HARRY'S P.O.V

We all ended up coming over to mine and Lou's flat for a movie night. All of us excluding Liam, who needed some space and Lauren and Zayn, who were told by Simon to pick up 5sos from the airport. It was roughly 5 in the afternoon as Louis, Camila, Ally, Dinah, Normani, Niall and I sat in our living room. Louis was busy taking out random movies from the cabinets with the help of Ally while Camila and Dinah were giggling about something on the couch. Probably the fact that Louis and Ally would make one of the cutest couples ever. I smiled at the thought as I heard Louis softly laugh with Ally. Finally Louis can find someone after Eleanor. Then, my gaze fell back to Camila. Oh, Camila. Will she ever realize how much I actually care for her. Yea, sure I flirt with the other girls but like Camila... she's different. All of a sudden, Niall snapped me out of my thoughts. "Let's make the food!" He says as I followed him into the kitchen.

"So, what is it with you and Camila?" Asked Niall all of a sudden after grabbing three different flavoured pop corns from the shelf.
"I don't know." I replied flatly because that was the truth. I honestly don't know. But Niall didn't believe me.
"Harry! Don't lie to me!" He said, laughing lightly "I saw the way you were looking at her."
I mentally slapped myself for being too obvious but I just couldn't help myself. Then, I replied: "Well, what's the big deal? She's nice, kind, pretty. So what?"
"So... you like her. As in like like her."
"I like her but I don't love her."
"Whatever you say, mate." He concluded, pouring the popcorn into bowls as I took out several cans of pepsi from the fridge.

After a while, Niall and I came back to the living room.
"Who's ready for a movie night?" I called out, helping Niall set the food and drinks down.
"What are we watching?" Asked Dinah.
Smirking at each other, Louis and Ally pulled out two DVDs. "Ouija or Child's Play?" They asked in unison. Wow. I never thought Ally as the scary movie type.
"Child's Play!" Called out Camila.
"Yeah!" I blurt out without thinking. Ugh. Camila wasn't even my girlfriend yet i was so fricking whipped. Not that I want her to be my girlfriend. I mean she's cool. It would be fun though. But it would be awkward. But still awesome.
"Child's Play it is then" said Louis, inserting the DVD in the DVD Player.

ZAYN'S P.O.V

"Terminal 3, Gate 6" Lauren read from her phone. We were at Kingsford Smith Airport, waiting for the arrival of 5 Seconds of Summer from Melbourne. I nodded. Lauren and I were trusted by Simon to get 5sos with us, explain tomorrow's events and get them to their hotels and ready to rest. Lauren and I were both dressed in coloured hoodies, jeans and sunglasses to sort of disguise ourselves; that didn't stop our amazingly hardcore fans from recognizing us.

Suddenly, a crowd of screaming, teenage girls came running towards us with phones and notebooks and such. I heard Lauren silently cuss under her breath. Cameras then started flashing at us literally out of nowhere. Ugh. Here comes the paps. Without thinking, I grabbed Lauren's hand and attempted to somehow escape with her. We were swimming through a sea of fangirls. Some were understanding but some were just aggressive.

"Oh my god! I love you, Zayn!" I heard one girl say.
"Are you guys dating?'
"I ship them so bad!"
"Lauren! I love you and the girls so much!"
"Lauren! You're such a slut!"
I snapped my head towards the girl and gave her a disappointed look. But unlike me, Lauren didn't bother and simply gave her the finger as I laughed lightly. We began running quicker this time and fled into the fire exit and sat down at the stairs to regain our breaths.

"Gosh. I'm exhausted!" I said, slightly amused at my lack of energy. But Lauren was silent. She wasn't even panting or anything.

"Lauren?" I called, directing my attention to her. When I saw her, I was shocked at what sat before me. Lauren was in the extremity of tears. She began sobbing quietly. What the hell was I supposed to do?

Comfort her, you idiot! My conciense told me. I quickly put my arm around Lauren as she leaned on my shoulder, sobbing as quiet as she can. I noticed she was trying her best to stop herself from crying by biting into her lip. I couldn't stand seeing her in this state. That rude girl actually had an affect on her. What a terrible thing to say, gosh.

"Hey. Hey. It's okay, Lo." I murmured, stroking her arm gently.

"Zayn." She called, "do you think I'm a slut?"

Oh my god. I would seriously beat the crap out of that girl if I could.

"Lauren, of course not! Why would you think that? Just because some random girl called you that doesn't mean it's true. I positively disagree with her and I am sure everyone that calls you that is just jealous of what you have."

"But what if it's true?"

"What if it's not?"

She sighed.

"Lauren, you aren't a slut, trust me. I've seen girls who are actual sluts and you are very far from that. Like, earth to pluto kind of far. You're just a very beautiful girl."

She smiled at me before embracing me in a tight hug. Yaaayy!! I made her happy!! I hugged back as she softly whispered: "Thank you, Zayn."
