(A/N: First off, I'M SO SORRY IT HAS TAKEN ME THIS LONG TO UPDATE. I HOPE YOU DON'T HATE ME. I'VE BEEN CRAZY BUSY LATELY. SECOND, I know they are touring with 5 Seconds of Summer, as I have reminded you all before this is completely made up in my mind. I've decided to have them tour with the group Midnight Red in this story. (Take Me Home by Midnight Red is almost constantly stuck in my head lol.)Sorry if that doesn't float your boat, but it does mine. I hope you Enjoy this chapter regardless!)



"Are you sure you're not coming out?" Harry asked from the bathroom.

"Yes, I'm positive."

"Babe you're only in Dublin once."

"I'm sure we can come back." I shrugged. "I just don't feel good, I have l pounding headache.

"Do you want me to stay here?"

"Go out Harry. I'm fine! This hotel has like 400 channels, I'll be good for a few hours."

He emerged from inside the bathroom looking more stunning than ever.

"Why do you have to look so good when I'm not gonna be there?" I pouted.

"You can still come."

"No, go have fun."

"I love you."

Harry kissed my head and headed out the door. I wanted to go out and experience Dublin with Harry but I just didn't feel well. I figured my headache was just from traveling and attending the concerts. I was also warn down and exhausted. I needed a break. I had done enough partying in London to last a while.

After a few good hours of flicking through the channels and unsuccessfully finding anything to keep my attention, I decided to head down to the bar located in the hotel. Cool thing about Ireland other than everything else? The drinking age is 18. I didn’t have to worry about getting caught or use my fake. I took a seat at the main bar. The bartender quickly noticed me, coming over.

“What can I get ya?” he smiled politely.

“7 and 7 please.” I smiled back, watching as he turned around to make the drink. I wasn’t much of a girly girl when it came to drinks. I liked it hard and heavy. I liked whiskey, probably too much.

“This one’s on the house!” the bartender grinned happily.

“Are you sure?”

“Beautiful lass drinking alone at the bar? Something has got you down, and I tend solve it.” He said, eyes meeting mine.

“Actually, I’m perfect.” I smiled. “Just needed a night alone.”

“Yeah? Now why would ya want that in this beautiful city! I reckon your on vacation by the accent.”

“Ha.” I scoffed. “Vacation.”

“Not for pleasure then, business?”

“I mean, sort of.” I said vaguely not wanting to get into it.

“Well business or pleasure this is a lovely town. Ya should make the most of it.”

“I’m sure I will. Just didn’t feel up to it tonight.”

“Well, I am a local, I could show ya around after I get off. Or tomorrow if you’d like.” He smirked that smirk I knew all too well coming from guy. “I’m Callahan by the way.”

“Spencer.” I nodded politely, shaking his extended hand.

“What a gorgeous name for a lovely gal.” he was really laying on the flirting. I wasn’t uncomfortable yet, but I was getting there. I knew how to deal with scumbags, but I couldn’t figure out if he was one or not yet. Maybe he was truly being a gentleman. “So why didn’t you go out tonight? Dublin always has something going on.”

“I just have a headache really.”

“Or no one to go out with?” he eyed me.

“No, I’m here with people, they’re out right now. I just honestly didn’t feel like going on. Nothing else.” I didn’t mind the small talk but I didn’t need him thinking he had me figured out.

“So where are you from anyways?” he questioned. Damn this bar for being nearly empty.

“New York.”

“Like the city? Wonderful place, I’ve been!” he got excited.

“Yeah the city.”

“What brings you to charming Dublin?”

“I came with my boyfriend, he has work here.” I didn’t feel like explaining I was a girlfriend to a famous popstar. No one would believe it anyways.

“The boyfriend eh?” he smirked again. “Think he would mind me showing ya what’s really great about Dublin?”

“Yeah mate, I think he would.” I heard another Irish accent from behind me, this one though I recognized instantly. I felt a protective arm wrap around my shoulders and a slight kiss on my cheek. “Ready to go love?”

“You the boyfriend then?” the bartender asked.

“Yeah man, sorry ya can’t have this one.” His grip tightened on my shoulders.

“Wait, are you Niall Horan?” suddenly Callahans face lit up.

Niall nodded quickly. I finished off my very strong drink and stood.

“Man, I’m sorry mate, wouldn’t have…”

“Ya would have regardless of who’s girl she was.” He shook his head. “Come on Spencer, let’s go.”

He wrapped his hand around mine and we headed out of the bar. We walked to the elevators in silence. Once we got inside the lift, I broke it.

“Niall, how’d you know I needed saved from that douche?” I laughed.

“Zayn, Lou and I came back to the room. Zayn scored some sick bud. We just wanted to smoke and not worry about getting caught. I was coming into the bar to grab a few bottle of liquor and saw you. Ya looked rather disgusted.” He smiled down at me.

