Niall's POV:

Man, that was incredible! Melbourne sure know how to party!

We're all totally buzzing after the concert.

I get changed out of my tux and into jeans, a hoodie and my SF SnapBack. I pick up my phone, 2 missed calls from mrs Conrad a.k.a Amber’s mum. Suddenly My phone is ringing, with yet another call from Judy. "hello?" I answer. "ambers awake. She's been asking for you." Judy says.

I get to the hospital and meet Judy, who takes me to ambers room. She knocks on the door. "you have a visitor, dear." Judy says, poking her head in. I open the door and walk in. "Niall!" she says. She sounds exhausted. "hey beautiful." I say. "how you feelin?" I ask.  "fantastic!" amber says, with a false smile. Judy leaves and I walk over to ambers bed. "bit of a stupid question I suppose." I say. "scootch." she shifts over to one side of the bed, leaving enough room for me. I sit down next to her and she snuggles into my shoulder.

"you were right." she says. "about everything... God, I've been so stupid!" she says and buries her face in her hands. "you weren't the one being stupid, amber." she looks up at me with her big brown eyes. I love her freckles. "Jonah's the stupid one. He treats you like crap. He doesn't know how good he's got it!" I say. Amber chews on her lip. "I know." she says quietly. "and what about me? I got into a bar fight! How stupid's that?!" I say and she giggles. I'm so happy I made her laugh. "but we're over now.." she says. "who?" I ask. "Jonah and me." she says. "oh.." I don't really know what else to say. Maybe I like you? I want to be more than friends? Yeah right... She doesn't see me that way.

Amber plays with my string bracelet, a thoughtful look on her face.

"Niall?" she says. "yeah, love."

"do you... Like me?" she asks.

"well.. You're my friend.. I suppose.. Uh." I say awkwardly. "because I remember hearing your voice while I was unconscious... At least.. I thought it was you." she says. "it was me." I say. She looks up at me again and chews her lip some more. "did you mean all those things you said?" she asks me. "every single one, amber."

"Niall?" she says. "yeah, love." I reply.

"can this be our first summer?"

"the first of many."
