Midnight Memories

-----Niall’s POV-----
I yawned, leaning against the kitchen counter, my eyes scanning the now empty living room. Cups littered the floor, spilled alcohol and food staining the carpet. This was going to cost us a lot to clean, but I didn’t really care, it’s not like we couldn’t afford it. One of the perks of being a worldwide star. And also, it had been far too good a night to think about the mess left behind. I grinned, remembering how it felt when I kissed Amelia. A soft pressure against my arm called me back to the present, glancing down to see Amelia, leaning against me, clearly struggling to keep her eyes open.

“Whose apartment is this?” She asked, stifling a yawn. “It’s a little bit of a mess”

“It’s no one’s, we get sick of staying in hotels while touring, and we were going to be here for a few days so we rented an apartment instead” I explained, laughing at her blank expression, obviously struggling to take in anything I was saying in her tired and still slightly drunken state.

Her mouth formed into a small ‘O’, understanding what I had said after a few moments of processing my words, yawning again and dropping down onto the stool behind her. I threw my arm around her shoulder, her head flopping sideways to lean against my body. I noticed a small smile from Louis, who had been watching our actions intently since we had returned from the second sitting room, still amused by the fact he had walked in on us. I glanced up, observing Harry walk into the kitchen, wondering where he had disappeared to earlier in the night. A small giggle from beside me drew my attention to the girl by my side.

“There isn’t even any music” She laughed, the alcohol in her system making everything funnier than it probably was. “Evie is still dancing and there isn’t even any music”

I laughed, turning my attention to the other side of the room and noticing that, sure enough, Evie was twirling around the room, occasionally bumping into a sofa or coffee table.

“Liam” I turned to face my friend, who was standing behind me in the kitchen, chatting to Zayn. “Do you think you could help Evie to bed? I think it’s about time for her to go to sleep. You girls can stay here tonight, saves you getting a taxi back to your hotel”

“You are a true gentleman, Niall” Amelia graced me with a sweet smile, before returning to her previous position, leaning against me and closing her eyes.

“Of course I can” Liam laughed in response, making his way across the room and taking Evie’s arm, halting her twirls, an action she didn’t seem particularly keen on. She shot Liam a frown, pulling her arm away and continuing to twirl. I laughed as a yelp sounded throughout the apartment, Liam deciding it would probably be easier to simply pick Evie up, throwing her over his shoulder. She kicked her legs in protest for a moment before releasing an exasperated sigh, admitting defeat and allowing Liam to carry her away.

“Good night Meels” She called over Liam’s shoulder, who rolled his eyes, shooting me a small smirk and a nod before disappearing through the door. Amelia responded with a quiet hum, lacking the motivation to actually produce any words, let alone a sentence. I heard yet another from yawn beside me, looking down to see Amelia, her eyes closed, practically fallen asleep leaning against me.

“Amelia” I spoke softly, placing my hand on her shoulder and shaking her gently. Her eyes opened slowly, her features sporting a thoroughly unimpressed expression. “Maybe it’s time for you to go to bed; you can stay in my room tonight”

“Will you be staying in your room also?” she asked, a small smirk playing on her lips, “Because you’re very welcome to stay in your room with me”

I stifled a laugh as she grinned, shooting me a cheeky wink.

“You head on to bed, I’ll be right there in a minute” I smiled, taking her hands and lifting her from the chair. “My room is the fourth door on the left”

She stumbled to her feet, using my arm to regain her balance before placing a kiss on my cheek and turning to face Harry, Louis and Zayn.

“Goodnight boys” She yawned “Thanks for the great party” She gave them a thumbs up, before yawning once again and turning to head out of the room. I watched her as she walked away from me, failing to grab the door handle twice and proceeding to walk into the door frame before she finally managed to make it out of the room, sending us a quick wave to ensure us she was okay.

-----Amelia’s POV-----
I stumbled to my feet, struggling to maintain my balance, the champagne clearly still having an effect on my stability, my tiredness not making it any better.

“Goodnight boys” I yawned “Thanks for the great party” I gave them a thumbs up, before yawning once again and turning to head out of the room. I stumbled away from the boys, reaching out for the door handle and failing to grab it twice. Why did the door handle keep moving, I don’t understand. I proceeding to walk into the door frame before finally managing to find my way out of the room, sending the boys a quick wave to ensure them I was okay, despite hitting my head. I entered the long hallway, trying to remember what room was Niall’s.

