Layla, a 20 year old Youtuber from Australia decides to move her lifestyle and career overseas to London. Upon moving and settling in with one of her close friends, Talia Mar, she finds herself catching feelings and fighting temptations towards a Br...
(Layla's POV) We had already visited 4 shops before Zoe found her perfect outfit. She picked out a beautiful red dress and red velvet high heels to match. "That is gorgeous, that's definitely you" I hype her up.
"Your turn!" Zoe sits down on the couch out the front if the changing room. "Try the blue one" she rubs her hands together. I roll my eyes and giggle. I close the curtain to the changing room and begin to undress. I slip on a two piece blue dress and admire myself in the mirror.

"You ready?" Zoe shouts. The music in the shop was loud and I could hardly hear her. I open the curtain and give a little twirl.
"What do you think?" I look down at my outfit.
"You have to but that! That's gorgeous!" Zoe puts one hand over her mouth and gasps. "You'll be pulling every guy in the club!" She giggles before realising what she said. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that." She rubs her arm in embarrassment. I pretend it doesn't bother me and move on.
"Let's buy these and get out of here. We need to find a club that you can get into first." I pull Zoe's arm and walk to the counter.
As we pay for our clothes, I think about what Zoe said. Does she think that me and him are done and there's no fixing it? Will everyone think that? Do I think that? "Layla! Let's go" Zoe ushers me over to her. I snap out of my thoughts and follow her around the city. We come across a small club called "Blue Tango". "What about here?" Zoe looks at me.
"Your 17, I don't know if we could get you in anywhere. Do you have a fake ID?" I sigh to her. She rummages through her purse and pulls out an ID. It looks exactly like her real one, but it says she's 19 not 17. "It might work" I shrug my shoulders and walk to the back of the line. There is only 6 people in front of us so we should get in pretty soon.
(Harry's POV)
It's 6:30pm and Megan will be here soon. I have dinner almost finished and I put on some cologne. I keep reminding myself this isn't a date, but it kind of feels like one. I turn the small tv on and let a random channel play in the background. My phone starts dinging rapidly and I check to see what the fuss is about. I have several messages from the boys.
Sidemen Group Chat-
Simon-Harry did you know you were bing filmed?
Ethan-Bog what are you doing mate!
Simon-Does Layla know about this?
JJ-You're an idiot fam!
Harry-What are you all talking about!
Simon-A video of you chatting up a girl and giving her your room number is being shared everywhere.
Ethan-Does Layla know because if not, she'll know very soon
Harry-Fuck, I had no idea I was being filmed.
Josh-Why were you talking to another girl anyways?
Harry-It's not what it looks like I swear, it's a really long story. I'll explain everything when I fly home tomorrow.
I can't believe it. Everyone is going to create rumours and false accusations about this. Layla is going to see that video and think I'm hooking up with random women. "Fuck!" I shout really loud. I throw my phone on my bed and rest my hands behind my head. I have really fucked up this time.
"Harry, I'm here!" I hear a voice outside the door. I open the door and Megan is standing there. "Hey, I know I'm a little early but I hope that's not a problem" she smiles at me.
"Of course not. Come in" I stand beside the door and she walks in. All I want right now is to be alone. Alone with Layla and talk this out before she jumps to any conclusions.
(Layla's POV)
We're at the front of the line and I'm kind of nervous for Zoe's ID. "ID please" A women asks at the door. We both show our ID's and she scans them over for what feels like forever. "Have a lovely time" she hands our ID back and begins to look over the next person. We both shuffle in and squeeze through the crowd to the bar. Zoe walks up and orders a drink. I'm taken back by her confidence. I get served by another bartender and order a cocktail.
"You've got some balls" I laugh at Zoe.
"I have been waiting a while for this" she giggles. We both receive our drinks and take some selfies together. I see a message from Talia pop up on my phone screen. I open messages and she has sent me a link to a video.
Talia-I know your probably having an amazing time in Brisbane, but this video is going viral and I think you should see it.
There is a link to a video and I press it. I see Harry talking to another woman, sharing his hotel room number and they look flirty. They are laughing and sharing flirtatious looks. How fucing could he. We aren't even broken up and he's already chatting up other women. I feel rage and anger. He might have just lost me, for good...
