STARGAZER

CHAPTER 12: STARGAZER

(Day 9, 2/3 days in LA) 

I woke up cold. 

I didn't open my eyes. I felt for Niall next to me but all there was was a piece of paper. 

My vision blurred and then cleared letting the sun into my vision. The envelope had 'Sophia' written on it, and then inside a note. 

"Sophia, I'm sorry I couldn't be there to say good morning and hug you. I've got a surprise interview, the boys woke me up and told me. I'll see you in a bit, I promise. Hopefully by the time you wake up i'll be there and if not there is some breakfast I made you on the counter. Eggs and bacon, your favorite. I'm missing you more and more right now. Know that." Signed Niall. 

I looked over at the clock and I slept in by a few hours, It's 1 in the afternoon. I looked out but I didn't hear anyone talking. I spotted the food and threw it in the microwave for a bit and sat down. I was eating when out of the corner of my eye I see someone, so I jumped and screamed. 

"CALM DOWN ITS ONLY ME." Beatrice said, going through the fridge.

"YOU SCARED ME, SORRY I THOUGHT I WAS ALONE." She sat down with a cup of orange juice and was all smiling and giggly.

"Why are you so happy." I said angrily at her while I ate my eggs.

"Well. Harry asked me to be his girlfriend last night." shocker.

"Oh i'm so happy for you Bea! But... all you guys do is spend time in the bedroom together. Like.. the press doesn't even know about you guys." 

"I know.. I like it that way. But now I think I want him to tell everyone so everyone knows hes taken. I guess.." She took another gulp of her juice.

"Yeah.. But it's kind of really hard reading that stuff in the newspapers." 

"I'm sorry Soph.. I know. I'll get through it just like you. At least we have each other."

I got up and gave her a huge hug. She was so tiny and cute, with her long straight black hair and her huge green eyes. Who wouldn't want her? She's more beautiful than me.

I put my dish in the sink, and I could see out the window the clouds were rolling in. When rain comes, I get happy. Most people when they see the rain they get sad and depressed but I see happiness. I see happiness because rain is refreshing. You can see it coming down from the sky while you're sitting by the fire drinking a cup of hot chocolate. When I see rain, I see warmth. 

I sat there on the couch and watched the rain from across the room in my 'lay around the house clothes' (outfit on the side) when I heard the boys come through the door. I looked towards them casually and they all plopped down on the couch. Niall smiled and laid across my lap.

"NIALL, GET OFF ME YOU'RE NOT AS LIGHT AS YOU LOOK." 

He got off me and went to get something to eat in the kitchen. Louis looked at me and said "So what time did you wake up?" 

"1. A few minutes ago." 

"WELL THEN, MUST BE NICE GETTING TO WAKE UP WHENEVER YOU WANT EH?" He was joking, but he was still angry for having to get up. 

"Eh, it was alright." I smiled, flaunting it in front of him. Zayn and Liam were passed out on the floor and Harry ran to his bedroom. I wish they would just join us instead of being so secretive about their relationship.. I never really got to know Harry that much besides the time when we went to go get s'more for Niall in RI. 

A little while later Niall was done eating and we were getting ready to pop in a movie. The rain was pouring down, like straight down. I could feel the coldness come through the window. Out of nowhere when Zayn was putting the CD in the dvd played the window flipped open and the rain was pouring in the room. 

"WELL, SOMEONE SHUT IT!" Louis yelled.

Niall and I jumped up shutting them tightly and re locking it. We looked at our clothes and we were drenched. I laughed at his shirt, it was see through and I could really see how much muscle he had. I haven't thought of him like that yet, thinking about having sex with him. Am I wrong for not thinking about it? Has he thought about it? Nah... we've never even said 'I love you' yet so he couldn't have. 

We were both laughing so I took his hand and dragged him out of the room. What i'm doing is pretty whacked out I must say.

"WHERE ARE WE GOING." he yelled, still smiling but I just kept holding on to him. We reached the lobby in our soaked clothes when I looked at him. 

"I wanna try something." I said in a whisper. There were no paps outside but still a few fans. They don't look like they would bother us though, just take a few photos. 

I ran out of the lobby alone, not caring what would happen, what people would think. The rain was hitting my face and my arms were spread out like I was trying to catch every raindrop coming down. It feels so cold, but it's worth it. I stood there just forgetting about everything. But there was only on thing I couldn't forget. And that was Niall.

I felt warm hands traveling down my open arms until our fingers intertwined. I laughed because it reminded me of how Jack and Rose stood at the tip of the Titanic. Then I felt this whisper in my ear. 

"You're so free." 

That meant a lot to me. I don't know why.. but it did. 

I turned around to face him when he pulled me into a kiss. It's every girls dream to be kissed in the rain, and it's finally coming true to me. His warm breath and lips on me, and the taste of mint. The rain was washing away all of my fears, all of my pain. Everything was gone but that moment with Niall. He moved his hand up my back without breaking the kiss, and finally his hands reached my hair. He gripped tightly and pushed my head towards him. There was literally no space between us but then I had to pull away and gasp for air. He was so overwhelming like no matter how much I kiss him, i'll never get enough. 

I breathed in and out while he still looked down at my eyes. 

"I'm sorry." he said.

He said sorry like he genuinely meant it. 

"Why are you sorry." I said confused.

"Because, I always over do it." He said in a sad tone.

I met his gaze and said "Don't ever say that again. I want you. And I want you to be real with me. You don't over do it at all." He smiled and brought me back for an easy kiss when we hear a loud voice.

"HEY LOVE BIRDS, GET UP HERE BEFORE YOU MISS THE GOD DAMN MOVIE." It was Louis, talking on the loud speaker. We waved at him up at the room and he waved back but then quickly shut the window so the rain wouldn't go in. We laughed and he took my hand running back inside to watch 'the god damn movie.' 

*  *  *  *

"I don't want to leave you tomorrow."  I said in a weary voice. It was dark and we were just laying in bed. 

"I want you to stay with me." He said. It was so tempting to skip this whole freaking tour and just be with him but my parents would be so mad.. And I can't. I just can't.

"If I could. I would. I would ditch everything. I just want to be with you." I said feeling the tear go down my face, thank god it's dark and he can't see.

"Will, will you promise to text me, and skype me?" He said, in a little kids voice.

"I will Niall. You're the only thing that will be on my mind."

"And you'll be the only thing on mine too." He whispered pressing his lips to my forehead and pulling me more into his arms. We fell asleep enduring the day ahead of us.
