Part of You

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saturday
Hailie’s POV

‘’Believe me, it was painful to refuse you.’’
‘’I have this feeling growing in me since I talked to you.’’
‘’I know that’s a bit silly and fast.’’
‘’I’m sorry you won’t remember tomorrow, but I’ll give it a shot.’’
‘’I knew you would regret it.’’
‘’I guess I can’t change that.’’
‘’I care about you.’’
‘’I love you, Hailie.’’

My eyelids lazily opened. My vision was completely blurred. I’m not comfortable; where am I? When my eyes adjusted in the unknown environment, my brain tardily recognized the room I was in: Perrie’s kitchen.

Oh right, the party.

At this new information syncing in, my head was pounding at the same pace of my heart. I could easily hear the blood running in my ears. I attempted to lift my arms to my forehead, but something blocked the way.

I turned gradually my head to my right, making sure my headache wouldn’t intensify. I found out in no time what was interfering with my arms.

Niall was sleeping next to me, his arm on me. I noticed he was bare chest. I heard a small snoring coming from the other side. I turned again slowly my head and gasped.

Harry was there, sleeping, in the same position as Niall. Needless to say he was in bare chest too.

How the hell did I ended up in this situation, with two half naked guys cuddling me?

I got up quickly, scenarios running in my hurtful brain. I looked down at them to see if I had waked them up. Fortunately, they were still sleeping. I released the breath I was holding since I discovered that strange sleeping position: I was still fully clothed.

And then, the most hilarious thing happened.

Niall moved his arm where I used to be and scooted closer until he found Harry’s shoulder. He rested his arm on Harry’s waist.

Just when I thought the scene was over, Harry patted Niall’s chest and placed his arm in the exact posture of Niall. He smiled weakly.

‘’…love you…’’ Harry mumbled.

I chuckled loudly and brought my hands to cover my mouth. My head started to pound again. Alright, let’s try not to laugh.

I had to do something. I checked in my pocket if my phone was still there. Thank god, it was. I pulled out my phone and unlocked it. Don’t wake up, don’t wake up.

I clicked on the icon of the camera and framed the moment. I bit my lower lip to trap my laugh in my mouth. I took a few shoots. Just before I locked my phone, Niall moved a little.

‘’Mm…’’ Niall groaned. He furrowed his eyebrows. At the same time, Harry had opened one eye.
Oh god, this will be funny. I changed the mode of the camera and started recording.

Niall opened his eyes and looked at Harry. He hadn’t realized it was him yet. Harry was now fully awake and stared horrified at him. Niall’s expression changed drastically when he recognized who he was cuddling with.

‘’WHAT THE FUCK!?’’ They yelled and jumped away from each other.

That’s it: even though my head was hurting so bad, I couldn’t hold back my laughter. I stopped filming and collapsed on the floor. My belly was contracting so much because of my uncontrollable laugh.

‘’WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING!?’’ Niall shouted at Harry.

‘’I could ask the same question to you!’’ Harry replied, shocked.

I laughed even more, if it was possible. That’s when they noted my presence.

‘’Ha-have you seen this?’’ Niall stuttered.

I couldn’t speak yet. I lifted my arm, showing my phone so they could understand that everything was in there now.

Niall eyed out my hand, dumbfounded.

‘’Oh shit.’’ He said and buried his face between his hands.

‘’What are you doing there anyway, Hailie?’’ Harry asked.

‘’I-I…’’ I tried to ease up my laughter. I sat up and cleared my throat before continuing. ‘’I awake between you two. Now explain me we decided to sleep like that.’’ I gestured their bare chests.

‘’We had a mustard battle.’’ Harry pointed Niall.

‘’Yeah, I remembered that part.’’ Niall lifted his face. ‘’We removed our shirts because they were all covered up with mustard.’’

I didn’t memorize that scene of the night.

‘’Hope you hadn’t destroyed Perrie’s house.’’ I shrugged.

They both frowned.

‘’You’re the one who started it.’’ Niall said.

‘’Don’t you remember? I think I left my phone somewhere in the house, but I have some pretty pictures of you in action!’’ Harry patted his jeans’ pocket to verify if his phone was there.

I searched even more into my brain, but still, I couldn’t find any memory corresponding with what they were describing me. I shook my head.

‘’In fact, everything begins to be vague after I drank 3 shooters of tequila and something else. After that, it’s just bits of memories… Oh, and I remembered I puked in front of you, Harry.’’

‘’When were you sick?’’ Niall questioned.

‘’I… don’t know.’’

