Song For This Chapter:

Rock Bottom-Hailee Steinfeld

"We're on the right side of rock bottom
Into you, I just keep crawling
You're the best kind of bad something
'Cause we keep on coming back for more"

Darlene's POV:

"What do you think Niall and Maya got up to?" I question as we make our way back to our hotel.

"No clue, but there was lipstick smudged on Niall's face so they clearly got busy" Harry adds with a chuckle looking over at me.

"You saw that too?" I say in excitement, "I just hope they're happy" I say with a content sigh, I just want to see both of them happy , they deserve it.

A gust of wind blows making me shiver. I didn't expect it to be chilly during the night here in August.

"Here" Harry says shrugging off his blazer and draping it over my shoulders. I smile at the gesture already feeling a lot more comfortable. This also gives me an even better look at his see through bottom down. I can see his arm tattoos poking through now. I love looking at his tattoos, I swear I find a new one every time. I want to ask him about them one day.

"That shirt is criminal" I say shaking my head, not being able to take my eyes off of it.

Harry laughs at my comment, "That dress is criminal" he retorts, making me look up at him with an amused smile.

"Then the feeling is mutual"

The level of content I feel in this moment is something I want to cherish. I feel like everything is starting to fall into place.

I let out a satisfied sigh,

"What?" Harry says through a laugh at my behavior, scanning over the smile on my face.

"I just feel good" I say letting my current mood consume me.

My bare feet against the cold concrete of the sidewalk just reminds me of summers at my grandparents. I swear I rarely wore shoes, I missed this feeling. I would even say the content I feel now is the same level that I felt as a child. Carefree and just happy.

I grab Harry's hand to stop him from walking, not being able to help myself. I plant a quick peck to his lips, before I continue walking forward again. We usually don't 'casually' kiss, but I just really wanted to. I haven't been able to do it for a bit and I'm just taking advantage of it.

"Sometimes you're kind of adorable" Harry says, his statement causing me to fill to the brim with happiness.

"Sometimes?" I say in faux offence.

"Yep" He states, pulling me into his side making me wrap my arms around his waist.

Once we arrive back at the hotel, I'm flopping on the bed. My feet hurt from my heels, all the walking, and the fact Harry and I literally ran from the cops.

Niall and Maya still aren't back, I shoot them a quick text letting them know we got back safe and telling them to let me know when they're on their way.
