Liams POV
To be honest, I wasn’t mad at Nicole. I should have known that she didn’t like me. I’m just upset that I let myself look at her than more as a friend. I should have never crossed over that line. I should have known the risk.

I’m not close to Nicoles sister at all, but it was nice that she was comforting and supportive. She hugged me to her side and rubbed my back and shoulder sweetly. I could tell that she was frustrated, but I’m glad that she didn’t just explode and yell at her sister for what she did. In my opinion, it wasn’t exactly Nikki’s fault. Harry pushed her over the edge.

But then again, Nikki shouldn’t have kissed me. I would have been better off without ever kissing her. Now that we have kissed, I crave her more. But I can’t be mad at her, and I can’t be mad at Harry either, I guess. Sadly, I am though. I’m mad that he didn’t even think about what he was doing. I’m mad that he didn’t make a move on her in the first place. I mean, he’s got nothing to lose.

I’m also mad that he just stomped off after Nikki just confessed that she liked him. He had the chance right then and there to confess. Was it because I confessed? What does it matter anyways, I just want Nikki to be happy and it’s now clear that Harry makes her happy. I sighed and shook my head, I don’t want to think anymore.

“What about Harry..?” Nick asked as Louis shoved everyone except Harry, Nikki and Anjelica into his van.

“I’m going to get him, but you guys need to stay in the car” Louis ordered.

“But you might catch a cold” Nick said in a small voice, which I have to admit, was freaking adorable.

“Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine and take care of things” Louis said, gently patting Nicks cheek and shutting the door.

“Liam..?” Niall asked from the front seat. I was sitting in the very back and Nick and Zayn were sitting in the middle.

“Yeah..?” I asked, my voice no louder than a whisper.

“Are you okay?” he asked, looking over his shoulder at me.

“Yeah” my voice cracked and quivered. I’m fine, really. Just caught up in all this mess, there really is no reason to be so upset...

“Oh Liam” Nick cooed and climbed over his seat to hug me. I didn’t realise that I trembling so bad, and it wasn’t because I was cold and wet.

“Is it because of me? Because I liked the wrong girl?” I asked, choking against Nicks shoulder.

“Liam, of course not!” Zayn said.

“Liam, Harry should have been honest and upfront with us about Nikki. It would have kept this from happening” Niall sincerely spoke from the front seat.

“I’m not mad at her..” I told them, unlatching myself from Nick.

“Are you mad at anyone?” Zayn asked. I looked at him and nodded. “Harry..?” he hesitantly asked. I nodded and they looked at me to further explain, but they didn’t force me too.

“I mean, it’s okay that Nikki doesn’t like me. But I mean, she likes Harry and Harry likes Nikki, so why did he just stomp off? Why didn’t he confess like Nikki did and take his chance?” I asked, and they all looked like they completely agreed.

“I don’t know..I just hope that people stop getting hurt” Nick mumbled, looking down at Zayns jacket on his shoulders.

“I wonder how Nikkis doing..” Niall mumbled. The drivers door flung open, making us stiffen. Louis quickly got in and slammed the door.

“Lou-”

“That idiot ran away from me!” Louis yelled in frustration. I cringed, my anger for Harry turning into concern. “When I tried to get him to come back, he just said that he didn’t want to hear what I had to say, and then he just ran!” Louis growled and took his keys out of his soaked pants.

“Should we go find him..?” Niall asked in concern.

“No, let the idiot run. He’ll find his own way home” Louis grumbled and started the car. Even though he was obviously angry, you could still see the deep concern and worry he was feeling for Harry.

“I dunno..” Nick said, biting his nails next to me.

“Let it be” Louis practically ordered. I looked out the window and saw Anjelica drive past us with Nikki in the passenger seat. I sighed and shook my head. The whole car drive was quiet and every minute that ticked by, I worried more and more about what’s going to happen next.

