****************

Dawn always carries extra clothes with her for caution to help in situations like that. We used to tease her for that, I guess it was coming in handy now. Alice took off her upper and her arms were full of bruises, she went into the bathroom to change and started crying again, we forced her to open up and it took a fifteen minute consoling to calm her down again.
Dawn gave Alice her extra pair of clothes that was a blue jeans and pink sweatshirt. Alice changed into it and the three of us were sitting on the king sized bed of Zayn's king sized guest room. It was 1 a.m. in the morning but none of us was feeling sleepy.
'I'm so sorry, you guys had to disturb your routine because of me,' Alice said.
'Alice, for God's sake, you're saying that for the fourth time today. It's okay, okay?' Dawn said in a soft yet angry voice.
'Okay okay,' said Alice.
'I'm so not sleepy. Remember, Alice? We have to go to Samantha's violin show today.'
'Yeah,' she said.
'Samantha didn't invite me, she only had three passes and you both and Grace wanted to go.'
I nodded and we heard a knock on the door.
Zayn peeked in from outside, 'Can I come in?'
'Yes you can, but that doesn't mean you should,' i said sassily. He gave me a flat look and Alice gave me little push, 'Yes you can come in Zayn, we weren't sleeping.'
Zayn was followed by Aaron and I just chuckled at them both, they were wearing pajamas and I don't know what I found funny about it but I laughed anyways.
'What is so funny?' asked Zayn.
I didn't want to tell them that I was laughing at their pajamas so I just gave my best answer, 'Your face.'
He narrowed his eyes at me, 'That's rude, redhead. I helped you and you tell me my face is funny.'
'Okay I'm sorry,' I said and smiled at him. It was true, he had helped me and steadied me when I had lost my senses. Now that I was thinking back to the situation, I was crying and anxious, and I hugged him. And he comforted me, without him we might have lost Alice. I suddenly felt really grateful of him and said, 'Zayn.'
'Yeah?'
'Thankyou,' I said with all my gratefulness and the admiration I had developed for him.
'Mention not redhead,' he smiled.
He returned back to talking and when he wasn't noticing I took my time to take in his features. His smile was a very contagious one. Right how people complimented me to have, and Samantha of course. His eyes were a light mild blue dreamy colour. I could make a whole list of words that were usable to describe his eyes. His hair were a medium brown colour and looked soft. I could almost reach up my hand to them and feel how soft they were.
Suddenly Dawn elbowed me in my ribs, 'Ow, what are you doing?' I whispered to her.
'Don't be a creep Cheryl. You were staring at him, I caught you before he could,' she whispered back.
'Oh,' i said embarrassed. I felt the heat rush to my cheeks and I blushed but nobody saw that except of Dawn. She wiggled her eyebrows at me and I just rolled my eyes. We continued talking about nothing and Dawn didn't bother me about the staring as I had expected. Dawn, being Dawn was very patient and didn't like to push things to conclusions, which is what I loved about her.
'How about we play something?' suggested Dawn.
'Yeah! Never have I ever?,' I asked.
'Sounds good,' Aaron said. Aaron had come to sit just beside Alice from when he entered the room. I thought they would make a really good couple in the future, they looked cute together.
'Fine with me,' Zayn said.
I clapped and said, 'Let's bring the juice.'
Zayn and I went to get the juice and the cups.
We got to the kitchen and I took out the juice from the fridge while Zayn took out the plastic cups. I placed the juice on the kitchen slab and went over to Zayn.
'Hey redhead, something wrong?'
'No, thankyou Zayn,' I said again.
'Cheryl,' he put his hand on my shoulder, 'It's okay. I don't like you so thankful. Cheryl is good being sassy and savage, at least with me.'
I laughed, 'Nah, sometimes I like to be nice with you too.'
'Do you?' i nodded.
'And by the way, you called me Cheryl again,' I told him.
He laughed and it was a wonderful thing. The sound of his laugh was like how my mom described my dad's to be. Playful, mischievous and it had the ability to make you smile. No, Cheryl, shut up. Get him out of your mind.
'Let's go then, others will be waiting,' I told him. We got the juices and the glasses and went back.
'What took you guys so long?' asked Alice wiggling her eye brows at me.
I rolled my eyes again, and said, 'Shut up Alice, now let's play.'
She laughed and we started playing. We spun the bottle and Alice's turn came first.
'Never have I ever.....' she said and thought for a second, 'been into the death eater.'
