It's Simple.

"Stop! Put me down Lou!"

"Not until you tell me where my present is! I know you gave Zayn canvases and spray paints, Liam some shirt, Niall a sweater, and Harry a jacket! Where's mine?!"

I couldn't help but laugh as Louis kept trying to get information out of me.

"This is why you shouldn't have brought it up Perrie." Zayn laughed.

"I'm sorry! I was just curious. Liam showed me his knee socks and I was wondering what Lou got!" Perrie defended.

"Don't drag me into this!" Liam laughed.

"Wait... Isn't your gift to Lou that big-"

"Julie!" I cut her off before she could say anything and she put a hand over her mouth.

"Nice one smart ass." I chuckled.

It wouldn't be a surprise if he knew now would it?

"I know where it is. It's pretty hard to miss." Harry laughed from besides Louis.

"I didn't even notice when she put it inside the bus." Niall laughed.

"It's not the only thing you didn't notice..." Louis mumbled.

"Hey! Be nice." I murmured to him.

He just rolled his eyes and looked over to Niall and Julie.
We were all currently heading back to the cabins where Julie was staying. Apparently, her parents and family had left, leaving them to her use. Everyone was just walking around and having conversations with each other and getting along, but, Louis here was pretty pissed about Julie being here...


"Set the girl down. I know where it is; in her backpack." Eleanor sighed.

"Ha! Got ya!" Louis set me down and snatched my backpack from Harry.

"Thanks." I smiled to Eleanor.

"See? We're getting somewhere." She smiled and bumped into me.

He ran up front and started digging through it. It was going to be pretty hard to find something that's like... My size... In my little backpack.

"Is it this?"

"No." Not my cellphone.

"This?"

"No!" That's my deodorant!

"These?"

"No Lou." Unless he wants pink socks...

"Ohh... This-"

"That's my bra!" I ran towards him and hid it back inside my backpack and snatched it from Louis hands.

"You wear lacy bras?" Louis asked as if it was something unnatural.

"I'm a girl!" I shot at him.

"Aww! She's blushing!" Louis teased.

"What? Let me see!" Harry came up besides Louis and I, and tried catching a glimpse.

"I'm human okay!" I started running away from them.

And yet... They chased me.

"How do you run so quick?!" I heard Harry laugh from behind me.

"I'm very athletic!" I chuckled without looking behind me.

"And so are we!" I let a small yelp out when I saw them both next to me, matching my speed.

"Oh... You think you can beat me?"

"Doll, you're not That fast." Louis smirked.

"Let's stop for a second." Harry said and we followed.
"First one to get to the cabins," he pointed up ahead.
"Gets to dare the other two to do something," He smiled down to me.
"Anything."


"It's a deal." I smiled back to him and shook his hand.

"Hello? I'm here too!" Louis sighed and cut in between us.

"We know! You in?" Harry laughed and stuck his Han out for Louis to shake.

"Definitely. Ready set go!" He shot off without us.

"Hey!" Harry and I started running and tried catching up.

"No! That's totally cheating!" I called out.

"I have the best dare ever and I'm not gonna let it go to waste!" Louis laughed from up ahead.

"You're shoe lace is undone." Harry nodded down and I looked.

Wait What?

"Just kidding! You have moccasins dummy!" Harry laughed and ran off even further.

"Oh hell no!" Little did they know, I wasn't even running that fast. I kicked up my speed a notch, remembering all the little tricks Mark taught me when trying to win a race.

"What the hell?! How did you get-"

"Suckers!" I laughed as I ran passed Louis and Harry who were shoving each other.

"I wiiiiiin!" I laughed and jumped up and down the porch of this huge mansion cabin...
"Wait... Whoa!" I stopped and realize how big this thing really was. I was expecting some small little hut and not some giant home. It's like Julie's house but in the woods.


"Y-you run... Too... Fast." Harry panted a bit once he got there with Lou.

"You're secretly the flash... That's why you're fast..." Louis let out as he tried normalizing his breath.

"Mark and I always had competitions like these," I turned to them.
"And I picked up a trick or two." I smiled.


"Is this the cabin?" I heard Perrie off from a distance.

"It's more like a mansion..." That was Liam.

"Let's sit. I'm pretty beat." Louis groaned and plopped down.

"What are you gonna dare us to do?" Harry asked when I sat besides him.

"I don't know... I'll see. Something very entertaining, no doubt. Maybe make you guys get naked and run around."

"You should join us for the dare, just because." He shot me a cheeky smile.

"I don't think so." I laughed with him.

They all started getting closer and closer, setting their things down and talking with each other.

"You left me alone babe!" Eleanor pouted and went up besides Louis.

"Oh don't be a baby. I love you." Louis chuckled and kissed her on the lips.

"I love you too." Eleanor smiled at him.

"You know you're beautiful, right?" Louis grinned to Eleanor and got a slight blush from her.

"Aww! Louis is a cake." I cooed an leaned onto Harry's shoulder.

"Why aren't we like that Zayn?" Perrie sighed dreamily.

"Come here." He laughed and dipped her down, stealing a very romantic kiss from her.

"All this love is making me feel very lonely. Have you guys noticed in here all single?!" Liam spoke up.

"We're all single except these two couples!" Harry laughed and pointed at Zayn and Louis.

"What about Sofie?" Niall and I teased him.

"Look! Is that a grill?" He walked away to look at it like it was the most amazing thing ever.

"If you want, we can go in and I'll set you guys up in your rooms." Julie cleared her throat and started walking.

"We should share a room." Harry whispered in my ear.

"So, you and Julie are sharing, right?" Niall asked with a smile, wrapping an arm around my shoulder.

"I guess that's a no." Harry grumbled low enough for me to hear.