“Hey boys, you’re a little earlier than I thought you would be” Simon said when we walked through the front door. Zayn quickly escorted Nick upstairs and into his room. Niall wrapped his arm around my shoulder and we walked up to our room, leaving Louis down stairs to vent to Simon.

“You can use the bathroom first” Niall kindly offered, and for once, I didn’t object.

“Thanks” I smiled and grabbed some dry, comfortable clothes. I dried myself off with a towel and quickly changed in the bathroom that was in our room, not wanting to have Niall wait in wet clothes. I didn’t check myself in the mirror, there’s no need to. I walked out and waited for Niall to change so I could put our wet clothes in the laundry.

“Do you want to talk about it?” Niall asked when I came back from the laundry room. I shook my head no. I know that I won’t be able to keep it bottles all up, but I just don’t feel like talking right now. “Okay, just know that I’m here for you, same with the boys” Niall gave me a small smile.

“Hey Niall...?” I asked, looking down.

“Yes?” Niall replied.

“C-can I have a hug..?” I asked, a little ashamed for asking.

“Of course” Niall said and hugged me tight.

Anjelicas POV
“Care to explain why you were kissing Liam?” I asked Nikki as I drove to our place. I don’t want to yell at my sister, but she’s so stupid for kissing Liam. She just wasted her first kiss and she could have potentially ruined a very good friendship.

“I don’t know..I was just upset..” Nikki said, looking down in shame.

“That doesn’t give you an excuse to kiss Liam” I said, looking at her as I came to a red stop light. Nikki whimpered and I sighed. “Look, Nikki. You obviously like Harry, like REALLY like him.”

“I don’t like him that much..” Nikki mumbled and I rolled my eyes.

“Nikki! You were so upset that you went and kissed his best friend!”
“Maybe I was trying to make him jealous or something! I don’t know I wasn’t thinking!” Nikki yelled, throwing her arms in the air and hit her hurt right elbow on the window. “Ouch” she winced.

“Hey, be careful” I said, stepping on the gas now that the light was green.

“I know..” Nikki said under her breath. I sighed again and scratched my head. I know that she really doesn’t want to talk about this, but we’re gonna have to eventually.

“How do you feel now that you know Liam likes you?” I asked, looking at her from the corner of my eye. To my surprise, she didn’t even flinch.

“I don’t know..I don’t want to ruin the friendship we have and I can’t see Liam like that. A couple times I thought I felt my heart beat faster or get butterflies in my stomach, but they weren’t..real. When I’m around Harry I can’t take my eyes off of him and I get nervous. I feel like I can’t breathe...”

“Gosh, you’re like me when I was around Niall at first” I chuckled.

“Really? You looked really relaxed” Nikki asked, looking at me.

“Really. When we were at the fair I almost about died when Niall asked me to dance. I felt like I was going to make a fool of myself and I was nervous. I thought that he didn’t like me and that he was just being nice” I confessed to her.

“Well, you thought wrong. You guys are cute” Nikki said, patting my knee. “How are things with you and Niall?” she asked. I smirked and pulled into the parking lot to our condo. “I know what you’re doing” I said, unstrapping myself from the seat belt.

“What?” she asked.

“You’re now turning the conversation on me so we don’t have to talk about you” I said, looking at her. She opened her mouth, but then shut it with a frown. “Nikki, I know that this is very hard, and I know that you are hiding just how upset you are. You don’t have to hide it and we can talk about it” I said.

“I don’t want to talk about it” Nikki said with a complete straight face.

“You sure?” I asked.

“Positive” she said, never breaking eye contact.

“Okay..” I shrugged. I can’t really force her to talk about it and I guess she just needs some time to think about it herself. In my opinion, Harry and Nikki should get together. Sure, they wouldn’t be the most perfect couple, but it’s clear that they should be together. I’ll admit, I’m a little mad that Harry walked away from my sister who just poured her soul out, but still, I think that they will get over it and get together. We got out of my car and quickly ran up the steps to my door, slipping a few times, but not falling.

