A/N I hope you enjoy the second part. Afjsskjfh Niall look so cute aaa.

Harry's POV

I can't believe I just did that. What the actual fuck did I just do? I walk to my car when I hear someone call my name, probably that lady from before, who's name I can't remember. Jenny, I think.

"Harry, wait..." She squeals, her voice puffed from running. I raise my eyebrow.

"Simon agreed to your terms as long as you rejoin the band," she says.

"Well, I'll see him and you at the next meeting then," I say, trying to keep composed. I open the door to my car. I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding in. Holy shit. I just walked out of a meeting with Simon Cowell. I JUST SAW LOUIS TOMLINSON. God I'm so tir- my phone starts to ring, interrupting my thoughts.

Hiya Haz

Hey Niall uh what's up?

Well since you did that absolutely beast thing in there we were all gonna hang out at mine to sort through this reunion.

Um oh alright I'll meet you there then?

Okay Haz see you then

Bye Niall.

Nononono, I now have to spend time with them alone. There's no annoying Simon to divert the conversation about all this boring reunion shit. What am I supposed to say to these boys? "Hey we haven't talked for years, how's life?"

My anxiety is not coping with this. I'm not coping with this. Louis hurt me more than I could ever imagine, Zayn suddenly decided we weren't friends anymore, Liam and I are more like acquaintances, and Niall is just nice to everyone.

God, at least Simon was there so we didn't have to talk. There is no way around this now.

I walk in and see that Niall and Zayn are already there. Thank God Louis is nowhere to be seen.

"Hiya lads," I say, trying to make the tension in the air a little lighter.

"Hey, Haz, we're just waiting for Liam, and, uh, Louis," Niall says hesitantly.

"Right, uh how are you guys," I ask curtly.

"Oh, yeah, I'm good, ya know, the reunion was a bit of a shock but I thought why not, our fans have been waiting long enough." Nialler replies.

"Fucking fantastic can't wait to do this again," Zayn snarls at me. This makes me angry; I don't know what happened between Zayn and I; we used to be so close and now can't even have a civil conversation. Before I can make another remark, there's a knock on the door, and Niall gets up cautiously to open it.

"Lovely too see you too Malik," I mumble under my breath; it's too late to say it to his face now. Liam walks through the door, giving us both a tight smile, and there he is in all his glory. His face is scrunched up as if he is deep in thought. We all sit on Niall's comfy couches completely in silence. The awkwardness is astronomical. I remember the days when we would just sit on the tour bus, playing FIFA, making music, and just being ourselves.

Flashback 2012:

"YESSSS, GOAL IN YOUR FACE ZAYNIE," Louis screams in Zayn's face, his Doncaster accent coming though, and he is doing a victory dance when me and Niall walk through looking tired. Louis' face immediately softens.

"Hiya love, how are you?" Louis asks, wrapping his arms around my lanky body.

"Tired, I missed you," I mumble, nuzzling my face into Louis' neck more if it is even possible.

"Come on darling come sit down," He guides us both to the couch I'm lying completely on top of him.

"You too are so cute together," Niall says, stuffing his face with chips. Louis smiles so big.

"Thanks," We sit down and start arguing over what movie to put on.

"Come on guys Toy Story is a classic and its short put that one on," Liam whines.

"Nah, I reckon a horror movie is the way to go, honestly, I need an adrenaline rush," Zayn argues back.

"No please no horror movies we always watch them and Harry gets scared," Liam says.

"Heyyy so do you Liam, and besides who decided to put all those scary death scenes in there, I swear they're going to come through the screen and kill me!" I say.

"I'll protect you don't worry about it love," Louis whispers just for me to hear, kissing my cheek, blush rising on my cheeks.

"I don't know why you're so scared Liam it's not like an army of spoons are coming through," Niall says, Zayn high-fives him and the both burst out laughing. These are the moments I wanted to remember forever, just us being friends, and most of all Louis being by my side.

Flashback over

Suddenly I'm pulled back into reality by the sound of Niall's voice.

"We should all say all the things we have done these past years, I can't keep up with you lads," He says trying to improve the mood just a tad. We all murmur in agreement.

"Why don't you start Harry I see you have been busy," Niall says nudging him.

"Okay we are really doing this," I mumble.

"Well I released 2 albums one in 2017 the other in 2019, did a couple dozen photoshoots, was on the cover of for Vogue, uh I did a tour for my debut and tried to tour for a Fine Line but ya know covid, I got to tour America though, haven't really stopped much." I chuckle

"Well you never really stop do you?" Louis mumbles to himself, oVbIoUsLy not very well cuz I heard him, my face shoots up darkness clouding my face.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I shoot back, he really has the audacity to say that to me. Especially now after all we have been through, and this is the first thing he says, he must be fucking joking.

"I just mean whenever you know you are shit, you don't stop, do as many things as you can," Louis says back, wishing he didn't, he should have just bit his tongue.

"You don't know anything about me!" I fire back standing up. The rest of the boys' faces look worried. Louis stands up as well.

"As matter of fact Harry I do, in case you forgot we dated FOR 5 YEARS!" Louis shouts.

"That was before you ruined everything, I don't need you, Louis, and you sure as fuck don't seem to need me, you proved that 5 years ago." I say in a low voice, so deep and so menacing that he can hear the pain I went through, still, almost like it was yesterday, still fresh. Louis stands there, shook, not only because I NEVER swear, but also because my words cut like a knife.

"Thanks for inviting Nialler, but next time let's not pretend we're at some tea party and all magically friends again." I grab my jacket and slam the door. The worst part is the boys don't know what to say, because it's true. 

A/N Wasn't sure how I felt about this chapter, but anyway. Should I include Ziam or Niam? I know no one is going to answer but if you could I would appreciate it, or any feedback in general. tpwk babes x
