Pandemonium

Harry

I peek through the door to the roof, watching the way Shay and Niall fell asleep last night. They are both on pool chairs, on their sides facing each other. Niall's jumper is wrapped around Shay, and his arm is slumped over her.

I won't lie, it is kind of adorable, but I am still pissed off.

After all we have been through you would think she would learn to tell me she is going someplace instead of sneaking off.

I almost had a heart attack when she wasn't in her room this morning, ready to run through the whole hotel screaming her name.
Luke caught me just before, letting me know her and Niall went out last night, and that he has a feeling they went up to the roof.

So here I am peeking on my sister and Niall sleeping.

I turn to walk back down to the room, no point in watching them if I'm not planning on waking them up, which believe me I almost did, however, I stopped myself just in time, knowing Shay will never speak to me again.

"Where is she then?" Ashton was waiting up at the room. I didn't want to be the one to tell him about Shay and Niall, though if he didn't notice something was going on it is his own fault.
"Yeah, she'll be back soon," I shrug.

Ashton always had a thing for my sister, and even though nothing came of it, I know deep down he wished one day it would.

"Let's go find some food," I say changing the subject.
"Dani! Harry and I are out hunting down something to eat," Ashton yells out to his sister.
"Is Luke here?" I turn to look at him before leaving the room, thinking that if he's out Dani might be better coming with us.

"Yeah, they are playing cards in the room over there," Ash points while walking out. I follow him down the stairs praying that Shay and Niall won't appear, not wanting to be the one to break the news.

Dani

"I win again!" I put down my cards grinning up at Luke.

He rolls his eyes letting the cards in his hands fall to the bed, as he lies down.
"I am not playing anymore," He shouts kicking the air with his feet.

"Is it because you know I cannot be beaten or is it because you are that bad?" I mock him.
For that comment, I get a pillow thrown at my head.

Luke and I became close these past few days, both being good at observing our fellow mates and learning what others usually miss.

"So did he make his move yet?" I ask lying down next to him.
"He did, what will Ash think about this? He has a thing for Shay," Luke turns his head to look at me.

Luke, even though he was a few years older than me treated me as an equal, speaking to me at eye level, which was what made me trust him in the first place.
"He's a big boy, he will get over it," I sigh.

Since I can remember Ash fancied Shay, it was time for him to realize it is not going to happen and move on.

"What about you and the brother?" Luke asked. I throw the pillow back at him, pulling a face at the referring to Harry, him knowing I hated when he called him that.
Even though things were much better between us all, Luke and Niall had this little barrier when it came to Harry, him never truly coming to trust them.

"I don't know.. When he takes me on drives it's all magical and fun, and we chat about everything really, but then we get back, and he spends his time with Ashton or Shay, forgetting about me," I pout.

"Listen love, if it's meant to be, then it's meant to be," Luke says softly.
"Maybe I shall find a different boy to fancy, it might be easier,"
"That might be a good idea, then, he might get jealous," Luke sends me a wicked wink.

Shay

It takes me a moment to figure out where I am and why I was feeling chilly. Then I spot Niall next to me and a smile is painted on my face.

I watch his eyelashes as they lay fanned on his cheek. It keeps amazing me how come boys get such long eyelashes.

I reach out and touch the tip of his hair, letting my fingers brush through them.
As I do, he jumps out of his sleep, sitting up startled.

"Sorry," I shift back, my eyes wide with fright by his sudden movment.

"Shit- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you, I just..." His voice trails off when he notes a faint smile shadowing the corners of my lips.

"What?" He raises a brow with confusion.
"Oh nothing.. It's just nice to see someone else be jumpy for once," I giggle.

Niall reaches out to brush a strand of hair out of my face.
"Do you fancy some breakfast?" He asks then, grinning at me.
"I do, though I fancy a shower first," I stand.

"Come on then," He gets up, taking my hand in his. It was such an effortless move, it came so natural it warmed my heart.