“Want some hot chocolate?” I offered once we were in warm pajamas and slippers.

“Yes please” she said from the living room. I out a gallon of milk and a pan. I poured some milk into the pan and set it over the stove to boil. I took out two hot chocolate packets and set them on the counter after I put the milk away. Hot chocolate hits the spot when its below almost 40 degrees outside.

“Hows your elbow?” I asked when my eyes landed on the pain pills the doctor prescribed for her.

“Good” she replied. I checked my phone that was plugged in the kitchen wall. Niall texted me asking if Nikki and I were okay. I returned his text, telling him that we were okay and then asking him how he was. I jumped and almost dropped my phone when the doorbell rang.

“Who the hell would be here” I looked down at my phone to check the time “at 1 in the morning?” I yelled in frustration.

“I’ll get it” Nikki said and I heard her slippers shuffling across the floor. I almost dropped my phone again when Nikki screamed and there was a loud thud.

“Nikki!?” I yelled and ran out into the hall. I gasped at the sight. Nikki was laying on the floor, a shivering Harry sprawled out on top of her.

“Ow ow!!” she yelped in pain, trying to get Harry off of her. I ran over and tried to pull Harry off of her.

“Ugh!” I grunted, lifting Harry up. His skin was pale and his nose was red. “He’s freezing!” I exclaimed. His skin was like ice. Harry’s eyes were shut and he faintly groaned. Nikki stood up and shook herself like she was shaking off the pain. She looked at Harry with deep worry and took him from me. “Go get some blankets” I instructed. I moved Harry so that his arms were around my neck and his chest was on my back. I let his feet drag behind me as I struggled to drag him into the living room. Nikki already had the blankets and hot chocolate ready. She helped me position him on the couch, but I did most of the positioning because I didn’t want Nikki to end up hurting herself.“We have to take his clothes off” I said, remembering that off of a survival show.

“All of it?!” Nikki shrieked in horror.

“Not his boxers! Everything but his boxers” I said and started unbuttoning his shirt. Nikki pulled off his shoes and socks.

“Nikki..?” Harry groaned and chattered his teeth. Nikki stiffened and leapt away from Harrys body.

“Nikki get back here and finish!” I demanded, pulling off his shirt. She gulped and slowly unzipped his pants, her eyes growing wider and wider. She bit her lip and she slowed down even more. “Move” I said, shoving her off to the side and quickly pulling off Harrys jeans. Nikki stood there, marveling over his wet, almost naked body. “Blankets?” I said, snapping my fingers in her face.

“Y-yeah” she blushed and grabbed the blankets. We tightly wrapped him with multiple blankets, but he wasn’t getting very warm.

“He needs body heat” I said and smirked over at Nikki. Her jaw dropped and she shook her head.

“Nu uh! Nope, not happening” she protested.

“Well I can’t do it, I’m not single” I stated, my smirk getting bigger.

“But I can’t do it! Not after what happened not too long ago..” she said, her voice trailing off at the end.

“Just do it!” I snapped and Nikki frowned.

“I’m not taking off my clothes” she said, unwrapping Harry from the blankets. This whole time he’s just been shivering, groaning and chattering his teeth. Nikki hesitantly wrapped her arms around him. Even though he’s bigger than her, Nikki was still able to engulf him in her skinny, long arms. I draped a blanket over them and Nikki blushed and scowled at me.

“Oh gosh the hot chocolate!” I said, smacking my cheek in a comical way. But I seriously forgot about it. I ran to the kitchen and turned off the stove. The milk was boiling and it now will take awhile for it to cool down so that it was wont burn your tongue. I opened the packets of hot chocolate and poured them into the milk. I stirred it around with a spoon and left it to cool down. I walked back into the living room and smiled. Harrys face was buried in Nikkis neck and Nikki was rocking Harry back and forth. Yep, they so need to get together.