"Stop." I laughed and slapped his chest.

~

"So, who's this Sofie that you and Niall were talking about?" Julie chuckled as she slumped down on her bed.

This cabin shouldn't even be a cabin. It's like a house made of wood with built in wifi, a television, freaking hot tub, and actual plumbing. I should know cause Louis and I went exploring. Like, what the hell? It has a second floor for fucks sakes-

"Jamie...?"

"Huh?" I shook my head and gave her a confused look.

"You've been looking at me with that confused face for a while.... It's creeping me out." She laughed.

"Oh... Sorry. I was just thinking about how huge this place is." I chuckled and continue to look for my tank top.

"I know. All my uncles and aunts pitched in to get a place as big as this. You've seen how much family I have." She sighed and flipped back on the bed.

"You think you have a lot of family?" I laughed and turned to her

"For a white girl." She stuck her palm out at me.
"At least everyone fits." She sighed and got up to walk towards me.


"Yeah. I find it funny how Liam, Harry, and Niall opened up the wall that separated the downstair rooms. They're such scaredy cats." I laughed and pulled out the tank.

"Well, we have an odd number. They wanted to sleep with one another... As company." She chuckled.
"So, who's Sofie?" She asked again and say on my bed.


"Umm... This girl from work. She met Liam when we picked them up at the airport." I smiled back at the memory. Man, poor sweater.

"What? And you couldn't introduce me to any of them?" She gasped with fake hurt.

"Julie; you're like a crazy super fan." I stated as I took off my shirt and put my tank top on.

"What's your point? I was just gonna scream uncontrollably. Duh." She scoffed and walked away.

"Drama queen coming down!" I shouted as she went down stairs.

"You know it!" She laughed.

Once she was out, I couldn't help but feel sad. Harry and Niall seem to be a bit tense around each other, and the girls seem a bit tense around Julie. Everything is just weird and it's all because I can't admit I have a bit of an attachment towards-

"Knock knock." I looked up and saw Perrie and Eleanor by my door.

"Oh... Hi." I waved and gestured for them to come in.

"You're still acting like we're mortal enemies." Eleanor laughed as she sat on the edge of my bed and Perrie in the middle of it.

"We are. We despise each other." I joked.

"I'm not gonna lie, I'm still a bit ticked off about the incident." Perrie spoke.

"Same." Eleanor and I said simultaneously.

"So there is just a tad bit of hate there." I laughed.

"Yes. Just a smidge." Eleanor chuckled.

"What are you guys doing here anyways?" I asked as I tried looking for some sweat pants.

"The guys to us to come and get you for some game." Perrie shrugged.
"But we also came to ask you something–"


"Can we not talk about the boys? I feel stressed as it is seeing Harry and Niall upset." I sighed.

"We were gonna ask about your hair..." Perrie trailed off.

"Oh..." Don't I feel stupid.

"We are gonna talk about the boys later though." Eleanor winked.

"Damn." I sighed and grabbed my sweats to put them on.

"So, when was the last time you dyed your hair? It looks lilac, but, it's starting to fade out and get splotchy. Not to mention your roots are showing." Eleanor pointed out.

"Oh my god, I know! I have dark brown hair, but, I haven't come around to coloring it." I said as I walked up to the mirror.
"I'll dye it when I get home." I shrugged and started putting my sweats on.


"Or we can dye it now." I heard Perrie chirp.

"What?" I giggled and turned to the two as I wiggled into my sweats.

"I have hair dye hidden in the boys tour bus. It's a dark brown color that we've had from when we tried doing Jesy's hair in there."

"That was you guys?! Louis was blaming me because he thought I dyed my hair brown and that was me 'deep dark secret'." Eleanor air quoted.

"Oh... Sorry." Perrie bit her bottom lip an shrugged.
"Point is; we should dye your hair and surprise the guys!" Perrie grinned and went up to me.
"I'll do it myself." She said in a sing song voice.


"My brother usually helps me or I do it myself..." I trailed off.

"C'mon! I'll help too! How can we mess up with three people?" Eleanor added.

Well, I guess they have a point.

"We can bond over it!" Perrie smiled and nudged me.

"C'mon!" Eleanor came up to my other side and nudged me too.

"Well... I guess I can–"

"Let's go!"

~

"Could you girls hurry up?!"

"Louis! Don't rush us!" Eleanor shouted.

"Girls... Umm..." Perrie came into the bathroom with the hair dye box in one hand and with her eyes wide.

"What's the matter?" I asked as I waited for the last minute to pass by. We had to improvise and use a gray plastic bag to tuck my hair in and not let it drip down on the floors. I couldn't really tell if it was gonna be really dark, but, I just hoped it looked okay.

"Umm... Remember how you guys were saying how the dye should've been darker and not so.. White?" Perrie chuckled.

"Yeah? But I thought we cleared that up and said that it was just the brand." Eleanor furrowed her brows at her.

"Well... I found another box of hair dye..." She took her hand out from behind and showed us a box with a blonde in the front...
"And I think back when Jesy was trying to dye her hair, someone tried pranking us... And switched the dyes..." She chuckled awkwardly and shook the box.


"Why do you say that...?" I asked and got up along with Eleanor.
Perrie set the box for dark brown hair on the side, and opened the blonde one. She pulled the materials out, and my breath hitched when I saw a brown cream in her hand.






"Ops...?"

"OH MY GOD!"
"WASH IT OUT JAMIE!"
"DON'T YELL! CALM DOWN!"
"SOMEONE HELP ME!"
"IS THAT WHY IT BURNED?!"




After about half an hour of washing out the dye from my hair, Perrie and Eleanor gasped.

"Uh..." The looked at each other then back at me.

