Arabella’s POV
Gradually, I have been recovering my memory. The only thing I have memory of was anything after leaving Oklahoma. London is just a blob hidden somewhere in the back of my mind, aside from my bet with Louis. Carly, Luke, and Danny left on Sunday. Things with Harry and I have been going great. Everyday I find another reason as to why I got back with him, but only time will tell.
“Guess what!” Louis yelled at us.
“What?”
“One Direction, and girlfriends, has been invited to Ellen’s charity masquerade. It’s this Friday!” he said.
A masquerade! Oh my gosh, I can’t wait. Wait? Friday? I only have two days to find a dress and mask?
“You couldn’t have told us sooner?” El asked, obviously having the same idea as me.
“We wanted to surprise you…”
“We only have two days to find dresses and masks! I officially hate surprises,” Perrie said.
“Well, how about we let the boys stay here, and let’s go shopping!” I said.
All the girls agreed with me.
“You’re leaving us now? We have the day off!” Zayn said.
“Well that’s what you get for not telling us earlier!” Perrie replied, and we walked out the door.
Three hours of looking and El and I are the only ones without a dress. We share a common quality of having to find the perfect dress. We all found a mask that we liked at a cute boutique though, so all that’s left is our dresses.
“Just pick one! My legs are sore!” Dani yelled at us.
El stepped out of the dressing room in a new dress.
“This is the one!” she exclaimed.
“Finally!” Perrie said. “Ara, hurry up!”
That is when I saw it. The perfect dress!
“That one!” I ran to it. It was just my style.

∞Friday∞
We have two hours until we have to leave. I slip into my dress, as do the others, and begin to fix my makeup. I decide to leave it off and just apply some mascara. I’m not very fond with makeup, and everyone knows that. I slip into my dress.
“You look great, Bell!” El screams from across the room.
“Thanks! You all look extremely beautiful,” I tell them. “I just feel bad that Carly isn’t here, because Niall is going to be alone.”
The door opened.
“Don’t look too disappointed,” Carly stands there in the most gorgeous dress.
“Carls! What are you doing here?”
“Surprising Niall. He doesn’t know that I’m here. Liam invited me.”
“That boy, why didn’t he tell me?” Dani asked.
“According to him, none of you can keep a secret.”
“True…” we say, and we busted out in laughter.
I did my hair and painted my nails sparkly silver because I felt like it. We had ten minutes left before we had to leave. We rushed downstairs to see five boys waiting for us. They stared in awe.
“Carly! What are you doing here?” Niall rushed to her. They were engulfed in conversation when Harry came up to me.
“You look beautiful,” he whispers in my ear. I was wearing this: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=75715309
I’m not into heels or flats, so that’s why I wore my converse.
The rest of the girls wore: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=75717900
“Not too bad yourself, Styles.”
“We better get going,” Daddy Direction tells us.
Harry’s POV
When we got to the event, I pulled Arabella over to meet some people.
“Well, if it isn’t Harry Potter,” I turned to see Ed.
“I would say the same Weasley,” I return. We both cracked up at our normal meeting. “This is my girlfriend, Arabella. Bella, this is-“
“Oh my gosh! You’re Ed Sheeran! I am such a huge fan,”
“She’s a keeper!” Ed tells me.
“Thanks, Ed.”
After meeting a few other people, we went and got wasted at the bar. We decided to leave early because we were both really drunk. When we got to her flat, I didn’t want to do anything stupid, so I just cuddled with her on the couch, nether of us bothering to change.
Arabella’s POV
Harry and I were pretty wasted, so we left early and crashed on the couch. He gave me a simple peck on the lips before cuddling against me and drifting off to sleep. I love how he didn’t try anything on me in this state. He makes me feel special by the way he takes things slow. He doesn’t pressure me to do anything I don’t want to do. He understands me, and I love that about him.
