HAPPY NEW YEARS BITCHES!

What's your New Years Resolution? If you don't have one, what were past ones/why don't you make one?

I hoped you all liked the Hashton Christmas because I enjoyed writing it. Now back to the original story :)

~*Ashton's POV*~

A few more days passed as I gathered the last of my information. I had finished "stalking" Harry, with a bit of help from Calum. Every time we hung out together, I casually gathered information from him. However yesterday didn't go as well as I had expected it to.

~*Flashback*~

New Message: Calum
From Calum:
Hey! Let's hang today :P

To Calum:
Yeah sure dude, be over in a few.

I grabbed my keys looking quickly in the mirror making sure my hair looked alright. I thought about putting on a fedora but decided against it. Thoughts were running through my mind as I drove to Calum's. I didn't have all my information yet, maybe I could get it from him? No, that would be using Calum and I can't do that. Well, maybe a few questions would be okay. I have already asked some questions and he hasn't acted like it was odd so maybe a few more would be okay. I parked my car and walked into Calum's house, I knew he wouldn't mind.

"Calum?" I called out; there was silence for a few seconds followed by a loud crash "Shit!"
I followed the curse word to find Calum sprawled out over the floor with a sideways chair next to him. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Stop laughing" He whined.

"Okay, okay, sorry." I offered my hand and helped him up.

"What happened?" I asked.

"I heard you come in and I tried getting over to you but a chair jumped out in front of me before I could." He groaned, his cheeks tinting red with a slight blush.

"A chair jumped in front of you?"

"Uh, yes?" He said, making it sound like more of a question.

"I don't believe you but alright."

Calum gave me a playful shove and we went into his room to play video games. Typical hang out with him. "I got this new game." Calum said all excited. He looked like an excited puppy.

My amazing gaming skills totally creamed Calum in the game. Just kidding, I failed horribly.

"Why don't you invite Harry over?" I suggested. I smirked internally, thinking about how smooth I sounded.

"Why?" He asked, with a confused expression on his face.

That took me by surprise.

"He's your friend and I'd like to get to know him?"

"Do you like him?"

"What?" I wonder what made Calum think that.

"You do, don't you?" He smirked.

"Calum, calm down, It was just a question. I think I should go." I sighed and put the controller down.

~*Flashback Over*~

After that I went back to my temporary house and packed up to go home. I looked over my information and smiled. I'm sure Mr. Malik will be pleased with what I had found.
The next day I decided it was time to go home. I packed up my car and stored my information in the pocket of my suitcase to keep it safe. As I drove I sang as loud as I could with my music blasting even though I hated my singing voice. As I sang I noticed there was a dull buzzing sound coming from my pocket, signaling a new text message. It was from Calum.

From: Calum
Sorry for how I reacted, I don't know what came over me. Meet me for coffee today and I'll make it up?

I let out a groan, I was almost home and I never really told Calum I was leaving.

To: Calum
There was an emergency back home so I left this morning. I'll just forget yesterday happened. Maybe I'll come back someday and we can get coffee.

From: Calum
I didn't get to say good bye :( come visit sometime :)

I read the message and glanced back at the foggy road. There was a red glow and I had to squint to see what it was and why it was growing so fast. My eyes widened in realization and I slammed on the break. It was a red light, and I almost ran straight through it. A truck sped along right in front of me, if I hadn't stopped, it would've hit me. I shuddered as I let out a huge breath I hadn't realized I was holding. The light changed back to green as I slowly moved forward. I threw my phone into the backseat and paid closer attention to the road.

I managed to make it safely home and I unpacked my car, starting to move my things into the house. I was walking towards the front door when I noticed a shadow behind the door walking down my hallway. There's someone in my house. Well this past hour sure has been exhilarating. I walked in quietly and grabbed a baseball bat which was conveniently placed by the door and slowly mad my way through the house towards the intruder. When I was close enough to the intruder, I raised the bat above my shoulders ready to swing as I pushed the kitchen door open.

"Ahhhh!" The person screamed and I swung the bat hitting them in the head hearing a sharp crack as it made contact. They almost immediately dropped to the floor and walked closer to the now unconscious Intruder, groaning as I realized who it was.

"What the fuck Niall." I mumbled even though I knew he couldn't hear me.

I picked him up and took him to my bedroom laying him down. I grabbed some Advil and a glass of water for when he woke up. I knew I hadn't hit him too hard but I looked at his head anyway making sure, there won't be any brain damage or bleeding. I sat on the other side of my bed and laid back. It wasn't very late so I figured I should tell my boss I'm back. I sat back up as I dialed the all to familiar number, putting the phone to my ear as I made my way out of the room.

"Hello?" A gruff voice answered.

"Hey Zack, it's me."

"It's about time. Get all the information?"

"Yeah and I'll drop it off tomorrow."

"Good."

I hung up the phone and walked back into my room waiting for Niall to wake up. I grabbed my book and decided to read until the annoying Irish bastard moved. I put on my glasses, laid back on the bed and calmly read through my book until a familiar groan was heard. I set my book down on and looked over at the now awake Niall.

"You're awake." I noted.

"And you're a dick."

"You broke into my house."

"It's basically my house too."

Which was true, Niall was over here most of the time.

"I didn't know you were here otherwise I wouldn't have hit you with a baseball bat."

"Sorry I didn't write you a note." Niall grumbled, rubbing his head.

"It's on your left." I answered his unspoken question. He grabbed the medicine and taking it swiftly with the water.

"I'm going back to sleep." He mumbled sleepily and fell back asleep.

I rolled my eyes and got changed and ready for bed. It's been a long tiring day.
