The First Kiss
After the boys came in, we showed them to their rooms.
Harry was across the hall from me. And Niall was across the hall from Bella and everyone else was in between.
After everyone got settled in their rooms and showered and ready for bed, we all met downstairs for something to eat.
We all chatted and hangout and laughed. It was a nice evening. But everyone was extremely tired. So, everyone went of to bed except me. I am always the one to do the dishes so I stayed behind to get them done as everyone made their way up to bed. Harry was the last one to bring his plate over to put in the sink. He asked me if I needed any help and I just shook my head no.
"How bout you wash and I'll dry?" Harry asked, trying to get me to let him help.
"Okay." I say, knowing that if I don't let him, he won't give up and handing him a rag to dry with.
"So what are you and Bella doing in this huge house all by yourselves." He asked curiously.
He listened to the whole story about back home and about school and saying goodbye to my family. And he actually knew how it felt. So he related with me on most of the stuff I was blabbing about. He's a really good listener.

Harry's POV
i love listening to Ashlee. She's really funny. But when she started talking about her family, she started looking sad. I can see why, though. She's barely see them in the past few months and I know EXACTLY how she feels. I can't go a day without calling my mum cause of how homesick I feel all the time. I love being in one direction and performing and seeing our fans, but I miss home so much. I miss my mum. I miss my dad. I miss my sister. I love them all so much and being away from them so long. And Ashlee gets it. She understands. I mean the guys understand, but whenever we even start talking about it we all get emotional. So we rarely do.
Before I knew it, we were done with the dishes. Ashlee said she was really tired so we both walked up to our rooms while she kept talking about life. She's so interesting, but Bella... She's so pretty, I thought when we first met them earlier at the meet and greet, that I would fancy Bella out of both of them. But, Ashlee is starting to show a side that I didn't see earlier.
We get upstairs, we walk up to her bedroom door, Ashlee turns and says "well, this is me.." Then an awkward pause. She turns to open the door and says "goodnight Harry"
right before she shuts the door I put my hand in, pushing it open. "What are you doing Harry?"
I look at her with a puzzled look, not really sure what I'm doing either..
And before I could even realize what I was doing I was kissing her.
The kiss quickly intensifies and I hear her softly moan and I rub the tip of my tongue across her bottom lip to ask for acceptance into it. She allows access and I take it willingly.
By now, we are in the room and the door is closed. But, soon the kiss is broken to Ashlee covering her mouth in shock.
"What's wrong?" I say confused.
"nothing! That was.. That was.. Great! I've been wanting to kiss you for as long as I can remember, but I can't." She says with sound of happy mixed with sadness in her voice.
"Why not." I say still confused.
"because I can't!" All her happiness now turning to sadness.
"why? There has to be a reason!" I say sounding angry, starting to thinks its just because of me.
"Bella" she whispers and I can barely hear her.
"what?" I say, trying to make sure I heard her correctly.
"Bella," she says louder this time.
"what about Bella?" I say, seriously confused now.
"really Styles, you are not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree now, are you?" She says sarcastically.
"just explain." I say starting to get angry.
"she likes you" she states as her expression gets softer as I let out a chuckle and she lightly slaps my arm. "she's my bestfriend, I can't hurt her like that."
"fine, but atleast let me sleep in here tonight with you. My rooms too far away." She lets out a chuckle at my cheeky attempt to try to convince her to let me sleep in her room with her. "No funny business" I reassure her.
"Alright Styles, you have a deal." She says, putting out a hand for me to shake. I take her hand in my and we both lay down in bed, and almost instantaneously drift off to sleep.

Ashlee's POV
i wake up to someone knocking on my door. But, when I start to wake up more I notice that they aren't knocking on my door, they are knocking on Harry's door.
I hear the doorknob to Harry's door click and the door open as Louis shouts "wake up sleeping bea--!" probably realizing that Harry wasn't in his bed because he's sleeping right next to me. Louis mumbles something, but I can't quite make out what he said, then I heard Harry's door shut.
Almost immediately after Harry's door opens I hear a knock on my door. "hold on!" I yell getting out of bed, Harry moans as I do so. I open the door to a happy yet confused Louis. Apparently a morning person, I roll my eyes at my own thought.
"Sorry to bother you Ashlee, but have you seen Harry? I don't quite know where he is" Louis says as I see a hand opens the door more from behind me.