“Thanks, I was. But um, you can let go now. I think I’m safe.” I giggled awkwardly at our hands which were still intertwined.

“Oops, sorry.” His laugh just as awkward.

“Hey, are we like okay?” I asked as we stepped out of the elevator into the hall.

“What do ya mean?

“Like after everything that happened, we haven’t really had time to talk or anything.” I shrugged as we stopped outside Zayns door.

“Spencer, we’re okay. Don’t worry about anything at all. You’re still just as great of a friend now as you were before everything went down.”

“I just don’t want it to be weird with me dating Harry now and we have to see each other all the time.”

“Listen, everything is fine. I would have let that bartender have his way if I didn’t care, right?”

“I mean I guess. But I just had to make sure. Is everything okay, between you and Harry I mean?”

“It’s awkward here and there, but yeah. Everything between us is okay. Stop worrying you’re pretty little head. You’ll wrinkle.”

“Thanks a lot.” I said, sticking my tongue out. I began to walk towards the room Harry and I were sharing here.

“Where ya going love?” Niall asked from behind me.

“To my room?”

“You’re not coming to hang out with us?”

“I wouldn’t want to intrude or anything.”

“Spencer, you’re part of this family now. It doesn’t matter if Harry is here or not. We want you around just as much as that bloke does. We all love you. Come and enjoy you’re night.” He smiled genuinely. “Besides, Harry mentioned something about you having a headache. We have the perfect medication for that.” He motioned towards the door.

“Fine, but if at any point you want me to leave. Say the words.”

“Noted.” He laughed before knocking. The door flew open and we headed in.

“Spencer! We’re so glad you’re here.” Louis shouted from the bed.

“Lou’s pissed out of his mind, just so you know.” Niall whispered in my ear. “And Zayn is probably blazed.”

“Hey guys!” I waved.

“Ready to go out with Zayn then?” Louis asked. “Niall where’s the booze?”

“I’ll order it mate. We had an issue at the bar.”

While Niall ordered room service, Louis and I headed towards the balcony.

“Come hit this. It’ll make your pain and worries disappear.” Zayn gestured to the bowl he held, as soon as I walked out.

“Okay.” I sat down next to Louis on the patio couch.

Taking the piece to my mouth I covered the choke. Lighting it I inhaled, just as I had done before with the guys. It was smooth. Zayn was right. I couple more rips of this and I wouldn’t have a problem left.

“Alright guys, ordered a few bottles.” Niall said joining us again.

“Why didn’t you just get them at the bar like we planned? Then no one would know we ordered them.” Zayn questioned.

“The douchebag bartender was hitting on Spencer trying to get her to go out with him. She looked miserable, so I just worried about getting her out of there.” He shrugged.

“You bloody Irishmen.” Louis laughed. “Always horny.”

“Like you lot aren’t?” Niall shot back as I took the piece back from Zayn.

“We just know to win the women over, not freak them out.” Louis retorted.

“Oh my god you guys are terrible.” I rolled my eyes.

“What, you mean to tell me you’ve never tried to take a guy home just cause you wanted a shag?” Zayn asked.

“I mean who hasn’t?” I chuckled.

“Niall.” Louis added. “Oh wait, he did. It was you!”

Even though it was still a touchy subject, we all burst out into laughter. The guys were drunk, or high, maybe even twisted in Zayns case, and I was feeling good. Niall rolled his eyes as we heard someone knock on the door. He got up, leaving us out on the porch.

“Sorry to bring that up.” Louis looked at me.

I shrugged, really indifferent about the whole situation at this point.

“You know how in love Harry is with you?” Zayn randomly blurted out. “He said you guys talked about marriage the other day.”

“If talking about marriage is me going ‘don’t think we’re getting married anytime soon’, then yes we talked about marriage.” I giggled, taking another hit as Louis passed it.

“What even brought that up?” Zayn asked, as Niall reappeared with bottles of whiskey, rum and some pop.

“We were at his Uncles and someone said something about ‘better start planning the wedding’. I couldn’t help but laugh and Harry, well he seemed like it was something he had actually considered.”

“That’s mental, you’ve been together what? Like 6 months?” Louis added as I nodded yes. “I’ve been together with Em for a year now and I’m not even ready for that.”

“Liam and Rachel have been together for like ever. They aren’t even getting married.” I laughed.

“I wouldn’t be too sure about that.” Niall whispered.

“What do you mean?” I asked shocked.

“Way to go you git. You tell one of her best friends that he’s been considering proposing.” Louis added.

“I never said that. I just said I wouldn’t be too sure they aren’t getting married. Now you’ve gone and told her.”

“Wait, Liam is going to propose?!” I practically squealed.

“Well he had been thinking about for some time now, probably right when we moved to New York at the beginning of the year he asked us what we thought.” Niall started.

