After we all got finished unpacking and settling into the hotel, we all met in the living room.

I was the last one down. Wow, they unpacked fast. Louis, Niall, and Zayn sat on the 3-person couch. Harry sat alone on the 2-person couch and Liam was in the chair.

Harry gave me an evil look when I sat on the arm of the chair with Liam. "Why are you avoiding me, Kate?" Harry asked furiously, standing up.

I shut my eyes tightly and cuddled up to Liam. Liam stood up and placed me in the chair behind him. "Because she's scared of you, Harry! You hurt her a few days ago. Did you know that she has bruises on her arms because of you?!!" Liam shouted at Harry.

Harry's face fell. "Holly. I-I'm so sorry. I-I never meant to hurt you. I'm sorry."

Liam turned around. "Holly? What's he talking about, Kate?"

I swallowed hard. "Harry was at my house once and he heard my mum call me Holly. My real name is Holly Katherine Lukson. I always went by my middle name and shortened it to Kate. My actual name is Holly.."

Liam nodded. "I get it. It's okay. No need to be embarrassed." I smiled.

Louis butted in. "But you realize that we're probably all going to start calling you Holly now."

I giggled. "That's fine. I don't really care. I just had the nickname Kate, I don't even remember why. But I like the name Holly, so it's all good."

Harry pushed Liam to the side. "Holly, I can't believe you're scared of me. I had no idea what I was doing. Please forgive me."

I forced a smile. "I forgive you, Harry. But understand that we are never getting back together.. I'm sorry. I just can't love you after what you did."

He slightly smiled. "I'm fine with that. When you find the love of your life, tell me. I won't get jealous, I just want to make sure he doesn't hurt you. I knew this was coming."

I nodded and smiled. "Okay, Harry."

---------------------------------------------

"Guys, I just got a text from Oliver. He said we need to get to rehearsal in an hour. Got it?" Liam yelled across the whole hotel.

The guys responded with a series of 'yea's. I walked up to Liam. "What am I supposed to do while your gone?" I bit my lip.

He smiled at me. "What are you talking about? You're coming with us!"

I smiled. "Good. When are we going to tell them about us? It's been a month!! And we're in Florida! I want to go to Disn-"

Liam cut me off and stopped me from jumping up and down. "Okay okay okay. You want to tell them right now?" I nodded. "Okay then. Let's do it!" he grabbed my hand and pulled me to the living room and sat me in the chair. Everybody was already sitting in the living room. Louis, Niall, and Harry on the 3-seater. And Zayn alone on the 2-seater. "I have an announcement to make."

Liam turned the tv off and everyone whined. "We heard you Liam. We'll be ready in time for rehearsal. Geez!"

Liam laughed. "No it's much more serious and much more important than that!" they all looked up and listened. Liam sat down by me and put his arm around me. "Holly and I have been dating for-"

Harry jumped up and cut him off. "What?!! I can't believe this!"

I sat up. My smile turned to a frown. "Harry, you said you'd be happy for me when I found the love of my life. Liam is the love of my life."

Harry looked up from pacing back and forth. "Yeah I said that but I didn't expect 'the love of your life' to be one of my best friends?!!"

Liam spoke. "Harry, calm down. It's okay. I'm taking good care of her. We've been dating for a month now. I love her an will never hurt her. Trust me."
