Yes, Maybe, or No?

Chapter Three

"Dani?" Liam yelled. I looked around at the small flat. Pretty cool. Everything was white except for a few black leather pillows and chairs and such. 

I heard the patter of foot steps on the stairs and a curly head emerged. Liam went over and hugged his girlfriend. 

"Hey," Danielle pulled her curly hair into a ponytail. 

"Oh! This is Delilah Fontaine, the winner of the One Direction tour contest!" Liam explained, as if just remembering I was there. Danielle looked over at me and smiled, her pearly white teeth sparkling like a commercial for toothpaste. 

"I'm Danielle. Danielle Peazer. Nice to meet you!" she held out a thin hand and I shook it with a grin. I liked her already. 

Liam checked his watch and his eyes widened a little. "I'm late!" he kissed Danielle on the cheek and hurried out the door. 

Danielle rolled her eyes playfully and welcomed me more inside her flat to sit on the couches. "So I heard you had a little sister who has cancer," she tilted her head, wanting to know more. 

"Oh um..." I started. 

"It's okay, you don't have to tell me!" she smiled. 

I shook my head. "No, it's okay, I want to tell someone," I told her. Danielle nodded like she understood. "So when I was 16 and she was 13, she was diagnosed with cancer and she was sent to the hospital. She's been doing tests and living in the hospital for quite a while now. It's been, what? One and a half years?" I counted. 

Danielle nodded her head and pulled on her white cowl neck sweater. She was wearing little makeup, a white cowl neck sweater over black leggings, gold bangles, and gray flats. Perfectly casual. [A/N get your paper and pencil cause this is the link: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=56156252 link for my Polyvore Danielle Peazer page] "Well, I truly do hope she's better. She'll be so surprised when she sees you up on that stage with the boys!" she gushed. I smiled gratefully. 

"Yeah, that was my plan. I really hope she's better too," I agreed. Danielle got up and brushed imaginary lint off of herself. 

"Well, we can't just sit around here all day! Wanna go catch a movie?" she asked. I nodded. "Lemme change first!" she smiled, waved, and headed back up the stairs. I looked down, hoping she wouldn't be in something too dressy (It would make me feel underdressed) or too casual (It would make me feel overdressed). My blue and white varsity jacket (Zayn had commented that I looked like him, I really need to upgrade my outfits seeing as yesterday I was the girl version of Harry and today I'm Zayn), black skinny jeans, and pink combat boots. I also carried my pink bag. [A/N External Link is her outfit] A few minutes later Danielle came down wearing ripped skinny jeans, scrunched gray high heel boots, and a black crop tee. She looked out the window. "Wow, it looks cold..." she mumbled to herself. She grabbed a Jack Wills hoodie and slipped it on. 

I grabbed my bag and got off of the couch. "What movie is it?" I asked nonchalantly, trying to sound like I didn't really care.

"I don't know, how about Friends With Benefits?" Danielle suggested, getting into her car. I waked around the car to slide in using the other door. 

I shrugged. That movie sounded good. "Sure, why not?" I agreed. 

"So, I heard you and Niall have been talking a lot!" Danielle looked at me in the rear view mirror. 

I blushed and looked out through the window. "Yeah, out of these two days, I'm closest with him I guess..." 

Danielle laughed. "He's just waiting for a chance to make his move!" she informed me. 

Now it was my turn to laugh. "Really? You've got to be kidding me. I'm just the one who doesn't even like One Direction and did this all for my sister, remember?" 

She nodded. "Touché." we drove in silence for a while and then arrived. "Here we are! Exactly 10:25 Friends With Benefits!" she exclaimed. 

We walked inside and realized there were only a few people there besides us. We bought some popcorn and water and headed inside. 

There were some opening credits and then the movie started.

"Did you have fun?" Niall asked as he flopped onto the couch with Chinese take out he had brought back. I sat down next to him and clicked the white remote to see what shows were on. 

"Yeah, I really love Danielle. She's great," I replied, clicking through channels. 

Niall slurped up some noodles. "Want some?" He asked as he held up a forkful of noodles. I looked at him strangely. 

"Don't you like, never share your food?" I asked. 

He shrugged. "Yeah but..." he drifted off. 

I laughed, leaned forward, and slurped up the noodles. "Pretty good," I commented and he beamed proudly. 

"Wait let's watch this one!" he commanded. I looked at the TV. It was family guy. 

We watched in silence with the occasional slurping sound from Niall. I realized I hadn't watched this show in a while. Since... Well, my sister got diagnosed with cancer... I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

I awoke from the beep signaling the coffee maker had finished brewing something. I opened my eyes and saw that I was lying down on the couch with my head in Niall's Lap and my feet propped up on the other arm of the couch. Niall was still snoring softly so I quietly lifted my head to look over the back of the couch. "Hello love!" Zayn greeted me, holding up a cup of coffee, steaming. 

"Hey," I grumbled, sitting up and planting my feet on the floor. 

"I thought you and Nialler over there would never wake up!" Zayn remarked. I rolled my eyes and got up from the couch. 

"You mean, you thought that Nialler would never wake up!" I relied smartly, heading over and grabbing his cup of coffee. 

He tried snatching it back but I brought it to my lips and drank. Well, that was refreshing. 

"What about me?" Niall muttered, lifting his head. 

"Nothing!" Zayn and I sang.
