Louis(Fiction-boy pov): I woke up alone, something I been having to do for a couple weeks now. I hate having to wake up to an empty bed, not having Y/N next to me, but what I hate most is having to admit it. Looking at my life now and what it was a merely 4 weeks ago is just pathetic. I don’t even feel like getting out of bed anymore, if Y/N isn’t coming what’s the point? I’ve sent her countless text messages and voicemails, and I think she has gotten her point across that she doesn’t want to see me. Her voice saying that she loved me is still buzzing through my head as I pick up my phone to send her my daily texts. Why didn't I say it back? I knew that I loved her or at least the closest thing I could get to love. In all honesty I couldn’t figure out who I was without her. “Please Y/N. I need you. xx” I hit send. Moments later I hear my phone begin to ring and immediately pick it up, not bothering to look at the caller ID. “Louis?” she says through the line. “Y/N???” I ask in disbelief, has my longing gone to the point of me hearing things? “Are you home?”, “Yes, of course” I said immediately. “Okay, see you soon” and she hung up. I felt the heat in my cheeks rise in anticipation. Was she coming here? I needed to get my ass out of bed and clean up the place, hell, clean myself up. I got the myself and the apartment prepared for her arrival and sat on one of the couches, ready for her to knock any minute. Sure enough there was a small tap at the door and I almost ran to answer it. I opened the door and saw her small figure behind it, looking just as perfect as the night she left. “Hey-” I began, but she pushed past me and entered the apartment before I could say anything else. She stomped into the living room and began pacing the floor, her arms crossed over her chest. “Would you like to sit down?” I offered her the couch, but she shook her head. “No, I need to stand.” I sat down where I had been seated previously and stared at her, considering this could be the last time I could get a good look at her. “I needed time to think...” she said. “So I didn’t even look at my phone for weeks. But today...today was the first time I looked at my phone since-since you...” she looked at me, “You kicked me out of your apartment” she said the last part silently as if trying to forget that little detail, a detail I wished never happened. “Mhm” I nodded. “And I saw all your text messages, and heard all your voicemails. At first I was going to ignore them, delete them and forget they happened, but then I got the one from you this morning....and that is the one that caught my eye....” she looked up at the ceiling, trying to push back the oncoming tears. “In all the other texts you said that you missed me and you were sorry, but in this one...in this one you said you needed me...” I didn’t know where she was going with this, “Yes...I did say that” I stared at her face searching for an answer. “I want to know why you said that. What you mean and did you mean it” she looked back at me and I can tell she was making a huge effort to hold the eye contact. I took in a deep breath and leaned in closer towards her, “I did mean what I said. Every single one of those texts and voicemails where the truth...” she nodded and gestured me to continue. “I guess what I mean is...goddammit. Y/N you are the only person that makes me this way. When you’re sad, I’m sad, when you’re happy, I’m happy and when I’m not with you I can’t help but think about you. I don’t know who I am when you’re not around, it’s like you literally take a part of me when you leave and I just...” I covered my face with my hands. I felt her soft hands pull mine away,making my look up at her, “Just what?” she asked, determined to figure this out. “I just can’t keep pretending that I don’t love you” as soon as I said the words I’ve been fighting to keep to myself I felt her arms wrap around me, giving me access to wrap mine around her waist. “This is what I’ve needed to hear for so long” she sat with her knees to the floor, making herself eye level with me. “I am in love with you Louis and I need to know that you feel the same” she rested her forehead against mine. “I am in love with you Y/N” I said back to her with complete sincerity. She is more than I can believe would come my way.
