Harry's POV

"Harry are you coming?" Louis asks as he knocks on my bedroom door. I was supposed to be going to watch Liam, I was also supposed to ask Louise if she'd come along. But I just can't do it, not tonight. I think some alone time is what I need, I have to sort my bloody head out.

"Harry?" Louis asks again as he slowly opens my door. I look up from my bed and watch him walk in. He looks smart, he always does when he goes out. "Do you want to come along?" He asks and I shake my head.

"I'm going to have some time in tonight." I say as Louis slowly nods. "Have a good night." I say and Liam appears behind him.

"You going to be alright?" Liam asks and I smile, I've never met someone as caring as this guy.

"Yes I'll be fine. Cheers.." I smile once more and they both say goodbye. Louis salutes to me as he closes the door after them. My smile soon drops and I pick my phone up.

I go back on to twitter and I look at the photo once more. Stephanie looks so hot dressed up as cat woman. It annoys me so much that she isn't mine, she's Niall's. Niall, it makes no sense, I get on well with him and I thought he was a good guy. He most probably is but I'm still a bit pissed at the idea of them together. I stumble on Stephanie's twitter, she's not posted anything in ages. There is however, a picture of the photo her Mum gave to me when I stayed with them. I'd do anything to just step back in time and prevent losing Stephanie.

My phone makes me jump as I receive a text message. I quickly come out of twitter and open the new text. It's from Louise.

Hey, so I have a free house. Would you like to come over for dinner? Xx

Dinner? At Louise's house? I really don't know what to say. Part of me says I should go and enjoy some of her company, but the other half is telling me to stay her and wallow in self pity. I do like Louise, she's a nice girl and I feel good when I'm around her. I bite my bottom lip as I try to decide.

Dinner would be great! What's your address?X

Well there's no backing out now. I've done the right thing. Haven't I? I suppose I better start getting ready.

Stephanie's POV

"Here we go!" Niall says as he carries a tray of drinks over. I thank him as I take my glass and take the first sip, the smooth liquid taste nicer than thought it would.

"Vip lounge is awesome. But I think we should invite some guys" Chloe grins as she nudges Lucy, who is now nodding in agreement.

"And girls." Jed says as he looks at them. I leave them to discuss who they want to invite as I sit next to Niall. He puts his arm around me and pulls me closer to him.

"You are such a beautiful girl, and that outfit looks so good on you." Niall whispers into my ear and I blush at his words. I'm not used to him talking to me like this. I turn to him and kiss his cheek, he turns his head and his lips meet mine. I let myself fall into the kiss. I feel his hand slowly stroke my leg and I try not to let it distract me. I gently pull back from him and I smile.

I look over to the people who the others have invited. Jed's talking to a group of girls as Chloe and Lucy are talking to a few guys. Jed starts cheering as he hugs a guy who I can't really see. I look back to Niall.

"Shall I get another round?" He asks as he finishes his drink and I quickly finish mine.

"I'll come with you.." I say as I stand up.

"Steph come here!" Jed shouts and I try to indicate to him that I'll be five minutes, but he continues to wave me over. I look to Niall explaining I'll be with him in a few minutes. He nods as I walk over to Jed who's currently got his arm around someone.

"Steph, this is Zayn! Sam's cousin." Jed says as he smiles to me. I look to the handsome guy who's hair is far more stylish than mine. I smile.

"Nice to meet you Steph." Zayn smiles as he politely leans forward and kisses my cheek.

"You too" I say back as we step apart. Jed starts to ramble on about how Zayn is a graphic designer. Apparently he's 'sick' at art, so Jed says.

"What do you do Steph?" Zayn asks and I quickly explain how I work on a Saturday and I go to college. Zayn nods politely.

"Right mate, let's get you a drink!" Jed says as he guides Zayn towards the bar. Zayn quickly says bye as he walks with Jed towards the bar.

"Who's that with your brother?" Chloe asks as she approaches me. I look at her and smile at her curiosity.

"His name's Zayn." I answer and Chloe smiles. I shake my head as I know Zayn is now her target as he's exactly her type.

Harry's POV

"Thanks for coming. I just thought it would be nice to see you again." Louise says shyly as she looks away smiling.

"Thanks for inviting me, it's good to see you." I say with a smile. It's sweet Louise has made the effort to cook for someone she doesn't even know.

