Bella’s POV

“To Harry!”, Niall cheers before downing another shot of liquid something. Everyone’s over for a huge party Harry’s throwing to celebrate his role for Dunkirk. Well, Harry didn’t really want to have a huge party but Louis and I convinced him into doing it. The doctors finally cleared me to be able to drink! I’ve celebrated a bit, but Niall’s clearly the most drunk.

“Hey, Bells”, Harry comes back to my side, his eyes slightly glazed over from the party’s celebration. I smile up to him. “You wanna meet some of my friends?”

“Sure!”, my friends always told me I was the “Energinic Drunk”. Harry’s told me stories from when I forgot. He says I’m wild and crazy, maybe he’s just a “Boring Drunk”?

“Bella, meet my friends Michael, Calum, Luke, and…. Where’s Ashton?”, Harry leads me to three guys, they look about our age, kinda cute but I can never tell Harry I think that.

“Last I saw he was talking with some blonde”, the one with colored hair says, his name is Michael I believe.

“Oh well, we’ll see him later I’m sure. Anyways, guys meet my beautiful girlfriend Bella.”, maybe Harry’s a “Flirty Drunk”.

“It’s lovely to see you again Bella!”, I’m like 90% sure the guy saying that is Calum. He doesn’t seem drunk enough for this party. But that last part where he says “again”, stumbles me. What do I say to that?

“It’s good to see you!”, that works? I think? I don’t know, I’ve had too much to drink I can’t think clearly.

“These guys are in a band too, Bells. 5 Seconds of Summer.”, Harry pulls me closer to him, if that’s even possible. I look up to Harry as if to remind him, I don’t remember these people and I don’t know their band.

“Here Bell-Bell!”, Louis and Niall show up with another drink for me. Liam’s been with Dani all night, I’ve barely seen either of them.

“Where’s El?”, I ask Louis as I take a sip of the drink he brought me. I don’t know what it is, but it’s strong and I like it.

“Last I checked she was talking with Dani and Liam, I think”, Louis answers.

All the guys started some conversation about tours and being on break and all that I think. I like being at parties, I get to people watch. There are so many people here that I just don’t know. Maybe I knew them once before the accident, but I definitely don’t remember who they are now.

“Hey babe, I’m gonna go get another drink. You want anything else?”, Harry looks down at me. Those eyes will forever mesmerize me.

“No thanks love”, I smile back to him. He kisses my head before unwrapping his arm from around my waist and walking towards the kitchen to where the drinks are. I don’t like being without him and this conversation is getting boring. I don’t know anything about whatever tour they’re talking about.

So I guess I can keep people watching? There’s a girl by the stairs wearing a skin tight black dress about the size of a hand towel. She’s obviously flirting with some redhead guy that I don’t remember ever meeting before and he’s not interested at all. He looks kind but also kinda high and he didn’t put too much effort into his outfit unlike the girl flirting with him. She touches his arm as he looks anywhere but at her. His eyes pan slowly over to our little group. He turns back to the girl and smiles politely before walking over us. I dart my eyes back to my drink hoping he doesn’t notice the fact that I was watching him and the girl this entire time.

“Ed!!” Niall exclaims as the redhead comes over to us. Redhead’s name is Ed.

“Neil! How are you lads doing? Bella! How are you?”, Ed says as he pulls me into a side hug.

Shoot he knows me. He must be one of Harry’s friends. Maybe from his childhood? “I’m very well, how are you?”

A familiar hand reaches the small of my back. I turn around to see none other than Harry smiling back at me. “Bella, this is my friend Ed Sheeran. He’s a singer too.”

“Oh shit I forgot!”, Ed looks at Harry, then me quickly, then back to Harry. He forgot about the accident and the fact that I don’t remember a lot of my life. “Yeah, I’m Ed.” he puts his hand out with a smile.

I shake his hand, “It’s great to meet you again.” I think my words are slurring now as the alcohol begins to really kick in. Ed laughs a bit and the other guys look amused as I talk. “Louis, what’s in this drink?” I’m definitely slurring now.

“It’s your favorite!”, Niall, who’s on the other side of me, swings his arm around my shoulders. I have no idea what he’s talking about, this is not my favorite drink. I think he’s had too many of his own favorite drinks. “C’mon let’s go dance!” He pulls me away from Harry, Louis, Calum, Luke, Ashton, and Ed. I look back to Harry and wink as he shakes his head at Niall and I.

The music’s blasting loudly in the living room, which is where we’re making this makeshift dance floor. On the couch I see Liam, Dani, and Eleanor. “Guys come dance with us!”, I yell as I sit on Dani’s lap surprising her.

“Geez, what have you had to drink Bells?”, Liam says holding his ear that I just yelled in.

“Oh, how I love drunk Bella!”, Dani says wrapping her arms around me.

“Let’s dance babes!”, I grab Eleanor and Dani’s hand in an attempt to pull them up off the couch, “You too Lime! We’re all dancing!”

“Did you just call me Lime?”, Liam says laughing.

“Yes because you’re not coming to dance with me”, I pout.

“Fine, fine, Bella we’re coming.”, Dani stands, “And Lime’s coming too.”

“Good! Let’s get going!”
