A New Beginning

Movie Night/The Walk

The hot water felt nice against my skin. I stood there for a minute, letting the water run over my face and down my back. As the water hit my face, I made sure to let it run over my eye. I was hoping the hot water would maybe help the swelling go down some. I got out and toweled myself off, slipping on a robe. I walked back into my room to find something comfy to wear. I decided on an old pair of my brother’s boxers and a cute tank top. I didn’t bother drying my hair; I just tied it up in a messy bun. I sat on my bed with my laptop trying to find that song I had heard. I found a video on YouTube and clicked play. My mouth dropped open. I saw Zayn and Niall walking into a room with three other guys. My first thought was “I can’t believe Niall didn’t say anything about being in a band,” not that it mattered but it would have been nice to know. My second thought was “Holy crap, Zayn is really hot and his voice is amazing.” I heard footsteps and quickly shut it off. Zayn poked his head around the corner.

“What were you doing?” he asked

“Nothing” I said guiltily and he laughed a little. That laugh again….

“Ok, well, everyone else is ready when you are.” He said before turning to walk back downstairs. I must have taken a longer shower than I thought, because everyone else had already had one and was waiting in the kitchen. I plopped down on one end of the sofa and got comfy.

“So, what are we watching first?” I asked from the living room.

“Well, we have Paranormal Activity 3, Insidious, Grease, Grease 2, The Amazing Spiderman, Ted, Fright Night 2011, or Total Recall 2011.” Niall said walking into the living room and sitting on the other couch. Iris walked in and sat behind him, followed by Zayn who sat on the couch I sat on.

“Let’s save the scary stuff for when it’s darker” Zayn said. I nodded at his comment.

“Grease it is, then” Iris said laughing. She put the movie in and cut the lights off. About half way through the movie the doorbell rang. Niall shot up to get it. It was the pizza. He paid the delivery guy and returned to the living room. He sat the pizza on the coffee table and went to the kitchen to get plates and napkins. We all grabbed a slice or two and ate while watching the movie. A while later Grease was over but it was still early and barely getting dark outside.

“So, Spiderman, Ted or Grease 2?” I asked

“Spiderman” Niall said and got up to change movies. After we finished that movie, it was dark outside so we decided to watch a scary movie before going to bed. We chose Paranormal Activity 3. The lights remained off, so it was even scarier. Normally horror movies didn’t scare me, but in my state of mind I wasn’t so sure. I glanced at Zayn on the other end of the couch and decided to ask him to sit with me just in case.

“Hey, would you mind sitting with me in case I get scared. Normally I don’t get scared, but I think I might since things have been weird and rough lately.” I said shyly.

“Sure.” He said with a smile. He slid over to where I was. Iris glanced at me with a smirk on her face. I made a mad face at her and turned my head to the TV. I was right, lol. At the first sign of the ghost, I nearly jumped off the couch. Niall busted out laughing at me.

“Don’t laugh at me. I haven’t seen this movie like some people” I said. I adjusted my position on the couch beside Zayn and he scooted a little closer. I blushed and looked at the TV. Niall finally stopped laughing a minute later. A few more minutes into the movie and I jumped again, but instead of jumping off the couch, I jumped towards Zayn. I must have startled him, because his arm shot up and hit my face close to my eye.
