***Elizabeth's P.O.V.***

''Harry!'' I called from the kitchen. I knew he had a headache right now and everything, but Louis' state of mind was starting to concern me. Don't get me wrong, Louis is an awesome and hilarious guy, but his actions right now were starting to make me wonder.

''Yes?'' Harry said which caused me to jump. Even though I had called for him I hadn't expected him to be here so fast, and it didn't help that I was discreetly watching Louis through the living room doorway by leaning forward slightly. He had whispered the word in my ear when he said it and I felt shivers go down my spine knowing that he was so close.

''Is Louis... okay?'' I asked after turning to face him. His face was so close to mine, it would have been  uncomfortably close if part of me wasn't enjoying the closeness. I told myself that it was just because I was a people person and I was happy to have someone close by.

He looked at my lips as if trying to register what I just said and then they darted back up to my eyes, ''why?''

I took a glance back at the peculiar scene in front of me. Louis was petting a fake bird (at least I hope it's a fake bird) and talking to it as if it was a person. ''He's been talking to that thing for at least 10 minutes,'' I answered.

Harry took his eyes off of me and turned to look in Louis' direction, he sighed heavily and then stepped out into the open. ''Louis, why did you bring Kevin?'' Harry asked with an amused tone in his voice. Louis seemed to jump in surprise but managed to hide the bird behind his back.

''I don't know what you're talking about, mate,'' Louis said with a serious expression on his face.

Harry stepped closer to the couch that Louis was sitting on, and held out his hand, ''Louis, you know I don't like competition, and the last times you talked to Kevin you had your hands all over him.'' I giggled slightly at the silliness of the boys and watched as Harry stepped closer.

''I think your jealousy is clouding your judgment Hazza, I did not have Kevin with me in this last moment,'' Louis said matter-of-factly.

Harry stepped closer to him and tried to look behind Louis' back, ''than why wont you show me your hands?''

Louis shifted slightly and then put his hands in front of Harry's face, ''ta-da!''

Harry smirked and then tackled Louis, making them tumble off of the couch and onto the floor in front of the door. I couldn't help but double over with laughter as their grunts traveled through the room. ''Just give me Kevin!'' Harry commanded once he was in the position of control.

''Never!'' Louis shouted as he struggled to get the advantage in their little wrestling match. Harry managed to grab the bird and run from Louis' grasp and into the kitchen where I was bent over from laughter. ''No!'' Louis mock cried, ''Kevin!'' I watched as he rolled around on the floor blubbering like a child.

''I'm only doing this because I love you!'' Harry exclaimed. He walked out of sight with the bird and then came back with out it. When he saw my position and heard my loud laughter he smirked and walked over to me. Louis' fake sobs were still coming from the ling room and I shook my head as I wiped away the tears that came with my intense laughter. ''Are you okay, love?'' he asked me with his smirk still mounted on his face.

My heart sped up a little when he called me 'love', but I ignored it, ''yeah, that was hilarious.'' I remembered that Harry had a headache and I looked at him for a moment, he didn't look like someone with a headache. ''Are you okay?'' I asked.

''What do you mean, love?'' he questioned. I swear my knees went weak when he said it that time and the flip of his curls combined with his entrancing accent didn't help.

''I thought you had a headache,'' I said. I went back to the counter where I had been chopping up various vegetables before the whole 'Kevin' thing happened. I thought making the dinner would be a nice way to say thank you to Harry for all he's done for me today.

''Oh, yeah, I'm feeling a lot better now,'' he said with a nervous type of chuckle.

I nodded as I continued to chop a carrot, ''so I see.'' I looked down at the amount of food I had prepared and then turned to look at Harry. ''What are the other boys doing tonight?'' I asked him. 

He tapped his chin thoughtfully, ''nothing, I think. Why?''

''Well, seeing as you no longer have a headache, and I made enough food to feed an army, I was thinking they might be able to come over and have dinner with us,'' I suggested.

His eyebrows scrunched together as he thought about my proposal and I held my breath slightly, ''I guess that'd be okay.'' I breathed out and he smiled at my reaction. When I turned back around to continue chopping the vegetables I heard him fish out his phone from his pocket and then he left the room. By the time he came back I was starting to cook the chicken. ''You didn't have to cook,'' he told me.

''I wanted to,'' I said with a smile. He looked down at the food and went to grab a piece of corn from the vegetables but I smacked his hand away. ''Wait,'' I instructed him. He pouted and I almost caved. Almost. I stuck my tongue out at him and he smiled slightly. My heart fluttered at the sight of his dimples and I mentally slapped myself for all these weird feelings I was having. Harry was my friend now, nothing more.

As I prepared the dinner I heard the door open and close and Zayn walked in carrying what looked like a DVD box in his hand. ''Vas happenin'?'' he asked excitedly as he walked over to Harry and hugged him. Zayn smiled at me and I waved happily.

''What's the movie for?'' I asked.

He looked down at the box in his hand and then smiled, ''Harry told me to bring it.''

I looked at Harry expectantly until he answered my unvoiced question, ''they all said they had nothing to do tonight, and we have to go do some recording tomorrow afternoon so I figured that they could stay the night.''

I nodded and turned back to the cooking, ''what movie is it?''

''Grease,'' Zayn answered.

Harry groaned, ''not again.''

''You cant beat a classic,'' Zayn chuckled.

Harry sighed and then turned towards the living room door. Louis was still on the floor, not drying but just sitting there looking at the TV. ''Boo-Bear!'' Harry called and I smiled, ''come out here, we have company.''

''Tell me where Kevin is!'' Louis demanded.

Harry smirked, ''no!''

''Than I'm not going anywhere!'' Louis stated. Harry walked to the living room and then, after a few shouts of protest, Harry dragged Louis into the kitchen. I didn't know whether to thank God for bringing me to this group of boys, or to wonder what I had gotten myself into. I could only wonder what having all five of them in one house was like, and I guess I was about to find out. Yay for me! All I could say for sure was that whatever happened, it would definitely be interesting.

Hey, so since I'm going to be gone for a while I thought I might as well tell you what you'll have to look forward to in the next chapter. It's in Harry's P.O.V. and let's just say there's going to be some more irrational jealousy. I mean what does Harry expect when he has a friend who is undeniably adorable and lets that friend near his crush? I wont tell you who that friend is though... Also to come, Harry figures out the reason for Elizabeth's pureness.

I'm sad that I cant write for a while, but I need to finish this research paper... so sacrifices must be made. Until next time:
