ALEXI'S P.O.V

"Yes actually. Zayn came across it yesterday, and when I asked if anyone had seen it, he said he had."

Zayn came over and handed over my sack which I took gratefully.

"I didn't look inside, so..yeah.." Zayn tells me.

"Thankyou" I thank him.

***************

When I got back to Harry's room, I checked to see if everything was still in my sack.

Thankfully, they were, and I put the locket around my neck for safe keeping.

**********a few days later*********

Although I made a big deal out of being forced to stay in the motel, I wasn't really upset. Everyone made sure I was never lonely and with all the rest, my head was feeling a lot better.

No-one can be bored around my new friends...and...brother. It feels so good to be able to say that in public. My brother.

.

Today was another beautiful day.

And I want to see if I'm allowed to go out.

So, I go and find Harry.

I find him talking with Niall.

"Hey there brother." I greet.

"What? And no hello to me?" Niall pouts.

I laugh and say hello to him too.

"So...um, I was wondering, could i go out today, for a walk. I feel much better!" I ask nervously.

Harry looks thoughtful.

"Well..I'm not sure...I don't know.." He says slowly.

I give him my best puppy-dog eyes.

I know it's wrong to do so but ever since I found out my brother's weakness, I've been using it against him.

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. * insert evil laugh while rubbing hands together *

Once Harry sees my facial expression, he groans and slowly nods.

"Okay fine. But make sure to take some of the girls with you. And don't forget to look both ways before crossing the road, and don't run or you'll trip, and also.."

I interrupt hurriedly.

"Blah blah blah. Yes Harry, I'm not a baby. I will be careful okay? Love you" I say.

Harry sighs.

"My baby sister is growing up" he mumbles.

"Harry, I'm the same age as you for crying out loud!" I retort.

Harry rolls his eyes before hugging me tightly.

"Love you tooooo" he coos in my ear.

"Okay okay! Enough sweetness, it's gonna rot my teeth! By the way Alexi, is it alright if Janelle comes with you? She just texted me that she wants to go shopping and needs someone to go with her." Niall says.

"Yeah that'll be fine. I'll see if any of the other girls would like to go too." I agree.

Then I turn around to go.

"Hey wait" Harry tell me.

I turn back around and Harry pushes a wad of cash in my hands.

"Take it, and buy yourself something" he winks.

I smile in thanks, and then turn around to go again.

*at the shopping centre, in town*

I listen to the girls as they chat together.

I had already told my childhood story to them, since they insisted, but I had finished it as soon as possible, to get the attention off me. I don't like attention.

All of the girls ended up coming, and I feel myself getting more and more close friends with them.

That included Janelle, who was really very nice.

She was perfect for Niall.

"Hey so did you see what was trending in twitter today Janelle!?!" Perrie exclaims.

"No, I haven't been on it today" she answers.

"Check your phone." Perrie orders.

Janelle takes her phone out of her pocket and studies the screen.

Then her face fills with shock.

"Wow!" She exclaims.

"I know right! Jiall is trending worldwide! I totally ship it!" Perrie squeals.

"Hey um...what is twitter, if you don't mind me asking? And what do you mean, ship it?" I ask curiously, unable to hold back my question any longer.

"Oh! Well, twitter is an app on a phone, which lots of people use to...tweet things on I guess?! It's a social network..I'm not quite sure how to explain it...And when we say we 'ship' something, it means when we support two people dating. And then you put their names together, and that's called their ship name. For example, Zayn's and mine ship name is Zerrie" Perrie explains.

"Wait a second, you don't have a phone do you!! We totally need to get you one! We will get one on this shopping trip!" Jade exclaims.

"Okay. You all will need to explain what to do on it though! I have literally no idea!" I laugh.

" anyway that's what we meant by Jiall. Jiall is Janelle's and Niall's ship name." Perrie tells me.

I nod to show her that I understand.

"Sooo...is there any special boy that you might like, Alexi?" Leigh-Ann smirks at me teasingly.

I blush.

"Awh look she's blushing! Tell us who this lucky guy is!" Jade giggles.

"Well..actually..." I mumble.

All the girls lean in closer, to hear what I'm saying.

"I..kinda like Louis..." I mumble quietly, with my cheeks on fire.

"Yes! I knew it! You too would be adorable together!!!!" Jesy shrieks.

I blush even more.

"We need to think of a ship name for you!" Janelle exclaims.

"Oh I got one! Lalexi!" Perrie suggests.

"Yes! That is so perfect I can't even... What is air?!?!?!" Jade gushes.

"Air is a mixture of gases that circle Earth, kept in place by gravity. Air makes up Earth's atmosphere. The air we breathe is 78 percent nitrogen gas, 21 percent oxygen, 0.9 percent argon, and 0.03 percent carbon dioxide, along with water vapor-floating molecules of water. Also present are traces of other gases and tiny bits of dust, pollen grains from plants, and other solid particles. As our atmosphere extends higher and higher above Earth, toward outer space, air becomes thinner and the combination of g..." Janelle is abruptly interrupted by Jade.

"Okay okay okay I get it!! It was a figure of speech. You knew what I meant! Where did you get so smart from anyway??" Jade exclaims.

"Google" Janelle says simply.

"I officially love this girl!" Perrie laughs.

We all agree. Janelle was really funny. Simple as that. And I loved a sense of humour.

Maybe that's why I liked Louis...because he was really funny. Childish sometimes, but also funny.

"Alright girls! Let's go find Alexi a new phone shall we?" Perrie asks.

I'm rather excited for a new phone!!!