"It's definitely not brown..." Eleanor shook her head.

I got up and ran to the mirror.

"Oh Jesus Christ... I'm blonde..."

[Niall's P.O.V.]

"I used to sing when I was younger. Now it's jut like... Whenever a play is on, I'll try out." Julie chuckled and swung her legs around.

We were outside enjoying the nice weather while the lads were playing a game of football.

"Harry, you kick like a bitch."

"Lou! Shut up!"

"Are they always like this?" Julie laughed and turned to look at me.

"Yeah... Basically. Especially Louis; He's a show off.." I shrugged.

"Jamie is the same. Whenever she plays soccer with Mark, she always pulls these moves an tricks that make no sense to me. I tell her to join the soccer team, but, she sticks to badminton." Julie laughed.

"Wait, you're on the football team?"

"No... I said soccer?" Julie scrunched her eyebrows at me.
"Oh wait..." I could tell she wanted to face palm herself by the goofy smile she had when she shut her eyes.
"Never mind." We both laughed.


"Watch out!" The ball came right towards us.

"Got it!" And Julie just, stood up, and bumped it with her head...

"Nice save!" Liam called out.

"So you weren't lying." I chuckled and stood up.

"I've got mad skills." She chuckled and pretended to flex.

"Guys? Can we have a small talk?" Perrie came shouted out from the door.

"I wonder what she wants?" I mumbled to Julie as we all followed her inside.

"I don't know..." She shrugged.

"Take a seat everyone! Take a seat!" Eleanor shouted over our talking.

The two were standing by the hall, shoulder to shoulder, and watching a we all sat.

"What's this all about?" Zayn asked as he plopped down on the floor.

"We have a very special presentation." Perrie smiled and did a little bounce.
"At first we thought we made a huge mistake-"


"And we did!" I heard Jamie call out from somewhere.

"Sshh!" Eleanor turned around and hushed her.

Guess she's behind them.

"We thought we made a mistake, but, after fixing her hair a bit and adding a couple of lowlights," Eleanor and Perrie stepped aside.

"We are proud to present to you," The two spread their arms towards the center.

"The new and improved Jamie!"















"WHOA." We all gasped when we saw she was now blonde.
She actually looked good, I'm not gonna lie, but, it was pretty surprising.



"I know... I know... I now have an excuse to act dumb." Jamie sighed and walked to the center of the room.









"Hey!" Julie chuckled.


"Don't forget you just had a blonde moment out there." I whispered to her.

"Oh... Right..." We laughed and then turned back to Jamie.

"So umm... I'm blonde." Jamie shrugged.

"I think you look beautiful." Eleanor smiled and gave her a hug.

"C'mon, you like it." Perrie wiggled her brows at Jamie.

"It's different... I'll give you that." She laughed.

"Why did you girls make her into a blonde?" Harry chuckled and got up.

"Someone mixed up the hair dyes... And we dyed her hair with the wrong dye..." Perrie said with a meek voice.

"Are you talking about the brown hair dye and blonde hair dye?" Liam asked with a smirk.

"Yeah?" The three nodded.

I looked at Zayn and Louis who had their eyes wide open. They were as still as statues.

"What's the matter boys? Cat got your tongue?" I teased them.

They both shot me a scared look and tried to get me to stay quiet.

"You guys did something, didn't you?" Harry pointed to them.

"It was all Louis." Zayn pointed to him and ran out.

"Zayn! You coward!" Louis ran behind him.

"Why did you guys do?!" Perrie chased after them.

"Liam?" Eleanor shot at him.

"Huh?" He laughed and turned to her.

"What do you know?"

"Oh... Jut the fact that they switched the dyes cause Louis wanted to see if you dyed your hair brown. He thought if you did dye it, you'd be blonde and that be proof enough." He laughed.

"Oh that Louis..." She grumbled and stormed out.

"Well, I think you look nice." Harry smiled to Jamie and wrapped his arm on her shoulder.

"Thank you. That's the last time I'm letting them do my hair though." She sighed.

"Imagine what Ryan will say." Julie chuckled.

"Don't even start! He's gonna have so much against me..." Jamie groaned.

"Oh, Ryan? The babe?" Harry chuckled and nudged her.

Jamie just winked at him and they walked off.

"Who's Ryan?" I asked Julie.

"A friend." She smiled and got up to follow Jamie and Harry out.

hmmm...

"C'mon mate. Time to save Louis and Zayn's butt." Liam sighed and pulled me along.

~

"Why do I have to be goalie?! Louis will probably smack me right in the face!" Zayn laughed as he placed the gloves on.

"Don't worry dude! He won't be able to get passed me." Jaime said cheerfully. I turned to see Lou sniffing the air with his eyebrows furrowed.

"Is that a challenge I smell? Dont talk big until you score a goal... If you CAN that is." Lou sassed as he looked dead at Jaime. She just placed her hands in her pocket and walked up to him, faces inches apart.

"It won't be much of a challenge for me." She winked cockily as she walked away with a laughing Zayn. Louis just stood there with a blank expression. He blinked once then faced me.

"Keep your woma— Team mates in check." Louis mumbled as he walked away.

"Hey! I heard that!" Jamie shouted from her spot by the goal.

A loud whistle sounded off from Perrie.

"Okay! Everyone got their teams?" She asked as she stepped to the center.

"Yeah!" Harry shouted out.

"Okay, who are the team captains."

"Babe, there aren't any-"

"ANSWER THE QUESTION." Perrie snapped to Zayn.

"You're letting the power get to your head." Eleanor laughed as she walked up next to her.

"It's the whistle." Perrie sighed and flipped her hair.

"Okay, I'm team captain for my team." Louis said as he walked up to Perrie.

"Who's in your team?" She asked as she pulled out... A notepad and pencil?

"Why do you-"

"Answer the question." Perrie turned to Louis.

"You can see who's on my team by-"

"Just tell her!" Jamie groaned and walked up to us as well.

"Okay? It's me, Niall, Harry, and Liam."

"Good. And you Jamie?" Perrie turned to her.

"Umm... Me, Julie, Eleanor, and Zayn." She smiled and watched Perrie write it down.

"Great. Okay! Get in position!" we listened and went off.

I got to the center where the ball was and was faces with smirking Jamie.

"You're going down." She smiled.

"A bunch of girls against us? No."

"I'm not a girl!" Zayn groaned.

"You guys know the rules! I don't! Get ready! Go!" Perrie blew her whist and we were off.

"Bye Niall!" Jamie laughed and kicked the ball to Julie.

"What the?"

"Niall you idiot! You let them get it!" Louis shouted.
Julie scissor kicked the ball back to Jamie who was by the goal. Liam tried to block her way, but, Jamie ended up blocking him and taking the ball away. I ran towards her and began trying to get the ball.


"El!" She smiled at me kicked the ball off to Eleanor.

"Sorry Harry!" And in the goal it went...

"WHAT?! Eleanor doesn't even know how to play and she made a goal!" Louis began to shout at Harry.

"I wasn't the one who got tricked by the blondes over there." Harry pointed at Jamie and Julie who were high five-ing each other.

"I guess I'm just gonna take a nap then." Zayn called out and laid on the grass.

"What were you saying again?" Julie chuckled and came up besides me.

"A bunch of girls? Against you guys? Impossible!" Jamie faked being surprised and walked away laughing with Julie.

Oh man.

"We can't lose to them! Niall! go!" Louis shouted and tossed me the ball.

"You guys are a bunch of babies!" Jamie laughed.

"Just wait! We were going easy on you!"

~

"You know, I liked our team." Zayn smiled and held Perrie against his chest.

"Someone is taking defeat up the butt though." Jamie nodded to Louis.
He had a pouty face on, crossed his arms, and watched as Eleanor made him a S'more.



"He'll get over it." Harry laughed and continued to roast his weenie.

"But I still can't get over the fact that you were that scared of a ball." Jamie punched Harry.

"You girls are scary!" Harry defended.

"Liam was a good goalie though." Julie smiled.

"Thank you." Liam grinned and took a sip of his tea.

"Well then! Excuse me for trying to keep this beautiful face in it's beautiful form." Harry snickered.

"Oh shut up. Im the one with the prefect face here." Zayn threw a marshmallow at Harry.

While they all started arguing about their faces, Julie nudged me.

"What's wrong?" I asked as I furrowed my brows at her.

"I need to talk to you." She whispered and began to walk off towards the forest. She turned around and mouthed a 'C'mon'.

"Where are you going?" Louis shouted after me.

"More firewood! Be right back!" I lied and walked with Julie.

It was pretty quiet between us for a couple of minutes. Only the sound of the breeze rustling through the leaves and the faint laughter from the cabin was heard.

"Do you like Jamie?"

What the...?

"Why are you asking this?" I laughed and looked at Julie.

She crossed her arms and looked down to the floor as she walked.

"I've seen the way you look at her, and, although Jamie doesn't like to admit it, she looks at you the same way." She looked back up to me.
"You guys are too shy to even flirt with one another." She chuckled and nudged me.


"I'm not shy!" I laughed.

"Around her you are though!" She shot me a smirk.
"Why don't you just tell her how you feel?" She asked me with a serious tone.



"I don't see Jamie like that–"

"Oh bullshit. You can lie to me about anything else, but, you can't lie to me about that. If you keep saying that you don't, Jamie will feel that and think she has no chance with you. To be honest, I think it's already happening." She sighed and looked ahead.
"And I think she's finding comfort in Harry. The poor guy doesn't even realize it and he'a confusing it with something else. I bet he thinks she likes him... I mean... She does... Just not as much as you though. Even if you don't realize It, you're hurting two people at once..." She looked up to me with a sad smile.


I didn't know what to say. I wanted to deny everything that she said, argue with her and tell her she was wrong, make myself believe it was true. She was right though... Every word of it. Was this really happening all because I can't admit...

That I really do like Jamie?

"You know I'm right, Niall." Julie interrupted my thoughts.

"I don't want to admit it." The words fell out of nowhere. It was too late to take it back though... It's been said.

"You don't want to admit it?" She looked to me with that look that meant she wanted me to go on.

"I guess I don't want to show when I like someone because I'm scared to get hurt... Or hurt them. I've had past relationships that I've had to keep secret all because of the press and management or whatever. I don't want to drag Jamie into it and lose her like I have with the others. She looks like such a genuine person and I don't want to scare her off. I can't risk losing out friendship by getting into a relationship with her." It felt great to get that off my chest. I felt like I was finally free... And able to say anything now. I never knew how long I had been holding it in and how much it hurt to hold it in till now.

"Tell her how you feel." Julie smiled solemnly to me.

"I just told you why I can't though–"

"Let me tell you something." She stopped walking.

I did the same and waited for her to go on.

"Jamie knows me like she knows the colors on her palette. She knows I have a small crush on you and didn't do anything about it. Instead she actually pushed me on to chase after you. I'm not though... I won't chase after someone who's obviously into someone else. I want to, I really do, especially cause I've gotten to know you on such a better level... But I won't. You like Jamie, and I like you... But you make yourself so readable and everyone knows you like Jamie. She won't tell you how she feels, she's not straight forward like me. You gotta be a man and go up to her and tell her before something happens."

I was stunned.

I never realized it till now, but, Julie Did try to get my attention. That must be why everyone hates me for bringing her here and spending loads of time with her.

I looked down to my ring and thought for a second.

"I never knew you liked me." I chuckled and looked back up to her.

She shrugged and let a small laugh out.

"I do. I know when I should stop though."

"I'm so sorry if you ever thought I led you on–"

"No, no." She stuck her palm up to stop me and smiled.
"Go. Find Jamie."


I smiled and nodded to her.

"I'm always happy to be your rebound!" She laughed as I ran off.

"Oh stop!"

~

I rubbed my hands anxiously as I passed the lads who were knocked out by the fire pit. Once I got inside, I tried looking for Jamie in her room, Eleanor's, and Perrie's, but found nobody. Then I heard the loud swooning.

"Jamie!"

It was coming from downstairs...

I followed the sound of laughter and chatter till I ended up by the room I was sharing with Harry and Liam.

"You ready?" I heard Perrie ask.

"More than ever." Jamie sighed.

"Maybe we should go and change your clothes first. Harry got chocolate all over you." I heard their voices getting louder...

Shit! They're gonna catch me eavesdropping!

I quickly hid behind the staircase and waited for them to leave.

"I can't wait to hear how it went!" Eleanor giggled.

"I'm so glad we all got along again!" Perrie squealed.

"Guys... Stop! You're so loud!" Jamie laughed.

Once I heard their voices die down, I let a sigh of relief out.
I wonder what they were doing in my room though?


I went in and saw the laptop Liam had brought was open. Someone left their twitter page on some guy's profile.

"Who is that?" Just as I was about to go towards it, I heard a cellphone beep.

It was Jamie's.

It was laying down besides a sketch of... Harry? Ehh.

"Perfect! I can use this as an excuse to talk to her."

I walk towards the cellphone and picked it up, but, quickly regretted it...

From: Ryan <3
Oh! Andddd... I'm glad you think I'm date able cause you are one smoking hot babee <3 c;




What the hell is this?
Before I knew it, I was reading through a couple of her texts.



To: Ryan

"I think I left it downstairs."


Shit! That was Jamie's voice.

I quickly set her phone back and took my shirt off, pretending I was looking for another.

"Oh shit! Niall!" I turned and saw she was flushed red.

I wonder why.

"Oh, hey." I replied with a dull tone and picked up the first shirt I saw and threw it on.

"Are you okay? You sound mad..."

Oh just a tad. You have this guy texting you how much he loves you, and you mention telling Harry and I something. Probably how you just love Harry and don't care about me. But, once you do, better believe I'm gonna tell him about your little guy friend.

"Yeah. Just tired." I shrugged and turned to look at her.

Why did she have to look like that? Like the sweetest thing in the world? I guess you can't judge a book by its cover.

"Umm.. Well.. Are you going to bed?" She asked as she went for her phone and the sketch.

I watched as a huge smile swept across her face when she read that text from Ryan.
He was probably the same guy I saw her with at the club! Ha! So I wasn't wrong after all.


"Yeah... Probably..." I shrugged and walked past her to my own cellphone.

To: Julie
Can we talk? Meet me out by the fire pit once the guys leave.


"Oh... Well... Can we talk before you do? I really have to say something to you..." She cleared her throat.


"Go ahead." I muttered and read over Julie's response.

From: Julie
Sure...? Is everything okay?


"Umm... I wanted to tell you face to face... Because I don't know how you might react..."


I turned and saw she was biting her lower lip... Rocking on her heels... Hiding her arms behind her back…

Why did she have to do this to me?

"Go on." I had to stand my ground though.

"Oh... Okay... Well... It's about you... And Harry–"

"Did I ever tell you how much I love that we're friends? I'd hate for us to ever lose one another because of something stupid." I fake smiled at her.

"Uhh... Y-yeah..." She dropped her hands from behind her back and furrowed her brows at me.
"Yeah, your right." She nodded once.


"I'm glad we're close friends."

I don't know if I was right, but, I could've sworn I saw a flash of sadness in her eyes.
It was quickly replaced by a huge grin and a nod.


"Yeah! Me too! Umm... I'm gonna go find the girls!" She smiled and ran out.

Once I heard her go upstairs, I broke down.



“I wonder where the drinks are at…?”

~

"Oh my god.. What's wrong?!" Julie quickly ran towards me and placed both hands on my cheeks.


I chuckled a bit before setting the beer I found off to the side.

"She doesn't like me. She never did. She was going to pick Harry all this time." I laughed.

"What?! No... You sure...?"

"I read her texts! I could tell she meant she was going to pick him and not me! Harry was right..." I chuckled and sat down, wiping away my tears.
"I gave him the advantage." I shook my head, completely disappointed at myself.
"But... I'm glad though... I'm glad I read her texts and that she didn't chose me. I'm glad cause now I know something; She has another guy." I chuckled and looked at Julie.


"Another guy-? What? She doesn't...?" She trailed off and looked at me in disbelief.

"Yeah... Her and that Ryan guy have something going on." I scoffed and stood up to face her gain.

"Ryan? Are you serious?" She chuckled a bit and shook her head.
"Niall... I think you might've-"


"Maybe I should've focused on you."

She looked at me with confusion.

"Niall... Let me–"

"No, let me talk. I was totally focused on Jamie, when I should've been focused on you. You actually wanted me. What did I do though? I ignored your signs and just saw you as nothing more than a friend. Maybe I should've given you a chance instead of giving it to Jamie." I chuckled and leaned into her.

"N-Niall... What are you...?"

"I just want to try something..."

[Jamie's P.O.V.]

I watched as the two walked off into the forest, disappearing into the night.

"I don't like her." Louis suddenly said.

"Hey! She's Jamie's friend!" I saw Eleanor smack Louis.

"You don't like her either!" Louis pointed at her.

Harry looked to me and shot me an apologetic look.

"Umm... Does anyone want a weenie?" He raised his up and showed it to them with a stern look.

. . .






"Hahahahaha!"

Everyone started cracking up for some reason. I guess it was the innocence in his voice and the seriousness he had at the same time that made us all react like this. He just looked at us like a lost child.

"What's so funny?" He laughed along.

"Honestly? Who wants a weenie? That's sounds so childish." Liam said in between laughs.

"Nobody wants your weenie, Harold." Eleanor laughed behind her shirt.

"Hey! Plenty of women do!" He tried acting serious, but failed when he started laughing with the rest of us.


“Have some chocolate.” I smiled and was handing him half of my opened up S’mores.


Once he leaned in, I smeared it all over his mouth.


“Oh no she didn’t!” Zayn laughed and the rest either gasped or laughed as well.


“You…” He looked directly at me.
“Are… “ He snatched my S’mores.
“So…” And now he’s standing in front of me with a smirk playing on his lips.
“Dead.”



“Harry!” I shrieked when he get chocolate on my chest.


“whoops!” He laughed and planted a kiss on my cheek, getting chocolate all on me.


“Eww! Cooties!” I stuck my tongue out at him.


“You guys are so messy…” Perrie sighed and started getting up.


“Let’s go get you cleaned up.” Eleanor chuckled and got me out of there.


“What about me?” Harry called out.


“Tell Louis to clean you up!” I called out.


“No way. Stay away from me Haz!”


“C’mon boobear!”


The girls led me into the room Harry was staying in with Liam and Niall just because the bathroom here was closer. Once I cleaned up my face in the bathroom, I walked out and saw Perrie and Eleanor on twitter.


“What are you guys doing?” I laughed and watched as they scrolled down.


“We’re trying to see if the fans know where we are yet. They haven’t seen us out yet and are proaly wondering what we’re doing for New Years.” Eleanor said as she typed something.


“Oh… Alright. I forgot New Years was almost here… What day is it?” I asked as I sat down on the bed.


“Umm.. The twenty ninth? No wait… Yeah.” Perrie smiled at me.


“Already? What the hell?” I chuckled and tried recalling the days.


“Yeah! We spend the twenty-sixth at the campsite and half of the twenty-seventh. The other half we cam here and yesterday was the twenty-eight; The day we went hiking!” Eleanor turned to me and laughed.


“Wow… What are we gonna do tomorrow then?” I asked them.


“Fireworks and a grub! Just something simple!” Perrie smiled and looked back to twitter.


“What are you guys looking at now?” I laughed and went up to them.


“Liam and Niall posted pictures of you guys during Christmas.” Perrie smiled as we looked at the screen.


They both put a sweet caption saying how it was ‘One of the best days.’ and I couldn’t help but smile.


“You guys look so cute.” Eleanor pointed to me and Niall.


“Oh stop.” I sighed and started reading at the comments… Tweets… Whatever.
Some of them weren’t that nice…


“Look at this one!” Perrie laughed and pointed to one that said ‘Purple haired bitch looks like Barney.’ I rolled my eyes and read what someone else responded with.





“Wait! That’s my friend Ryan!” I laughed and read what he wrote outloud.
“’Well, apparently Barney gets more action than your jealous musty ass. By the way, I Love this pic.’ Oh my god!” I laughed with the girls.



“How do you know him?” Eleanor asked as she clicked on his photo. They ended up on his page and read all his sassy and over dramatic tweets before scrolling back up.


“He’s like my best friend.” I smiled.


They girls turned to me and raised an eyebrow.


“He’s gay.”


“Ohhh! I thought that maybe you just friend zoned him and maybe he likes you.” Perrie chuckled and sat on the bed.
“Speaking of liking people,” Oh no.


“We need to talk.” Eleanor turned her seat around and faced me.


“Umm… No we don’t-”


“Close the door Perrie!”


She ran as fast as she could and locked that door up. I guess I could try running away when they’re both distracted…


“Do you like Harry or Niall?” Eleanor dropped the bomb.


“Uh…. Nobody…” I needed a distraction… Something… Anything.


I spotted a notebook and decided to take a piece out. I also took the pen that was with it and just started sketch random waves.


“Why don’t you want to talk about it? Is there something more behind it?” Perrie asked and took a seat on the bed.


“Here, you can take my chair.” Eleanor got up and passed it to me. I shot her a thanks and sat down to begin sketching.


“We may have known you for a couple of days, but, you make everything so obvious.” Eleanor spoke up.


“The way you look at him, talk to him, smile at everything he says; You obviously like Niall.”


“And then there’s Harry.” Eleanor sighed.


“He likes you too. He gives you that certain look… The one I remember Zayn giving me when we first met…”


“That’s what I don’t want. I don’t want either of them to like me. I don’t wait them to fight over me. I don’t want them to look at me like that. I’m no super model, I’m no singer, I’m nothing big or special.” I started drawing out his hair.
“I’m a girl from a small town that nobody really hears talk about. Sure we’re by some famous cities, but, besides that, who really goes there? None of this should’ve happened to me. I don’t know why this happened to me.” I realized I was drawing out his jaw line now.
“I met the boys out of pure coincidence. Nothing else. I shouldn’t have bothered them after the first time we talked. I don’t know why it was me who met them, but, it was me.” I chuckled at my lame sentence and continued to draw the image in my head.


“Well, you made a change in their life. I’ve seen how happy the boys are now that they’ve met you.” Perrie said.


