3 weeks later

Life with Niall was pretty much business as usual for the past couple of weeks, and only recently had we had any kind of development. Harry had called us saying that Tamsin was out of hospital and wanted us all to meet up again.

I was sitting in the living room with Jack on my lap, who purred affectionately as I stroked his head. Niall was on the phone to management about their next tour, so I assumed the position on the sofa in with the cat and my phone, scrolling through twitter whilst I waited. Jack meowed softly and climbed up to my face licking my chin to get my attention.

"What is it?" I laughed, lifting him up and chuckling as he reached out to try and reach me.

"Right, I'm ready." Niall said, walking in whilst putting his jacket on.

He laughed at the scene in front of him, lifting the kitten off of me and cradling him in his arms so that Jack's head was on his shoulder. He looked down at him lovingly, laughing as Jack rubbed his nose against his jaw line.

"Aw mummy and daddy need to go now." Niall cooed, putting him carefully into the little bed we had in the corner of the room, "See you later buddy."

"Come on, I'm driving." I said, swiping my keys off of the table and marching out the front door.

"What if I want to drive?" Niall playfully challenged.

"What if I have the better car and therefore am driving?" I grinned, getting in the driver's seat.

He laughed, shaking his head and got in as well. He immediately turned on the radio as we backed out onto the main road and began the drive towards Harry and Tamsin's place. He put on capital, and Wreaking Ball came on, making him burst into wailing song.

"Dear god no!" I laughed, turning the channel over.

"Bethy!" He whined,

"Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole." I said, but Niall stopped complaining once we heard their new single, 'Night Changes', begin playing.

"WE'RE ONLY GETTING OLDER, BABY!!" Niall shouted, opening his window and turning the volume up, "AND I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT YOU LATELY!"

"DOES IT EVER DRIVE YOU CRAZY, JUST HOW FAST THE NIGHT CHANGES!" I joined in, laughing as Niall pointed out that some man in the car across from us was glaring at us.

"I have an idea." Niall said, getting his phone out and pressing a few buttons on the screen on the dashboard of the car. Suddenly, 'One Thing' came through the speakers and I grinned evilly.

"What are you up to, Grey?" He eyed me suspiciously, before watching the road again.

I was silent until it came to Harry's part,

"Shot my right in the eye,"

He looked confused,

"You're my slut tonight,"

Even more confused,

"You keep making me we-eak,"

Slightly worried,

"Suck it, and don't speak."

"BETH!" He laughed hysterically, holding his stomach from how hard he was laughing, "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!"

"Just a little something me and Tamsin made up." I laughed, "Like MullinGAH."

"What?" He asked, wiping tears from his eyes from laughing so hard.

"I'll explain when you're older." I chuckled, pulling over to the side of the road outside of their house, catching sight of Zayn's car not too far ahead of us.

Harry opened the door as we got out, waving at as and calling for Tamsin to announce our arrival. She quickly came rushing to the door, her arm still bearing a bright blue cast with a few signatures on it.

"Beth!" She squealed happily, pushing past Harry and running down the driveway in bare feet towards us.

"Tamsin!" I greeted back, being slightly knocked back by the force of the hug I found myself in.

"Running across gravel with no shoes on wasn't clever." She laughed, carefully limping back across half the drive before Harry picked her up and took her to the house.

We came into the living room and saw the others were already here. Josie smiled and waved as we walking in, and Louis and Zayn waved. Liam was on his phone, but quickly looked up at the sound of Niall's voice as the greeted the others.

"Oh my god, how did I forget?!" Tamsin suddenly said, smiling widely as she ran out the room.

We all looked at each other, confused as to what we were supposed to do. She came back suddenly, peaking her head around the door.

"Follow me!"

We all got up, murmuring certain questions of confusion to each other as we filed out and followed her into the garden. Tamsin whispered something to Harry, who nodded and jogged around the side of the house.

"Harry got me a present for when I got out of hospital, and-"

Before she could finish, Harry came around the side of the house, leading a small, fluffy white pony, the size of a large dog. It trotted around next to him, trying to keep up with his large stride.

"Oh my god, Harry!" I said in surprise, "This is what you get her when she breaks an arm? I can't wait to see what happens if she sprains her ankle."

Niall laughed, but he couldn't stop staring at the horse, running over and crouching down to pet its head. He looked as if he was completely in love with this horse, and kept stroking it over and over again.

"He's called Benjie." Harry beamed, patting his next affectionately.

"Oh my god, he's so cute!" Louis gushed, "I bet him and PJ would make great friends."

"I suppose so, anyway, we have a restaurant to get to." Harry said, taking the horse back around.

"Which?" I asked,

"Funky Buddha!" Tamsin chuckled, "Of course Liam suggested it."

"We can go see a film afterwards if you want?" Niall suggested to me quietly,

"Like what?"

"Fifty shades?" He suggested cheekily, making me gasp and slap him on the arm.

The night had just begun.
