Road Trip

15-Cinderella's Glass Van

"Nooo! We're tired. Let's just go." Jessica begged Harry.

He smirked and shook his curly haired head. "No can do. Niall and I had to suffer through it, now you two have too."

Jessica glared at him.

"Sorry babes." He winked at her and chuckled.

"Don't call me that!" Jessica yelled, her ears turning red. She crossed her arms and huffed in anger.

"Niall please." TJ implored him. "I'm exhausted. I just want to cuddle and go to sleep." TJ pouted.

"I-" Niall looked at Harry helplessly.

"Stay strong, mate." Harry encouraged him.

"Shutup!" TJ hissed at Harry before turning back to Niall, peering up at him from under her lashes.

"Pretty please niall?" She gave him her sweetest smile.

"I, I'm sorry TJ, but I really could use a new pair of kicks." Niall looked down at her apologetically.

TJ stamped her foot in frustration. "Fine!" She grumbled.

Harry high fived Niall as they made their way to the Vans store, the girls trailing behind them.

"This must be heaven." Niall breathed, eyes wide in amazement. Harry simply nodded in agreement. The girls shared a look and rolled their eyes. They sat down on the bench and watched Niall and Harry race around the store, admiring every shoe.

"I swear they're five years old sometimes." Jessica said, watching Harry jump up and down when the employee handed him a pair of shoes.

"More like three year olds!" TJ laughed, pointing at Niall sneaking a lollipop from the jar of candy by the register.

Hearing TJ's laughter, Niall glanced up at her and grinned. "It wasn't me!" He exclaimed, hands up in innocence, the stick of the lollipop hanging between his lips.

The girls burst into a fit of laughter. Niall winked at TJ before walking back to the wall of shoes.

"What a cutie." Jessica said, nudging TJ's shoulder with hers.

"Yeahh," TJ smiled at his back. "He's pretty freaking adorable."

"And he's a sweet heart." Jessica added. "And a nice guy. And he has a great sense of style."

"While I agree with all those things, what are you getting at?" TJ asked, eyeing her warily.

"Nothing." Jessica bit back a smile.

"Tell me."

"He likes you. Like A LOT." Jessica blurted out.

TJ stayed quiet for a moment. She looked down at her scuffed grey converse. She picked at her frayed jean shorts.

"Hello, earth to TJ!" Jessica waved her hand in front of TJ's face.

"What?" TJ mumbled, looking anywhere but at Jessica.

"Well are you gonna say something?"

"What do you want me to say?"

"I dunno! Something, anything!"

"I like him too okay!" TJ finally revealed. "You happy now?"

"I already know that, dummy." Jessica rolled her eyes. "I wanna know what you're gonna do about it."

TJ shrugged her shoulders. Jessica shoved her, almost pushing her off the bench.

"Hey!" TJ yelled. "What was that for?!"
