Chapter 18: Because Meow

Harry and chose our tent. We chose one in the middle. I set my sleeping bag down on the floor and Harry handed me his. I began to lay out his as he set down our suitcases at the end of our sleeping bags.

"So I understand that there are no parents and you two are a couple, but the key is self control," Niall poked his head in out tent.

"Says the boy who's never even slept in the same ROOM as his girlfriend!" Harry scoffed.

"As far as you know," he winked.

"For your information Niall is bull shitting you," Stephanie poked her head next to Niall's.

"Well the didn't need to KNOW!" Niall sighed.

"If there's any couple with self control it's you two," Stephanie ignored Niall.

"Thanks?" Harry cocked his head to the side.

"Anyway, we're going to have lunch soon," she informed.

"Okay since Mr. Styles won't tell me anything, what about school and shit?" I asked.

"Nothing that's what. We're ditching school and Liam left a message on your dad's home phone saying it's a school field trip," she replied

"Well how lovely, I'll never get an A on that test next week now..." I sighed.

"Oh loosen up woman!" Harry smirked.

"Don't tell me what to do lady!" I replied.

"How sassy! No wonder you went out with Louis!" Stephanie gasped.

"Hey! We don't talk about that!" Harry yelled.

"Whoops!" Stephanie shrugged backing out of the tent. I laid down on my sleeping bag and sighed. Harry laid down next to me and held my hand.

"You're still tense, why?" he asked.

"I don't skip school THIS much!" I sighed

"Well then it's about time!" he pulled me up and led me out the tent. I walked out and was greeted with hugs from the boys. Louis was last. He hugged me fairly tight and whispered in my ear.

"So HE'S the reason?" he asked. I nodded.

"I'm sorry..." I sighed.

"It's fine. I-I understand," he replied. He let go and walked back to his spot on a log. Harry took hold of my hand and we both sat down on one of the logs. Zayn handed us each a sandwich.

"Handmade by chef Liam," Zayn smiled. We both bit in to our sandwich.

"I can't wait 'till sundown," Stephanie squealed grabbing on to Niall's arm.

"What's so special about sundown?" I asked.

"Only THE MOST beautiful sunset you will EVER see!" Stephanie smiled from ear to ear.

"And S'mores!" Niall smiled even wider than Stephanie.

"Leave it to Niall," Harry chuckled.

"S'mores and a sunset huh?" Louis asked.

"It's only THE MOST beautiful sunset you will EVER see!" I mimicked Stephanie.

"Hey!" she called.

"So I'm guessing someone brought a guitar for campfire music right?" I asked.

"Well of course! It's only TRADITION!" Zayn nodded.

"Ooooo and will we have ghost stories?" Louis asked.

"Yes you idiot! That's what we do every year!" Niall rolled his eyes.

"And there will be one about SPOONS too!" Zayn chuckled.

"Oh shut up you!" Liam play-punched Zayn.

"These sandwiches are great!" Stephanie commented.

"Hey! I was gonna say that!" Niall pouted.

"Shucks you guys!" Liam chuckled.

"Hey you guys! We should pull and all nighter or something!" Harry suggested.

"Yeah with ghost stories!" Louis smirked.

"Well I don't wanna stay out HERE at night!" I shook my head.

"Wuss!" Zayn chuckled. I stuck my tongue out at him.

"Well then we'll do it in the biggest tent!" Liam suggested.

"Sounds good!" Stephanie nodded.

"Shouldn't we all nap or something so we can stay up all night?" Niall asked.

"What are you? Five?" Zayn wrinkled his eyebrows.

"Six!" Niall corrected.

"Well we could waste time by planning out these next few days..." Liam shrugged.

"Like how?" Louis asked.

"Stephanie and Niall ration out food, Zayn and I plan activities and junk, and Chance, Louis, and Harry try starting a fire for tonight," Liam said.

"Aye aye, Captain Liam!" Harry saluted. We grouped up. Louis and Harry went out to find fire wood. I sat and waited for them to come back. When they finally came back I helped them break some of the wood into peices and we started making a fire. By the time we even got smoke the sun was already close to setting.

"Good job group! Now here's some flint!" Liam tossed us flint.

"YOU HAD FLINT AND YOU DIDN'T THINK TO SAY ANYTHING?" Harry yelled in disbelief.

"It kept you busy didn't it?" Liam smirked. We quickly finished up the fire and sat in a circle around it. Zayn and Liam passed around the marshmallows and chocolate and Niall passed the grahm crakers. We all began roasting the marshmallows just as the sun began to skim the tips of the tree tops. Niall's marshmallow caught on fire and he swung it around in panic. Stephanie rolled her eyes and blew it out. I made my s'more and Harry took it from me.

"HEY!" I crossed my arms angrily.

"Hi!" he smiled biting into my s'more.

"I believe that was MINE!" I sighed.

"Oh, you want some?" he asked.

"Yes!" I nodded. 

"Okay..." he began to give me the s'more. I opened my mouth slightly so he could feed me the s'more. I closed my eyes because I'm just a wierdo who closes her eyes when she's fed. Instead of s'more, I tasted lips. Harry's lips. I was momentarily shocked, but then threw my arms around his neck. He kissed me for a long time. It wasn't until everyone started whistling that we finally parted.

"FINALLY!" Stephanie sighed. I blushed a bit, finally realizing what Stephanie felt when Niall kissed her in front of us. It wasn't embarrassing, it was just surprising. Harry chuckled and I held his hand. He pushed something into my hand and I realized it was my s'more.

"Nice one..." I smiled down at the s'more.

"Took me YEARS to plan," Harry winked. I bit into the s'more and cuddled into Harry's chest. It was comfortable. The kind of comfort you don't get from anyone else. It came only from the one you loved.
