Harrys POV
“Hey curls” Taylor purred, wrapping her arm around my waist. I haven’t talked to her much lately, mostly because it just doesn’t feel right. She used to be good at distracting my thoughts from NIkki, but at this point, Taylor just reminds me how much I like being around Nikki. “Haven’t seen you in awhile” Taylor playfully pouted.

“Yeah..” I said, looking around.

“Have you been avoiding me?” Taylor asked.

“N-no” I stuttered, looking down at her. I’ve gotta admit, she looked good. She wore a red, tight dress that hugged her tiny frame and her hair was down in wild waves. But her hips and hair didn’t even compare to Nikki’s.

“Good” Taylor smiled and pressed herself up against me. “I’ve missed you” Taylor said, inching her face closer to mine.

“Mhm..” I hummed, not exactly sure how to respond to that.

“Wanna dance?” Taylor asked, already swaying her hips.

“Uh, sure?” I said, coming out as a question. I started to stiffly shimmy my hips and wave my arms around. Taylor giggled and grabbed my arms.

“You need to loosen up” Taylor giggled and led me through the crowd of people. I spotted a familiar head of curls and strained to look over people. I halted when I saw some guy get all up on her.

“Hey!” I yelled, but not loud enough.

“Harry, what are you doing?” Taylor asked, tugging on my arms. I struggled in her hold and shouted Nikkis name. Liam grabbed Nicole and fled the whole scene.

“Damn it” I cursed under my breath.

“Come on” Taylor said and I let her drag me off to the kitchen. Taylor grabbed a bottle and shoved it in my hands. “Drink up” she said, holding up a beer bottle in her hand. I raised my bottle and took a swig. I haven’t had alcohol, not after what happened to Nikki at the club. I blamed it on the alcohol, but I knew that what happened was because of me making stupid decisions and not taking the time to think things over.

I took another sip and felt my shoulders loosen up. This is what alcohol does to me.

“There you go” Taylor smiled and we both finished off our beers. Taylor grabbed another round and we ended up polishing off 5 more beers. And let me tell you, these weren’t light beers that barely got you buzzed. Theses were some good quality drinking to get drunk beers, especially when you’re downing them drink after drink. With each beer, I could feel myself slipping away from the reality, slipping away from Nikki. With each sip, I could feel my tongue flick, craving more of the bittersweet taste.

Taylor led me back through the crowd of people and got cozy with her girl friends. “Now lets try this again” Taylor smiled and seductively swayed her hips. My body lost control in the pounding beat, thrusting my hips and waving my arms around. Taylor and her friends ganged up on me and grinded on me every which way.

My mind went blank and I didn’t think about Nikki, I just thought about the way I moved my body. I focused on the girls on me and the alcohol pulsing through my veins. Drunk old mind. Taylor whipped her hair around in a way that would make boys go crazy. I flopped my hair around, most likely making ridiculous faces as wiggled around like a madman.

Suddenly, everything felt strange. I felt..like I was being watched. I kept moving my body as I looked around the room. I stopped dancing. Liams chocolate eyes stared into me from across the room. Nikki was stringing him along, looking around the room. Liam gave me a disapproving look, like what I was doing was wrong. But why? He gets to be with Nikki right now and he isn’t taking the advantage of it. I frowned and took a step towards him.

Liam searched my eyes, asking something that I couldn’t understand, but it was something that I don’t think I want to hear, and I may not even have the answer.

Nikki was now on my mind, my priority right now. I should take the chance. I started to sober up a little bit, but not enough. There’s something that I’ve been meaning to try...and I just hope that it won’t be interrupted just like it does when I dream. I slipped through the crowd, taking my eyes off Liam and settling them on Nikki.

“What now?” Taylor asked annoyed, pulling me back in a rough manner. I didn’t even look back at her, I just kept my eyes on Nikki. I kept going forward, basically dragging Taylor with me. Taylor spotted who I was looking at and scoffed. “Nikki? Why do you even bother. It’s obvious that she likes Liam” she said, leaning up to whisper in my ear.

