That night Luke and I sat downstairs and watched films all night. Michael and Calum had heard about what had happened and felt the need to tell Liz before we even got home. Of course she had her questions but in the end she was happy for Luke and I and she ordered us both pizza.

"Baby," I heard Luke murmur from underneath my head. I don't think I'd ever get used to him calling me that. It made me shiver. 

"Yeah?" I asked sleepily, the truth was I was just about to drift off, we were watching Men In Black which I had seen numerous times so I wasn't that bothered about missing some parts.

"Are you going to sleep?" he asked me. I sighed.

"Yes Luke, but I'll be fine here I promise, just keep watching Will Smith," I joked, slowly shutting my eyes before I had even finished my sentence.

"As long as you're sure," he replied, softly kissing the top of my head that was on his chest, making my stomach erupt again.

"Oh Mikey-baby, do you want to go and sleep in bed instead honey? Instead of watching this amazing film boo?" Calum mocked from the side. I couldn't help but smile, my eyes still shut. I could almost see him gagging on the words as they came out of his mouth.

"Come on guys what happened to you two hating each other? That was more fun," Michael whined. I couldn't help but let out a small giggle and I felt Luke shift to look down at me, knowing I wasn't asleep just yet.

"Well I think it's more fun like this, now shut up they're about to blow some aliens up," Luke hushed them and they went back to silently watching the film as I drifted off.

I wasn't sure when or where I had fallen asleep but when I woke up I was lying sidewards on the sofa, half of my body almost falling off. The only thing that was keeping me on the soft leather was the thing that was pushing me off in the first place. A big body.

Slowly I tried to move our limbs so I could turn around without falling off or waking him up. I lifted his arm above me as I twisted and then gently put it back down over my waist.

Looking up at the sleeping boy I took in his appearance and hummed in content. Finally things were working out. School was shit but that was always going to be like that, there wasn't any changing school and the people. But I now had a gorgeous boyfriend that actually cared for me and three new friends. I still didn't talk to Michael much but it was more than I spoke to anyone else. Often I'd find myself texting Calum, even if we were in the same room or house and we'd just have a joke or two and Ashton and I were stronger than ever.

"Hollie?" I heard a groggy voice call from across the room. I looked up from Luke and saw a nearly naked Ashton standing on the other side of the room. His face looked amused but his eyes looked confused.

"Hey Ash, help me up?" I chuckled, indicating to Luke's body wrapped around mine.

"Sure thing, I didn't know you stayed here last night?" he questioned. I almost laughed, but then I remembered that none of the boys knew I had been staying over every night for the week.

"Uh I guess so, we were watching films and I guess I fell asleep," I shrugged trying not to hint that this wasn't the first time.

"You're cute," he laughed.

"You're cuter," I replied. "Now help me up you useless shit," I ordered.

"Well that cute moment lasted long." As he moved closer I saw that he was wearing baggy sweats and the top of his boxers were peaking out. The rest of him remained uncovered.
