STEPHANIE'S POV
I lay on my back on my bed, my hair hanging off the edge as I told Margo about what had happened last night,
"I don't know what to do, cause I mean, I like him. I do, but I just got here, I mean JUST and I just don't know." I told her as I finished. Margo studied me from the chair in the corner,
"Well, I think you should follow your heart," She told me, I groaned and rolled over,
"That's so cheesy Margo," I told her, she giggled,
"It might be cheesy but it's true," She shrugged,
"You think?" I asked,
"I know," She smiled,
"You wanna head over there?" I asked, she nodded but before I could even sit up the door burst open.
"HI GUYS!" Louis shouted as he ran in. I clutched my chest, since Lou had scared the wits out of me,
"Holy crap Lou, you scared me!" I said, he walked over to the bed and messed up my hair,
"Sorry, Stephy-bear," He grinned, obviously not sorry one bit.
"Stephy-Bear?" I asked him, he nodded,
"New nickname, you like?" He asked,
"Not necessarily," I admitted, Margo laughed,
"Are you gonna come over? Nialler's getting impatient, he wants to see his princess," Louis teased,
"Shut it Lou, I probably wrecked things last night," I snapped at him, he frowned,
"What do you mean?" He asked, sitting down on the bed,
"I told him I don't want to date right now last night. Cause I just got here and all, he looked crushed," I told him, he sighed,
"Niall's still head over heels for ya, he doesn't shut up about you. 'She's perfect, she's beautiful, blah, blah, blah,'" He said, imitating Niall, I cracked a smile, "Now come on! Let's go!" I looked over at Margo and she nodded. I stood and fixed my hair,
"Let's go," I nodded,

MARGO'S POV
Stephanie and I followed Louis through the gate to the bungalow where the boys sat chatting about a soccer game they had seen on TV,
"We're baaaccckkk!" Louis sang as we walked in, They boys all greeted us and I plopped down next to Zayn, who smiled widely at me,
"Hey Margo," He said,
"Hullo Zayn," I replied, trying not to blush. I couldn't help it; he was just so gorgeous,
"How are you?" He asked, I shrugged,
"I'm ok, you?" I asked him,
"Same," he replied, I nodded,
"Cool," I replied, and that ended our awkward little conversation for the moment. I glanced across the room where Stephanie was talking with Niall, smiling like I'd never seen her smile before. She had this animated look in her eyes, like she was truly happy to see Niall. Niall looked like he was just purely happy to see Steph; they would be so perfect together.
"Earth to Margo," Zayn said, waving his hand in front of my face,
"Huh?" I asked, turning to look at him, he laughed at the confused look that must've been on my face,
"I was asking if you wanted to go play some FIFA with me and Liam." He told me, I shrugged,
"Sure, I'm crap at video games though," I told him, he stood,
"Come on, you'll get the hang of it," He told me. I smiled and stood up, following him and Liam into the other room.

