Phoenix's POV

"Change of plans, mates. The artist just flew over in the middle of his US tour and has a bad case of jetlag. He'll meet us at the studio tomorrow," Simon said, pulling into a parking lot to turn around.

When we arrived at the flat, it was nearing dinnertime. None of us were hungry enough for a meal, except for my Ni-bear, so Louis had the brilliant idea to put a movie on. I let the five of them duke it out while I popped a couple bags of popcorn. But the time I came in, the previews had already started.

"What are we watching?" I asked as I passed out two bowls of popcorn to Zayn and Liam and Harry and Louis. Niall and I shared our own bowl.

"Friday the 13th," Louis said, giggling like a little girl.

"Is that a scary movie?" I asked.

"Yeah. Have you seen it?" Harry asked.

"No," was my simple reply. By then, the movie started, so I grabbed a pillow and stole the popcorn from Niall.

"Hey, don't forget to share some with me," he whispered. I absentmindedly nodded, not moving the bowl.

About halfway into the movie, I got up to take our bowl into the kitchen to put it in the dishwasher. Niall followed me and got a beer from the fridge.

"Want one?" he asked me.

"Nah," I shook my head.

"Suit yourself," he said, closing the fridge and going into the living room. I followed, grabbing the pillow again.

****After the movie****

The movie was perhaps the scariest movie I'd ever seen. No doubt I screamed and cowered behind the pillow several times.

"You alright, Phoenix?" Zayn asked. He'd seen me cowering behind the pillow during the movie.

"Yeah," I replied, my breathing ragged.

"Who wants to play Truth or Dare?" I asked, hoping to get everyone's mind off the movie and off me.

Everyone gathered around Niall's empty beer bottle and I spun first, landing on Liam.

"Liam, truth or dare?" I asked.

"Um, truth," he answered.

When did you meet your ex girlfriend, Eleanor?"

"X-Factor, 2010," he replied.

"Harry, truth or dare?" Liam said when the bottle landed on him.

"Dare."

"Um, I dare you to lick peanut butter covered in jelly off Zayn's stomach," Liam said.

"What's the punishment for not accepting a dare?" he asked.

"You have to go blindfolded for the rest of the night," Louis said.

"Uggggh," Harry groaned as we all went to the kitchen, Zayn laying himself on the counter like a cadaver. Niall spread the peanut butter and I got to spoon the jelly on top of that.

Harry licked and licked until we declared him done, after which I yawned. It was exhausting, and I could hardly keep my eyes open.

"I'm going to go to bed. I'll see you lads in the morning," I said as I climbed the stairs.

"But, you never got to play," Louis protested.

"I'll play later. I can hardly keep my eyes open," I said.

I climbed the stairs and barely made it into my room and on my bed before collapsing the bed, clothes still on.

*Several hours later*

Niall's POV

I was having a pleasant dream with Nandos in it (weird, I know) when I heard soft sobbing coming from across the hall. Phoenix's room. Getting up and slipping a sweatshirt on over my boxers, I sleepily slid in next to her and cuddled her in my arms. Her sobs slowly turned into occasional sniffles, and I knew I had calmed down whatever was going on.

Phoenix's POV

I was having some weird nightmare that I had lost Niall. My dream self was sleeping, and my actual self saw Niall get up in the middle of the night and curl up in the really comfortable recliner. When my dream self woke up, I saw Niall in the chair. I attempted to wake him up, but he was dead, even after I felt for a pulse. My dream self burst out crying, and I guess my actual self began to cry as well.

I faintly heard my door open while I was crying and someone crawled in beside me, cuddling me closer to their chest. I knew immediately it was Niall, and I began to stop crying and I fell back into a dark and dreamless sleep.

The Next Day

I was on Twitter, checking my feed, when I stumbled across a video that Zayn had posted. My curiousity got the better of me, and I watched it. It took place in our living room, and I assumed they continued the game from last night.

"Harry, truth or dare?" Zayn asked.

"Dare," Harry replied.

"I dare you to kiss Louis on the lips."

What I saw was something I didn't really want to see, but I knew all the Larry Stylinson shippers were going crazy.

"What, is Larry real?" I asked when I walked into the kitchen and sat down to breakfast.

"No, it was a dare. Why?" Harry replied quickly and nervously.

"Twitter exploded," I replied.

"Thanks, Zayn. I do happen to have a girlfriend, you know," Louis grumbled.

"Lighten up Lou. It was only a dare," Zayn said, laughing.

"Ok, so when do we have to be at the studio?" I asked, changing the subject.

"Oneish," Liam said. He was always so organized and two steps ahead of everybody else.

"Ok, I'm going to take a shower, and then we should go," I said, putting my dishes in the dishwasher and then leaving.

Author's Note

Hey. Here's another chapter.

I lost a friend. She defriended and blocked me on FB. So, now I'm depressed. Sorry if the chapter isn't as good. I'm dedicating the chapter to xDanixHemmingsx for giving me an idea for one of the dares.

Happy birthday to Christopher Eccleston, the 9th Doctor on Doctor Who.
