-Two days later-
Alex's P.O V
He leaves tomorrow and it seems as if every fucking time I'm with him, Sammie pops up and says something provocative to Niall. Things that he hasn't even done with me yet. We just got into an argument over the phone because he tried texting me and it wasn't working, so I called him and Sammie knew it was me on the phone. It's like she wants me to hit her. What's mine is mine and I don't share. Niall is mine.
I yelled at Niall about how annoyed I'm getting with this trip shit and I wish it was over already. Last year, God knows how many times they've hooked up. I asked him if it was more than ten and he didn't say anything. I'm sleeping alone tonight because I told Niall that I didn't want him over here. He's probably busy packing up anyway, so it won't make a difference to either one of us.
I don't care.
I talk to Nikki about it, but she tells me that she doesn't think he'll do anything with her.
"I'll be there, so if anything happens I'll tell you." She winks and folds her clothes into her suitcase. It makes me feel a little better knowing that she's going.
I wish I was in a fraternity, not just to go on trips, but because they're always doing cool stuff within the groups and I never get to go.
"I don't want him to go. I don't know, I just feel like something is going to happen in their hotel room..it has one bed for fuck sakes!" I rant.
"He's going to get kicked out of the fraternity and it could get him kicked out of school, Alex."
"Wait out of school? Like off campus? Like not being able to go here anym-"
"Yes, Alex!" Nikki laughs at me for just now figuring out what the consequence is. I heard Niall say it, but I thought he was just saying that to make me less sad about him going.
I watch her grab her suitcase and sit it by the door, so she won't forget it. She puts on a movie, Beastly, is the name of the movie and it's one of my favorites, but I didn't even get to finish it because I fell asleep. His trip is going to be miserable all because of me being rude to him right before he's going on a trip that he's supposed to have fun on. I don't want to depart on a bad foot with him, but I don't want to admit that I was being rude for no reason. The thing I'm paranoid about the most is, is the one bed situation. I'm not too happy about that. In fact, that is the number one thing that irritates me about this stupid trip.
"Alex, I'm leaving." Someone hits my arm and I groan and throw the sheets over my head to block out the bright lightbulb on the ceiling fan.
"Okay, bye sleepy head." I hear the light switch click and I pop up.
"Hey! Wait, wait, wait!" I rip the comforter off and rush out of the bed, flying around the corner and bumping into Nikki.
"Where are you going?"
"To the airport, duh." She laughs and hugs me. "Alright, see you Tuesday morning!"
"I want to come! Wait, don't leave yet." I turn around in my slippers, almost slipping.
"I knew you were going to want to come," She grins.
"Hurry up, I've been trying to wake you up." I hear her rushing me while I brush my teeth and wash my face.
I hate being rushed. But it's not like I'm going to tell her to stop rushing me because I know it'll come out in a rude tone, then she'll leave my ass here.
All I see is a cinnamon toast in the refrigerator, so I take three and follow Nikki down to her car. I didn't have enough to do anything. I'm eating toast and putting concealer on my dark spots whilst my plaid pajama pants are getting crumbs on them. My crop top is an old shirt that I bought, but I just wear it to bed because I got paint on it. So, I look very..interesting right now.
"Your slippers are on the wrong foot." Nikki points out after I finish putting concealer on. I don't care if I didn't do my hair, I grab a ponytail holder and put it in a bun, it's extremely messy because my hair isn't brushed and I look like a troll with this blue hair. I switch the fuzzy shoes and get out of the car, eating my toast as we walk inside of the airport.
"They should coming, if they aren't here already." Nikki says looking around.
"Nikki! Go through security already. Oh, hey Alex!" Harry says and I wave with my toast in my hand.
My glasses aren't helping me spot out Niall and the looks I'm receiving from strangers make me uncomfortable, so I put my arm over my stomach to make them move their eyes elsewhere other than my showing stomach.
