Shattered

It was about 10 minutes until closing time. The last person just left the bar and we decided to close up a but early since I had plans and Harry is going to that party.

" Be safe ok? I don't want Chance hurting you." Harry spoke up as we closed down.

" Harry chill, I'm a big girl and Chance seems like a nice guy. " I defended him. I was going out with him in all. Harry groaned.

" Alright."

Just then the doors opened and in walked Chance with a big smile on his face.

" You ready Sydney?" He asked. I nodded.

" Yeah, let's go" and away we went.

" So where are we going?" I asked. He smiled.

" Well I found out about a party at my friend Zayn's house yesterday and I figured I could just take you as my date." He smiled. I nodded. Another party? I didn't want to go to another party, especially one with a stranger. I wonder if it was the same party Harry and my sister were going to.

" It's going to be a fun night." He looked over at me and winked.

I hope he knows that he's not getting any of this. I thought, referring to my body.

• Harry's pov •

I pulled up to Zayn's and slammed my door shut. Chance was such an idiot. He didn't even say 'Hello' or a 'you look great tonight' just 'are you ready, Sydney?' In such a cocky tone. He was such a dickhead, and she could do so much better.

I walked inside Zayn's house to the loud music and smell of alcohol in search for Marilyn.

I went inside the kitchen to see her on the counter drinking from the keg of beer, with everyone around her chanting 'Chug, Chug, Chug'

I rolled my eyes And walked through the crowd and yanked the tube from her mouth.

" That's enough." I hissed. She's ruining herself.

" You're such a llllllllooserrr Harry." She slurred. She was so wasted.

" C'mon you're drunk." I said. She nodded.

" I'm just having a good time!" She yelled the last part.

" Whatever." I left the kitchen pissed at her and sat on the couch in the living room.

" Hey Haz." I turned and saw Niall.

" What the fuck do you want?"

He sat next to me.

" Someone is in a sour mood." He kicked his feet up onto the coffee table and sipped some beer.

" Don't fucking remind me."

He looked over my shoulder and towards the door.

" Hey there's Sydney. With Chance..." I could hear the sadness in his voice as he trailed off.

My my eyes widened and my head snapped into the direction of the door.

sure enough, Chance had his arm around her shoulders, leading her inside.

Really? This is what he called a date?

I rolled my eyes and faced foward, trying to calm down. Maybe I should just leave. This night had been boring and annoying.

• Sydney's pov •

We walked inside the Loud house and the first thing I saw was Harry on the couch next to Niall.

Niall.

He was looking at us with sad eyes. I would much rather be with him than Chance.

" C'mon, let's go inside the kitchen. " Chance pulled me that way.

As as we entered, I saw Marilyn hop off the counter and stumble past me, obviously drunk. She looked terrible and didn't even realize I was there.

" Are you sure that's your sister?" Chance chuckled from beside me. I forced a small giggle and we leaned against the counter.

" Hey chance, who's this?"

I looked to to my side to see an Olive skinned boy with many tattoos similar to Harry's and a thick layer of eyelashes around his eyes. He was very exotic and beautiful.

" This is Sydney. Marilyn's sister."

The boy smiled

" Oh, hey Sydney it's nice to meet you. I would have never guessed you were realted to her. You seem so quiet and nice." He laughed. Yes, Marilyn was more free spirited and louder than I am. " I'm Zayn." He said. I grinned.

" Hey Zayn, and Yeah sometimes I can't believe I'm related to her."

" Yeah I can't believe it either. Well, have a nice time." He smiled before walking away.

" We will." Chance said more to himself than responding to Zayn. I'm not sure if I was supposed to hear it.

" Stay here, I'm going to go get us drinks from Zayn's hidden cooler. He keeps all the good stuff there." He winked and left before I could tell him that I don't drink.

" Hey, you look new." I looked up to someone who wore their hair similar to Niall's. It was brown but his eyes we blue mixed with gray.

" Yeah I guess. I'm Sydney." I smiled. His eyebrows raised an his smiled widened.

" Oh! You're Marilyn's little Sister? Yeah you're that girl Harry was talking about." He said. I was caught off gaurd. Harry talks about me?

" Yeah." I giggled.

" anyways, I'm Louis." He put his hand out. I put mine in his and shook it. Right then Chance came up with the drinks and Louis walked away.

" Lisen Chance, I don't... Drink." I pushed the drink away. He smiled.

" C'mon one sip. Cheers to us?" He smiled. One sip can't be that bad. I'd take one and that'd be all, just to satisfy him.

" Fine. " I raised my glass up and he clinked his to mine.

" Cheers to us."

And right before I took my drink, he winked at me.
