Chapter 68

Kaylee's P.O.V.

Everyone was having fun drinking and what did I have, a bottle of water. But in all honesty I didn't mind one bit, I wasn't big on drinking, didn't care for it I guess because of my dad.

"You alirght babe?" Niall questioned, looking over at me. I nodded giving him a smile, I was so damn tired I could barely sit up. "We'll leave soon, I promise."

"So just another Happy Birthday to my best mate Louis!" Harry shouted chuckling and fumbling over Louis, both of them on the floor. 

"Alright, I think you're good for tonight." Riley sighed laughing as she helped Harry up. "Let's get you home." Harry, Louis and Zayn were completely bashed, Liam and Niall had only had a few drinks and were just above tipsy. 

"You want me to help you get him down the hall?" Liam offered as Riley struggled to keep Harry up.

"Nah, I think I got it, if he falls he falls." She shrugged saying goodbye to everyone. 

"Let's go buy a fucking dog." Harry looked down at her as they walked out the door, her eyes rolling around with an exasperated sigh.

"Bye Louis, hope you had a good birthday." I smiled pulling him into a big hug giving him a kiss on the cheek. Niall and I said bye to everyone else before making our way downstairs. 

"But Riley imagine having a little dog following you around!" We heard Harry shout as we walked by.

"Harry go to bed." Riley laughed a door shutting. I just shook my head laughing along with Niall.

"You know, I'm glad you didn't get shit wasted, would've never been able to get you all the way downstairs." I laughed leaning into his side. 

"Mhm." He mumbled smiling. "I needed to take care of you!"

It had been about a week since we moved in together and I'd never been happier, especially today, it was new years eve. Harry, Riley and Niall and I were flying out to New York to go to times square. I had always wanted to go and there was never a better time. 

"Babe, c'mon cars here." Niall ushered me out of the bathroom after I turned off the light. I grabbed my purse, Niall carrying our bags and we met Harry and Riley by the door before piling into the car.

"I'm so excited." I laughed looking over at Riley. Harry was sat in the front, us squeezed in the back of the cab.

"It's going to be so cold though." Riley shivered making her teeth chatter.

"Yeah, but trust me, I packed layers and layers." I giggled pulling out my phone. 3 am, didn''t even feel like it. "Are you going to visit home?"

"Probably just for an afternoon before we come back." She told me, her face lighting up. 

"We'll make time Riley." Harry smiled turning around to face us. 

When we got to the airport it really was not crowded at all, well it was 3am. We had no problems and were on the plane passed out in just a matter of 30 minutes.

"Ladies and gentleman, please put your chairs in the upright position, we're landing." The sweet soft voice of the flight attendant said through the speaker. I groggily stretched waking Niall up in the process.

"We're here." I turned around poking Riley in the stomach and the Harry, such heavy sleepers. When we were on the ground I grabbed my purse and we walked lazily off the plane, it was close to 7 in the evening here when we landed, it felt so odd. 

"Alright so let's get to the hotel, check in, get ready, and go." Harry said as we pushed ourselves through the crowd. The boys went to collect our bags while Riley and I got some snacks to bring in the cab with us. 

"I got you skittles." I handed Niall the pack as we sat in the car on the way to the hotel. "And I got myself, M&M's." I smiled opening the bag and putting some into my hand. 

"Well I got sour skittles, nothing beats that." Riley leaned over cocking her head with a smile.

"Wait, I got juicy starbursts, I win." Harry grinned eating 3 at once. "Oh, sour juicy." He puckered his lips squeezing his eyes shut while we all laughed at him.

When we got to the hotel it was crowded, but not so much with fans and paps, more just people worrying about being on time to their parties. 

"Uh room under Styles." Harry walked up to the desk getting our stuff. The lady handed him the keys before we made our way up the floors.

"Niall, I think I can roll a suitcase." I laughed as Niall struggled to carry all our stuff.

"It's fine, I'm a strong guy." He winked making me roll my eyes. Harry opened the door and we all piled in, Niall dropping the bags to the flooor. "Hm, not bad."

"Nice view." I stated walking over to the huge window that over looked Time Square. "We should get ready."

"Yeah, I need to shower, I smell like airport." Riley scrunched up her nose taking out her clothes. We all took turns taking little 10 minute showers before getting dressed. It was already about 35 degrees out so it was only going to get colder as the night went on.

"Hat, gloves, scarf, leg warmers, another scarf, sweater, and jacket." I mumbled as I laid out all my stuff. "I bet I'll still be cold."

"You know, we could just stay here and watch, I don't know if it's a good idea having you around all those people, I mean everyone's always pushing and shoving each other." Niall sat down on the bed looking over at me. 

"Niall." I sighed looking over at him, "It'll be fine, and if it gets too much we can always leave, right?" 

"Yeah I guess, but just remember, I don't mind staying back with you." He smiled before getting up to start getting dressed. I let out a deep breath begining to put my layers on.

"Aw, Riley, you look like a little bundle of fabric." I laughed as she walked into the room. "Can you move your arms?"

"Not really, but laugh all you want, I'll be warm! I've done this before, Im not playing!" She shouted stubbornly before wobbling around probably to go find Harry.

By the time we were all done it was about 8 o'clock. Now usually if you want to go, you have to go at like 4 o'clock in the morning and camp out all day but you know, the boys aren't exactly 'everyday people' so there's always a little perk to help us out.

"If I push you over will you just bounce back up?" Harry asked Riley with a little smirk on his face as we walked out of the lobby.

"Shut your mouth." She snapped at him and then covered it up with a little smile.

