Chapter Twenty-Five

I was alone in the room now (Zayn had let to go watch t.v.). I typed in her number and pressed call. It was ringing.

"Hello?" asked a firmiliar voice.

"Hi. Is this Vivian?" I asked.

"Yeah... Brooke?"

"Yep!" I said. She laughed.

"What's up?"

"Oh, Harry said thanks for the soup."

"I know!" she said. There was an awkward silence.

"... How?"

"OH! He posted it on twitter." she said.

"Ohhh..."

She laughed.

"Yeah..."

"Well, that was all I had to say-"

"Hey, Brooke?"

"Yeah...?" I asked.

 "Are you, umm... going with them to New York?"

"Yeah... why?"

"Oh, just wondering!" she said.

"Okay."

"Well, um... I gotta go..."

"Alright, bye Vivian!"

"Saving the number!" she shouted at me. I laughed and hung up.

I got up and walked back into the livingroom, giving the phone back to Zayn, then sitting next to him. They (Nail,Louis, and Zayn) were watchng America's funniest home videos, Niall laughing so hard his face turned red, the boys laughing simply because of him. I laughed myself.

After AFV was over, the boys had gone off to do... what ever they were doing. It was just me and Zayn.

"... and then the little kid was all like 'what?'" I said, referring to a video we had just watched. We both cracked up. Once we hd stopped laughing ridiculously loud, I scooted over closer to him, putting my arms around him.

"Your fans are... crazy." I said, breaking the silence.

"Yeah, I know." he said laughing.

"I'll bet you they know more about you guys than you do." I said.

"You have no idea." he said, shaking his head but smiling. We looked at eachother and started laughing again.

"Guys, keep it down." Liam said as he walked in.

"Alright." I said. He sat down.

"Harry seems to be getting better, but I think we should wait atleast another day."

I nodded.

"Hey, where's Louis?" I asked. They looked around.

"I don't know..." Liam said. He took his phone out and started texting. We sat there for about a minute before it buzzed.

"He says he's... getting pizza."

I laughed.

"Cool, I'm hungry anyways." I said.

Finally, Louis came back with the pizza. Niall walked in at the exact same time.

"Hey, so- PIZZA!"

I laughed, though I was just as excited... I take that back, nobody is as excited as Niall when he sees food.

We all grabbed a slice (except Harry, of coarse, who was sleeping in his room) and ate while we watched t.v. It was strange to think that only a few months ago, I would have been doing the same thing at home, only with my family. I would be sitting next to a boy I loved, only it would be Xavier. I would have called a friend, only it would have been Jade. My life would be the same, but different. Does that make any sense?

"Brooke...?" Zayn asked. I had been staring off into space, lost in my thoughts.

"Huh?"

"Brooke, it's getting late." It was. It was already dark outside.

"Oh... alright." I walked back into his room to find something to wear to bed. Sweats and and oversized t-shirt.

It was comfy. I walked back into the bathroom to brush my teeth. The minty taste of the toothpaste was refreshing. Once I was done, I rinsed the toothbrush off and set it down. Finally, I walked back into Zayn's room and laid down on the bed. Zayn was already asleep. I turned over onto my back and stared at the ceiling.

Seconds passed by. Minutes. An hour. I couldn't sleep. I got up and went into the kitchen for a glass of water.

"Still awake?" asked a voice from behind me as I drank some of my water. I almost choked on it because I was so surprised. I turned around to see Harry standing in the doorway.

"Couldn't sleep." I explained.

"Me either." he said. There was an awkward silence.

"Feeling any better?" I asked.

"Yeah, I guess." he said. There was another awkward silence.

"Well, I'm going to go back to bed." I said.

"Alright, see ya later."

"Bye."

I walked back into Zayn's room and laid down on the bed. I closed my eyes and tried my best to get some sleep.
