**nials POV**

"i'll have a low fat carmel latte." harry, one of my bandmates, orders his coffee. i saw i'll have the same, but in a larger size of course. i am niall horan, king of eating. the place is empty. its easter and i have no plans, being that my family is at home.
"should we sit or go?" i ask hazza. he bobs his shoulders. i find a place to sit. harry may have a womanizer image but he can be almost as sweet at liam. niether of us have a girl, i have no princess, no queen of eating to reign with me. hazza has no woman. we bonded over a time of being the only lads not having a girlfriend.
"what are you doing for the rest of the day?" hazza asks.
"nothing, probably just going to relax all day." i reply almost sad at my day plans. i can't really put my finger on it, but me and harry have a mutual depression going on.
"i'm going to go out with the lads, do you want to come?" i smile, harry could see through right through me sometimes. liam had already invited me. but i didn't want to come.
"no thanks, i'll just relax at home." i say. i felt guilty for not wanting to hang out with the guys, but i am in a funk. well maybe being with the guys would help. i don't even want to think about being alone right now. maybe harry wasn't as depressed as i was. maybe there is something wrong with me. i push the thoughts aside and change my mind. i agree to go with harry and the rest of the band. the food offer won me over, what can i say? i get prepared to leave when i get a text from liam.

lili: hey can you do me a favor and pick the dog up for me?
ni: what ever happened to thursday? and can't dani do it?
lili: we want him now. you guys can see the dog at home. and dani is out with el and perrie
ni: call me.

my phone starts ringing.
"hey nialler ready to pick up my dog." harry gives me a quizical look. i brush it off
"what are you talking about?" i say "i don't know how to get a dog?" why was liam asking me to do this?
"i have paid the fee, all you have to do is pick him up, i'll give scarlette a call.."
"who is scarlette?" harry perked up at the name of a girl. just like i did.
" she is the worker that showed us the dog." he replys "i'll give her a call" i don't even know where to go..
"where is the dog even at?" poor harry is just staring at me.
"happy paws rescue center" he says without missing a beat.
"are you sure?" i ask
"come on man, just go and ask for scarlette" he chuckles "you will know her when you see her."
what does that mean i ask myself
"whatever see you in a bit. with your new dog"
" thanks so much ni-ni" his voice ringing in triumph. well here i go i supose.

**scarlettes POV**

"Yea okay, i'll keep an eye out for him" that rich man tells me he has a friend coming to pick the puppy up. he says he and his girlfriend want him for easter. ugh im working on easter. at least i could bring alea to work, she loves the animals as much as i do. i try really hard to make her happy. she and mackenzie are the only family i've got, and i love them so much. i walk to the grooming station, where mackenzie and alea stand admiring some collie.
"hi there!" i greet the collie overly enthusiastic. then i say hello to the girls. i can't belive how amazing my best friend is, basically becoming a-whole-nother big sister for alea. these two are the only two people in the world who understand me, who know why i'm afraid of meeting new people. my past, dark and foggy, holds me hostage. maybe someday i will be able to talk about it. i pray for that day. i'm not sure how Alea knows but she told Mackenzie. so i know she found out. mom probably told her before... before... i push these thoughts aside, my heartbeat speeding. i take a deep breath and mackenzie envolopes me in a hug. i must have blacked out. tears begin to form but i force my self to breath and slow my heartbeat. mackenzie pushes me to arm lenght, still holding on to my shoulders, looking me in the eyes. searching for a response. i don't think i can describe the pit in my stomach. it feels like it's slowly growing, just waiting for the chance to engulf me, swallow me whole, and take me from the earth, leaving not a trace that i was ever here. i push the thoughts away again and shake my head, symbolically ridding me of my worries. i give kenzie a weak smile, and in a very small voice thank her.
the door bell jingles and for a second she looks doubtful. but she looks to alea. alea nods and pulls me next to her. alea is so pretty. she has long firey red hair that i could only wish to have.
i hear kenzie talking to someone out front. it sounded like she was apologizing but he refused to listen. i took a deep breath one last time, and walked through the door.
"woah" i hear come from someones mouth. but i didn't see whose. i hear alea burst into laughter. what was so funny?
