So this chapter just up and deleted itself so sorry it took me little bit to update!! 

LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH THOUGH! I went to bed last night and then woke up and had over 100 somethin new reads and I was so happy! :)

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!!

"Louis stop playing with the damn keys!! Eleanor, get them from him!" I shout, my hands on my hips in protest. I pull my coat closer around me, searching for any warmth as I continue to scowl at the bickering couple. 

"AHJFOSDJD PUT ME DOWNNN!!" Warm hands hold my legs tight as I'm carried fire fighter style into Walmart. Liam laughs beneath me and I wrap my arms around his waist. No way in hell I gonna let this kid drop me on my face. I can feel his abbs through his flannel shirt and light jacket; it makes my heart flutter even faster than it was already.

"Guys!" Lauren begins to whine, Zayn raising an eyebrow at her as he chuckles. "You're gonna get us kicked out and we only just got here!!!"

"You say it like it's a bad thing." Harry smirks at me and his face looks even cuter from upside down. Lord take me now. Li settles me slowly back onto the ground and I do a count to make sure we didn't lose anybody in the treachorous journey from the parking lot into the store. 

"Now, we're hear on a mission! Soo...I'll get the best ham I can find and you guys uhhh don't kill yourselves?" They all nod in agreement with me and I sprint off towards the frozen section. Tell me they atleast have some sort of name brand ham. Hahaha it's like it's clothes almost...

"Wait up..!" Harry calls and I slow my pace just a tiny bit for him. I rub my arm nervouisly and he gives me a comforting smile. "I'll protect you, love, and Liam's got the rest of em under control." He knows how much this place bugs me.

"Thanks.." I sigh through the reply, my lips forming a smile as we reach the sign "Quality Hams HERE!" As if..I suppress a laugh and begin searching the air conditioned shelves. Harry watches me with amusement and I want to tell him to buzz off but I think I'd miss his warm gaze.

My nose scrunches subconsciously as I choose the beast frozen chunk of meat. Louis owes me a big fat quality ham for my birthday now. Hell, that doesn't count as a birthday gift, let's make it next week.

"Have fun?" He smirks, and I slap his arm good-heartedly. I feel Harry's large hand on the small of my back, guiding me, and I know the heat rising to my face is noticeable. Blame it on the cold. 

"A lot." I wink back at him, stopping by the check out to wait for our group to resurface. Loud giggles and squeals slowly begin to get louder and I know they must be only an isle or two away. 

"They're such high maintenance." Harry jokes, but it's true all the same. He rests his head on top of mine and I smile at my feet. 

"And you're not?" I grumble back, earning a laugh as Louis appears. He's being dragged by an almost drunk looking El , making me wonder all that could've happened in the short time we were choosing a new ham. Niall and Em carry giant bouncy balls and matching childish grins while Lauren and Zayn seem to be the supervisors.

"Let's get this show on the road." Zayn says, his eyes trying to tell me something. I plop the ham I'd been cradling onto the moving belt and wait for Niall and Em to follow suite with their toys. I figure it's not worth the fight to get them to put em back.

"I think we've been spotted." Harry whispers in my ear and I realize Liam's nowhere to be found. I scowl at the deserted isles before he comes into veiw. 

He's walking with a pretty young thing. Our age, maybe a little older. Her long brown hair is curled to perfection and her makeup matches. She smiles at us and I wonder if this is worth getting a Walmart ham for. Blue and eyes, freckles, and shining white teeth. Good god, she was the definition of perfect to a T.
