*Shay's POV*

This wasn't going to be my day. I just woke up, but I could already tell. I woke up with this bizzare headache and I drunk some asprins, but it wasn't kicking in yet. Despite all the pain, I got up and picked out my outfit.

Since it was super cold, I wore a cute sweater and curled my hair. It was about 20 days away from Christmas and I told myself that I would ask Josh to come Christmas shopping with me so that I would pick something out for the boys. I had the girls' presents picked and wrapped. I, also, needed something for Josh. 

I sighed as I remembered that I would only think of Josh as a friend. I began to get upset as I felt hot tears stinging in my eyes, but I was interuppted but the sound of jingling keys. The girls. I needed to change that damn lock, man. I quickly blinked back the tears and finished tying my boots.

"Good morning, girls." I said, hugging them all. I gave Tishana an extra tight hug and she smiled.

"Tipi told us what happened. I think something fishy must be going on because I've texted Zayn a bunch of times and he doesn't seem like the type to do that." Kassie said, plopping down on the couch. I nodded and bit my lip. They had no idea the boys were coming over.

"Have you guys all texted the boys?" I asked, sitting on my kitchen counter, taking a bite out of a banana. They all nodded and Emily grunted. 

"Louis is such a drama queen! He's so sassy and it's obnoxious!" Emily said, throwing herself on the loveseat across from me. 

Jazmine laughed. "So basically a male, British version of you." 

Everyone laughed as Emily huffed. Tishana pulled out a chair and sat at the kitchen table. I looked at her and threw a grape at her. She giggled and threw it back. I smiled at her and she smiled back. When she finds out Zayn is coming, she's going to murder me. Right on que, there was a knock at the door. I felt my eyes widen and I rushed to the door.

"Were you expecting someone?" Jillian said, looking up from her phone. I shook my head and opened the door. The boys stood there and smiled at me. I widened my eyes and shut the door quickly. 

"Who was that?" Emily asked, looking at the door behind me. I pressed my back against the door.

"Psh, no one." I said, laughing nervously. I watched as Tishana walked over to me, and pushed me out of the way of the door. When she opened the door, the boy's looked at us, confused. Tishana widened her eyes as well and when Liam was about to talk, she shut the door.

"Shay! You invited them!?" Tishana said in a loud whisper.

I bit my lip and shrugged, innocently. "Oops..?"

Tishana opened the door and the boys stood there, a little annoyed. Tishana motioned them to come in and they hestiated before coming in.

"Shay, do you do this to all your house guests?" Louis asked, sitting beside Emily, who inches to the other side of the love seat. Emily rolled her eyes and scoffed.

"Can you dial down on the attitude, Tomlinson? It's Shay's flat and if you wants to slam the door in your face repeatedly, she can!" Emily yelled, not making eye contact with Louis, who laughed and shook his head. 

"Yeah, I'm the one with the attitude problem..." He muttered, pulling out his phone.

I looked over at Zayn who leaned against the door, staring at Tishana, who was staring at my curtains like they were the most interesting thing in the world.

Niall and Jillian were sitting on the couch, whispering to each other. We all knew they were a couple, but no one said anything about it. Liam and Kassie were exchaning pictures of their dogs and smiling like idiots.
