In this Moment

Chapter Five

"Stop and stare, I think I'm moving but I go nowhere. Yeah I know that everyone gets scared, But I've become what I can't be,"

I woke up to the sound of my alarm, I quickly located my phone that was on my dresser next to my bed and turned it off. And then I realized something. How did I get in my bed?

I got up and I was still in the same clothes from yesterday. I took a quick shower and threw on yoga pants and a sweat jacket. I grabbed my phone and shoved it my jacket pocket and then opened the door of the room and walked down the stairs, and gracefully missed the last step and did a face plant to the wooden floor.

I laid there for awhile until a pair of fuzzy pink socks stood in front of my face. I stood up to see Cher and her bright smile looking at me like I had just done the most amazing thing in the world and I didn't tell her.

"I have three things to say to you. One: you were absolutely amazing, two: I'm sorry about the song, and three: what happened with you and Niall?" Cher said numbering her list with her fingers as she went.

I sighed and walked into the kitchen. "Well I have four things to say to you. One: thanks, two: its fine, three: nothing, and four: how the hell did I end up in my bed?" I numbered while pouring some juice.

"Oh, that's were I wondering what happened with Niall. After you ran off stage I tried to go after you but Niall said he wanted to talk to you alone, and then he went running after you. I didn't see you again until I found you in the guest room with Niall. That's why I thought something happened. Anyway everyone was heading home and you were knocked out. So Niall insited he take you home. He carried you to his car drove here and then carried you up to your bed. That was it." when she was done explaining she had a confused expression on her face.

"So what did happen when he finally caught up to you?" Cher asked being nosey. But I really didn't mind.

"Well at first he wanted me to tell him why I was crying, but I didn't really want to waste his time. That's when I went to change and when I came back he dragged me to the room and I told him about Jake, the wedding, K.I.A., everything." I said as I remember back to last night. The last thing I remember was Niall holding me as I was crying. He was so sweet. He was there for me, he comforted me, he made me feel safe.

"Wow." was all Cher said, at first. "So what now?"

"I don't know." I responded. And as if on cue my phone buzzed.

Niallerxx:)

'Hey Rach, do you want to get so coffee later?'

At first I was confused but then I realized he must have put his number in while I was asleep.

'Yeah sounds great! When and where?'

'Does 12:30 at Starbucks sound good?'

'Perfect! See ya there :)'

'See ya ;)'

I don't know why but see that winky face just gave my stomach butterflies and made my heart flutter. I couldn't wait to see him, it was about noon now so I  had a good fifteen minutes before I had to leave. I jogged up stairs and put on some light make-up and straighten my bangs and let my hair go wavy. I was too lazy to change so I just slipped on my black vans, and grabbed my car keys of the dresser and a piece of gum. I carefully walked down the stairs to see Cher eat toast in the living room and making faces at the tele.

"Cher what are you doing now?" I asked walking over to the couch so that I could see the tele.

"They just said that Ashely wasn't Top model material and that she is no longer in the running to become American's Next Top Model. I'M DONE!" Cher said obviously upset.
