I didn't burst out crying. I didn't shake my head and tell him "it's too soon."

Because the truth was, I loved him too. Despite having known him for only a couple months, and only having kissed him twice, I'd fallen in love with everything about him. There were little things about him I adored. His voice. His personality. The jealous look on his face when he'd walked in on me and Danny sitting on the bed together. The way he said "baby." So I told him so.

I wanted to jump up and down squealing for joy, but I didn't. All I said was, "Tom, I love you too." He kissed me again.

We were interrupted by someone clearing his throat. We looked up to see Dougie standing a few feet away. He had an amused look on his face. "The rest of us were going to go ice skating, but I see you two are already playing tonsil hockey."

I blushed and Dougie laughed. "Actually, we were going to go get pizza, but I kind of just lost my appetite."

Tom rolled his eyes. Dougie started walking away, and I ran after him, jumping onto his back. It's a wonder he didn't drop me.

"Wow, Dougie, you must have girls jumping on your back all the time," I remarked as he gave me a piggyback ride out to the parking lot where the others were waiting.

"Yeah, every day," he joked.

When we got out to the parking lot, Harry grinned at us. "Tom, wipe that jealous look off your face," he said.

Danny looked at us, confused. "Wait, I thought Tom and Cassie were dating?"

I giggled and jumped off of Dougie. "Something like that, Danny," I winked.

The parking lot was in the back and hidden from the fans, so thankfully nobody recognized us.

Harry, Danny and Amanda went in one car, and Dougie, Tom and I went in another. Tom got in the driver's seat, and Dougie got in the back seat. "Aw, Dougie, you don't have to sit in the back," I said, reluctantly getting in the car. Dougie just grinned.

Tom just sat there for a minute. "Tom? You okay?" I asked. He looked at me.

"Do you want to drive?" I laughed.

He got out of the car and I slid over into the drivers seat. I could see his point. He was used to driving on the left side of the road, and on the right side of the car.

We picked up the pizza, and met the others back at the hotel, in Harry and Dougie's room. Alyssa brought soda over and joined the party.

I got everybody to sit in a circle so we could play a game. Amanda suggested Truth or Dare. Everybody either laughed or groaned.

"Come on! No way!"

"Aha, that sounds like fun."

"Amanda…"

I laughed. "Let's just do it once," I said. "Amanda, you go first." Big surprise, she picked Danny.

"Danny. Truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"You're so boring man!" Harry said. Danny just rolled his eyes.

"When was the last time you kissed a girl?" Amanda asked.

He opened his mouth to say something, and I guessed it was last time he went on a date with a girl. Then he shocked us all by leaning over and kissing Amanda. He grinned. "A few seconds ago."

My mouth dropped open. Amanda laughed. "Hey! That's cheating!" Danny shrugged. "Tom, truth or dare?"

"Truth," he replied, causing Harry to sigh.

"Who are you in love with at the moment?" I knew Danny knew the answer. He was just trying to get Tom to say it out loud.

Tom looked at me. "A girl I call baby," he said. I blushed. There was a chorus of "Ooooh"s around the room, and one "Aww" from Alyssa. I elbowed Tom.

He looked around the room. "Harry. Tru-"

"Dare." Tom laughed.

"Okay." He looked around the room. I knew what he was thinking. "I dare you to kiss Alyssa."

Alyssa and Harry both looked at him like he was crazy. "What?" They said in unison.

I tried not to laugh. It was obvious to everybody except those two that they were mad for each other.

Harry awkwardly leaned toward Alyssa and kissed her lightly on the lips. I couldn't keep from smiling. It was so cute.

The rest of the night was pure silliness. There were sixth grade dares, like drinking a mixture of foods that are gross on their own, or playing ding-dong ditch to the hotel room next door. We asked stupid questions that only gets asked in grade school. By three AM we were acting pretty crazy. Alyssa decided to stay the night, not wanting to go out this late. Or rather, early.

We crashed at three-thirty, with Alyssa and Amanda curled up on the couch in Dougie and Harry's room. Five minutes after Tom, Danny and I were in our own beds, we realized it was freezing.

Shivering, Tom got up and crawled into bed beside me. "It's…kind of…cold…" he stuttered. I giggled and slid over to make more room for him.

A couple minutes later Danny got out of bed. "Move over," he said. "Tom had a good idea." He slid under the covers, forcing me to move closer to Tom. Not that I minded.

"Well. Not many girls can say they got to be squished between two good-looking British musicians," I joked, making them both laugh.

Harry and Dougie appeared at the doorway. "I think the heat's off," Dougie said.

"No duh," Harry said. He and Dougie got under the covers and curled up at the end of what was supposed to be my bed. It's true that more people in one room warms the room up, but it was starting to get a little crowded.
