Niall's POV

Today Ashley tried to keep distance towards me, which I'm absolutely fine with. It's like everytime we talk we have an argument and it's vacation I don't need any arguments I'm here to relax. The last few weeks haven't been easy for me at all and I won't let her ruin my vacation.

I can't fall asleep so I decided to go for a walk along the beach. It must be beautiful at night. I walk down the path and see light on in several rooms but nobody is outside. I wonder where Ashley is though, she isn't in our hotel room. On the other hand I don't even care so why bother and wasting time thinking about her.

I can hear the waves of the sea already, it sounds calming. It's a beautiful night, the stars on the sky must be about a million, it looks honestly amazing. I wish I had a girlfriend I could watch the nightsky with. Or do something else. Sometimes it's hard to see all the lads with their girlfriends while I'm alone without anyone. It makes you want a girlfriend too, but apparently I can't take interest in anyone for a while already.

I kick a stone that's on the ground and continue walking. When the path turns to sand I take off my shoes and socks and continue walking. I watch the waves of the sea when I notice someone in there. The moonlight makes it hard to see something but I recognize who it is when I take a closer look.

"Ashley?" I shout.

"Thank god you're here I need your help!"

"Why should I help you?" I ask.

"Because I'd do the same for you." she simply says. Okay now I'm curious.

"What do you want?" 

"Can you come into the water with my towel? My bikini top loosened itself and now I can't find it anymore." 

"Why don't you just come out to your towel?" I laugh.

"In the bushes over there are paparazzis hiding." she sounds like she really needs help. I sigh. I don't actually want to do that for her but I wouldn't want nudes being taken by a paparazzi of myself so I totally understand why she asks.

I let my shoes fall next to her towel and then undress till I'm in my boxers only. She's that deep in the water I don't want my clothes to be soaking wet. I pick up the huge towel and run into the water.

"Jesus it's cold!" I scream.

Ashley just laughs at my reaction. I cover her with the towel as we take a few steps towards the shore. We stop and I look straight into her eyes. The moonlight is shimmering in them. Her eyes look like the ocean, bright blue and reflecting the light.

"I- uh we should go now." she stutters. I chuckle and we walk out of the water. I get dressed again and we make our way to the hotel room.

"You know, you could thank me for rescuing you" I tease.

"Rescuing me? You helped me and thanks for that but you didn't rescue me." she rolls her eyes.

"You become angry quite fast." I note.

"And you wonder about that because?"

I shrug my shoulders and she hits my arm.

"You're an idiot." she mumbles and walks faster being a few steps ahead of me. She becomes faster and faster and then I can't see her anymore cause I don't want to run after her. Who am I that I would do that.

My sore throat makes me go to the bar in the lobby of the hotel to drink some sparkling water. There's a TV too and currently the news are on.

Something catches my eye that better hadn't.

One Direction member Niall Horan seen flirting with model Ashley Jones, is there something serious going on between them or is she just another model using him for fame? We'll tell you more soon.

Without drinking the rest of my water I basically run to Ashley's and my hotel room. When I close the door I notice that she's sleeping.

"No!" she suddenly screams making my heart skip a beat.

"Ashley!" I shoutwhisper when I stand next to her bed. She has a nightmare. I try to wake her up but I fail.

"Please don't leave." she cries and grabs my arm. She's still asleep, damn what's going on in her dream? Ashley's fingernails dig into my skin as she pulls me into her bed.

I try to calm her down by stroking her head telling her that everything will be alright. I embrace her with my arms and hum a melody until she is finally calm and I fall sleep myself in Ash's bed. She never loosened the grip on my arm this much that I could slip out and go to my own bed.

---------------------------------

It must be around 9 am when I wake up. Ashley looks at me sleepily.

"Why are you in my bed?" she asks, her head still on my chest like we fell asleep last night. Her big blue eyes watch me move and she sits up. I have to admit, she looks cute when she wakes up, her messy hair, her voice and stuff but still - perfection. Something I can't stand.

"You had a nightmare when I came to our room and you kind of wouldn't let me go to my bed."

"Oh.. I'm sorry." she answers quietly.

"Do you remember your dream?"

"Yes."

"What happened?"

"Don't wanna talk about it to be honest." she looks out of the window definitely not wanting to look at me.

"We should go to eat breakfast now." It sounds cold, but if she doesn't open up to me why should I be nice.

"We should." it sounds harsh. Ashley gets out of bed to grab new clothes. She decides for ripped skinny jeans and a tanktop. I don't look at her while she's changing but when I hear the door being shut I feel the blood boiling in my veins.

If she wants me to be mad, then fine she gets me mad.
