I sat in the car trying to avoid the conversation that was currently happening in the car. Simon made several attempts to make me talk with Niall, but with Niall being Niall, I definitely didn't want to talk to him. He's so much more self centered and cocky, he wasn't not like this at all in the beginning. He changed, and it wasn't for the best. I look around outside the car window to see Simon's contestant house. Since Simon was going to keep us all season I, and I guess Niall, decided to just stay at the contestant house; but in the west wing of the house where the contestants don't have access to.

When the car came to a complete stop I took no time to get out of the car, knowing that our driver was taking our bags in I walked straight into the house. I heard Niall calling for me, I walked faster trying to find a room for me to stay in. As I was about to walk in a room Niall grabbed my wrist and turned me to face him. I made sure to send him a glare at him but I didn't seem to phase him at all.

"What's up with all of the hate, love? Just a little longer than a year ago you were completely head over heels for me." He had his signature smirk on his lips.

His lips, I could exactly remember how they felt on my lips. How it would make my stomach warm up wanting nothing more than to just be him. I really did believe he was the love of my life

"I'm guessing you're still in love with me by the way you keep looking at my lips "

I couldn't help but to scoff at his comment.

"I would have to be pathetic to still be in love with you." I crossed my arms across my chest.

Niall put his hands right by both of my shoulders closing in on my personal space. I move as far back into the door as I could Niall face was so close to mine.

"I know you want me, and who knows, maybe I want you too." He gave me a little smile and then he kissed my cheek and walked into the room across from mine leaving me standing shocked by myself.

I don't know what I'm going to do with being in the same house as him.

I woke up to the sound of my phone of my phone going off. I squinted my eyes at the bright light that was coming through my window. I rubbed my eyes then answered my phone.

"hello?" I mumbled as I slouched forward threatening to fall forward and falling back asleep.

"good morning gorgeous, I wanted to wake you up earlier but you looked too cute to wake up. Anyways, you have about, hmm, 10 minutes to walk over to the contestant house to meet with the people we'll be working with." Niall's voice rang through the phone.

As his words start to sink in I felt anger surge through me.

"You bastard! Why didn't you wake me up!" I yelled into the phone.

I ended the call and ran to the bathroom. I brushed my hair and brushed my teeth. Not having enough time to put in my contacts I put my glasses on. I put on a red jumper some leggings and tan boots. I ran out of the front door then ran a bit of the way to get the main house. I walked through the front door going to dining room where all of the noise was coming from.

When I walked through the door way everyone turned to look at me. Niall smiled and leaned on the table, "Beautiful, isn't she? With all the beauty sleep she gets it doesn't shock me how much beauty she radiates."

I rolled my eyes and took the only empty seat there was at the table, which was by Niall. One of the kitchen workers came out and put a coffee in front of me. I whispered a quiet thank you then turned my attention to Simon's contestants.

"Hello all, I'm Elliot and I'm guessing that you guys already know my partner Niall. I'm so super excited to work with you all and help you make it to the end. So let's just start with some names then we'll talk with Simon about rehearsal time and all that. So you ready to begin?" I asked smiling.

There were choruses of yes.