All of them took a sip of their juices except of me. Death eater was a roller coaster in an amusement park, which was known to be one of the most thrilling out there. I was very scared of roller coasters, I only had been into one when I was little and when we were mid way it stopped, and I literally thought I would die. Nobody was harmed though, but that put in me a bad fear of roller coasters.
Now for those who are not familiar with this game, a person who has his turn says an act and everyone that has done that has to take a sip of their drink. The one who hasn't has to explain why if it's unusual. And the one who have done it, have to tell their stories.
'You've never been into the death eater?' asked Zayn. Everyone else knew about my absurd fear except of him so I told the whole story.
'So actually I have never been into a roller coaster except when I was eight.'
He stared at me with his mouth opened, I rolled my eyes because he was making me embarrassed. 'Sorry,' he said, 'You're the first person I've met who doesn't like roller coasters.'
'Let's spin the bottle again,' i said blankly. What? I didn't like talking about my fear.
The bottle was spinned and this time it was Dawn's turn, 'Never have i ever talked to a stranger,' she said and took a sip of her drink.
'Come on Dawn. Everyone must have done that.'
We all took sips of our drinks except Alice. I gasped at her, 'What?!'
'Yes, surprise! I am Little Red Riding Hood.'
'No, even she talked to the wolf,' Dawn said, 'And Cheryl I couldn't think of anything else.'
I started telling my story first, 'Its been a plenty of times that I have talked to starngers. But the one I remembered is when I was six and got lost in a park eating a cotton candy. I asked a random woman for her mobile phone and called my mom her phone and I was found.'
'Smart,' said Zayn, 'I flirted with a stranger nurse because of a stupid dare and she obviously thought I was crazy because we were in a freaking hospital.' He eyed Aaron who coughed. I laughed, 'Ahy exactly were you playing truth and dare in a hospital?'
'Because,' said Aaron, he was obviously the one who gave the dare, 'my sister was admitted in there because of dehydration and Zayn was also staying the night there with me. We were bored so we played truth and dare. And I couldn't think of anything else,' he laughed followed by all of us.
Then, Dawn started, 'The time I remember I talked to a stranger was when I went to pet a cat on the street while walking to school when I was seven and the owner of the cat came running towards it, it was the first day of my school and.....' I completed for her, 'The owner of the cat was Felicity.' She nodded and Aaron told his story, 'I talked to a stranger when I was waiting for my dad's car to come and I was bored so I started a conversation. And like Cheryl said we all must have talked to strangers a lot of times so it's kinda a stupid question.'
Dawn threw a pillow at his face, 'I said I couldn't think of anything!' we all laughed.
Zayn's turn was next, 'Never have I ever slapped a person who tried to flirt with me.'
He smirked at me and I took a sip of my drink. Nobody except of me and Alice took a sip. Dawn said, 'Strangers never flirt with me.' Alice said, 'Once a random guy at a party who was obviously drunk tried to flirt with me and he was going too far so I slapped him.' I gave her a thumbs up and started my own story but instead I started giggling, 'I slapped Zayn at his party yesterday.' They all started laughing alongside me.
****************
We all sat there playing for sometime and soon Alice, Aaron, and Dawn drifted off to sleep and I was very sleepy myself. Zayn got up to put the cups back and I went to help him wash those.
We came back and I clicked a picture of Aaron and Alice sitting together and sleeping, they were cute. Alice's head was placed on Aaron's shoulder and they both were deep in sleep. Dawn had gone to the couch where she was sleeping and I just sat there staring at them when Zayn entered.
'Not sleepy?' he asked.
'I am very sleepy,' I truthfully answered.
'Hmmm, I'll get Aaron and then you guys can sleep on the bed, he is taking most of the space.' I chuckled and he woke up Aaron, Aaron looked around sleepily and stupidly and I laughed. He then took a look at Alice. He carefully placed her head on the pillow , thankfully she didn't wake up and Aaron then did the cutest thing possible. He kissed her forehead and with glancing at me for a second and smiling may I add, he left. I sat their awestruck that how wonderful it would be for Alice and Aaron to get together or at least be good friends. Aaron was very caring and loving and would be perfect for Alice, seeing they both like eachother made it more special.
Dawn was already asleep so I let her be on the couch and laid on the bed beside Alice. I started thinking about all the events that took place that day. Did I really hug Zayn? Why? I was supposed to despise him....why am I not being able to do that? He comforted me, we could be friends, or maybe we already are. I brushed off the thoughts of him from my mind and focused on sleeping. Go to sleep, Cheryl, good night.