“Yeah and after last week when she told him about the scare she had, he truly started to consider it. He’s been looking at rings online and everything.” Zayn shrugged.

“But don’t go blabbing you’re mouth now.” Louis tacked on the end.

“I promise! I won’t! That’s so exciting!” I couldn’t stop smiling. “Look at them all happy and getting married, and you and Emily are in a great relationship! Now what about you two? Ever going to get a damn girlfriend?” I joked towards Zayn and Niall.

“Hey!” Niall shouted in defense. “I’m working on it!”

“What’s your excuse?” I snickered at Zayn.

He shrugged like he always does. “Kasi is single now right? She’s fit. Might have a go with her.”

“Don’t even think about it.” I warned. I wasn’t having her get her heart broken again. I may have been closest with Zayn after Harry, but I knew he had some tendencies I didn’t like. With her so fresh off a breakup and her huge crush on Zayn, nothing good could come from that.

“What? She fancies me right?”

“Yeah but she just got dumped! I don’t need her heart broken again!”

“Who says I’ll break it?”

“Zayn come on mate. That’s her best bird. Don’t go screwing it up.” Louis stated.

“Why does everyone think I’m such a shit guy?” he rolled his eyes.

“Dude we just know what you’re into and relationships aren’t it.” Niall joined in.

Zayn just shrugged again, as if it was no big deal his friends had just insulted him.

“I’m gonna miss you guys when I leave in a few days.” I frowned.

“Don’t get all sappy on us McMichael.” Louis laughed.

“But after tomorrows show and your last day in Ireland, I won’t see you until like September as a whole!”

“You’ll see Harry though, that’s all you really need.”

“I can’t do shit like this with Harry.”

“Fuck Harry, get high if you want.” Zayn laughed.

“That’s not the point Zayn!” I said. “I’m just gonna miss you guys.”

“We’re going to miss ya too Spenc, don’t worry.” Niall smiled while Zayn and Lou agreed.



-------------------

After another hour and one more bowl, Harry had called and said the rest of them were on their way back. We said our goodbyes and headed to our designated rooms. I was fast asleep when Harry stumbled into our room.

“Fuck.” He mumbled as he tried to tiptoe around the bed, catching his foot on the corner.

“Babe it’s okay, I’m up.”

“Shit, did I wake you?”

“It’s fine. Just get in bed. I’m cold.”

“I’m passed blitzed babe. Sorry.”

“Don’t worry.”

“What did you do tonight, love?” he asked after sliding into bed next to me.

“I went to the bar tonight. The bartender was hitting on me and Niall actually saved me.”

“What? How?”

“He just said I was with him and the bartender backed off.”

“Nialls a good guy.” He mumbled into my hair. “What else?”

“I smoked a little with Zayn, Louis and Niall.”

“Niall smoked?”

“No, just drank but he was there. And after that I just came in here and fell asleep.”

“Sounds like a good night. Did you headache go away?”

“Yeah, it did.”

He kissed my head, “Good. I hate it when you’re in pain and I can’t do anything.”

“How was your night?”

“Fucking wild. The guys from Midnight Red came out with us. Even Rachel was hammered.” He laughed.

“Must have been good then.”

“Dublin is always nuts.” He snuggled in closer as he yawned.

“Tired babe?”

“So drunk really.”

“I never would have guessed.”

“Oh hush miss sassy pants. Like you aren’t stoned.”

“Not anymore.”

“Well nevermind then.” He rolled away from me.

“Why’d you roll away?”

“You don’t wanna have sex I bet now.”

“Why, cause you’re drunk?”

“Yeah and you’re not.”

“So?”

“I don’t know.”

“Harry, do you want to do it?”

“I mean yeah.”

“Can you even get it up?”

“HEY! Wait, good question. Why don’t you see?” I could make out the slight smirk he wore with the moonlight shining through the open window.

“You cheeky bastard.” I smiled as I pushed myself on top of him.

“I love you.”

“And I love you.”

Notes

HEY! Sorry it took me so damn long to update. I was struggling with writing this chapter. I think I'm going to skip ahead a bunch to avoid a lot of filler chapters, if everyone is cool with that. Let me know! I won't skip anything major or something like that. Don't worry. Just need to get the story going. I know where I want it to end up.

Anyways, I'll be out of town until May 1st. I'm going to visit some friends at the college I used to go to. It's going to be so fun! I'm taking my computer out with me so hopefully I'll be able to post you some chapters! I apologize if they are slower for the next two weeks. But I promise I will post a few!

So I hope you enjoyed this chapter. It just kind of was to explain where every one was at this current moment. I want to give you greater back stories to the secondary characters and this was to establish that in a little. I also like to show how Spencer is with the rest of the guys!

Let me know what you thought! Thanks for being patient! xx

You're all so great! :)