“Third door on the right?” I mumbled to myself “Yeah that sounds about right”

I stumbled through the door into the bedroom, feeling slightly confused when I spotted someone already sleeping on the bed. I walked closer to see Rosa, passed out in amongst the sheets. Glancing around the room, I came to the conclusion that this was in fact, the wrong room, assuming that it must be Harry’s seeing as Rosa was here. I crept towards the bed, crawling across the sheets and leaning over Rosa.

“Good night my angel” I whispered to my sleeping friend, “Don’t have sex with Harry” I giggled, rolling off the bed and attempting to make my way back into the hallway.

“Okay, so not the third on the right” I muttered to myself again, my hand reaching up to the wall for assistance in walking. “Fourth on the right?” I questioned.

“Amelia?” I voice called from behind me, I spun to face the voice, losing my balance and tumbling forward. Luckily I fell into the arms of Liam, whose quick reactions saved me from hitting the floor. “Steady!” he gasped, pulling me back to my feet, “What are you doing?”
“Uh… I was trying to find Niall’s room but I forgot what room he said, and then I fell over” I slurred my words, leaning against the wall and steadying myself.

“Okay” he laughed, “Niall’s room is this way” He smiled, wrapping his arm around my waist and helping me towards the bedroom. Fourth door on the left, I knew that. I stepped through the door, thankful of Liam’s arm keeping me on my feet.

“I’m sure Niall will be here in a minute” he smiled, releasing me and allowing me to sit on the bed. “Are you going to be okay?”

“I’ll be fine, thanks Liam” I smiled as he turned to leave the room, “Liam!” I called after him, causing him to pause at the door, turning to face me. “You better be nice to Evie” I shot him a cheeky wink, before flopping back on the bed, closing my eyes. I heard him laugh before leaving the room and closing the door gently behind him. I sat back up, my eyes scanning the room. I got to my feet, stumbling towards the en suite bathroom, flicking on the light switch and standing in front of the mirror. I filled the sink with warm soapy water and began to remove my makeup, the warm water soothing my skin. I smiled at my blurry face in the mirror, concluding that I had removed all my makeup and heading back into the bedroom. I looked around the room for a minute, unsure of what I should wear to bed. Should I steal something of Niall’s? I think I’d wait until he got here.

-----Harry’s POV-----
I stood in the kitchen, laughing as Liam carried Evie out of the room, as she admitted defeat and said goodnight to Amelia. Amelia and Niall were looking rather comfortable together, although I think Amelia might have fallen asleep. I crossed the kitchen to grab a glass of water, laughing again as I watched Amelia attempting to leave the room, quite unsuccessfully. I took a seat next to Niall, taking a sip of my water, noticing Zayn grinning at me out of the corner of my eye. I placed my glass onto the counter, turning to face him.

“What?” I asked, “What are you grinning at?”

“Oh nothing… I was just wondering where you’ve been” Zayn questioned, “I haven’t seen you… or Rosa… all evening”

“So what have you been up to?” Niall giggled from beside me.

“Don’t start questioning me on what I’ve been up to Niall” I raised my eyebrows at him, laughing at his startled expression. “We all know what you’ve been up to this evening”

He spun to face Louis and Zayn; a questioning look plastered his face.

“Sorry mate, we couldn’t help it” Louis laughed, “We might have told everyone”

Niall’s cheeks flushed pink as he dropped his head into his arms, leaning on the counter. Well luckily it looked like I’d managed to distract attention from me, and embarrassing Niall at the same time. Bonus. Obviously noticing my proud expression, Zayn turned the attention back to me.

“Oh no Styles, you’re not getting out of this by embarrassing Niall!” Zayn announced, “We want to know what you are Rosa got up to this evening, after you disappeared from the party”

I sighed, realising I’d have to explain. How could I do this without sounding like I was possessive and crazy?

“Rosa was a bit drunk, and some guy was hassling her, so I got rid of him and took her out to the balcony to give her some air” I explained.

“And…” Louis smiled, leaning on his elbows against the counter, pressing me to continue.

