New Normals
Chapter Twenty
I lay in Niall's arms, and slowly drift to sleep. Anything said after 1 am, isn't somethings that was meant to be said in the first place. As he tucked a blanket around me, I sleepily whispered, "I love you Niall..."

The next morning, I wake up in my own bed, leaving me wondering if it all might have been a dream. I look down at what I am wearing, and realize that I had in fact done what I regretted.
Emotion was like my drug, or alcohol, for better words. I get drunk on it, if I feel too many things at once. So many things were swirling around my head, I still had to put the pieces together.
I look at my phone, and check the time, it was a little past ten, they would all be up by now.
I stretch, and find a sweatshirt on a chair in the corner, in Niall's scribbly penmenship, it says: "Put on some clothes before you come out."
I laugh out loud, and slide it over my head, it even smelled like him.
Everyone was dressed when I found them.
Louis, and Harry were playing a video, barely looking up at me, Zayn and Liam were sitting at the bar talking.
"Where's N-"
His arms wrap around my waist from behind me, "Morning."
"Morning," I smile back.
"Get dressed," Liam looks over at us, "We're leaving soon."
"To?" I ask, pouring a cup of coffee.
They all laugh like it's the funniest thing in the world.
"We're going to Zayn's house, pack a bag" he adds.
"Spending the night?"
"Uhhh, yeah," Harry laughs.
"We aren't spending Christmas in a hotel room."
I look at the calendar, it was December 24th.
I laugh at myself, "I didn't even realize, I lost track of time."
Niall smiles, and I start to throw a few clothes in a bag.
I shower quickly, and change into http://www.polyvore.com/random_outfit1/set?id=62967859&lid=2056264 .
I was determained to make a good first impression this time.
Niall's face appears in the mirror, "Do I look okay?" I spin.
He laughs, and pulls me to him, "You always look gorgeous.." I blush, "You'd look better with icecream on your nose though," he smiles, and runs away.
"Niall!" I half scream half laugh, and chase after him.
When I get out to the other room, I don't see him.
Just when I am about to yell his name, he grabs me from behind me, and spins me around.
I squeal, and he throw me over his shoulder. I laugh happily. We get to the other room where everyone else is.
"Are you two ready?" Liam asks impaitently.
I hop down, if Liam was in a bad mood, everyone else would be too. I look down, "Be out in a sec, you guys get in the van."
Everyone leaves except Niall and I. As soon as the door closes, we fall into a fit of laughter.
