--Niall’s POV—

“Abby, wake up. Everyone is waitin’ for us to join them for breakfast,” I said as I shook Abby awake.

“Go away,” she grumbled.

“I know you’re hungry, c’mon,” I said to her as I pulled the blankets off of her.

“Niall Horan, you give those back!” Abby yelled as she turned over and grabbed the blankets out of my hand.

“What’s your problem?” I asked her as I sat on the edge of her bed.

“I’m having an ugly day, so let me just sit in our room and sit in my ugliness,” she stubbornly said from underneath the covers.

“You aren’t ugly,” I told her

“Niall, go away. You’re pissing me off,” she said and I quickly stood up and walked towards the door.

“Want me to bring you back something?” I called out before I walked out into the hall.

“Yes please!” I heard Abby yell before I shut the door.

Once I got to the lobby I went straight to the dining area and found the rest of the boys and girls.

“’Ello mates!” I greeted them as I sat down next to Harry and started flipping through the menu.

“Where’s Abby?” Danielle asked and I quickly looked up at her.

“She says she’s having an ugly day so she just wants to sit in her ugliness,” I told her and the girls all gave each other a knowing look.

“An ugly day?” Zayn said aloud and I just nodded at him. “What in the bloody hell is an ugly day?”

“It’s a girl thing, sweetie,” Perrie told him while patting his arm. I saw Harry pull his phone out of his pocket from the corner of my eye and I just knew who he was going to text. I’m sure he thinks she’s having a bad because of the news management told him. He has to pretend to date Taylor until the first of the year and then they can go their separate ways.

Once we all finished breakfast I quickly ordered Abby a standard American breakfast and a cup of tea with all her normal fixings. All of us were walking towards the lift when we saw Harry head for the back exit of the hotel.

“Where ya goin’ mate?” I called out after him.

“Huh? Oh, I need to go get some things from the store,” he said before he was out of ear shot for us to question him further.

--Harry’s POV—

Abby was having an ugly day and I definitely remember a few of these from when we were first together. During breakfast I sent her a text saying she was beautiful and she just simply replied telling me to fuck off. But, I knew just what would make her feel better, so after breakfast with the lads I went to the closest grocery store. Once I arrived at the grocery store I immediately went to the ice cream section to buy some Half Baked and then walked to the candy aisle to get her favorites, and then went to check out.

“It’s a little early for ice cream isn’t it?” The cashier asked me as she rung up my items.

“A friend is having a bad start today,” I told her and she immediately looked up at me and her eyes got really wide when she realized who I was.

“Yeah, of course. We all have them,” she said as I paid for my purchases and she bagged my items. I smiled at her and then walked back to the hotel. It was weird going from the hotel, to the store then back to the hotel without a crowd of screaming girls and paps surrounding me. I walked into the hotel and went straight to the lift and pressed the button for floor six. I walked up to room 620, the room I left at 5 o’clock this morning so Paul would walk into me sleeping in my room and not me missing. I quickly knocked on the door and waited for someone, Niall, to come open it, which he did a few moments later.

“Sorry you had to wait lad, I was in the bathroom and Abby wouldn’t get up to answer it,” he said as he pulled the door open wider to let me in.

“I could have told you that,” I said to him as I walked past him.

“Get up,” I sternly told Abby as I stood in front of her bed.

“No.”

“Abigail Emilia Grimes, get up,” I told her and she peaked her head out from under the covers to look at me.

“Go away,” she said and went back under the covers. I threw the bag close to her head and she quickly poked her head back out and looked into the bag. I, then, turned around and walked over to her and Niall’s collection of movies and pulled out ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ and slipped it into the DVD player.

“You know me too well,” Abby said with a mouthful of ice cream and gummy worms. I just laughed at her and went to sit next to her on her bed.

“I’ve experienced a few of your ugly days, in case you forgot,” I told her as I pressed a kiss to her temple. “Ready to get rid of your reds?” I asked and she smiled at me while nodding her head.

--Abby’s POV—

‘Breakfast At Tiffany’s’ just ended and I was wiping away my tears, because that movie always got to me. Paul tried so hard to understand Holly, and he loved her but she just loved for money and Paul wasn’t good enough for her in the end because she escaped to Argentina. A large part of me felt like Holly Golightly because she ran from her problems, which I feel like is something I do. I wasn’t happy in California so I move to Ohio, then I’m not satisfied with Ohio so I pack up and move to London, a place that I was happy in. Except the difference between Holly and I is that I’ve accepted the love from someone who tries so hard to prove his love for me, and I love him.

