Haley's P.O.V.

I finished packing and decided to change into a comfier outfit. (picture)

I grab my bags and headed downstairs to see the guys waiting on me. I hugged Ali one more time and told her I loved her for the thousandth time today. my bags were taken by Simon and Josh. I insisted that I would take them but they said no.
we piled into the separate cars the people in my vehicle were Simon, me, and JJ in the backseat Vik in front and Josh was driving. the Cals, Ethan, Harry, and Tobi were in the other one. we mainly jammed out to JJ's ep (Keep Up),which I rapped all of the words to.

we pulled up to the house and got out my bags. we walked in and it was just as I suspected from the videos I've watched.

"I can show you around if you'd like." Simon said while taking the heavier bag from me.

"sure!" I said as we went up the stairs.

"this is Josh's room, Vik's room, my room, and your room!" he said while pointing to each of the doors.

I walked over to my room and opened the door. it was beautiful. the walls were a light gray color and the room had a high ceiling. there was a wooden floor.
perfect for dancing
I thought to myself. over in one corner was a typical gamer desk with three monitors, an Xbox 360, a PlayStation, and a mic headset. there was a bed underneath a window on the far left of the room with a window seat mirroring on the right side of the room. in another corner there was a wardrobe and a full length mirror.

"I love it!" I said as I hugged Simon.

"I'm glad you like it." he said hugging me back.

gosh I love his hugs

I thought to myself.

"what?" he questioned
"I said that out loud, didn't I."
"yep"
"well your hugs are pretty great!" I said still hugging him.
"I know!" he said laughing.

Simon's P.O.V.

I really like Haley. even though we met an hour ago I feel like I've known her for months.

the thing is, I don't know if she likes me...

after showing her the rooms I showed her the downstairs part of the house.

you can tell that she really likes it here by her facial expressions. the way her eyes light up when one of us talks to her. when she smiles at the slightest things we do. God that smile could kill me.

Haley's P.O.V.

after Simon showed me around the house the house, we went into the kitchen to find Josh and Vik.

"where are the others?" I questioned.

"they had to go record some videos" Josh said while getting a drink from the fridge.

"ok" I smiled.

"oh one thing, who is the legal guardian of me?" I asked looking at each of them.

"me!" Josh said ecstatically.

"DADDY ZERK!" I yelled as I ran over and hugged him.

"oh come on. not this again!" he sighed.

"hey you can't deny it!" I said as we all laughed.

I let go of him after a few seconds and saw Simon out of the corner of my eye staring at us like he was upset. is he jealous? probably not I mean who in their right mind would date me.

"I'm gonna go get settled in" I said to the guys as I walked towards the stairs.

"I gotta go edit a video." Simon said following me.

when I got to my room I started to unpack my belongings into their designated places.

while doing this, I decide to put some music on. I was dancing and singing along to Work Song by Hozier when I heard a knock on my door. I turned around to find Simon standing there smiling.

"your a dancer?" he asked as he sat down on my bed.

"yeah I've been dancing for about four years..." I trailed off.

"wow...I'm impressed." Simon said as he smirked.

"it's nothing really. what are good at besides video games?"

"football" he replied without any hesitation.

"I've always wanted to play but, my childhood was different from most people. I was restricted in other words. I had to do what I was told or" I stopped because I realized what I was doing. I'm not ready to tell them my past, not yet. I looked at Simon as he waited for answer. "um I just wasn't allowed" I said quickly.

"you had to you what you were told or what would happen?" he asked me. clearly catching my mistake. stupid idiot I thought to my self.

"I would get punished" I said tears brimming my eyes. don't cry, not in front of him.

"I'm sor-"

"don't apologize. it's not your fault."
I said looking at my hands as I played with my fingers.

"it's my fault. it's always my fault."

I felt something wet on my fingers.

tears

no. stop it Haley don't cry. your stronger than this.

I was engulfed into a hug by Simon.

"thank you." I said as I hugged back tightly not wanting to let go. he started to rub various shapes with his hand on my back.

"your welcome. if you need someone to talk to, I'm here. I will always be here." he said whispering  the last part into my ear.

this is what I've needed for so long. and I finally got it.
