NO. JUST NO.

CHAPTER 6

Liam's POV:

"Hey, Niall. Who are you texting?" I asked him as he went to the bed beside me.

I was the first to use the shower. Harry's stalking Alli's twitter. Zayn is checking out her Facebook account. And Louis, he's writing something on a piece of paper that the hotel provided.

"No one." Why is he blushing?

"Let me see!" Now we caught the attention of the others.

"Who are you texting Niall?" Zayn crossed his arms. I think we all know who he's texting. We just need the confirmation.

Harry grabbed Niall's phone away from him and looked through the screen. His eyes back and forth as if he is reading something.

"How did you get her number?" He asked Niall.

"I have my ways." This blonde lad better explain or else..

"And I'm saving this on MY phone too."

"Wait Harry!" Niall tried to grab his phone from Harry's grasp.

"Oops! Too late."

"Guys if that is Alli's number, can't we all just have it. I think we all want her to be our friend so why don't you just give it to us." I know what you mean by 'friend' Zayn.

"Fine" We all added Alli to our contacts.

"Wait– don't text her!" Niall said.

"And why is that?" Louis, we really don't need your sass right now.

"I'm planning on something. Something great." Niall smiled.

Jake's POV:

"And I was really stupid because I left it at the oven– Alli. Hey? Are you listening?" I asked her.

This surprise was made at the very last minute. I felt really bad for not making it to Alli's birthday.

I know that Karla, Macy, and Tyler are our 'friends'. But they're never there for her. And I think she knows that they are not so genuine as we hoped they would be.

"Yeah, sorry. What were you saying?"

"Nevermind, so who were you texting?"

"Uhm, my sister."

I was about to ask her what Layla said but our waiter went in and placed down our food.

"Carbonara? You really know my favorite." Alli blushed.

"What makes you think I'll forget?" I smiled.

I really like Alli since we were kids. But as we grew older, the butterflies in my stomach seemed to grow too.

Today I saw One Direction in her hotel room. I don't want to be mean but why did she let them stay with her. So many things could have happened.

I honestly think I'm in love with her. She's always there checking up on me. When we were kids, Alli's the queen and I'm the king of Quinn Island.

I want to protect her until we're old. I want those pretend weddings to turn into reality. I want her.

"Jake?" She called.

"Yeah?"

"Thank you, for everything"

"I'd give you everything if I could"
