{Katie's POV}

I slammed my alarm clock off. I don't know why I use it on the holidays. Bad habit. My phone flashed as I got a text from Erin,

ERIN: RU ready t go?

She's SUCH an early riser.

KATIE: No! I just got out of bed. Ur a crazy person!

ERIN: I'M NOT CRAZY! I'm a directioner...

Laughing, I got ready to go and ran out the door, barely hearing my mums shouts of "Where are you going?" "Why are you in such a hurry?" And the ALWAYS typical "DON'T talk to strangers" Jeesh! Mum, I'm nineteen! I can look after myself.

"Over protective mothers..." I muttered, shaking my head as I turned my keys in the ignition.

When I arrived, I immediately spotted Harry and Niall and walked over to them. Not long after, Erin arrived and we went inside.


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Do you guys wanna run across the road to the beach?" Niall asked.

The cafe was getting really busy again and someone wanted our table. We packed up and ran outside.

"LAST ONE THERE IS ON DISHES TONIGHT!" Niall shouted as he dashed accross the road.

I don't care what happens, but I refuse to do One Directions dishes. Erin had made it to the sand easily, Her long legs helped with that. Niall was just a metre in front of me and Harry, a metre behind. I was about to pick up speed when I had my feet picked up from underneath me, before I was gently dropped on the warm sand. I looked up to see Harry standing over me.

"Does this mean we're doing dishes together?" He asked playfully.

"Don't push your luck Styles"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

We walked, soaking wet, back to the boys hotel. It had only just occured to me that I hadn't seen much of Liam, Louis and Zayn. They're probably off doing something together. I was proved wrong when I walked in and noticed the three of them just sitting around. They're quieter than I thought they would be. Something doesn't feel quite right. Harry quietly said, "You guys can go shower if you want. Katie, you can use the bathroom in Niall's and my room. Erin, just head down the hall and you'll get to Lou's."

"Thanks Harry" I replyed

"No problem, I'll find something you can change into and leave it at the door"

Erin and I went our seperate ways. I walked into Harry and Niall's room. God! It was messy. Closing the bathroom door behind me, I quickly removed my clothes and jumped into the shower, feeling the cool water run down my back. I thought about the last three days...

I went to a One Direction signing.

It was probably the weirdest day I've ever experienced.

Somehow Harry slipped me his number.

I went out to coffee with Harry, Niall and my bestfriend.

I saw Eleanor and Louis break up.

The next day I met up with Harry and Niall again.

This time we went to the beach.

I'm showering in One Directions hotel room.

So much had happened... So much had changed... Why was this happening to ME? Why not some other girl... I also thought about what Erin had been saying...

Did Harry have feelings for me?

If so, are they true feelings?

Maybe more importantly... Do I have feelings in return?

It's difficult. Y'know? Loving these guys when they don't even know you exist. Pretending that you're dating them as a joke on twitter. Getting upset because you know you'll never meet them. All of a sudden, I've been plunged in the deep end. I don't know if I'd even be able to cope with the hate if I dated one of them...

With those thoughts fresh in my mind, I wrapped my towel around me and walked out to discover that a plain, but fashionable, little dress had been laid out on one of the beds. Holding my towel tight around me I picked up the dress and examined it.

"It was one of Eleanors. I found it in Lou's room. I think she left it here and I thought it looked your size."

I jumped at the sound of someone in the room. WHAT THE HELL! Who was in here? I turned and spotted Harry. Somehow I had a feeling he has no idea what privacy is. I held my towel tighter and closer to myself as he walked towards me. This was the side to Harry that directioners know about... I could see it in his eyes... But then he faltered, looked into my eyes, and then chuckled and said "I guess I should let you get changed now..."

"Y'think?!"

He left. I'm finding these boys have so many different personalities. Too many deep secrets. There's more to this lot than I think anyone knows.

{Louis' POV}

Things are still awkward between us when we are all in the same room together. I got up and went to my room. I could hear the shower running. Zayn had been in there earlier. How could he be so careless as to leave to water running? I gently opened the door but I froze when I saw the silhouette behind the shower curtain. There's someone in my shower?!? and... it was a girl? I don't think she knows I'm here... If I just slowly... walk... backwards... SLAM! The door slammed behind me.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!" Her shriek echoed off the bathroom walls "WHO. IS. IN. HERE? GET OUT!!! Ohmygod. GET OUT!!!"

"I'm so sorry. I didn't know anyone was in here." I replyed weakly "I'll... just... be... urm... going... again, I'm so sorry..."

"Wait! Is that Louis?" She asked

"Uhm... Yeah..." I said embarrasedly

"I was meaning to ask... Are you ok after what happened yesterday?"

Oh! It was the girl that has been hanging out with Harry and Niall! It's like I live to embarrass myself infront of this girl.

"I'm fine" I lied. Truthfully? I'm confused. I don't really know what to do. I'm completely lost. I'd say it's even too soon to ask how I'm feeling cause I still haven't finished processing it myself yet.

"This is kinda odd talking through a shower curtain. Don't ya think?" She piped up

"Uhm... Yea--"

"Oh! and my name's Erin!" She cut in

No matter what's going on in my life right now, I have to admit, whenever I'm around this girl I can't help but smile. She's bubbly, and crazy. She reminds me of the old me. I miss the old me.

"But now, I think, good sir" she mocked "that you better take that booty of yours outta this bathroom while I get changed"

"A friendly reminder that it is my bathroom"

"Hmph! NOT. MY. PROBLEM."

Oh, and she's sassy too...

Notes

I'm mainly just doing some fillers at the moment. There is a MASSIVE story line coming up. Just wait a little while. It takes alot of setting up.