Liam(Angles-boy pov): “Hey, babe” Y/N greeted me as I walked in the house. “hey” I replied while taking off my shoes. I heard her rummaging around in the kitchen and, curious, went to go see. As soon as I walked through the kitchen door, the aroma of a warm meal filled my nostrils. “Dinner’s almost ready” she smiled at my reaction. “I didn’t know you were making dinner, I could have helped” I felt bad for having to make her run around the hot kitchen, preparing food for us. “It’s fine, babe. You looked so tired this morning I wanted to make you something for dinner” she dismissed my apology and continued assembling the plates and silverware. While she did so, I watched. I loved watching her in her while she was all in her head, paying no mind to anything or anyone else, focusing on her work. She looked perfect. What I loved the most was the fact she thought of me, the fact that because I was tired this morning she wanted to do all of this for me. It felt really nice. “So how was work?” I could tell she was trying to make me feel like I wasn’t wanted in there, even though I probably wasn’t, she most likely wanted some space to finish dinner. “It was nice, didn’t do much” I walked over to her by the counter, wrapping my arms around her waist. “Don’t worry, its almost done” she laughed. I smiled, kissing the top of her head. I let go of her and stood by the door to get a better view, giving my silent devotion. I realized something while watching the love of my life drift around the room like and angel. I realized that I want every single day of my life to be like this; I want to be this happy every day just like this. I want Y/N to be the first thing I see in the morning and the last thing I see that night, to be able to say I have this amazing woman I get to come home to, the same woman who makes me feel this important and loved. I need to marry this woman. I knew for a long time that Y/N would most likely be the woman I would marry but I felt like I wanted that to happen right now. I didn’t have a ring, but fuck it, I want this to happen. “Y/N.” she went over to the sink and rinsed her hands before turning to face me, “Hmm” she hummed. “I love you...”, “I love you too, babe” she wiped her hands off on her t-shirt. “I...I would-oh fuck I’m getting nervous” I rubbed my hands together, looking down at them. How was I going to say this? “I would like to marry...you” she immediately stopped wiping her hands and froze in place, only moving her head to look up at me. “Are you proposing to me?” she asked, but I couldn’t tell what she was feeling or what she would say through her tone. “Ye-yes, I am” I stuttered, still keeping my eyes off of her. She started laughing thunderously and I finally looked at her, trying to find out what was so funny. I shifted nervously on my feet, not knowing if this was a good or bad sign. She was holding her stomach, in pain from the blaring laughter. “Of course!!” she almost screamed. She ran towards me with open arms, allowing me to engulf her in a hug. “Yeah?” I asked. “Yes!” she kissed all over my face, leaving big wet marks. She calmed down from earlier and I set her down, “Sorry I don’t have a ring” I rubbed the back of my head, “I don’t care” she cupped my cheeks and gave me a light kiss. I felt her giggle through the kiss and I pulled back, “What?” she covered her face with her hands, laughing even harder in them. “What??, tell me” I pulled her hands away from her face, forcing her to look at me. “I would like to marry you” she said in a mocking tone, making fun of my proposal. “Shut up” I said before re-joining our lips.
Harry(Missing-boy pov): “Maybe you should go home, mate” Niall said, helping me stand from my seat. “Nahh, I’m good for another couple drinks” I knew I should probably stop but the party was just starting, how could I leave now? “No, I called you a cab, it’ll take you home” He was talking to me like I was a 5 year old. “Stop fucking treating me like a kid” I pushed him off of me to stand on my own. “I wouldn’t have to treat you like a kid if you didn’t act like one” he spat back, god he was annoying. “Okay” I let him lead me outside the club and sit with me while I waited for the taxi, it came in no time and Niall assisted me in quicker. “Okay, I’ll tell him where to take you, talk to you later, Harry” he patted my shoulder and shut the door, moving to the front to tell the driver my destination and pay him. “Bye” he called before I drove off. As I looked out the window, the route he was taking seemed familiar, but not the way to my house. I remembered every street he drove down but I knew it wasn’t the way to my apartment. “Where are we going?” I asked before he made an abrupt stop. “We’re here” he said. “this isn’t my block” I shook my head, “This is the address he gave me, get out” he said as if he were in a hurry. “Fine” I got out of the cab and looked around, trying to figure out where I was. I was going to call another cab or someone to pick me up but noticed a set of stairs I’ve stumbled on many times before. I knew perfectly well who it was as I rang the bell. “Y/N!!! long time no see!” I exclaimed as she opened the door, “Harry? what are you doing here? what time is it?” she questioned as she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. “Aren’t you going to let me in?” I slurred, stepping inside her small place. I walked in her living room, taking a seat on one of her couches. “Why are you here?” she asked as soon as I sat down, “Why so many questions?” I groaned. My head was already pounding, still hearing the beating music from the club. She crossed her arms over her chest and I could tell she wasn’t going to budge. “Aren’t you glad to see me?” I smiled my biggest smile, hoping to ease the tension. “Well, let me see. I haven’t talked or seen you in about 3 months, when we were together we fought all the time, and the last time I saw you we really didn’t part on good terms. So no, I am not happy to see you” I wasn’t in the mood to fight. Seeing her again after so long, it was amazing, she looked amazing. “Well I’m happy to see you” I stood up, pulling her in for a hug. “Harry, I’m not some drunk fuck” she pushed me off. “Of course you’re not!” I gave her a shocked look, “Why would you even think that?” I have to admit that I was kind of hurt that she even speculated that for a moment. She meant too much to me to be that. “I don’t know” she sighed, looking down at her feet. I missed her. Seeing her made all these feelings come back up, and being this close