A few days after being back home, Niall is back at Sliced, tired, and Harry is on way to ask him something important. Well, important to Harry. This should be a surprise and brighten Niall's day. Niall stayed up all night trying to fix the front door, since the hinges broke they couldn't freeze the inside of the house.

Yawning just as Harry opens the door, powerdry snow locked in his hair and shoulders, he smiles at Niall and Niall smiles when he see's Harry. "Hey, babe." Niall greets. "Hey. Take this." Harry hands Niall his phone and Niall takes it, seeing that it's on the camera. "Press record." Harry orders and runs out the door. Niall starts recording and aims it so it can see Harry. Harry pulls out a can of washable red paint and starts spray painting his question on the window walls of the Pizza parlor. Niall watches in shock that he's graffiting the shop, but also amused that he's doing it for Niall.

'Will'

'You'

'Go

Niall turns the camera to himself and makes a weird face before turning it back to Harry.

'To

'Our'

'Cabin'

'With'

'Me?'

Niall reads the shittey letters since Harry can't 'write' well backwards. Harry runs inside and takes the phone from Niall, pointing it at him. "For the holiday?" Niall asks. "And, up in the mountains?"

"Yeah." Harry smiles, looking over his phone and at Niall. "I don't know, I already left for my foot AND the camping trip. Jay needs help and I need the money." Harry sighs, not having thought of this. He stops recording and shoves his phone into his pocket. "Jay's cool, just ask her and she'll let you." Harry argues, but he just doesn't get it. When I don't answer him, he starts yelling. "JAY!!" I widen my eyes and whisper, asking him what he's doing but he ignores me and calls for Jay again.

Jay finally shows up and I cover my face with my heads, still facing Harry as he embarrasses me in front of my boss. Even though she's a cool boss, I still need to be professional. And this, is not.

"Can Niall have the holiday?" Harry asks for me the question I was never going to ask her initially. "Niall, are you serious?" I can feel Jay's eyes burning holes into the back of my head. I rub my hands over my face as I let them drop, putting on a fake grin and turning around. "No. I'm not serious." Jay looks from me, to Harry, and back to me. "I need to speak with you before you leave."

falling face first into my bed, I let out a groan---which turns into a scream. Only a few minutes later does Harry keep his promise about coming over later and bursts through the front door, running up to steps until he can jump onto me. "Hey babe." Harry smiles, kissing whatever skin is nearest to him on my head/neck. "So?" He asks, wrapping his arms around my torso. "I got fired."

"Well, I, uh, sort of meant about the cabin but...I'm sorry, Niall. I'll go back to Jay and tell her it was my fault and not to fire you--"

"No, don't." I sigh, turning around from under Harry and wrap my arms loosely around his neck, looking past him and at the ceiling. " wanna go to the cabin with you." I mix my words into my breath. "I'm sorry, Niall. I was really excited and was--am--being selfish. I'll find you another job. Promise me you won't look for a job." Harry's serious, and I won't argue with him. "Promise." Harry holds out his pinkie. I lock my pinkie with his, and he smiles, bending down and planting his lips on mine for a lingering kiss, wrapping his arms around my waist and smiling into the kiss.

"Are you sure you don't want to come with me?" I ask my Mum, knowing that I haven't been spending a lot of time with her and that we miss each other. "Niall, I'm sure. I have Frank. Go to the cabins with Harry, and don't think about me for one second." Mum puts her hands on both my shoulders. I sigh of defeat. "Fine." I sing. "Good. Now go. I'll tell Frank you said hi." Mum pats my cheek before shoving me to the door so I can get into Harry's car that's been waiting for me a few minutes.
