I woke up the next morning with a bunch of text messages blown up on my screen, most of them coming from Zayn, only two coming from Harry and one from Ashton, my best friend.

I groaned as I got up, not even bothering to look in the mirror based on the memories of last night flooding through my mind. I decided to take a shower, taking my mind off of what happened with Harry.

Hello there, the angel from my nightmare

The shadow in the background of the morgue

The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley

We can live like Jack and Sally if we want

Where you can always find me

We'll have Halloween on Christmas

And in the night we'll wish this never ends

We'll wish this never-

A loud smash was heard from my room, causing me to stop singing and pause for a moment.

"Mum" I said, mostly to myself.

I quickly got out, wrapping a towel around my waist as I ran back into my room. I began to laugh when I saw Ashton standing over a broken picture frame.

"M' sorry mate, I tried to sneak into your room and not wake ya mum but I kinda fell and uh-"

He looks at me then glances at the broken glass surrounding the photo.

"It's fine Ash, not a big deal."

I walked over to the picture and picked up the photo. It was an old photo of me and my brother, Greg. He passed away two years ago in a car accident, and my parents never got over that. Greg had a lot going on, getting married, moving to a house in the Hampton's, life was pretty good for him until that one, unfortunate day.

I smiled sadly as I placed it on my drawer, picking up the broken glass with my hands.

"Niall! Use a broom or something, your going to cut yourself by doin' that."

"It's alright Ash, a bit of glass never hurt nothin."

Ashton scoffed and threw his hands up in the air, jumping onto my bed.

He was always like a younger brother to me, but also act like he was my father, telling me to be careful and to take precaution on certain things.

"So, what's new in your life?" He asked, mindlessly reading through a playboy magazine (for men of course).

I continued to pick up some glass.

"Nothing...well..."

Ashton quickly hopped to the other side of the bed to where I was, gripping my shoulders and shaking me.

"O-M-G who's the lucky guy?! This is great, I knew you'd find another-"

"He's just a friend" I laughed, slowly taking his hands away from my shoulders.

A smirk spread across Ashton's face.

"For now" He murmured, loud enough for me to here.

I rolled my eyes and threw the glass into the trash can next to my bed.

"Hey Ni? Wanna go bowlin' or somethin'? We haven't hung out in a while like we use to."
