All Along (1D and 5SOS Fanfic)

Chapter 26

It's been a week since we played spin the bottle/ 7 minutes in heaven. We all spent the week together (Sophia and Perrie both had things to do back where they live so they left 4 days ago.) and it's been pretty amazing. Harry didn't try to pull anything (which is a prayer answered from God.)

I was currently in my room packing my bags for my trip home. I decided to visit for two weeks. I leave tomorrow. I finished packing the last bag and went to meet the others down stairs. They were all watching a movie and were pulled into the living room. I saw a spot open in between Liam and Calum and walked over to sit with him. I grabbed a small pillow from the floor and sat down. Liam smiled at me and then looked back at the tv screen. Calum pulled my hair and I whacked him with the pillow. Harry stared at us and I felt awkward.

We watched the movie and then all went to the rooms we were staying in. I was lying on the bed listening to Habits when I heard a knock on the door. Then it opened and Niall walked in. I smiled at him and sat up patting the spot next to me. He sat down and leaned on the headboard, sighing.

"What's wrong, Ni?

"I don't want you to leave."

"Why?" I asked, dumbfounded. Niall and I have hung out a few times but we weren't extremely close or anything.

"I know you miss your home and you want To let everyone know you're okay, but I thought we lost you forever and we just got you back." I leaned over to him and kissed his cheek then wrapped my arms around him and hugged him tight. I felt him relax and I knew something else was bothering him.

"Niall, what's really wrong?" I asked. He burst into tears.

"Oh my gosh, Niall!" I said surprised. "Are you okay?" I rubbed his back as he sobbed.

"J, I wanna go home." He said between sobs.

"Niall, I'm so sorry."

"Don't be sorry. It's not your fault. I just want to go see my family and friends but management says this is too much of a bad time."

"Leave without their knowing."

"How exactly could I do that?" He looked at me like I was stupid.

"Just do it." I smiled.

"That might just be a good ideA." He contemplated. "Let's get some shut eye. See you in the mornin'." He smiled and got up to leave.

The next morning, I woke up to the smell of bacon, eggs, waffles, and coffee. I sat up, rubbed my eyes and stretched. I checked the time. 9:45 A.M. I leave in 5 hours. I got up and walked downstairs to see who was up. As I walked around the corner to the kitchen I saw Harry and Ashton. Awkward.

"Morning guys." I smiled.

"Good morning beautiful." Harry smiled and walked over to hug me.

"Good morning J." Ashton smiled.

I sat down on the stool beside Ashton and watched Harry cook. After about 10 minuets Ashton said he was going upstairs I shower. I decided to go too. As we got to the top of the stairs, I turned To go into the second bathroom then I felt a hand around my wrist and I was pulled into the bathroom Ashton was going to.

"Woah, what are you doing?" I chuckled.

"Jenna, ever since you woke up, we've acted like nothing was going on between us before."

"Wh-what do you mean."

"I mean, like come on, Harry was a total dick to you before he thought he lost you and I was there for you through it all. I stayed at that hospital every night when everyone else, including Harry, left to sleep in their beds. I just don't understand.." Ashton was still talking but I had zoned him out as I stared at him. He was getting really angry and I did what I had wanted to do when I woke up. "-it and you don't understand-" I put my arms around his neck and kissed him as hard as I could. I felt him relax as our kiss deepened. He put his hands under my butt and lifted me to sit on the counter. Our kiss was so deep and I never wanted to stop kissing him. But all good things come to an end. We pulled away and Ashton smiled at me. He kissed my forehead and the whispered. "And I love you." I tensed but I knew what I had to say.

"And I love you too." I smiled and ran my fingers through his hair. He kissed me one more time and then I left to go take a shower.
