[ Harry’s Apartment, 11:06pm, Harry’s Room ]

ZAYN: (walks in,quiet) “Harry? Are you in here?”

HARRY: “Uh—yeah I am, hey.”

ZAYN: (turns lights on) “Why are the lights turned off?”

HARRY: (rubs eyes) “Can you turn them off? I just want to look at the stars.”

ZAYN: (smiles, switches lights off, walks to harry, sit’s down beside him) “They sure are pretty.”

HARRY: (breathes out, whisper) “Yeah.”

ZAYN: (smirks) “So…who are you thinking about?”

HARRY: (shakes head, looks at zayn) “What are you talking about? I’m not thinking about anyone…”

ZAYN: “Yes you are. I know that.”

HARRY: “Is that so? Does it seem like i’m thinking about someone, i’m just looking through the stars.” (huffs)

ZAYN: “Whenever you’re near your window at the night look at the stars, I know what goes through your mind. You either think about your mum, someone special.” (nudges harry) “Or it’s either a dream, but when you lay against your bed, it means that you like someone.”

HARRY: (scoffs) “Please, I do none of those or think of anything.”

ZAYN: (shakes head) “Harry, i’ve known you since year 9. I’m pretty sure I know you well.”

HARRY: (angry) “Yeah, whatever.”

ZAYN: “I remember when you told me you liked Nick… it was just like this, except it was three in the morning, same position.” (chuckles) “You said you were looking at the stars, but you were actually thinking about Nick.”

HARRY: “Don’t bring him up Zayn.”

ZAYN: “Why not? Huh? Does it bother you, after you—”

HARRY: (frustrated, loud) “ZAYN!”

ZAYN: “What’s exactly is bothering you Harry? Tell me.” (grabs harry’s hand, looks at him) “Tell me.”

HARRY: “I—well.” (pauses, takes a breath in, shakes head, fixes hair) “It’s nothing, just forget it.”