“And it be horrible if you were to just disappear out of their lives because of this situation.” Eleanor added.


“It’s not the situation I’m worried about…” I stopped and turned to them.
“It’s the boys. Their friendship is on the line because of some dumb girl like me. I feel like….” I turned back to my drawing and continued to add more.
“I was leading one on, and, pushing the other away.” I added his eyebrows… His lips…
“I guess I was scared that I was getting my hopes up with one guy, that, I was leaning on the other as my savior. I should’ve realized what I was doing… I should’ve admitted that I liked him…” I sighed and looked at him.














“And I’ll hurt Harry by telling Niall how I feel about him…”


“You’ll be hurting them both if you don’t tell Niall how you really feel. Harry will just fall for you more and more as each day passes. You don’t want that do you?”


I turned to face the girls with my dumb tears.


“No… I don’t want to hurt him…” And here comes the sobs.


“Come here! You need a hug.” The girls pulled me in and started to comfort me.


“We’re here for you and we can help you.”


“I just don’t want this to grow into something worse than it already is. I feel horrible seeing Harry trying so hard to get my attention… When all my attention is on Niall. But I fucked up… I fucked up when I told Julie she could have him. She still tried getting him to notice me though, and, I feel like such a bad friend for feeling so much hatred and jealousy towards her.” I sighed and wiped my tears.


“If she’s really your friend, she’ll understand. Trust us.” I looked up to them and saw they were smiling at me.


“Okay… Do you guys mind if I call Ryan real quick? He knows how to cheer me up.”


“Go ahead.” They smiled and let me go.


I sat on the bed and dialed his number, waiting for an answer.


“Put him on speaker.” Perrie whispered. I nodded and did as she wanted.


“Mimi?”


“Hey…”


“What’s with the sniffles? Are you crying?” He sounded worried.


“Ryan… I like Niall…”


“Whoa Whoa Whoa! Hold on! I thought you were going to be my girlfriend?!” I laughed at his comment.


“I thought he was gay-” Eleanor was quick to shut Perrie up.


“Am I on speaker Jamie?!” But Ryan heard.


“Yes… Sorry! I just need to ask you how to deal with this whole thing.”


“Fucking kiss the dude and you’ll be okay. I saw that pic on twitter and he looked happy as hell. Not to mention attractive.” He growled into the phone.


“Oh my god… There’s just one problem though-”


“Hold that thought.. WHAT? …. On the phone! …. ON THE PHONE!... FUCK?! OKAY! Jamie, I need to hang up. Text me whatever it is that’s going on. Love you!”


“Love you too! Bye!” I hung up and looked up tp the girls.
“I guess I’ll have to be straight forward and go face to face with him.” I sighed and started texting Ryan. Of course he had to act like a goof and try making me laugh.


“What’s he saying?” Perrie looked over my shoulder and read the new text.
“He’s your side what?”



“Oh my god…” Ryan. You’re dead.



“Let me see!” Eleanor hovered over my shoulder and laughed at the new text.
“He pretends to be your boyfriend?”



“Don’t you have someone you can do that with?” I tried covering up… But… I was totally embarrassed right now.


“Wait… Guys…” Perrie backed up and looked at us with a crazy smile.
“She just admitted that she like Niall!”



“AWWWW!” The two started swooning and making kissy noises at me.


“I do! Okay?” I hid behind my phone.


“You gonna tell him?”


“I’ll try… I really hope he likes me too…” I sighed and started thinking about him and his blue eyes… The way he smiled…. How he always managed to make me laugh… His braces and how he would complain about them every now and day….


“She’s daydreaming bout him!” Eleanor cooed.


“Stop!” I groaned and hid my face on my lap.





All they did was swoon and tease me even more.




"Jamie!"

“I think you should tell him as soon as possible. We’ll distract the guys and you talk to him. Then you can talk to Harry.”


I sighed at the thought of breaking Harry’s heart...




He doesn’t deserve it and it’s all my fault.

"You ready?" Perrie asked me.

"More than ever." I sighed again with a small smile.

"Maybe we should go and change your clothes first. Harry got chocolate all over you." Perrie laughed as we started walking out.

"I can't wait to hear how it went!" Eleanor giggled.

"I'm so glad we all got along again!" Perrie squealed.

"Guys... Stop! You're so loud!" I laughed as we walked upstairs to get me a cleaner shirt.




While I did that, I started playing the worst case scenarios in my head… And they were making me nervous.




“Maybe I should wait till tomorrow.” I started panicking and wanted to crawl into my bed.


“Do it now! The guys are asleep down there!” Eleanor laughed as she looked out the window.


“C’mon! Text Niall or something!”


I patted my pockets and realized I didn’t have my cellphone.


"I think I left it downstairs." I groaned and ran out to go and get it from Niall’s room.




What I wasn’t expecting was to find a shirtless Niall already in there

"Oh shit! Niall!" I felt panic starting to set in again as he turned to me.

"Oh, hey." He replied dully and put his shirt on.

"Are you okay? You sound mad..." He seemed… weird…

"Yeah. Just tired.” He shrugged and looked to me.

Why does he look like that? I just want to do what Ryan said and kiss him there and then to see if he’ll smile…




What am I saying? Shake it off.

"Umm.. Well.. Are you going to bed?" I asked as I went to grab my phone and my sketch. I saw I had two new texts from Ryan, although, one of them was marked as read.




Weird.



From: Ryan <3
Oh! Andddd... I'm glad you think I'm dateable cause you are one smoking hot babee <3 c;


From: Ryan
To bad you have a vagina. Eww *BARF*


I couldn’t help but smile at his lame texts. He was so dumb sometimes.


"Yeah... Probably..." Niall shrugged and passed me, going towards his phone.




