[Kim]

I curled up on the couch waiting for something to happen. I honestly didn't know what to do with myself after Taylor left, I just laid there thinking of all the possible scenarios that could play out and most of them frightened me. Tears sprung to my eyes as I let myself prepare for the worst. I was used to being disappointed by guys but I had faith in Harry, I trusted him. He was different.

My hands hastily wiped my face dry and I hopped off the couch. Making my way down to Zayn's room hoping some company would cheer me up.

Patiently I knocked on the door about 5 times before he finally opened up, wearing nothing but sweats. His dark hair was all over the place with a little bit of stubble giving him that rugged look that I could tell made all the fans swoon. I smirked as he sleepily gazed at me through his long lashes.

"Hey, sleepy head!" I bellowed out, visibly annoying him.

"Quiet down, it's too early." He mumbled in response before walking back into the suite. I followed him inside closing the door behind me and taking a seat on one of the couches while he disappeared into one of the hallways. I could hear the sound of running water while I waited for him to come back.

He shuffled back in, this time sprouting a plain white shirt and flopped down beside me.

"So where's Harry?" Zayn asked nonchalantly. I immediately stiffened, not knowing what to say. "What's wrong?" he asked, noting my reaction to Harry's name.

"I honestly don't know. I-I just, everything is just so complicated," I whispered in response struggling with my words.

"Tell me about it."

I don't know what made me confess everything but he was just looking at me with such sincerity that I broke. I hesitated before launching into my whole story, including my last encounter with Taylor. By the end of it I was a blubbering mess while he just listened carefully and nodded once and again. He pulled me into a tight hug when I was finished, thankful that I knew someone was here for me.

Abruptly I yanked away from his embrace and clutched onto his arms, terror seizing me. "You can't tell anyone! Not Harry, not the rest of the boys, no one! Taylor will kill me if anyone finds out. I shouldn't even have told you-"

"KIM, calm down! I won't tell anyone, you can trust me with anything. But you really should talk to Harry about this. He's my best mate and I know he would never intentionally try to hurt you. I don't think he realizes the conniving bitch he's dealing with. Just try to avoid Taylor completely." I nodded, taking deep breathes and trying my best to maintain my composure. I loosened my grip on his hands and collapsed back down on the couch.

"I don't even know why I'm so upset. Harry didn't do anything wrong but the look on his face just startled me. He was so distant and out of it and I just can't help feeling this way when all my insecurities are really getting to me."

Zayn stayed quiet for a bit just staring into my eyes, lost in thought. "You shoudn't have insecurities at all. There's nothing to be insecure about. Harry is absolutely lucky to have you. And if he's stupid enough to mess up anything you guys have together then he'll hear from me." I chucked at his serious tone and nodded.

"Thanks Zayn, for listening and all." He gave me another friendly hug.

"Anytime, you know I'm always here for you." He murmured into my ear before jumping off the couch. "C'mon, it's time to have some fun. Let's forget about everything and go have a good time."

I laughed at his sudden mood swing and let him drag me out the door.

[Harry]

I nervously checked Kim's hotel room to find it empty. All the rest of the boys were gone too. Odd, I thought while sending her some texts. A while later Kim still hadn't replied so I rang her phone but it went straight to voice mail. After another hour of waiting for her to reply to my constant calls and texts I started to panic. What if she was mad at me? I didn't do anything that she knew of...I guilty bit my lip thinking of what went down earlier with Taylor but quickly bocked that out. Another couple of hours went by and I became really worried, thinking something might have happened to her and it was getting late.

I got up and paced through my room suddenly becoming very restless when I saw the pitch dark outside and she still hadn't come back. On a split second decision, I made up my mind to go on a walk and clear my head. In the hallway I heard loud familiar laughter and immediately picked up my pace towards the sound.

At her door Kim was clutching her stomach, gasping through her laughter. A huge smile plastered on her face mirrored by Zayn who was standing next to her. She playfully slapped his shoulder, "You're terrible Zayn!" I heard her say, still smiling.

I couldn't help but feel a jealous stab looking at the scene before me. Zayn was one of my best friends but that didn't stop me from wanting to be the source of her happiness, not him.

"Hey, guys. Where have you been?" I tried my best to casually hide the bitterness in my voice. The smile dropped from her face when she saw me. She took a step back, towards Zayn and away from me causing me to frown. He intently looked at Kim as if making sure she was alright before turning to me and shooting me a smile.

"Oh we just went out to an amusement park. We just got back a few minutes ago. What about you?"

"Mostly stayed home after getting back from the record place." He nodded and Kim just kept staring at the ground while an awkward tension fell over us.

"Erm, well I think I'll leave you two at it," Zayn started, breaking the silence. "I had a nice time today Kim, see you guys later. He reluctantly retreated back to his room leaving us alone.

I took a step closer, towards Kim but she seemed adamant on staring at the ground. "I called and texted you but you never answered?"

"My phone died, sorry." She softly muttered.

I let out a frustrated sigh before closing the distance between us and hooking my thumb beneath her chin, forcing her gaze up. "Look at me, please. What's wrong?"

"What happened today, Harry? Tell me."

"I-I, well I told them that I don't want to pretend with Taylor anymore..."

"And...?"

"And I think we need a break." I stated firmly.

"Well yeah, I know, that's what you told me today. You and Taylor are going to break up, right?" Her bright eyes pleaded with mine.

I let go of her chin and took a step back, my eyes fixed on a rip in my jeans. I couldn't bear to look at her now.

"No," I held my breath before letting the words tumble out, "I think we need a break Kim, me and you."