“And… we just chilled out on the balcony for a bit and talked” I continued, “Then she fell asleep so I put her to bed”

“Okay… if you say that’s all that happened” Liam, who had entered the kitchen a few moments before, winked at me. “We’ll let you have your secrets”

“Whatever, I’m going to bed” I sighed, rising from my chair and making my way towards the door.

“Okay Styles, have fun” Louis called, the guys all breaking into fits of laughter behind me. I ignored their teasing, strolling back into my room, noticing Rosa still sleeping in my bed. I smiled, walking towards her and pulling the duvet up over her body, carefully so as not to wake her. Her body stirred, a small sigh leaving her lips as she opened her eyes and turned towards me.

“Oh hello Harry” She whispered to me. “Are you going to bed now?”

“Yeah, I am” I smiled, turning and heading for the door.

“Where are you going?” She questioned, sitting up in the bed.

“I’m sleeping on the sofa” I replied.

“Oh no” she replied, sitting up in bed and pulling the sheet off her. “I don’t want to kick you out of your bed, I can sleep on the sofa”

“You are not sleeping on the sofa” I laughed in response, returning to sit beside her on the bed.

“Well then, I guess we’re both sleeping in here” She smiled, lifting the sheet and patting the bed beside her. I laughed, pulling my shirt and jeans off, aware that her eyes were on me, before I climbed into bed beside her. I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her in towards me. She rested her head on my chest, her arm draped over my stomach. I smiled, closing my eyes and drifting off to sleep.

-----Niall’s POV-----
I realised that I’d left Amelia alone in my room for about 10 minutes now and should probably go see if she’s okay. I pushed my bedroom door open, revealing Amelia, sitting in the middle of the bed, makeup around her eyes.

“Hello Niall” She smiled, waving at me.

“Hello Amelia” I replied, “Are you okay? You have a little mascara around your eyes”
I laughed as she rose from the bed, looking in the mirror.

“Oh dear, I didn’t notice that, I couldn’t see my face very well” she sighed, sitting back on the bed.

I searched in the bathroom for a moment before finding a packet of baby wipes and pulling one out of the packet. I made my way over to the bed and sat down beside her, beginning to gently wipe the makeup away from her eyes. Once I was satisfied I’d removed all the makeup I could, I dropped the baby wipe into the bin.

“Did you want to borrow something to sleep in?” I asked, noticing she was still wearing her party dress.

“Yes please, I was going to, but I didn’t just want to root through your clothes” She smiled sweetly.

I rummaged through my drawers for a minute before finding a suitable t-shirt. I handed her the t-shirt, which would probably be quite big on her. I watched her as she rose to her feet, reaching her hands behind her, attempting to find the zip in the back of her dress. I laughed, noticing her struggling, unable to find the zip, turning on the spot confusedly.

“Do you want some help there” I chuckled, walking towards her as she shot me an exasperated look. I scooped up her long blonde curls, throwing them in front of her shoulder and revealing the zip. I gently pulled the zip down, revealing her bare back. I didn’t want her to think I was taking advantage of her because she was drunk, so I took a step back, allowing her to continue changing herself. She turned to face me, looking confused at my moving away from her.

“What’s wrong?” She asked, tipping her head to the side questioningly.

“Nothing, I just don’t want you to think I’m taking advantage of you or anything” I explained, looking down at my feet. “You’re still a little bit drunk”

“Don’t be silly Niall” She giggled, lifting her arms and allowing her dress to drop to her feet, leaving her in just her underwear. “I’m not really that drunk anymore”

I tried to peel my eyes away from her body, but to no avail. She laughed as she turned around and picked up the t-shirt, pulling it over her head, the t-shirt falling to her mid thighs, covering her body. I tried to compose myself as she walked towards me. I felt her hand take mine as she smiled up at me.

“Let’s go to bed” She whispered, turning and leading me towards the bed. She pulled the sheets back and climbed in, waiting for me to get changed. I removed my shirt and jeans, so I was in just my boxers. Throwing an old t-shirt on, I climbed into bed next to her, pulling her into my arms.

“Goodnight Amelia” I whispered, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead.

“Goodnight Niall” She replied, closing her eyes and snuggling into my chest.
