Louis POV
The next day, or shall I say later this current day, started right off the back with questions.

“I dunno..” Harry mumbled next to me, looking down at his empty lap. It was around 2 o’clock in the afternoon and we all were awake in the living room except for Nikki.

“Nikki got hurt because you decided to go to the club” Zayn frowned and Anjelica added to his comment.

“And with all people, Taylor” she said from her spot next to Niall.

“She’s my friend” Harry said, looking up to look at all of us.

“Oh yeah right” I muttered, rolling my eyes.

“How could you be friends with her after what she’s done to Nikki?” Nick asked, slightly shocked.

“She’s not bad” Harry said and I sighed. We all know, or well, most of us know that he’s doing it to disregard something. That something is a someone, and that someone is Nikki. Now things are getting bigger and bigger because Harry thinks that Liam likes Nikki, and Harry doesn’t want to deal with what he feels for Nikki. The whole talk that me and Harry had last night was about what’s going on with him and his feelings. He’s too afraid, and I frankly think he’s stubborn.

Flashback to last night
“Harry, that was so uncalled for” I growled as soon as the door shut.

“What? Having a good time?” He said, glaring at me.

“I know that you aren’t. You’re using it to ignore something, or someone” I said, balling my fists.

“Lou, I don’t want to do this, I can’t” Harry shook his head.

“Do what? Love Nikki?” I questioned and this seemed to frustrate him more.

“I never said that I loved her” he spat and I just rolled my eyes.

“But you can’t deny that you like her” I raised an eyebrow and Harry ruffled his hair angrily.

“I’m afraid of what will happen. I can’t go through with it. Besides, Taylors cool” Harry said and this frustrated me more.

“She no good, Har” I said, taking a step towards him.

“It’s not like I’m dating her” Harry huffed.

“Oh, and I guess that it’s not like you’re snogging and shagging her either” I harshly spoke and Harry gasped lightly.

“I’m not!!!”

“I’m trying to get a point across!!!” I yelled and Harry slumped. “You better march in there and make things right.”

“And what? Jump in her arms and tell her to be mine? I don’t think so” Harry shook his head.

“Well at least you could apologize to her, directly” I snarled.

“I already said sorry” he muttered.

“Wow Harry, you really are stubborn” I crossed my arms over my chest.

“I can’t risk it with her. She lives in the states, we live in the UK.”

“So?” I flatly spoke and Harry groaned.

“You don’t get it Lou!! I always get caught up in a girl! I don’t want to like Nikki!!”

“But you do” I pointed out.

“And it has to stop” Harry said, sounding as if this conversation was over.

“You’ll never be with a girl like her again. She makes you happy and warm because that’s how I feel when I’m around her” I said.

“Don’t tell me that you like her too!?” Harry shouted and I hushed him.

“Bloody hell Harry, no. I love her like a sister.”

“That’s what Liam said, and look now. He’s all over her and she’s all over him” Harry narrowed his eyes.

“Goodness sakes, she really is just a good friend!!!! I won’t and frankly don’t want to see her that way” I honestly spoke. Sure, Nikki is pretty and great, but I swear on my soul that I don’t like Nikki. I already have someone else in mind back in England...

“I believe you” Harry sighed and I nodded. Harry knows that I wouldn’t lie to him.

“And what’s this about Liam?” I asked. “They just are super close friends, like me and you” I said, nudging him, but he didn’t seem too convinced.
End of Flashback

“At this point, I don’t care who you’re friends with, just don’t get Nikki hurt and stop your mood swings” Anjelica bluntly said and it seemed like everyone agreed.

“I do not have mood swings” Harry protested and we all raised our eyebrows.

“Then why did you suddenly get all mad last night and left with Taylor?” Niall asked, but I’m sure that, like me, he already knew the answer. Harry didn’t seem to know what to say and struggled to form words.

“Alright, end of discussion. I conclude that we all just set this aside and have fun. Also, that if there’s a problem, we can all trust each other and talk about it. Harry, mate, we just want you to be honest with us. It seems like you’re going through something and we just want to help” Liam said, but I felt like this conversation will somehow be brought up again, whether it’s with all of us or just with two people.

“Yeah” Harry said in his non convincing tone.