“W-what?” I stuttered, tilting my head down at her.

“Yeah, see? They’re even holding hands” Taylor pointed out. I watched Nikki pull Liam closer to her as she disappeared out of sight. That doesn’t mean anything..no. “She’s just stringing you along. I mean, Liam and Nikki are pretty close. They do a lot together” Taylor said, and now she was the one dragging me along.

I was completely out of it, damn me and my emotional drunk self. I know that I shouldn’t even think twice about what she is saying, but I was too deep in the buzz and slug of the alcohol. Taylor slowly led me up the steps while I mindlessly juggled my thoughts around. She led me down a dark hall, past some couples practically having sex on the wall. She pushed me into what I assumed was a guest bedroom and locked the door behind her. The light was already on when we entered the room, no need to turn it on.

The room had a queen sized bed, a tv, dresser, and a lamp on a night. The room abruptly plummeted into darkness with one flick of the light switch. Taylor turned me around and pressed herself fully on my front side. I instantly tightened up. I take back what I said about her not being able to make me forget about Nikki because right now, Nikki wasn’t in mind.

“I can be better than her” she whispered. Well, I guess I thought too soon. Nikki frowning face came to mind and I thought just how disappointed in me she would be. The only light that was in the room was coming from the half opened window, but that didn’t help me much. My night vision hasn’t kicked in yet, so it was hard to see her.

“Taylor..” I said, backing away, but tripping backwards and flopping onto the bed. Taylor flung herself onto the bed and straddled herself on me. I looked up into her strange bluish-grey eyes, and found no care, just lust. Taylor leaned down and brushed her lips against mine. And I didn’t look away. My mind was now going along with my body. My body enjoyed this, and my drunk mind was telling me “who cares? Nikki would never do this with you!”

The sound of the door handle caused Taylor to groan in frustration and spring off me.

Liams POV
I can’t believe that Harry has the nerve to go off and shimmy his little hips with Taylor. I don’t understand him. It’s obvious that he likes Nikki, but yet he still makes no effort to get with her. And at the same time he’s jealous and snappy at me.

Of course we are back to good terms, but that doesn’t change the fact that I like Nikki. I like her, and I’m an idiot for it. I’m an idiot for it because I don’t know what to do or say that will make her like me back. She wouldn’t even believe Harry when he said right in her face that I like her. That’s what sad. It’s sad that she doesn’t believe that I like her..but is that because she might be insecure? Is that because she might like me back?

I can’t take that chance. I can’t chance kissing her, it might make things awkward. I mean, she might push me away and not be my best friend anymore. But it’s so hard. It’s oh so hard. I know that Niall is going to kiss Anjelica on midnight, and that’s just what I want to do. It sounds so perfect.

“I’m thirsty” Nikki mumbled as she pulled me closer to her. I took one last glance at Harry. He looked like he was about to march over here and grab ahold of Nikki and take her away from me.

“Let’s go to the kitchen. I’m sure that there is some water there” I said, keeping a close eye on her as we weaved through the crowd to get to the kitchen. We stepped over bottles and cups, making our way into the kitchen.

“Excuse me?” Nikki asked some random guy.

“Hmm?” he hummed in response, looking down at her.

“Do you know where there is water?” she asked.

“Why don’t you check upstairs” he said rather sarcastically, smirking lopsidedly at her.

“Hmm, weird place for there to be water, thanks!” she replied, squeezing my hand and turning around. I shook my head and face palmed. Oh Nikki. The guy looked utterly confused as he watched her escort me towards the stairs. He thought that his sarcasm could get him somewhere, but to both his and I disappointment, Nikki doesn’t get sarcasm very well.

“Nikki, I’m pretty sure that he was joking” I said halfway up the stairs.

“Actually, I figured. But when I thought about it, I wanted to take a look around up here” she said. Oh, well I guess that she does get sarcasm.

“Oh, okay” I said. I held Nikkis hand as we practically ran past the couples dry humping each other in the hallway. She grabbed onto a door handle on our right and jimmied it, but it was locked.

