"So what did you want to talk about?" she asks shutting the door. Instantly I grew nervous. I had thought about it for a long time, I was going to tell her I'm dead. I know there is a possibility that she will freak out and do something weird. I know I've only known her for a few weeks but I was falling for her. Hard.

"Oh, uh, it's nothing. Not important." I say rocking back and forth before hugging her. I decided not to tell her. "See you later Addie." I say using a nickname I came up with. Before I walk out she starts talking.

"Wait what did you call me?" she asks smiling.

"Oh, uhm, I called you Adelaide." I say nervously rubbing the back of my neck.

"No you called me Addie." she says walking closer to me.

"Did I? I don't think did." I say shutting the door and stepping back in.

"Yes, you did. You said," she pauses, "Oh, uh, it's nothing. Not important. See you later Addie." she walks closer, using a deep voice. "and then you walked up to me and very awkwardly hugged me. If you are going to hug me at least do it right." she laughs as she wraps her arms around my waist. Man, I love her laugh. I wrap my arms around her neck and we stay like that. It seems like hours before I pull away. I almost kiss her, but don't and whisper, "I got to go." I leave her room and walk downstairs.

"Leaving so soon Luke?" her dad asks.

"Uh, yes yes sir." I say running past him. I walk to the basement and get tackled with questions.

"Where were you?" Michael asks.

"Talking to Addie." I say using the nickname I gave her.

"You gave her a nickname. Mate, it was a bad idea to go to the dinner and even worse to hang out with her after the dinner." Calum says.

"I didn't hang out with her." I argue.

"You were gone two hours Luke." Ashton mutters before leaving.

"Look, I didn't tell her anything!" I scream going to my 'room'. The next day I did everything to avoid the guys. I'm currently sitting on Adelaide's floor with her playing cards.

"They are slowly beginning to hate me." I say putting my card down.

"I don't think they hare you Luke." she says placing hers.

"Oh, yeah well how about whenever I walk by one of them they give me the death glare." I say putting all my cards down and standing up. She follows my actions and grabs my hand.

"Hey, look at me." she says putting a hand on my neck to move my head to face her. "They don't hate you. They are probably upset for whatever reason. They'll get over it." I so badly want to kiss her so I go for it.

"Screw it." I whisper before smashing my lips to hers. She hesitates before kissing back. We kiss for a few minutes before she pulls away.

"What was that for." she giggles.

"I kinda, sorta wanted to do that for the past week." I says smiling.

"Well, I kinda, sorta wanted to do that too." she smiles back.

"One thing, the guys, never find out." I say pulling her into a hug.
