Liam: You rolled around in bed in your appartment. You groaned as you heard several more bangs and crashes coming from the flat directly next to yours. Your neighbors had been keeping you up all night, which was fine for them, but you had a huge test tomorrow, and it was 2 a.m. You leaned over and dialled your boyfriend Liam’s number on your phone. “Hello?” he answered groggily. “Hey Li,” you say. “Y/n! What’s going on? Are you alright?” he asks. You laugh a little. “I’m fine Li. I was just wondering if I could stay at your place tonight.” “Of couse you can!” he exclaims. “Why do you need to?” “Well,” you reply, “I have a big exam tomorrow, and my neighbors are going at it 24/7, and I really need to get some sleep tonight.” “Wait,” he says confused, “What’s 24/7?” “Oh!” you say, “I guess its an American saying…It means all day, every day, basically.” “Ok,” he says, “But what’s going at it?” You giggle a little. “Umm…” you start. “It’s dancing. Lot’s of dancing.” “Oh!” he says. “Alright! See you soon! Love you babe!”

Louis: You were sitting in a taxi in New York City with your boyfriend Louis. It was really late, and you were exhausted from a long day of going out and exploring the city with Louis, but he somehow still had energy, even though it was past midnight. “Maybe now we can walk around Rockefeller Plaza! I know we were there a few hours ago, but I heard it’s even prettier at night!” He says excitedly. You laugh a little at your boyfriend. “Maybe we could just head back to the hotel and try to get some sleep? I’m pretty beat.” you say, and Louis looks at you horrified. “What do you mean you’re beat?!” he practically shouts. “Who’s been hurting you y/n? You can tell me! I swear I’ll kill them…” he mutters this last part to himself. You look at him confused for a minute before you figure out the situation, making you laugh. He looks at you angrily. “This isn’t funny y/n! Tell me what’s going on!” he says, and you manage to stop laughing for a second to explain to him that you weren’t actually beat…it’s just a saying meaning you’re tired. “Oh,” he smiles, “That’s good. I’m glad you’re alright. But if you are ever beat, tell me ok?” You smile and reassure him, and head back to the hotel.

Harry: You and your boyfriend Harry were going out for your one year anniverary, and your day leading up to the anniversary dinner wasn’t exactly going well. Your boss had yelled at you for stuff that clearly wasn’t your fault, your co-worker spilt their hot coffee all over you, and when you were waiting for a taxi to get home, one pulled over, and instead of just stopping, splashed water all over you, completely soaking you. As soon as you got home, you showered and tried to get ready as quickly as you could, to be on time for Harry. You didn’t really have enough time to do your hair, and you were barely wearing any makeup at all when you and Harry left. Harry took your hand as you walked into the restaurant. “You look gorgeous!” he said happily. “You’re kidding right?” you said, “I look ratchet.” He looks at you confused. “What’s ratchet?” he asks. You laugh a little. “It’s like terrible.” you tell him. “You and your american slang,” he says jokingly, “But you know it’s not true. You’re absolutely beautiful y/n. I love you.” You smile and stand on your toes to kiss your wonderful boyfriend.

Zayn: You and Zayn were having a lovely lunch together at a cafe on a rainy London day. The two of you were having a great time together, just sipping hot chocolate and talking about anything and everything that came to mind. Suddenly, a fan came up to the two of you. Zayn gave you a sympathetic smile and got up to take a picture with the fan. The girl then came up to you, and explained that her best friend, Abby, thought you were awesome, so she wanted to know if you could write her friend a note. You got out a pen and a piece of paper and wrote down Hey Abby! Wish I could meet you! Your awesome! xxx y/n. The fan read the note before snobbishly saying to you, “You know it’s y-o-u apostraphe r-e, for you are, right?” You rolled your eyes. “Looks like we got a red pen police junior cadet!” you said, causing the fan to huff and walk away. Zayn looked at you with a funny expression on his face. “What’s the red pen police?” he asks. “Uh,” you say, “It’s what you call someone when they’re being really uptight about grammar.” “Ohh,” he says, “I think I’m going to start using that one!” You laugh, and you and Zayn return to your amazing cafe day.

Niall: You groaned as your gaze once again returned to your completely busted up car. You were going through an intersection when another car ran the red and t-boned into your car. You were fine, but your car was beyond repair. You got out your phone and dialed your boyfriend Niall’s number. “Hi y/n!” he said as soon as he picked up the phone. “Hey Niall,” you say, “Can you come pick me up? My car is totaled.” “Uh, sure babe, but what’s totaled mean?” he asked, causing you to smile, for possibly the first time that day. “It means completely recked. Another car hit me as I was going through an intersection.” “OMG, BABY ARE YOU ALRIGHT!?!?” Niall practically screamed into the phone. “Yeah Niall, I’m fine, but my car isn’t.” you say, “Just come pick me up please. I’m at the intersection of East 3rd street and Main.” “Alright sweetie, I’ll be there soon.” Niall was there faster than someone who was going the legal speed limit should have been. You spent the entire ride home trying to convince Niall you were fine, and you took him out to Nando’s to calm his nerves.
