*SCARLETT'S POV*

It was my fifth day staying at Harry's. It was early hours in the morning and I'd been waiting for his skype call. He'd arrived in America now and we'd been skyping frequently. I'd been trying to persuade Anne that I was fine now and I would be able to return home, but she had insisted that I'd stay as she refused to believe me. She also told me she saw bits of Harry in me, which I thought was adorable. She admitted that it was reassuring me being there because I reminded her of him and, he called more to talk apparently.

*INCOMING SKYPE CALL
HARRY STYLES*

"Hey babe." Harry greeted, tints of blue surrounding his perfectly green orbs as they lit up when meeting mine.

"Hi Harry." I grinned, my body tingled whenever I spoke to him.

"How are you?"

"I'm great, you? How's the tour going, your first gigs tomorrow night for you isn't it?" I questioned, intrigued on how being famous actually was.

"I'm good thanks, Scar. I miss you, though. We all do. Yeah it is, wish me luck." he chuckled nervously. It was cute how he was still anxious about performing even though he'd been doing it for like 2 years.

"I miss you lot too," I grinned. "good luck, not that you'll need it. You're all amazing. You with the other guys now?" harry nodded rather enthusiastically. "Will you all sing for me?" I pleaded, I love their voices combined. I adored them individually too, but when they all blended together it was truly heart warming.

"Ugh, Scarlett. We need to save our voices." he winked.

"Well, it's 1 in the morning here and I've been waiting about 2 hours for your skype call, so I think you owe me one." I returned the wink. He rolled his eyes jokily.

"Fine." He went off camera for a second to get the boys and returned. They all slumped themselves on one of the double beds.

"No ones heard this song yet, Scar. It's our newest one." Liam said. The others were waving at me with huge smiles, showing their beautifully straightened teeth. They started to sing.

"Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain
I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days
She told me in the morning she don't feel the same about us in her bones
Seems to me that when I die these words will be written on my stone"

---

"The story of my life
I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm
And time... is frozen
The story of my life
I give her hope
I spend her love
Until she's broke
Inside
The story of my life"

"Oh my god guys, I love it." I felt so privileged to be one of the first people to hear it. I was even holding back tears, it hit me with such emotion.

"Scar babe, you crying?" Harry chuckled huskily.

"No," I sniffed. "that was amazing, your vocals are ridiculous." I grinned.

"They would be better if you were here." Harry blushed, as did I.

"So are you guys back together you crazy love birds? What's the sitch here?" Niall asked. Awkward. Harry and I hadn't spoken about it yet. We didn't really know what we were, we just knew we loved each other.

"E-er..." I stammered. Harry stared down at the carpet in his luxury hotel room.

"We haven't discussed it yet," Harry answered sharply. I nodded in agreement. "actually, could you give us a second?" he asked, directing to the other members. They accepted it and exited, leaving us alone. There was an awkward silence for about 30 seconds before I decided to open my mouth.

"H-Harry, we don't have to talk about this now. It's early in the morning for me and you've got a lot of stress about the concert that's tomorrow night for you." They were 6 hours behind, if I haven't already pointed that out.

"I think we should." he mumbled.

"Our minds aren't thinking properly, we should talk about this tomorrow yeah? About the same time?" he nodded.

"I just need to know you love me, Scarlett." I didn't mind when people called me Scarlett. It was my real name after all, but when Harry called me it, it seemed to sound so bitter and blunt. I didn't like it.

"Of course I do, more and more each day." Harry nodded.

"You too." he replied. I still wasn't sure he was happy with my answer but before I could say anything more, Niall interrupted.

"Sorry, but I needed to catch Scarlett before she went to sleep."

"Have her." Harry sounded like we'd just had an argument, when in fact we'd told each other that we loved them. I was confused, but I had to listen to what Niall wanted anyway. Harry just walked out. Well, out the view of the camera anyway. I assumed he'd gone to join Liam, Zayn and Lou.

"What is it Niall?" I asked, trying my best to sound polite rather than sour.

"You and Danielle." this got my attention, immediately.

"What about us?" I snapped, what was he after?

"You've fell out, I'm sorry about that. She was way too harsh, I've tried to get her too apologise bu-"

"WHAT? How do you know about this?!" I interrupted.

"We've been texting and meeting up ever since our double date." he admitted, biting his lip.

"Why would she splash all her feelings on to you. She told me she didn't even like you when we went to the bathroom!" I shouted, I didn't know what I was more mad about, the fact she had been lying to me or the fact she was bitching about me to someone she would never have met if it wasn't for me. I suddenly noticed what I said. I evaluated Niall's face expression. He looked hurt, upset. "I'm sorry Niall, I didn't mean that. She does like you I'm sure..." I trailed off.

"It's okay," he was trying to act like it didn't affect him, but I could tell. He was easy to read though I respected him for being brave. "I think you should get your snooze on now, Scarlett. It's late for you." he forced these words out.

"Try early," I laughed, trying to lighten the mood. "Alright, Niall. I'm sorry, good night."

*END OF SKYPE CALL*

*NIALLS POV*

I had to get the truth out of Dani, before she hurted me along with Scar. I didn't care what time it was in England, I needed an honest answer. Now. It took me about 7 tries before she eventually picked up.

"Niall, hun. It's half 2, remember the time difference you dick." she picked up, using a soft jokey voice.

"I just had a pleasant conversation with Scarlett." I spat, sarcastically.

"What did that bitch want?" her voiced twisted from soft to harsh.

"She very politely informed me that you told her you didn't like me at our double date. You told me that you couldn't keep your eyes off me. You told me you instantly felt a spark there. Chemistry in fact. A connection. Why would you lie?!" I was hurt, but I sounded stern.

"Oh and you believe everything Scar fucking Jones tells you then. Over me?" she raised her voice. She wasn't hurt she was pissed. Plain pissed. She didn't like me. It was all dishonesty. She just wanted me for my money. Another hoe. I genuinely thought she was into me, probably because Scarlett was such a lovely person. Dani was her best friend so surely she'd be as pure as Scarlett was?

"If it wasn't for her I would even know you." I answered.

"Fine then. Why don't you go and bum off Scar with the rest of One Direction. You prick." it was so painful to hear her shout at me. Insult me like I didn't have feelings.

"K." I replied stubbornly. I then hung up the phone.

*DANIELLE'S POV*

What a cunt. Believes whatever my former best friend says. She didn't deserve that much attention, she was't even that pretty. Just a slut that wears far too much make up. My phone buzzed. Oh. It was Scarlett, even though I had renamed her ID to 'That Bitch I Used To Know.'
