*Tristen's POV*

I woke up with a minor headache. What time is it? I slowly sat up and looked around on the floor for my phone. After countless minutes of searching for it, I failed. 

"Well look who's awake." Luke laughed. "Sleep well?" 

"Yea." I said as I stood up. "Where's my phone?"y 

"I have no idea, but it's 11:14. Also, Papa Si left with Mama Chris." 

"Oh okay. So who's making breakfast?" I asked. 

"The curly headed kid. I think his name is Harry." He thought, looking up at the ceiling for a bit. 

"Cool." I said as I looked around the room. 

Luke left to the dining room as I noticed Ryan still on the couch sleeping. 

"I guess I should wake you up." I muttered to myself. 

I walked over to the couch she was sleeping on. I got down on my knees (not like that) and made it to where I was leveled to her face. 

"Ryan." I poked her cheek. "Wake up gorgeous." I shook her shoulder lightly. 

"Mhmm." She stirred in her sleep. 

"Come on. Curly's making us breakfast." I shook her shoulder again. 

She just turned around so her back was facing me. I lightly pinched her sides and she squealed. She sat up and looked at me with wide eyes. 

"W-what are you doing?" She stuttered. 

"I was trying to wake you up." I smiled 

"Oh okay." She rubbed her eyes. 

I stood up and offered her a hand. She ignored it and stood up by herself. I followed her out of the game room and into the dining room. 

"What took you guys so long, eh?" Jake wriggled his eyebrows as we sat down. 

"Shut up man." I said as I looked over at Ryan. 

She was blushing. Like, full on pink cheeks. Out of all the time I've known her, she has never blushed. 

"Are you actually blushing?" Luke pointed to Ryan's face. 

"No." She hid her face with her hair. 

"Yes you are! Does someone have a wittle crush on Twisten?" Jake asked in a baby voice while he pinched her cheek. 

She lifted her head and slapped his hand away. 

"Don't touch me." She glared at him. 

"Aaannndd Ryan's back to normal." Aaron laughed. 

"What a show." Harry muttered. 

"Got that right curly." I laughed.

*Louis's POV*

After breakfast, Aaron, Tristen, Luke, and Jake went home. Ryan walked off into some other room while me and the boys were watching tv in the family room. 

"What time is it?" Zayn asked. 

"12:21." Liam answered. 

"When's Uncle Si and Christina coming back?" Niall asked while eating a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos. 

Just as I was about to answer, the phone starting ringing. 

"Got it!" We heard Ryan yell. 

The boys and I sat there waiting for Ryan to tell us some news. Five minutes later, she walked into the family room with a giant smile on her face. 

"Why so happy?" Liam raised his eyebrow at her. 

"Mom and Dad got called on an emergency business trip. They're gone for 3 months!" She jumped up and down. 

Harry, being the cheeky boy he is, had his eyes following her chest. Liam notice and hit him on the back of the head. 

"Oowww!" Harry whined. 

"Well anyways, I'm going clubbing tonight with the boys." Ryan said as she turned around to walk off. 

"Wait." Liam called to her. 

She stopped in her tracks and turned to face him. 

"Yea?" She asked. 

"What about us?" He asked. 

"Do whatever you want." She said, slightly annoyed. 

"Can't we go with you?" Niall asked her with his most innocent face. 

"Aaww of course Nialler." She smiled at him. "You can help me pick an outfit later." 

"Can I help too?" Harry jumped up. 

"Let me think..no." She turned and walked off. 

Harry sat back down and slouched in the couch. 

"I think she likes me." Niall gushed. 

"Yea whatever." Harry murmured. 

"Okay...so I'm gonna use the loo." I stood up and walked out of the room. 

I was looking for the restroom on the first floor but I ended up getting lost. I was walking past a door when I heard the voice of an angel. I stopped and looked through the partially open door. That's when I saw her. 

*"Do you dream that the world will know your name? 

So tell me your name 

Do you care about all the little things 

or anything at all? 

I wanna feel, all the chemicals inside 

I wanna feel 

I wanna sunburn, just to know that I'm alive 

To know I'm alive"* 

By now the boys are beside me, listening to her sing. 

*"Don't tell me if I'm dying 

'Cause I don't wanna know 

If I can't see the sun, maybe I should go 

Don't wake me 'cause I'm dreaming 

Of angels on the moon 

Where everyone you know 

Never leaves too soon 

Do you believe, in the day that you were born 

Tell me do you believe? 

Do you know, that every day's the first 

Of the rest of your life? 

Don't tell me if I'm dying 

'Cause I don't wanna know 

If I can't see the sun 

Maybe I should go 

Don't wake me 'cause I'm dreaming 

Of angels on the moon 

Where everyone you know 

Never leaves too soon."* 

The singing suddenly stopped and we saw Ryan stand up. She swiftly opened the door and looked at us. 

"You guys really shouldn't listen to that." She crossed her arms. 

"But you're incredible." Liam said, his eyes full of adoration and amazement. 

"Voice of an angel!" Zayn said. 

"It's whatever." She shrugged. 

"Have you ever sung in front of Simon? Cause I'm pretty sure he doesn't know his step-daughter can sing." Harry said. 

"It's not important. Don't trip." She said walking past us.
