*Perrie's P.O.V*
The next morning I woke up with a groan. My body was feeling stiff and sore from the trip to the beach yesterday. Yawning, I rubbed my eyes tiredly and sat up from the cool bed sheets. What day was it today? Saturday?...Maybe... But I needed food either way. My body ached as I slowly dragged myself out from bed and down to the kitchen. I looked at the clock and frowned. It was 7:30 am. Why was I waking up so early?! I shruged to myself and sat down on a chair by the counter. My brain was still processing to wake up.
Besides, he was stuck in my mind. Zayn Malik from One direction. But it was weird, I wasn't used to having crushes...well...
"Food." I blinked a couple times, my thoughts faded away as my blue eyes darted to the familiar voice behind me. Eleanor looked just as tired as me, her brown hair sticking in all directions. A quiet giggle left my lips as Cassie made her way down the carpeted stairs as well, stopping behind Eleanor.
"Make me some..." She mumbled and I rolled my eyes as Danielle was walking down the stairs. I blinked a couple times and it happened fast. Her foot slipped and she went crashing down the stairs in to the half awake Eleanor and Cassie. The girls all groaned in unison from under their breath.
"Sorry...." Danielle said sheepishly getting off them. I bursted out laughing. I was really glad I lived with these girls.
"Why is there so much noise? Can't I get some sleep?" A slightly irrarated Isy shuffled down the stairs, her hair messy. Obviously, we had woken her up.
"Not in this house." I countered at her, grinning. I hopped off the stool and pulled up my sweatpants, walking to the other side of the counter. I hummed while I looked through the fridge and heard the other two girls help each other up.
"Does he tell you he loves you when you least expect it..." I sang softly and heard a soft gasp come from Isy behind me.
"Does he flutter your heart when he kisses your neck...." Isy sang along smiling from ear to ear. I looked up hearing the familiar beat of my song filling the kitchen. The radio had been turned on, and now Eleanor was singing the next line. Then Cassie and Danielle. I took a deep breath preparing for the chorus.
"IT'S IN HIS DNA" We all sang on the top of out lungs, our voices mixing and ringing through the air. Singing even more we started dancing together. I thought about how funny it was, how just a second ago we were all bored and now we were dancing and singing our lungs out.
"GOOD MORNING. JEEZ, I CAN'T EVEN HEAR MYSELF." I heard Zayn yell as he entered our tidy home., making the girls and I jump and stop singing. I heard a click and silence filling the air, the radio was off.
"Well then speak louder!!" Danielle chuckled as Zayn, Liam, Harry and Niall all made their way in.
"Um.. Where's Louis?" Eleanor asked, hopeful. The boys all shrugged and the smile on El's face faded in to a small frown. A crease in her forehead showing she was confused. They said that he was probably still off doing family business.
"I'm hungry...food." Niall frowned and we all exchanged glances. By 'we' I mean the girls and I...
"I guess I'll make some..." I finally sighed and got out the ingrediants to make chocolate chip pancakes.
"I can help!" Zayn grinned and made his way swiftly over to me. Don't blush, don't blush!
"Alrighty then!" I smiled up at him and we worked on the delicious pancakes together while everyone else filed out and scattered throughout the living room.

"I'm bored!!!" Zayn groaned and leaned back on the couch, only a soft whine coming from his lips. I stayed quiet and thought for a moment. What should we do? I scanned the room and Cassie was sitting by Harry, they looked so cute together! Isy and Niall were close together on the hardwood floor, their arms barely touching. Eleanor sat in the middle of the floor. Me and Zayn, our arms occansionaly brushing.
"TRUTH OR DARE!" Niall suddenly exclaimed, we all looked at him. The game of death as I called it. Of course though, we all agreed and sat in a circle on the cold floor.
"So who go-" I was cut off by Harry, who was smiling at Zayn with a wide grin, showing off his dimples.
"Zayn, truth or dare?" He asked, though his voice sounded low and dangerous but still strong with curiousity.
"Truth..." He mumbled quietly, looking down and avoiding eye contact with anyone. Esspecially me. Wonder why that was
"Who do you like!?" Harry asked, his cheeky grin still playing on his lips. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Cassie's eyes light up. I'd have to ask her about Harry.... But my mind has made it's way back to that simple question. Secretly I was hopping it was me,
Zayn stared at Harry, eyes wide and you could notice he swallowed hard before answering. "P-P-Perrie..." Everyone was shocked. Except the boys.
*Zayn's P.O.V*
My heart raced and I looked back down. I felt the heat rush to my cheeks when I felt everyone's eyes on me. I can't believe I just admitted that...
"I'll be right back." My head snapped up as I saw Eleanor stand up quickly. She glanced at me and in that split second, I swore I saw pain in her eyes. She looked...hurt? Worry bubbled up inside of me and she quickly shuffled up the stairs and you could only hear the gentle click of the door, signaling she had gone in her room.
Silence had now filled the cozy living room, but my worry had faded away when I noticed Perrie's shiny blue eyes staring at me. What was I supposed to do now? Please don't let this be awkward... I wanted to keep them all close. But, I think I just lost that chance.
