*Reagan’s POV*
I turned around and though I was excited it wasn’t who I had hoped for.

“Laurie! Oh my gosh! I’ve missed you so much!” Laurie hugged me back and laughed at my shocked reaction but when I looked over her shoulder, I could see Niall and Liam standing back against a wall watching our embrace.

“I’ve missed you too. I didn’t know that you would be back.” Laurie hugged Peyton next before giving me a confused look.

“I tried to call you but you didn’t answer. I thought you were still angry with me about...” I trailed off, not wanting to have this discussion in front of Peyton. Laurie nodded slightly in understanding before she replied.

“No of course not, I lost all of my contacts in my phone due to a glitch and I realized how stupid it was that we aren’t at least Facebook friends so that I could keep in touch with you and Channel.” Peyton left to go get our food before Laurie whispered to me.

“What’s going on with you and Peyton? I knew that he was going to California too, but are you guys like a thing again?”

“No, I..” Peyton came back food in hand causing me to stop the conversation.

“Laurie come on, let them eat. You can talk t’ her later we’re going t’ be late.” Laurie scrunched her nose at Niall before turning to talk to me.

“I should get your number again. We have a lot to talk about.”

Laurie put my number back in her phone, and I couldn’t help but notice the way that neither of the boys would come up to us, just stood in the background watching.

“Are all of them upset with me? Did I mess everything up?” I kept my voice to a whisper, sure that Peyton couldn’t hear and Laurie smiled even though her eyes bled with sympathy.

“No. Niall isn’t upset either...He’s just...they’ll come around.” Laurie looked back at Niall quietly scolding him as he knotted his eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders and Liam looked unphased by it all, perfectly fine with his stance in the corner. I understand it if they were upset. I would understand it if they all were. What I wouldn’t be able to handle is if it stayed that way. I nodded my head slightly and Laurie changed the subject.

“You guys should come with us. We’re going to a little get together at Louis’ house.”

All of me wanted to go there knowing that Harry would probably be there too, but I know that bringing Peyton with me would make things worse than they already are and I don’t want to be rude and ditch him here after he bought me my dinner for the night.

“Um no, it’s fine. You guys go without us. We just landed today and I’m actually really tired. Have a good time though. I’m just around the corner at the Savoy hotel if you want to come visit me sometime.”

“I’ll come round tomorrow if that’s alright?”

“Should be fine.” Laurie opened her arms and pulled me into a hug after Niall called for her again and the words she whispered for only us to hear caused my breath to hitch in my throat and my voice to crack.

“Harry will be so happy to know you’re back. He’s misses you Rea. So much.”

“I hope so Laurie.”

After we left McDonald's, we went back to the hotel dragging our feet from exhaustion. I could barely get myself in my room I was so tired and it took me three times before the key-card turned the little lock light on the door green.

Once I got into my room, I dug my sleeper shirt out of my bag and collapsed on my bed allowing my exhaustion to take over.

*Laurie’s POV*
After we left maccas Niall and Liam began conversation in which Niall kept trying to drag me into, but I had nothing to say to him. I had nothing to say to either of them to be exact.

“What’s wrong lady love?” Niall tried to wrap his arms around me as we walked but I swatted his hands away before they could go around my waist.

“What is wrong with you?! With the both of you actually?!”

“How did I get dragged into this?” Liam quirked an eyebrow before I spoke again.

“You were both so rude back there! You stood there like you didn’t know Reagan and she’s done nothing wrong. Nothing for you to treat her the way either of you did.”

“Do you know how long it took Harry t' get back t’ going out again let alone get taken off of suicid watch? He tried t’ kill himself because of her for Christ sake! No matter how much he denies it, we all know what he did. You were there! You were there when he was in his room not breathing! He's one of my best mates, like a younger brother t' me. He just got back t' somewhat normal and now she’s back t' tear him down again. So no, I have nothing t’ say t’ her and you won’t either.”

“Excuse me? You will not tell me who I can and can’t be friends with or talk to Niall!”

“Be friends with her, be my guest! Talk t’ her all you want, but when we get inside, don’t you tell him that she’s back.”

“Niall I-”

“Laurie! Promise me right now!”

“It would probably be best for him Laur. Think about Harry’s health.” Liam chimed in leaving me in complete shock. He’s usually the most reasonable of the group.

“Promise me Laurie.” Niall demands of me again as Liam went to knock on the door for it to be answered on cue by an intoxicated Harry. I looked at Niall and pushed passed him as I went into the house.

“Trouble in paradise Nialler?” Harry slurred his words lazily smiling as he stood aside to let the boys in only to receive a groan in response from a newly annoyed Niall.