"I'm right here, Lou" Harry says, wrapping a hand around my waist.
"ohhhhhhhhhhhh, I see what's going on here. Ashlee, you fell for his devilish ways." Lou says with an evil, cocky smile.
"Noo" I say.
"Exactly!" Harry says and I snap my head in his direction.
"No need to explain anything to me!" Lou says, still sounding 100% sure he knows what's going on. And before I could explain further, he walked away and went down the stairs.
After Lou walked away I quickly shut my door and gave Harry the best stink eye I could pull off at the moment. "What?" Harry says, sounding like he has no idea why I would be mad.
"why would you do that? Now he's gunna go down there and tell everyone and Bella--" I start to rant, before he cuts me off.
"I was joking" he says. Knowing I'm clearly pissed off.
"It wasn't funny!" I yell.
"I'm sorry! Geeeez!" Harry yelled back.
We both make our way to the door and go downstairs. We enter the kitchen and everyone stops eating to look at us.
Bella's POV
How could Ashlee do this to me? How could she sleep with Harry even after I called dibs and she knew I liked him the most? Real true friend she is..
But I also wonder how big he is.. He's Harry Styles I bet he's big. Freaking huge. Ugh how could she do that to me? I'm so mad at her right now!
Ashlee's POV
"Trouble in paradise?" Louis asks with a smile and wink in my direction.
"Shutup Louis!" I snap still angry about what just happened.
"me-ow! Who pissed in your cocoa puffs?" Louis says still trying to lighten the mood. And everyone lets out a chuckle. Knowing he's purposefully trying to piss me off.
I just ignore him and continue making breakfast for myself. Not giving him the satisfactory of a response.
Soon, everyone dispersed. I went upstairs to shower and get ready for the day. But before I could even do anything I heard a knock on my door. I go to open the door. I see Bella standing there with her arms folded and she's tapping her foot. Uh-oh! This is not going to be good!
She pushes her way into my room. And she sits on my bed.
"Well, before I get mad at you, you need to tell me, is he big?" She asks.
"WHAT?!" I yell, looking at her wide eyed.
"You know, Harry... His thing, is he big?" She tries to explain without being to blunt.
"ohhhh, no, we didn't--" I say but she cuts me off.
"so, you have sex with the person I called dibs on, you knew I liked him and then you try to lie to me about it?!"
"I swear Bella nothing happened I would never do that to you!"
"sure, real bestfriend you are!" She finally screamed pushing her way passed me and out my room. I stand there shocked. Harry comes in the room.
"What's wrong?" He asks.
"get out Harry this is all your fault!!!" I scream at him and he walks toward the door.
Bella's POV
I run out of Ashlee's room and down the stairs toward the front door. I open it and run out. I don't really know where I'm going but I need to get out of there. I run until I can't even see the house anymore. I sit on a rock and start crying. How could she do this to me? And then she even lies about it! I'm so mad at her!
before I know it I hear footsteps coming towards me.
"Hello?!" I call out.
"it's just me! I hear an Irish voice call back, knowing its Niall.
"What are you doing out here?" and then he appear from the woods and sees the tears coming down my face "are you okay? What happened?" He asks genuinely concerned, sitting next to me.
"Ashlee.." His face scrunched at my words, not knowing what I mean. "She slept with Harry knowing that I really liked him, and then she even lied about it"
"are you sure she really did that?" His words made me start thinking.. Ashlee has always been a really good friend.. And she's never done anything like this before. So why would she start now? Maybe I should have listened to her before jumping to conclusions..
"No" I say admittingly.
"well maybe you should." He said, almost like he's reading my mind. And after a few seconds of silence I hear Niall speak again, but this time his words took me by shock. "And maybe there's someone her that likes you more than Harry could or does."
"like who?" I say surprised.
"me" Niall says, looking into my eyes.. And before I knew what was happening, he pushed his lips against mine. Which took me by surprise, but I instantly felt weird. Something I've never felt before.
Harry was across the hall from me. And Niall was across the hall from Bella and everyone else was in between.
After everyone got settled in their rooms and showered and ready for bed, we all met downstairs for something to eat.
We all chatted and hangout and laughed. It was a nice evening. But everyone was extremely tired. So, everyone went of to bed except me.
