Head First [Harry Styles/One Direction Fanfic]

Chapter Two~

A loud crash came to my ears and I winced, opening my eyes.  I quickly reached up to rub the sleep off my eyes as the noise continued.  I'm going to kill them. 

"SHE'S AWAKE!" Louis screeched, dropping the pans to the ground and bouncing up and down on my bed.  Groaning, I sat up and sent him the biggest death glare I could muster while I was still half asleep.  "Aaaand she's going to kill me!" He squeaked, before hopping off my bed and booking it out of my room.  If it was anyone else, I would have sprinted after them, but I gave Louis a pass. 

The memories from late last night flooded back to my head and I groaned again.  Shit.  I had basically poured out my heart to Liam when he had caught me crying.  That's really awkward.

A pang of guilt hit me.  I kept the guy up half the night spilling my life's problems to him.  Making a mental note to apologize, I grabbed a few random articles of clothing and stepped into the bathroom, closing the door behind me.  Maybe a long hot shower will help me feel better.  After all, I had been pretty grumpy yesterday.  Oops.

~Harry's POV~

Louis barreled back down the hallway, flailing obnoxiously and yelling something about Alex killing him once she finally woke up.  "I told you you shouldn't have done that."  Liam chuckled, taking another forkfull of his cereal.  How he could manage to eat cereal with a fork, I'll never know.

All of the boys were awake in the kitchen, but the girls were still sleeping.  God, they really know how to sleep.

"So, Liam, did you enjoy last night?" Zayn asked, with a slow smirk playing on his lips.

"What are you talking about?" 

Niall laughed, leaning on the counter. "We heard you and Alex talking half the night." My eyebrows furrowed, looking from Niall to Liam.  What had happened last night? Did Liam... no. 

Liam laughed warmly, waving at them.  "It's not what you think." Biting my lip, I nodded, maybe listening a bit too intently.  "She had a bad day yesterday, and needed someone to talk to.  I was there." A pang of jealousy shot through me.  I wish I had been there, instead.  

What? 

"Besides, I'm still trying to get back with Danielle.  I still love her, you know."

"Ruby sings in her sleep," Zayn said, looking far off. "She has a really nice voice." He bit his lip, looking off into the distance.  Niall laughed and said something about Poppy talking in her sleep.  Well, it looked like all the boys had a nice night last night except me.  Louis went straight to sleep, and I was stuck with my thoughts.

"I'm curious to hear their group." Louis said, nibbling on a carrot. We all nodded in agreement, and Ruby and Poppy came in looking like they had just rolled through hell. 

"Nice hair!" Niall commented, picking up a piece of Poppy's, which was all over the place.

We all started picking at their hair, and they slapped our hands away, sticking their heads in the fridge.  I guess they're quiet when they wake up.  

"Girls!" 

All seven of us snapped our attention towards the sound of Alex's melodic voice, as she traipsed into the room, the complete opposite of Poppy and Ruby.  She was wearing a tight white tank top, blue jeans, and her blonde hair came around her shoulders in big waves.  Someone's a morning person.

Poppy mumbled something, her mouth full of food, and Ruby looked at Alex expectantly.

She grinned happily, hopping onto the counter. "We have practice today!"