“What took you all so long anyway?” Louis raised his head to speak over the movie and take a sip from his beer drawing the attention of Eleanor who was sat on his lap.

“We were at macca’s and we ran into someone.” I spoke purposely looking at Niall to get a rise from him.

“Laurie!”

“An old friend actually. I’m sure you all know her.”

“Laurie, don’t!” I rolled my eyes before I grabbed a beer out of the refrigerator not bothered by the seething look in Niall’s eyes. He’s all bark and no bite.

“Well out with it. Who was it then?” Harry’s curiosity got the best of him as I knew it would and I grinned at Niall condescendingly before I spoke again. I turned to look at Harry and I could feel both Niall and Liam’s eyes boring into my back.

“Reagan. Reagan is here, Niall thought it would be best for you not to know.” The room went quiet and everyone looked first at Harry for his reaction and then to me as if I had made the biggest mistake in my life.

Harry’s eyebrows furrowed and the expression on his face was hard to read only because so many emotions seemed to be evident at once.

“She’s here?! She’s here and you weren’t going to tell me?!” The emotion that rang through all of the others at this moment was pure anger, and I began to think that maybe it was best not to let him know. Not until Reagan told him herself that is.

“No I wasn’t! And Laurie you should never have opened your big mouth eith-” Harry crossed the room to where Niall stood and punched him in the face before he could finish talking causing me to scream as they began to full on fight.

“Harry! Niall Stop it! STOP!” I went to try to break them up but before I could get to them, Eleanor grabbed me warning me that it wasn’t a good idea. Liam, Zayn, and Louis tore Harry off of Niall before any more damage could be done. Niall’s eye had already begun to darken and blood began to flow freely from Harry’s lip before he started shouting at me.

“Where is she?! WHERE?!”

“She said she’s staying at the Savoy. I don’t know the room number.” Harry pushed Zayn and Liam off of him before he left Louis’ house slamming the door behind him.

*Harry’s POV*
I got in my car and drove enraged to the Savoy. It took me only minutes to get there because I sped through traffic, lucky not to have gotten pulled over. She’s here, why wouldn’t she tell me she’s here? I parked my car at least a block away and jogged there allowing the cool night air to sooth me from my heated state.

When I got to the hotel entrance, I paused. She’s here and it’s almost as if I can feel her, like she’s right here standing next to me. My heart began to race in my chest and even though I want to see her, I’m still furious with her and the reaction that she gets from me. I shouldn’t still feel this way about her. I should be so angry that I should be revolted by her but deep down I still want her. I still need her here with me.

It wasn’t until I entered the hotel that I realized that I was still buzzed and the bright lighting in the lobby seemed to bring it out more. I was lucky that the receptionist at the front desk was a girl. It would be easy to get Reagan’s room number; all I have to do is flirt.

“Are you alright sir? Would you like a medic?”

“What?” The receptionist pointed at her lip and it wasn’t until then that I remembered the fight. I fought Niall and he busted my lip...fucking tosser. I feel bad, but he should have told me in the first place.

“Oh. No I’m fine I slipped and fell outside on a leaf. I’m just clumsy. Um, I lost my room key. It must have fallen out of my pocket when I fell.”

“Do you know what room and floor you were in sir?”

Shit.

“Uh, no, but my girl- my friend is up there. I think she’s asleep and I wouldn’t want to wake her.” The receptionist looked at me skeptically until I wiped more blood off of my lip and winced in pain. It actually really did hurt and I know my mouth will be bruised in the morning, but I also knew it would make her feel sorry for me.

“You poor thing, here let me give you a tissue. Put pressure on that.”

“Thank you.” When I took the tissue from her I made sure that our hands touched momentarily. I grinned at her causing a blush to cover her cheeks and a smile to grace her lips and I knew I had her after that.

“What’s your friend’s name?”

“Reagan Stoger.” She typed it into the computer database before she told me that Reagan was in room 1226. I thanked her and grinned like an idiot at her again before getting on the lift.

*Reagan’s POV*
I couldn’t sleep all that well even though I was physically spent. The flight had been a lot for me and not to mention my talk with Peyton. I turned over in my bed, lying on my stomach and flipping the pillow over to the cool side when I heard a loud banging on my door.

I sat up quickly in bed and heard a muffled call of what sounded to be my name. I grabbed my robe off the foot of the bed and put my glasses on before I went to the door to stare out the peep hole. I couldn’t see who it was because they had their head down but when, I heard my name called again, the voice was unmistakable.

I quickly unlocked the door then swung it open and when I did tears pricked at the back of my eyes. Too long, I’ve been away from him too long and to see him now was a shock to my system. When my eyes met with the beautiful green ones I had dreamed about every night since I’ve left, I could barely speak.

“Harry.”
