ASHTON

You gulped down your drink, watching him across the table. It was the third date and you still felt like you knew nothing but his name, but you really liked him so you didn't want to see things go downhill.

The waiter had taken your order, so now you just wait and wait...in an awkward silence. And that silence continued until you would finally break it.

"Look, Ashton, I don't know if I bore you or something-" He cut you off laughing,

"Uh, what's so funny?" Ashton shook his head,

"No nothing, it's not you trust me. I just am not good at these things"

"Good at what? Dinner?"

"No, no. Dates. I always feel like I'm going to say the wrong thing-"

"So you just don't talk at all?" You chuckled at him; you had to admit he was cute, even flustered and awkward. You both laughed as the waiter brought your food, but you let it go cold because he finally broke out of his shell.

CALUM

This was actually the first time you guys got to hang out alone. You had invited him over for pizza and a movie, but you ended up playing "Never Have I Ever." The non-dirty version to be exact. It had just been your turn and you stated,

"Never have I ever been to a different country." That put Calum down to two fingers while you still had three.

"Would you want to?" You sipped your drink as he asked you,

"Want to what?"

"Go to a different country?" It confused you, why he went off topic, but you still had to answer,

"I don't know, maybe," You shrugged. Calum put down his two fingers,

"Well, maybe you could come visit me...when I go on tour sometime." He spoke softly, afraid of what you would say. You were shocked,

"Really?"

"Yeah, why not, I'm a fun time." He wiggled his eyebrows, making you giggle. You found yourself blushing, hoping that when you would visit him, you would be more than just friends.

LUKE

You were ecstatic that the boys were finally doing tours, ever more so that you got tickets to see them. It was freezing cold, and as a way to show their gratitude, Luke and Michael came out to hand out hot chocolate to everyone.

"Here you go," Luke was the one to hand you the cup and you smiled, taking it from him.

"Thank you so much." He chuckled,

"You're welcome, just doing our duty. We really should be thanking you guys for waiting out here." You giggled at him,

"Excited for the show?" Just the fact that he was talking to you for this long was blowing your mind.

"Hell yes, you guys are amazing." You noticed how he blushed at the compliment.

"Uh, would you maybe wanna come hang out after the show?"

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah, I think it'd be fun."

"Well, I'm definitely not going to say no." You both laughed,

"Ok cool, um after the show, meet me by that door over there." You looked over at the door and nodded, too shocked that that just happened.

MICHAEL

"Do you always dip your chips like that?" You shot up from the chips and dip on the table and turned around, half the chip in your mouth, to see Michael smirking behind you. You chuckled, bringing your hand over your mouth while you finished chewing and swallowing the chip.

"What? It's not like I was double dipping." You returned his smirk,

"Well that's what it looked like! You always gotta get tons of dip on the chip and then make a sandwich." He sat down next to you as someone got up to change the music. You were dragged to a party by your friend and while she had a wonderful time, you were left to sit on the couch alone.

"Haha, I'm Y/N." You stuck out your hand and he shook it.

"Michael. So are you here with your boyfriend?" It was your turn to laugh.

"No," You began, "My friend. It looks like she's having tons of more fun though."

"Really? You seem like the life of the party!" You both fell into a fit of laughter. Maybe you weren't as alone as you thought.
