Niall's Point of View

I sat with the guys and pretended nothing was wrong. I continued playing my guitar to keep my mind off of what Harry and Ada might be doing in the kitchen. If Liam wasn't here I probably would make a scene but I need him to like me if I'm going to get his sister. I'm really lucky they let me back in their group so quickly which meant I couldn't ruin our friendship again. If this little band thing we have going on is going to work I definitely have to be okay with Harry. I can't be okay with them together though; I can't sit back and let it happen.

"Niall, hey Niall!" Zayn elbowed me. I looked at him--I guess I was zoned out. "Do you want to hang out tomorrow? We're going to play some football." No, I really don't want to.

"Yeah, sure. I have work at one so if it's before that I'll be there."

"Yeah bro, it'll be around nine. And then we're hanging at Liam's tomorrow night--just the guys. You should come."

"Alright. I guess I can text you when I get off." We all exchanged numbers. Is this what it's like to have friends? Normal friends who actually care?

I heard laughter and the two love birds walked in with their hands full.

"Woah be careful." I said as Ada fell on top of me with Zayn's drink in her hand.

"I'm so sorry Zayn."

"It's okay Ada," he grabbed the drink from her, "you didn't spill it!" She was still laying across me and I helped her up. She looked back at Harry and he was talking with Oakley--most likely about Ada.

"How was work?"

"Oh, good. Some pretty cool people came in to record and I learned a little bit more about the sound board."

"That's great." Ada sat down on the floor beside me. What the hell is she doing?

"Shouldn't you be getting back to your boyfriend?" She rolled her eyes,

"He isn't my boyfriend...yet. We're just seeing each other."

"Oh, my bad. I didn't realize there was a huge difference."

"Stop being an ass. I came over here to talk to you."

"Why? So you can hurt me even more?"

"Excuse me?" She said louder than intended.

"Not now Ada."

"You're right." She began to stand up and I grabbed her wrist. I let go quickly knowing all of our friends are around. "I thought you said not now." I put my hands up to surrender. Damn she is fine.

---

Everyone was getting pretty wasted except for Ada and me. She obviously didn't have the best first experience and I wanted to be sober when I talked to her. Right now she was catering to Harry, making sure he was okay. She unfortunately looked happy doing it.

"Who wants to play some pong?" Liam yelled.

"Yes!" Sarah turned up some music and they created teams.

"I'm going to sit out since I'm not drinking. You guys will get mad if I win." Ada laughed and sat on a counter top watching.

"Come on play Ada! Niall needs a partner!" I guess Harry always paired up with Liam so he couldn't be with Ada even if she did play. He was getting pretty drunk so Liam's words didn't effect him. I looked at her waiting for her to give me some sort of sign that it was okay or not. She didn't 'course.

"Actually, I'm going to head out. See you guys in the morning?"

"Yeah!" All the guys yelled. Sarah jumped on me and gave me a bear hug. She's definitely the wildest girl I've ever met. I walked out of the door and pulled a cigarette out of my pocket. I never smoke, not cigarettes. They're so gross but sometimes I just feel like I need it. I lit it and then it fell to the ground.

"What the hell?" I turned to see Ada swatting it out of my mouth.

"That's disgusting." I chuckled.

"Hi beautiful."

"Stop giving me nicknames, I'm not a pet." I thought I played games with her. Now she's messing with my head.

"What do you want Ada?"

"I'm sorry, for earlier that is. I didn't mean to snap at you."

"It's not a big deal." I was tired of her bull, for the first time I just wanted to go back home. Maybe even talk to El.

"Wait." Ughh, she's so...so...I don't even know. "Can I come with you?"

"Where do you think I'm going?"

"I don't know. I just don't feel like taking care of anyone tonight."

"How does Harry feel about this?"

"You can bring me back in about an hour or two, right?" I rolled my eyes,

"Sure, whatever you want Ada." She pulled me by the shoulder and looked me dead in the eye.

"Why are you acting like this?"

"Me?" I laughed, "Why are you acting like this? One day you hate me the next you like me and then we're practically on a date. Oh, and then you're holding hands with Harry and saying your together. Make up your mind Ada! You aren't going to do this to me or Harry. It's not fair."

She walked passed me and stood by the passenger side of my car. If this was any other girl I'd say screw you and push her to the ground. But Ada, I let her get in. I even opened her door. I had no idea where to take her so I just drove.

"My head hurts Niall."

"I don't have anything for you to take."

"No, it doesn't hurt like that. It's just, I don't know what's wrong with me." I looked at her curiously. She sighed, "I really like Harry. He's a gentleman and does everything I've ever wanted in a boyfriend--or whatever he is. But then you showed up and pushed me around. You made me look at life differently and experience things I would have never done before. I know I said I did these things for "information", but I think I like doing these things. I feel fearless and free when I'm with you."

That was the last thing I wanted to hear. I didn't want her to be fearless. I wanted her to be scared out of her mind so I could somehow stop as well--like tonight when she smacked that cigarette out of my hand.

"I want to know everything that happened to you but I like being this other person I can be when I'm with you."

"That's not what this is supposed to be Ada!" I raised my tone, angry at myself. What have I turned her into?

"What?"

"You're supposed to make me stop. You're supposed to tell me how stupid I am for climbing to the top of buildings and getting high and doing drugs. You aren't supposed to like it. You're supposed to help me." I pulled to the side of the road and got out of the car. It was raining but it doesn't matter; it's covering my tears.

I sat in the grass and I heard her get out and sit next to me. She rubbed my back and we sat in silence. I know she is extremely confused because I am too. I don't want to be Harry and I don't want to change for her. I want to change for me--I want to be who I used to be before Logan Carter; aka: Jumper. I hoped the rain would cover my tears but it didn't. She wiped them from my face,

"Sorry. I don't mean to like these things. I don't even want to like you and your asshole-ness. It just makes me more attracted you."

"So if I hit you a few more times you'll stop dating Harry?" It was a joke but she punched me as hard as she could in the ribs. Maybe she knew it was a joke; she would have hit me regardless. Ada stood and took my hands, helping me up.

"It's raining, be happy!" She spun in a circle and jumped in the nearest puddle which happened to be two steps from me. My pants were now soaked.

"I don't think you can go back without looking suspicious."

"I have to go back."

"Why? They can't know I'm with you?"

"My car is there asshole."

"I call you princess and beautiful and you get mad, but you call me asshole and I'm not allowed to be mad?"

"You are an asshole so I can call you an asshole." I gripped her arm tightly and pulled her in so our chests were touching.

"Well you're beautiful so I guess I can call you beautiful." Without thinking I grabbed her by the back of her neck and kissed her. She tried to pull away at first but then she let it happen. I found her arms wrapping around my neck and I grabbed her waist with my free hand. Neither one of us had any alcohol in us. We were both fully sober--well mostly sober. I was pretty high off of her.
