One Thing

Chapter 5

I walk home slowly and hot tears continue ito fall down my cheeks. About a block from the flat I stop walking and brush tears from my face. It starts drizzling and I sit down on the front steps, staring into the gray mist. I feel someone watching me and turn my head to my left and I see Harry standing alone about twenty feet away.

"Harry please ." I say softly my eyes stinging again. He walks towards me and looks me in the eyes.

"Jacqueline, I'm in love with you. And I know you don't love me but I'll get over it." He whispers. I slide over giving him room to sit. He relaxes and sits down. I rest my head on his shoulder and he smiles at me.

"We're so messed up." I say.

"Very true." He starts to play with my hair.

"Harry I'm cold again." I complain. He takes off his soaking wet jacket and wraps it around both of us. Surprisingly it makes a difference.

"Harry I'm sorry." I whisper.

"I know. I just... hope you'll give me a chance." He says solemnly.

"I don't know Harry."

'HARRY'S POV'

(This is in a flat after five hours on the bus)

I listen to the water drumming down as I satnd outside the bath room. Jac is taking a shower and I need one. I'm shivering and have goose bumps all over my arms. I can't forget her lips against mine. And her small waist that I held as we kissed. "Hurry up." I yell through the door. The water stops. "You decent?" I ask.

"Just one second there we go. Come in Harry." She says. Jacqueline has a pink towel wrapped around her just covering her butt. Her wet hair is falling in her face and she smiles.

"Showers all yours" she says as she slips gracefully by me into the hall. I step farther into the steaming bathroom and take a slow deep breath, it smells like coconuts. I strip down turn the water on, its hot and feels good. I let it pour over me.

After my long hot shower I step into the hall only a towel wrapped on my waist. "Louis where are you?"

"In the living room." The flat had three bedrooms a bathroom and a a living room kitchen thing. I walk into the room.

"What are we doing tonight" I see all the boys spread around in front of the television.

"Watching nightmare on elm street. Its that ok?" Says Louis. I nod my head. I'm really not a fan of horror movies but I decide its ok. I walk to the room Louis and I are sharing. I put on a lose pair of boxers and walk back into the room. I see Jac and she smiles pattingthe seat next to her. One the other side of her is Louis her head on his shoulder, between his shoulder and neck. Like it was meant to be there. I sit next to her and we start the movie.

'JACQUELINE'S POV'

About half way into the movie I feel Harry trembling beside me. Just as someone is pulled through the bed and killed he shrieks and turns it off. All the boys are shaking except me. Niall has his face hidden in a bowl of popcorn.

"Is this your first time seeing this movie?" I ask them. They all nod their heads facing me. I look at the clock and I see its midnight.

"Well I'm going to bed goodnight guys." I say as I stand up. I hear foot steps behind me walking to their rooms. I open my door and slip into bed.

*

About thrirty minutes later I hear a light tapping at my door. I'm half asleep and don't notice it at first.

"Who is it?" I mumble.

"Jac its Louis, I couldn't sleep do u mind if I sleep with you?"

"Ummm I'm going to act like that was a normal question. Sure Lou." I hear the door open and his feet walking across the room. He sits on the edge of the bed and lays down. I hear his breathing it sound like he's nervous. With the bed being small we're touching and he curls his body around mine in a cresent shape. In about ten minutes I hear another knock on the door.

"Who is it?" I ask.

"Its Harry can I come in?"

"Are you naked?"

"Maybe." He whispers.

"Put some clothes on then sure." I hear foot stepswalking down the short hallway. Then there back. I hear the door open and I feel as he sits down on the bed laying in front of me. His face was only inches from my face. I smile in the darkness to him. Just as Louis's breathing evens out there is another knock at the door.

"Who is it?" I ask. Its about one now and I'm getting irritated.

"Its Liam."

"And Niall." They both say.

"Get in here then." I hear them pad across the carpet to my bed and Liam lays behind Harry and Niall lays across the bottom of the bed. "Where's Zayn?" I ask.

"Down here." I hear him whisper. I let out a small shriek.

"When did you get there?" I ask.

"Awhile ago." I roll my eyes and lay back down. I've never had five boys in my room before. But I relax soon enough. I fall asleep.

*

I wake up and hear Harry mumbling to himself and shaking. "Harry, Harry?" I whisper sharply. He jerks awake and grabs my arms tightly. "Harry! That hurts." He lets go instantly.

"Sorry, love. I was having a horrid dream."

"Oh Harry its ok. Relax." He looks at me and touched my cheek lightly like a butterfly skimming silently over my face. "Thanks love" he whispers, I smile and almost laugh out loud because Liam is on top of Hary clinging to him. I roll over and fall asleep again. Only to be woken up whys feels like moment later by Louis lightly tapping my back.

"Jacqueline?" I don't open my eyes and take a deep breath.

"Mhmmmm?" I say thick with sleep.

"What do you mean?" I ask. That's when I notice I'm hugging him around he waist.

"Oh sorry Lou." I whisper. I pull my hands from his waist.

"Oh I didn't mind." He says. He reaches for my arms and starts running his hands up and down them. Light is just peeking through the curtains, I can see his face now he has a small smile on his face. He leans in closer. "I love you Jacqueline Thomas." He says. Then he's kissing me long and slow. His tonuge exploring my lips. And mine exploring his.

"I love you too Louis Tomlinson."