“Hmm” Nikki shrugged and let go of my hand to yank on the handle with both handles.

“It’s locked, love” I chuckled and placed my hands on her shoulders.

“Off to the next door” Nikki smiled and took a few steps to another door on our right. She opened the door and walked in, not bothering to look back at me to see if I was following her. I jumped back when the door that was just locked, flew open, revealing a hormonal Taylor. At first she looked pissed, but when she looked up and down my body, she smirked.

“I don’t mind a three way” she said, twirling a strand of her blonde hair with her manicured fingers. I looked at her in disgust, why would she ask that?

“It better be with a girl” Harry huskily spoke, appearing behind her.

“Harry!?” I yelped in shock and had to rub my eyes to keep them from falling out of my head.

“Liam?” Sorry babe, but I’m not gay” Harry said to Taylor.

“Harry! What are you doing?!” I whisper screamed. I don’t want Nikki hearing us and coming over to check out what’s going on. I have a feeling that this will upset her. On the other note, what the hell is he doing!?!?! Fooling around with Taylor!!! Doesn’t he like Nikki!!!!?? I don’t understand why he is doing this!

“Why are you whispering?” he asked, and I could tell by the redness of his eyes that he had been drinking. That partially explains why he was doing this.

“I should be the one asking questions!! What are you doing with.. her!?” I whispered screamed, pointing to Taylor.

“Oh honey, we haven’t done anything, yet” Taylor sloppily smiled.

“COUNTDOWN STARTING 1 MINUTE!!!” Someone shouted downstairs and Nikki was quickly at my side.

“Come on Li- Harry?” Nikki asked, her shoulders slumping when her eyes landed on Harry and Taylor.

“Lets go” I said, pulling her down the hall and down the steps. I couldn’t help but feel a sour feeling of jealousy in the bottom of my stomach, and I didn’t like it. I never get jealous, never. Harry and Taylor were right behind us as we walked down the steps. The four of us slipped in the back of the living room. I caught Nialls eyes and gave him a small smile. Now was his chance to shine, to kiss his beloved girlfriend. But me? Probably kiss my own hand.

“8, 7, 6” everyone counted down. I looked at Nikki, and she was looking at Harry, who was looking at Taylor.

“1” I mumbled and looked down to the ground, but snapped it back up seconds later when I heard Nikki gasp. Harry scooped Taylor up and kissed her. They were full on snogging. The look on Nikki’s face was awful. Her face was twisted, but I couldn’t tell if it was in anger or annoyance. Nikki full on face me, grabbed my face and kissed me. She kissed me hard.

At first I didn’t register what was happening, but when I felt her lips moving less forcefully against mine, I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her back. I kissed her with all I had. Her hands cupped my cheeks and my hands tangled in her hair. Her soft lips was surely the best thing I’ve ever tasted. I wanted more of her when she detached from me. Her eyes were wide and she was panting. I couldn’t wipe the smile from my face and I reached out to pull her into another kiss. Nikki took a step back and took a horrifying glance at Harry.

He wasn’t sucking faces with Taylor anymore. He was standing there, fists balled up and fuming.

“What have you done?” He asked, burning her with his eyes.

“I..I..” Nikki stuttered.

“Who goes and does that?” Harry asked. He wasn’t drunk anymore. Suddenly, Nikki snapped and fumed back at Harry.

“I could say the same to you!!!” she said, jabbing her finger at a dazed Taylor. I’m guessing that she was still high off the kiss.

“But at least she isn’t your friend!!” Harry hissed. My heart was beating faster and faster. A nervous sweat started breaking out on my skin and it was like I wasn’t smiling just seconds ago. I looked around and saw Nick and Zayn staring at us, jaws dropped and eyes popping.

“Ugh!!” Nikki yelled in frustration and ran out. Now I know the look on her face. She was hurt. She likes Harry. My chest burst.

