"Harry, where are we going?" I ask. Harry is sitting on my bed while I search for clothes to wear. 

"Just go shower and I'll lay out the clothes you'll wear." He says. I shrug and walk into the bathroom, closing the door. I hear my dresser drawers being opened and start the shower. 

I've been feeling pretty alright today. I'm finally beginning to accept dad's death. I think it's a good thing, too. I hate being upset all the time. This was pretty much worse than when I was alone at school. 

I step out of the shower and brush my hair and teeth. I wipe off my face and wrap a towel around me. I walk out the bathroom and over to my bed wear the black ripped skinny jeans Harry bought me lay and the 5 Seconds Of Summer shirt. I groan. No way am I wearing this! I grab the shirt and go to my dresser and open the shirt drawer. 

It was empty. 

What the hell. 

I look at the shirt. 

There's four pictures with the name and logo at the top of the shirt. There's a picture of Luke eating a watermelon. I smile sadly. I could have had him, though. But I let him go. God, I'm stupid. He's getting so famous... He'll forget me. He probably already has. I look under Luke and see Ashton. The bandana suits him. I look at Calum and smile. He's helped Luke and I out. I'm grateful for that. Now, I look at Michael. His hair is white with a black section in the middle. 

I wish I could have at least met them. Yes, even Ashton. 

I sigh and put the shirt on anyway. 

-

"Alright, Katie! I've arranged a little surprise!" Harry squeals, bouncing over to his car.

"Surprise?" I repeat.

"Surprise." He pulls out a bandana just like the one Ashton was wearing in my shirt. "I want the to be a good surprise, too. So, put this on." I hesitate. Harry sighs and puts it on me. "Katie, I'm not gonna kill you." He giggles and knots it in the back of my head. I immediately put my hand to my eyes. I can't see anything. 

"W-Where are we-" 

"It's a surprise!" Harry exclaims. I hear a car door open and Harry takes my arm and guides me in the car. "It's okay." I nod and then my door shuts. Harry gets in the other side quickly and he starts the car. "Alright, let me send a quick text to... mum and we'll be off." I nod. 

We back out of the driveway and I'm not sure what direction we went because I'm blindfolded. 

We drive for what seems like hours. I hear a snap. 

"I need you to put these in." Harry says. 

"I can't see those." I say. God he's dumb. I smile.

"Oh, right! They're headphones! I want this to be a serious surprise, so you're not even allowed to hear." He says. I grab out in various places until Harry laughs and places the headphones in my hands. I feel for the buds and put them in my ear. Harry's music starts blasting in my ear. I can't even hear the car moving anymore. 

-

The car comes to a stop and I take out a headphone. 

"Nope, keep that in," Harry says. I put it back in and when I do, She Looks So Perfect comes on. I freeze. 

Luke's voice makes my insides melt and freeze up and then melt again. I hate his voice. 

I feel movement and assume the door's being opened. Harry grabs my hand and I gasp. It feels different. Maybe he's using a different hand. 

We walk and I feel like we're on a sidewalk. I feel a pat on my back and glare at nothing. What is going on?

"Harry! I'm feeling uncomfortable!" I yell over the music only I can hear. If Harry responds, I don't hear it. She Looks So Perfect ends and I hear doors opening. I take out an ear phone and turn into Harry. 

"Harry, I'm feeling uncomfortable." I say again, sounding more serious. I hear laughing that sounded different than Harry's. 

"W-We're almost there, though! Just put the head phone in and we'll be there before the next song is over." He sounds distant, but I'm too uncomfortable to question it. I put the headphone back in and cross my arms. Harry guides me through another set of doors, I assume and finally, Harry tugs at my head phones. 

"About fucking time, you sack of shit. don't you ever do that again." I say, ripping the bandana off my face. My eyes almost pop out of my head and my stomach starts to feel queasy.

"What a way to greet us, Katie." 

"L-Lucas." I breathe.