by ourselves made me so sick with needing her, I felt like I was going to puke. “Y/N.....” I stepped back by her, bringing her back into my arms. “Harry, maybe you should go, I can drop you off back at your apartment-”, “No, I don’t want to go” I cut her off and hugged her tighter. “You don’t want to go?” she asked as if it was a stunning statement. “No, I wanna stay here....With you” I brought my lips to the crook of her neck, kissing her lightly. “Harry...” she warned. “What?” I moved my lips to the corner of her mouth, leaving kisses on the way. “Stop.” she placed one of her delicate hands in my chest, giving me a light push. “I miss you” I breathed, a confession I wasn’t even aware I was making. “What?” she pushed me back a little harder, looking up at me fully. “I miss you” I diverted my eyes from her gaze. I did really miss her, and finally saying it out loud has made me realize that. “You’re drunk” she scoffed, turning away. “I’m not that drunk” the whole encounter with Y/N has sobered me up some. She faced the wall so I was unable to see her face, but her hands soon reached up, attempting to stifle her sobs. I walked over to her, wrapping my arms around her from behind. “You can’t do that” she said in between deep intakes of breath. “Do what?” I asked, “Do...this. You can’t come here and say you miss me....just like that. I haven’t seen you in months, Harry” she pulled away from my touch. “I know that. I’ve been gone for a long time, Y/N, but that doesn't mean I still don’t feel the same” I felt my own eyes stinging. “You can’t give this another chance?” I practically begged. I needed her, as fucked up as we are together, I knew that I needed her. “I-I want to....”, “You want to what?” my heart was racing, anxious for her answer. “Harry, we’re no good-” I couldn’t let her finish that sentence, I ran up to her and pressed my lips against hers. She was a little taken aback by my my impulsive movement, but I stood my ground and put everything into that kiss and soon enough she gave in. I felt her whole body relax in my arms and when I felt her head tilt to the side deepening the kiss, I knew she was ready for this.
Zayn(Stars): *his pov* I woke up next to the most amazing girl next to me. I felt her head resting on my chest and one of her arms laid across my stomach, and it felt perfect. I turned my head slightly, trying not to wake her, and admired how precious she looked. She didn’t look like a one night stand, someone I’d regret being with in the morning, she looked like a girlfriend. Was that too soon to be saying? I just felt so comfortable with her, like I’ve known her forever and it felt like a breath of fresh air. Like I don’t have to exist outside this place. I just hope she doesn’t regret it...”Hey” she said distracting me from my thoughts. “Good morning” I smiled back at her, “Sorry, I probably look horrible” She reached up to cover her face but I quickly protested, “No, you look great” I held her hands, keeping her from using them as a shield. She looked beautiful. We looked at eachother for a while, in complete silence until I realized that I’ve been holding her hands like this for the whole time and dropping them immediately. “Sorry” I laughed nervously. “It”s okay” she assured. We remained in silence, seeming to both look for something to say, it wasn’t that it was awkward, it was just...new I guess, at least for me. The longer we stayed like this the more nervous I became. Maybe she wanted me to leave and she didn’t want to ask or hurt my feelings. “Ohh, I have to go” I said, making it out to seem like I was in a rush. “Ohh, okay” to my surprise, she sounded a bit disappointed. “I’ll give you my number” she went over to her dresser and fetched a pen and scrap piece of paper. “Here you go” she places the scribbled digits in my hand, “okay, see you soon” I hope this wasn’t a lie. “Okay” she gave me a bigger smile and I made my way out the door.
*your pov* I was meeting up with one of my friends after Zayn left my apartment, and I just knew that a majority of the reason she wanted to meet up today, the day after my date, was because she wanted the scoop. I walked in the restaurant and quickly spotted her in a table near the back. “Hey!” she greeted as I took my seat across from her. “Hello” I smiled. She stared at me for a while then her eyes widened as if something just clicked, “You had sex!” she practically screamed. “Shhh! the whole fucking restaurant doesn’t need to know!” I laughed. “You did, you had sex” she looked pleased with discovery, god why did I agree to lunch. “Soooo....?” She looked at me, asking me to elaborate. “What?” I acted oblivious to what I knew she was asking. “How was it?” I really wish I didn’t come to lunch with her. “Do we need to talk about it?” whining wasn’t something I did but it seemed to fit the occasion. “Yes! now spill it!”, “Fine. It was honestly....perfect” everything from last night up to this morning was still buzzing in my head, all that time spent with him was amazing. “Perfect?” she raised one of her brows. “Yes, perfect. I had a great time” I couldn’t help but smile like an idiot. “Hmm” she nodded approvingly. “Did he give you his number?” I knew this question would pop up somewhere in the conversation. “Nooo....” looking down at my cup, I could feel her disapproving glare on me. “But! I gave him mine” That wasn’t going to make anything better in her book. “Why would you give him yours?!” here it comes, “Now you know what he’s going to do? he’s gonna throw that piece of paper away and forget about this meaningless encounter!” she really got on my nerves sometimes, but was she right? did he not care about it at all? I had a great time and thought we could turn it into something more. “He seemed to have a good time, he said he’d text me later” I argued, trying to make myself believe it too. She shook her head dismissing whatever I was saying and giving me the ‘poor girl’ look. “Don’t look at me like that, I know exactly what I’m doing” I felt my anger boiling, but it was soon evaporated when I checked my phone. “heyy, I was wondering if we could do something tonight? if you’re not busy? xxx.” I smiled at my screen, picking it up and showing her, “See?” my heartbeat speed up about ten times faster as I took back my phone and began texting back. “yeah, tonight would be great:)” I hit send and waited for his reply. “okay:) see you later .xxx” “Looks like you’re gonna get it in again” she commented, laughing when I reached across the table to hit her shoulder.
