Gillian POV

We weren't going to go celebrate because that would be too obvious. But we all drove home. The newly weds made out in the back and I sat smiling with Liam driving. No one knew about Zayn and Jade. Not management. Not their parents. Not even the other boys. I had asked her that morning of if it was a good idea and each time she would convince me that it was.

It was late afternoon and we didn't know what to do. My phone rang in my pocket and I answered as I waved my arm back to get them to stop. "Hey Niall" and I could practically hear Liam roll his eyes. They weren't on the best of terms. "Hey Gill. Can you guys come to your apartment in an hour? I've phoned everyone else except I couldn't get a hold of Zayn or Jade. Can you try to phone them?" I told him I would for sure and tried to not sound worried. How could we not give this away?

We arrived back at our building and all promised in the lift that we wouldn't talk about it and that we would just act normal. Then I looked Down. "we're still all dressed up." the panic in my voice was mirrored by everyone's expressions. "crap. Okay. Who's apartment is closest? Mine?" Liam asked quickly and devised a plan, that was basically just to run.

We ran and said a quick hello to Maz who was in the hall as we entered the boys apartment. I threw some clothes to Jade as Liam did the same to Zayn. They changed in the bathroom. Liam and I went in our room but I decided to go into the bathroom after. I still wasn't comfortable with what I looked like. I had lost weight due to not eating while I was... and still hadn't gained it back. I could tell Liam was a little.. Disappointed?

But that didn't matter right now.

We were all in tshirts and jeans and I could tell Liam really didn't want to go. He and Niall hadn't talked in probably three months and I knew it killed him inside. Zayn knocked on the door, which probably was odd because we all usually just walked in. Maybe we were all growing apart after all...

I took Liam's hand as Niall opened the door. I knew they were both nervous but Niall and Sarah were the only ones who really knew about why we were all here. I walked in last of the four and I met everyone else, except Harry. Sami sat staring at her phone and she just looked sick. Sofie was talking to Maz on the couch. They were cute together, and it made me remember what her and Harry used to be like. Moriah sat with a few books in her lap with Louis by her side who looked stressed. I knew it was because of his sister.

We sat down on the kitchen stools that faced the living room. Niall and Sarah stood in front of all of us.

Sofie POV

"well, we have over a month until the wedding. And we brought you guys here tonight for a reason." Niall began as he stared at his hands. Sarah stood there quietly beside him, half smiling. I was so excited about the wedding. Niall continued. "first off. I'm sorry. I was a real dick. I shouldn't have said the things I did, and I didn't mean it. I think my emotions got the best of me. And it was wrong to get so upset and take it out on you guys. And Liam. I'm sorry man." he looked at Liam who smiled back at him and laughed a bit.

"I should say sorry too. I think we were all being ridiculous." Liam said we all agreed. It was nice, being all together. Well, except Harry. Which I wasn't sure if I was happy about or not. Although Maz was here and he seemed much better than Harry was right now. My thoughts about a drunk Harry were interrupted by none other than the drunk Harry himself. He stumbled in.

It was about five o'clock.

"sorry I'm late guys... " he slurred. I rolled my eyes and Maz sat a little closer. I was glad he was here. He helped me a lot actually, he was a great friend. "and where were you?" Moriah asked bitterly. They weren't on the best of terms either. As far as I knew, because we hadn't talked, Moriah and I. Maybe we were all growing apart....

Harry looked at me and his face turned a little red. I hadn't seen him in a long time. He got really quiet and looked at his hands. "on another date handsome?" Liam glared at him and asked in a sickinly sweet voice. Wait. Was he dating someone? Did Liam know something I didn't? "with who?" Sami asked because she knew I wouldn't.

"Uh... T--" and then he stopped himself. I felt my heart hit the bottom of my stomach. My head automatically hurt. He was dating her? It was all over twitter but I mean, so was the drama with Sami and Nathan and that was completely fake. I felt my face flush and my palms sweat. I was furious. I stood up.

"Niall and Sarah. I'm excited that you're getting married and I'm honored to be there but I'm afraid I have to go." I tried not to cry in front of everyone.

As I walked out I felt someone take my hand.

"I'm coming with you"

"thanks Maz"
