Alyssa's POV: we all climbed back into the car, but this time, i sat in the back between Niall and Liam, harry and Zayn in the middle row, and Louis was driving. silence filled the car. it is freezing, and i mean freezing in there! "where are we gonna stay Liam?" harry asked. of course he asked Liam he IS daddy directioner. "you guys can stay at my house! you know its kinda empty." Niall said, but was trailing off at the end. "yeah Niall, we'll keep you company!" Louis exclaimed. it was getting even colder in there. i couldn’t handle it anymore so i shouted "guys its really cold in here!" then i yawned. how can i be tired? "awe! Alyssa is tired and cold! she needs a cuddle!" Zayn singsonged. "no! i don’t, just turn off the AC! what is with you people and cuddling?" we all laughed until harry said "hey! at least were good at it! i would take up the offer! they don’t bite back there!" i laughed and looked over at Niall he was smiling, but when he saw me, he opened his arms out wide and said with a cute laugh "i'm cold, too!" i giggled and leaned into him. yeah. that’s right. Niall Horan was holding me in his arms. i think he lied. his arms were warm around my shoulders. i closed my eyes hard to stop myself from smiling enormously his breath smelt like coke, but the moment was amazing. for some reason, everything just seemed right in his embrace. yeah, i wish it wasn’t a "best friend" hug, but i'm sure it looked cute. i nestled my head on his shoulder and sighed deeply. i glanced up at Niall he was staring at the ground, as if there was something amusing on the ground. i looked at the ground too, but found only Liam's feet against the right wall of the car, mine tucked under the seats in front of us and Niall's turning over and over on his toes/ i closed my eyes again. i really wanted to fall asleep. no! i told myself i couldn’t do THAT! i mean we weren’t that close yet. i practically just met them all a few hours ago. this all felt like we'd been best friends forever though! "better not fall asleep unless you want them to take a picture!" Niall joked. how could he tell i was going to fall asleep? i just giggled and opened my eyes. in front of us was 3 phones ready to take a picture. "hey!" i laughed loudly and got up from Niall's arms. the second i left him, i wanted to to go back. i didn’t dare do that though. i pulled out my phone to check my messages and saw that i got a text from my mom about a half hour ago telling me that i had to come home gosh! so much for summer freedom! i asked Louis when wed get back to the park and he said in about 5 minutes. so i texted my mom: "be home in 10 :)" i didn’t really want to go home. at least i knew id see them again if they came back to the park. i spent the rest of the ride back on twitter. i gained a TON of new followers. of course! people followed me just so id help them get noticed, right? then i had to respond to all my friends that were like "OMG you’re so lucky!" and that crap. i was relieved to have a reason to get off my phone when we got back. we all stepped out into the fresh night air. i guessed that it was about 7:30 pm. "well, goodnight then bunny!" Louis said as he came up to me for a hug. i laughed and hugged him back. we all exchanged hugs and i started to walk in the opposite direction towards my house. as i walked up my front steps and up to the door, i realized that i never did hear the car start up and drive away hmm well. lets see what tomorrow brings then i opened my front door and smiled.
Niall's POV: "...they don’t bite back there!" harry said. really, harry? Alyssa looked at me. well, i actually see her face, but i could tell she was looking but, why? what was she going to do? what did i want her to do? i was on her left and Liam was on her. she could easily just cuddle up to Liam and id have to sit there and watch it, wishing it was me. yeah. i know we were "best friends" right then, but trust me, i did kinda fancy her. i tried to think of something to say. do i day "you can cuddly with me!" no... too weird. do i say "come 'ere" with a cheeky, but sympathetic smile? no. "i'm cold too!" i laughed as i said it because i didn’t know i actually said it out loud. i opened my arms for her, but then realized... i'm not actually cold. whatever. she giggled and leaned into me. she WAS cold. well, at least her shoulders were. i wrapped my arms around her. it was kinda nice. i saw that Louis was looking at me in the front mirror, so i looked down at my feet so he wouldn’t see me blush as she nestled her head on my shoulder, her hair fell to the side, over her cheeks and onto my chest. i smiled a little and looked back down at the ground. i wondered if she knew how perfect that moment was. i wanted to hold her head in my hands and play with her hair. i bit my lip and closed my eyes to imagine what that'd be like. i smiled widely at that thought. then i looked over at Alyssa, only to see that her eyes were closed and she was breathing heavily through her nose. it looked like she was going to fall asleep. i glanced back up towards the seats in front of me and saw harry and Zayn with their phones out ready to take pictures. Liam saw this, got out his and leaned around to take some too. "better not fall asleep, unless you want them to take a picture!" i joked. she laughed and opened her eyes. the look on her face was PRICELESS when she saw that phones ready to snap! "hey!" she shouted and got up from my arms. i didn’t want her to leave. somehow i was able to forget about everything bad or sad happening in the world and focus on all the happy things when i was holding her. somehow, the girl i just met a few hours ago, made me relax and be happy, just by being there next to me. somehow, i got this feeling that i wanted her to lay back down in my arms and fall asleep, right there, and never leave. i wouldn’t care how many pictures they took, what people said or what they would think back to reality. she was just a friend, and once a friend, always a friend. the farthest friends could go in being "close" was being like brother and sister. i really didn’t want that, but it seemed like that’s what she wanted. i decided to spend the rest of the ride back thinking about my mom. it was bound to happen sometime. she wasn’t that old, but the pneumonia was pretty severe. i hoped and prayed that shed get better. i loved my mom so much and she was always so supportive of me. i didn’t think i could survive without her, but of course, i didn’t really have to do anything. people did things for me, well i was sure as hell i didn’t WANT to live without her! someday id have to go visit her. i did really want to see her, but at the same time i didn’t because firstly, i didn’t want her to see me sad (because shes sick) and second, i really didn’t want to be reminded that she WAS sick. she would like. she WOULD live! yes! she WOULD! i felt my eyes beginning to water, but thankfully, we were back at the park. i climbed out after Alyssa and crossed my arms, looking around the arms, since i really didn’t know what to say, or do. "well goodnight then, bunny!" Louis said as she gave Alyssa a hug. she laughed and we all hugged each other i put my arm around her again and hugged her tight. i rested my head on her shoulder like i always do during hugs. "don’t go!" i wanted to whisper, but i knew i shouldn’t she pulled away and walked the other way. i wondered if id ever see her again. as she walked away we all just stood there in the middle of the park. she must have had some sort effect on the other lads because they watched her also. i thought about this more. was i the only one who felt this way about? did they like her too? does she like them? and will we ever see her again? of we would. i mean she just met and went to supper with One Direction! shell probably come back to park everyday hoping to see us again. but the more i thought about her, i realized that she would’ve come back to the park anyway because she does everyday! and we are all friends now, so why not? after a minute or so we walked back to the car and headed to my house. we were going to do a lot of and catching up that night. all i knew was that i was NOT going to tell them my real feelings about her. at least not now. eventually, i will; they are my "brothers". we opened the door and walked into my dark house. i flicked on the lights and lead them too my room. Zayn went straight to the bathroom, Liam and Louis slumped down on the couch. harry picked up my cat, Jess, and i flopped down on my bed. i sighed and stared up at the ceiling. a few minutes later, Zayn come back in and stared at me. i don’t know what it is with me and staring but i can always tell when someones looking at me, without actually looking at them. harry put Jess down and said "how 'bout some FIFA lads?" harry always has the best ideas when it comes to boredom. now i could put all my thoughts into the game. i sat up and we all jumped down the stairs and to the TV before starting the intense game i thought what would tomorrow bring?
