My alarm wakes me up from my slumber. I rush out of bed and check the time, 9 am. I've got loads of time before the party tonight but I'm already nervous. I decide on taking a shower, I step inside and turn on the water allowing it to engulf me. Having a shower always calms me down, I stay in the shower for 15 minutes. I wash my hair and body before wrapping a towel around my body and grabbing another towel to wrap around my hair. After drying my hair and brushing my teeth I walk into my room and put some leggings on and a jumper. I will lounge about in these clothes until it's time to get ready.

I walk downstairs, I think my family is still asleep so I decide on having some cereal. I grab my favourite cereal from the cupboard and pour it into a bowl along with some milk. I also pour myself a cup of water before heading to the living room. I turn on the tv and re-watch friends for the hundredth time. The next time I look at the time, it's already 3. Wow today has flew by. I look outside the window and see my father and brother training. I didn't even hear them walk by. I shrug and make my way up the stairs.

I got a text from Harry asking if he could drop by a little earlier than 6:30 so we could hang out for a little while and I said that's fine. I ran up the stairs and turned on my curler. I like it when my hair is curly, I don't know why I just do. I then get dressed, I put the top and shirt on that I bought yesterday along with black high wasted jeans and my slip on black vans. I check the time again and it's 5:45, my father and Cam just left. I'm in the middle of doing my makeup and Harry should be here soon.

It's 6:10 and I hear a knock at the door, I run downstairs and rush to open the door. I swing it open and I'm greeted with Harry's beautiful smile.

"Hi." He says and opens his arms to hug me, I hug him back, "Hi Harry." I smile. I open the door wider so he can walk in and he walks straight to the couch and sits down. I walk over and sit across from him on one of the comfy chairs.

"You look beautiful Gen." He compliments and I feel my cheeks heat up. I lock eye contact with him, "So do you Harry." I smile and he chuckles.

"How long have you known Tate?" I ask.

"Not too long, he's in one of my classes and he spoke about having a party and said I could go. I didn't want to go alone so I invited the only person I actually like in that school..."

"Aww you like me." I smile.

He puts up his hand, "I wasn't finished babe, they couldn't go, so I invited you." He chuckles.

I pout, "You're mean." He laughs even louder.

"I'm joking. Yes Gen, I like you." He smiles.

"I like you too Harry." A lot.

We spoke for another 15 minutes and then it was time to go, I check my makeup in the mirror and then grab my phone. He opens the door and lets me go first, I thank him and lock the door before walking to his car. I hear him running behind me before he runs in front and opens the car door for me.

"What a gentleman." I laugh and he smiles and wiggles his eyebrows.

We both get into the car and he starts the engine. He turns on the radio and I look out the window. I feel so calm being with Harry right now. We chat the whole way there and I sing along to all the songs that come on. Harry just rolled his eyes and laughed every single time. I asked him why he wasn't singing with me and he said he doesn't sing.

He pulls up to a huge house, there are about a hundred people in the front garden, all of them are drunk. There are cups and bottles scattered across the floor everywhere. We get out of the car and Harry walks around and takes my hand into his. His hands are so warm and his touch sends electricity through my body. He leads me to the front door and we walk inside. I can see why he held my hand because that's the only thing keeping me from losing him in the huge crowd of people. We walk to the kitchen as it's the least crowded place in this house.

"Would you like a drink?" Harry asks and I shake my head.

"Not right now, can I please have some water?" I ask and he nods and grabs a cup, filling it with water. He hands it to me and I thank him. I can barely hear myself think, the music is so loud.

"Are you going to drink?"

"No, I'm driving you home." He smiles and I nod.

"Harry! Glad you came." A guy walks up to Harry, he's tall but not as tall as Harry. He has blonde hair and brown eyes, he has a drink in one hand and a bottle in the other. He puts the bottle down and pats Harry on the back and Harry nods.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world Tate." He sarcastically remarks and I giggle.

"Ayy lighten up big guy, who's this?" He asks and looks at me.

"Uh..." I say but nothing comes out. Why am I so awkward?

"This is Genevieve, she's one of my good friends." He smiles.

I don't know why but when he said I'm one of his good friends, my heart froze for a second. We aren't anything more than that even though I wish we were. So I don't know why I expected him to introduce me any differently.

"You're hot." Tate says and my cheeks heat up. Before I can say anything Harry takes my arm and pulls me away from Tate. He didn't pull me hard but hard enough to move me away.

What was that all about? Harry rolls his eyes and crosses his arms over his chest, "He better not say anything like that to you again." He huffs and I laugh.

"Aw, is Harry jealous?" I tease and he smirks.

"Let's go to the living room." He says and turns on his heels to walk the opposite way, I follow behind, he sits on the couch and I sit next to him. A few drunken guys make their way over to us and Harry drapes his arm over my shoulders and pulls me closer to him.

"Hey baby, want to come and drink with us?" One of the guys say and looks at me. I turn to look at Harry and his eyes are black, if looks could kill, that guy would be dead.

"Fuck off Theo." Harry says to the guy who's name is Theo. Harry's jaw is clenched.

"What's the matter Harry? Did you miss me?" Theo asks.

"No, I was hoping to never see you again. What are you even doing here?"

"I'm just having fun, are you here to kill another Ar..." before he can finish, Harry's fist collides with Theo's face, Theo falls to the floor and Harry is on top of him.

I gasp, "Harry!" I shout, tears start welling up.

Harry's fist keeps hitting against Theo's face, Theo managed to get a few hits but not as many as Harry.

"I fucking told you to leave me alone." Harry growls.

Two guys pull Harry off, I run over to him and wrap my arms around him, his chest is rising and falling quickly.

"You can't get rid of me that easy Harry." Theo spits and walks away.

I look up at Harry, his eye is blood shot and a bruise surrounds it, his lip is cut, not too deep but deep enough for blood to seep through.
I brush my thumb over his lip to wipe away the blood, he winces.

I look at him apologetically, "Sorry."

"Let's go babe." He takes my hand and leads me to the car.

What just happened there?

It all happened so quickly, what did Theo mean?

I need to ask Harry but not yet, I think he's still too angry and I'm afraid he might get more annoyed.

---A/N
Wow what happened there? Clearly Theo and Harry aren't big fans of each other.
