*Harry's POV*
I couldn't wait for tonight. Addi's friends and I had been planning this for a few days. We knew that she needed a little pick me up and this seemed like it would do the trick. We hopped out of the car greeted by the brisk wind. We started running, trying to avoid the next big gust of wind. I pulled the door open and she ran through it and I soon followed.

We turned the corner and she smiled when she saw them sitting at a table near our lane. They turned around when they heard Addi squeal and they all joined together in a group huddle. I grinned as I looked at them try to catch up on the last few weeks. I took my phone out of my pocket realizing that this could take a few minutes. Suddenly the chatter stopped and I looked up to see all three girls looking at me.

“What are you waiting for Styles, your one of us now.” Layne said winking. I shrugged and ran over to them and joined in the group hug. Moments later we began our game. Mackenzie was up first. She had chosen a bright purple ball that was probably a little bit to big for her. She dragged it to the lane and slid it across the floor. It started straight and then quickly turned right into the gutter. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Addi sitting on the bench a few feet away from me. She had her phone in her hand and was scrolling through it, a dazed looked on her face.

“Ah-hem. Adds you ok?” I questioned sliding closer to her. She didn't respond at first so I lightly shoved her knee with my hand. She turned her head and looked up at me. Her eyes twinkled and she had a huge grin on her face.

“Tricked you! Yeah, i'm good. Thanks again for making me come. It's definitely worth it.” I playfully pushed her away and went back to my seat.

After two or three frames we all decided we were sick of bowling. We needed a little break. None of us were very good, or competitive for that matter. We decided that we would head over to Addi's to watch a movie. I offered to drive and we all piled into my car.

Layne sat in the passenger seat and Mackenzie and Addi took the back. Layne reached across the dash and turned the music and we all sang along. We danced, laughed, and goofed of until the car pulled to a stop in Addi's driveway. I looked in my rearview to see Addi smiling and laughing with Mackenzie. I'd say that tonight was pretty successful so far.

*Addison's POV*
After deciding to watch Paranormal Activity (I had lost the vote) we all squeezed onto the 3-person-couch that was directly across from the t.v. I sat next to Harry right up against the armrest. I hid behind my knees as the movie started not quite sure what to expect. Harry put his hand on my knee and squeezed it forcing me to open my eyes. I squinted at him and I saw him giggle. Throughout the movie Layne, Mackenzie and I kept moving closer into the middle. By the time the movie was done the three of us were almost completely hidden behind Harry's shoulders. As the credits rolled there was a unanimous sigh. WE all erupted into laughter.

“Why did we even watch this if all of us were going to be freaking out?” questioned Layne.

“My point exactly,” I replied as I hopped out of my seat. “I'll go grab us some food.”

After making some chips and cheese I balanced the trays as I navigated towards the living room. I turned the corner to see all three of them sprawled across the couch sleeping. It was only 10:30, what had gotten into them? I chuckled setting the plates down. I figured that Mackenzie and Layne could just spend the night but I couldn't let Harry stay. The boys would freak out if they ever found out. I walked around to the front of the couch and lightly shook Harry. He didn't budge.

“Harry, wake up. Harry!” He squinted and his big green eyes opened looking straight into mine. “You've got to go. You can't stay tonight, sorry!” He nodded and slowly got up from the couch. I put my arm around him and showed him to the front door. “I just wanted to say thanks. This really means a lot. Things are getting better and you're a big part of that.” I smiled.

He looked at me and pulled me into a hug. It felt warm. I could feel his hand resting on my back, making a swirling design across it. He cupped my head in his hands. They were rough and strong against my soft cheeks. “I'm glad Addie.” He let go, tracing his finger across my cheek as he turned. I watched as he walked back to his car. Layne and Mackenzie were right; he was a really great guy.
