Your POV: 

The next morning I forgot where I was, waking to the bright light shining through the window, and the smell of bacon wafting through the air. I grabbed my phone of the bedside table and realised that it was noon. 

Forgetting about my knee, I swung out from under the covers on to my feet, and felt the shoot of pain raise up my leg. I looked at myself at the full length mirror hanging on the wall, by the television stand. I looked awful. My hair was sticking out all over the place, my mascara smudged, and a huge dark bruise around both knees. I was a spitting image of a zombie. 

Before any of the boys could witness me in this state, I looked myself in the bathroom, and washed myself down with a cloth, wiping away the makeup from my face, and dabbing at my knees hoping the darkness of the bruises was just due to dirt, but unfortunately not. 

No hairbrushes were in this house, well in this room, and I couldn't just find a lonely comb, so I shoved my hair up into a messy bun. Ok, now I look a little more presentable. 

I had a small limp from the pain, but at least I could pretty much walk again, and headed towards the kitchen where the smell of food, was sticking to my hungry nose. 

At the stove was Connor, sizzling a large amount of bacon.

"Sure, you got enough bacon there" I giggled as I sat at the breakfast bar

"I was actually gonna set some aside for you, seen as the others are out" Connor turned around and smiled

"Aww, thanks"

I immediately scoffed down all the food on the plate. I didn't realise how hungry I was. 

"So, how's things going?" Connor tried breaking the silence after we both had finished our plates of food

"Great, other than yesterdays incident, you?"

"Good thanks. So, you and JC?" He started raising his eyebrows up and down with a smirk on his face. I felt myself blushing

"What about it?" I replied trying to act cool

"You like each other"

Before I could answer the boys walked through the door. As they came in to the kitchen, with Wishbone barking at them, I decided to get up and wash my plate. Who cares if they have a dishwasher, I can't look at them in this state. I look dreadful. 

"Y/N you're awake!" Ricky belted out whilst coming over and squeezing me tightly

"Yeah" I replied not knowing what else to say. I looked up slowly, towards where JC sat with Wishbone. 

His eyes caught mine, and he let out a smile. I had to smile back. 

"You're looking good" Ricky said grabbing my shoulders and smiling down at me

"I agree" JC quietly said in the background

"Seriously?" I gasped

"Yeah, you don't need no make-up, girl."

"Thanks" I half smiled and looked down

"I gotta film for  my video today, wanna help me?" Ricky asked still looking at me

"Sure, but at least let me put on some make-up and change" 

"Cool, I come back to yours and then bring you back here to film?"

"Sounds good to me" I smiled, nervous at the thought of being on his YouTube channel.

I know how it works, with big youtubers, especially when it is a guy with a girl. The fans go crazy, shipping the two people or hating that girl because they potentially could be dating their "perfect" guy. I just hope if I do this, they'll like me.

"Come on then" Ricky said, pulling me by my hand to the garage. I felt JC's gaze whilst being pulled along. 

We took my car, which had been sitting outside their house for a while now, and we managed to get back to my apartment within half an hour. Luckily I live quite close to their house. 

"I'll be down in a bit, make yourself at home. Have a drink or watch TV or something." I offered as I ran upstairs to my bedroom

Today I put on a white crop top, and light pink maxi skirt, hoping to hide my damaged knees. Accessorising it with sandals, a collar necklace, a few bracelets and a ring. I quickly brushed my hair out and put on some simple make-up. I could get away with this outfit today, as the weather was hotter than yesterday. i don't usually wear the dresses and skirts all the time, but its always good for a change. 

"Ready" I huffed breathlessly when I got to the bottom of the stairs

"Looking good" He nodded whilst eyeing me up and down

"Thanks, I wanted to hide my scabby knees" 

He laughed. The journey back, we talked and talked. Just about random things really, as friends do. JC was an avoided subject. Ricky knew that all he could know, there isn't much else to it....yet. 

The journey back to his was a little longer, surprisingly. I thought everyone would be walking in the sun. I'm not used to this crazy traffic, let me rephrase, crazy weekend traffic. It's Sunday! That reminded me back to work tomorrow. Great. 

JC's POV: 

When me and the rest of the boys walked in, I saw her sitting in the kitchen. Her hair tied up, still in the same clothes. She still looked beautiful. Just before I got to the kitchen she had gotten up with a limp and hid  her face from us when washing her plate in the sink. 

I sat on the stool next to where she sat with Wishbone in my arms, my eyes transfixed on what she was doing. Ricky livened her up, and she looked over, her amazing eyes looking at me. Her face so pure, no make-up. She looked so delicate, so....beautiful.

Before I knew it Ricky was pulling her away. I wanted her to stay, to see her face, every minute, every second. 

"She's coming back, don't worry" Connor whispered into my ear, patting me on the shoulder with a big grin on his face

I looked up at him and blushed, not knowing what to reply.

"It's obvious you like her" Connor said, with both Kian and Sam still in the room

"I knew it" Kian belted out pointing at me

Sam laughed with Connor. My cheeks grew hotter, I felt the redness ooze from my cheek.

"Guys, seriously" I sighed

"I'm happy for you man" Kian said whilst coming over patting me on the back 

"Finally, JC has a girlfriend!" Sam exclaimed whilst laughing. I couldn't help but laugh with him

"Have you asked her out on a date yet?" Connor asked, breaking the laughter

"Not yet. I'm kinda nervous. What should I do?" I asked

"The movies, a comedy, or romantic film. Maybe that way, she can cry on your shoulder, and then you end up kissing." Kian giggled

"Alright then. Movies it is." 

"I'd let her choose though" Sam said

I was excited, yet nervous for the right time to ask her. I didn't want to do it in front of all the guys, they'd make fun of me. Watch every move I do. What if I messed up? I shall pull her aside. Be confident and just ask her out. I took a deep breathe out, and thats when Ricky and y/n walked through the door.
