Harry's POV

"Harry, why aren't you on your date?" Liam asks as he walks into the living room and sits on the other sofa. I look over to him.

"Louise was called in to work, I found out she's a Therapist and one of her clients had to urgently see her." I say and Liam's eyes widen. I smile as it's quite impressive isn't it knowing someone who's that intelligent to help people.

"So if you ever go a bit loopy, we know who to turn too." Liam suggests and I playfully roll my eyes.

"Remind me why I play football for the shittest team?!" Louis snaps as he walks in and slumps down next to me. Liam and I both look at him, he's obviously lost today.

"Going to explain?" Liam asks and Louis looks at him. He starts to rant about how awful his team is and how he's thinking of playing for another club. I listen lightly as this isn't the first time we've heard Louis talk like this.

"They just don't have any idea, honestly my Gran can kick a ball better than them lot." Louis adds and Liam shakes his head laughing. I look at Louis and smile, it's hard to take him serious when he's getting angry at football.

"How's Ali?" I ask changing the subject. Louis looks to me a little puzzled and simply shrugs.

"Okay I think, haven't seen her." Louis says as he looks away. I knew that would be the case, Louis always looks in the wrong places and ends up with the wrong type of girls. Ali is the sort of girl who's up for a good laugh but I could never imagine settling done with her, or Louis in that matter.

"She was a nice girl.." Liam says a little warily and Louis shrugs. "I guess she didn't win you over completely." Liam sighs.

"She was alright, I mean I was drunk and I was having fun. But we both knew we didn't want anything from it." Louis answers and I look away. I look down at my phone and I log into facebook. Oddly, Amy appears on my timeline. She's uploaded a photo of her and some guy who she tags as 'her baby'. I quickly scroll down away from her.

"It's a shame we can't find the right girl.." Liam says and I look up at him,

"I don't mind at the moment mate, she'll turn up at some point." Louis says and I nod in agreement with him. Like they say, that someone will come along when you least expect them too.

"I don't mind being single, but I also wouldn't mind having a girlfriend. Just can't seem to find someone I like in return or vice versa." Liam says.

"I don't know why, your a good guy Liam." I answer and he looks to me and smiles. "Honestly, so many people know from the moment they first meet you that they can imagine you being a decent and loyal boyfriend. My sister said it straight away about you.." I add and Liam's face lights up.

"Well now I feel a little bit better, cheers Styles." Liam grins and looks to the TV, Louis looks at me and smiles.

"And what did your sister say about me?" Louis asks as he waits for a compliment. I roll my eyes and smirk.

"She said you were a little bit odd." I answer and Louis frowns.

"You sure you haven't got Liam and I mixed up?" Louis asks and I shake my head. "Odd? Me? Doesn't sound right at all." He says as he looks away and the conversation falls silent. I smile to myself as Louis is pretty easy to wind up.

"Can we order some food I am starving." Liam says breaking the few seconds of silence. He looks at me and then to Louis. I nod and Louis happily agrees with his suggestion.

Stephanie's POV

I think I've packed everything for the trip. My bloody cat woman outfit is in the case, I can't believe we have to dress up. Oh well, it should be fun.

"Hey.." My bedroom door opens and Mum walks in, I look at her and smile. "I just wondered what time you're getting picked up in the morning?" She asks as she looks at me smiling.

"About half seven I think.." I answer a little unimpressed, I hate getting up that early.

"Have you let work know?" She asks and I nod. Mum always has to check now as lately I've not been attending college. I've just lost interest in performing arts, it just doesn't seem to be for me anymore. But the thing is I don't know what I'd want to do.

"Okay." She says as she walks to the door. She stops and looks at me. "Your Dad and I can pick you up anytime, you know that right?" She asks.

I nod as they've already had this talk with me, worrying about how I will feel once I'm in London because Harry is there. She nods back and leaves my room. They still like Harry, my Dad is extremely fond of him as he tried to explain Harry has done the right thing. I know my Dad is right, but I didn't want to admit the right thing for Harry involved being without me. It wasn't fair to admit it to myself.

