I'd just finished packing my bags for the holiday,we leave tomorrow. I was heading downstairs to find Niall as he was taking me on a 'best friend day' when I bumped into Liam coming up the stairs.I havn't really spoken to him since the kiss and I hated it,he's a really close friend. In fact,I feel like he's replaced Molly in a way,I feel closer to him than her these day's.

"Liam?" He blinked in shock.

"Yeah?" He asked carefully.

"I just,about the other night,It shouldnt have happened and I'm really sorry,I didnt handle it very well I know. It's not that I didnt enjoy it it's just,I love Zayn"

"Yeah I know,it's fine,I feel the same way but with Charlotte"He told me with a shy smile.

"Charlotte?" I asked,my smile widening.

"Yeah" He admitted sheepishly.

"Go for it,youre perfect for each other"

"You think so?" He asked me uncertainly.

"I know so"

"Lottie get your arse down here,youre late for everything!" Me and Liam both gave a chuckle as Niall's voice headed up the stairs.

"I'll see you later,you are coming to see us off tomorrow right?"

"Course I am" He said embracing me in a hug.

"Best friends?" I asked him.

"Forever and Always"

(...)

"Okay,so I've bought you Nike Airs,a sailor dress,strappy wedges to match and a friendship bracelet,but thats not it,the best part is still to come" Niall told me. I rolled my eyes at the Nike Airs...he forced me into getting them so we could be 'twins' He's such a freak,but I love him.

"And what would that be?" I asked him slyly. I was hoping it was food because im starving,and with Niall it's almost a dead cert that its food related.

"You get to choose where we go for lunch"

I faked looking shocked.

"You'd do that for me?" I teased.

"Anything for you love" He said,wrapping an arm around my shoulder. Aww,cuteeee.

(....)

"He did what?!" Summer spluttered,looking at her boyfriend incredilously.

"Yup,so I chose McDonalds" I know,I had the chance to pick a nice place to eat instead of Nandos where we usually have to go and I choose McDonalds,good on Lottie.

"Why?!" She directed her question at Niall.

"Because I wont see her for 2 weeks,i'm going to miss her" He admitted shyly.

"Seriously,what did you do to him?!"

Oh yeah,were taking 2 weeks out now,it was my therapist that suggested it. Just recently i've been under a lot of pressure and suffering from stress disorder,so he thought it would be good for me to take some time away from the media and the attention and just relax with Zayn,and thats what we planned to do. Niall and Summer were going to New York,so no doubt theyd get a lot of attention there but dad and Zayn have put a lot of effort into keeping our location a secret,and it seems to be working so far.

After showing Summer the things Niall bought me,including the bracelet which had different items of food hanging from it, a four leafed clover and a musical note,I headed to bed,knowing I had a really long day ahead of me.

(....)

"I can't believe you're both leaving me" Molly faked being hurt as we said our goodbyes at the airport.

"Try not to destroy the house eh you two?" I asked Molly and Lou.

"Wow,i'm not that rough am I Mol?" He asked cheekily.

"Wow Louis! Keep that to yourself and Molly" Summer groaned.

"And Harry" Louis added,sending a wink to his flirtatious best friend.

"Make sure they don't get themselves killed?" I asked,turning to Liam.

"I'll take good care of them" Charlotte answered for him. They shouldnt get into too much trouble with Liam and Char there to look after them.

We shared hugs and brief goodbyes before boarding our plane. Jamaica here we come!

(....)

I slept all flight and even on the drive to the home we were staying in,Zayn just carried me in. All the sleep did me good though because I woke up feeling bright and energised. I turned,expecting to see Zayn but he wasnt in bed beside me. Thats odd,he's never awake before me.

I stood up and made my way through the house and found Zayn in the kitchen,watching the News,it seems Louis and Harry had been on a night on the town with Aidan,they got pretty messed up by the looks of it.

"I feel like i've been replaced" Zayn joked. It was then that I realised Zayn was fully dressed as opposed to me who was in swimwear.

"What are you wearing?" He asked me,looking me up and down.

"My bikini,duh,are we going out in the sun to tan or staying here?" I asked him,itching to get outside in the heat.

"We have plans for this morning" he told me with a sly smile.

"And what would that be?"

"Were going to get your first tattoo"

I didnt get just one in the end,I got 3, 'Take me to Neverland' On my Collarbone, 'Midnight doesnt last forever,dark turns to light' on my right shoulder and 'forever young' on my left wrist. Liam loved his song lyrics on my shoulder,Zayn posted a picture of it on Twitter and within 10 minutes it had been retweeted 237 times. Dear God.

And then my phone rang and it was my Dad. I'm guessing he's seen the photo.

Shit.
