Take Me Home.
Reality ruined my life.






GUYS! I’ve been on a vacation and I just thought of something!!! I’ll be working on a fanfic-slash-one shots (it’s a bit complicated) and I’ll be posting the first chapter tomorrow. If you’re interested to be one of the girls,  just send me your name and your favorite in the band. You can also tweet me on @yotheremalik. I swear it’s a good one. (Hahaha! Nothing beats than praising your own work!) Only 5 girls will be accepted, though, so hurry up. Only for Directioners. I’ll see to it that I’ll update everyday. :) x


Should Have Kissed You - Chapter 34 

Casey’s P.O.V.

“I seriously don’t know what’s with him, Case. He’s been like that since you left.” Niall said, putting the can of beer down. We’ve been talking for how many hours already, decoding Liam’s weird moves. He’s been acting pretty queer lately, starting with that “I’ve got a date with mom” thingy. It turns out he just went straight to their flat and slept.

“Should I be bothered?” I asked nervously. “I mean, you said he’s been like that since he——“

“Hey, calm down.” He laughed, shaking his head. “You’ve got nothing to worry about. Just give him time and space. I know, Liam. Let the guy have his space.”

“For what?”

“I really don’t know. I’m just running out of things to say.” He stood up, fixed his clothes, and looked at me. “I’ve got to go, Case. Going to the studio. New album on the way!!”

I giggled, stood up and hugged him. He tightened the hug; rubbing my back in circles. “Everything is going to be okay. In the mean time, focus on your studies.”He stepped back and smiled.

“I will. Thank you big time.” I smiled back. Niall and I are really close. He’s this person that I can tell my secrets to. I mean, there are things that I haven’t told Ella that I shared to Niall. He has this charm that just wants you to tell everything to him; from your period to your fears and everything. “Good luck.”

“Will do.” He kissed my cheek and stormed out of the room. I sighed and looked at the mess we’ve created. I started picking up the cans and one by one, I threw it at the bin. My head started to throb when someone opened the door. Ella, with a book covering her face, closed the door and sat on the sofa.

“Where have you been?” I asked, wiping the table in front of her. She placed the book beside her and exhaled heavily. “What’s the problem?”

“Pretty tired. Some girls wanted a picture with me so I stopped then they called their friends and I really don’t know what was happening. Then one of them said, “you’re Zayn’s girlfriend, right?” and I was like “wha—-wha—-what?” and they were like, “It’s okay. We don’t hate you. As long as Zayn’s happy, we’re happy.”. I didn’t know what to do. I was really shocked after that so I decided to buy a book to help me relax.”

I laughed out loud, sitting down beside her. She raised her eyebrows, confused with what I just did. I sighed and touched her shoulder. “You need to get used to it, you know. It’s been weeks since you guys told the world you’re dating!”.

“I know, I know. It was just… weird. I was expecting for these girls to stab me, gouge my eyes o—-“

“You really must stop watching horror movies.”

“You think so?”

“I know so.”

She took a deep breath and took off her coat. “I really need to get advices from you.”

“Me? What do you mean?”

“It’s like you’re used to all these directioners.”

“Yeah, I’m used to interacting with them that I ran away from them.” I answered, making her laugh. “Besides, they don’t bug me that much. I am nobody.”

“Nobody? Really? Like you have your own fanbase. They even call themselves Caselettes.”

My eyes almost popped out. What the?! Caselettes?! Isn’t that some kind of a hipster girl group or what? I haven’t been checking my Twitter since December. Ella reached out for her laptop and opened her account. “Look.”

Holy…. It’s real. There are so many accounts with Caselettes as their name and some of them even have my pictures as their avatar or whatever you call that. I looked at Ella with my eyes wide open and she just laughed. “Don’t fret. Mine is worse. They call me Ellatites.”

Now, it was my turn to laugh. She shook her head and shut her laptop off. Our lives are getting ridiculous.

 

 

“Hey, I missed you!”

I turned around and saw Kim running towards me. She pulled me for a hug. “I missed you! Wow, you definitely lose weight!”

“That’s what Harry also said. Anyway, how are you?”

