The shower curtains shoot open, and I scream in surprise. But what I see is even more surprising, two people kissing.

It's Ara and Zayn.

The split second Louis and I see Ara and Zayn, we run out of the bathroom as fast as we can, and luckily, we make it without being seen.

"That was a close one" Louis says.

"What would Ara do if she saw us?"

"I really have no idea. Ara is so sensitive... She wouldn't react well."

"Why are you still, like, with her?"

"Because... I love her."

When Louis says he loves Ara, I don't know why, but it makes my heart sink. I know I don't love Louis, maybe a little crush, but I shouldn't feel... Hurt?

"Uh, are you gonna put on another top?" Louis asks. I look down, I'm in my bra. I left my top in the bathroom.

"Yeah..." I say, "I'll see you downstairs later"

"Alright," Louis kisses my cheek, "See you soon"

"You should be hanging out with your guy friends" Holly says, her ocean blue eyes twinkling.

"I should, but I'd rather be with you."

"The stars look so gorgeous" Holly says, her eyes gazing into the shining night sky.

Our hands are intertwined as Holly and I lie down on the soft grass out in the enchanted rose garden, looking up into the sparkling stars. The quiet, soft sound of light splashing water from the water fountain and the sound from the light breezes flying past surrounds us, but apart from that it's completely silent and peaceful. It's cold, but the white, freezing snow is almost gone, all that remains is the pretty, sprinkling snowflakes hitting my fair skin.

"Can you see, like, your zodiac sign?" Holly asks, pointing to the starry sky.

"No, they just look like stars"

"Those ones," Holly points to the stars, "look like they're waves at the beach"

I look around the alive night sky for pictures hidden in the stars.

"That one kinda looks like a cat. You see? The whiskers, and the pointy ears, eyes, and that is, like, the nose"

Holly's eyes stare into the sky, painting pictures with the stars and admiring the glimmer of the shiny full moon. She looks, as always, beautiful. There's no other way to describe her than beautiful. Everything about her is beautiful. Her bubbly personality, her gorgeous face, her flawless body, her laugh, just everything. She's beautiful. Beautiful.

As Holly's eyes are focused on the mesmerising sky, mine are focused on her mesmerising face. I stare at her as she smiles and her eyes crinkle and her nose scrunches up. She's so cute.

"Stop staring at me" Holly laughs, covering her face with her hands.

"I can't help it"

"Fine, I'll stare at you" Holly says, turning on her side to face me.

"You're pretty. With your curly hair, green eyes, smooth skin." Holly strokes my cheek with her cold hand.

"I really love you. It's weird. Loves weird. This love is weird." Holly says, turning on her back to face the sky.

"I weird-love you, too" I say, moving closer to rest my head on her shoulder.

"Really. I do love you. I love all of you. I... Weird-love all of you"

"I love you so much it hurts. I never knew I could feel this affectionate for a doll. I feel so stupid. But you do feel stupid when you're in love... But when you're in... Weird-love," I chuckle, "feeling stupid is another way of just falling even deeper."

The moment goes silent, Holly and I stare at each other with love. My green eyes lock with her electric blue ones. The moment is perfect and so peaceful... It's just full of wonderful love.

"Those stars together look like a bear," Niall says, "or a mouse... Dunno."

Holly and I turn around in surprise to see Niall behind us, sitting on a beach chair, drinking beer.

"What? How long have you been here for?" Holly asks.

"Since you two were counting the stars or something, then when you were doing that weird-love shit. That was really weird, my ear drums were, like, pooping listening to you two be lovey"

Holly and I just stare at Niall in annoyance.

"What? Sorry! Just wanted to do some star gazing with you guys. I was lonely" Niall says, taking a sip from his beer.

"It's getting pretty cold, we should head back inside"

Holly, Niall and I head back inside through the kitchen glass door.

In the kitchen is Louis, pouring himself a glass of water.

"Hey, where's Liam?" I ask.

"Oh, he left a while ago" Niall says.

"Why so early?"

"Janet felt sick" Holly says.

"Oh..."

"I'm gonna go upstairs, see what the girls are doing. See ya" Holly leaves.

I walk into the upstairs cinema room, where Ara, Macy, Juliet and Fran sit on the cream coloured leather bean bags, watching Divergent but they're locked in conversation instead of watching the movie.

"Hey guys" I say, seating next to Juliet on the beanbag.

"Hey" The girls greet me back.

I see a cocktail next to Juliet. I grab it and take a sip.

"Do you like it? I made it" Juliet says, proud.

My face scrunches up as soon as the sour taste hits my mouth, "It's sour. I hate sour things"

"Janet said it was yum"

"I just hate anything sour"

Juliet snatches the cocktail off me, jokingly, "More for me!"

I roll my eyes and giggle, "Whatever."

The door opens and Lola walks in, "Hey, you guys seen Louis?"

"I saw him in the kitchen. Did you change your top?" I ask.

"Yeah," Lola says, "the other one was uncomfortable"

"You're spending a lot of time with Louis tonight..." Ara says, concerned.

"And? What's it to you? We get along." Lola crosses her arms.

Ara shrugs, "Don't have to be rude."

"Been spending a lot of time with Zayn tonight, Ara..." Lola says.

Ara's jaw drops slightly, "Just go away, Lola"

"Whatever. Bye girls" Lola leaves.

"Why'd she bring Zayn up?" Fran asks Ara.

"Uh... Dunno. Probably just being rude."

For the rest of the night I just settle in with Ara, Macy, Juliet and Fran. We watch movies and talk about random stuff. I come to learn Fran isn't that bad, just annoying.

Christmas this year was definitely different than Christmas in other years... But it wasn't bad. As awful, strange, weird, fun, or whatever this may sound... It was actually great. I had heaps of fun.

| 11:30AM |

I wake up in Harry's bed, I actually woke up at seven, but I have a massive hangover so I decided to sleep a little more, which was a great decision. I feel much better now.

I look to my side, where usually I see Harry sleeping quietly, but he's not there. He must be downstairs having breakfast with the girls.

I drag myself out of bed and put on my fluffy slippers. I walk into the bathroom and wash my face.

I walk downstairs in my pyjamas to the kitchen, and as soon as I enter, I see just the girls sat in the smaller living room, dead silent. Something's wrong. Usually there's chatter.

"Is something wrong?" I ask.

Juliet lifts her head up from out of her hands, revealing the running mascara made from tears.

"Janet is dead."

A/N: HELLO!!! IM BACK!!!

Sorry for the long hold! I was on holidays!

I'll be updating more often from now on!
