Harry, Louis and the other three boys they live with at university, Niall, Liam and Zayn are all heading off for their Christmas holidays with their families. That's when Louis gets the call that he can't come home, his mum and four step-sisters are...
Today is a new day. The whole kiss thing was yesterday. New beginnings, a new day on the caldender, one step closer to Christmas, who cares that you're in love with Louis Tomlinson. Because I had figured it out on my long walk the day before, I loved Louis. I finally figured out that feeling that had been bugging me ever since I met Louis and more intensely since we started sharing a house, that funny feeling I got when Louis first arrived at their flat with his sister on his back and his laughing face and cheerful personality.
I went downstairs for breakfast knowing to expect that fluttery feeling in my stomach when I'd walk into the kitchen to see Louis and my mum making breakfast together and dancing to Christmas songs.
"Here Harry, can you do the bacon?" Mum asked, passing me the tongs.
I joined in gladly, turning up the volume of the speaker. Louis laughed and carried on singing, dancing with all his stupid but amazing dance moves.
I fried up the bacon, making the kitchen smoky and the house smelling delicious, while Louis put waffle mix into the cooker and pulled out two perfect waffles at a time every few minutes and Mum whipped some cream and made tea for everyone.
"Harry, is that all of the bacon?" Louis shouted over the music. I checked the packet and confirmed that it was all gone.
"Okay! I'll take it to the table." Louis said and he picked up the plate and carried it into the dining room.
I turned off the stove and opened a window slightly to clear the smoke out of the kitchen then I followed Louis into the dining room with two more cups of tea.
The five of us enjoyed our breakfast and bacon and waffles, arguing over the best Christmas song. Laughing with my family took my mind off Louis and the knee that I didn't know was desperately trying to get my attention under the table.
"I went out yesterday and bought some more lights and a few new decorations if we can all put them up after breakfast." Robin said.
When everything had been cleaned up we all put on coats and gathered the lights, going outside to put them up. I have to admit that it was hot when Louis climbed up the tree beside the house with a pocketful of hooks for the lights and stepped onto the roof, shimmying to the edge and clipping the hooks onto the gutter. Robin threw up the end of the lights and Louis started to put them through the hooks. I unraveled the big rope of lights while Robin directed them to Louis up on the roof and Gemma and Mum were trying to get the plug in through the window and connect it to the socket.
After about an hour of hanging lights we went back inside for another cup of tea.
"These are the inside decorations that I got." Robin said, dragging a bag over from beside the couch and starting to empty it. He had a little wooden carving of Santa, a model of a cottage that was covered in snow, several strings of tinsel and a few baubles.
"Oo, these can go on the stairs." I said, picking up the sparkly silver tinsel and running to the stairs. I wrapped them around the banister a few times and tied a knot at the end so they wouldn't slide down.
"Wow, that looks good." Louis said, watching me examine the look of the staircase.
"Why thank you." I replied with a laugh, leading the way back into the living room.
We put the rest of the stuff up and it felt like everything was ready for Christmas, which was in six more days. While Mum and Gemma made dinner me, Louis and Robin watched a football game that was on, but I wasn't that into football so I opened my phone and scrolled through Instagram, finding a post from Niall.

@ niall_horan sort of a photoshoot night because the missus wouldn't stop taking photos of me, can't blame her though, I am beautiful!
I laughed and opened my messages to text him.
Harry: Oi, how come you didn't tell me that you're all loved up?
Niall: Oh sorry, I had a crush on her in high school and we met up the day I got back and have been dating ever since.
Harry: I'm so happy for you man
Niall: Thanks Harry
"Oi Louis, did you know Niall has a girlfriend?" I asked.
"What? No, show me." Louis replied.
I showed him the two posts.
"Wow, that's so cool. I love the beginnings of relationship's don't you?" Louis said.
"Yeah, but when you get serious is also amazing." I replied.
"Course it is, yeah, me and Eleanor are like, right there ya know?" Louis said.
