I just want to clarify that in this book Harry hasn't made the song "Fine Line" yet. At some point he will and it will make sense in the story.


"Are you gonna make a decision?" James asks. We have been standing here, staring at each other for what feels like hours but probably only for just a minute or two. I'm the first one to find a lectern to stand behind but I am refusing. 

I really don't want to play one of James stupid games. 

"Oh! I think I know why!" He laughs with a cocky smile on his face. "You're scared!" 

"No?" I almost ask while giving him at face that says 'do you think I'm stupid?'. I already have a tattoo. To be fair he doesn't know that a have a tattoo since it's on a part on my body he doesn't really see. 

I let out a sigh and shake my head. "Fine! I'll choose one, you happy?" I send him a fake smile and starts to walk towards the lecterns. 

Should I pick the one to the left? - Definitely not. 

James wants me to think that the one with the tattoo is the middle one, but I'm not falling for it. I'm trusting my gut and standing behind the lectern in the middle. 

"Are you sure?" He asks teasingly. 

I nod and put my right hand in the air making the YOLO sign with my fingers. Harry burst into a laugh and James joins him.

"Alright, then I'll choose the left one." James says while walking beside me. "I'm actually getting a little nervous right now." He states and takes a look at me with big eyes. 

"Do you wanna switch little boy?" I ask with a smirk on my lips. He immediately shakes his head trying to make me nervous. But yet again I won't fall for it. 

We are only waiting for Harry but he doesn't really have choice to make. He beets me to it as he within seconds places his body right behind the last lectern. 

"Really hard decision." Harry states, trying to look serious. Everyone in the bar starts to laugh. Me and James included. I get why James likes to hang out with Harry, he's a funny guy. And to get along with James you kinda need to be fun to be around. 

The light at the stage starts to darken. We are probably going to start the game now. 

"We are starting from the left to the right, which makes me the first one. Exciting!" James says while he makes a surprised face. 

The spotlight above him turn red and some thrilling music starts to play in background. James takes his hands on the black box that lays on the lectern in front of him. He looks at me, then at Harry and lastly on the audience. He opens the lock on the box and before I know the box is open and a sound from a horn plays out. 

I look at his box that says 'Safe' and I can not believe it. "So not fair!" I yell at him. 

James face light up in a smile with a defeaded look in his eyes. He takes his right hand to his forehead and makes an 'L' with his thumb a ring finger. 

He can be a loser.. 

"Harry." I whisper to get Harrys attention. I call a few times before he hear me. In the mean time James keeps on talking about him not getting a tattoo. - Good for him.

"Can we switch?" I cros my fingers, praying to God or the Devil for that sake. I'm taking no chances. I will not lose this game. 

Harry nods and that really takes me off guard. I didn't really count on him agreeing but I'll take it. I whisper a silent thank you.
