~EMILY'S POV~

*Text message to Eleanor:

- Eleanor! Call Dani and Perrie and tell them that we're going skiing and snowboarding! See you soon :) xx- Em

*Text message from Eleanor:

- Skiing? Snowboarding? Sounds good! I'll grab Dani on the way with some Starbucks! Perrie said she'll meet us there a little bit later! :D xoxo- El

*Text message to Eleanor:

-All righty! Dress warmly! xx- Em

"Emily! You done in there yet?"

"Huh? Yeah! Be out in a second!"

I smiled down at my phone while locking it at the thought of seeing my girlfriends. Being in a house full of boys can sometimes be tiring. I needed some girl time with Eleanor, Danielle, and Perrie. I dug through the piles of clothes that laid in the closet and finally found my ski clothes. It laid crumpled and I picked it up. I started getting dressed, layers and layers of clothing to keep me warm in the snow. I put on my Ugg boots that I got for last Christmas and fixed my hair. Beanie. Where's my beanie. Beanie. I started digging through the covers on my bed and finally found it.

"Well you look somehow decent."

"What do you mean decent? You look amazing- like always."

There was a sudden knock on the door that made me jump. I instantly dropped my beanie on the floor and turned my head around. It was Josh leaning by the doorway. He had his arms crossed and was scratching the back of his head.

"Hey Josh! How long were you standing there?"

"Don't worry- I didn't see you naked or anything."

"Oh... Okay.. You could come in if you'd like.."

Josh strolled inside my room and looked around for a couple of seconds. I picked up the beanie that laid crumpled on the floor and readjusted it on my head. Josh was now sitting on my bed just watching me do my hair. The whole room was silent besides the sound of our breathing. I saw the reflection of him while I looked at myself in the mirror and he was just staring at me. I was about to put on my lip gloss when suddenly my phone rang. Josh gave me a heads up and threw it to me- barely catching it without it slipping through my fingers. I know- Harry always made fun of me for it for being bad at catching when my boyfriend was the quarterback of the school football team. I unlocked my phone to see a text message.

*Text message from Sean:

- Hey Em, it's Sean. Look. Last time I really wanted to talk to you but that guy. All I wanna do is just see you. I was wondering if I could just talk to you for a minute.

*Text message to Sean:

- What more is there to talk about? Besides, I'm going up the mountains today to ski. How'd you even get this number?

*Text message from Sean:

- I could meet you up there. Please. All I need is a minute. And your mom told me.

I didn't even bother to reply back. My mom. Oh my goodness gracious. She never found out why I came back home crying or the reason I stopped going over to Savannah's. She never found out about the party incident and I planned to keep it that way. I must've stood there staring at my phone for a while because Josh shook me a little bit on my arms. My phone clattered onto the floor and I finally realized that he was calling out my name. Josh bent down to pick up my phone and I coughed a little bit.
