Despite the fact I was absolutely shattered, I had so much difficulty in getting to sleep. The only thing that was going through my head was the fact that me and Charlie almost kissed. I couldn't escape it.

I felt my cheeks turn a deep shade of red as I thought back to the event and couldn't help but smile at the idea, though it wasn't long until my smile turned into a frown and my rosy cheeks were damp from the stray tears that now rolled down my face. The once happy memory turned into a memory full of dread and anxiety.

What was I thinking?

There is no doubt that Charlie was going to kiss me but it clearly meant nothing, just a spur of the moment thing. He's only just really ended things with Danielle. How could I think he actually wanted to kiss me.

I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head as I felt the headache emerge from the constant thoughts going around in my head.

I'd finished my hot chocolate and hoped that this would make me feel a bit more sleepy but it didn't.

Since I was laying down, facing away from the bedroom door, I wasn't aware who walked in until they spoke up.

"Taya, are you awake?" I heard Trevor ask as he lifted the sheets for him to get into bed as well.

I debated whether or not to speak up and eventually decided on acting like I was asleep. I couldn't let Trevor see that I had been crying because he'd just ask questions. Not only that but it would prove him right, considering I was crying over Charlie.

I felt Trevor lay down next to me to go to sleep and so I decided on trying to sleep as well since I couldn't stay awake any longer in case he realised. Soon I was in a deep slumber.

I was peacefully awoken by the sun that shone in my face as it peeked through the slight gap in the curtain of our bedroom window. I rolled over, stretching my arms, to find yet again an empty space next to me in our bed.

How does he get up so easily in the mornings?

As I hopped out of bed, I took one glance in the mirror to see that I was wearing my Bring Me The Horizon band tee along with my bumble bee shorts. My efforts in clothing clearly represented my attitude towards waking up right now.

I didn't bother in changing my clothes, and instead headed downstairs, throwing my hair into a messy bun.

"Morning, sleepy head" Gabe spoke as I walked into the front room where the rest of the boys sat.

"Morning guys" I replied sleepily as I took a seat in between Charlie and Liam.

They carried on their conversation as I ignored the smirks that Sean was shooting my way. Since I was in between Liam and Charlie on the sofa, I was sat extremely close to either boy. Though I didn't realise the exact distance until I felt Charlie lightly tap my arm, causing me to look at him which is when I discovered the roughly ten centimetre gap between each of our faces.

"Can I talk to you?" Charlie quietly whispered into my ear, sending shivers down my spine which I'm sure he noticed as he smirked slightly.

I adjusted the bun on top of my head as I replied "Can I quickly shower first because I feel like a slob and I look like trash.." I laughed as I answered back still making sure no one could hear our conversation.

"Yeah, that's fine. But just so you know, you look as beautiful as usual..." he admitted as a blush covered his cheeks, causing him to look away quickly before reverting his attention back to me.

I gave him a look as if too say 'really?' and shaking my head before letting out a small laugh.

"Well, thank you but I do look awful... I'll be about 20 minutes" I told him as I stood up from my spot on the couch causing everyone to look at me.
