Let's Pretend it's Love

Chapter 9- I Wish That Was Me

**HANNAH'S POV HOURS BEFORE NEW YEARS**

I can't believe Mary and Leah did this for me. It was so unexpected too. I also couldn't believe Leah was here also.

"HANNAH! LETS DANCE!" Leah pulled me onto to the dance floor. Okay, so we were a little tipsy.

Me and Leah grabbed Mary on the way to the dance floor and started to throw our bodies around. We would trip and fall down occasionally but that didn't stop us. Mary was tapped on the shoulder by Liam who just pulled her over. Leah and I went back to go get the boys.

Harry and Louis were making dirt Angels on the ground and Niall and Beau were running around like baboons.

The song, "Good Time" came on and I pushed Zayn and Jai to come dance with Leah and I.

Zayn was completely trashed and Jai was about to become wasted if he had another drink.

We started to dance, I was with Jai and Leah was with Zayn. We couldn't stop laughing. We all were letting the alcohol take control. Jai lifted me onto his shoulders while he bounced up and down. It was not the safest spot to be in.

"Let's go take shots!" Jai slurred. I hopped off his back and we raced all the way to the bar.

Niall and Louis were at the bar with Harry. Harry was out of it and he was doing cartwheels, well attempted to on the table.

"Come on Zayn, break tables with me!" Harry fell off the table and groaned.

"Shots for all please." Jai pointed at the bar tender.

"Hannah, I love this new side of you!" Leah laughed.

"Oh girl, me too." I laughed with her. All of the sudden I felt someone wrap their arm around my shoulder.

"One more hour.." I turned around and it was Niall. My heart skipped a beat when he kissed my cheek.

Jai passed us our shots and we took them.

"HAPPY ALMOST BIRTHDAY HANNAH!" We downed the shots. And then after that, I lost count on how many we all took.

Suddenly the world started to spin and I was happier than usual and a lot more clumsier.

"These heels are killing me.." I complained.

"Here." Niall picked me up and sat me down on a stool. He took of my heels and threw them in a corner.

Louis and Niall asked Leah and I to dance with them. I looked around and I saw Mary and Liam talking. Can't they just fuck, and fall in love already?

Leah started to run to the dance floor but ended up wiping out. I started to run after her to help but my body wouldn't stop. I tripped over her and went flying.

"HAHAHAHA!" I heard Niall laugh.

"Help me up dimwit." I held out my hand and when he grabbed it, I pulled him down like I did so on our first date.

"Better remember that little trick for next time, because you seem to forget!" I winked.

"Next time, eh?" He blushed. I looked down feeling slightly embarrassed I said that out loud.

Niall and I started to dance. This was the best night of my life.

We danced hours on end. Every now and then we would go back to drink more and more. I was completely trashed.

"Guys!! When's the party? I HAVE TO GET READY!" I started to flip out.

"Oh silly girl! We're at the party!" Niall stumbled trying to walk over by me. Wait, how many Niall's are there?

"Woah, where's Mary?" Leah tried to turn her head but ended up collapsing.

"Settle down there horsey." Louis laughed an helped her get up.

"I want a tattoo." Zayn slurred.

"ME TOO! I want a penguin my cheek. And not the face cheek." Harry winked.

"I CALL DOING IT!" Louis raised his hand.

"I'm so beautiful." Zayn said out loud but not realizing it due to the alcohol.

"Remember, drunk words are sober thoughts." Niall patted Zayns cheeks.

"WELL THEN TELL HANNAH HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT HER!" Harry screamed.

"Do you want me to cut off your balls?" Niall asked.

**NIALL'S POV**

At midnight, I'm going to kiss Hannah. No matter what. I'm getting really nervous. What if she doesn't like me after it? What if she doesn't kiss back? What if she backs off? All these questions are running through my mind.

It's only half and hour before midnight and there are butterflies swarming through my stomach. I feel like I'm going to puke!

I can't pay attention to their conversation anymore because I can't focus. I just can't wait to kiss her.

I want to call her mine but I can't. We will be heading our separate ways and we won't see each other for two months and I don't think I can do that to her.

"10 MORE MINUTES BEFORE I AM AN ADULT!" She started to do a cute little happy dance.

WAIT. 10 more minutes until I kiss her!

Everyone started to huddle around the dj who was counting down with us.

I hope all goes well.

**HANNAHS POV**

I couldn't really think straight right now, but one thing for sure is that I hope Niall will kiss me at midnight. I'm too afraid to make the move myself so I'm literally praying right now that he kisses me.

3 minutes.

**NIALL POV**

3 minutes. My hands are shaking my palms are sweaty. I swear butterflies are making babies in my stomach.

2 minutes. Shit, shit, shit. What if she doesn't want me to kiss her! Should I do it? Yes! Don't be a pussy!

We all started to count down to midnight. Hannah was jumping up and down. Guess she was excited to become an adult.

10, 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2..

"HAPPY NEW YEARS!"

I turned to kiss her, but Jai beat me to it.

Fuck.
