Finally, the night of our lives had come. The night of the biggest party of the year. I was going with two two my best friends, Kate and Hannah since we were all very much single.

"Why won't you ask him out?" Hannah complained to Kate. "He's like seriously hot and you both obviously like eachother! You're just too scared. Oh my god!"  This was about the hundredth time Hannah told Kate to ask Leo out.

"It's not that I'm scared...it's..it would just be really embarrassing you know. Me? Asking him out? It's meant to be the other way around! He'd probably say no anyway!"

"Okay look, you both have been fighting all night and I'm sick of it. It's fine okay? We're all gonna have the best night of our lives tonight, single or not and that's all that matters. It's a girls night. It's our night. We're going to the biggest party of the year and you both wont shut up. Now stop complaining, we have to get ready!" I said breaking the tension.

"Okay." Hannah replied really annoyed that I wasn't defending her but Kate. We did have to get ready though. We were pretty late already.

"Thank you." Kate mouthed to me. I smiled back.

By the time we got there, all of our friends were there. The not so single ones. God I'm so jealous of all of them. I just want to be in a healthy relationship for once.

"Well look who decided to show up." Alex said laughing. Alex was one of my best friends. I could talk to him about anything. I honestly trusted him with my whole life, we were that close. We dated for a few weeks last year but lets just say...my mom wasn't really a big fan us. We decided that it would be a better idea if we just stayed close friends. My mom was just worried for me that I was moving on too quickly and I'd get hurt again. She did have a point. She knew Alex and I were good friends and she didn't want me to lose him. Alex has a girlfriend now and I got to say she's amazing. They're adorable together. They're in such a healthy relationship and I'm so happy for them.

"Sorry we're late." I said laughing as well.

"You wish he was here, don't you?" Alex said sympathetically.

"I mean..yeah I guess but it was for the best you know."

He nodded understandingly.

We danced around for a lot of the night and we all got pretty drunk too. It was definitely one of the best nights of the year. I may have gotten a little high too but that's not the point. Everyone has left now. I was meant to go home with Hannah but she bailed on all of us like an hour ago for god knows what. My mom said she was coming home from work and that she would collect me. She was running a little late.

Great. I'm high and drunk as fuck and I'm standing alone in the cold at night. Not creepy at all!

Spoke too soon.

A figure was making it's way towards me. They came walking out of an alleyway. A person. They looked pretty tall, wearing a black hoodie with the hood up and black torn jeans. Alex was following him. Alex left us during the party. Why would he be here now? He said he was going home?  They started talking. They looked angry at eachother. Who is that? I don't recognise them at all and this town is pretty small? Alex was being roared at. I stood still. I couldn't move. I was so confused.

After a minute, Alex was making his way over to me, the unknown figure walking away.

"I thought you were leaving with Hannah? Why are you still-" He said extremely confused. Why is he confused? I'm the confused one here.

"No, she bailed on us like an hour ago, just like you."

"I'm sorry." he apologised.

"Why are you here now? And who's the guy you were talking to" I said looking around not seeing the figure anymore. Before he could answer, my mom pulled up. " I'm sorry, I'll see you later though." I said sighing.

All he said was "Go."

A few minutes earlier

Harry Styles

"Don't fucking touch her" he caught the collar of my shirt shoving me into the wall behind me. I laughed. I actually laughed. This was too funny honestly. He was half drunk anyway. There was some shitty party on I don't even know.

"Stop fucking laughing!" he said shoving me into the wall again. "it's not funny!" I wasn't one bit phased by this. He slapped my face, only to make me grin even more, my head turning to the side from the impact. Before he could do anything else I shoved him off of me, him falling over. I didn't even bother beating him up. We couldn't kill eachother anyway.

"You know, I find this quite funny actually. You thinking you can just come back here all high and mighty and shove me into a wall giving me orders, telling me what I can and can't do. Who the fuck do you think you are? The fucking president or some shit? I can do whatever the fuck I want, whenever I want, you know? And you, out of all people, don't ever fucking give me orders." When he attempted to get up I shoved him back down. "And don't you ever fucking touch me ever again." I said giving him a warning walking out of the alleyway.