"Flight 139! Flight 139, begin to board." Nikki gives me a hug and walks to the plane.
"Nice outfit..where's your lovebug?" Sammie chuckles and I point to the bathroom just so she'll believe me and she crosses her arms and bends a leg. Why the hell is she standing here.
"Guess, I'll wait with you." She grins, knowing that I'm lying.
"No need." I bite my toast and she rolls her eyes.
"I guess you were right about lover boy being in the restroom..whatever." I look at her confused and turn around and see Niall look away from me, walking towards the plane. I did this.
"Niall!" I say with toast in my mouth. He's still walking. "Niall!" I swipe my slippers across the dirty tile, running to him while he ignores me. I snatch his free hand, spinning him around a little to fast and bumping into him.
"Yes?" I says dull, looking down at me.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Can we be nice to each other again? I don't want you to leave like this and I feel bad. I shouldn't have yelled at you." I bite my toast, and chew it quickly, so I can talk again.
"Flight 139!" As soon as I hear that I swallow my toast not realizing it wasn't fully chewed, so as I was about to apologize I start choking instead. I look for the nearest water fountain and run to it, drinking it doesn't make it any better. It's warm and tastes like dirty water. It feels stuck in my throat, so I run into the women's restroom and try to make myself throw up because it feels like my airways are closing up. I stick my finger in my mouth, releasing bile into the toilet and now I can finally breath.
"Flight 139!" Shit.
I rinse my mouth out with water and run out to see if Niall is still there, I'm surprised whenever he's standing there by the little rope to board the plane, waiting. I run over to him and he holds out a stick of minty gum, my cheeks turn deep pink from feeling embarrassed. My jaws hurt from me chomping down on the gum so quickly, the two flight attendants stand on either side of the entrance door watching us intently.
"Flight 139! Last call! Last call for Flight 139!" I widen my eyes then look up at Niall, who was already watching me.
"Bye, Al-" I refuse to let him leave in this mood..and calling me Alex. I like it whenever he calls me Bunny more than anything. Before he finishes whatever he was about to say, I cut him off by standing on my tip toes and fist the front of his shirt, bringing him down to me. I can feel him smiling while I kiss him just like I did in the parking lot the other day. His arms go around my waist, lifting me off of the ground a bit, making it easier for him to kiss me. The flight attendants giggle whenever Niall put me down and I wouldn't let go of his neck, my head is over his shoulder, making him bend down to my height since I'm not letting go.
"Alex, I have to go." He laughs and pats my butt.
"I.love.you." He says pecking kisses between words.
"I love you too, have fun..but not too much fun." I raise an eyebrow and he laughs.
"I know. See you Tuesday, Bunny!" He kisses my forehead and grabs my butt, making me squeal.
"Okay." I wave as he disappears walking in the plane.
I have three days to myself. Literally myself. Anna is sleeping over at Spencers, so the apartment is empty. There's no way I'm calling Niall, he's in Paris and they may charge extra to my phone bill.
"You two are too cute." The woman who is sitting down says to me as I turn around to drive Nikki's car back home.
"Thanks." I quietly say, smiling. People are staring at me probably because of the way I'm dressed, but I ignore it and walk faster to the car. I hate when a crowd of people watch me at once. I think of things I can do now that I have the whole weekend to myself, so the first thing I think of is shopping. Maybe I can do that. I've been saving up my paychecks, so why not?
I go home and get dressed properly into a plain white loose dress. I put my rings and jewelry on, but the necklace Andy bought for me stays around my neck along with Niall's. Sometimes they get tangled within each other, but I don't want to take either one off. I strap my brown wedges on and grab my purse.
In the mall, I decide to buy new glasses because I needed them badly, these make my eyes look bigger whenever I wear them and I remember Niall calling me a dork whenever I first met him for my glasses. These glasses are more rectangular, sleek, and they're Raybans which made me want them even more. I love these.