“Stop crying, love,” Harry said as he wiped away the last of my tears.

“That movie just gets to me!” I told him with laughter in my voice.

“It’s a beautiful love story,” Niall said from his spot on his bed and when I looked over at him he had a few tear stains on his face.

“Aw, come here Niall, let me hug you and comfort you,” I told him and he got up and ran over to my empty side and hugged me.

“This is so weird,” Harry said before throwing his arms over both of us and pulling us into his chest. I quickly pulled my camera up on my phone and took and picture of us three smiling at the camera before posting it to Twitter.

@AbbyEGrimes: Got a case of the reds so these 2 boys fixed it with junk food & Breakfast at Tiffany's. #bestieswithtestes @Harry_Styles @NiallOfficial (:

I posted it and each of the boys went and retweeted it.

“So what now?” I asked them while I put my phone up.

“What time is it?” Harry asked from his spot beside me.

“It’s almost noon.”

“Shit!” He exclaimed as he stood up and pulled his shoes on.

“What?” Niall asked as he still sat cuddled up to me.

“I’m supposed to pick Taylor up from the airport,” Harry said as he tripped over his feet and walked towards the door.

“Great, back to having my ugly day,” I said and buried myself under the covers again.

“That’s it? That’s why you’re having an ugly day?” Harry asked, and I could tell he was closer now, because his voice was extra loud.

“Go pick up your pretend girlfriend.”

“That’s what today is all about? Because Taylor gets back?” He asked and I felt the mattress dip, and I could only assume Harry sat down on the edge of it.

“Go be fake happy with your fake girlfriend already!” I yelled from underneath the covers.

“I’m gonna come right back to you, Abby,” Harry said, lowering his voice.

“Are you sure you don’t have to go put an act on with her?” I sarcastically said. I knew I was being stubborn but the love of my life is in a pretend relationship all while I sit here on the side and watch it happen.

“I want to show you off, Abby. I want the world to know we’re together again, but I can’t right now. All I can do is show the world you’re my best friend, because you are. You’re my best friend and the love of my life. But right now, we have to wait until I can show everyone just what you are to me, which is my soul mate. You need to get through one more month and then we can go out in public holding hands, shoving sweets in each other’s faces like we used to do every Sunday, and sneak in kisses while walking around London,” Harry preached and I slowly brought my face out from under the covers to look at him. “It’s hard for me too, Abby. To be in this fake relationship because I see how it hurts you and I never want you to be hurting. But just hang in there with me, yeah?”

“I’m trying it’s just really hard, okay?” I told him while a tear slipped down my face. I felt Niall shove his hand in my hair and begin to play with it.

“I don’t mean to interrupt, but you two can get through anything. You two have hit a lot of dead end paths along the way to the top of mountain, but you always manage to get right back on track. This is just another dead end,” Niall said and both Harry and I busted out in laughter.

“That was so corny, Nialler!” Harry said as he held his stomach.

“I hate you guys!” Niall whined before throwing his arms over his chest.

“I love you, Niall. It’s just seeing you serious is a rare occurrence,” I told him as I ruffled his hair.

“I know, I know.” Niall said as he got up and went to lay on his bed, and I pouted at him. “I still love you, Abs,” he said, replacing his pout with a smile.

“Good!” I exclaimed.

“I have to go,” Harry whispered to me and my smile fell. I simply just nodded my head at him. “You could always come with me?”

“No. You better go, I’ll just hang around with Niall,” I told him while placing my hand on his cheek. He nodded his head while leaning into my touch.

“You’re beautiful. So stop having your ugly day, because I love you,” Harry said before placing a passionate kiss on my lips.

“I’ll stop being mopey. You’d better go though,” I told him with a small smile on my face.

“No I love you?” He pouted and it caused me to giggle at him.

“I love you, Harold!” I yelled before pressing a kiss to his lips. He smiled at me before getting up and walking out of the door. I flipped on to my side so I could face Niall, who ended up doing the same.

“What do you wanna do until you have to go to rehearsals?” I asked him as we stared at one another.

