Chapter Four:

I yawned as I scratched my head and shoveled scrambled eggs into my mouth.

I dumped my empty dishes into the dishwasher and started it up. It hummed and light steam trickled out of the top.

I hopped into the shower and did the usual.

When I had dried off, I turned on Pandora on my phone and got ready for the day listening to a stripped mix version of Abc by Michael Jackson.

I texted Samantha and asked her to meet me at the Park in an hour and she replied with an "Okay(:".

I pulled my hair up into a French braid and tugged on some summer clothes.

Soon I was skipping down the stairs towards the exit. As I was crossing the lobby a mans voice called my name.

I spun around to see my neighbor I had met earlier, Bret. I smiled and walked towards him.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Uh I just wanted to see if you wanted to get breakfast or something?" He asked.

"I already ate, but why don't you come with me to the park? I'm meeting a friend and I'm sure she wouldn't mind you tagging along." I didn't wait for an answer and took him by his arm, I lead him out the door to outside the building.

"Well it doesn't look like I have an option"He said laughing.

"I suppose you don't" I said with a grin. "I'll just text my friend, her names Samantha by the way, and tell her you're coming." I said as we jogged across the busy street.

"Sounds good. Her names Samantha?" He asked for confirmation.

"Yeah. Why?" I said curiously as I quickly texted Sam.

"My sisters name is Samantha." He said.

"Oh really? Oh old is she?" I asked.

"Yeah she's 14. She's my only sibling, Samantha and my parents live in Manchester." He stated.

"Oh that's cool! I have one older brother." I said, thinking about him. "His names Thane." I added.

"How old is he?" Bret asked.

"He's fifteen." I responded as we entered the park.

"There's Sam!" I said and we walked over to her.

"Hey!" She said.

"Hey, your Samantha right?" Bret asked.

"Indeed. I am a Samantha." She said giggling.

"Well nice to meet ya." Bret said.

"Let's go this way!" I said and turned in the direction of the swings. We headed off into the park.

---A few hours later---

"Who've you been texting?" Sam asked as we all walked towards the entrance of the park, eating ice cream.

"Some friends I made last night." I said referring to Ashton and Harry.

"Ooohhh you got a new boyfriendddd." Sam said teasing.

"No I don't." I said shooting a quick smile at Bret. "They're just friends."

"Dang, I'm going to be late for piano instruction." Sam said "Talk to you all later!" She called back after getting Bret's number and running off in the opposite direction of my apartment.

Harry texted me to see if I wanted to come hang out with everyone in their hotel rooms. I told him I would be there in about two hours.

"So you wanna come to my apartment for a bit." Bret offered nervously as we walked into the building.

"Sure!" I said and we made our way there.

"You look pretty today, even more than you did in your robe yesterday." He chuckled and I pushed his arm.

"I am taking that as I a compliment." I said as we walked into his stylishly furnished apartment.

"It was intending it to be one." He said back.

"I love your apartment." I complimented him.

"Thank you. Would you like to see my bedroom?" He asked. I nodded and he guided me to his room.

"That is so cool." I said as I walked into his room, I spotted a wall with every inch covered in picture. Below the pictures there was a red blanket that had all types of different cameras on it. Most of the them old or vintage.

"Thanks." He said shyly.

"Most guys don't like photography." I added.

"Oh." He said blushing.

"No, in a good way." I walked over to him and put my hand on his bicep."I think it's fantastic" He smiled and grabbed my hand. Our fingers intertwined and he showed me the rest of his apartment.

"Oh shit. I have to go" I said checking the time. "Hey maybe I can come with you to take pictures sometime." I said as headed towards the door.

"That would be fantastic. See ya around Mags." He said.

"Bye Bret." I flung my arms around his neck and gave him a hug. When I pulled away he gave me a kiss on the cheek and I blushed. I said good-bye again and hastily walked up to my apartment to change before meeting up with the boys at their hotel because I had some ice cream stains on my current shirt.

After I changed I hopped in my Jeep and sped off towards the hotel Harry gave me directions to. I got caught in traffic quickly and groaned before turning my radio up. Cher Lloyd came on and I sang along. After another half an hour passed I decided to call Ashton to tell him I would be late.

After just a few rings he picked up.

"Aye?" He answered.

"Hey Ashton, it's Maggie. Traffic is a bitch right now. I'm gonna be a bit late, I'm sorry but I'll be there as soon as I can." I said as I moved forward about a foot or two. I rolled my eyes at someone honking their horn and muttered a curse at them.

"Yeah? Aw man that sucks Maggie. Lemme tell the boys, hold on a second." He said. In a few minutes he picked up the phone and tried to speak but I could barely hear him over a bunch of other voices in the back ground so he walked into a seperate room.

"Yeah sorry about that Maggie. The boys said not to worry about being late just get here when you can we're all in my room that adjoins to Lukes, he's in my band, we won't do anything till you get here." He said.

"Aw thanks Ashton!" I said. "I might get there sooner than I thought, traffic is getting a bit faster." I said as I got going a bit.

"That's good. Hey I wanted to talk to you about something, you know warn you." He said in a serious tone.

"Uh okay. Go ahead." I said as the traffic picked up.

"Well Niall fancies you a bit," I blushed and smiled as he continued," But Harry does too we think, Harry's sort of a flirt and likes to have flings and stuff. We just don't want either one to get hurt so heads up if you like one of the guys, please be careful. We love them like brothers." He said sincerely.

"I would never intentionally hurt one of them." I said.

"Yeah. You're gorgeous though and beautiful people break hearts." He said with a chuckle.

"Thank you Ashton for saying I'm pretty." I said grinning.

"Well I'll probably be there in twenty minutes, see ya." I said. he said good-bye and I sighed and turned up the music louder so I didn't have to think about what he told me. About thirty minutes later I got to the hotel and made my way to the hotel room Ashton told me to come to. It was cracked a bit so I slowly pushed it open. When I heard what they were talking about though, I froze and leaned into listen.