Next door to the glasses store is a pampering shop, named the Girls Day Out, so I go inside and a lady tells me that I need a make over as soon as I walk in. Well, thanks..
"Oh, um. What made you say that?" She didn't even welcome me into the store that was the first thing she said to me and I don't know whether to be offended or not.
"Go sit over there." She points me to a chair and I go buy a pack of Skittles in the vending machine a few feet away from the chair.
"Honey, do you know how pretty you could be?" She takes the rubber band out of my hair and says "Oh my goodness! This is a birds nest!"
Okay, now I'm offended.
"Can we give you a makeover, honey? It's only eighty dollars and we'll make you look much better!" She says facing the spinning salon chair to the mirror to show myself how I look.
"Um, I-I guess so..what are you going to do? Is it going to hurt?" I face her and she shrugs, smiling widely.
"It hurts to be pretty sometimes, it'll be worth it. You're in good hands, my name is Linda. Ms. Linda will make you so pretty!" Her Puerto Rican accent makes it more interesting to talk to her, but it's a little difficult to understand some of her words.
"Okay! Sit there and chew your candies," She says and brushes my hair, then takes me over to a seat to wash my hair, this feels amazing. I'm taken back over to the chair to have my hair blow dried.
"Honey, can I please dye your hair a different color?" She begs as if she hates my blue hair, I hate it too, but she's really blunt about it in a happy way.
"A purple violet color would look good on you and a nice hair cut," (A/N: Google the color it's pretty haha)
"Don't cut it too short!" I blurt and she says she won't.
As I'm getting my hair dyed another woman comes over with hot wax.
"What are you doing!?" I take my leg out of her hold.
"Look at your hairy legs! Waxing lasts much longer than shaving and they'll feel better. Your boyfriend doesn't like hairy legs, wait do you have one?" She explains and I watch her stir the wax.
"Um, I don't think he pays much attention."
"All guys pay attention to your legs, honey! Especially your boyfriend, like whenever you're having sex or something! Wait- are you a virgin? You look like you would be," She says doing my hair.
"I'm not answering that. You can wax them."
"She's not a virgin," The two ladies laugh and I chuckle along with them out of embarrassment.
I flinch every time the paper is ripped off of my leg, she then waxes my eyebrows which make my eyes water and then polishes my toes as I get the dye rinsed out of my hair. My toes are a sparkly red color and my manicure is French tips. I've never been "pampered" like this before. Letting my hair air dry, I go back into the other room because I've been convinced to get a bikini wax, then I got a massage and went to go sit back in the salon chair. My hair is straightened, cut, and dyed perfectly. Its trimmed an inch above my belly button.
"Wow I love this, I look-"
"Beautiful." Ms. Linda says, smiling.
"Thank you." My eyes begin to water a bit because of how different I look. I do look pretty for once and I genuinely feel pretty as well, I just want to know what Niall thinks of it whenever he comes back.
"Have fun with your boyfriend, honey!" She tells me after I pay. I go back next door to purchase contacts just in case I don't want to wear my glasses all of the time.
Now that I'm home there isn't much to do. I watch television and decide to bake cupcakes like they did on TV. I made twenty four, so whenever Nikki, Harry, and Niall come back it'll be a surprise. I put too much salt and they taste funny now, I leave them in the refrigerator until I feel like going to take out the trash.

Niall's P.O.V
I take a pillow and the comforter off of the bed and lock myself in the bathroom.
"It's cold! I need the comforter, take the sheets instead!" Sammie says knocking on the door and I ignore her. There's no way I'm sleeping near her I leave bathroom light on and fall asleep.
The next morning, we all go out to breakfast, then rent a car and drive around town to tour Paris.
"Let's go to that museum over there!" She points and I tell her no.
"But we're all going to a party tonight! I don't really want to go, so let's go to the museum." I zoom into the parking lot and step on the brakes once we're here and she squints her eyes at me.
