Liams POV

Haley and I were cuddled up on the couch together watching a random movie she picked out. Alicia and Niall were on the other couch but both of them were passed out asleep.

"They're out cold." Haley said.

"Yeah, they were up all night. Two crazies wouldn't stop giggling." We weren't even paying attention the the movie anymore, both of our eyes were foused on the lovely couple asleep on the couch.

"It's something special, that's for sure." Haley said sighing.

"It is, isn't it?"

"They're just two strangers who fell in love with one another." I contuined to watch the two sleep. It was kind of a peaceful thing to watch.

"It's funny isn't it? How it all happened so fast with them two?" I said focusing my attention on Haley. She looked at me and smiled. I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her forehead.

"Can I ask you something?" She said looking at me again.

"Sure, what is it love?"

"What are we?" I didn't quite understand the question.

"Huh?"

"Are we dating or just friends?" How could she ask this? Does she not know I like her?

"We're friends who like each other." I answered honestly.

"Okay." She seemed a bit dissapointed.

"What's the matter?"

"Nothing." She smiled and kissed my cheek. We turned our attention back to the movie.

I do wish I could show her how much I like her. I wish I could take her out to a nice dinner without paps making it a big deal and us ending up in the papers. I do wish I was strong like Niall and show her off to the world. Truth is, i'm not so sure I am. I really like Haley, but I can't let her slip away like everyone else has. Keeping her away from media is the best way to go. From all the hurt i've gained from losing the ones i've cared about, I didn't want it to happen again.

She makes me a better person all together, I just wish I could tell her that. Despite the fact we have to hide, she's still here. She asks me about my family, carrer, and myself. She cares about me more than I ever could picture someone would. Her pureness has rubbed off on me in a way I can't even start to explain. Even though we aren't the 'fairytale love story' we still have this story that's something different. It's only been a month, yet it feels so right just laying here with her watching movies all day long. She's going to be the one I marry one day, i'm almost sure about that.

Alicia's POV

Haley and I said our goodbyes to Niall's family before leaving to head to the airport. I sat in the passenger side while Niall drove. Liam and Haley were in the back.

"I don't want you to leave." Niall whinned yet again. He has been saying that all since yesterday and all this morning.

"I don't want to leave either, but we have school Monday."

"Fuck school, you can just tour with us."

"Niall." I rolled my eyes and looked in the rearview mirror to Haley and Liam. They were cuddled up and looking at Liam's phone.

"Did you two have fun?" I said. Haleys smiling face shoot up at me.

"Yes." Her and Liam were smiling like crazy.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing." Liam said laughing still.

"Oh, the newly couple has new secrets." Niall said.

"Guess we'll have to make our own secrets now babe."

"You got it." He kissed my hand and parked the car. He walked around to let me out.

"After you my love." He held his hand out and all four of us grabbed our bags and headed for the airport. We we stood there waiting on our flight to be called, Niall held me close not saying a word. I embraced him against me and savored every moment knowing I wouldn't see him for months at the most. They called our flight and Haley said goodbye to Liam in a simple hug. Niall kissed me goodbye.

"We've got to stop saying goodbyes like this." I said with a hint of sadness.

"Agreed. One day baby." He gave me a small kiss and Haley and I walked towards the plane.
