"Natalie!" Louis screams my name. "Wake up! We're going shopping and then to Disney!"

"Louis! Let the girl sleep!" Eleanor's voice floats in my room.

"Too late!" I fling the cover off my body. "I'm already awake." I sit up and glare at Louis.

"Get dressed!" Harry pokes his head in my room. "We're leaving in ten minutes!"

"I'll be ready in eight." I walk over to my bag.

"Not possible. You're related to Zayn." Louis shakes his head.

"Wanna bet?" I straighten up.

Louis nods his head at me. "You get dressed in eight minutes and I'll give you fifty bucks. If I win, I get to pick an outfit for you to wear at Disney today." Louis smirks.

"Deal." I agree.

"Oh no." Eleanor groans, walking out of the room.

Louis starts backing out of my room. "Five, four, three, two, one." He counts down and shuts my door.

I bend down and pull out a pair skinny jeans and a plain white v-neck shirt. I strip out of my pajamas and pull on these clothes. I slip into my red converse and finger comb my hair. No make up for me. I'm not a big fan of all of it. I make my way out of the hotel room and into the main part of the suite.

Louis and Eleanor are cuddling on the couch. Louis is staring at his IPhone intently. Niall is digging through the mini fridge in the room. Liam is texting on his mobile while leaning against the wall. Zayn is no where to be found. He is probably in the bathroom doing his hair. Harry is sprawled out on the other couch, watching tv.

Louis's head snaps up when he sees me all dressed. "How did you do that?" He gapes at me. "You got dressed in six minutes!"

"Fifty dollars please." I hold out my hand.

"But-" Louis glances from me to his mobile. "I wanted to pick out your outfit." He pouts.

"You can pick an outfit out for me-" I start.

"Yay!" Louis jumps up off the couch.

"But I get to pick one for you." I smirk.

Louis frowns for a second, but a smile replaces it. "Deal! Let's go shopping!"

"Wait!" Eleanor yells, standing up from the couch. "There should be some rules first."

"No!" Louis sticks out his bottom lip at her.

"Louis can only wear guy's clothes and Natalie can only wear girl's clothes. It has to be appropriate. I'll make sure Louis doesn't get too out of hand. Niall and Liam, you are in charge of Natalie." Eleanor tells us.

"Why isn't Zayn in charge of her?" Liam stops texting.

Eleanor looks over at him. "Zayn would be picking the outfit more than Natalie." She explains.

That's probably true. Zayn would pick out an outfit for Louis instead of allowing me to pick one.

"Why do I have Niall and Liam?" I cross my arms.

"I don't know how devious you can be."

"Good reason." I agree with her.

"Liam, did you find the red tights?" I walk over to Liam, who is in the accessories.

Liam is digging through a pile of tights that are in a large basket. "Do these work?" He holds up a plastic package with red tights.

"They're footless." I frown, grabbing the tights from him. "Oh well."

"I've been looking for ten minutes. These will work." Liam states. "Where did Niall go?"

I shrug. "I sent him to go find a pair of blue shorts."

"I bet he went to the food court." Liam mumbles.

"Let's go pay for these and go look for him." I carry the tights in my hand as we walk to cash registers.

"Louis is going to love his outfit." Liam peeks in the other bags we have with us.

"I hope so. I hope he didn't pick anything bad for me." I place the tights on the counter by the cashier.

"If Eleanor is with him then you should be okay." Liam pulls out his phone.

"Who have you been texting all morning?" I swipe Zayn's credit card and punch in his four digit number.

"Danielle." Liam grins.

"Your girlfriend, right?" I grab the bag from the cashier and follow Liam out of the store.

Liam nods his head. "Yeah. She will be joining us at Disney later today."

"Can't wait to meet her." I say as we reach the food court.

I see a blonde head of hair carrying three bags of food from McDonald's and a drink carrier. Niall sets them down on a table and pulls out his phone. He must be texting Liam. Liam's phone goes off just as Niall sets his back down.

"I like having you here." Liam hugs me with one arm.

"Why?" I hug him back, realizing I didn't flinch away.

"Niall would never do this. Normally, he would only buy food for himself." Liam explains, leading us over to Niall.

"So?" I question, not completely understanding what he means.

"If you weren't here, Niall would only have bought food for himself. He bought all of that because you're here. He doesn't share his food with anyone." Liam tells me with a small smile on his face.

"Except for me." I realize.

Liam nods. "Exactly."

"Why?" I look up at Liam.

"Niall likes you." Liam says like it is the most obvious thing in the world.

What? Niall doesn't like me. Why would he? It doesn't make any sense. He is Niall Horan! He could have any girl he wanted. There is no way he would want me. I'm just screwed up with the whole Glen thing. I'm not worth his time.

"There you are!" Niall's voice interrupts my thoughts. "I found the shorts."

I sit down in the chair across from him. Niall's smile drops when I don't reply. I just don't get it. Why would Liam say that? I turn my head away from Niall to stare at tables around us. Niall should like one of these girls in the mall. Not me. I'm nothing special.

"Natalie, are you okay?" Niall asks, bringing my attention back to him.

"Fine." I look down at my hands.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Liam nudges me in the side.

"I need a girl to talk to." I stand up and head away from the food court.

Feet pound against the linoleum floor behind me. "Natalie, what's wrong?" Niall runs in front of me, making me come to a halt.

"Do you like me?" I blurt.

Niall's eyes widen. Oh no. Did I really just say that out loud?

"Oh my goodness! Don't answer that!" I say quickly. "I can't believe I just..I'm such an idiot..I really need to talk to Eleanor." I mumble to myself while walking away hastily.

Why did I ask him that? Could I get anymore nervous or awkward? I hope Eleanor won't mind me talking to her about this. I really need a girl to talk to. I can't talk to Zayn about this. That would be extremely awkward.

I hear a loud shout come from the store Rue Twenty One. That must be Louis. I stroll through the store following Louis's loud voice. I find Louis, Eleanor, and Harry standing around a rack of girl's short shorts. Louis is holding a pair of neon green shorts in his hand. He turns around to see me heading for them.

"Cheater!" Louis shouts, pointing at me.

I wave my hand at him. "Eleanor can I talk to you?" I ask her. "Alone?"

"Of course!" Eleanor pecks Louis on the lips before following me out of the store. "What's wrong?"

"Does Niall like me?" I spin around to face her when we walk outside of the mall. "Because Liam said he does, but why would Niall like me? I'm just a boring girl who has had a troubled past. I'm messed up. Niall could have any girl in the world. Why me? Then a few minutes ago, I asked him if he liked me. It was so embarrassing! Then I ran away from him and came to look for you! I know we don't really know each other yet, but I really need a friend to talk to!" I come to a stop.

Eleanor pulls me in a hug as I take a deep breath. "Calm down." She rubs my back in a soothing manner.

"Why is this bothering me so much?" I ask, calming down.

Eleanor pushes me back and keeps her hands on my shoulders. "Because you like Niall back."