“Why are you bums still here?” a very faint, sleepy voice said and we all looked over at a groggy Nikki. Her hair was a mess and she was rubbing her eyes with her one functional hand.

“Bums? You could have called us hobos, that sounds nicer” Niall joked.

“Don’t you just look like sleeping beauty” I joined in with Nialls joking. She just sleepily blinked, her bottom lip slightly poking out and her mind too sluggish to get my joke.

“What time is it?” Nikki asked, yawning and stumbling to the kitchen. Liam got up and strode over to her side, helping her in her groggy state.

“2 in the afternoon” Anjelica said loud enough so Nikki could hear her from the kitchen.

“Does that mean it’s too late to have bacon and pancakes?” she asked and Nialls stomach growled loudly.

“Nonsense!!!” Niall replied and eagerly went off into the kitchen. We all chuckled and decided that we better eat.

Nicoles POV
Everyone seemed to brush off the fact that Harry was drunk last night, so I guess that I should just go with the flow. I was still a little upset about what happened, but I pushed it behind for a later talk and focused on the mission of successfully eating. It was strange and a little difficult eating with one hand, especially when you usually eat with your injured hand. I’m amadestrict, so I can do a lot of things with both hands, including eating, but I prefer to do it with my right hand rather than my left. Anjelica had to cut up my pancakes for me and at some point, Liam was feeding food to me.

“I feel like a baby” I pouted as Liam held the food up to my mouth.

“Oh hush” Liam said and told me to open wide. I opened my mouth, but didn’t close it fast enough and food fell out of my mouth like it would when a baby didn’t close it’s mouth.

“That’s because you’re eating like a baby would” Louis laughed and everyone snickered.

“Not funny” I muttered and wiped up the mess with my napkin. After we ate, Anjelica asked the boys if they could watch me while she runs a few errands. I found it strange because Anjelica never goes out for errands without me. I gave her a questioning look, but pretended not to notice.

“Sure, but she would have to come with us back to Simons. He expects us to be home by now” Louis said and Anjelica didn’t seem to care.

“Anjelica, can you help me?” I asked, nodding towards my room. She nodded and followed me. It was true that I did need help, but I also used it as an excuse to talk to her. Once we were safely in my room, I shut the door behind her and put my one good hand on my hip.

“What?” she asked, walking over to my dresser and pulling out some clothes.

“You never go on errands without me” I said, walking up next to her.

“So..?” she said, closing the dresser drawer.

“So, you are not telling me something” I said and she sighed.

“I know that there was going to be no way to hide this from you, but, I’m going job hunting” she said, turning her whole body to face me.

“What? No I sa-”

“You can’t work with that” she said, pointing to my elbow.

“I’ll just upgrade to a cast” I shrugged, not letting her go easily. We already decided that I was going to get a job.

“That won’t do much. The doctor said that you have to take it slow and only allowed to do physical therapy” she said and I frowned.

“But how will yo-”

“It’s fine, kiddo. I can manage school and work” she assured and she got me. I can’t argue with her, I’m not in the mood to. “Now lets get you changed” she said and I nodded. She quickly helped me change, did my hair and packed me a bag with things such as my cell phone and pills. “I’ll drop off Nick and Nikki at your place since you don’t have enough room in your car” Anjelica told Louis.

“Are you mad at Harry?” Nick asked me from the back seat as Anjelica followed Louis to Simon's house.

“Honestly, I am a little and want to talk to him, but I know that it probably won’t get us anywhere and might even cause a bigger problem. If he wants to go do stupid things with that blonde than fine” I said, the last sentence hurting a little.

“Nikki, do you like Harry?” my sister asked and I froze. I didn’t tell my sister about what I felt for Harry and I’m not sure why. I think it’s because I knew that Harry didn’t like me and there was no hope in having a romantic relationship with him.

“I’ll answer for her, yes” Nick said and I shot him a glare through the rearview mirror.

“It’s fine Nikki. I could kind of tell, but I wasn't completely sure. I don’t know why. I mean he’s handsome, but moody” Anjelica smirked and I smacked her arm. Harry is sweet and sexy and fun, what’s there not to like about him? Well, I mean besides the fact that he’s acting weird and a complete jerk at times.

“Well I don’t know why you like Niall” I lied and she blushed. I completely understand why she would like Niall. He’s utterly adorable with his attractive irish accent and blonde-brown hair. Not to mention that he eats a lot like us three.