“Eat,” he simply stated.

“I hear you on that one. Wanna go find a hole in the wall restaurant?” I asked him and he nodded his head. I quickly stood up and grabbed some clothes before entering the bathroom. I changed into a pair of leggings, an oversized navy blue t-shirt, a crème colored cardigan and then I pulled on a pair of brown combat boots. I brushed my teeth, brushed my hair, applied some deodorant and then walked out of the bathroom.

“Ready?” I asked Niall as I picked my bag up off the ground and wrapped my maroon scarf, that my Gran knitted me, around my neck. Niall nodded his head and we both head out of the room and to the elevator. We walked around the streets looking for a place, barely making any conversation, when I decided it was too quiet.

“You okay, Ni? You’re awful quiet,” I said as I looked at him.

“I just—Charlotte and I are dating,” Niall blurted out and my eyes got super wide.

“Are you serious?! I knew it!” I yelled and he just looked down at me with a confused expression.

“You aren’t mad?” He asked.

“Are you kidding me? Of course not! I’ve been rooting for you two to get together for the longest time,” I told him as I pulled him into a side hug.

“We wanted to wait to tell you when you were in a more stable state. But seeing you be so happy with Harry these past few days it made me feel really guilty that I couldn’t tell my best friend I’m dating her other best friend. We wanted to tell you together,” Niall informed me and I just smiled at him.

“I’m glad you told me,” I smiled up at him and he smiled back down at me. “So how long have you two been dating then?”

“We started dating a few days after my birthday,” he mumbled and my mouth fell open.

“That’s almost two months!” I exclaimed and he nodded his head. “I’m happy for you guys.”

“That’s all we ask from you,” he said. We continued to walk the streets of New York looking for a place to eat when my phone started to ring, it was Harry.

“Hello?” I said as I answered the phone.

”Where are you?”

“Grabbing a bite to eat with Niall, why?” I asked him and Niall scrunched his eyebrows together as he looked at me. I simply mouthed Harry’s name and Niall nodded in understanding.

”I’m back at the hotel, wanted to see you.”

“You’re with Taylor.”

”I know, but I wanna see my best friend.” Harry whined and I couldn’t help but smile.

“You’ll see me tonight at the concert,” I told him and I heard him groan on the other end.

”Fine. Tell Niall I said he’d better look out for you. I love you!” Harry said before hanging up the phone.

“What’d Harry want?” Niall asked as we stepped into a nice sandwich shop.

“He’s back from the airport and wanted to hang out,” I told him as we both took our seats in the corner of the place.

“Wanna know what I think?” Niall said as he handed me a menu and we both started to look over it.

“What’s that, Niall?” I said with amusement in my voice.

“I think you two should tell Taylor, that way she’s informed of what’s to come. You know?” Niall said and I started to think it over in my head, he did have a point. “I don’t think it’s very fair for her to be left out in the dust of a pretty big thing.”

“I agree with you,” I told him while nodding my head. “I’ll have to talk to Harry about it.”

“Text him right now,” Niall said as he set the menu down. “And hurry up on deciding what you want because I already know.” I rolled my eyes and quickly picked the avocado BLT with a side of sweet potato fries and macaroni, accompanied with water. Niall got up with our orders and took it up to the counter where he paid and grabbed our drinks. I pulled my phone out and went to Harry and I’s conversation.

Niall and I have been talking and we think it’d be a good idea to inform Taylor that you and I are back together. Also inform her of the whole after the first of the year thing. Xx I sent the message and then pocketed my phone.

“You tell him?” Niall asked and I nodded my head. Just then I felt my phone vibrate. I brought up the message and read it.

Should I tell her? Or should we do it together? I read it aloud so Niall could give his input.

“I think he should do it, and do it now. That way it’s over with and you and Harry can be all lovey dovey tonight after the show,” Niall said and I couldn’t help but laugh at him.

You tell her. Good luck, XXXXX (: I sent the message and the put my phone up just as our food had arrived.

“Let’s dig in, shall we?” Niall said as he clapped his hands together.

“Yes!” I said as I picked up my sandwich and took a big bite out of it.

Things were really looking up for me right now. My two best friends are dating and I’m back together with Harry, my soul mate.

Notes

I IS ON A ROLLLLLL.
