Mistake or Fate? (Book 1) *BEING EDITED*

Chapter 23 - Cuddling Nightmares

(Liam's P.O.V.) 

Seriously, sometimes I think these guys are children. 

"What is wrong with you guys?" I said looking at them. 

"Sydney started it!" Harry protested. 

"I don't care who started it!" I said. Oh god I'm starting to sound like my parents. "It's alright, just go change so we can get our clothes dried." The boys listened and went to change. They handed me their sopping wet clothes and I went to the bathroom to throw them in the dryer. The girls then came out with their clothes and threw them in. Sydney turned the dryer on and then we all filed into the living room. 

"Alright well we just wanted to say night. So night." Darrian said. 

"Night" we all said, and they left to go back to Sydney's room. We decided to just sleep in the same places we did last night.

I went upstairs with Zayn and we turned our separate ways down the hallway. I climbed into the bed and slowly drifted off to sleep, until I heard a scream from downstairs.

(Paige's P.O.V.)

"Guys are you awake?" I whispered. 

"Yes" they both said. 

"Wanna go see if the boys are still up?" I asked.

"Yeah sure." They said. We climbed out of bed and went out into the hallway. First we went to Niall because he was the closest. Sydney went in first because...........well yeah. 

"Niall, you still awake?" she whispered.

"Yeah." he said. 

"Ok well, I have an idea, but I wanna see if Lou and Harry are awake first so come on." she said.

"Alright." he said getting out of bed. 

"Lou, Harry, you still awake?" Darrian asked.

"Yeah." they both said. 

"Mind if we come join you on the floor?" Syd said.

"Of course not!" Harry said smiling. 

"Ok. I'll go upstairs and see if Zayn and Liam want to come down." She went upstairs only to come down a few minutes later by herself.

"They asleep?" I said. She just nodded. 

"I'll be right back." She said and went off somewhere. She came back with an air mattress and put it on the floor in between the couches. She Laid down and motioned for Niall to come join her. I went and laid down next to Lou, and Darrian next Harry. It was perfect. Lou wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer. I just smiled and let him do it. Lou started humming 'Something About the Way You Look Tonight' and the other boys joined in. I slowly drifted off to sleep to the sound of his humming. That is until I heard screaming.

(Darrian's P.O.V.)

Harry wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close and whispered in my ear.

"Can you really not sleep, or is this just an excuse to come cuddle?" I turned around to see him smiling. 

"Both" I whispered back. He just smiled and I turned back around and Harry kissed the top of my head. I smiled.

"What was that for?" I asked.

"For being pretty." he said kissing my head again. I looked at him with a quizzical look. "Just 'cause." he said. 

"I see" I turned around and Lou began to hum 'Something About the Way You Look Tonight' and Harry and Niall joined in. Slowly fell asleep in his arms, but was shortly awakened by a scream.

(Sydney's P.O.V.) 

I laid down on the mattress and motioned for Niall to come join me. I just wanted to cuddle. He came down, and immediately wrapped his arms around me. Lou was humming  'Something About the Way You Look Tonight' and then I heard Niall's humming in my ear. I slowly drifted off to dreamland, but it was only short lived, for I had a nightmare about David.

(Sydney's Dream)

I was alone in our hotel room in L.A. when there was a knock on the door. I got up thinking it was one of the boys, or the girls. However, when I got to the door it was neither. 

"What do you want David." I said not opening the door. 

"I just wanna talk. Please let me in." he said.

"Why should I?" I said. 

"Because I know you want answers, and that's what I'm here to give you." He said. I took a deep breathe and opened the door. At first he looked surprised, but then he just came up and hugged me. 

"What do you think you're doing get the fuck off me." I said, but he wasn't listening. He pulled away for a minute, but then he kissed me. Then I saw myself in the hotel in the movie we watched. I was the girl that died. I was running in the basement of the hotel because I was being chased. Except instead of being chased by the ghost, I was being chased by David. I was banging on the door screaming, but I couldn't get out. 

(Sydney's P.O.V.)

At that point I shot up screaming.

"AHHHHHHHH!" I said. Everyone immediately woke up. Darrian fell on the floor.

"Oww" she said.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!" Harry said. 

"David........hotel...............basement...........screaming." I managed to get out.

"No shit there was screaming." Harry muttered under his breathe. I started shaking.

"Oh love you're shaking come here." Niall said pulling me into a hug. Just then Liam and Zayn came running down the stairs.

"WHAT IS IT? WHAT HAPPENED? IS THERE A BURGLAR?" Liam said trying to catch his breathe. 

"No, I think Syd just had a nightmare. It's ok go back to sleep." Paige said. 

"Wait, what are you guys doing out here anyway?" Zayn asked. 

"We couldn't sleep so we came out here and they couldn't sleep either. Syd went up to see if you wanted to join us, but you two were dead asleep." Darrian explained. I was still shaken up from the dream so I couldn't answer. 

"Ok, well just go back to sleep and we'll talk about it in the morning." Liam said, and him and Zayn trekked back upstairs. I was still trembling and I couldn't get it out of my head. It just kept replaying. It got to the point where I just started crying. 

"Wait, who's David?" Harry said.

"Umm........he's no one." D came up with quickly.......a bit to quickly.

"Well he's obviously not no one." Niall said looking suspiciously at D. 

"Well it's not up to me if you guys want to know you have to ask Syd, and I don't think you are going to get anything out of her tonight." D said. Everyone just turned to me and I guess they just realized that I was crying.

"Don't cry love it'll be ok. It was just a dream." Niall said. He hugged me tighter and started to rock me back and forth. I looked up at him and he whiped the tears away, and I stopped crying. We all just sat there in silence for a minute, everyone staring at me. I had calmed down and felt better.

"Alright, I think I'm good." I said.

"You sure?" Niall asked and I nodded laying back down. Niall layed back down beside me and pulled me in really close, then he whispered in my ear.

"It's okay, I'll protect you." I closed my eyes and smiled. I slowly drifted back to sleep and slept throught entire night without anymore nightmares.
