The Way Things Change

Chapter 60

*Harry's POV*

Waking up to a brand new morning. Or afternoon, I didn't really know. I felt rested and revitalized. The sickness had completely left my body. And yesterday was quite the party. It's not everyday one of your best mates gets engaged. And if he thinks she is the right one, then she is. She certainly makes him happy with her quirky personality.

I took a look on my phone. It was 2pm. It had been a long time, since I could sleep without disturbance. Though I quite liked being waked by Kate. Too bad she had taken over the flu. But she was the one that insisted she wasn't able to catch it. I should make sure to tease her about that. When she was well again, of course. I'm not that cruel.

Walking into the kitchen I found Niall and Luisa. They were really an odd couple. She was really shy. I hadn't really spoken to her, well, I didn't know her enough to really judge her. She was quite pretty. She was quite curvy, probably because of her love of food. She was Italian after all. But she certainly wasn't fat.

"Good morning." I spoke up, making them jump. Luisa blushed slightly. I wondered what they had been talking about.

"Good morning mate. How's the head?" Niall grinned. We kind of had a chugging competition yesterday. Not telling you who won. But my head wasn't hurting at all. I must have developed a high tolerance from all the competitions we had held.

"Not bad at all. But I'm starving. Anything eatable in the fridge? Or should we order pizza?"

"PIZZA! No doubt." Luisa burst out, blushing even more. Maybe she was just intimidated by me. That's why she was so shy. I should just put on the usual charm. But no flirting. I know how jealous Niall can get.

"Where are the others?" I asked, planting my ass on a chair. By the state of the house, I knew Liam already had been up to clean. Mostly he did that after every party. Together with Kate, since she was a morning person. But he was no where to be seen, and no Louis and Zayn either. Or their respectable girlfriends.

"Liam and Sophia already left. Sophia wanted to go shopping. Louis will be back in a second, he was supposed to get Eleanor back. She has some exams coming up. And well... Zayn and Perrie are still barricaded in their room."

"Right..."

"Well, this is getting awkward. I'm going to grab a shower. Hopefully the pizza will be here when I'm done." Luisa placed a quick kiss on Niall's cheek, before departing. She still needed to get used to having us around.

"Have you been up to check on Kate? See how she's doing? She looked like shit yesterday. And she was really burning up."

"No I haven't, but I guess it's my time to service her, right?" I smiled. It wasn't really the best thing in the world, you know, holding back someone's hair when they are ill, or feeding them. But I would do that for Kate. I would do that for any girl I dated. I would even do it for my friends, if they needed me.

"You better. I'm sure as hell not going with a head like this."  Niall whined. I guess that was my cue.
