Jessica's P.O.V.

I woke up to my yellow ceiling. I smiled and stretched. I sat up and groaned my head was pounding. All the events of earlier came flooding back and I felt tears prick my eyes . I quickly blinked them back.

It was 7:00 which meant I had been sleeping most of the day. I stumbled over to the bathroom, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. My shoulder throbbed and I looked in the mirror at it and to my surprise it was bandaged. I didn't recall injuring my shoulder or my fists they were wrapped to.

All I could remember was breaking down, and waking up in my bed. I didn't remember anything between that. I knew the boys would know, obviously someone had wrapped up my knuckles and shoulder.

I cringed as I glanced at my face in the mirror. I was all red around the eyes and my cheeks were puffy. I splashed some cold water on my face hoping to reduce the redness, but to no avail. My face was still as red as before after I was done splashing it with cold water.

I gave up on the matter, and opened my door. I snuck a glance out wondering if they were setting there staring at me or something weird like that. My head still pounded a bit from all the crying.

I still felt slightly numb, now that I had finally gotten all the emotion out I felt better. I still missed her, but nevertheless I felt better then earlier.

I crept down the stairs. It didn't matter because they were all sitting in kitchen talking to each other. They noticed me right when I placed my foot on the last stair.

"Hey Jess." Niall said giving me a smile.

"Hey." I said quietly back.

"I'm going to go watch something. I'll leave you two to talk." Louis said walking away Liam and Harry in tow.

"What happened?" I asked tentively.

"You don't remember?" He asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Well..." I said biting my lip and trying to recall everything I remembered." I remember I went to my room and then started crying and after that I don't remember anything till I woke up on the bed."

"Oh, well you started crying and screaming, so we got the key and I went in your room. Your shoulder and knuckles were bleeding so I took care of that. You cried for a while after that then I layed you down in your bed once you were done crying." He explained.

"Oh, okay. What happened to my shoulder?" I asked.

"Your mirror broke. It must have fallen on you or something."

I noticed he had a bandage wrapped around his forearm. "What happened to your arm?" I asked.

"A piece of glass stabbed me." He said like it was something casual.

"Oh gosh, I'm so sorry." I said running my hand through my stiff hair.

"Don't be its okay. I was really worried about you though." He said and I looked into his eyes. They were filled with worry and I felt bad for worrying him.

"It's not okay I'm sorry I can't keep it together." I said sniffing.

"Hey it's fine. I wouldn't have been any better if my mom passed away." He said laying a hand on my shoulder.

I said nothing just shook my head. I was being to emotional about all this. It was a while since she had passed, it was stupid of me. I'm sure he thought so, he just didn't want to hurt my feeling.

He pulled me in for a tight hug making me gasp in surprise. I smiled into his shirt and breathed in his smell.

"Now you better go convince the rest of the boys you're okay." He said and I sighed immediately.

Yah just I wanted to do. Talk to them. I hope you can sense the sarcasm there. I dreaded it, yes, I just talked to Niall, but Niall knew me better. He was there when I was crying, they weren't.

"Okay."

"Good luck." He said placing a kiss on my forehead.

I smiled and walked into the living room.

"Hey guys." I said giving a little wave.

"Hey Jess. Are you feeling better?" Harry asked with a worried expression.

"Yep a lot." I said throwing him a smile.

"Good I'm glad." He said standing up and covering the distance between us in two strides. He pulled me into a hug wrapping his arms around me snugly.

"Me to." I whispered. He probably didn't hear it though. I was good, well maybe not good, but better.

"Hey leave some Jess for the rest of us." Louis said pulling Harry away and immedietly wrapping me into his arms.

"You didn't do it again?" He asked and I immediately knew what he meant.

"No, a promise is a promise." I whispered so only he could hear.

"Good." He said giving me a pat on the shoulder before pulling away.

Liam came over last and hugged me tightly.

"I'm so sorry." He whispered in my ear.

"Thanks." I said with a slight smile. It kind of annoyed me, none of them every mentioned anything until I had broken down about it. They knew my mother had passed the day I arrived, and they offered no consolation then. But of course we were practically strangers so I didn't stay annoyed long, the more I thought it through.

Now that they were informed I was well, and they had offered their words I headed back into the kitchen. I once again took the seat beside Niall.

"Are you hungry?" Niall asked.

Now that I thought about it I was quite hungry indeed. " Yes actually. Did you guys eat dinner yet?" I wondered.

"Yeah we did. There should be some leftovers."

"If anybody ate all of it it was probably you." I said with a small laugh.

"True,true." He said with a chuckle.

