We arrive at Harry's house within minuets. Winter and I have had a lot going on since last nite and this morning. Its about noon right now, and they are already practicing, with the garage open.

"HEY!!" I scream over the music, directing my "hey" to Niall.

Niall stops playing the guitar and looks at me, and smiles."Hold it, Hold it!" He looks back to the boys, and waves his arms over his head.

They all stop with a sigh of frustration until they see us and rush over to our sides. Niall is the first to arrive at my side and Lou is the first to arrive at Winter's.

As Niall wraps his arm around my shoulders, he gives me a small peck on the cheek and whispers 'hey' into my ear. We walk up the driveway and we take our normal seats as the boys pick up their instruments and start playing again.

The song doesn't sound familiar until they get to the chorus.

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there

Become so tired, so Much more aware, I'm becoming this, all I want to do is be more like me and be less like you .

I start to jam out once I realize that its "Numb" by Linkin Park. Once they finish, I'm still rocking out and they stare at me like I'm crazy until I finally realize they they had stopped.

I look up at them and they start laughing as my face flushes into a bright red color, out of embarrassment.

Niall is still giggling as he walks over to me, and tries to hug me, but I punch his arm playfully, but he wraps me into a tight hug, not affected that in trying to push him off. I can still feel his chest bouncing as he giggles at how mad I am.

I cross my arms in anger as I give up trying to push Niall off of me. He kisses the top of my head and looks down at me, while everyone has now taken a seat or on the ground, still laughing. "Oh, C'mon, you know you can't dance, just admit it! Red's shouldn't be allowed to dance...... especially to Linkin Park."

He giggles at me again, and hugs me. I give up, and laugh at myself as well, considering that I really can't dance, never have, never will.

"See, there you go, my favorite smile, on my favorite girl." He looks at me for a second before releasing me from the embrace that he held me in for the longest time. As he walks towards the other boys, to do one more song before we can chill, I walk over to Winter who is practically drooling, looking at Lou.

wow, she must really like this boy to always be staring at him all the time  I think to myself. Just as I sit down by winter, Lou calls her over, for heaven knows what and she scurries over to his side and he pulls her into a hug, and puts his guitar over her head, both of them fitting in the small strap.

They start to play another song, not Linkin Park, for obvious reasons, and I watch as Louis casually rests his chin on Winter's head as he plays his guitar, and her watching how his fingers move in perfect harmony. She has told me that she has always wanted to learn, yet when a perfectly good teacher is in the same guitar strap as her, she still doesn't see it.

As I get lost in my own sexy imagination, I don't notice when Niall comes and sits by me, in the chair that Winter had occupied before him. Only then, did I snap back into reality and realize that practice is over, and we can chill for an hour, or so.

I lean against Niall, and he rests his head on top of mine.

"How was it?" I ask, still looking off towards Winter and Lou, currently remaining in the strap.

"How was what? Practice? same as always, but a little funnier this time around." He says back to me, slightly shifting his head on top of mine, that was I had lay-ed onto his shoulder.

 I Laugh at how stupid we may look to the others, but right now, I don't care. I'm here, in his arms, well an awkward head hug, but still, were close!

We never really talked for a solid half hour, we just sat there making humming sounds, like a competition, and I think I may have won a lot of them. We also listened to Lou and Winter strumming the guitar every now and then.

We were so peaceful, not much noise, everything seemed to fade out as I had slowly started to fall asleep on Niall's Shoulder. 

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH." Winter screeches at the top of her lungs, making a chain reaction from all of us, starting with NIall and I. 

I pop ed my head up as fast as I could, making Niall hit his head on mine, and Niall falling onto the ground before realizing that he was hurt or that winter had screamed. After that, Louis had covered his ears, making a whale sound, almost, in agony of the scream, and falling backwards, making Winter come down with him, (they were still in the guitar strap together). Zayn and Liam then came rushing out of their seats by  the garage door and as Liam had fallen onto the ground, Zayn had tripped over him, not realizing that Liam had been on the floor. Then, after that, Harry came rushing outside to see what all the commotion was, with his burnt cupcakes, and the fire alarm going off. Harry's mum was also behind him, wanting to know as well what had happened.

Winter struggled to get out of the strap with Louis still crammed inside of it, quite in a hurry as well. Her hands were blue... wait.... HER HANDS WERE BLUE!! Where is the ice, i know she made it, why else would her hands be blue?!?! I look up, and behind me, seeing where the ice is, and.... what I think she had screamed for.... My wings.

Everyone was concentrated on Winter after her scene, before anyone could see what I was doing, Niall was still rubbing his head after I hit him, not paying attention to anything, I pulled my wings back, and started to try and defrost the ice as fast as I could. 

Winter is finally up and out of the strap, and sees me, turned around, defrosting the ice, with the entire back side of my shirt ripped. She runs over to me and shows me the 'time' but really just giving me a worried expression as she handed me my coat.

By now, everyone is looking at us, My wings not exposed, and the ice defrosted. I hear a slight chuckle escape from Winter's mouth, and one comes out of mine seconds later.

"so, so, sorry guys." Winter starts, not knowing what to say.

I look up at her, and see that she is struggling, so I take over as I stand up and continue her sentence, "...that she had screamed. Winter, here, was just afraid of a spider that she had seen, so she had screamed to warn everyone," Harry and his mum had gone inside at this point and only the people in the garage were listening, the other three boys just sitting on the floor. "Winter has also told me that we should be going now before we get into deeper trouble that we have already gotten ourselves into."

The boys have now lost interest in what we had to say, so they made their way over to us to tell us our goodbyes and small hugs exchanged as well. 

Niall held his embrace longer then necessary, wanting to whisper something into my ear, "I know you were lying, the other boys may be fooled, but I want to know what happened, I saw one or two things that I want to be explained. Text me." He pulled me out of the embrace, and walked off, not looking back.

Winter and I made our way back to the house, and I made sure that I told her everything that had just happened with Niall's hug to me.