Niall(Sunset-boys pov): “Hey, what’s up?” I asked through the phone. “Oh, hey. Nothing, cooking dinner. How about you?” she seemed uninterested in talking, but I wasn’t going to give this up. Whatever I was doing...I’m not even sure what I’m doing myself. “Sounds good...I’m just watching t.v., Holly’s at her mom’s for a couple days.” I felt an uncomfortable shift of conversation when I brought up Holly’s name and mentally slapped myself. “Whatcha cooking?” I tried to change the subject. “Nothing fancy, some noodles” for some sick reason I felt like being there, cooking noodles with her. “Stop, you have a girlfriend” I said to myself. “What?”, “Nothing. What do you mean nothing fancy? noodles are an extravagant dish” I heard her laugh at the other end. Laugh. It felt amazing hearing it again, especially if I’m the one who initiated it. “Yes, some meal” she said sarcastically. Okay, we were getting somewhere. Just a couple of weeks ago I saw here at that shop and she couldn’t even look at me, so this was good. “Yeah, ha. So Y/N.....” my palms became clammy and I couldn’t stop fidgeting the the hem of my t-shirt. “yes Niall?” how the hell was I suppose to ask this. Why was I even considering asking this? I have a girlfriend, oh god what am I doing-”Niall?” she repeated. “I was wondering if you wanted to do something tomorrow?” I had to rip off the band aid. The line was silent for a few moments and I began to panic, “We don’t have to, it was a stupid question”, “No, no. It’s not that...It’s just...You have a girlfriend Niall and I don’t want to get in between that or anything.” stupid, stupid, stupid. I am an idiot. “It’s nothing like that!” I assured her. Was I lying to myself though? was it exactly like that? “It’s just hanging out, two friends hanging out” I had to repeat the word friends over and over in my head. “Umm...I guess that’s fine then. Friends. Okay, it’s fine with Holly, right?”, “Yeah, totally” Of course Holly was never going to be fine with this, but she didn’t need to know....right? “Okay, then we can do something”, “Okay, I’ll call you tomorrow and fill you in on the details” I felt my cheeks burn. “Okay, bye Niall” and she hung up. I felt like my crush just said yes to a date. “But this wasn’t a date, and she’s not my crush” I told myself firmly.
“How you holding up?” she asked as she took a seat next to me on the couch. “You know...I’m surprisingly fine” My recent breakup with Holly didn’t hurt me, and that’s what scares me the most. She gave me hell after finding out the daily outings me and Y/N have and I didn’t really react to her warnings, so it was inevitable that she was going to leave, the only thing that phased me was how soon. “Fine?” she gave me an incredulous look. “Yeah...Why, is it hard to believe?” I scoffed. “It’s just...I thought you were really into her.” she shrugged her shoulders and focused her attention to the television. “I guess I never really felt the way I should feel about someone with her...” the more I thought about it, I don’t know if I ever really loved her. “What are you talking about?” she faced me on the couch. “I mean-don’t get me wrong I did feel something for her, I just..It didn’t feel as passionate as it should, you know?” I could tell she knew where the conversation was heading. “I don’t...”, “Like how we were” my brain was speaking for me and saying all the things I’ve wanted to say to her, “I know we have history Y/N. Not the best history either, but you can’t say that we never had good times. Y/N, what he had, I can honestly say, was the best thing that had ever happened to me. I have never felt the same about anyone else, nor will I ever.” I took a deep breath at the end of my whole speech and prepared for my rejection. “Niall,I-shit. I fucking missed you so much. You broke me, Niall. I felt like my heart was literally torn to shreds for months on end, but when I saw you in that goddamn shop I couldn’t help but miss you goddammit” she spoke as if she was ashamed in herself for conjuring up those feelings again. “Y/N, I fucking love you” she broke her steady gaze at her hands and looked back up at me. She looked as if she didn’t know what to do next, like she was having an internal debate with herself. I couldn’t take it any longer, I closed the space between us and joined my lips with her pink soft ones. It was instantaneous fireworks, like I just took a bite of forbidden fruit but it felt so good. “Niall” she breathed, “Yeah” I barely managed to get out. “I love you” she said against my lips.