I smiled and went to the fridge to hunt for some leftovers. I ended up finding two slices of pizza which was pretty good. I warmed them up on a plate and grabbed myself a glass and filled it with water.

I plopped myself down at the table and started eating

"So why are you still here?" I asked Niall who was just watching me eat.

"I wanted to keep you some company." He said with a cheeky smile.

"Thanks." I said with a smile, but it didn't quite reach my eyes.

Who knows what he thought of me know. I just broke down and fell apart in front of him, how could he ever look at me the same again.

He talked to me while I ate. Mostly I just nodded and smiled. I didn't feel like talking much, plus I was to busy wolfing down my food.

"Do you want to go somewhere together?" He asked after he had finished showing me some funny video on his phone.

"I don't know." I said shaking my head. I just didn't feel up to it.

"Okay. We don't have to if you don't want to." He said although I could see that he looked kind of upset that I didn't want to do something with him.

"No, we can go somewhere. I'll go get changed." I said forcing a little smile. I could play the part of a happy girlfriend it's the least I could do for him after all he's done for me.

"If you're sure." He said although I could clearly see he really was glad I was considering it.

"Yes." I said more firmly.

"Okay." He said beaming.

I washed my plate and glass quick before going upstairs to change. I changed into a pair of high-waisted jeans and a short flowy top with a flower design on it. I slipped on my red flats and pulled my hair into a messy bun at the top of my head.

I put some color correct and concealer around my eyes to get rid of the redness. I put some eyeliner and mascara on. I put some hoop earrings in and finished off the outfit with a necklace.

I went downstairs and looked in the kitchen for Niall. He wasn't there so I headed to the living room.

"Do you guys know where Niall went?" I asked the boys who were still watching TV.

"I think he's in his room." Liam said quickly glancing at me then glueing his eyes back to whatever was on.

I went upstairs and knocked on his door.

"Just a sec." He said. There was a thump then the door opened.

"Hey." I said.

"Hey ready to go?" He said after a few seconds in which he looked at my outfit and blushed.

"Yep are you?" I asked raising an eyebrow. He had one sock on and was holding his shoes in his hand. His shirt was also rumpled.

"Yeah just need to put my shoes on." He hopped on one foot as he slipped his one shoe on then the other.

He stood up straight and I straightened out his shirt.

"Thanks." He said with a sheepish smile.

"Of course." I said winking.

"Okay let's go. You look beautiful by the way." He said grasping my hand in is.

I gave a slight shiver at the touch. " Thanks you look good to." I said saying the last part quieter. It wasn't like me to go throwing compliments around at guys.

"Your welcome and thanks." He said giving my hand a light squeeze.

We walked out to his car and he, being the gentleman he was, opened the door for me. He started up the car, and turned up the radio.

"Where are we going?" I asked knowing he probably wouldn't tell me, but there was no harm in asking.

"Surprise." He said with a smirk.

"Knew it, but I thought I would ask." I said rolling my eyes.

"Yeah." He said with a laugh.

We drove the rest of the way jamming along to the radio. We pulled into a parking lot surrounded by woods. It was a little creepy with all the trees looming above.

"Where is this?" I asked a little tremor of fear in my voice.

"We're at a park." He said with a grin.

I rolled my eyes clearly we were at some type of park. I waited for him to come around and open my door and once he did I hopped out and took his hand. He led the way onto a small path between the crowded trees.

We walked for a few minutes before we reached an outcrop. There was a small bench and he gestured for me to sit. I did and he took a seat beside me.

The sun was almost on the horizon and I could see why he had brought me here. It was stunning. The sky was painted with streaks of red and gold on a background of blue. I regretted not bringing my camera, at least I still had my phone.

"Do you like it?" He asked rubbing circles on the back of my hand which was soothing.

"I do." I said with a smile. It was calming and exactly what I needed after a day like today.

"Good." He said tucking a stray hair behind my ear.

I smiled at that, he did it a lot, tuck my hair behind my ear. It was a small gesture, but I always felt warm inside after he did it.

"It's almost as beautiful as you." He said and I blushed. Though I doubt he could see it in the dimming light.

He leaned in and brushed his lips against mine. Sparks ignited and I wrapped my arms around his neck.

I pulled away and layed my head on his shoulder watching the continuing sun set. I was smiling so wide. He was the perfect boyfriend I couldn't ask for someone better. It was sweet of him to take me somewhere like this especially after the day I'd had. I felt like a cliche girl watching the sunset but I didn't care, I was enjoying it to much.

Sometimes when I looked out at the world like this I wished I could go somewhere else.
Be someone different, fly away and never look back. But today I felt content. I felt happy here in the moment. My eyes usually full of longing were, for once, full of content. I had everything I needed right here and I was happy.
