Niall's P.O.V

Before Aria left the park she agreed to hang out with me and the boys later at our hotel room. I really like hanging out with her and i think i might fancy her, but i want to get closer as friends first before i make any move. I'm also happy to see her again later, but I am a bit concerned because Harry is going to be there and I don't want her to feel uncomfortable; i'll have to keep an eye on him later tonight, but right now i'm going to take a quick shower and change before Aria arrives.

Aria's P.O.V

Niall said it was just hanging out at their hotel room, so I can dress comfortably yayyy. I would wear what i have on right now, but sadly i got ketchup on my overalls:( I decide to just throw on some light gray joggers and a plain white t-shirt with my favorite black toms. I then brushed my hair and put it in a loose braid. By the time i finished it was 5:30PM and my driver was already outside, so i grab my purple hoodie in case I get cold and my phone before heading out. The drive to the hotel is an hour long so I decide to go live on instagram.

People start joining immediately and in less than a minute there is already 70K people watching.

"Hey guys! I'm on my way to some friends hotel room but i got bored so Q & A time! Ask questions" i say to the camera. As soon as i said Q & A the comments flooded with questions about Niall and I.

@ everyonelovesaria94 : are you and Niall from one direction dating? also ILYY

"Hi @everyonelovesaria94: Niall and I are not dating, he is just a friend and i love you too!" i say to answer the question officially.

@ westanaria: any new songs soon?

" @westanaria yes! so excited for what's coming, we're working on a cool project right now stay tuned!" i respond excitedly.

I continue answering questions for about 10 more minutes before ending the live and just listen to music the rest of the car ride. When we get to the hotel I sneakily get in without being noticed by cameras and then go to the room number Niall gave me and knocked on the door with my hoodie in hand.

Harry's P.O.V

I heard a knock on the door and go to open it because the rest of the boys are busy playing video games. When i turn the knob to reveal who was knocking i find Aria awkwardly looking at the floor to avoid eye contact. I let her in and she just keeps her head down and speaks quietly.

"umm hey, where are the rest of the boys?" she mumbles as she nervously bites on her bottom lip.

"they're playing video games in the room down the hall to the left" i mutter before she quickly leaves the awkward situation.

She looks beautiful even though she's just in sweats and I still can't believe i made her feel otherwise. I'm the reason she hates herself and I hope with time, that I'll be able to change that.

After about thirty minutes of mentally preparing myself I finally man up and get ready to apologize, so I go to where she is with the rest of the boys to find her kicking their asses at the game. I chuckle lightly remembering how she would always win when we played together as kids. When i come back from the nostalgic memories I cough loudly to make my presence noticed.

"Umm Aria?" i say loud enough for her to hear.

"hm?" she responds focused on the video game.

"i really need to talk to you, it's important" i say seriously.

With that her head bolts in my direction and her expression fills with worry, it was clear that she started thinking of that night as soon as i spoke up. She got up and followed close behind me until we reached my shared bedroom with Louis and Niall. I closed the door behind us and we both sat on my bed. The awkward tension in the room was unreal, and i really hope it will leave soon before i suffocate.

"So there's something i've been meaning to tell you..." i say. She stays quietly and listens intently so i contiue speaking.

"I'm really sorry for everything i said that day, i didn't mean any of it. I was just drunk and angry and i took it out on you and i know that's no excuse but i'm truly sorry Ari." i say sentimentally.

"You don't have to apologize for telling me your opinion of me. You hate me and you were just trying to get your point across, its fine" she shrugs sadly, her eyes now glossy.

"I could never hate you, you've been the only one who had been there for me my entire life and i love you too much to ever hate you. And that's not my opinion of you, it never was. I was just angry and sad that you went to xfactor without me and i said horrible things that i never meant. I think you're amazing and none of what i said that day was acceptable or merely truthful. I was just an immature teen who was too self absorbed to see how my words could affect those i love the most." I said.

"So you don't hate me?" she said with hope in her eyes.

"Never did and never will. I've missed you so much these past three years Ari" i say with a smile, hoping she will return it.

"I've missed you more" she says with a small smile.

"Can we be best friends again?" I ask with my arms open for a hug.

"I thought you'd never ask, dimples" she says as her smile grew wider and she quickly accepted the hug.

A/N: Pretty short chapter but it was more of a filler than anything so don't hate lol. Hope you guys like it anyways:) Sorry if all the pov switching confused you!
