disclaimer:
i've never heard anything wrong with katie (harry's ex) but needed a plot for this chapter! she may be really nice idk so this is all made up.




"please please please come to the party tonight!" chris begged the girl in front of him.

it was a few hours later, after a long chat about the past and familiarising themselves with each other again, ivory and chris were now talking about what they had planned for the evening.

"chris i just want to stay in and have an early night," the girl sighed. that has been her plan since she woke up this morning and has no intention of changing it.

"chris she doesn't have to if she doesn't want to." arthur piped up as the girl gave him a small smile to show her appreciation.

"thank you arthur!" she turned back to chris who just rolled his eyes at the pair. "at least someone cares." she smiles.

"just come for half an hour, i have a surprise," he replied as the girl shook her head, standing up from the barstool.

she began to walk towards the door as chris quickly ran to stop her. "don't even try it, nothing in the world co-"

"harry is going." he says, interrupting her as her eyes widened. "yes harry lewis before you ask."

ivory of course knew harry from chris' old jersey vs guernsey videos, and they got on like a house on fire. they were practically two peas in a pod, one was never seen without the other in either guernsey or jersey.

to a normal person, you would have thought they were a couple, however they merely had a brother/sister bond that couldn't be broken.

well that was until she moved to nottingham at 18 to train and be a midwife, then to birmingham once she was qualified to work in the women's hospital.

once ivory started growing on social media, she quit as a midwife as her patients started recognising her and she was earning a decent wage from mainly youtube.

the last ivory heard of harry was when he and katie broke up, much to her relief? possibly?

ivory and katie hate each other and honestly ivory just thought katie was jealous at how close her and harry were. baring in mind ivory never ever had romantic feelings for harry.

ivory never wanted to get in the way either, she genuinely told harry that she wouldn't mind if they stopped speaking due to katie - which harry immediately shut down.

"seriously?" the girl asked as chris nodded his head and she hugged him. "fucking hell i love you so much chris for not letting me walk out the door!"

chris laughed loudly and shook his head. "just because you're in love with him!"

upon hearing this, a wave of jealousy went through arthur. he didn't have a crush on her so he had no idea why he was feeling this was over ivy liking another guy.

"i am not! he's like a brother to me!" she replied, smacking him lightly.

arthur let out a sigh of relief, which didn't go unnoticed by a certain george clarke who only smirked at his poor friend.

"incest then fucking hell that's not a pretty colour on you." chris laughed as ivorys jaw dropped.

"that rumour was a lie made up by katie, i didn't fuck her man. god i hated her!" ivory sighs and runs a hand through her hair in frustration. "remember the rumour katie then made up about us?"

"don't remind me." chris shakes his head and pinches the bridge of his nose.

"exactly she made me out to be a slut quite frankly, maybe i am but there's no need to point it out." chris laughs at her statement and shakes his head.

"i'm sure you're not a slut." arthur pipes up yet again as she looks at him and laughs, walking over and sitting next to him 

"no i probably am but oh well!" she smiles and leans back on the sofa. "i am more famous than her now anyway so see whose laughing now!"

"yet harry lewis is the most famous harry you've ever met." chris says sitting next to her, and wrapping an arm around the back of the sofa, much to arthur's dismay.

"no but ok." she smiles as chris looks at her confused. "what?"

"who have you met?" chris asks, genuinely curious.

"mr styles." she smiles and chris rolls his eyes and groans.

"going to a harry styles concert doesn't count." he shakes his head at her as she smiles widely at his stupidity.

"chris i have his number, we're like good friends," she smiles as he immediately sits up looking at the girl confused.

as ivory has grown in popularity, she has become friends with many famous individuals. from having lunch with phoebe waller-bridge and andrew scott (if you know, you know!) to taylor swifts fourth of july party she knew her fair share of celebrities.

"how the fuck do you have his number?" george says this time and she laughs, as arthur hill walks through the front door.

"through taylor." she smiles. "hi i'm ivory or ivy, you must be arthur. sorry i've just blown your friends minds." she smiles as arthur hill waves.

"taylor?" chris asks, not wanting to jump ahead but sort of knowing where she was going.

"swift, yeah i met harry at the grammys when i went with taylor to the after party. i met taylor at a shop in 2019 and we became friends." she smiles as all the men looked at her shocked.

"why are you acting so casual about being friends with harry styles and taylor swift?" arthur pipes up and she shrugs.

"because it mainly was casual."

"the fuck do you mean mainly?" chris asked her as she laughed.

"can't say, anyway i will be at your party tonight for like an hour tops because i've got stuff to do tomorrow morning." she smiles and gets up from the sofa.

"like what?" chris asks.

"harry's in london, he was with stevie nicks last night so we're grabbing coffee. so if there's any dating rumours tomorrow, it's false." she walks to the door

"you're telling me if he offered you wouldn't?" george asks. "because he's one sexy man."

ivory laughs very loudly at this and shakes her head. "no he's not nerdy enough for me." she shrugs and walks out the door, closing it behind her.

and at that arthur smiles, again not going unnoticed by george.

"arthur motherfucking frederick you like her!" george says just as she leaves the apartment.

this got the attention of chris who looked at the poor boy. "no please arthur, say george is joking!" he practically begs.

"i don't like her, she's just very pretty." arthur shrugs, looking between the juxtaposed pair. george being overjoyed and chris... well...

"arthur out of all the girls you fall for ivy? arthur you can't do this!" chris protests as arthur only looks at him confused.

"why not?" arthur questions, wanting to know what is so bad about her.

"i love ivy, but she does go through partners like there's no tomorrow. i don't know if she'll ever settle down, and you want to settle down. she overthinks every relationship and breaks up with them after only a few months because she gets cold feet. she's so scared of commitment arthur and i don't want you getting hurt." chris explains which only causes arthur to shrug.

"so? i just won't let her break up with me. i'll persist!"
