Chapter 7: The Trip

<Niall's P.O.V >

I woke up early the next morning. Looking at my phone, I saw that it was 9:45. That was way too early for me.

Wait, December 25th? Wasn't today Christmas or something?

Although I was a little too old to jump around and cheer, I still did. I jumped out of bed, grabbed my phone, and sprinted to the living room.

Everybody was up; Except Zayn. He was still sleeping. Harry, Louis, Liam, and Mia were gathered on the sofa around the tree.

Shit, I forgot to get Mia a present....

"Good mornin' sleepy head!" Louis called over to me. "Great to see you finally woke up!"

"Well Zayn is still-" I protested.

"Hey, Niall, can I talk to you?" Mia asked me, and the room fell silent. All the lads were staring at me, I'm sure of it.

"Um... Yeah. In my flat?" I asked her. She nodded and followed me out of the room.

I slowly walked into the living area, pausing to close the door behind us. "Hey look, Niall, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-" she started.

"Mia, is that all we do anymore? Apologize? I know I offended you. I admit it, and I'm sorry. You have nothing to be sorry about. You were just being protective. I get it. 100%. Just tell me you didn't like what I said to you." I said, looking into her big brown eyes.

She gave up and shrugged her shoulders. "Okay. Fine. I didn't like what you said to me. But still, I shouldn't have-"

"Mia...You're doing it again..."

She started to laugh. "Okay, fine. I didn't like what you said. That's it." and she tried to keep a straight poker face. I started to laugh at her. She was so cute when she tried to be serious. "Niall! It's not funny!"

I was laughing at her for a while, then she began laughing. "Okay... Maybe just a little..." She said, showing me just how much with her fingers.

"Well, then, if that's funny, you might think the fact that I don't have any presents for you is just a little," I said, mimicking her fingers, "bit funny!"

She sat up from laughing and glared at me. "What?!?" she asked, trying to be funny.

"But.... I was thinking we could maybe go on a shopping spree later this afternoon..." And the excitement came back to her eyes.

"Really?" She asked, giving me the puppy dog eyes.

"Why not?"

Then there was a knock at the door. "Hellllllllllooooo? Mia, Niall, you in there?" I heard Liam's voice yell.

"Yes!" We both called at the same time. "Psych!"

Psych was something we did when we said the same thing... Or when we said something and didn't really mean it; like 'I'm gonna give you the last pizza Niall!' and right when he went to grab it, 'Psych!' and you eat it. It was actually pretty fun. (SIKE is how you say it if you didn't know.)

Liam walked in, carrying Mia's sleek black Mac-book Pro, and her other bags. "The police went to Bryan's this morning. And they brought back these!"

Mia jumped up and went to grab them. "It's a Christmas Miracle!" and ran to her room to put them away.

"What happened to Bryan?" I asked, standing up.

"Oh, yes. He was arrested, apparently they had been looking for him for a while... I don't know how he was hired at that studio a while back... Anyway, you and Mia make-up?" Liam questioned.
