Nicole's POV
I woke up on the couch in my living room. I grabbed my phone that was lying on the coffee table in front of me. It was nearly 5:30 already. How long was I sleeping for? Truthfully, I don't even rememeber falling alseep. All I remember is leaving Harry's flat at around 11:30. When I got back to my place I started crying again. I'm assuming I fell asleep sometime after that.
I haven't showered yet, and I felt gross, like I needed to wash off the guilt of what I did last night. I grabbed a towel and headed off to the bathroom. I stripped out of my clothes and got in, letting the hot water splash against my bare skin. My mind wandered to last night. I have images of me and Lou stuck in my my head. I thought about how perfectly our lips fit together, how passionate the kisses were, how when he touched me a tingling sensation traveled through out my whole body. How could something that seemed so right at the time, turn out to be so wrong? How could someone I thought I knew so well, turn out seeming like a complete stranger...?
Was he thinking about my feelings at all? Or for that matter, was he thinking about his new "girlfriend's" feelings at all? Surely if he wasn't thinking about me he would be considering how she would feel if she found out what had happened. This is what I didn't fully understand, Louis has always been a faithful boyfriend to any girl he has ever gone out with. So why now, did he all of a sudden decide to be unfaithful not only to his best friend, but also to his new girl friend? It just didn't seem right to me. I could feel tears starting to build up in my eyes. I didn't bother fighting the urge to cry anymore. I was alone in the shower, it's not like anyone would hear me. The tears continued to stream down my face during the remainding time of my shower. I turned the water off and pushed the shower curtain aside, only to be hit by the freezing air. I quickly wrapped the towl around my wet body, and walked into the living room.
I heard my phone vibrating against the hard surface of the coffee table. I grabbed it only to see Harry's face lighting up on the screen. I answered it:
"Hi haz." I said waiting for a response.
"NICOLE!!!!!!!!" I heard 4 voices shout into the phone. I couldn't keep the phone close to my ear if all four of them were going to be on the phone, too loud haha. I put it on speaker and replied to them.
"Hi boys! What's up?" I said, letting out a chuckle.
"We're at Harry's place right now, but we're coming over at 7, okay? We figured you could use a laugh tonight, and we are the right men for the job!" said Liam excitedly.
"We're having a propper, much needed sleepover just us 5!" Harry and Zayn shouted, you could hear the entusiasm in their voices.
"And we're bringing the food, so you don't need to cook!" Niall said proudly. I couldn't help but smile. Meeting these boys was the best thing that ever happened to me. It's nice having people around who truly care about you.
"Thanks Niall, that's very thoughtful of you! and i'm not sure how much fun I'll be tonight, but as long as you boys are with me I'll be fine!" I said meaning every word I spoke. If anyone could cheer me up right now it was them.
"Be prepared for a fun night! Oh and be in your pjs when we get there! WE LOVE YOU NICKI!" they all screamed in unison. They hung up before I could respond.
I looked at the clock, it was already 6:30, and I was still in my towel. I walked to my bedroom and rummaged through my drawers until I found some pajamas I wanted to wear. I decided on my purple LOVE PINK sweat pants and a baggy off- the shoulder t-shirt, both items I got from Victoria's Secret. My hair was still dripping wet, so I blowed dried it a little, before throwing it up into a messy bun. I didn't bother putting on makeup, I didn't have anyone to impress. I looked in the mirror, pleased with how I looked, for once. I grabbed 4 blankets and 4 pillows and traipsed out into the living room. I put the pillows and blankets down on the floor. The door bell rang, and I glanced at the clock. It was only 6:45. I thought the boys said they were coming at 7? Hm, they must be early. I walked over and opened the door, a smile on my face, expecting to see Niall, Harry, Zayn, and Liam, but I was sadly mistaken.
