Previously in chapter 28:

Niall Horan: U still awake?

She probably wasn't, since she almost fell asleep during her piggyback ride. But then she read the message and seconds later she responded.

Olivia Crawford: Yeah

I looked at the three people next to me. They all seemed to be asleep.

Niall Horan: Wanna take a midnight walk with me?

I could see she read the message, but she didn't reply. At first I thought she didn't want to but then I heard someone nearby pulling down the zipper of a tent.

"Niall!" Olivia hissed from the outside.

"Coming." I hissed back.

Now all I have to do is crawl out from a tent without waking anyone up.   

-------------------------------------

For a second I thought Savannah woke up when I began shifting around, but she just turned around and cuddled up to Zara in her sleep. I unzipped the tent and laid my eyes on Olivia.

"You couldn't sleep either?" I asked.

"Almost impossible when Vicky is snoring." She muttered and crossed her arms to keep warm. "You?"

"What do you think?"

She nodded. "Insomnia."

"I thought you'd pass out as soon as you went inside." I told her as we began walking.

"I thought so too. I'm tired but apparently not that tired."

"I guess your insomnia isn't as bad as mine then." I said with a laugh. "Or is it something else that keeps you up at night?"

She looked away.

"Are you happy?" She asked after a while.

"You know I'm not." I replied, trying to make eye contact with her.

"I meant with Savannah." She said, glancing at me for a moment.

"Oh." I said. "Well... I guess. It was your idea that I should be with her in the first place."

"I know, I just... now I understand why it bothered you so much when I was with Marcus. I can't escape the fact that you were my first love, so I guess it kind of bothers me too."

I raised my eyebrows a bit.

"It doesn't bother me anymore." I said.

She rolled her eyes.

"Of course not. We're not together."

I couldn't help but smile.

"You don't seem so sad about it."

"I am. I love him, but it's better this way."

We walked in silence for a while and I looked around us. All I saw were tents and people still up and drinking. Above us were thousands of stars and the chilly breeze embraced me. I stuck my hands into the pockets of my shorts and glanced down at Olivia. She was wearing sweatpants and a hoodie, yet she looked cold. But she's always cold so it wasn't anything new.
