I got in my car and sped out of the driveway. This was the only way I had any chance of getting there in time. That conversation with Kyle really held me up. Why did I have to threaten him just to get him to take SOME responsibility? Although I couldn't blame him. He was just fifteen. Too young when this whole ordeal started to help out. He watched Jeremy and I give up our entire lives to support everyone. He saw what happened to Jeremy, I don't blame the kid for being scared. Can I really blame him for not wanting to give up his childhood just yet? Finally I reached the hotel. 7:00 pm. Just on time. I parked my car and entered the lobby, where I immediately saw Niall.

"Hailey!" Niall greeted me with a warm embrace.

"Hi!" I squealed sweetly.

As he hugged me, he began playing with my long, brown, curly hair.

"I know I just met you today and this probably sounds stupid but I missed you Hail."

"I missed you too Ni." I replied giggling.

Just then he grabbed me by the waist and threw me over his shoulder and carried me into the elevator, where we got some strange looks from people, and into his room. I was giggling like a schoolgirl the entire time. I just couldn't help it, whenever I was with him I just felt happy. I couldn't explain it. It was a feeling that I hadn't felt in a long time and was not ready to give up for the world. Then he plopped me down on his bed.

"Sorry we couldn't meet somewhere public. Most people don't know that we are stuck in Delaware yet. I would kind of like to keep it that way. It's nice to be able to maintain a low profile every once in awhile."

"Nah, it's cool. I totally get it. Besides I don't think you have to worry too much. Literally no one is going to suspect that you are in Delaware, most people forget that it's even a state."

"Wow that's kind of sad, but good for me… and you…"

"Wait why is it good for me?"

"Well if I'm going to be stuck here for awhile I would like to make the most of it. This includes hanging out with the most beautiful girl in the world…in public…without all of the paparazzi bombarding us every second."

"And who might this beautiful girl be?" I teased.

"Oh let's see, she has long brown curly hair, beautiful eyes that are constantly changing colors, she is tall and skinny, has the most beautiful face I have ever seen and oh yea she is standing right in front of me…" He looked down at me longingly, like he wanted nothing else in the entire world more than his desire to kiss me. And then he did. I smiled as I felt his soft, perfect lips up against mine. Time seemed to stand still. All of my troubles just seemed to melt away. I kissed him back and I felt him smile. It was bliss. It was as if all either of us wanted to do for the rest of our lives was just stay here in this perfect moment. We stayed like that for about an hour and then both of our stomachs started to growl…really loudly. So he slowly broke the kiss and looked longingly into my eyes.

"That was amazing…" He whispered into me ear. Then pulled away and asked me if I wanted pizza.

"What's a good pizza place around here?"

"Okay so there is Grotto's which you will either love or hate. It's pretty much a 50/50 shot. High risk, but high reward. Then there is Seasons, which is my personal favorite but most people think that it is too greasy and commercial, oh or there's little Vinnie's, or dominos, or about 50 other places…We are pretty big on pizza here in Delaware…"

"Let's go with Season's since you seem to like it the best."

"Thanks! Everyone else in the house has different tastes when it come to pizza so I haven't had it in awhile."

Niall got out his laptop and ordered a large green peppers, and onions, my favorite.

We ate the pizza smiling and laughing at each other the entire time. We just made each other so happy, it was incredible. Then we cuddled on the couch. My head lay on his chest. His arms wrapped around me. Afraid to let go. Afraid he might lose me. We fell into a deep sleep. Then, my phone started ringing waking us both up. I reluctantly picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Hello Hailey? It's Kyle."
"Hey Ky what's up?"
"Ok first of all it is two in the morning…WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?! And second of all Colin woke up. He was having a nightmare and he is freaking out and I'm freaking out and he's screaming and I'm screaming and then everyone in the house woke up and started freaking out and I don't know what to do! PLEASE HELP!"

"Shit. Is it really two in the morning?"
"Is that all you really have to say?!"

"Ok, fine don't worry. I will be home in like fifteen minutes." I said reluctantly, and then I hung up the phone.

"Fuck"

"What's wrong princess?"

"Colin had a nightmare and now Kyle is freaking out because of that and the fact that it is two in the morning and I'm not home yet. Fuck. I just can't deal with this all by myself tonight. I'm so fucking exhausted. "

"Well you won't. Tonight, I will be your personal helper."

"I can't do that to you. This is your vacation."

"What if I want to help? What if all I want is to spend every possible second with you? What if it doesn't matter where we are or what I'm doing as long as I'm with you?"

"Well I can't say no to that. That is the sweetest thing that I anyone has ever said to me…"

"Well that was the plan, and it's true. I know I haven't even known you for 24 hours, but I know already. I love you Hail."

"I love you too Ni…" I replied kissing him passionately.

Then he broke this kiss.

"Kyle is probably wondering where you are…"

"We can let him sweat it out…"

"Ah but I have never met him and he seems to be important to you and I don't want to make a bad first impression…"

"Fine… we can go…" I said reluctantly. Then he grabbed my waist and picked me up again and carried me to his car.

"Are you ever going to let me walk?" I teased.

"Honestly…I'm not planning on it…" He whispered into my ear as he started up the car.