"It's so cold." I chattered rubbing my glove covered hands together. There was 15 minutes left till midnight and I couldn't wait. 

When we got there we went to this little area for, eh, special people, it was still crowded though. There were quite a few famous people here to be honest, we eve saw Ed for a bit. "Almost over babe." Niall whispered pulling me into his chest kissing the top of my head.

"And you laughed at me for my over excessive layers." Riley turned around smirking at us, that little-

"Oh, wow, Harry!" We saw Taylor walk up to Harry a big smile on her face. "And Riley wow!"

"Hey Taylor, how have you been?" Harry asked politely, like he usually was.

"Great, yeah, got that call from management a few weeks ago." Her smile faded a bit, a look of almost anger appearing. "But I'm here with some good friends of mine... didn't think you guys would be here." She laughed awkwardly.

"Well we are." Riley gave her a big grin. "Nice seeing you Taylor, happy new years." Riley waved, Taylor staying in place before turning around and walking off into the crowd.

"Riley." Harry chuckled all of us laughing as she just shrugged. We watched as people started coming closer, 3 minutes left till the new year.

"This year was crazy." I laughed leaning my head on Niall shoulder. 

"And it's only going to get crazier." Niall chuckled, Riley and Harry trying to hold hands with their gloves, it wasn't working out. 

Harry slipped off his one glove grabbing her hand smiling down at her. "Harry your hand is going to get cold." She looked up at him and just shook his head.

"Nah, you keep me warm."

"Aw." I whispered making Niall laugh.

It erupted, it was madness. It was all so much to take in but one thing I knew for sure was the minute Niall pulled me into a kiss it got some what quieter, my mind focusing on his soft warm lips. I knew right here that I really did love him, without a doubt and I would do anything for him. anything.

"I love you Kaylee, Happy New year." He smiled pulling me into his chest.

"I love you too." I sighed smiling just staying in his warm embrace. It felt so nice to be wrapped in his arms, wrapping around my body holding me against him.

If it wasn't so loud I could probably hear his heart beat but the shouts, and cheers, the confetti falling from the sky, I don't think I would rather be anywhere else to be honest.

"Let's get out of here!" Harry shouted over the now chaotic crowd. We all nodded agreeing as I linked my arm with Riley my other hand intertwined with Niall. 

It was almost a good hour later when we got back to the hotel, it was crazy out there.

The first thing I did was walk over to the blacony and look down at time square everyone still, even after an hour celebrating and hugging as if it just struck 12.

"I'm exhausted." Riley huffed plopping onto the bed. I turned around staring to peel off all my layers that now left me hot and sweaty. Harry, already down to a pair of sweats jumped right on top of Riley making her giggle. 

"When are we leaving?" I asked Niall, slipping into bed beside him.

"In 3 days." He told me giving me a kiss goodnight.

Riley's P.O.V.

"I can't believe you harry!" I shouted as Harry and I walked into our flat.

"What?" He looked over at me innocently placing his bag on the ground.

"You were so flirting with that interviewer." I threw my bags onto the couch turning to face him.

"No I wasn't." He chuckled walking into the kitchen. I huffed following behind him.

"Since when do we stop to talk to them, hm? Never! I bet you didn't even notice you winked at her." I crossed my arms as he pulled a glass out of the cabinet filling it with water. "You're a tool, I'm going to take a shower." I spat getting my bags putting them in the room and going into the bathroom. 

Once I got into the shower the warm water calmed me down a bit.

I guess I over reacted a bit... I just, I get so jealous but can you blame me? I mean he could get any girl he wants and instead he's with me a girl that grew up in the armpit of America.

By the time I got out I looked over at the clock and it had already been an hour since I got in. I wrapped a towel around me and walked across the hall to the bedroom putting on some comfortable clothes.

I guess I should apologize, being mad won't do anything for either of. I braided my hair as I walked down the hall to the kitchen. "Listen Har- woah." He was sat at the table with two bowls of pasta and some garlic bread.

"I figured I would make dinner for us, maybe you'd be less mad if you ate." He smiled slightly as I sat across from him. 

"Thanks, I just want to say sorry... I just get really jealous and you're not a tool." I smiled sheepishly.

"Yeah, sometimes I don't realize how flirty I'm being, I'm sorry, I should be more careful. Forgiven?"

"Forgiven." I smiled as he replicated mine. "Now let's eat this looks so good."

Usually we ate dinner in a comfortable silence but tonight it was anything but that. "We start recording in two weeks." 

"Oh really? So soon! I think I'm going to go visit the university to see what I can do on monday." I told Harry as he nodded agreeing that was a good idea. "What's your schedule like when you're recording?" I questioned looking up at him.

"Uhm, it's different everyday. Some days we go in at 6 in the morning others at 10. Some days we're not done till midnight others we're done by 4 in the afternoon." He chuckled finishing off his spaghetti. "It's good you'll be in uni, won't be alone all day."

"Yeah, I just hope it's not too much trouble to get in." I laughed finishing my plate as well. We both cleaned up, harry washing and myself drying. 

When we were done we walked into the living room sitting on the couch flipping through the channels.

After about an hour my eyes got heavy, my mind slowly wandering away from the television not feeling the need to pay attention.

"Riley, babe, let's go to bed." Harry whispered shaking me a bit. I sat up yawning as Harry turned off the lights and the television as I made my way down the hall to the bedroom. 

"Harry does this place have any heat?" I laughed lightly climbing under the covers.

"Yeah, I don't know why it's so cold. I'll open the vents tomorrow." He told me rolling over and giving me a kiss goodnight before shutting the lights off.