She looks nice tonight, her hair is curled and her make up is lovely. Her bright red lipstick stands out to me and it does make me want to kiss her.
But I also know I shouldn't be here, my mind's not really in the right state. I just thought Louise's company would cheer me up. As lovely as she is, I think I just need to start a new day.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Louise asks, I can't lie as I know with her profession she will straight through me.

"I've had a bit of a bad day. I'm sorry if I'm giving off a negative vibe." I answer and Louise smiles and shakes her head.

"Don't be sorry, we all have bad days. There's no negative vibe." She says as she leans forward and looks at me. "I really like your company Harry. I know we've only just met, but there's something about you" She adds as her cheeks turn a shade of red.

"Thanks, I like your company too. I'd like to take you out for dinner next time? My treat." I smile as I look into her deep brown eyes. She smiles as she nods. I know there aren't many girls like Louise so I think I should just try and relax a little bit more.

"So can I ask how a guy like you is single?" Louise asks and I really wish she didn't ask me that. I shrug it off and I clear my throat.

"I moved here, so my ex stayed in Manchester. I've known her for years but it's a little complicated." I say and Louise looks at me sympathetically. "What about you? How are you single? " I ask as I divert us away from the subject of Stephanie and I.

"I was going out with a guy for three years, but we just grew apart. It ended on goodish terms." She answers and I nod feeling a little jealous that even Steph and I couldn't be on good terms.

"That's good, it's horrible when there's bad feelings" I say and Louise nods. I look down as it suddenly feels a little awkward talking about our ex partners.

"Sorry to change the conversation but would you like some more wine?" She asks and I'm glad she's changed the subject. I sigh in relief,

"Yes, I'd love some more." I smile as she leans forward and pours more wine into my glass.

Stephanie's POV

Why have I drank so much? What happened to not going mad? I mentally told myself I wouldn't do this to myself. Tomorrow I am really going to suffer.
Niall takes my hand as he guides me out of the club, we danced a little bit earlier and I remember it got a little too steamy. Jed couldn't even look in our direction as it was that bad. Since dancing, Niall hasn't let me go once.

I don't know where we are going now. But Zayn has joined the group and Chloe is all over him. He doesn't seem to mind too much though.

"Another club!" Jed says as he points at a club that's opposite from us. Lucy shakes her head as she guides us down the street. I rest my head on Niall's shoulder as I stumble along. The best thing about being so drunk is it blocks out the cold.

"Where are we going?" Chloe shouts to Lucy who doesn't answer. Niall laughs as Lucy continues to march us to her destination.

We must all look such a state now, a bunch of young drunks roaming through the streets of London. I don't mind though, I quite like the cold fresh air.

"London Eye!" Chloe and Lucy both shout over excitedly as they try to run towards it.Zayn and Jed run after them as Niall tries to hurry me up.

I stop as the big wheel infront of me makes me feel nauseous. We can't be here, why have they brought me here? This isn't good, I don't feel good. I watch the others quickly pay to get on and they turn to Niall and I.

"Come on Steph." Niall grins as he gently pulls me on as he pays the guy. We are all together and I know this isn't where I want to be right now.

All I can think of is Harry. Harry, Harry,bloody Harry. I quickly dart to the door and I bang rapidly on it begging the guy to let me off. He quickly opens the door and I dive out. He quickly closes it again as the others start to shout at me, I quickly run away from the wheel trying to get it out of my sight.

I stop at a bench as I feel my chest starting to tighten up. Too many feelings have flooded back inside of me. I can't relive that memory of Harry and I. Maybe I'm not as strong as I thought I was.
i feel my eyes start to sting but I can't let them fall, I promised myself I wouldn't cry over him again. I can't believe this has happened tonight. Everything was going so well. Just by being here it doesn't feel right, I feel like half of me is missing. I hate this feeling of being so bloody vulnerable.

I take my phone out of my pocket and I go through my notes. I remember I saved Harry's address when he moved here, I didn't want to save it but my heart told me to keep it. I quickly look up and I start to run towards the taxi bank. Luckily it's not too far as I find a spare taxi waiting.

"Are you free?" I ask him as he unwinds his window. He nods and I jump I'm the back. He looks back at me and give him the address. What am I doing?

Notes

I've had a really hectic day and I'm sorry this Chapter is late.
I hope you all like it :)
Please let me know what you think.

Do you think it's a good idea Stephanie's going to Harry's?
And Is it her heart taking over or her drunken mind?