“I-He’s-um..” my sister stuttered and Nick and I went aww. “shut up” she quickly scowled, but still was blushing. My sister used to have a lot of crushed, but not one liked her, not until Niall came around.

“Nialls a keeper” Nick said and I agreed.

“I know, now get ou-woah” Anjelica said once we pulled up to the big house.

“Nice house, huh?” I said. I was about to open the door, but Liam beat me to it by opening my car door. “Thank you” I smiled at Liam who was blushing, but smiling as well. Liam reached behind me and grabbed my bag from the seat, holding it for me. I looked over and saw Zayn opening the door for Nick and Niall leaning down to talk to Anjelica through her rolled down window.

“I have a lot of errands to run, so I won’t be back for a couple of hours” I heard Anjelica tell Niall.

“Don’t let her out of your sight” I heard her add and I sighed, knowing that she’s going to be a little more protective after what happened.

“No worry, we’ll take good care of her” Zayn said as Liam escorted me to the front door.

“Bye!” I yelled, waving over my shoulder to Anjelica. I walked in through the entryway and walked into the living room where Simon was reading a newspaper.

“Ah, finally care to join me bo-” Simon stopped what he was saying when he looked up and saw my arm. “Oh my!” he exclaimed and set the newspaper aside.

“Hi” I sheepishly waved with my unhurt hand and watched him walk closer to me. “Where the boys too rough?” Simon asked and I was confused as to what he was asking.

“Simon!!” Louis gasped from behind us.

“What?” Simon smirks, but then his smile turns sympathetic. “Aw love, hows your grandmother?” Simon asked and I just puzzle at him. I look over at Louis who smiled nervously and it hit me. Louis “little” white lie was something about my grandmother.

“Oh, not well. She’s still in the hospital” I said, pretending to be sad. My grandmother was actually alive and well as a matter of fact.

“I’m sorry” Simon sincerely smiled and I pretended to tear up. “I’ll go make some tea” he said before turning away and heading toward the kitchen. I heard Louis sigh in relief and we all looked at him.

“My grandmother?” I said and raised my eyes once Simon was out of earshot.

“So much for “little” white lie” Nick chuckled and Louis shrugged.

“I had to come up with something” he said, walking over to the couch.

“But my grandmother” I giggled and shook my head. We all took seats and made ourselves comfortable in the living room, Liam asking like every five seconds if I was okay. Louis, Nick and Zayn were playing FIFA when Simon walked in, balancing tea cups on a tray.

“Thank you” I smiled at Simon as he carefully handed me the cup.

“Can you hold that?” Simon asked and I nodded. “Because if you want, I could get you a little tray so you could set it down on” he said and I shook my head no. Before I could take a sip, Liam bombarded me with questions again.

“Is it too hot? Do you need more sugar? Do you want a smaller cup?” He asked.

“It’s fine” I said, trying not to snap and sound annoyed. I love Liams sweet, caring nature, but he didn’t need to worry so much. It was annoying me right now.

“Need anything to eat?” Niall asked, but I shook my head. “If you need anything, I can go get it” he said and I gave him a pinched smile. Harry slipped behind out of the room behind Simon, leaving Niall to watch Louis and Zayn kick Nicks but at FIFA.

“Ugh! Why can’t I get it right?” Nick complained when he lost for the 5th time.

“Because you’re pressing the wrong button” Zayn chuckled and pointed to a button on a controller. “You’re supposed to press this button” he instructed.

“Ohhh” Nick said, smiling at Zayn. They started playing again and when Nick made a point, Zayn praised him.

“Great job!” he said, patting his shoulder. Nick blushed and thanked him, throwing in a small compliment too.

“I wouldn’t have been able to do without your help” Nick said and Zayn beamed.

“Oh, I let you make a point” Louis said, flipping his hair. Niall snickered and I smiled at all of them. I got up to go put the now empty tea cup in the sink.

“I can do it love. Why don’t you sit down?” Liam sweetly offered, standing up.

“Thanks, but I got it” I said, giving him a forced smile. I don’t like him having to feel like he has to do everything for me.

“I insist” Liam smiled, but I shook my head.