STEPHANIE'S POV
Margo had left with Liam and Zayn to play video games and Louis had went off to do who knows what so it was just me and Niall on the couch,
"Where's Harry?" I asked him scanning for the curly hair,
"Off at Juliette's, she was under the weather so he went to take care of her," Niall told me,
"Aw, how sweet," I said, Niall smiled and I leaned against his shoulder. I felt him stiffen, then relax again when I did,
"How was school today?" He asked,
"Let's just say, I can't wait until winter break," I told him, he laughed,
"That's how many weeks away?" He asked me,
"Two," I frowned, He smiled,
"I'm sure you'll make it," He told me,
"Mhm," I muttered, we sat there for a little while in a comfortable silence, not sure of what to say next. Last night flashed through my head; I did like Niall, he was the sweetest guy I had ever met. And I wanted to date him, I was just afraid of the attention I'd get and with him being famous I just didn't know how it would work out,
"So the lads and I are gonna start recording tomorrow," Niall told me, breaking the silence,
"Awesome, I hope it all goes well," I told him, looking down at my hands,
"I thought you could tag along," He said,
"Really?" I asked him, he nodded,
"Yeah, the boys and I agreed that you're trustworthy enough to not reveal anything so we asked if we could bring you and our management said yes," he told me, I smiled up at him,
"That sounds like fun," I said, he nodded, the silence returned. I listened to the boys and Margo playing FIFA next door. Shouts came, both of victory and defeat, I couldn't help but giggle. Niall laughed too and we both looked at each other again,
"I think Zayn lost," Niall said as he listened, I nodded before adjusting on the couch to lay my head on Niall's shoulder,
"Steph, about yesterday…" Niall said,
"What about it?" I asked him,
"I just thought you didn't want to date me yet," He said, I sighed,
"I want to date you, I just…don't want the attention," I said to him,
"We don't have to go public until you're comfortable with it," He told me, I sat and looked at him,
"But what happens when you have to go on tour?" I asked,
"I don't know honestly," Niall admitted, "but we'll figure that out," He told me, staring at me with his bright blue orbs. I twisted my hands nervously,
"I want to say I'll be your girlfriend so badly, but I'm so nervous things will go bad," I sighed, placing my head in my hands,
"Like I said, you don't have to say yes unless you're ready," Niall said. My phone buzzed, I sighed and answered it,
"Hullo?" I answered,
"Hi honey!" My mom's usual cheerful tone piped through the speaker, "What are you up to?" She asked,
"I'm just hanging out with my new friends," I told her,
"Oh you have friends already? That's fantastic honey!" She told me, I sighed,
"What did you need Ma?" I asked her,
"Oh right, I just needed to tell you that I'm visiting in two weeks when you're on break and I have big news," She told me,
"Ok mom," I told her, rolling my eyes. She had already told me this, why did she have to remind me of everything at least twice?
"Well I'll let you go now honey, have fun. I love you!" She told me,
"Love you too mom," I said, hanging up. I turned back to Niall, "Sorry,"
"It's alright, but what do you say?" He asked me, I sat there, the pros and cons ran through my mind. Niall was a super sweet guy but I just met him and he's freaking famous. I sighed and looked at him, he looked pale, he was probably super nervous. I decided that maybe the pros outweighed the cons,
"I'm gonna say yes," I told him. His face lit up with a smile,
"So then we're dating?" He asked,
"We are," I nodded; cheers came from behind the bedroom door and Liam, Zayn and Margo all ran out and jumped on us, they must've been eavesdropping. I screamed as Margo fell onto me,
"Yayyy!" She shouted in my ear, I laughed as Zayn and Liam ruffled Niall's hair and shouted at him. Niall caught my eye and winked at me, I was definitely glad I chose to say yes.

JULIETTE'S POV
I felt like crap, my nose was stuffed up and I couldn't stop coughing. I was lying in bed, surrounded by tissues when Harry walked in,
"Hey Juliette," he said, as I rolled over to look at him,
"Hi Harry, what are you doing here?" I asked I realized I probably looked like crap, oh well I guess,
"We were supposed to hang out today remember?" He asked, cracking a smile,
"Well, I'm sick," I said, gesturing to the tissues,
"So I came to take care of you," He said,
"You don't have to Harry, I don't want you to get sick too," I sniffled; my voice reminded me of a frog's croak it was so scratchy.
"I'll take that risk," He said, sitting down on the edge of the bed and pulling stuff out of a bag. Movies, popcorn, Monopoly, "What do you want to do?" he asked me, fixing his curly brown locks,
"Watch Mean Girls," I told him, pointing at the movie in the stack. He grinned and went to go put it in. He disappeared to pop some popcorn for a second and I quickly put my hair up and made sure I didn't have anything on my face. I hopped back into bed as he brought the popcorn back and he sat next to me in bed,
"Ready?" he asked, I nodded and he pressed play. I watched the movie tiredly; I hadn't gotten much sleep the night before. Before I knew it, I was leaning on Harry's arm and drifting off slowly. I fell asleep to Harry humming the slow tune of a lullaby.

STEPHANIE'S POV
I was sitting in my room later with Margo and Jessica, who had shown up at my house a couple hours ago. Louis had been happy to see her again,
"So I was at school the other day and I got this text and guess who it was from? Louis!" She told us, I leaned over to Margo and whispered,
"Good thing Mia couldn't make it, or we'd never get a word in," Margo laughed as Jessica told us the story of Lou's text. I listened along in a good mood, occasionally commenting on this or that. But truly my mind was elsewhere, I was thinking about Niall; his smile, his eyes, his laugh, his voice, they all played through my mind. I was so glad he was mine. Margo went and told about her FIFA match with Zayn and how she had beaten him. Jessica laughed when she explained how Zayn had tried to mess her up, but she had scored anyways. I relaxed on my bed as we told stories. I hadn't been sure about England at first, but now I had friends and a boyfriend. I was thinking it wasn't so bad. We all decided to go to bed at 1:00 am and I fell asleep quickly, it had been a long day.
