When Everything's Missing (A Niall Horan Love Story)

Chapter 1 - Long Time ; No See

**Chapter 1**

•Paige's POV•

There was a knock on my door.

"Go away mom!" I yelled. I hated when she tried to come in and hear about my life. Like she doesn't already know enough. The door opened anyway and the person came in, but it wasn't my mom. It was my bestest friend in the whole world.

"JENNA!" I jumped off the bed and ran to her. I tackled her in a huge Tomo hug almost knocking her off her feet. I looked at her and released, "Are all the boys here?!"

"Aw, Paige I missed you too. I didn't know what to do during the 6 months we were apart!" She said sarcastically, "Yes, they're all downstairs... Even Niall!" she gave me a wink before I shoved her aside and ran past her and sprinted downstairs to the living room with her right behind me. The boys were all lying in the couches... Sleeping?!?!

The heck?! No, there is no sleeping while Paige is here. Just then Louis entered the room with a bag of carrots in his hand. That boy loves his carrots.

"Louis!" I ran to him and tackled him with a hug as hug. He wrapped his arms around me for one of his brotherly hugs. My mom came in from the kitchen.

"Paige! Sh! The twins are still sleeping!" she said. I rolled my eyes and looked at the boys in the living room half tempted to wake them up...

"Go ahead. I know how much you want to. Besides, they can sleep later." Louis said as if reading my mind.

I smiled mischievously and made my way to the couches in the living room. Liam was asleep on one couch and Harry was asleep on he other. Niall was curled up in the recliner and Malik was sprawled out on the floor between the TV and the coffee table.

I went to Niall first. He was the closest. Me and Niall were the closest, even closer than me and Louis and sometimes, me and Jenna.

I snuck around the chair and pulled the lever that made the chair recline backwards. I scared the living day lights out of Niall.

"HORAN! YOU GET HOME AND YOU DON'T EVEN COME AND SEE ME? WHAT A FRIEND YOU ARE!"

He was still shocked when I went over to Harry to wake him up who was sleeping on one of the couches. I knelt down to his level and whispered in his ear, "Aww, look at Harry's curls," I saw a smile spread across his face at the recognition of his hair, "Too bad I'll have to straighten them if he doesn't wake up soon!" his smile vanished and he shot straight up.

I walked over to Zayn, "Yo, Malik! Ikea called, they want their table back.. Oh, and you can't buy anymore mirrors from there. They ran out." his eyes popped open. I laughed and went to Liam.

"LEE-YUMMMMM! GET UP! GET UP! I WANT ICE CREAM!" Before I knew it, Louis was next to me shaking Liam awake and yelling in his ear in his 5 year old girl voice because he now wanted ice cream. He was so my brother. Liam woke up not sure what to think. I stood in between Louis and Jenna and looked at the sight in front of me.

Niall somehow managed to fall asleep again. *sigh* Zayn had also fallen asleep. Liam was stretching to wake himself up and Harry got up off he couch and walked upstairs, obviously pissed at me.

"Harreh! I love YOUUUU!" I yelled.

He turned around and gave me the finger. I crossed my arms and looked up at Louis. He put his arm around me and reassured me, "Don't worry Paige. You know he can't stay mad at you forever."

This made me feel better because I knew this was true. He loved me and couldn't stay mad at me for more than a day.