“I’m okay. Really okay.” I replied, smiling weakly at her. She smiled back and squeezed my hand. We started to walk. Classes were finally done. Ella didn’t go to school because she was sick and Zayn was babysitting her. Kim and I parted ways when we reached the gate of our university. Luckily for me, I don’t get mobbed by paparazzi and fangirls here. I was holding my cup of coffee when suddenly, someone bumped in to me. The hot liquid splashed to him. His shirt was soaked with the coffee. I started wiping the coffee on his shirt.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to!” I apologized, still wiping the liquid with my hands. The person suddenly touched my hands and said, “It’s okay, Case.”.

I looked up and saw Liam looking at me. He let go of my hands and smiled sheepishly. I gulped and I can feel myself sweating profusely. What is he doing here? Why is he here?

“What are you doing here?” I asked, picking up the plastic cup and threw it at the trashcan. He laughed and shook his head.

“Can’t I surprise my friend by visiting in her university?”

Friend… Oh wait, he’s talking about me. “No, it’s not that. You could’ve just texted me or something!”

“Then that wouldn’t be a surprise, right?” He chuckled, putting his arm around my shoulder; pulling me closer to his chest. I missed this. I missed us. “I just want to be with you today.”

Damn it, Liam. You’re leading me on again! I looked at him. I was about to reject his invitation when he suddenly pinched my nose and shook my head. “Before you say no, I just want to say I already rented 2 bicycles in the park. If you don’t come with me, I’ll have to ride those 2 bicycles simultaneously and that would totally kill me. Plus, you’ll be wasting my money. And lastly, if you even say no, I’ll still drag you.”

I was trying not to laugh but I gave in anyway. I heard him chuckle and he held my hand. We started to walk towards his car which was parked 2 blocks away and yes, we were holding each other’s hand. I was blushing so much that I could feel myself face heating up. Liam was looking at me from time to time; checking if I was alright because I was just silent. Upon reaching the park, a guy gave us the bicycles. We started hitting the pedals. He got ahead of me, laughing like a child. Enjoy this moment, Case. Just don’t give meaning to it. I pedaled faster, getting ahead of him. I heard him shout and that made me laugh more. Suddenly, he was at my left side. He held my left hand and both of us slowed down. He looked at me and smiled. “I missed you. Do you know that?”

“No.” I replied, biting my lower lip. Could he please just stop? He’s giving me false hopes and I really don’t like it. First, he left when I arrived in London. Then, he’s going to tell me he wants to spend the day with me. And now, he’s saying he missed me? I really don’t get him! At all!

“Well, I did. And I’m glad you’re back.” He answered back, pinching my cheek.

 

The day went by so fast. I was so glad that things were already back to normal. We were singing Miley’s song Party in the USA in his car. We were on our way home after eating our dinner in a pizza parlor. He stopped in front our apartment. We went out of the car, laughing. I sighed and touched his arm. Did he just stiffen? “Thanks, Liam. I had fun. I had a blast. It was the best day of my life.”

“Well, I’m glad that the best day of your life was spent with me.” He smiled and moved closer to me. He was about to kiss my cheek when he laughed. “Looks like people are very eager to know what’s happening.”

I looked back and saw Zayn and Ella waving at us, their faces were literally plastered on the window. Liam and I laughed and shook our heads. I looked at Liam and sighed. “Anyway, I need to go now.” He said, holding my shoulders. “Be a good girl. Have a peaceful slumber.”

“I will. Be a good boy also. Have a great night.”

“It’s already great.”He said, patting my shoulder. I kissed him on the cheek and he grinned. “Bye.”

“Bye, Liam.” I said as I waved at him. He waved back and went inside of his car. In a matter of seconds, he was already gone. When I reached the room, Zayn and Ella were smiling like idiots at me.

“You guys are really made for each other.” I said to them. The three of us sat down. They were teasing me; saying that Liam and I could make a great couple. “We’re just friends, you know that.”

“We know but you 2 don’t.” Zayn replied, chuckling.

“What do you mean by that?” I asked, taking off my shoes.

“Nothing.” Ella said. The two of them laughed again. These two are really losing their sanity. I decided to take a bath. When I went out of the bathroom, they were laughing again. Shaking my head, I went to my room and decided to check my Twitter account. When I clicked my mentions, I saw tweets from Directioners and they even tagged Liam. What’s happening?

@yotheremalik @CaseOfficial @real_liam_payne you guys are just the sweetest!!!! :”>

Sweetest? What? I clicked the tweet and I almost passed out when I saw what the ruckus was about.

