Harry, Liam and Niall made their way into the gigantic stadium, looking around them as they followed their new security down a large wide corridor. They were led to what they assumed where lounge areas where rugby and football players relaxed before and after their matches. Their three security stopped in front of a door with a metal label stuck in the middle of it that said VIP Lounge. One of them pushed the door open and he allowed them to walk in, then they followed behind and closed the door.

They stepped into a large room with couches, large plasma TV's, hanging up in the corners and tables with refreshments on them. Harry noticed that Zayn and Louis where there already, along with Louis' mates Calvin, Stan and Oli, sprawled on the couches, laughing and drinking beer. They are always hanging around him but Louis loves them so Harry accepts them. He also noticed, to his horror, that Eleanor was sitting on Louis lap, her arm draped around his shoulders and his arm was around her waist. Harry's eyes took in that close, intimate contact with the realization that there were no paps or media in here, therefore there was no reason why Eleanor should be sitting on his lap. And furthermore, why was even Louis letting her sit on his lap and hold him like that?

Looking at him, Harry realized also that Louis no longer look pissed like he did a few hours ago. He was laughing and drinking with Zayn and his mates and holding Eleanor in his damn lap! Eleanor turned her head slowly and her eyes met Harry's. She curved her lips into a small, smug smile that made Harry's insides twist. She kept her eyes locked into his and that smile on her lips and Harry knew that she knew something he didn't.

Louis and Zayn turned their heads in their direction simultaneously towards them. 'Hey,' Zayn greeted them, 'about time you three got here. We thought you got lost or something in this big ass stadium.' Liam and Niall flopped down on a couch opposite them and started talking but Harry remained rooted by the door.

His eyes met Louis' for a brief second but Louis quickly turned his attention back to something Calvin was saying while Eleanor still sat in his lap and played with his hair and his arm was still securely wrapped around her waist. Harry felt confused and couldn't understand what was going on here. If he was the one doing that, Louis would have his head. Literally!

He made himself move and crossed the room to sit down beside Niall who was laughing loudly as usual and slapping Zayn on the back as he leaned across the small space between the couches while Zayn shrugged and told him to fuck off! Harry looked at Louis but Louis was not looking at him. He was teasing Oli about something, making Cal and Stan laugh out loud. He watched as Eleanor bent closer to Louis' ear, whispered something to him and he threw his head back and laughed loudly...his eye crinkling laugh! Harry looked on bewildered.

'Haz hey did you hear me?' Niall asked him. Harry blinked and looked at him, tearing his eyes away from the "couple" in front of him. What upset him the most was that Louis was totally ignoring him and was more interested in Eleanor! He never did that before. He always always gave Harry his attention.

'What?' he asked Niall. Niall clapped him on the back.
