OH MY GOSH IT'S BEEN SO LONG I'VE BEEN SO BUSY AND MY MENTAL HEALTH HASN'T BEEN GREAT I'M SO SORRY I WILL BE UPDATING AGAIN REGULARLY

"I'm sorry, who is this?"

"Don't pull that crap, Harry," Jo says in that sickeningly sweet voice of hers, and he grimaces at the sound of her smacking her gum. "You know exactly who it is. Miss me?"

Harry scoffs, but doesn't respond, heading over to Eloise's pantry and grabbing a bag of chips. His friends are going to be here soon, and he would rather not be in an upset mood when they get here. "What do you want?"

"Oh, someone's got a bit of an attitude. I wasn't the one who said they would call me, never did, and then left their hotel so I couldn't find them anymore, now was I?"

"It's literally been a month since I left. And besides, I wasn't the one who cheated," Harry growled.

"What? C-cheated? Harbear, I would never-"

"Save it. Besides I met my real soulmate, and he is so much better to me than you ever were." He pours the chips into a bowl, sets it on the coffee table, and rummages through the fridge for some sodas.

Jo laughs loudly, startling Harry slightly. His patience is running thin, and he's about ready to block this girl's number. Honestly, that's what he should of done the moment he discovered she was playing him. "He? You're dating a boy? Wow, okay. I'm glad I hooked up with Scott then. It saved me the trouble of hooking up with someone who was actually a disgusting, sinful human being without knowing. That's positively revolting, really. I might throw up. But know that this boy will never be as good as I would've been. Your loss, Harry Styles."

"Don't say I'm sinful when you go around spreading your legs for every man you run into, whether or not he's three times your age. I really don't care about your opinion, Jo. Have a nice life, don't get an STD. Or do. I don't care." Harry hangs up before he can hear her response, shutting the fridge, and setting his elbows on the counter, his head in his hands.

Eloise comes skipping into the room, a pile of board games in her hand since she really can't do much else. Her phone rests on top of it, Kat's voice coming through the speakers. "Okay, so I got Twister, Sorry, and Jenga because  - hey, are you okay?"

Harry shakes his head, looking over at his friend.

"Hey Kitty Kat, I'm gonna have to call you back. Harry's got some issues, per usual, that I have to sort out."

"Alright, Sunshine. I'll call you later. Have fun with your friends, Darling."

She hops up onto the counter, swinging her legs back and forth. "Hey."

"Aloha," he grumbles.

Pulling his hands away from his face, she leans forward and cocks her head to the side, just staring at him. He raises an eyebrow questioningly. "I have a diagnosis. You're pissed off."

"No shit, Sherlock."

Eloise shoves him a little too roughly, resulting in him loosing his balance and falling to the floor. "Hey now, don't go getting a concussion like me. So, what pissed you off?" Her eyes suddenly widen. "You and Louis didn't get in a fight, did you? My ship isn't sinking, right? Oh no, I've gotta call Kat and Niall and fix this mess. My ship can't go down." She scrambles off of the counter, practically tripping over chairs in order to reach her phone.

"What? No! Louis is still as perfect as ever."

"You mean your relationship is still as perfect as ever?"

"Well, yeah. Same thing."

She visibly relaxes and opens a can of soda, taking a small sip. "Are you gonna tell me what angered you, or do I have to play the guessing game?"
