ELLIOT POV

I sit in the car on the passenger's side, Niall driving to what he claims to be a secret candy bar. He picks up his phone, presses a few keys and put it to his ear. I look at him wondrously, asking him, "Isn't it illegal to talk and drive at the same time? Because it is in New York!"

"Yes it is." Niall says, gloating to himself. "But this is urgent."

"To whom?"

Just as I ask, the person on the other line answers. Niall's face light's up. "Hey Liam! You with Dani and Elle? The other Elle? You guys busy? Coz Elliot and I are off to downtown Cheshire, we're taking a visit to the secret candy bar." I roll my eyes. "Alright, see you in ten."

Just as Niall hangs up, I ask him "So Liam's coming with Danielle and Eleanor?"

"Yeah buddy! The rest of the lot are in Starbucks or something, Malik sent me a text, so it'll just be us five."

"Alright then."

We pull up at a small little shop, with red brick walls and a bell above the door. Once we get inside, the whole thing was a different scene. Blue, pink and other pastel colors filled the walls, everything seemed so cute.

One side of the store was lined up with booths, the opposite one had shelves of bulk candy running up an down. The back wall had a bar like counter, which sat a girl working her shift.

She gave us a welcoming smile as we walked up to the counter. "What do you guys want today?"

"We have three more coming, so we're going to get five happy hour all you can eat passes."

I give Niall a look. All you can eat candy? Really? That was insane, that was heaven.

We slid into one of the booths after we paid our money. "Hey Carter?"

"Yeah?"

"Thanks for helping the other day, I really needed it." Niall said, blushing a little.

I put my hand on his arm. "Hey, don't worry about it, everyone needs some friends to help em' sometimes, there's no need to thank me."

"Are you sure?"

"Well you already brought me to heaven, I don't know what else there is to do for me really."

We both laugh Niall pulls me in for a hug, I embrace him warmly, he was so huggable. "Love you Ellie."

"You too Niall."

It was as if I had known this boy forever, he was like the big brother I never had, the guy best friend I lacked.

Just then, Liam burst into the door without any proper greeting. "HORAN HUGS!!"

"Hey Liam." Niall and I said in unison.

"God, I haven't been here in ages, this is great." Liam says, wrapping an arm around Danielle's waist.

Eleanor walks in, making the bell chime. She's on her phone, texting away. "Eleanor!"

She smiles. "Hey Elliot! How have you been?" she asks giving me a hug. "Amazing." I say.

"Well let's get some candy, shall we?" Niall asks, his souvenir candy mug already in hand. We all grab ours and make our way to the bulk area, which was probably the best thing that had ever happened to me. I started with some multicoloured mini M&M's, filling my mug half way and going back to the booth.

Niall was sat at the booth, head down and mug empty. "This is so hard." he grumbles to himself. "What's wrong Nialler?"

"I can't chose what candy I want to eat first."