@real_liam_payne Just had the best day of my life!! Thank you, @caseofficial! The best, just the best!! :D

                       ———————————————————————————————————————————————————-

I actually thought of splitting this chapter into 2 but I thought, “No. You deserved better. I made you wait for 5 months so here it is!!”. Hope you like it. Thanks to those who waited. I’m deeply sorry!! I love you all. You can talk to me at @yotheremalik. Yep, I follow back there. Have fun reading this long chapter!!


Should I continue on Should Have Kissed You or start a Zayn fanfic? :)

Let me know, you guys. Tweet me on @yotheremalik. :)

Gotta go!!


I’M BACK!!! 

Guys, I’m back!!! It’s been a long time. It’s our summer vacation so I’ll be more active. I swear!! So, who wants One shots? Just send me a message. Things about yourself, your name, and the name of the lad you want to have an imagine with. I’ll get back to it later and to those who are waiting for the update of I Should Have Kissed You, I’m sorry for the super late update!! I’ll post it tomorrow!! Hope you understand!! I love you all!!! :) 


I don’t really get it why people are making a big fuss out of the recent events that happened to Louis. He’s just a person too, for crying out loud! He has the right to get mad or be annoyed with things and we should just respect him because of that. Some of us are overreacting and I really don’t like it. At least, Louis is being real. He’s being himself. He is not arrogant or whatever you call him. You’re just disappointed because you’ve always thought that the boys are perfect. They are not, okay? They’re just normal people. They also drink, eat, smile, fart and cry. If you’re going to stop supporting him because of his “too much sassiness”, no one is stopping you like seriously. His career won’t go down because of you.




Regarding the incident in that restaurant, do you think he’ll just tweet something like that if he wasn’t really annoyed? I’m not saying I know what really happened. Louis is old enough to differentiate what’s wrong or what’s right. Let’s just be a peaceful fandom again. You don’t agree with me? Okay. I didn’t make this please to please you anyway. I just want to point out some things that others apparently failed to notice. Have a good day. :)


Should Have Kissed You- Chapter 33.2 

Chapter 33.2

“Merry Christmas, Case!” Ella’s face popped on my screen. I smiled back at her, pressing my hands to each other. Zayn was beside her, waving at me.

“Merry Christmas to the both of you, too!”

“You didn’t warn me that your friend is a loud sleeper.” Zayn smirked, putting his arm around Ella’s shoulder. She punched him gently on the chest. He let out a small “ouch” while massaging the spot where her hand landed. “I’m just jesting, babe. That was so painful.”

“You deserve it.” She rolled her eyes and looked at me again. “So, how is it there?”

“It’s good. Relatives spent Christmas with us, of course. Friends were looking for you. They’re freaking out because you’re dating Zayn and stuff.” I sighed, tying my hair to a ponytail. “Felix was here.”

“You mean Felix Felix?” She asked, her eyes widening. Zayn looked at her and back to me again. I bit my lip, nodding. “Oh goodness, Case! What happened?”

“You know..” I whispered, shrugging.

“Wait, wait. Who’s Felix Felix? Is that like Phillip Phillips or something?” Zayn interrupted, scratching his neck. Ella looked at him, patting his back while shaking his head. “Who is it, then?”

“Should we tell him, Case?” She asked as she winked at me cheekily. I snorted, placing my hand on my mouth.

“Well, I don’t know”, I replied lowly, rubbing chin, pretending to be in deep thoughts, “you haven’t told me about the secret yet so..”

“I’ll tell you when you get back here! I promise! Now tell me!” He said excitedly. Ella smirked and I giggled, looking at Zayn’s expression.

“He hates secrets.” Ella explained, wiggling her eyebrows. “Okay. So, you see Zayn..”

“See what?”

“He’s my former suitor.” I answered, nodding my head. Well actually, he isn’t. He’s still my suitor.  Apparently, my parents told him that I was coming back and he decided to pay me a visit. As if it was actually compulsory but being the good girl I am, I entertained and talk to him. I don’t have any plan to tell them to the boys though because there’s no chance for us to work out.

“Former? Really?” Ella asked sassily. Zayn was just listening to us but he was probably in a trance or something because his eyes were blank.

“Okay. Maybe, he’s a current suitor. I don’t have any plan to accept his love, though. I rejected him two nights ago but he won’t stop bugging me!”