What’s his deal? Did Julie do something?

"Oh... Well... Can we talk before you do? I really have to say something to you..." I cleared my throat to get that big lump out.

"Go ahead." He muttered while looking at his phone.


Well… Someone’s grumpy…


"Umm... I wanted to tell you face to face... Because I don't know how you might react..." He turned and looked at me… With an intense stare. I don’t know if I could go on… I think I should just run or something and tell him I just needed toilet paper or something….

Why did she have to do this to me?

"Go on." He nodded.

"Oh... Okay... Well... It's about you... And Harry–"

"Did I ever tell you how much I love that we're friends? I'd hate for us to ever lose one another because of something stupid." He cut me off with a smile.






Wh-what?

"Uhh... Y-yeah..." What was he getting at?
"Yeah, your right." I nodded and tried to think about what he was trying to tell me…



"I'm glad we're close friends."

We’re friends.










That’s right.










Well… Worse case scenario; Check.

"Yeah! Me too! Umm... I'm gonna go find the girls!" I smiled and ran out and up the stairs.


“Why did you take so- What’s wrong?” Eleanor ran up to me.




I didn’t realize it… But… I was sobbing…





I broke down.












“I should’ve known I was too late.”




~




“You okay now?” Perrie patted my back and I nodded from under my sheets.


“I don’t get why he would say that though.” Eleanor paced back and forth.
“We gotta go and find him.” She tried pulling me out of bed.



“No! I’m done. I’m done. I don’t want anything to do with boys. I’m gonna go lesbian.” I groaned as she got me out.


“Let’s go Perrie! Help me!”


The two forced me to look around the second floor and downstairs. We looked around but found nothing. The kitchen was empty, the living room was deserted, and it seemed too quiet.


“I hear them! The guys room!” Eleanor nodded to Harry’s room.


We bursted in and caught them in the middle of a wrestling match amongst each other.

They stopped once they saw us at the door.


“Oh, Hey!” Harry stood up and smiled at me.


I waved a small hello and looked around.




No Niall.




“Where’s Niall?” Eleanor asked with a bit of annoyance.


“I think he’s outside? Why? And why is Jamie’s eyes red?” Louis asked as he started getting up and walking towards us.


“Thanks Bye!” She closed the door and we ran out.


“Guys… Let’s just drop it! I get it! He doesn’t-”


Eleanor opened the door up, and my heart started to ache.















I didn’t know what to do…

















































“Niall? Julie?”



The two snapped out of their kiss and looked at us all.


“Umm… I umm…” Julie stammered.


“What are you guys-”


“Took you long enough!” I chuckled and held on to Perrie and Eleanor’s hands.
“Sorry we interrupted. Bye!” I winked and left with the girls.


“Jamie? What’s the matter?” Louis and Harry were waiting by the steps, and soon, Zayn and Liam followed.


“I dare you guys to not rub it in my face…” I muttered and ran upstairs.



“Jamie! Come back!”



I closed the door to my room and slid down, letting the tears flow out.
I couldn’t believe it…. But… Niall liked Julie all along. I was too late and I should have known that I blew my chance ages ago. I was too dumb though… I was too naive. I let my walls come down, and now; I ended up hurting myself.
I got up and crawled onto my bed, letting my heart let the pain out with my tears.












“Jamie?”












No… Please no…






“Eleanor told me what happened… And… Niall’s a complete idiot.” I turned around to face a red eyed Harry.
“I wish I was him… I wish I was the one you liked… I wouldn’t have broken your heart the way he just did…” He crawled into the bed with me and just stared at me.


“I’m sorry Harry… I…” I closed my eyes and started to cry again.



“Tell me what’s on your mind…”







“I don’t want to talk about it…”





~




“Anyone want some more-”


“Me!” Zayn waved his hand.


“No, me!” Perrie pointed at herself.


“You’ve had like eight servings Perrie!” Liam laughed.


“I think I’ll give it to Harry.” I chuckled and gave him the crepes.


“No fair!” Louis pouted with his mouthful.


“Thanks.” Harry smiled up to me.


“No, thank you.” I smiled and sat down besides him.



We ended up falling asleep on one another, both broken hearted; Me by Niall… And Harry by me…



Why is he still talking to me? I have no clue. If I were him, I would’ve been like ‘Fuck that bitch.’ Then again… I should do the same with Niall I suppose…



“I smell food!”





Speak of the devil…





“Why is everyone so quiet?” Niall laughed and took a seat across from me.




Our eyes met for a second… And I felt my heart start shattering all over again.




“Had a good nights rest?” I tried smiling at him.








I couldn’t let the others see how hurt I was. I would prefer to be broken hearted and see Niall happy, than to lose two of my friends cause I made a mistake.


“Good! My head kinda hurts though… I think I had one too many…”


“And you ate one too many. You stunk up the whole room.” We all laughed at Liam’s joke.





At least they were trying to break the tension….


















I hope you’ll be happy Niall….
That’s all I really want…




















































































[Julie’s P.O.V.]


“You’re a bitch!” Maritza laughed from the Skype call.


“I didn’t mean to! It just happened! I planned on getting Harry and Jamie together, but, who knows what the fuck Jamie did to make Niall think Ryan and her had a thing.” I laughed.


I feel kinda guilty that I didn’t tell Niall that Ryan was gay, but, I think I’ll save that for later… Besides, it wasn’t my fault. I never meant for things to go this far… But… Im here now and I cant turn back.


“I got Niall and that’s all that matters now. Jamie will get over it eventually.”


“What if she finds out about your little bitch scheme?” Maritza chuckled.


“Don’t worry. By the time she does, I’ll have Niall eating out of the palm of my hand…”

Notes