Nicks POV
Did I really see what I just saw? Nikki kissed Liam, full on sucked his face!!! That was her first kiss..to a guy that she doesn’t have any romantic feelings for. Nikki ran out into the harsh winter weather.

“Where are you going!?” Harry screeched and took off after her. Zayn and I exchanged a quick glance and then took off after both of them.

“NO, I can’t do this!” Nikki yelled on Nates front lawn. Rain started to fall, adding to the drama taking fold.

“What do you mean you ‘can’t do this’?” Harry snapped rudely.

“I mean, I can’t take you and Taylor!” she yelled, stomping off farther down Nates front yard.

“Don’t stomp away from me!” Harry yelled, stomping after her.

“Harry!” Niall yelled, running up out from the house. Liam trailed behind with Anjelica. Anjelica was rubbing his back soothingly, frowning at her sister off in the distance. Harry grabbed Nikkis hurt arm roughly and Nikki yelped in pain.

“Hey!” Zayn yelled from beside me. Harry quickly snapped his hand back, but didn’t soften the menacing look on his face.

“What are you? JEALOUS!?” Harry screamed in her face. By now it was full on raining and Nikki was crying. I couldn’t take it. Harry obviously can’t see what he does to her. I marched over to them and stepped in between Harry and Nikki.

“Stop!” I yelled in his face, water dripping off both of our faces.

“Why? So she can go run back to Liam?! I don’t know she doesn’t just come out and tell her that she likes him” Harry glared. If he wasn’t being such a jerk right now, he would look really sexy with his wet, tight clothes and wet, curly hair.

“He doesn’t even like me” Nikki protested.

“You don’t know that” Liam blurted out, then cringed and slapped himself. Everyone except Niall stared at him in shock.

“SEE!?!” Harry shouted, throwing his arms up in the air.

“Oh no..” I whispered. This is not good, not good at all. Harry and Nikki are the ones that like each other. Liam’s just the little puppy strung along, lost with puppy love.

“Liam..” Nikki cried. “I had no idea...I’m so sorry..” she choked. Liam shook his head, and surprisingly didn’t look mad. Anjelica hugged him to her side in a supportive way and I couldn’t tell if she was mad at Nikki or what. Zayn just fearfully looked at me, like he was afraid Harry was going to go a few rounds with me.

“GO TO HIM!” Harry shouted, flinging his arms and almost knocking me over.

“I CAN’T!!!” Nikki screamed back.

“GUYS STOP!!” Louis yelled, rushing out of the house and it was the first time I’ve seen him all night. Louis has made so many friends here tonight that I haven’t even gotten a chance to talk to him, or even see him for that matter.

“NO!” Harry snapped at Louis and shrugged off Nialls hand on his shoulder. “WHY NOT!?!” He yelled.

“BECAUSE I LIKE YOU!!!!” Nikki screamed out, like she was in agony. Harry froze and blinked a few times. Everyone was quiet, too speechless to feel the stinging, cold rain pounding on us.

“You..” Harry whispered. Louis ran over to Nikki and hugged her, hugged her like she just lost a loved one. “I don’t..”

“Don’t what Harry? Don’t like her? Because it’s pretty obvious that you like her” I said, sizing him up. He hurt Nikki, and he had no right to just explode. He brought this on himself.

“I never said that!!!” Harry growled, towering over me.

“Man, back up” Zayn said, pulling Harry back a bit.

“Ugh!!” Harry yelled in frustration and pushed back Zayn. He just marched off down the sidewalk, not turning back.

“Hey! Come back!” I yelled. The pouring rain made it hard to see him as he walked off. This just..it’s so much. I fell to my knees. I felt useless, everything felt lost. “You’re supposed to make up” I said, squishing the soggy grass between my fingers. I felt something drape over my shoulders and Zayn kneeled in front of me. I looked at my shoulders and saw Zayns leather jacket covering them, keeping out the cold rain. I looked up into Zayns eyes, desperate for closure. His black hair clung to his forehead and he was soaked, but he looked as good as ever.

“Let’s go home” Zayn said, rubbing my soaked hair.
