I woke up around 1pm with my head aching and moaned to myself about having to go into work at 2.

I had absolutely ruined myself the night before and now I was extremely hungover and not looking forward to going into work, even knowing that Harry was going to be there.

I cursed as I couldn't even remember how many drinks I'd consumed and knew that today was going to be tough.

Taking a few paracetamol I got ready for work and walked there, deciding that the bright sunshine outside might help to wake me up, as long as I put on some sunglasses.

By the time I got there Harry and the others had already arrived and somehow they looked perfectly fine.

"Hailey you look like shit." Ethan said with a laugh and KSI soon joined in when he saw the state of me.

"I feel like it too." I mumbled before yawning.

"By the way Hailey, you can call me JJ, you kept calling me KSI last night and it was funny for a bit but I feel like we're on a first name basis now." JJ said holding out his hand for me to shake as if we were meeting again for the first time.

"Nice to meet you JJ." I said shaking his hand and giving a small laugh, my head still pounding.

"How are you guys? You don't even look hungover, which I really don't understand after last night."

"Well I bailed early." JJ said with a smirk.

"And Harry and I are just built different." Ethan said which earned a laugh from JJ.

"Yeah that's one way of saying you're alcoholics!" JJ cut in.

Harry just scratched his head and shrugged.

"Yeah we might have the occasional beverage or two." Harry added which got even more laughter out of Jj and Ethan.

Sue started to walk over so we all stopped talking and got on with the job.

The guys were leaving work early to film another video when Harry pulled me aside.

"Hey we're going to film a Lazer Tag video now but afterwards we're gonna have a few drinks and play some games without the cameras on if you wanted to come along?"

"Yeah that'd be great!" I replied and he gave me one of his signature dimpled grins before saying goodbye and joining the others.

I didn't finish work for another two hours but by the time I clocked out I was feeling almost normal again, with just the slightest bit of a hangover lingering.

I took a pizza home from work with me and had a shower before checking my phone for the address that Harry had sent through.

It was slightly too far to walk so I took a bit longer on my hair and makeup before walking to the nearest tube station.

It was a warm night so I'd gone for shorts and a black t-shirt with a cardigan for later if it gets cold. I'd basically chugged a bottle of water while I was at home and I finally felt like my hangover was gone so I was actually starting to get excited about the night.

When I made it to the Lazer Tag place the boys had already wrapped up filming and were spread out at a few tables drinking and chatting.

Simon spotted me first and put an arm around my shoulder as he introduced me to a few new faces that I hadn't seen before but the boys seemed to be very comfortable around.

"Hailey this is Lux and Freezy." He motioned to two boys who were sat next to eachother and I was a bit confused by the strange names.

"We're both called Callum." Freezy cleared up when he saw my face.
