CORIE
" So you feel better about you and Harry?" April asked as I strapped up my heels.
" Yea, I know where I stand with him now so it's not confusing."
" But you still..like him?""
"Um no, I don't think so."
" Corie what does that mean?"
" It means what I just said, now is Margo meeting us there?"
" Actually she's hanging with Liam tonight, or should I say Lima Bean," she laughs.
" They're cute. What about you? What are you doing later?"
"After The Troc I'm just hanging with Niall and that's about it. Is Harry coming tonight?"
" No, he said he has something to do, which probably means someone to do," I say regretting it.
" Oh honey..."
" I don't know April, I was starting to actually like him."
" Well why don't you just tell him? "
" I can't do that, besides it doesn't matter now. He made it clear, he wants a friendship and nothing more. I just have to respect it."
" This could all just be a phase, remember you liked Jesse McCartney for like 5 years?" April asked lightening the mood.
" I still believe I'm Mrs. McCartney April," I say flipping my hair that was straight for the first time in 4 years. It was April's idea.
My hair nearly reached my butt which made it harder to maintain than my curls (which is why I never wore it straight).
April wore a yellow fitted romper with green heels that tied up her legs. Niall was going to love this outfit.
I was going to wear jeans but April convinced me to wear this red short dress with a plunging neckline and nude color heels. I have on little to no make up and I feel beautiful, we both do.
Britney comes and picks us up and we head to The Troc. When we arrive the place is packed and the music is perfect.
A few guys whistle and grab at us while we make our way over to familiar faces. But we politely decline their advances.
Pothead Larson playfully grabs his chest like he's having a heart attack when he sees us.
" Thanks for the compliment," Britney smiles doing a 360 in her white strapless dress.
"Haven't seen straight haired Corie in years," Mike said coming up behind me and kissing me on my cheek.
" Don't get use to it," I giggled.
" Yea, yea. You guys look so good," Mike continued smacking Britney's butt causing her to shove him.
While the two playfully argued I found myself wondering what Harry was doing. I knew I should have gave him space but I couldn't. It's just a text message right? Pulling out my phone I write-
♢Hey you...♢
A few moments later my phone vibrates and I get the same butterflies I usually get.
♤Har's in the shower, should I pass a message?♤
My heart dropped.
I wanted to believe it was one of the guys but they don't call him 'Har'. Besides knowing Harry, it was definitely a female.
Okay. Alright. He has every right to...who am I kidding!? I'm upset. I'm hurt and I know I shouldn't be, I just can't help it. This sucks.
" Here, taste this. Don't worry it's like almost zero alcohol in it," Mike said passing me his drink.
HARRY
"I just like to have fun," the blonde said sitting across from me.
I had to actually focus on what she was saying. With Corie it came so naturally.
I met Rachel (I believe that's her name) a few months back and just got around to calling her. She didn't seem to care as long as I called.
There was always Layla but after that stunt on the beach I was turned completely off. Rachel seemed like a nice girl I guess. I don't even know when I became interested in nice girls.
I excused myself when Liam called me from the living room. He was putting on his jacket and I was glad he was leaving. Liam asks too many questions.
"So you back to your old ways?" he questions proving my point.
" Meaning?"
" Bringing home random girls, having sex with them, kicking them out..."
"Shut up Liam, sheesh don't you have a date?"
" Don't you have a amazing girl that's into you?" he asked, I didn't have to ask who he was talking about.
"Corie and I talked, it's best to remain friends. Besides, I don't want anything more and she's not the type of girl you just screw."
" So you're going to be drowning in girls who mean nothing to you and can't add up to one?"
Walking off I headed back to my room when I thought I heard my phone go off.
I had been thinking about Corie since we left the boardwalk. I had won her a huge bear and afterwards she won herself one.
It would've been better if it were her sitting on my bed when I entered my room.
" Hey did my phone go off?" I ask her.
" No, that was my phone. You hungry?"
Normally I would say no just to speed things up but I thought about what Liam and I had discussed a little earlier. Would the girl be meaningless if I offered to cook for her then screwed her?
CORIE
"Brit I love you!" I said squeezing her cheeks.
" You're drunk girly," she laughs.
" How many cups of Mike's concoction did you have?" April asked me while sitting next to Niall who had arrived about an hour ago.
" I had 3 cups , it's so good. Mike made love to my cup," I giggle causing everyone around me to laugh.
" I told her it would sneak up on her," Mike said as I began to dance.
" Someone's tipsy!" I hear Margo say from behind me. Liam is with her and they're holding hands.
I hug her and squeeze her boob causing her to double over in laughter.
" Liam she's an amazing girl!" I slur.
" Thank you I know," he smiles. How can anyone cheat on Liam?
" Yea Corie had 3 cups of Mike's concoction," April said.
"Snitches get stitches April," I say as everyone laughs harder.
" Yea, she's drunk. It's fine. After Lima Bean and I went to the movies we're kinda tired anyway. We were just gonna go to his place" Margo sighs.
"We have to go back with you guys anyway, I don't have my key," Niall stands and stretches.
April turns to me, " you want us to drop you off at my house?"
I thought about what she said for a second. I knew I should go home but I just couldn't.
Once I say I want to go with them Liam pulls me to the side. "I don't think it's a good idea if you go there."
"Don't worry Liam, I know he's with a female. I'll be on my best behavior, he won't even know I'm there."
