Ashley's POV

My phone has been beeping for the past 20 minutes but I'm too lazy to get up and check it. I walked too much yesterday, my body can't handle that much walking in one day. Fine I give up! Who messages someone at 11:00am anyway. People are trying to sleep here. Niall that's who, or should I say 'That Blonde Hottie' which is his contacts name on my phone. He set it himself, shocker.

8 new messages from 'That Blonde Hottie'

That Blonde Hottie: Hey are you up yet???

That Blonde Hottie: Ashleyyyy please don't ignore me

That Blonde Hottie: I could be getting murdered right now

That Blonde Hottie: you don't even care do you as long as you get your precious sleep

That Blonde Hottie: AHH! A MURDERER!

That Blonde Hottie: your too late I'm dead

That Blonde Hottie: just kidding but seriously get up

That Blonde Hottie: I give up

I giggle to myself then message him back.

Meee: I'm awake now what do you want???

We always put three question marks in our texts. I don't know why, it seems kind of stupid thinking about it. Ah well. I go down stairs in my pyjamas because I honestly can't be bothered getting ready. I don't even remember getting changed into these last night. Thinking about it I don't even remember coming home last night. That's weird. I hear voices there must be more people awake than just Niall, unless he's talking to himself. He does that quite a lot actually. Nope the voice is not Irish so it must be someone else.

"Look who finally decided to wake up" This ones defiantly Irish.

"It's only 11:00 Niall, this is early for me" I groan.

"First" He takes a pause.

"It's exactly 11:30 now and second you missed breakfast" He looks way too happy about this for my liking. Couldn't he just have walked up stairs and told me breakfast was ready. He knows it takes more than a message to wake me up.

"Dammit Horan, why didn't you wake me up" I whine.

"Are you being serious, I messaged you at least ten times" he rolls his eyes at me.

"First" I say mimicking him.

"You messaged me 8 times and second I hate you" I throw myself down on the couch and sulk. Niall takes a seat next to me and pokes my cheek. I manage to keep a straight face and fight the urge to laugh at his stupid attempt to make me forgive him.

"I'm sorry Ashley and I know you don't actually hate me" He smirks at me.

"I do" I can't believe I haven't laughed yet, this must be a record. He pouts and looks me straight in the eyes. A smile starts to break across my face, I just can't help it he looks so cute.

"Ha. I knew I could break you" He fist pumps the air and then falls back onto my lap. His nose is all scrunched up as he realises I haven't actually said I love him yet, therefore he hasn't won yet. Before I have a chance to speak he has sat up and began tickling me. He knows I hate being tickled, that jerk.

"Niall stop!" I yell but he continues.

"I'll stop if you say you love me" He grins at me in delight.

"Fine, fine. I love you Niall. Now please stop tickling me or I'll have a heart attack" I try to regain my breath while Niall lies back pleased with himself.

"I'll just go make my own breakfast" I stand up and walk through to the kitchen. Louis is already there with Eleanor eating some cereal. They both look up as I come in.

"Are you two done fighting then?" Louis asks smiling like a Cheshire Cat.

"We weren't fighting we were, having a disagreement" I defend us both to him. Louis rolls his eyes and continues eating.

"You and Niall are so cute, he's always in a good mood when you're around" Eleanor says sweetly. She is a really nice girl. It's horrible the amount of hate she gets just for being Louis Tomlinson's girlfriend. Niall told me she used to get really upset about it but now she gets it that often it doesn't bother her as much. That's just awful in my opinion. How can you treat another human being that horribly, especially someone as nice as Eleanor. I notice her smiling at me and realise I haven't said anything yet.

"Thanks Eleanor and Niall's normally in a good mood anyway, he's quite a jolly little fellow, I'm sure it's nothing to do with me" I reply as Niall walks in. He puts his arm around my shoulder and smiles lazily.

"What's this about Niall then?" He asks, amused by the conversation.

"I was just saying how happy you always are around Ashley" Eleanor answers him. He looks down at me smirking.

"Of course I am, she's my best friend" He places a kiss on the side of my head and takes a seat on the stool next to Louis. What a big softie he is.

"Aww Niall you make me very happy too" I say to him and take a bowl out of the cupboard. Crap, I forgot where the cereal is kept. I eventually find it and manage to successfully make my breakfast without any injuries. Thank goodness for that. After a while the others come down and join us and we quickly decide today will be a lazy day. So basically we plan to sit around in our pyjamas, watch films and eat food all day. I am not complaining.

Half way through our third movie my dad calls. I go to my room so I don't disturb the movie too much.

"Hey Dad" I say.

"Hey sweetie, how are you over in London?" He asks.

"I'm great dad, it's lots of fun, I got to go on the London eye can you believe it!" I forgot I hadn't told him that yet.

"I'm glad you're having a good time but I hope you remember you'll be starting college soon. That's why you're over there in the first place" he's using his serious tone as his way of telling me to get studying.

"I know that dad, I just want to enjoy myself for a bit before I start back, experience new things and all that" I can't believe he still thinks I'd be stupid enough to forget my studies. I just think I may as well enjoy it while I'm here. There's no point in coming to this amazing place just to study all the time. There has to be a balance between learning and living.

"Okay, just try not to spend all your time experiencing things sweetie" he mutters.

"Thanks dad. Just trust me okay" I say attempting to lighten the mood.

"Okay. I'll call you soon, bye" he ends the conversation.

"Bye" I reply before hanging up.

Great I've now been reminded I have College in just one day. One day! I better start preparing. I've been having so much fun I forgot why I'm here. This has just panicked me for tomorrow I am not ready for college yet. Not at all.

Hey!

What do you think of that chapter? It's quite short but that's because the last one was super long. I re-wrote this chapter so many times because I wasn't happy with it but get ready because like I said there are some great things coming!
