"And here we have the one and only Lila Grace whom I have bonded with so much whilst washing the stickiness off her legs and unpacking." Eleanor announces, walking with me in livingroom where the boys and Perrie wait. I laugh uneasily. I had forgotten to wash my legs after spilling wine and didn't really notice it. Eleanor and I did bond though and she knows all about Beau. I thought what happened in Australia stayed in Australia? Too late.

"Um... Stickiness?" Zayn questions and I blush. I'm wearing a tight, red, one-shoulder dress and black flats. I can't exactly walk in heels.

"Don't worry about that." Eleanor says, laughing with me. She's wearing a pretty black floral dress and Perrie is wearing a pink silk dress. The boys all seem to be wearing neutral colors. It's only a club. It's my first time 'clubbing' and I'm kind of nervous.

Everyone starts mingling and I just stand there, waiting for Harry to come over, but he seems to be having a conversation with Perrie, so I take my phone out. I see lots of texts from Beau and walk into the kitchen. The only light being given is the bottom of the counters, which have lights built in. I lean on a post and check the messages, mostly him saying he's sorry, though I'm not sure what for. But some others say he misses me. I miss him too, but I can't go on. I set my phone on the counter and look at my feet. "Hey, you okay?" I'm startled by the sound of Liam's voice and turn, plastering on that smile.

"Yeah, just texting my brother." I say and he walks completely in the kitchen. "You got a haircut." I state, pointing out his buzz-cut to change the subject.

"Yeah! You like?" I nod. "I'm trying to be a bit rebelious." He says and I smile, shaking my head.

"Good luck getting your fans to believe that. You've pretty much sealed the title 'Innocent Little Liam'." I say, smiling. He nods, biting his lip.

"I realize that." He says and there's a pause. "So, how do you like London?" He asks. I shrug, looking around the kitchen.

"I haven't really seen much except the airport and this flat." I say and he laughs. "I'll most likely do my sight-seeing once school starts." I say and he nods understandingly.

"When do you start?"

"Next week."

"Nice." Another awkward pause.

"Hey guys, we're going." Harry says, walking in and nudging us out of the kitchen. I go in Louis' car with him, Harry and Eleanor. Harry and I are in the backseat and there isn't much talking on the way to the club. Some small talk about school and Australia and the weather, but other than that it's awkwardly quiet.

"Don't leave me." I say to Harry, holding his arm as we walk into the club.

"Of course." He says and smiles, not letting me go.

"You're so drunk, stop!" I say to Harry as he tries to feel up my body in the back seat of Louis' car. I can't help but laugh at his goofy face. We're just about back to our flat. Eleanor's staying over tonight and neither of us drank, so she's driving. The hangovers tomorrow should be great.

"Lilaaaa, you're sooooo beautifullll..." Harry says, nearly passing out on my lap. I giggle, pushing on him and making him sit up. I feel the car turn and see we're back at the flat. I don't bother helping Harry inside as he's already bolted inside and I help Eleanor help Louis instead. Once the two are settled, I get my phone off the kitchen counter and walk down the hall, knocking on Harry's bedroom door. I open it when there's no response and see there's no one inside. Confused, I shut the door and turn to see Harry right in my face. I gasp, hands flying to my mouth and start laughing.
