ALENA ROSE PEARSON
"I-" Alena began to speak, not wanting to let an awkward silence prevail between her and Liam, but she was interrupted as he came forward and wrapped her in his arms. On instinct she immediately hugged him back, as they both held each other tightly. She shook her head as he apologized, "No...thank you," Alena let a full, real smile grace her features, "it's been too long since I've had one of your hugs." She giggled before letting her head fall forward to rest comfortably on his chest, listening to his heart beat.
Niall James Horan
Niall let out a deep sigh of relief as Tatum hugged him back. He pulled her even closer - if that was possible - when he felt her snuggle into his chest, breathing deeply the scent of her hair. "I love you Tatum," he said it lowly, softly, so that only she would hear. He pulled back slowly to look her in the eyes, still keeping his arms on her shoulders, "and nothing is ever gonna change that ok? Not even my parents." Niall said every word firmly, meaning them with all his heart. He wanted to use this time with Tatum to truly prove what he had just said to her.
