For the past few hours, my thoughts were on Harry, and only Harry. Lottie was starting to get worried.

"Lou, if you don't stop thinking of him, your brain will turn to mush." she laughs. I roll my eyes and slip my vans on.

"Where are you going?" She asks. Lottie takes a nibble out of an apple and sets it on a napkin.

"I need to get something to eat, it said on the pill bottle." I shrug. This prescription was different for some odd reason, to eat something in less than 5 hours after taking the meds. It was odd, but that's part of the deal. I put my Doncaster Rovers sweatshirt on and pull my sleeves over my hands.

"I'll be back in like 30 minutes." I mumble, walking out. I shut the door and sigh. Why did I have to have this sickness? Out of all the people in the world, it chose me.

I walk down the long corridor and step inside the elevator. The elevator shakes as it slides down to the first floor.

I walk to the glass door, and wave to our front desk lady, Katherine. She was really close to Lottie in middle school, so I saw her a lot then. The streets were very chilly and busy today, due to a band coming into town. I didn't really look into it, due to my illness. When I go out to whether it's a concert, or even to a movie showing, it brings up pain at the roughest times.

All the cars in the street was having really bad traffic, so I decided to just walk. I wasn't planning on going very far, anyway.

A small Chinese takeout place comes into view. I press the crosswalk button and wait.

I notice the button turns to the walk signal. I look both ways and jog to the other side. The red banner at the top reads, Nell Gwynn Chinese Restaurant.

I walk in the small wooden door, and a bell rings throughout the entire place. A lady across the room yells, "Hello!"

I wave and give a weak smile. I sit on the small wooden chair by the door and wait for assistance. The lady who greeted me walks back to the front and grabs a notepad.

"Welcome to Nell Gwynn Chinese Restaurant! Follow me!" She greets, "I love your sweatshirt by the way." She chuckles. I follow her into the booth. Someone sits in the other seat across from me.

Harry himself.

"Why aren't I getting my own table?" I ask, shocked. The lady smiles.

"I saw the lad stare at you when you walked in, and plus he asked." she replies. I turn my head to him as he gives me a cute smile.

"Long time no see, eh?" He chuckles. I blush and look at my hands on my lap. This was the most awkward position.

I decide to bring up a random topic, "So traffics really busy, eh?" I laugh. He looks out the window beside us.

"Yeh, their show is on in like 4 hours. People are already showing up!" He chuckles.

"Wait who's performing tonight?" I ask,

"The Fray.. I'm going tonight!" He claps his hands like a little girl.

Then I realized he said The Fray.

My heart stops.

"T-The Fray?" I choke. Harry nods slowly.

"That's my favorite band!" I yelp. How can I be so stupid? I knew I should've bothered to check to see who was coming!

"Really? Mine too!" He replies. "Y-you know, I have an empty seat beside me, and it would make me very happy if you sat in that seat." He blushes and looks down.

"Maybe I will." I reply. A bright smile appears on his face.

When I get home, I shut the door and lean my back against the wall, smiling. I get to see my favorite band with my favorite person.

"Hey, loser. What took you so long?" Lottie peeks her head out of the bathroom. She has her hair wrapped in a towel and another towel on her body.

"I ran into Harry at the restaurant." I blush, kicking my feet. Lottie gives me another look.

"I told you Lou, you were going to get brought together again." She sings while walking into the hall.

I walk into my room and open my closet door, revealing all my clothing. I look through the closet by browsing through the hangers. A black tank top catches my attention.

I rip the tank top off the hanger and lay it on my bed. I grab a random pair of black jeans.

As I walk into the bathroom, my phone buzzes with a text.

From Unknown:

Excited for tonight, love? All the love. H.x

To Unknown:

How did you get my number?

From Unknown:

Your lovely sister gave it to me. Looks like I got something to thank her for x

I lock my phone, and I can't help but blush at his sudden actions. Thank you Lottie.

I put my clothes on and look in the mirror. My face is red from the meds, which was part of the side effects.

"Lottie!" I yell across the hall.

"Yeah!?" She yells, I study my face.

"What can help red spots on my face?" I reply. Lottie is silent for a moment,

"Try moisturizer!" She replies. I look through the cabinet and grab the small bottle. I put a finger tip of load and rub it on my face. The red spots start to go away for a temporary of time.

Lasts for 12 hours! It reads. 12 hours up my ass. (A/N: Sassy lou aww)

I huff and switch the light off and walk back to my room. My fuzzy shocks shock my against the carpet. Lottie peeks in.

"Aw, Lou. You look so cute!" She gives me a grin.

"Cute is not in my dictionary." I pout. She frowns as I look up at her.

"Do you think Harry will like it?" I ask. She looks at me in the eyes and smiles.

"He'll love it."

From All the love:

Im here

I stand from the couch and make my way toward the door. As I'm about to leave, Lottie comes rushing into the living room.

"Hold it, do you have your coat?"

"I'm wearing it, Lottie," I roll my eyes at my sister as she checks that I have everything.

"Wallet?" She raises her eyebrows,

"Yes, now let me go." I open the front door.

"Keys?"

"Lottie, I have everything I could possibly need." I tell her, one foot out the door.

"Ok, be safe." She pats my head as I walk down the steps.

When I reach Harry's car I open the door and a wave of Chanel hits me. When I step in, Harry's smiling face turns toward me.

"Ready?" He licks his lips.

"Yeah, are-" I jump in my seat when a loud knocking erupts to my right. Upon seeing Lottie, annoyance takes over my facial expression.

Harry laughs and rolls down my window from his side of the car. When it's completely down, Lottie throws something into the car and runs away quickly.

No fucking way.

"Breath mints?" Harry smirks at me and I put my red hot face into my hands.
