---------------------------------------------

*Carrie-Lee's POV*

Niall and I walk downstairs hand in hand to the kitchen to see what the others are up to and if the food is ready yet. Oh my gosh, it smells so good!

I haven't had a decent meal in awhile, so my mouth is watering for a taste of practically anything good and edible. I wonder what it is they're cooking up. It doesn't really smell like Harry's fajitas, so I'm not sure.

We walk in together and I see Harry standing over the stove cooking ground beef and pouring in lots of seasoning. Zayn is putting taco shells in the oven, so now I know what we're having. TACOS!

Liam and Louis are sitting by the kitchen island and laughing about something. No one has noticed Niall and I's presence yet.

Niall looks at me and gives me a mischievous grin and a wink. I bite my lip to hold back a giggle.

"Hey, lads!"

"Hey Niall, how's Carrie-Lee? Is she alri---"

Harry turns his back away from the stove and looks at Niall, but quickly drops his cooking spoon on the floor when he sees me. I can't help but laugh at his shocked expression, and apparently neither can Niall because he's rolling around on the floor holding his stomach. I swear he's not normal, that lad. He laughs at literally everything!

"What? How? When? Who? Huh?" Harry stutters, making Niall laugh even harder.

Louis and Liam aren't laughing anymore, but staring back and forth in utter shock from me to the laughing lad on the floor. They are utterly speechless and I can't help but smile.

"Hi, guys." I say a bit shyly.

I walk over in front of Harry and pick up the spoon he dropped on the floor. I lay it on the counter and everyone is watching my every move. Well, except Niall of course. He's still trying to pick himself up off of the floor.

"LeeLeeeeeee!"

Louis finally breaks out of his state of shock and jumps up from his seat. He runs over to me and pulls me into a tight hug, which I gladly return.

"I've missed seeing you so much, LeeLee! I love you so much, and please don't ever doubt me when I say that." He mumbles into my shoulder.

"I missed you too, Lou. I love you so much." I whisper back.

He lets me go and puts on a wide smile. Next, Liam comes over to me.

"So glad to see you out of your room again. How are you feeling, love?" He asks me, smiling proudly.

"I'm glad to be out of my room again, it feels so... free! And I'm feeling quite a bit better thanks to the deep and wise words of Nialler." I point to Niall and smile at him.

He smiles back at me with a huge grin. "So glad I could help you! It's really great having you feeling better and not so upset. I'd honestly do anything just to keep that beautiful smile on your face."

The heat rushes to my cheeks and I look down so they don't see me blushing.

"Aww, look! She's blushing!"

Damn you, Louis Tomlinson.

I feel a finger go underneath my chin and lift my head up. I see the mesmerizing, caramel brown eyes of Zayn. He smiles down at me and then pulls me into a hug.
