It sounds like… Niall. Fuck, I should’ve known. I lift myself onto the wall, (Not that high up like a few feet off the ground, my feet can barely touch the ground.)

Niall emerges from behind the guys and he walks in front of me. I notice he’s wearing a white button up shirt, black slacks and of course his black converses. His hair is gelled up and it looks fancy. But he does look quite handsome.

The tattoos inked onto his chest and arms are still visible through the thin white material, but it just finishes off the look.

“Hi Jade.” He smiles, his teeth sparkle. “What is all this.” “To show you how sorry I am.” “That’s sweet.” “Just you wait.” I smile and I nod for him to continue. “Boys.” Niall claps and they soon begin to play. I start to blush when I realize the song.

Niall comes up to me and holds my face in his hands and he hums lightly before he starts to sing.

If we take this bird in

 With its broken leg

 We could nurse it

 She said

 Come inside

 For a little lie down with me

 If you fall asleep

 It wouldn’t be the worst thing

 But when I wake up

 Your make-up is on my shoulder

 And tell me, if I lie down

 Would you stay now

 And let me hold you?

 But if I kiss you

 Will your mouth read this truth?

His voice is pure angelic. I never knew he could sing. He looks at me and opens up my legs and he fits right between them, he moves a piece of hair out of my face.

 Darling, how I miss you

 Strawberries taste how lips do

 And it’s not complete yet

 Mustn’t get our feet wet

 Cos that leads to regret

 Diving in too soon

 And I’ll owe it all to you

 My little bird

He ends the song, and he gives me a lingering kiss on my forehead, and he curtseys. He gets down on one knee and my eyes go wide. He pulls some out from behind him and it’s a medium size box, for like engagement rings.

It better not be an engagement ring.

“Jade, I really like you.” He says, opening up the box, I quickly shut my eyes no wanting it to be true. “Jade? You can open your eyes, it’s not what you think it is.” I squint one eye open and I laugh, when I realize it’s just sour apple ring pop. My favorite candy. “A ring pop? How classy.”

“What? It situates us!” “How did you know that sour apple is my favorite flavor?” “Lucky guess?” He grins, slipping the candy ring on my ring finger.

“Can I have a taste?” He asks, eyeing it. “Go for it.” He takes my hand, and leads it to his mouth, flicking his tongue on the tip. He lets go and smiles. “Tasty.” I bit my lip and slowly bring the candy to my lips and kissing the tip and licking it all around. I take it in my mouth and suck slowly.

Niall groans and says, “Don’t do that. Look what you’re doing to me.” He points to the bulge in his trousers. I smirk at him and grab his hand.

We end up walking back to my room, but Niall soon announces he has to go. “Goodbye Jay.” He gives me a quick peck on my lips and departs from my room. I close the door and I place the candy in a container and shove it in my bedside table.

I decide to text Addison to buy some time before I have to start to get ready for the party.

To: Addison

Hey, are you going to Harry’s party tonight?

I get a reply minutes later.

From: Addison

Yepp! Louis is driving me! Want us to pick you up darling? :)

To: Addison

Yes please! xx

From: Addison

Be ready by 6 xx                   

My phone buzzes again, but this time it’s not Addison.

From: Niall

Are you going to the cabin tonight?

To: Niall

Yes. Are you?

From: Niall

Yepp. See you there xx

I throw my phone across my room and lands on the ground with a thud. I groan and I flop down on my stomach. Why are boys so confusing?

One minute they are sweet the next they are angry then the next they are sweet again, it’s like a never ending cycle.

I stuff my face into my pillow and I let out a scream. My phone goes off and I get up from my position and I look at my new message.

From: Liam

Why are you screaming into your pillow lol

What? How would he know? Why did Liam out of all people text me?

From: Liam

Look down J xx

Curiosity got the best of me and I look out my window. Down below, I see Liam standing outside, with his phone in his hand. I push open the window and I call down to him. “What the hell?”

He chuckles, “I was taking a stroll when I heard a scream and I saw you stuffing a pillow in your face. Pretty funny scene if I do say so myself.” “Shut up.” “Are you going to the cabin tonight?” “BLOODY HELL. YES I’M GOING TO THE CABIN TONIGHT.” I shout, aggravated that everyone asks me that. “Whoa, calm down.” ‘Sorry, everyone has been asking me that today. Are you?”

“Yes, I’m bringing my girl, Beth.” “She the one with the straight brown hair? And green eyes?” I ask. “Yes, that’s her.” “How long have you guys been dating?” “Bout a year.” He smiles. “That’s cute.” “Very, well you better get ready, the party starts soon.” He waves goodbye. “Bye Liam.” I call out.

I shut my window and turns towards my mirror and I think about what I should wear tonight. Before I start to get ready I jump into the shower to cleanse my body and face. After making sure all my makeup is off my face I get out the water and I turn off the faucet. I blow dry my hair real quick and I start to straighten my hair, something new. Taking Chances right?

It didn’t take that long to do my hair, so I start to do my makeup at around 6:10 or so. I add some mascara to my eyes and a clear gloss to my lips that’s it. I strip out of my clothes and into a white New York City crop top, a pair of light grey acid wash jeans, and of course my white high tops. I slip some rings onto my fingers and some bracelets onto my wrists.  I stare into the mirror and I am pleased with my appearance. I stuff my phone into my back pocket and I walk out my door, leading me to the doors that go outside.