“What’s the problem? He’s gorgeous as hell, rich, popular in our school, student body’s president, talented, responsible, sweet and smart.” Ella pointed out, making me smile.

“That’s the point.”

“What point?”

“He’s too busy with thins and I just don’t see us being together. There’s no..”

“Spark?” Zayn smirked, cutting me off. I nodded gently as he shifted position, putting his leg on the top of his other leg. “That’s cool. Maybe, he’s really not the one.”

“Maybe.”

“Hey, Ella. It’s 1pm. Mom  said that we have to go to—”

“Oh shit. Yeah, I forgot. Case, Zayn and I have to go.” Ella said, reaching for her bag. “See you in 2 weeks!”

“Yeah, see you too! Bye. Take care. I love you both.”

They both nodded and smiled as I closed my laptop. Going back to bed, I decided to rest first before doing anything else. I never thought that I still have feelings for him.


[x] is your cue to play the song. Love lots! X]

“Hey, (YN)! Wake up.” Two hands shook my body as I rolled over to the other side of my bed. I heard someone grunt but instead of facing that person, I covered my face with a pillow. “You, babe. That’s not the greatest way to welcome your boyfriend, I think.”

Hearing clearly the thick accent that came out from the person’s mouth, I put the pillow to the side and looked up to my guy who was smiling sweetly at me.

“Zayn!” I stood up and wrapped my arms around his neck. “You’re back!”

“Someone’s too happy to see me.” He chuckled, wrapping his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to him. “I missed you too, love. Are you surprised?”

“Very! Why didn’t you tell me you’re going coming back?”

“That wouldn’t be a surprise anymore, I suppose.” He chuckled, stroking my hair.

I stepped backward, beaming at him. “But it’s Louis’ birthday! What did he say?”

“He understands me. He’s going to celebrate it with Eleanor and his family, anyway.” 

“That’s cool.”

“You know what’s cooler?”

“What?”

“I’m going to spend the whole day with you.” He kissed my lips lightly, making my head dizzy.

“Are you sure?”

“Yep but I have to go back to Bradford tomorrow. Mom told me that I have to celebrate Christmas with them. They also said they miss you.”

“I miss them, too.” I touched his hand, gripping it.

“I know.” He sat down on my bed and ran his hand to his hair. “You should take a bath you know. You smile right now.”

I raised my eyebrows, staring at him darkly. “Wow. You’re so mean.”

He smirked, pushing me to the bed. He held my arms, his face hovering mine.

“Za… Zay-“

“Why are you stuttering, love?”

He moved his face closer to mine, his eyes were full of mischievousness and lust. He traced my face with his finger, sending some electric shocks to my body.

“Zayn..” I whispered, closing my eyes.

“Shh, love. Don’t talk.” His warm breath hit my neck and I gasped. He stroked my cheeks with the back of his hands.

“Ra… rape.”

I opened my eyes as I heard him laugh out loud. He grabbed a pillow and hit me several times. I smacked his head with the back of my hand.

“Geeez, Zayn! You are so evil!”

“I.. I.. know.” He managed to say in between laughs. “But you really have to take a bath now. I’ll wait for you downstairs. See you.”

“See you, asshole.” I replied as he left the room, still chuckling.

After taking a shower, I put on some decent clothes. Applying some lip gloss, I checked my face on the mirror. Zayn doesn’t like it when girls wear heavy makeup and he said that’s one of the reasons why he loves me. I went downstairs and saw him talking to my cousin.

I cleared my throat to get their attention. I walked towards them as Zayn stood up, his hands on his pockets.

“Zayn, you know the rules.” My cousin smiled as she stood up.

“Yes, I know.” He winked, chuckling. I shook my head and left them two. I heard the door close again and Zayn appeared on my side. He linked his arms to mine, grinning.

10:00am-12nn

“That was cool!” I said as we went out of the movie theater. He nodded, pushing me gently. There were girls looking at us and I’m pretty sure that they were debating whether it’s Zayn Malik or not. I think Zayn sensed the same thing because he smiled at them seducingly, melting them right there and then.

1:00-2:30pm

“It looks good on you.” Zayn complimented as I twirled around lazily. The saleslady gave me another dress to try on as I made my way back to the dressing room.

