I fluttered my eyes open and didn't recognize anything in my surroundings. I was in a small room. The walls were a beige color and there were two chairs and a desk. It was like an office desk. The lights were very dim.

I raised up. "Where am I?"

My head started pounding immediately. I placed my hands lightly on my head.

"Hey.... let's not do that. Just rest." A soft voice said behind me.

I turned around and saw this boy. He had beautiful chocolate brown eyes, brown hair up in a quiff, and a tiny smile. He was wearing a white shirt with a nice leather jacket, and black jeans. Oh my. Was he good looking.

I touched my head again and felt something wet. I pulled my hand down and examined it. It was blood. My head was bleeding.

I tried to stand up but failed. I fell over but the boy caught me. "Here. You sit and I'll clean you up." He said, pulling out a chair while hanging onto me.

I sat down slowly and closed my eyes. What's even going on? I'm confused and lost. And I don't even know who this boy is.

"Ummm......" I tried to speak butr the words were caught in my throat. The boy chuckled lightly at me. I felt very stupid at the moment. You know, not being able to talk. What was wrong with me?

I tried once again. "Umm... What's going on?" I asked quietly. The boy was finishing up bandaging my injured head. He began putting the stuff away. I still haven't received an answer for my question. I was getting a little upset.

He put the medical supplies away and sat in the chair in front of me.

"Do you remember anything"  He asked. I sat there and thought for a moment.

"I went to the bar tender and asked for an alcoholic beverage but nothing strong, He got me a drink and I smelt it. It was awful! I was going to throw it away when someone ran into me and caused me to spill my drink all over me. Then he took me to this back room. I didn't even want to go. I told him that. And he hit me. Then he walked out and some other guy came in. He told me that everything would be okay. He made me feel safer."

I saw a smile appear on the boy's face. I continued.

"So when the bad guy came back, the good guy beat him up. But when the good guy got punched, I got very angry, so I threw the hardest punch I could. And in return, he did as well. I landed on the ground and everything went black."

The boy nodded his head, We both sat in slience. He was looking at the ground with his hands together. I examined the boy. I hope it didn't look like I was staring. Then it hit me. Where was Kayla and Codi?

Codi's P.O.V.

I haven't seen Tatum since we got here. I told Kayla I was going to the restrooms and to stay with Tatum.

Once I was done using the restroom, I went to wash my hands and there stood Kayla with no Tatum. Great!

"Kayla, where's Tatum?"

"I don't know."

"She's never been here before and you left her?"

"Well I turned around to tell her that I needed to use the restroom and she wasn't there."

I sighed. This is great. We're responsible for Tatum and now she's gone. I hope she's okay.

"We need to find here." I said, wallking out of the restroom. I wasn't paying attention and I ran into someone.

"Oh my goodness!! I'm so sorry." I said, looking down in embarrassment.

Tatum's P.O.V.

After what seemed like forever, the boy finally answered.

"And you don't know who the boy was that saved you?"

"No." I replied, shaking my head. The boy chuckled once again. It wasn't evil. It was a soft chuckle.

"I was the boy who saved you." I looked up and my eyes got a bit wider.

"I'm Liam. Liam Payne."

Codi's P.O.V.

"It's okay." The person said. From what I could tell, it was a boy. He was tall and had a husky voice. He was very cute. He had curly brown hair and green eyes.

I didn't realize that I was completely staring at him until he spoke. "What's your name?"

"Codi." I said, my voice a little shaky. He laughed a little. I started to get embarrassed again.

"Cute name. I really like it.

"Is that sarcasm?" I said very quickly. A little angry as well.

"No, not at all. It's just that when I've been to America, most guys have the name Cody. It's not a common girl's name."

I looked down at my shoes. Well, this was absolutely embarrassing. An extremely cute boy is standing in front of me, talking to me, and now telling me that I have a guy's name. I never expected this to happen.

 Kayla wandered off to go get us some drinks. It would probably be best if I go find her so I don't make a big fool out of myself.

"Well, my name is spelt with an "i" instead of a "y". It was nice meeting you. Now, if you'll excuse me, I should go find my friend." I said, sounding a little rude. Eh, but who cares. He practically made fun of me.

I turned on my heels and started walking. "No wait!" The boy called out..

I turned around and started walking faster. Suddenly, I ran into a waiter. He had drinks on a plater and they went everywhere, including on my dress.

"I'm so so sorry. I wasn't [aying attention and..."

"Shut up!" The waiter screamed. "Just clean it up."

"Hey! Don't talk to her like that." The boy yelled.

"Well she made the mess, she can clean it up."

"I believe that's your job buddy. C'mon Codi." The boy said, and helped me up. Everyone was staring at us. We walked to the bathrooms, and he cleared all of the men out of the men;s restroom. The restrooms were dark as well. It had a little bit of light but it didn't really help.

The boy sat me down on the sink. He grabbed paper towls and began dabbing my dress. My head started to hurt.

This was quite embarrassing. Here I am sitting on a bathroom sink with a killer headache and with alcohol all over my dress. It was very nice of this boy to clean it up for me.

He began finishing up and helped me down off the sink. "You're beautiful. Did you know that?" The boy said, brushing a piece of hair out of my face.

"It's not something I hear a lot."

"Well you're beautiful. Don't let anyone tell you different." He said placing both hands on each saide of my cheek and tilting my head up. His lips were inches from mine. He began moving closer. I could feel his breath.

"Kiss me." I whispered quietly. And right when he was about to, the door opened.

"Hey mate! Have you seen the other lads?" The boy at the door asked.

"Not now Niall."

Woah!! Niall? This doesn't mean he's Niall Horan? Other people have the name Niall.

"Sorry."

"Wait!"  I called out. Niall came back.

"Yes?"

"You're Niall Horan?" I asked.

"Yes I am. Please don't scream." I laughed a little.

"I wasn't planning on it. It's nice to meet you." I said, sticking my hand out.

"Pleasure is all mine." He said, shaking my hand. I turned around and looked at the other boy.

"I'm Harry."
