Diana [Niall Horan]

7

We were finally home, and I was exhausted.

It had been a quiet ride, only because I was on the verge of sleeping and Alex was driving. It was such a long day, and I finally understood how hard it was for Alex to go to work and come home late. Once I had finished taking off my makeup,I changed my clothes. I put on my sweatpants with an oversized t-shirt before crashing into the sofa. The events of the day kept replaying in my head, it was just way too much to handle.

"I'm tired but I don't wanna sleep," Alex said.

I chuckled, "Me neither. How about we watch a movie?"

"Great idea!" She ran over to the stack of movies near the television, and asked, "We have a choice between Pitch Perfect, The Hunger Games, or It."

"I'm torn between Pitch Perfect and The Hunger Games," I said honestly. 

"How about The Hunger Games? We've seen Pitch Perfect way too many times."

"Fine, Hunger Games." I went and got a blanket for both of us to cuddle in while laying down on the couch. When I got back, Alex was sitting on the couch waiting for me to sit down.

We quietly watched the movie and being as tired as I was, I fell into a deep slumber dreaming about Katniss, Gale, and Peeta.

A loud buzzing woke me up, and once again, I realized it was Alex's phone. I looked around, seeing that Alex and I had fell asleep on the couch watching the movie last night. I took Alex's phone and looked at it; it wasn't a phone call, it was a text.

Hey! Do you think you and Diana can come over sometime? That'd be great .x 

I stared at the text, and then saw the caller ID. Harry. 

I felt somebody moving under the blankets, and saw Alex getting up. "Good morning," she said, stretching her arms above her head.

"Good morning. Um, you have a text from..." I said, handing Alex the phone.

"From?" She said, expecting an answer. Once she looked down at her phone, she found her answer, and smiled.

"Oh," she said, thinking, "I guess we would have to wait until next week after Christmas. I have a lot of work this week, editing the interview we had and stuff like that."

"That's fine. Maybe we could go on New Year's Eve? Or something like that." I decided New Year's would be a better choice since Alex was busy.   

"Oh my gosh, I'm getting late to go to work! I need to run." She got up from the couch and ran to the bathroom. Five minutes later, Alex walked out, to her room, with a towel wrapped around her body. I walked to the bathroom and took a shower and brushed my teeth. I got out of the bathroom, and saw that Alex was now eating a bowl of cereal, all dressed up. Wow, she was fast. 

"I need to go, now. See you later, Diana." She smiled and hugged me. 

"See you later," I smiled. Once Alex left, I went to my room and dried my hair, and as I did, I decided to play music. 

I finished drying my hair, and decided I should eat breakfast. I went for the simplest choice and easiest to make -- cereal. With the music still playing, I silently ate my breakfast.

Strolling back to my room, I realized there was nothing to do, and nobody at the flat. Perfect. 

I took out my phone with the music playing on it, and turned the volume a bit low. I started singing into my karaoke machine, as I always did to just sing and goof around.

I knew you were trouble when you walked in,

so shame on me now.

Flew me to places I've never been,

Now I'm lying on the cold, hard ground.

Oh, oh, oh,

trouble, trouble, trouble.

No one was watching, no one was here. Singing was a passion I had, and that was why music became so important to me. I didn't like being open about it -- I didn't think I was that good -- but it was still important to me.

One week later

"Hey, what's up?" Alex asked me, plopping down on the couch. 

"Nothing, but what happened to those New Year's plans? Weren't we going to..." I asked, trailing off. What was I supposed to say? I grab my bottle of water and start drinking from it. 

"Harry and the rest of the boys? Yeah, they're coming over to our place tomorrow. I asked them to come here instead of there," she says and I nearly choke on my water. What?!

"They're... c-coming here?"
