AN: I normally don't do these in the beginning of the chapter, but I'd really like to apologize. I'm so sorry for taking forever to update! I'm really, truly sorry!! If you guys are ever waiting for me to update just let me know that I need to update! Oh, and we're going to say that it's currently early December in the book.

Melissa's POV
Louis, Harry and Zayn take a good twenty minutes to pick out my outfit. It consists of a baggy knitted cream colored sweater with a black camisole underneath, dark blue jeans and a pair of grey boots. I'm actually surprised at how nice it looks.
"Man, we're really good at this." Louis says as I walk out from my room after changing. They all high-five each other.
"You really do look good, Melissa." Zayn smiles.
"Thank you, Zayn." I smile back shyly. What? You would be all shy too if THE Zayn Malik complimented you. Just because I live with him doesn't mean that he doesn't affect me.
"Well, your ride should be here shortly." Harry says as we walk to the living room.
"Can you guys give me some sorts of hint?" I beg.
The boys think for a second then they all come to some sorts of agreement, even though they didn't utter a word. "You tell us what you want to know, and we'll see if we can tell you what you want to know." Zayn tells me.
"Alright. I'm still spending my day with Niall and Liam, right?" I ask just to make sure.
"Yeah. Wouldn't want to ruin your schedule, now, would we?" Louis answers, smirking because he's making fun of me.
"Having a schedule isn't a bad thing." I pout. Louis just laughs at me.
"Anything else you want to know?" Harry asks me.
"Just one more for now." I say, "Is my day still going to be split up between Niall and Liam?"
"Surprisingly, it won't be. Liam and Niall decided to do something together this time. I think they said something about being able to do more that way." Harry answers, shocking me. Last I checked Niall and Liam weren't exactly getting along.
"Really?" I ask, not hiding my shock.
"It's a surprise to all of us." Zayn laughs.
"Liam and Niall should be getting here shortly." Harry says, looking at his watch.
"What time are they supposed to be here?" I ask Harry.
"They said they'd be here around eleven." He informs me.
"Well, it's eleven now, so they should be here any second." Louis butts in.
Before anyone could say anything I hear the front door opened. Oh crap. I know I shouldn't be scared or worried, but I am. What happens if things go wrong? What am I supposed to do if they start fighting? What if we get mobbed??
"Mel, are you there?" Louis laughs, waving his hand in front of my face.
"Oh, yeah. Sorry, I just spaced out." I try to cover up my worry.
Just then, Liam and Niall walk in the living room. "Hey, Melly!" Liam greets me, walking to me to give me a hug.
"Hi ya, Li!" I smile, returning Liam's hug.
"Hi, Mel." Niall smiles.
"Hi, Nialler!" I smile back, letting go of Liam an hugging Niall. Then the boys started talking and discussing things. I payed no attention to them, though. I was to busy drowning in my worries.
"You ready to go?" Niall asks me once they all finish talking.
"Yeah." I nod.
"Alright, then let's go." Liam says, then starts to make his way to the front door.
"Bye guys!" I say to Louis, Harry and Zayn. The all respond back with a goodbye and I start following Liam with Niall tagging along.
"So are you excited?" Niall asks as we walk out of the building.
"More like scared out of my mind." I mutter, hoping he couldn't hear.
"What was that?" He asks, not hearing what I said.
"Nothing." I say, then change the topic, "What are we doing today?"
"It's a surprise." He smirks, then gets into the car. I do the same, getting into the back. Liam starts the car and we head off to our unknown (for me, at least) location.
We drive for a few hours -passing the time by singing along to the radio and talking about anything and everything- before we arrive at our destination. And our destination looks like the desert but more green.
"Where are we?" I ask, having no clue where we are.
"We're out in the middle of nowhere." Liam says, stating the obvious.
"No duh, captain obvious." I roll my eyes. "What are we supposed to do in the middle of nowhere?"
Niall and Liam look at each other and smirk. "We're going sky-diving."
Oh lord.

AN: You guys have no idea how sorry I am! I kept meaning to update, but I never did. I've been busy and things just haven't been going my way. My older sister came home from college (she's staying until we move to Texas) and things went downhill. My entire life was flipped upside-down. And I've been hanging out with my friends so I can get away from my family, so I haven't had time to write. I'm sooo sorry! Mea culpa!! (That's 'my fault' in Latin) I promise I'll update more often! I've got some motivation right now, so I'm going to start working on the next chapter.
Can I get two votes and comments on this chapter before I put up the next one? The more people vote and comment, the happier I get, which means more motivation to update!
I love all of you!!

P.S. - This is dedicated to my two best friends here (where I live) who have helped me so much without even knowing.