3:15-4:45pm

“Catch me if you can!” I shouted, pedaling the bike with all my strength. I can hear him roaring with laughter and that put a huge smile on my face.

6:00-7:00pm


“Let me..” He said, wiping the dirt on my face with his thumb. I blushed as he continued to eat again. He looked up at me, smirking. “Why are smiling like an idiot?”

“What?”

“You’re smiling like a psychopath.”

“I am not.”

“Sure, whatever.” He rolled his eyes, smiling a little bit. I got my phone out and texted Louis.

Happy 20th Birthday, Tommo Bear! Long live, sassy! Love you. xoxo

After how many minutes, my phone beeped.

Thank yo, dear! How’s your day with Bradford Bad Boi? Miss you! Love you, too! X

Before I can reply, Zayn stood up and held his hand out to me.

“Shall we go now?” He asked charmingly. Acting like I was under a spell, I put my phone back to my pocket and touched his hand.

7:30-9:00pm

“Open it now, c’mon!” Zayn said excitedly. I touched the box and started to unwrap it. He was smiling from ear to ear. I opened the box and looked at him. I touched the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. “You can call him Liam. I’ll call my baby Danielle.”

“Baby?”

“Yup!” He nodded, showing me his teddy bear. My face lit up as he hugged it tightly. “If I miss you whenever I’m away which is like always, I’ll hug her. I will kiss her whenever I’m tired because you’re kiss is all that I need. I’ll talk to her whenever I miss your voice. I will—-“

“Hold up. Why are you doing this?” My voice trailed off as he stroked my cheek softly.

“Is it obvious? I love you this much.”

“Thanks, babe.”

“Hey, don’t cry.” He wiped the tear that betrayed me. He kissed my cheek, intertwining his fingers with mine. “Here.. Use this.”

“What is this?”

“Evidently, it’s a camera. I know you love taking pictures. You deserve this.” He grinned, handing me the camera. I touched it and looked at him.

“What have I done to be this lucky?” I questioned, putting the camera on the ground.

“I should be the one who is asking you that.” He chuckled, getting the camera once again. “Now, let’s be happy and… SMILE!!”

Both of us gave the camera our most genuine smiles. The picture, for sure, will be one of our countless remembrances of this day.

10:30-11:59pm

“Welcome to the annual countdown!” I heard someone announced, followed by the cheering of the crowd. I looked at Zayn questioningly.

“Why are we here?” I asked him, biting my lip.

“Are you really that dumb?” He laughed lowly, squeezing my hand. “We’re going to have a countdown, of course!”

[x]

I realized that Justin Bieber’s version of All I Want For Christmas is You was playing. Zayn suddenly wrapped his arms around my waist and I wrapped my arms around his neck in return.

Make my wish come true.. Baby, all I want for Christmas is you..

11:59pm-12am (Christmas Day)

60….






“I love you.” He lifted my chin, his eyes fixed on mine.

“I love you, too.” I answered, resting my head on his chest. Couples around us were already moving and we followed them, swaying side to side.

30….














20…







10…






5….



4…



3..



2.





“Merry Christmas.” We both said at the same time. There were fireworks on the sky and people were jumping and shouting but our eyes were only for each other. Mistletoe played and Zayn looked up, smiling. He pointed the mistletoe above us. He tapped my shoulder as I was admiring it. Looking back at him, he cupped my face and kissed me fully on the lips. We both moved our heads to the song. We stopped as we ran out of air.

“Justin is right.” He bit his lower lip.

“Right about what?”

“Your lips on my lips.. It’s a merry merry Christmas.”


Should Have Kissed You- Chapter 33.1 

Chapter 33.1

Liam’s P.O.V.

“Still not done with it?” Niall peeked over at my shoulder, trying to get a clear view of what I’m doing. I immediately covered the paper with my hand, giving him a dark look. He raised his arms innocently.

“This is not your business anymore.”

“But I was the one who gave you the idea.”

“I know.. I know..” I said, putting my hand on his head. “Now, get off. I’m trying to concentrate here.”

“Can I just have a peek?” He pouted, sitting beside me. I instantly get a hold of the paper and put it out of his reach. He stretched his arms as he was reaching for the paper, grunting and making some weird sounds at the same time.

“Nialler.. No, just no.”

