Missy POV

*1 week after Harry left*

I'm tired of the worrying about Niall and Harry. After Niall left, Harry said something about hearing us. He apologized for not waking up to help. I reassured him as he got up and so I could help his cuts.

He left three days later, his cuts looking in decent condition. He thanked me and we exchanged smiles before he left my stressed filled home.

I ended up crashing on the couch for two straight days, not checking my phone, e-mail, tv. I felt so at peace when I slept.

On the rare occasion I would have a dream replaying the whole scene with Harry and Niall. It scared me. Horribly. I didn't have anybody to talk to.

I wish I could just take a break off of everything. But today, maybe I could.

I was dressed in sweatpants and felt very comfortable as I walked around my Harry and Niall free home. I grabbed my phone, bowl of cereal and remote to sit on my couch.

I unlocked my phone and typed in Zayn's name to start a new message.

To: Zayn

"Hey Malik, wanna hang tonight?"

I struggled not to drop my cereal while texting and ended up adding a few letters to my text, making the one i sent look like this.

To: Zayn

"Hey Malik, wanna hanger tonightein?!"

I face palmed myself starting to blush, thinking of what he was thinking. He probably thinks I can't read a keyboard right or that i'm mental with phones. I embarrass myself too much.

I turned the tv on and flipped to Ghost Adventures. One of my best friends recommended watching it. So

I thought I would try to.

Shaking, I hugged my popcorn to my face, covering my eyes.

DING!!!!

"AAHHH!!!" I screamed as my popcorn flew EVERYWHERE.

"DAMN!" I said, leaning over my couch to clean up my mess.

I looked over at my phone to see a new message from Zayn.

From: Zayn

"I'm sorry Missy, I can't. Perrie's concert is tonight.:/"

My face fell into a frown. I scribbled something down.

To: Zayn

"It's fine:) Talk to you later. Have fun!"

I throw my popcorn on the sidetable and skip to my room. If nobody wants to hang out then i'll make my own fun.

I slipped on skinny jeans, red converse and tank top while i straightened my brown hair. I was still wearing yesterday's makeup choices so i drew over it.

I grabbed my phone and my car keys on a landyard, along with my housekey, making sure to lock my door. Sunglasses in hair, i walked to my red Mustang. It was an older car from 2001 but it was red so I was happy.

I pulled out of my driveway and made my way down the road. Walmart was only 2 minutes from my house.

When i walked through the door I headed for the back. Chips of all sorts caught my eyes: Pickle, pretzel, cheese curls. I picked up 7 bags but dropped them all. Running to the front of the store, i grabbed a cart and rushed to the back again. I picked up the chips and put them in.
