HARRY'S P.O.V

"So you took this girl out, and it was great but then today she hasn't talked to you" Louis asked, I sat back in my chair and looked at him

"Yes"

"Well maybe she is just going through something today Harry, you said it yourself you don't know what happened" Eleanor said, I sighed

"I know, it just sucks" I said as the waiter brought us our food

"Time and patience Harry" Eleanor added

"I thought she was finally letting me in, she went on a date with me" I said frustrated

"Harry" Eleanor said

"I don't think I've ever seen you this way mate" Louis said, he was right. I wasn't this way, if a girl wanted nothing to do with me I was ok with it, I could find someone else. This time was different, something about her that I wanted more of

"We going to meet her?" Eleanor asked

"If she will come out of the guest house yes"

"If she doesn't we will just pounce on her" Louis said

"You are not tigger, you will not pounce on anyone" Eleanor said, I cracked a smile as my phone vibrated. It was a text from my mum

FROM: MUM
hi love, I know you are stressing, but give her time, it's a little overwhelming for her, be patient. Love you, mum

Her words were reassuring at least so I figured she had talked to her today. But still I was Fallon for a grl I didn't know, a girl with a secret past that's he wouldn't let me in on.

After we finished eating we paid and headed to the car. The drive home was quiet except the unexpected outburst from Louis. When we arrived I grabbed Eleanor's bag while Louis grabbed his. We headed around the pool and I looked at the guest house, I sighed and walked into the house. My mouth fell slightly as I saw Nikki sitting on a stool in the kitchen with Gemma and Robin.

"Hi" I said walking up to her

"Hi" she said with a little smile, I opened my arms for her and smiled when she hugged me

"You ok" I asked in a whisper, I felt her nod into my chest

"I will be" she said with a reassuring smile

"Lou, Elle I missed you guys" Gemma said, I winked at Nikki and looked at my friends

"Eleanor and Louis this is Nikki, Nikki this is my best friend Louis and his girlfriend Eleanor"

"It's so nice to meet you" Eleanor said, I smiled as the girls shook hands

"Nice to meet you both" Nikki said shaking Louis's hand. I smiled and looked at my sister

"Feels good to be away from the chaos" Eleanor said, I jerked my head towards her and she smiled
before looking at Louis. One direction wasn't something Nikki knew about and at the moment I wasn't ready for her to know.

"So are we going to The Fox tonight?" Gemma asked, I looked over at Nikki

"What's that" Nikki asked

"It's a bar with a dance floor, it's a lot of fun" Louis said

"You don't have to go if your not up for it" I told her quietly

"I want to go" she said, I smiled

"Alright then, looks like we're going" I said looking at Robin, he smiled and walked out of the kitchen. I looked at Nikki and could tell she was forcing a smile.
