No I mean like like her" she said
"Maybe. Why?" I asked her
"I knew it" she said as she pointed her finger at me
"Yeah so, I know she won't like me back" I told her
"She does because she told me" she said and I looked at her
"What? What do you mean? Don't be lying to me Tara" I told her
"I'm not. She does like you and I know it because she told me. She told Lewis. I could ask Lewis to be my witness but we all know he not good enough to do that" she said as we saw Lewis taking shots after shots with the band
"Okay. I get your point but I don't know how and when to tell her" I told her
"Just whenever your alone with her you could tell her or take her on her date or something. I don't know just do something before someone else gets her before you" she said and I chuckled
"And your fine with her being my girlfriend?" I asked her
"Yeah. She is sweet and nice. I know she will take care of you and stuff. Also, she is my friend too. I just need you two be happy" she said and I smiled at her
Tara and I just were talking about stuff until David came into the club. He is not dressed. He is wearing pair of pants and a light blue t-shirt.
"You two why are you not answering your phones?" David asked as he was out of breath
"Our phones were off. What's wrong and why are you out of breath?" Tara asked him
While she asked that the first thing could came into my mind is Alexis. Something might have happened to Alexis because she was on the bus with David.
"What happened to Alexis?" I asked him worriedly
"She's okay now because she's asleep but I went out to get her food because she said she was hungry but she didn't eat anything. When I got into the bus she was crying. I asked her what's wrong and why she is crying but she won't tell me. But I feel like she will tell you if you go there. But, I don't know if you should wake her up when you go to the bus because she's fast asleep now" David said
"Something might have happened if she was crying" Tara said
"Was she crying so much?" I asked David and he nodded "Yeah something has been happened" I told Tara
"Go back to the bus and cuddle with her" Tara told me
"Are you sure? If I leave the boys they are going to ask where I'm going or something" I told her
"I'm just going to tell them something. Just go" she said
"Okay" I told her
I said goodbye to her as I gave her a hug and walked out of the club with David. I went to the bus and saw that Alexis is sleeping. She has her fuzzy blanket around her and I could see tears streaming down my face.
"You don't know what happened to make her cry right?" I asked David
"No she didn't want to tell me. She just asked for a cuddle which I gave her one and I stayed her until she slept" he told me and I nodded
"Okay. I think I can take care of her until the morning. Thanks for taking care of David" I told him
"You're welcome. If you need anything I will be up front" he said and I nodded
I decided to change into a pair of sweats and a light blue t-shirt. I looked at Alexis one more time before getting into the bunk without waking her up. I wrapped my arms around her and she immediately snuggled her head on my chest. I smiled and kissed her head. I don't know what happened to her but I just want to be with her once she wake up.

Alexis POV
I woke up with a pair of arms wrapped around me. Did David stay with me the whole night? I thought. I opened my eyes to see it's Niall. What. When did Niall came and sleep beside me? I looked at Niall to see he is s asleep. He laid his head on the extra pillow that's on my bunk. Did he stay here for the whole night? I don't know what's going on. I stayed with Niall and thought about what happened yesterday. Both of my parents are dead. They are not alive. I need to plan the funeral and everything but most importantly after this tour I can't leave at my house anymore. I can't leave at my house anymore in London because my daad always paid for my bills and stuff. Now I don't that much money to pay the bills for my house so I have to think about that too.
After a while, I needed to go pee. I decided to get up from the bunk but Niall didn't let me because he has arms are tighten around my waist. I nudged Niall to let go of me but he didn't.
"Niall" I said and he opened his eyes "Good morning" I told him as he looked at me and he looked where his hands where
"Oh sorry but good morning" he said as he removed his hands from my waist and his morning voice is so hot
"How did you sleep?" I asked him
"Good. How about you?" he asked me
"Good. But I need to go pee" I told him and he chuckled
"Okay go pee" he said
I giggled as he pushed me out of the bed slightly and I got up to go pee. After I did my business I went back to my bunk to see Niall is scrolling on his phone. He smiled as he saw me and I slid onto the bunk to lay down beside him.
"Can I ask you something?" Niall asked me and I looked at him
"What is it?" I asked him
"We were in the club last night but David came in running and said you were crying yourself to sleep last night. What happened?" he asked me
I remembered I didn't tell him about my parents last night since he came to the bus late.
"My parents passed away" I told him and I couldn't help but cry again but this time I'm crying in front of him
"Oh god Alexis. I didn't know that. When did this happen?" he asked me as he wrapped his arms around me and gave me a hug
"When you went to the club I got a call from the hospital saying that my parents passed away" I told him
"Oh I'm so sorry Alexis. You have to go to their bodies no?" Niall asked me
"Yes but I don't want to go alone" I told him
"I'll come with you" he said and I looked at him
"Niall, you have a tour to do. I don't want you to cancel a few shows because of me. You need to perform" I told him
"I don't care. You need me in this type of situation and I'll be there for you. You're part of this family did you know that?" he asked me
"No. I didn't know that" I told him shyly and he chuckled
"Well, you are and this is a family emergency and you need me. I don't mind canceling a few shows. We can reschedule them you know that right?" he asked me and I nodded "Since we can reschedule I'm going to come with you and keep you company" he said and I smiled at him
"Thanks Niall" I told him
"No problem. You know I'm always there for you if you need anything right?" he asked me and I nodded "Good. Now why don't we cuddle a little bit and then we can buy plane tickets to Toronto after" he said and I chuckled
"Okay but what if I don't want to cuddle with you?" I asked him jokingly
I squealed when he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer to him when my head was on his chest.
"You're going to cuddle with me and stay in my arms until I say we have to get up okay" he said
I was about to say something but he put his hand on my face to shut me up. I giggled and licked his hand to make him pull away.
"Did you just lick my hand?" he asked me as he looked at me
"Yes I did" I told him
"Okay, you're not going to leave until I tell us too" he said as he laid on top with his head on my chest
At first it was so weird when he was laying on top of me but we have been doing this sometimes now and now I feel alright.
"Am I stuck now?" I asked him as he laid his head on my chest and he wrapped his arms around me
"Yes you are. You're not going anywhere" he said
I laughed but played with Niall's hair when he is on top of me. I know he is doing this to make me laugh and make me feel better. I sighed and played with his hair.
"How's your head?" I asked him
"It's fine. I didn't drink that much" he said
"Really?" I asked him
"Yeah but Lewis went overboard. You should've saw him yesterday. He was drinking so much last night" he said
"Oh god. I wonder how he is this morning" I told him
"Me too. He would be hangover today and I'm so glad we don't have a show tonight or else the show will go sideways" he said and I laughed
"Yes it will" I said and I looked at Niall to see he is falling asleep and I slapped his head to make him wake up
"What was that for?" Niall asked as he looked at me
"You were trying to fall asleep and you can't fall asleep" I told him
"And why can't I fall asleep?" he asked me
"If you fall asleep then I'll be lonely" I pouted at him and he chuckled
"Okay fine I won't sleep" he said and then muttered something 'stupid puppy dog eyes' and I giggled on what he said and we just talked until we went to get up