“Nope” I said, walking past him. I was close to snapping at him when I felt his presence walking behind me. I turned around and saw him there. “Liam, stop” I finally said, my voice a little stern.
“Oh..okay” Liam said, his lips twitching down. I sighed and walked into the kitchen. Harry nearly had a heart attack when I walked into the kitchen.

“Call you back” he murmured into his cell phone that was pressed to his ear. He ended his call as I walked over to the sink. I tried not to look over and stare at his messy curls and devious green eyes. I set the teacup in the sink, but Harry came over and stopped me from turning on the water. “No need, I can do it.”

“Gosh, I can do it myself” I growled. I’m not even here for an hour, and everyone is asking me questions. They act as if I can’t do things just because I’m using only one hand. I'm flattered that they all want to help me, but at this point, it's annoying a little bit insulting. I can still do things.

“Woah, sorry. Don’t have to be snappy” Harry said, holding up his hands.

“I’m the one that’s snappy? You’re the one that’s having these crazy mood swings” I shot back, not able to hold back my annoyance.

“I don’t have mood swings” he furrowed his eyebrows and a frown messed up his stunning features.

“Oh really?” I said, glaring at him with a deep frown.

“It only happens around you” he snapped.

“What do you want, more attention?” I said, clenching my free hand.

“I-just-you, arg that’s not it” Harry said and my frown turned into a snarl.


“I don’t get you” I said.

“Good” Harry spat, but his eyes were telling me something different. I instantly softened at the lost look in his eyes and I could practically see his internal struggle. I felt myself wanting to know, wanting to help.

“But I want to” slipped out of my mouth and his eyes widened slightly. I looked down, blushing and ashamed at what I just said. I was always easily won over with his eyes, and it happened again, but there was something more. I just wanted to know.

“I’m sorry....” Harry whispered. I looked up at him a little confused and he ruffled his curly locks sexily. “For your elbow..” Harry continued.

“Apology accepted” I said “But in return, you have to take me out for frozen yogurt” I smirked, trying to lighten up the mood and secretly get alone time with him.

“Why frozen yogurt?” He asked and I giggled at his cute expression.

“Ice cream is over rated” I said and he cocked his head slightly to the side.

“Over rated?” he repeated and I nodded. “Well alright, deal” Harry said, grinning down at me. He looked even hotter with that grin.

Liams POV
“I don’t get you” I heard Nikki say, and my heart sank at her next words “But I want to.” she said.

I pressed myself further against the wall. I know that I shouldn’t be eavesdropping on their conversation, but I couldn’t help but listen when I heard her snap at him. Half of me wanted to give him a lesson, but the other half of me felt bad for Harry. It’s hard liking the same girl that your best mate likes. I looked down at the ground and frowned when I heard them practically setting up a date to go out for frozen yogurt.

“So, who was that on the phone?” Nikki asked.

“My sister, Gemma” Harry said, and I could picture his dimples loud and proud dented in his cheeks.

“Oh yeah that’s right, you have an older sister” Nikki said.

“Yep” Harry said, popping the P.

“That makes you the baby of the family!” Nikki giggled and my heart beated faster at the sound.

“So are you!” Harry pointed out.

“But you have forgotten my younger step brother” Nikki replied.

"Step brother?" Harry asked.

"Father's re-married" she explained.

"I didn't know that" Harry said.

"Well, Styles, they say that you learn new things everyday" she replied and I smiled at her cheekiness.

“Indeed, Frank” Harry said and my smile disappeared. The way he said her name..sounded like admiration. I sipped away from the wall and headed back to the living room. I flopped miserably down on the couch next to Niall.

“Li?” Niall softly asked, slinging his arm around me.

“Not now Nialler, later” I said. Niall nodded and returned watching Zayn and Nick team up on Louis.

“I’m just going to go to the bathroom and cry” Louis said with a funny sad face. We chuckled at his poor sportsmanship.

“Not be mad just because Nick’s got some skills” Zayn said, and Nick straightened up at his compliment. It was cute how Nick and Zayn were close, but it’s obvious that Nick likes Zayn and Zayn wasn’t gay. I started to feel sorry for him, for his situation might have been more troubling than mine. At least in mine, I could have a chance with Nikki.. With Zayn, Nick had no chance. Just as I was not pitying myself anymore, Nikki and Harry walked in together smiling. They looked happy, causing me to sink back into my self pity.
