I opened my laptop. Some of my friends from back home were online so I chatted with them. We didn't talk about anything too serious, just small talk. I felt my phone vibrate.
Liam: Hey what are you doing?
Me: Just browsing the internet.
Liam: You want to go do something?
Me: Sure
I said goodbye to my friends and shut my laptop before grabbing my bag. (I was wearing this http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=43394833) Niall was at Louis' apartment doing something, but I didn't remember what Niall said they were doing. I was headed for the door and heard a knock. I opened it and Liam smiled.
Liam: You ready?
Me: Yup! Where are we going?
Liam: I don't know. It will be a surprise for the both of us.
Me: Sounds great!
A spontaneous little trip to somewhere around London seemed like the perfect thing. I didn't really want to be around Harry since the little ice cream kiss. It was hard us both still liking each other and not being able to be together. I knew I was doing the right thing, but I came so close to caving every time I saw him. Liam and I pulled up to a small hat shop and he stopped.
Me: Do you need a hat?
He laughed.
Liam: No this is just for fun. This place is always good for a few laughs.
We went inside and there were hats everywhere. Any kind of hat you could imagine, you could find there. Liam quickly grabbed a very large and ridiculous looking hat and sat it on his head.
Liam: How do I look?
I couldn't help but laugh.
Me: You look fabulous!
I joined him. We tried on all sorts of crazy hats, taking pictures together in the mirror. After a while we started picking hats for each other. It was so much fun!
HARRY'S POV
I got up in the morning and got dressed in a casual t-shirt, jeans, and converse. I opened the fridge but nothing looked appetizing. I couldn't get Shay off of my mind. Would she ever take me back? I decided to go for a walk and clear my head. While I sauntered down the road I thought about her. She had made up her mind. I needed to get over her. I was so stupid to go and cheat on her. The worst part was that I knew that every time I drank, I woke up in a different girl's bed the next morning. I should have held off that night. Then she might still be mine to hold. But she didn't have to leave the party. If she would have stayed I might have woken up with her. It was partially her fault. We could have had the best night of our lives instead of ruining our relationship like she did. The more I thought about it, the more I talked myself into the fact that our breakup was her fault. She could have been the girl that I slept with if she wouldn't have left me. I was deep in thought when I collided with another person.
Me: I'm so sorry.
Girl: It's fine, just help me up.
I looked down at a girl that was really pretty. She had long blonde hair and big sunglasses that covered her eyes. She wasn't wearing much by the way of clothing. As I helped her up my hood fell and she took her glasses off to readjust them. Her eyes were a gorgeous crystal blue. She looked up at me.
Girl: OMG! You're Harry Styles!
I laughed lightly.
Me: Yes I am and you are?
I offered her my hand and she quickly placed hers in mine, nearly jumping up and down. Her smile was radiant.
Girl: Amanda but you can call me Mandy.
Me: Pleasure to meet you, Mandy.
I turned on the charm and kissed her hand. She squealed a little and I released her hand. There was nobody with her.
Me: So where are you off to?
Mandy: I was just going to meet up with some friends, nothing too important.
Me: Would you like to take a stroll with me?
Mandy: I would love too!
She put her glasses back on and we walked slowly towards town.
SHAY'S POV
Liam and I were rolling laughing in the hat store, but the manager gave us a few looks so we decided that it was time to leave. We went back out but decided to go to another small boutique before going back to the car. As we turned the corner we came face to face with Harry and some girl. I froze and felt Liam's hand on my back. Harry looked just as surprised as I was. I looked the girl up and down. She had on cut-off shorts and a short singlet that exposed her stomach and her black bra (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=43395699). Slut was written all over her. No wonder Harry was with her.
Harry: Hey what are you two doing?
I spoke quietly.
Me: I could ask you the same.
Liam: Just running around. What are you doing?
I spoke under my breath.
Me: Her.
Harry: Guys this is Mandy.
Mandy: Hi, Liam! It's so amazing to finally meet you guys!
I looked at Harry.
Me: You bounce back quickly don't you?
He started to say something but Mandy interrupted.
Mandy: And you are?
I faked a smile and shook her offered hand.
Me: Shay.
Mandy: Oh I recognize you! You...are his girlfriend?
The realization came mid-sentence as she pointed questioningly towards Harry. I shook my head quickly and was short.
Me: No. Not anymore.
Harry just stood there quietly. I glanced over at Liam, who didn't look like he knew what to do or say.
Mandy: Oh! You're with Liam now!
Me: No! Just friends. That's all.
Mandy: Ok then.
She still looked confused, but she didn't really care about me so she just moved on.
Liam: So anyways we are going to grab lunch.
Mandy: That sounds great! I'm starved!
No way. I was going to have to eat lunch with my ex and his new girlfriend? Just hand me a barf bag. Somehow the four of us ended up going to a small cafe down the street. This was going to be the most awkward lunch ever.
