Chapter 10

Beth's P.O.V.

Harry and Christina got home from their "hangout" at about 10. The boys said they went to a game but I still had no idea what they were talking about. They kind of lacked detail when it came to describing things. Christina burst through the door while we were all sitting at the kitchen table. 

"BETH, ERICA, KAELYN! UPSTAIRS! HI BOYS!" she yelled, not stopping to take a breath. We laughed and got up from the table running after her. All of the boys apprently already knew that Harry was going to ask her out. We rushed to the room which her and I shared. Erica used to share with us but since her and Liam have gotten into a relationship, she sleeps with him. 

"Harry asked me to be his girlfriend!" she cheered. We all yelled congratulations and jumped on her for a hug. 

"Did he get you anything?" Erica asked, pulling away from the hug. I shot her a glare. 

"Erica, you don't just ask that!" I smacked her playfully on the arm. 

"Well," Christina started, "He took me to an Italy vs. England soccer game and got me tickets to meet and get autographs from the Juventus team!" 

"Holy!" Kaelyn yelled, standing there in astonishment.

"How did he ask you out?" I asked. 

"Okay here's the full story. I was sitting there alone because he said he was going to get snacks but all of the sudden, I hear my name echo through the arena and look up at the jumbo-screen to a video of harry explaining that he wanted to date me when I moved here. Then I looked down and he was on one knee with the meet-and-greet passes to the Juventus team," she was shaking with excitement. 

We all stood there as our jaws hit the floor. I don't know how the boys did it, but they always managed to think of the most creative ways to ask a girl out.

Just then, Taylor burst through the door looking just as happy as Christina. 

"What's up with you?" I asked, giggling. 

"ZAYN ASKED ME TO BE HIS GIRLFRIEND!" She screamed and showed us the beautiful ring he got her. 

"Oooooooh," We all said.

"When did this happen?" I yelled. 

"2 DAYS AGO!"

"AND YOU NEVER TOLD US?!" We all yelled. 

She backed off a little, "I wanted to wait.. sorry," We all hugged her with happiness. I guess she just wanted to wait until after a couple dates with him, which I'm guessing she just got back from one. 

"Christina, why are you so happy? Taylor asked, finally calming down from all the excitement. 

"Harry asked me to be HIS girlfriend!" Taylor's calmness suddenly faded as they jumped into a hug. 

Erica's P.O.V. 

It was about 11:30pm when we all finally went to bed but I stayed downstairs to do the dishes. Niall was grabbing something to eat before he went to bed. 

"Hey, Erica?" Niall asked.

"Yeah, Niall?" I asked turning around. 

"Can I ask you something? Kind of... secret?" he hesitated.

"Of course, Niall, anything," I said sincerely, turning the water off and turning around completely to show him that he has my full attention. 

"Okay, well, um, Beth and I have been friends for 7 years now, right?" He paused. I could tell where this was going. 

"Yeah," I said, signalling for him to continue. 

"Well, every time I see her, I get this feeling in my stomach... I just want to be more then friends. But I'm scared she'll say no and things will just become awkward," he finished off. 

"I think you should tell her," I said without hesitation. I knew what was best for my best friends and that was it. It wasn't like they jumped straight into a relationship. They looked and acted like a couple, so they might as well be one. 

"You think so?" He asked, finishing off his strawberries. 

"I do. I think it would be the most amazing thing ever. I'm going to bed. Goodnight, Niall," I said and walked upstairs. 

"Night," he replied. I saw a huge smile on his face as I walked out of the kitchen. 

Niall's P.O.V.

I stood there thinking if I should really go for it. I was so scared. But since we were going back to Ireland, and we were alone, I could ask her there. Erica even said, she thinks it would be the best for us. I'm pretty sure it would please a lot of people too. But then doubt started to set in. She probably doesn't even like me. I'm probably just a friend to her. I ended my thoughts before they made the decision for me. 

Beth's P.O.V. 

I lay there thinking why everyone had a boyfriend but me. Niall would never ask me out. We're too close. But I really did start to like him. No, Beth, snap out of it. Nothing more than friends. We were neighbors when I moved to Ireland and that's how we became so close. I didn't believe that he would ever want to be anything else. I drifted off into  a deep sleep with that being the last thing on my mind.
