Louis' POV

The bartender handed Niall and I our fifth round of shots. The boys and I decided to ditch Harry and his fake persona by instead going to a nearby pub in order to at least end the night on a good note.

"And here's to, to- to one less fake friend," I slurred my words and let the alcohol burn down my throat. While under the influence, my brain was flashing images of Harry and the intimates moments that we've shared. I shake my head trying to forget and keep the thoughts of Harry locked away. I never thought I would be placed in this position. I always knew Harry wasn't exactly fond of Eleanor, but he knew that she was just a beard, nothing more, nothing less.

"That's right, man. We don't need any... any fakers. Long as we got each other, we're good," Niall stumbled over his words. He's clearly had way more to drink than I had. Besides, he looked like he was ready to pass out any minute. He raised his small glass in the air and threw his head back, letting the substance poison his body once more.

"Liam, buddy, come over here," I called out to Liam. Liam turns around from his stool and notices my appearance. "I think you've had enough, Louis," Liam said full of concern while telling the bartender to cut me off. "You know, Liam," I say dragging out his name, "you really do play up to that daddy directioner role," I smirk. "Louis, that's not even a thing anymore. That was like five years ago," he replied but I ignored him and continued, "Niall, over there, he's the one you should really be cutting off," I tried to reason, "go look after him. I can take care of myself. Liam, I'm a big boy."

Liam chuckled, "Yeah, yeah, Louis you're drunk." Before he could say anything else, I laugh at his silly remark and cut him off by responding sarcastically, "No shit, Liam." Liam rolls his eyes and looks over at Niall, "I think you lads have had enough. I'm going to go find Zayn. Do you guys think you can manage to stay out of trouble while I'm gone?"

"Go, I'm not stopping you," and I shoo him away. As soon as he leaves, a blonde woman makes her way towards me. "Anybody sitting here?" she asks pointing to the seat Liam was just in. Before I give her a response, I check her out, not because I'm interested, but because I want to make sure it's not anyone crazy.

"All yours," I answer as I returned to facing the bar. Just as I was about to order another drink, I remembered that Liam told the bartender to stop serving me drinks. "Bloody hell," I whisper to myself, but apparently loud enough for the girl next to me to hear. "Cut off?" she questions. "Yeah, something like that," I respond in annoyance. Getting impatient and still wanting a drink, I look around to see if Liam is around.

As I'm scanning the room for Liam I hear the girl try to sweet talk the bartender, "How about a Gin and Tonic for the babe over there," and she makes eye contact with me. "Sorry, miss but I've been ordered to not serve him anymore," he rejects her. Casually, she slips him a twenty, "You sure about that?" and she bites her bottom lip seductively. The bartender easily gives in and I let out a small laugh.

"What was that for?" I cheekily ask. "Nothing," she grins, "just looked like you really needed a drink." The bartender hands me my Gin and Tonic, "Why thank you," and I take a sip. "Now," I charm the girl, "how may I ever repay you?" The girl lets out a small, annoying, giggle. "Well," she pretends to think about it, "I think a kiss might just do the trick." As soon as those words slipped out of her mouth, she goes straight for my lips and I'm shocked. She notices that I didn't kiss back and furrows her eyebrows in confusion, "Is something wrong?" I blink a couple of times trying to process what had just happened. She looks at me expectantly, waiting for an answer, but I had no idea what to say. The longer I stayed quiet, the more awkward it got.

"Louis, there you are," Liam's voice breaks the uncomfortable silence, saving me from my misery. My head turns towards him and I stifle a laugh as I see Liam who, with the help of a somewhat tipsy Zayn, was dragging along a passed out Niall. "I thought I told you no more drinking," he said with a frown. "I was just about done," I said stumbling a bit as I made my way to him. "Good, then let's go." Together we dragged Niall out of the pub and Liam hailed a cab at the corner.

The cab came to a stop and after a few minutes of struggling with Niall, he managed to get him inside the car. I was just about to go in when I heard a feminine voice yell out, "Wait!". I turn around and face the woman who was sitting next to me at the bar. "I'm Harvey, by the way. I never got your name. What is it?" You've got to be kidding me, "Seriously?" and without looking back or waiting for her response, I get inside the cab. Liam follows behind and closes the door in her face.

While Liam is telling the driver the address to our hotel, all of our phones go off at the same time. Looking around, slightly baffled as to how weird it was for our phones to be ringing simultaneously, I take my phone out of my pocket to check the message.

"Liam, Niall, Louis, and Zayn, uh-oh, where's little H? Looks like poor Harry wasn't included on a night out with his 'friends'. Where could he possibly be? Looks like he's not being missed, anyways. With Louis snogging a random chick, Zayn and Niall taking shots like there's no tomorrow, leaving Liam alone to fend for himself and mingle with some other mates, seems like the boys are doing just fine without Harry around. Maybe it's for the best. Until next time, xoxo - Gossip Girl".

A/N: That was chapter 7 everyone! Let's clarify a few things. So this chapter took place on the same night as Louis and Harry's argument, this was just Louis' POV. Also, because it takes place later in the night and into midnight, that's why the title of this chapter is "2 Days Before - March 23, 2015" and not a continuation of March 22nd. The next chapter will be posted on Tuesday, August 18th! Unfortunately, Alex, one of the co-writers, will be vacationing in Cancun for the next ten days (August 17-27th), so only one of us will be updating. Updates may be a bit slower, you have been warned. Be sure to comment, follow, vote, and all the good stuff because it truly motivates us to continue writing. All the love, -S&A.
