Alex's P.O.V

I wake up to go feed Pebbles after I came out of the bed, I tried to wake Niall up, but he's knocked out.

"Where are you hiding, buddy?" I lift up his little house.. nothing. I get a pencil, that isn't sharpened and shove the hamster bedding around. He's not in here. Where'd he go? He couldn't have gotten out, the cage was locked. I know for sure that I locked his cage last night. I take the little house out and keep scooting the soft hay around. I'm getting a little frustrated because I don't know where he's at. I look for any dents to see if he bit his way through. Nothing.

I let a frustrated groan, slamming the small cage door and I sniffle while I frantically browse around Niall's room.

"What are you doing?" Niall's rough sleepy voice asks me.

"I can't find Pebbles," I feel the lump in my throat grow as I search under his bed. Niall tells me that I have to find it because he doesn't rodents running around in his room and that's where our argument starts. He goes into the bathroom, then comes back to tell me to keep looking and I snap at him. He yells at me, I yell back, he picked up the cage and threw it away, telling me to get over it, then I cried because he went too far.

"How could you?" I give him a disgusted and shocked face, then I leave.

"Get away from me." I say walking ahead of him on the sidewalk on my way to my dorm. I'm fed up with him already and it hasn't even been an hour since we've woken up.

"Alex, stop." I hear his shoes coming closer to me, so I run faster in my house slippers and his pajamas. He put a jumper on and sweatpants, but I only focus on getting away from him. I'm more disappointed at the fact that he just tossed the cage in the garage like that while he shouts at me, telling me that he never did like Pebbles anyway.

I wipe the warm, unwanted tears that fall to my cheeks as I run from him. It's kind of cold out to be dressed in sweatpants and a shirt. I used the drawstrings on his sweatpants, so they wouldn't fall down.

"Alex, stop!" Niall shouts behind me and I run into a park because that's the nearest thing I could possibly run through and lose him. A gust of wind makes me shiver while I run, I'm not tired since I run in one of my classes, but I guess I didn't run fast enough because my shirt is jerked back and I almost fall, but he grabs my waist.

"Let go of me!" I squirm around while my back is touching his chest. This position was okay yesterday, but there's no way in hell that I'm comfortable right now.

"Alex, stop." Niall says behind me and I sink my body down out of his hold, crawling at first to get me back to my feet and run again. I run in a straight line, getting ahead of him, looking straight ahead at the tall trees to give me a little courage to keep going until I reach them.

I didn't even notice the community pool at the park, until I my fuzzy shoe made me slip and go underwater and my shriek whenever I sink. I breathe underwater, which makes me choke repeatedly while I try to swim to the top my body is lifted out of the water from someone, most likely Niall, pulling my hands.

Whenever I lay on the grass, I sit up, choking on the water that filled my throat and made me instantly think of that pool party while I was underwater. I've never been so scared of a swimming pool after the party that was the worst day of my life.

"Get away from me," I scoot away from Niall, still coughing on water. He comes closer to me, patting my back, so I'll stop choking on this disgusting tasting water. My head starts to hurt a little bit while I cough and I can feel my face heat up from coughing so much.

Whenever I'm finished coughing, I get up and continue running while he calls my name, but I ignore him and start to think about how my body is freezing because of the strong wind hitting against my drenched clothes.

I can hear Niall running after my now slow jogging body and I'm still coughing like an idiot because I kept breathing under water, in shock because I didn't know what was about to happen to me.

Niall grabs my wrist, making me turn and he wraps his warm arms around my shaking body. It's cold as hell and I'm soaked in pool water from head to toe. I feel his heart pounding quickly whenever I hug him back.

"I'm sorry." He says, his warm breath fanning over my face and I close my eyes, hoping that he'll do it again.

Instead of responding back to him, I hit his back with my hand he holds his back from me hitting it.

"I guess I deserved that." Niall says chuckling and I keep my eyes, smiling slightly whenever he chuckles and I feel his breath against my face.

"I'm cold." One of those random shivers goes through my body.

"Oh, yeah. Let's go back to my house." Niall says, wrapping his arm around my neck, rubbing my shoulder, trying to keep me warm.

I shake my head no and we walk to his place, so he can get his keys to the car. After changing clothes, Niall cuddles me into his, so I can be warm, the thick sheets covering our bodies. It's odd to think that we're cuddling together at only ten in the morning since our altercation happened early.

"Answer your phone," I gently hit his torso and he groans whenever he moves his arm to the dresser, sliding over the answer option.

"Hello?"

"It depends. Who is this?" I look up at him.

"It's your mom," Niall hands the phone to me and I end the call, not wanting to talk to her.