He stopped reaching for the sheet and folded his arms across his chest, thinking deeply. I raised my eyebrows as I rested my arm on the couch. I turned to him when I heard him sigh. He was about to stand up when he started tickling my sides – my weak spots.

“Stop that! St..st..stop!” I said in between laughs, trying to slap his hands away. His other hand continued to itch my side while his one hand was reaching for the paper again. I pushed him playfully away from me. “Stop, okay? I’ll tell you some lines but don’t laugh.”

“Of course, I won’t.” He said, sitting beside me again. His eyes were full of excitement and I rolled my eyes in defeat, sighing softly. I placed the paper infront of me and touched the pen I used a while ago. Tapping it on the paper slowly, I started to sing the lines I just came up with.


I keep playing inside my head
All that you said to me
I lie awake just to convince myself
This wasn’t just a dream


I looked up at him and I realized that he was actually listening to me, grasping every word that I muttered. He clapped slowly, nodding. He stood up and got his guitar out of its case. He started strumming and humming at the same time. After how many minutes, he finally looked at me and smiling.

“Now, let’s put some tune to the song.”

“I’m not even done yet.”

“That doesn’t matter.” He said, dismissing me quickly. I breathed heavily, running my hand through my hair. He shifted to a more comfortable position, the side of the guitar was on his lap and his fingers were placed alternately on the strings. My eyes were actually following his fingers which were moving rapidly. I touched his hands, shutting my eyes.

“How.. can.. I.. sing,” I faked a smile, “if you’re just playing with your fingers?”

“Oh. I’m sorry. I was just.. oh well, okay. Let’s get it on.” He said distractedly as he placed his fingers on some random places.

“How do you even know the tune anyway? I mean, I’m just getting started with this.”

“You sang the song a while ago and luckily for you, I listened to the rhythm.”

Sighing, I started to sing the song again as he played the guitar. To be honest, it was actually great. Niall was smiling as he was playing the instrument swiftly. I ended the first verse with a huge grin on my face while tapping his back.

“You’re the best.”

“I know.” He chuckled, putting the guitar down on the floor. “So, any idea for the next verse?”

I pursed my lips, wiggling my eyebrows. I actually don’t have thoughts on the next verse yet. My mind stopped working yesterday when Casey left London. I’ve been racking my brain since last night but no luck. Niall grabbed the paper from me and held the pen.

“Just describe what you feel about her.” He said, looking at me intently while waiting for my reply.

My feelings about her? I don’t know. It’s kind of mixed and people won’t understand. I love her and everything but something’s stopping me. No, it’s not the past and Danielle. I already moved on. I regret fighting with Zayn because he was actually right. I don’t know how to stand firm. I’m a weakling. And most importantly, I regret shouting a line to him. I don’t even want to mention what line it is because when I always remember that, I just want to kill myself right there and then.

I shrugged, shaking my head. “I don’t know.”

“Do you think I can add things on this song? I can’t, Li. I don’t know what you’re feeling right now.”

I ran my hand to my hair, scratching my neck with the other one. I am not good when it comes to composing songs and Niall is the one who is good with this. I’m a newbie in this field and.. I really don’t know what to do.

“Just tell me what you’re feeling right now.” He spoke up, smiling encouragingly at me.

“I feel down right now. I think I wasted my chance. The moment I left her alone.. I can’t forget about it. Her reaction when I stopped.. I was just,” I sighed, my hands pressed together, “dumb”.

A small smile appeared on his face as he scribbled something down. After how many minutes, he read it out loud.

“Cause you were right here and I should have taken the chance but..” He looked up at me, pouting.

“But what?” I asked, staring at him.

“I actually don’t know. I don’t know what you’re feeling right so you need to add lines to this verse.” He replied, handing me the pen and paper. I was hesitating at first but instantly grabbed them from him even though I still don’t have anything to add.

“Now, what?” I asked sheepishly.

“Just write down what stopped you from kissing her.”

“I don’t even know why.”

“Oh, really? You don’t?” He asked, raising his eyebrows.

“Well, I was… scared?”

“I got so scared and I lost the moment again.” Niall bopped his head while beaming. “That’s really good. You should write it down.”

Rolling my eyes, I wrote down what he said and sang the second verse again. Not bad, I thought to myself. Niall reached for his guitar and started strumming again. The day passed by with me, squeezing the juices of my brain and Niall helping me with the composition.