Niall's jumper was still wrapped around my shoulders, making sure I am safe from the morning cold.

As we stride to our room we collide with Harry and Ashton, who seem to be back from fetching some food.

I notice Ashton's eyes trail down to the linked fingers between Niall and I, and I feel my face flush. I always knew Ashton had feelings for me, so I didn't want to wave this new relationship in his face.

I release the presser to Niall's hand, though he did not let go, keeping my palm secure in his.

"Rise and shine," Harry smiled, tapping on my back.
I knew what he was doing. He was trying to play cool, make this whole thing less awkward then what it is.

"What did you get to eat?" I direct my question to Ash, showing him all is fine, that we are good.
"Some fruit and toast," He shrugs, showing me the content of his bag.

Ashton

I am fine! I don't care! I am over Shay! Really! Ok... not really, but I am over it.

I knew something was up with her and Niall so I wasn't surprise of their hand holding and shit.
Ok.. Maybe a little, but I don't care. We can be friends like always. We can!
I hold the door open for her. I notice his Jumper draped over her shoulders. At least he is treating her right...

Shay disappears into the bathroom for a morning shower, and I try my best not to stare after her.

"I'll get the food ready," Niall turned to say.
I nod handing over the bag with things.

"Are we cool?" He asks me, concern on his face.
"Yeah man, we're cool," I say, picking up my fist for him to bump. He flashes a smile while meeting it.

I know how this works. We must get along, since we need each other. Anyway I am fine. I don't care.

Luke and Dani run out of the room pillows in the air screaming and shouting as they do.
Harry joins in on the havoc.
I watch them from where I stand.

Danielle and Luke became so close these past few days, which was nice for her, I was happy she had someone who treated her the same, though I was slightly jealous since after all she was my sister, but then again we were never that close, until now.
At least I have Harry.

Niall

Luke mentioned him thinking Ashton has a thing for Shay, though I thought it was a soft spot, since she was Harry's sister, like Harry has this soft spot for Dani.
But I saw his face when he noticed our hand holding, and I kind of felt bad, which was another new thing for me since I never feel bad! About anything! I do what I want and the hell with whoever is not on board.

I feel the change in me since I met these lads, and I think it's for the best.

"PARTY TONIGHT PEOPLE!!!!!" Shouts from outside our room broke through my thoughts. A loud knock on the door makes us jump.
I take the few paces to reach it swinging it open.

In the hallway there are to blokes shouting and knocking on doors, letting everyone know about the party they are planning for tonight.
One of the lads was Louis.

"Oi Lou!" I shout out to him. I have never seen him so happy and loud before.

"Niall," He smiles, walking over. He is drunk, and it's only morning.
"Niall! Come here, meet my friend from back home!" He pulls on my arm, walking me over to his friend which was running around trying to knock on as many doors as he could.

"Oh!!! Did we wake you? It's quite early aint it?" His friend turned when we reach him.
He is tall with short brown hair and a happy smile. Kind of reminds me of a golden retriever.

"This is Niall, him and his friends let me ride with them here to find Loki- though they didn't want at first because, well you know… But the girl- the pretty one I told you about she's nice she wanted to help," He was talking fast, and loud.
I have this feeling he is always like this since his friend didn't seem fazed by it.

"Hi, I'm Liam," The bloke shook my hand, ignoring Louis's babbling.
"It was nice of you lot to help, you should come tonight," He smiles and nods to the door.
I turn to see who he is nodding at. I find Shay peeking through, looking at us.

"She! It's her! She wanted to help Liam! That girl!" Louis was shouting and jumping up and down.

"What is he on?" I question, having a hard time coping with this strange behavior.
"He is slightly drunk, that’s all, it's not the first time you are meeting him, you already know he is the loudest thing ever,"

With that Liam pulls Louis after him, reminding us once more about the party.
It was strange, the change in him, and I wonder if this is his true self, what made him so quiet before.