I scan my room one more time and I am pretty sure I haven't forgot anything. I start to change in to my pyjamas and get myself ready for bed. I think it's wise getting an early night as I need all the sleep I can get for the weekend. I don't bother removing my make up as I only put mascara on today.

I climb into my bed and I stare at the dark ceiling. It's going to be good seeing my brother tomorrow, I've not seen him in a while. At least we know the area pretty well, and Harry lives on the other side of London to Jed. So there's such little risk in bumping into him. I close my eyes and I try not to think about anything, I eventually start to drift off.

Harry's POV

"I'm stuffed, can't eat anything else." Louis says as he slouches down into the sofa and holds his stomach. I know how he feels, when we order Chinese food, we always order far too much. Liam and I both sink into our chairs as we too have over eaten once again.

"So what's happening this weekend?" I ask as I don't have a clue what plans they have. "I'm not working.." I add as it's good I always get my weekends off, it's very rare that Mark will call me in on a Saturday.

"I am tomorrow, I've got a gig in the evening." Liam answers and I nod. I'll most likely go along to his gig. Louis shrugs as he explains he has nothing on. "You can both come along if you want? You know the drill." Liam adds.

"Yeah cool." I say as I look to the TV. Nothing decent seems to be on and because I am so full all I want to do is sleep. "Think I'm going to get an early night.." I say as I stand up. Liam and Louis both look at me a little puzzled.

"It's only nine o'clock.." Louis says and I nod as I walk to the door. "Night night." He adds and Liam joins in.

"Night!" I say as I leave and head to my room. Maybe I can ask Louise if she's up for going to Liam's gig with me tomorrow. I won't text her now as she's at work but I will ask her tomorrow morning. I quickly get undressed and I leave my clothes in a small pile on the floor, they need to be washed anyway, and I remain in my boxers.

I head to the bathroom and do the same night time routine. Use the bathroom, clean my teeth and rinse with a mouthwash. It's pretty simple to be honest, just a little over repetitive.
Once my routine is complete, I turn my phone on to silent and I climb in to my bed. I pull the duvet over me as the bed sheets are so cold, I know I'll warm up in a minute. I'll distract myself from the coldness.

I wonder how Louise is getting on with her client. Why is she working until late though? As a therapist she shouldn't be doing late nights surely? Hmm. I wonder what Mum and Gemma have been up to recently and Dad, I'll have to call everyone and make sure they're all alright.
I close my eyes as I continue to think about random things, why is it when I get in bed my mind decides to think about everything and anything. Just switch off Harry and get some sleep.

Stephanie's POV

"Good morning!!" Lucy beams as I open the front door. I smile at her enthusiasm, she's lucky it's her birthday as I hate mornings.

"Happy birthday!" I say quietly as I give her a hug. I look past her shoulder to see Chloe and Niall in the car, I wave over. "Okay give me two secs!" I say as I quickly run into the kitchen and I grab a pen and a loose bit of paper. I write a note to my parents:

Left for London, text you when I get there!
See you Sunday!
Steph x

I quietly leave and grab my bag and my coat, trying my best not to wake my parents up. I close the front door and wheel my bag to the boot of Chloe's car.

"Hi guys!" I smile as I open the boot and I peer through the small gap. Niall is in the back seat, looks like I'm sitting with him and I can't complain. I lift my bag in and carefully shut the boot. I open the car door and sit down, closing it behind me.

"Hey" Niall smiles as I look at him, a smile on my face. Now I'm excited to go to London especially as we are all together.

"Ready for London?" Chloe asks as she turns to look at me smiling.

"Oh yes!" I answer with a smile. She turns back around and we pull out of my drive. Lucy puts the radio on and turns it up quite loud. I look to Niall as Lucy and Chloe start singing over loudly, it's far too early for this. Niall shakes his head and looks at me.

"Thank god we're in the back!" Niall says loud enough for me to hear. I laugh and nod as I'm happy being back here with Niall. He reaches over and strokes my hand, I look down at his fingers and glance back up to him.

