They decided to sleep on it. Harry and Niall had a very big home- one master bedroom, two smaller ones, and a guest room. Zayn and Perrie took one of the smaller rooms- Niall and Harry took the other. Louis, Eleanor, and Lou all slept in the master bedroom, and Danielle and Liam slept in the guest room.

They all fought hard to actually get to sleep. It took hours for them to force their eyes closed for more than five seconds, but somehow, everyone managed to fall asleep.

Paranoia was already taking over them.

Danielle was the first to wake up. She sat up gently in bed, rubbing her eyes. When she saw Liam was still asleep and the fact that the room was dark and it was still only seven o'clock in the morning, she lay back down in Liam's arms. She didn't fall asleep again.

Lou woke up next. She sat up and looked around. It was seven thirty, now.

She realize she wasn't in her home, and last nights events creeped up on her. It took every little fiber of strength in her to not cry, because she would wake Louis and Eleanor.

She discovered that didn't matter about fifteen seconds later when Louis groaned, "Eleanor, stop pinching me.", rolled over, and fell off the bed. That woke both of them up pretty quick.

"Louis," Eleanor giggled, rolling her eyes at the boy on the ground. She held out her hand for him to take.

"Hi," Louis said, blushing a little bit. He took Eleanor's hand and she helped him stand.

"Good morning, Lou." Louis said once he was stood fully, brushing himself off. "Did I wake you? I'm sorry."

"Oh-oh no, you didn't wake me." Lou smiled kindly, trying to hide the evident I'm-about-to-cry tone in her voice. Eleanor and Louis didn't notice, they just began giggling about how Louis fell out of bed often. She was grateful for that.

Liam woke up at around eight o'clock. Danielle was still up, so she just shifted, rolling off of his chest so he could sit up.

"Good morning, Dani." Liam smiled tiredly. "How long have you been up, love?"

Danielle shrugged. "An hour or so, I think. I couldn't fall back asleep."

"You should have woken me." Liam said, leaning it to kiss her. "I would have kept you company."

"Half-laying on you was company enough for the morning." Danielle said, flush after Liam's sweet kiss.

"You want to go see if the others are up?" Liam asked, smiling at Danielle's statement. "I'll make you some breakfast."

"Sure, okay." Danielle said. She shifted again and scooted out of bed. Liam rubbed at his eyes for a moment, then he got up, too.

They wandered downstairs after softly knocking on all the rooms' doors. Louis, Eleanor, and Lou were all awake, so they went downstairs with Danielle and Liam. The rest of the house was still asleep.

A nightmare woke Niall up. He sat up quickly, a broken yelp forcing its way out of his throat. The sudden movement and noise woke Harry up, too.

"Niall," Harry said, confused. He placed a hand on Niall's arm. "Niall, are you alright? What happened?"

"N-nothing." Niall stuttered, burying his face in his hands. "I'm just- it was nothing. I'm okay."

Harry sat up groggily, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes and pressing a kiss to Niall's neck. It was 9:00.

"Are you sure?" Harry rested his chin on Niall's shoulder, rubbing small circles into Niall's back.
