Her Cousin **ON HOLD**

Alice's POV

"Hey."

I turned and saw Barbara. How did she get in my house? I guess I forgot to lock the door....again. Well, fuck.

"Oh...hey." I slightly smiled. She smiled back and sat down on the couch. I sat across from her.

"Well. Mike texted me and wanted to know if you wanted to go out. You know, on a double dat with Niall and I." She smiled.

I looked at her. And it was a look full of pure fucking shock. What the fuck did she just say? Her and Niall?...what the fuck is going on?

"What?" I asked, surprised. She pulled out her phone and began searching though it.

"Mike...from the photo shoot. He likes you. A lot." She responded, slowly. "And here. Niall just sent me this." Se held up her phone, and I read the message.

'Hey babe. Dinner tom? Bring whoever you want :)...it won't matter. It'll just be us anyways...love you xxx ~N'

"What?" I repeated again. She giggled and put her phone away.

"Yea...isn't he sweet?" She asked, as if she was in a daydream. "Anyways....You and Mike?"

"Umm.." I contemplated. How could he? And he has the nerve to ask me out! And then Barbara! Who the fuck does he think he is? I should've known he was just a player.... "Yea..sure. Whatever." I said quickly.

Too much thoughts of Niall were on my mind to actually listen to what I said. Why would he do this?

"Great!" She squealed. "You okay? You look like a ghost."

"I-I'm fine. Just a stomach ache. I'll be fine for tomorrow though. Don't worry." I smiled and laid across the couch. She smiled wider then before, her blue eyes sparkling.

"And we can have El and Louis come too!! It's perfect!" She squeaked. "Sorry, bae. Got to go!"

She ran out of the room, happy. I on the other hand, felt like I was hit by a bus. Niall fucking Horan. Wo does he think he is?....playing with my heart like that? And Barbara's too! He's such a douche.

I smiled as I thought of Mike. New guy, fresh start.

Fuck you Niall.

If you really loved me, than you wouldn't have done that.

Then, I did the inevitable. I called him. Why? Not to yell...just be a lady and cancel. But who said I had to say it like one?!

"Hey!" He answered happily.

"Wow. Some actor you are." I said. "You know, you're real piece of work, Niall."

"Umm....thanks? What's up with you?" He responded, confused. I rolled my eyes and scoffed. He's really something.

"Just called to tell you I don't go out with fucking douches...so unfortunately we can't go out tonight. It's against my rules."

"What the -"

With that, I hung up. Not before adding "Fuck you." Real fast. Ahh...the irony.


Jessica's POV

There was a knock at the door. Harry chuckled and pulled away. "Hide. Just in case. Please?" He begged. I smirked and raised my eyebrows. "Please?" He repeated.

I groaned. "Fine. Just this once" he smiled and kissed my lips before running to the door. Another knock, turned into banging.

I shut the door to a closet, and smiled. The feeling of his lips lingered on mine. It was a good feeling....that I liked.

"I don't fucking know!" I heard Harry yell. I pressed my ear to the door and listened.

"Well, it has to be something!! No one just calls you a douche and cancels for no reason!" I heard....Niall. Yep, Niall yell in response. I concluded it was only Niall, and no one to fear, so I came out.

"What is going on?" I asked and walked in.

"Yea, what the fuck is wrong with Alice, huh?!" Niall yelled and stepped three feet away. He was furious. Jaw tightened, and fists clenched, he breathed in and out deeply.

"What are you talking about?" I asked again. He stepped forward and a mere five inches separated us.

"Alice! She just cancels for no fucking reason and calls me a douche! What the fuck Is that?!" He shouts. His fist raises, and I shut my eyes, waiting for the impact of it to my face.

But it never comes.

I open my eyes, and Niall's breathing heavily, trying to calm himself.

"Hey, hey. Calm down. Let's sit." Harry's offers and slightly smiles. I agree, wanting to know what Alice was thinking. Seriously though....

What was she?
