Sarah's POV

I wake up with a pounding headache and something heavy on me. Without opening my eyes I try to piece together how I got in my bed. I think after Niall apologized to Harry, I was so tired from the crazy day I had, that I just wanted to go to bed. Forcing my eyes open I see Niall's arms and legs draped around me. He is facing me, his lips are partly open and I can hear him breathing softly. I have to pee and I want to see if the power came back, but he's to adorable. I'd have to wake him up to move but I can't bring myself to do that. I try to ignore the fact I have to pee and wait a little for him to wake up.

I begin to trace little patterns on the back of his hand that's wrapped over me. I feel little bumps on his knuckles. Lifting my head slightly to get a better look, I realize it's the hand he hit Harry with. There's a thin slit across two of them and they're a little purple. As I look at the bruised flesh, I feel a twist in my stomach. I turn my head to look at something else. My alarm clock on the side table says it's a little after three- the power is back!

"Yes!" I shout in a hushed tone. I tried not to wake Niall, but despite my effort he began to shift. A small moan escapes as he stretches out across the mattress.

"Morning." He says, his voice is hoarse. "Did the power come back?"

"Yup." I point to the now working alarm clock.

"That isn't the time is it?" He asks.

"No, I haven't changed them yet. I'll have to check the time on my phone and then change them all."

I pick my phone up from the nightstand. The battery is extremely low and I'm grateful the power is back so I can now charge the dying phone. "It's one thirty." I announce the proper time.

I plug my phone into the charger and make my way over to the bathroom. As I stalk across the hall I take a glimpse into Avery's room to quickly check on her. She and Harry are fast asleep on her bed. They look so peaceful all wrapped up in each other. I don't know if this is Avery's way of coping, or if she was so drunk she turned to Harry for comfort. I double check and make she we at least had the common sense to blow out the candles we had lit before we fell asleep. I'm glad to see all the candles we had spread out are all blown out.

I turn towards the bathroom and close the door.I brushed my teeth and washed up before heading back out to room.

I see Niall sitting up right leaning back against the headboard of my bed. His head is tilted back slightly and his eyes a shut.

"I'm going to get some Advil, do you want one?" I ask walking over to his side of the bed.

"Yes please." He mumbles. He's still a bit sleepy. I kiss his warm forehead and pad back to the bathroom. I open the medicine cabinet and take out the small bottle of Advil.

I don't know about Niall but I can't dry swallow pills, so I go over to the kitchen and retrieve a bottles of water for the two of us.

Niall now has on leg that is uncovered by the blanket. I'm guessing it was getting too hot in my room for him. I swallow my pill and get back in my bed, waiting for the Advil to kick in.

"Do you want to charge your phone?" I ask.

"Don't you only have one charger?"

"No I have two in case I lose one." I open the drawer of my night stand and pull out the iPhone charger.
