Waking up in the morning was...strange. To say the least. My pillow, was not a pillow. My blanket, was not a blanket. I, was not myself.

But then again, when are we ourselves? Do we even know our true selves? Aren't we different around each person? Don't we pretend not to care about someone, when inside, it's the person we care about most? Don't we pretend not to notice in order to fit in, to be...accepted?

I guess we never get to really know who we truly are. We are not one person, but many people trapped inside one body. Dying to get out.

And sometimes, those people come out at the wrong times. Like when you let something slip, when you didn't mean to. Maybe that could put your whole 'reputation' in jeopardy.

And sometimes, we don't have the person we need most inside us. So that's why we need certain people beside us. To go through this life with us. That is why I need Niall Horan.

As I was thinking, I didn't realize that the boy I am so deeply in love with had woken up.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked from my chest where his head lied.

"Life." I replied nonchalantly, hoping he would ask for details. I really didn't feel like telling him how much I love him and need him in my life.

"More specific please?"

"Ummm...I don't know Niall"

"Come on. Please?"

"Iwsjstfinkngabothwmchilubyhu"

"What? I couldn't understand that"

"Never mind" I mumbled.

"Okay" he chuckled burying his head deeper into my chest.

"Why are you snuggling into my boobs Niall?" I asked. Generally worried about him.

"They're comfy" he replied like it was a normal thing, well...it used to be...haha...ha...ha...

But that's a story for another time.

"Do you have to work today?" he asked me.

"No. Why?"

"I wanted to hang out with you. And I think after last night you owe me some answers" he stated. I knew this was going to happen.

"Ummm...yeah. I guess" I replied. Already dreading the time when he will ask about what I said.

As he got up to put on his pants and shirt, I realized just how warm he actually was. Yet that was probably because I was only wearing my bra and underwear.

I quickly shot up and ran to my bedroom to get dressed. But not before I heard Niall call out "nothing I've never seen before!"

I blushed a deep crimson and slammed the door, just so he knew I heard him. And he obviously knew I did because I heard his adorable chuckle.
