Another thing that I hated was sleeping alone at night.
I was so used to sleeping with Niall and having him so close to me, that when he spent the night at Louis' house on Saturday, it felt so strange, almost uncanny, being in an empty apartment.
I chatted with a good friend of mine, Stacy, for a few minutes (half an hour actually) before I took a shower. I brought my radio inside the bathroom and played my pop music, the same music Niall always made fun of because according to him pop wasn't music, and I sang the songs I knew by heart at the top of my lungs. I danced, there in the shower cubicle, to Katy Perry, Selena Gomez, Cher Lloyd, and all kinds of other artists. I've never been very picky about music; I just liked anything that was catchy or made me want to dance.
When I was done, I wrapped a towel around my body and went into the kitchen for a snack. I made a quick ham and cheese sandwich on wheat bread (I wasn't on a diet or anything, I honestly just preferred wheat over white bread) and pulled the towel off right there in the living room, exposing my nude body and rang out my hair with the towel. I didn't care about being naked because I was the only one in the house.
I had asked Stacy if she wanted to come over and stay the night, but she had work early in the morning. I called Denise, but she didn't answer, so I figured it would be just me tonight.
I found the nail polish, a face mask, and a nail filing kit, and got all my supplies and sat them out in the living room. I brought in the stereo and played more music as I began doing my nails. I took my time; I hummed under my voice and carefully did my toenails in a hot pink color, and then I moved onto my hands.
When I was finished, I waited for the polish to dry. Then I got dressed in my room and came back to the kitchen for some ice cream. I sat down in the living room and grabbed my phone to see a text from Niall.
Niall: how r u doing babe
Me: missing you
Niall: im sorry
Me: it's fine, just have fun with louis (:
Niall: I will. Be safe and lock the door. I love u.
Me: I love u too
I set on a good movie and watched it, but I ended up not liking it so I put on the Conjuring. I didn't know why I put that movie in of all movies because every time I watched it I felt scared. I've always been scared of ghosts; the thought of something being there without your knowledge terrified me, and the thought of having something you physically could not fight also terrified me.
So needless to say, I was terrified halfway through the movie, and I switched it off when I heard someone next door slam the door. It was dark outside, and without thinking, I dialed Niall's number.
"What's wrong, Jess?" He greeted instantly in concern.
