Changes (A Niall Horan romance)

Chapter 12

*A.J.'s P.O.V.*

We stood in silence no one moving, the only pronounced sound was Harry's heaving breathing and the slowing of Niall's rapid heart beat.

Anger and guilt still weighing heavy in the air. 

"How do you deal with this." Harry murmered, shaking his head. His curls falling around his face.

"Well, I've had practice." I joked half heartedly. Both Niall and Harry looked at me confused. I rolled my eyes, boys.

"I've had monthly practice. Think about, think about it hard." I said, waving my hand, signalizing for them to think.

Their faces remained the same for about 5 seconds before realization washed over them and they both became uncomfortable.

"Really A.J.?" Harry smiled, his mood lifting slightly.

"Hey it worked didnt' it? You guys feel a bit better don't you?" I cocked an eyebrow at them. Their sniles grew as each of them let out a light chuckle.

"Yeah, you have that effect on people." Harry responded. Swinging an arm around my shoulder. 

"Well, its been a long night, so I'm gonna crash. I'll see you tomorrow?" Niall finally spoke. His first words since his outburst.

"Yeah. We'll talk tomorrow." I said, stepping away from Harry and giving him a slightly lingering hug and a kiss on the cheek. His cheeks flushed a light pink as he jogged up the stairs and out of sight.

"You spending the night?" I asked turning my attention back to my best friend.

"Well, duh."

I smiled as once again his arm was slung around my shoulders.

I groaned, feeling for my phone. The buzzing quickly stopped as I hit the accept button.

"Hello?" I answered, not opening my eyes.

"A.J! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?! WE HAVE THE DANCE PERFORMANCE IN 10 MINUTES!" Elena's voice screamed at me through the receiver.

My eyes shot open and I was up and dressed in 10 seconds, literally.

"I'm on my way! Be there in 5." I hung up the phone, throwing it in my bag and speeding down the stairs. 

I texted Harry, letting him know where I was going and almost made it to the door, but tripped over something lying in the middle of the floor. 

I heard a groan of pain. Glancing behind me I saw a head of bright red hair half hidden under a blanket.

"Gabby, move your ass. I have a performance to get to!"

Not looking behind me, I ran out the door as fast as I could.

*Harry's P.O.V.*

My eyes fluttered open, at the sound of my phone going off.

Sitting up, I grabbed my phone from Athena's night stand. 

From:The awesomest person alive(:

Hey, I'll be back later. I got that dance perdormance. Love ya. Xx

I texted her back a quick 'Okay, Love you too Xx.' 

I got up, slipping on my shirt over my head, grabbing an extra pair of my pants from my drawer. Yeah, I spend so much time here A.J. just started keeping a drawer of my stuff and a toothbrush in her bathroom. Same for her at my place. 

I changed out of my PJs and neetly folded them and put them back in the drawer. A.J. was kind of a neat freak.

I hopped down the stairs, finding Gabby asleep on the floor at the foot of the stairs.

"Gabby? What the hell are you doing?" I asked, looking down at her.

Her eyes opened, looking slightly confused 'Wow it's Harry, haven't seen him in a while.'  Her voice echoed in my head.

"Haven't seen you in while either." I chuckled reaching down and helping her to her feet. 

She smiled as she picked up her blanket and pillow from the floor.

"I ask again, what are you doing sleeping on the floor?" 

"I honestly have no idea.." She laughed. Red curls falling around her face.

Silence fell between us, though only lasting a couple seconds before we were interrupted. 

That's when I saw her.

*Back to A.J.'s P.O.V.* 

*2 hours later*

I stepped back over the threshold of my door, warm air warming my skin. Instantly emotions from the humans inside washed through me, oh and the one vampire.

I ran up the stairs, still yet to be discovered by the other peolple in the house. Putting away my dance stuff, happy to find my bed had been made by Harry. 

'Aww he knows me so well.' I thought, a smile lifting the corners of my mouth.

"Well, we've only been best friends for 8 years." A deep voice chuckled from behind me.

I turned my head to see a smiling Harry. I returned the smile before falling onto my bed.

"I am sooooo tired." I groaned, elongating the word 'so'

"Yeah, I know how you feel. It's been a long 2 days." He said, falling beside me. 

I let out a long sigh. Closing my eyes for a breif second, before a voice broke my moment of bliss.

"A.J? You home?" Dakota called, appearing in my doorway.

As Harry turned his head to look at her a newly familiar feeling flowed through me. I felt as if I was imprinting all over again, though this time I wasn't stairing at the blonde haired, blue eyed boy I had fallen in love with yesterday. This time I was imprinting on Dakota.

"Yeah, I'll be right down." I spoke quickly, trying to ever so discreatley shew her away.

"Okay..." Her voice pronounced the word slowly as she turned on her heel and hopped down the stairs.

As soon as she was out of sight. I whipped around to look at Harry, hitting him in the shoulder with the back of my hand. 

"Owww, what was that for?!" he whined.

"You imprinted on Dakota?!"