"Thank god you're here with me, I'd be pulling my hair out stuck with these two." I joke and Niall laughs. Chloe and Lucy both continue singing as they are oblivious to Niall and I's conversation.

"I'm updating twitter. Warning London we are on the way" Niall says as he holds his phone in his spare hand and looks at the screen. He looks up at me and smiles. "Come here, selfie!" He laughs and I try to lean as closely to him as I can. He holds his phone and we both smile to the camera "Done." He says as I sit back up right. I smile as I watch him type.

"What you two up to back there?" Chloe smirks as she glances back. I smile as Niall tells her iit's for twitter, he starts taking photos of Chloe and Lucy.
I look back out the window, listening to the unknown song that fills my ears. I try not to let the flashbacks take over but I just can't seem to get them out of my head.



"It's good we have our own hotel room." I say as I look at Harry. He glances to me and winks. I laugh as I shake my head and look away. "You and that dirty mind.." I smirk.

"You make me think this way, it's what you do to me." He answers as he looks back at the road.

"Well I think we should slow down Harry.. We're being a little reckless." I say and he looks at me again and laughs as he thinks I'm joking, my serious face confirms I'm not

"What's there to slow down? We are two people in a relationship who are having sex.." Harry answers and he looks at me. He quickly looks back at the road.

"I guess." I answer and the conversation falls quiet. He turns the radio on and plays the mixed cd in the background.

Harry's POV

"You cheated!" I shout as I point at the TV. Louis shakes his head laughing.

"Admit it Styles, I kicked your butt." Louis says as he put the PlayStation controller down. I roll my eyes as he always wins when we play FIFA.

"Only because the ref was on your side." I sigh as I put my controller down next to his. I sit back making myself more comfortable on the sofa. He looks to me and smirks.

"Ali uploaded pictures of the other night of us on twitter. I retweeted one of you and Louise." Louis winks and I had no idea. I smirk curiously and I get my phone out my pocket. I get twitter and wait for it to load up.

"I'm supposed to ask Louise is she's free tonight." I say out loud as I still haven't text her yet.

I go to Louis twitter and I see the photos he's retweeted. The one of Louise and I is nice as it's so natural, the way we are looking at each other in deep conversation, having no idea Ali has taken the picture. I notice a few people have favourited it, including Louise. So I favourite it too.

I go back to my notification page and I see Niall's tweeted. I smile as I read:

On our way to London for Lucy's birthday! Beware London, we aren't far... :)

Attached is a photo, so I curiously click on the link and my heart nearly stops. It's Niall and Stephanie together in a photo. Stephanie. The way she's smiling, how beautiful she looks. Fuck. I quickly place my phone down and Louis looks at me.

"What's up? You've gone pale!" Louis laughs. I look at him and I slowly shake my head. She can't be coming to London, I don't know how I feel about us being in the same city. "Harry.." Louis says a little concerned.

"It's Stephanie. She's on her way to London!" I gulp as Louis' jaw drops. I look away as my head starts to spin out of control with my inner thoughts. "I need to see her!" I say as I quickly come to life. I have to see Stephanie and make sure she's okay. I just need to see her.

"Harry, don't.." Louis says carefully and I shake my head, brushing him off. "It will only make things worse. You've closed that chapter now, don't reopen it." He adds.

"I need to speak to Jed, she will end up seeing him. I'm sure of it. Fuck man.." I sigh as I run a hand through my hair. Louis quickly stands up In front of me.

"If you're going to see her then at least wait, let her get to London first. Don't just jump in there, give it time." Louis says as he places his hands on my shoulders. I look at him and I bite my lip.

"But I don't know how long she's here for, I can't wait too long." I say and Louis sighs and steps back.

"Give it a couple of hours at least, then go and see her." Louis says and I look at him and nod. He's right, I will wait and then see her. I know for sure I can't just let her come to London without seeing her. Shit.

Notes

I'm so excited for Harry and Stephanie to meet.
Harry hasn't even took into account that things are not going to be like they used too.
He's in for a shock when he finally see's Stephanie again,.