"There's nothing even in here!" I complain and walk around.
"You're being a stick in the mud, come on." She grabs my wrist, dragging me over to pictures and I decide not to yell at her in front of all of these people about touching me.
"I don't understand any of these paintings. It's just splatters." I chuckle.
"But it's still pretty!" She defends, laughing.
"Sure, I guess so." I shrug and tell her I'm leaving. We've been in this place for an hour and a half.
Whenever I drive to go meet up with Harry and Nikki at the Eiffel tower to take pictures, Sammie's hand moves from my thigh to my crotch quickly and I smack her hand away so hard that she popped her knuckles against the console.
"Get the fuck off of me!" I move her arms away from me whenever she takes her seatbelt off and reaches her fist to palm my jeans.
"Don't touch me." I grit my teeth.
I get out of the car immediately whenever I spot Nikki and Harry, I walk off before she gets out of the car.
"She's driving me cr-"
"Baby, why did you leave me?" Sammie clings onto my arm and yank my arm away from her.
"Stop calling me that! I'm not your baby!" I shout and run away from her as she starts chasing me. I run directly past Harry, knowing that he'd catch her.
"You know he's dating Alex! Stop starting stuff. Just behave, you're spoiling the trip for us all." Harry scolds her while holding her by her waist, it's like she's moving her feet towards my direction, but she's restricted.
"What the fuck is your problem?! I said I have a girlfriend! You and I were never dating! There were no feelings involved whenever we hooked up last year. I don't like you! So, stop thinking I do! We aren't friends, get that through your head! I'm not interested in you at all. You don't have to respect my relationship, but you sure as hell need to stay out of it. You can't even get you own relationship because you're too worried about mine! Get a fucking life you slutty whore." I shout at her and her eyes begin to water.
"Please let go of me..please. I'm fine now." She says quietly, now standing still.
Harry removes his arms and she walks the opposite way sniffling, then I hear her cry a little as she continues to walk away.
"She kept trying to feel me up in the car." I say and Nikki shakes her head.
"Mate, I understand how much you don't like Sammie, but you went kind of far.. cursing and screaming in her face and calling her a slutty whore was kind of messed up. Even if you really dislike her like that, don't do that. Especially to a girl." Harry says, pointing to Sammie who is sitting in the grass far away from us, with her palms in her eyes.
"Yeah, I can hear her crying." Harry shakes his head.
"Shit," I mumble in annoyance and make my way over to her. I sit down in front of her and move her hands from her eyes, her face is bloodshot red.
"I'm sorry..for everything. I shouldn't have done anything, but why did y-you do that to m-me?" She puts her head back in her hands, sobbing. I've never seen her cry..or show any emotion in general, so I'm kind of shocked.
"You embarrassed me!" She says hiccuping on her words. I can't calm her down like Alex because.. well, she isn't Alex.
"No one wants to date me! Th-thats why guys just want to hook up with me and th-that's it. That's embarrassing! A-and then you called me a slutty whore," She shakes her head, crying even harder, then stands up and tries to walk away.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry I did that to you back there. I shouldn't have called you that name.. and you'll find someone. Sorry for cursing at you." I step in front of her and apologize.
"You sound just like my mom! She's the only person that tells me that she hates me and yells at me like that. You don't have t-to like me, but at least be nice to me."
"I don't hate you." I hug her as she covers her face still.
"It's fine. I'll just see when the next flight is. I don't have another partner and no one wants to be mine. Enjoy your trip," She smiles and wipes her face.
"No, stay here. I'll be your partner, just know your boundaries.." I warn her and she nods, then moving back.
At the Eiffel tower we take photos by it, Harry put his hand underneath the tower to make it look like he's holding it, but he did it wrong and we all ended up laughing once we got to a restaurant and viewed his picture. Everyone else's picture came out properly.
"It's okay, baby. Maybe next time." Nikki laughs and playfully pinches his cheeks.
