Ashley's POV

"Thank you for letting me stay the night." my brother says when we're eating breakfast. I'm currently shoving some cereal in my mouth and I just nod with a smile. "By the way, I got kicked out of my flat. I'm moving into our parent's house again."

I let my spoon fall into the bowl with my food. Some milk splashes into my face but I just look at Michael in disbelief. After a while I finally manage to say something. "Why did they kick you out?"

"Oh, they say I broke a rule. My girlfriend stayed with me for a long time and they said she'd live there and that it is not allowed if I don't tell them and then they told me to move out."

"Michael Jones, is this your way to tell me that you have a girlfriend?" I raise my eyebrows and stare at him. He blushes madly and covers his face with his hands. "Aw now don't be so shy."

"Well I wanted to know if it would last before I tell you but apparently I had no other choice than telling you now."

"That's right... Dad knows that you're moving in again?"

"Yeah he does. I also said that I could babysit Katie when he visits Mum cause you know, she can't always come with him."

"Yeah that's a great idea." I smile at him and continue eating. "You're a cute big brother."

"Thanks Ash, but you know, you're a sweet little sister. I'm so freaking glad that we aren't that kind of siblings who hate each other."

"Me too." I smily say. When we're done eating I put the dishes into the sink and wash them. Michael dries them with a thin towel and places them back in the cabinets. It doesn't take long as we're just 2 people.

"Any plans for the day?" my brother asks when he sits down on the sofa.

"I'm going to Pascalle's and Liam's flat today to hang out." I reply and look at the clock next to my TV. It says 11 a.m. Maybe I should get dressed. I walk into my bedroom and open the big wardrobe. I grab a light blue sweater as it's not that warm today and black skinny jeans. I actually wear only skinny jeans, not other ones except in photoshoots and stuff cause they make me feel comfortable.

I get dressed quickly and look at my reflection in the mirror. I smile. It's one of my favorite pullovers I'm wearing. Today I decide against any make-up. 

Keep It Natural.

My motto for the day.

I get the key for my car, my house and put them into a small bag. Afterwards I plug my phone off the charger and put it in there as well. That's all I need I guess.

When Michael sees that I'm about to leave he gets up too, putting his shoes on while I'm opening the door.

"By the way, if you need help getting your stuff out of your flat I could help you." I suggest.

"Oh no Ashley, it's fine. Claire and I will do that. You're very busy and deserve your spare time." Michael answers me.

So that's what his girlfriend is called. Claire. A beautiful name.

"I'd be glad to help though so just tell me if you need me okay?"

"Alright now come on let's leave." he rushes me to lock the door. "When are you going to visit Mum again?" he then asks.

 "I can't tomorrow but in 2 days I'll be able to stay the whole day." I smile at the thought of being able to stay all day.

We get into the elevator and I push the button so it moves down. It's silent but not awkward. When we reach my car I hug my brother and then he leaves. I start the engine and switch on the radio. One of my favorite songs come on and I just sing along. Nobody can hear me anyway.

It doesn't take long to drive to Pascalle's and Liam's flat. Only about half an hour, I consider it as rather short, because the chances on a traffic jam are very high in London.

Their apartment is on the 10th floor so I don't walk up the stairs. When I reach their door it's already opened and Pascalle stands there. I hug her tightly and she lets me in closing the door behind me.

"I hope you're good. Liam isn't at home, he's out with Louis and Zayn." she explains.

"Okay. You have a really nice flat! It's huge." I tell her.

"Thank you, we really put effort into decorating it and stuff." she shows me the parts I haven't seen yet and then we grab some blankets and pillows and lie down on the sofa.

"Can I ask you something?" Pascalle suddenly says.

"Of course, you don't need to ask me if you can ask me something." I start to laugh.

"Do you love Niall?"

"I don't know."

"What do you mean?" she looks confused.

"Sometimes I like him a lot that I think I'd fall for him but then I hate him so much that I could kill him. It's not normal." I sigh.

"Complicated. But you two would be a cute couple if you forget about the fact that you sometimes feel strong dislike towards the other."

"You think so?" I think my cheeks are turning red but I'm not sure, there's no mirror I could check that in.

"Yes I do and I'm not the only one who thinks that. I talked to Sarah, Liam, Harry, and Eleanor as well about it and they all agree."

"Hmm but even if I was sure that I'd love him, he doesn't feel the same so it's better to just try to avoid that feeling anyway."

"If you think that will work you're wrong. You'll see Niall a lot, tomorrow at the party, when we go on vacation again, and after that as well. No chance on avoiding Niall."

"Was that necessary?" I pout but she just laughs and embraces me.

Even though I would never admit it to anyone, it IS going to be difficult.
