***Carly's POV***
After my shower I am sitting in my room thinking about the text I got from Lucas. I haven't really talked to him since the day I was at his house. But my mind keeps drifting back to our conversation. How can I think everything is fine, when I know it's not? Why do I think if we go on tour with One Direction it will just fix all our problems? I know for damn sure it won't. A knock brings me back out of my thoughts. I hear it again before I walk to my door. I swing it open and I am face to face with Harry. He's smirking at me. "What do you want Harold?" I put my hands on my hips. "Liam let me in. He stepped out so I could talk with you." Harry invites himself into my room. "Why would he need to do that?" "Well, he was on the phone. I think he was talking with his mum." Harry smiles at me. "Get to the point." I'm tapping my foot now, annoyed. "Okay. Geez you're not in a good mood. Maybe you should get laid." Right away I walk over to him and hit him over the head. "OW!" "You deserve that. Now tell me why you're here or get the hell out." I point to my door. "I just wanted to know if you could set me up with your friend Abby." Harry gives me a small smile. "And why would I do that?" "Because we're really good friends." "I wouldn't call us friends. I call us acquaintances...anyway I wouldn't even set Abby up with you." I walk out my door knowing he will be following me. "Why not?" Harry grabs my arm to stop me. I turn to face him. "I saw how you looked at her when we were at the hotel. Stay away from her." Suddenly Liam walks through the door and automatically he glares at Harry. I start laughing. Harry walks out without saying anything. Liam turns to me and I'm still laughing. "What did he want?" Liam raises his eyebrows at me. "He wanted me to set him up with Abby." I start laughing again. Liam is just standing there with a straight face. "Carly it might actually do her good to date someone besides Lucas." Liam walks to the couch and sits down. I face him. "You can't be serious." "So much so." Liam gives me a lopsided smile. "Did you forget that Abby is pregnant with Lucas' child?" I throw my hands up. "Well, let's just forget about the Harry and Abby situation. I was on the phone with my mum." "About the wedding?" He nods and looks away. What is he not telling me? I go over to him and sit beside him. I put his face in my hands so he has look at me. "Liam what did your mom need to talk about now?" "We have to move up the wedding?" Liam looks away from me. I drop my hands. You would think I would be happy about this, but why do I feel so scared? "What? No we can't." "Carly we have to since we're going on tour next month." "But-" "It'll be fine." Liam gives me a reassuring smile before getting up and walking back to his room. I'm left alone and I feel so alone. I need my friends.
***Abby's POV***
I'm sitting at the kitchen table writing another song for the tour. I've been really happy lately writing songs. I think I'm happier for Carly because her dream is coming true. I smile to myself. I get a text from her saying that she wants to come over. She needs advise. That's so not like her. She's always giving everyone the advice. I hear the doorbell ring. I shut the notebook and walk to the door. When I open the door I am expecting Carly, but Lucas is standing there with his head down. He looks like he hasn't got any sleep. I haven't seen him since he was here and I told him I am pregnant. I remember he said it was a mistake and he regrets everything. Suddenly I'm angry. "Abby..." My head shoots up, didn't even know I am looking at the ground. Instead of Lucas standing there that I thought it was; it is Harry Styles. He has a big smile on his lips. Wow he's really cute in person. "Harry what are you doing here? Are you lost?" "I don't think so." He chuckles. Wow I made Harry Styles chuckle. Damnit Abby get a hold of yourself. There has to be a good reason why he's here. He's not here to ask you out. "Abby do you want to go get some ice cream?" My mouth drops open. Maybe he is here to ask me out. Now I'm getting all giddy inside. Damnit! There is only one guy that ever did that to me. Damnit why am I thinking about Lucas when Harry is in front of me? "Sure let's go."
****Carly's POV***
I am walking down the street coming upon Abby's neighborhood still thinking about this damn wedding. I mean I want to marry Liam, but is it too soon? And beyond that the whole Harry and Abby thing; why would Harry think I would agree to this? He's a player and I don't want him to use Abby. I could have kicked him where it hurts for even asking me. I am getting angry at Harry, but then it would do Abby good to get her mind off Lucas. I don't want her to date Harry though. I am walking up to her house when I stop short. I stand back so they can't see, but I can't believe my eyes. Harry; that asshole is standing at Abby's door talking to her. I see the bright smile on her face and it hurt me. That's the first time she smiled in a while. Suddenly I see Abby close the door behind her and they are walking down her driveway. They're going...on a date? What will Lucas do if he found out about this? Would he do anything at all? And what will happen if Harry finds out that she's pregnant? Oh boy this isn't going to end well.