‘’Wow! So you were that wasted. Jeez Hailie, you’re really becoming a bad ass!’’

‘’No, I am not! I just drank too much!’’ I defended.

‘’Two days in one week; that could become a problem you know.’’ Harry winked.

‘’Told you I sense you’d become an alcoholic!’’ Niall said.

Because I had nothing to reply, I laid down on my back. For a moment, my headache dissipated, but it quickly regained his power when Niall shouted.

‘’My little Puffy is hangover, aaaawn.’’ He rested his head on my belly.

‘’Niall, get your head off of my stomach or I’ll have the pleasure to puke on you.’’ I warned him.

‘’Hey guys, come check that out.’’ Harry gestured us to come. He was now up on his feet.

Niall got up in no time, while I was struggling how to calm down my abdomen. We joined Harry and looked in the living room. I smiled at the adorable vision: Louis was lying on the floor with Eleanor on his side, one arm around El’s waist. So, things began to move between them. Conclusion: the party was a success. Above them, on the couch, Perrie was sleeping with Zayn. I was a bit bitter by the situation, since she’s cuddling with Zayn, but they were cute. On the other couch, now that was another story: Jayden was half on the couch, half on the floor. Looking at his strange and uncomfortable posture reminded me he hadn’t told me what he had to. At least I remembered that part of the party!

Will had fallen asleep sitting next to Jayden. I remarked he had something black on his cheek, surely done with a Sharpie. Oh. A… male organ. Some people are more creative than the other…

‘’Why were we sleeping in the kitchen? We’re so outcast!’’ I noticed.

‘’Because you are selfish and you wanted to keep the best guys all for yourself.’’ Niall concluded.

‘’You have no proof, Ni.’’

‘’Yes, we do: we have no more shirts on.’’ Harry specified.

‘’But it was the stupid mustard fight you had!’’

‘’You started it.’’ Niall added.

‘’I don’t even remember!’’ I pleaded.

‘’This was all part of your plan. You tricked us.’’

I huffed furiously and went upstairs to escape them. First: they were annoying the crap out of me. Second: they were half naked and that’s disconcerting. I have seen twice Harry’s bare chest, and once was completely enough. And Niall… I can’t just stare at my best friend. That’s creepy. And last but not least: I’m freaking tired. How much did I drank?

I opened carefully Perrie’s bedroom and poked my head in. Unfortunately, someone was already occupying the bed that I desired. I recognized instantly the same mop of chocolate-brown curly hair I saw in the bathroom yesterday night.

Right, Liam entered in the bathroom just after I thought about Lily…

‘’It’s not polite to stare at someone sleeping. It’s quite scary.’’

‘’Sorry, just looking for a comfortable place to sleep; the floor’s kitchen isn’t exactly what I would call ‘comfy’.’’ I excused myself and closed the door and sighed desperately. Let’s pray the guess room is still available; I don’t want to crash in Deb and Alex’s bedroom. As much as I appreciated them, I don’t want to touch at their… ‘Playground’, if you know what I mean.

Gladly, the guess room was empty. I flopped on the bed. Finally, something adequate for my back! I sighed, smiling, and closed my eyes.

Harry’s POV

I paced through the veranda, anxious. Hailie affirmed a good part of the night was completely black out in her mind. She remembered being sick in front of me, but I have no clue about the part I told her my feelings.

What an idiot, I knew it was a bad idea! I should’ve kept my mouth shut. By now, I should probably act like nothing happened, but I’m burning to know.

I searched around for my hoodie. Last seen, it was laying somewhere in the veranda. When I spot it, I put it on. When I stepped in the living room, Niall was lazily climbing the stairs. I noticed movements on the couch. Perrie had turned around and… What was his name again? Zack? One thing I’m sure, I identified him as ‘Malik guy’ all night.

Zack stood up, trying not to step on Eleanor and Louis. I turned back to the kitchen and sat on the stool. I leaned on the island and rested my chin in my palm. What should I do about Hailie?

‘’Yo.’’ Zack greeted.

‘’Hi Zack.’’

‘’It’s Zen.’’ He corrected me.

‘’Sorry, I get confuse with all the new names of everyone.’’ I apologized.

‘’You’re the new guy, uh?’’

I nodded. Zayn opened the fridge for something to eat. Way to be polite in someone else’s house. My stomach approved Zayn’s action by gurgling. Maybe it wasn’t that impolite after all…

‘’New guy hungry? Well me too, and there is nothing in that damn fridge.’’ He complained.

‘’We could go grab breakfast for everyone.’’ I suggested.

‘’Not a bad idea. I’m driving.’’
