NEW YEARS DAY
*********************************************************************************************
Niall's P.O.V

"When do you want me to take that thing down?" I asked as I sat staring at the small glistening white tree in the corner of the hospital room. I looked to Lexi, she shrugged.
"I don't know, I wish I could keep it up forever. It's just the closest thing to nature I could have in this zip lock bag of a Hospital." she said smiling clutching my hand. I bit my lip rubbing it softly. "It kinda reminds me of you every time I look at it." she said giggling.
"What? Because I spent 30 minutes moving it into the right spot?" I asked chuckling.
"Well yeah sort of." she said yawning.
"Tired?" I asked still rubbing her hand.
"Yeah, I'm so thankful for last night, your friends are amazing I just want to remember last night forever that was the best new years I've ever had. Harry and Louis are amazing." She smiled. I smirked at her.
"Yeah they are. I hope everything works out with Olive and that." I said staring out the window and beyond. Some how in all this trouble and ruin throughout our little Direction family all of our lives seem to slowly be coming together. Maybe everything will be OK.

Liams P.O,V

I smiled at the waitress and handed her the money for the coffee.
"Keep the change." I said winking at her, she contained a squeal obviously recognizing me and put the money in the till. I spun on my heel and shook my head slightly making my way towards a table.

After about half an hour of staring at the wall and slowly drinking on what seemed like a tasteless coffee. I had a sudden feeling of someone staring at me. My eyes flicked up to see a girl with purple hair and glasses that seemed far to big for her face switch views from me back to her magazine. I smiled at her and waited for her to look up again, I began to realize I was staring, taking in and observing her every feature. She put down her magazine and glanced up and caught her eye on me. She smiled at me shyly.
"Hi" I smiled. Lifting my eye brows.
"Hi" She said. I put my phone in my pocket and walked over to her table.
"Anyone sitting here?" I asked holding the back of the chair.
"No." She said trying to eye me through my glasses. I sat down and felt the urge to take off my glasses but left them on.
"I'm Rain. Rain Waters." She said closing her magazine. I couldn't help but smile at her name. "Don't laugh, I hate my name Just as much as you do." She giggled sending shivers down my spine.
"I don't hate it, I actually thought it was kinda cute." I smirked at her.
"You know your not fooling anyone with that disguise. I could tell your voice anywhere." I nodded my head sadly.
"Let me guess your just another obsessed fan girl who is going to tweet about this as soon as I leave?" I asked disappointingly.
"OK, No. I'm not obsessed with you I like your music and to be honest anyone who would do that does not respect your privacy and cant be a very good fan."She stated as she sipped on her coffee. I sighed of relief.
"Well, at least your considerate its hard to find people who are when your face is plastered on every magazine and poster." I said pointing to my face on her magazine.
"But there is quiz in here that tells you "Which Single 1D Member Is Your Match?" which the only one at the moment is you." She laughed
"Your forgetting about Zayn." I said awkwardly.
"I'm not stupid. Zayn's got someone he's happy and himself again. After that aweful breakup with Perrie (AN: I CAN PREDICT THE FUTURE) I'm surprised hes back." she explained, I bit my lip hoping that she was the only who had figured it out.
"Uh, I cant say anything but nice analogy."I stated cautiously. She nodded sheepishly.
"Can I ask you a Question?" She said looking up.
"Uh, I guess." I said
"Are you OK?" She said searching my eyes.
"Never better." I lied.
"OK, I'm going to choose to believe you." She said honestly.
"Thanks." I said great fully as she knew I couldn't tell her anything about my private life. "So, Where are you from?" I asked changing the subject.
"I was born In Brighton but moved to London When I finished High School." She smiled looking into my eyes. "And so you don't have to ask, I'm 21." She chuckled. I breathed.
"Ya Know how ironic it is that your name Is Rain Waters and you have blue eyes." I said looking through her glasses into her eyes.
"Yeah I do." she sighed, I realized how much crap she must get for her name and backed off. "You keep looking at them. What are you an Optometrist?" she giggled.
"Yes, Teenage Heart throb by day, Optometrist by night." I said sarcastically, she laughed sending shivers down my spine.
"OK, Tell me something about yourself?" She asked re-positioning her hands to under the table.
"You mean something the rest of the world doesn't know." i stated. she gestured for me to continue. I kept wishing I could tell her I was Bisexual. "I hate Birds."
"OK, what about something else?" she asked, I shook my head.
"You know I can't tell you anything interesting without getting in trouble." I sighed, she nodded understandably.
"So how do you feel about Lou and Harry coming out?" she asked. I took myself back, why is she asking all these questions, it's like someones inter- then it hit me. I looked under the table her phone sat in her hands pointed at me.
"Why have you got your phone in your lap?" I asked.
"I was just checking the time." she said putting her locked phone on the table confused.
"Sorry, I'm just used to people recording everything I do." I turned looking round, I noticed the people at the table behind Me staring at me with their phones pointed at me videoing me. I groaned. "Seriously?" I sighed shaking my head I got up.
"Wait where are you going?" Rain asked looking up at me acting confused,
"Don't play dumb with me." I said pushing my chair backwards and storming out of the cafe. I began walking down the pavement when Rain ran out in front of me.
"Liam, Stop." I shook my head. "I don't even know those girls." I frowned.
"Then why did they know It was me?" I Asked. "You must have told them."
"No, I don't know how they knew it was you, maybe that waitress you were flirting with told them." She chuckled. I felt a drop of water on my head and looked up as it began to rain. "I promise I don't know those girl. I would never do that." She Said putting her hand on my arm.
"OK!" I yelled over the Rain smashing on the Concrete. "But can we get out of the rain?" I yelled.
"Really? I thought it was kind of romantic." She smiled, I looked at her confused.
"Romant-" I asked confused as she cut me off placing a small kiss on my lips. I was taken back a bit in surprise I looked at her confused.
"Too soon?" She yelled over the rain as we continued to be soaked.
"Nope." I smiled Leaning down and kissing her again. I grabbed her arm and pulled us out of the rain under the veranda of the building.

Harry's P.O.V

I woke to the sound of a baby crying as Louis tugged on my arm.
"Harry." He wined.
"Na ah Louis, it's your turn." I protested looking over to him.
"Ugh fine, Give me a kiss." Louis said over the high pitched crying.
"Not until you go get her." I said eyeing him. He groaned and turned around getting out of the bed and leaving the room. A few minutes later Louis walked in the room shirtless and holding Olive. He walked over to my side. I sat up and took her from his hands. I kissed him and looked at him awkwardly.
"What?" He asked confused.
"Why are you shirtless?" I asked plainly. He looked down at his bare chest and chuckled.
"Olive wasn't feeling to well...." He trailed, I chuckled.
"Babe." I chuckled. I put my hand on his chest leaving Olive in one arm and lent over and kissed him again.
"OK, Breakfast time." Louis said gently taking Olive from my hands and taking her down stairs as I walked into the bathroom.
