*Makayla's POV*

I woke up and stretched. I saw someone sitting at my desk looking at one of my drawing pads. Liam. I smiled and got up quietly. I tip toed up to him and slowly put my hands on his shoulders. I massaged them lightly and looked at the drawing pad. A picture of him was open. I blushed and he looked at me. He looked tired and worn.

"Tired?" I asked him and he nodded. "Why? Did you sleep."

"Hardly." He said quietly.

"Why?" I asked concerned.

"I'm worried about you I guess." He said and I pouted. He wasn't sleeping now because of me. I grabbed his hand and pulled him up. I led him to my bed and motioned for him to lie down. He did and I went to leave the room but he grabbed my wrist. I looked back to see him frowning. I laughed.

"I'm just going to go downstairs and get to know the boys. Don't worry I'm fine." I ensured him but he sat up and pouted his lip out more. I giggled and leaned down slowly pecking his lip. Butterflies erupted almost every time I had the slightest interaction with the boy. When he looked at me my heart jumped. When he smiled it jumped more. When touch became present goosebumps were all over and a shiver ran down my back. But when I kissed him... When ever I kissed him butterflies would have a blast in my stomach and everything just seemed perfect. We had pulled away and he realized how deep in thought I was.

"What?" He asked nearly a whisper. I shook my head.

"What are we?" I asked confidently. He became puzzled.

"I-I don't know." He stuttered and looked in my eyes. He let go of my wrist and fell back on the bed. "I'll think about it. Let me sleep on it and maybe I'll be clear when I wake up." He stated, closing his eyes, and yawning. I nodded and walked out of the room shutting the door silently. I heard laughing and small chatter from downstairs. I walked down and peaked into the kitchen. All of the boys were sitting at the table. I walked in and they all turned and looked at me.

"Hi boys!" I exclaimed.

"Hi Makayla!" They chorused. I chuckled and began making myself something to eat.

"Where's Liam?" Harry asked me. I looked at him and pointed upstairs. His mouth made an 'o' shape and he nodded.

"You know he kept me up with him." Niall said. I shook my head.

"He didn't tell me that." I said.

"How much did he tell you?" Niall asked. I shrugged.

"Will you tell me because I'm quite confused about why he's worried." He nodded. I grabbed my toast and sat down next to Harry and smiled at him, he smiled back and handed me a glass and the orange juice. "Thanks Harry!" I exclaimed. He nodded and turned chatting with Louis. I looked at Niall and he sighed.

"That day that Liam found you he was really frantic. Makayla, he cares about you. I guess he was worried about leaving you alone even though he knew your brother was here. Liam has a huge heart and you know that. Last night I woke up around 3am and he was crying silently. When I asked him what was wrong he said he was just worried about you and if you were okay. Honestly I think he likes you as more than a friend but he's afraid to admit it." He said.

"We are more than friends... I mean you can tell. But it's like skinny love here." I said. The boys all looked at me questionably.

"What does skinny love mean? What is it?" Zayn asked.

"Skinny love is when two people love each other but are both too shy to admit it to one another but manage to show it." I stated in one breath.

"Oh! I know what you mean now." Zayn said.
