*Harry's p.o.v*

"Hiya dad" Jake says as I open the door to him

"Just don't, it sounds so wrong" I tell him "how's you Jakey Boi?" I pull him into the house

"I'm good" Jake smiles widely, which means one thing... He got laid last night. I don't really like that saying, it literally sounds like he laid a egg or something.

"Who was the lucky person?" I ask him and he shakes his head blushing

"Your Ex, again" he whispers. My eyes widen, he means Niall. He can't of, not again. Not after the last time.

"Shit. Jake he was that person who was texting me! you can't see him again" I say sternly to him

"You can't tell me who I can see and who I can't" Jake shouts at me

"He's bad news Jake" I tell him "but your right, I can't tell you what to do"

He looks at me for a few seconds then he grabs my left hand "what's this?" He asks laughing a little "You finally asked him!" He smiles. Thing is for months I have been talking to Jake about asking Louis to marry me, but turns out Louis was thinking the same thing. I was going to propose in a week or two, out on a walk. But he beat me to it.

"Not exactly. He asked me last night" I tell him

"You serious! Never knew he was the romantic type. Did you, you know" Jake says blushing

"No I don't know" I shake my head

He lifts his hands up and makes the okay sign with one hand then brings his index finger on the other hand and pushes it in and out. I literally cringe.

"I'm not saying" I say as Louis walks into the room

"Not saying what babe?" He asks putting his hands around my waist standing behind me

"Nothing" Jake laughs "I already know the answer" he shakes his head blushing a little

"You ready to go now?" I ask Jake and he nods. I quickly zip up my boots and give Louis a quick kiss before I head outside to Jake's car. "Wanna hear a joke?" I ask him and he shakes his head, but I tell him anyway "Knock, knock" I smile at him

"Who's there?" He huffs in response

"Anee" I say entering his car

"Anee, who?" He sighs

"Anee one you like!" I laugh and he shakes his head rolling his eyes in the back of his head "wanna hear another one?" I ask smiling

"Please don't. Every time you tell a joke something bad is bound to happen. Plus they are really,really, really, really bad. No offence" Jake says raising his hands above his head

"Fine. But is there?" I ask him smiling

"What? Someone I like? Not really. Not at the moment why?" Jake questions me

"Because I'm supposed to know this stuff" I say in a mocking voice

"Okay" he says in a high voice "where we going then?" He asks

"Do you think it will be weird if I still propose to him? Is that weird? I mean only one persons supposed to propose. But I wanted to do it before he asked me...." I'm cut off by Jake interrupting me

"Just do what ever Harry!" Jake shouts at me starting the car and reversing off the drive

Why did he shout at me? I know I was babbling a bit, but. "What's wrong?" I ask him

"Nothing." He sighs focusing on the road "Your life will still be perfect what ever you choose" he mutters. Is he kidding me? My life perfect, far from it. I've lost my mum and sister and my dad wants nothing to do with me. I decide not to say anything "Have you seen where I live? It's horrible. Because you two forced me to move out, I can barely move in there"

"I never forced you to do anything, so if you are playing this card you better take it up with your dad. I have nothing to do with this. I'm sure he'll let you move in again" I raise my voice a little

"He wouldn't" Jake sighs "we going into town?" He asks

"Can do" I reply. My phone buzzes in my pocket

I smile at the message causing Jake to look at me. "Come on then" Jake says getting out of the car. I never realised that he'd actually parked.

I unbuckle my seat belt and get out of the car. "Haz?" Jake says getting my attention I look at him "when do you plan on actually getting married?"

"I've no idea, maybe the summer of next year? I seriously don't know" I tell him and he nods as we walk in the shopping centre "but one thing I do knows is..." I say

"What's that?" Jake asks in anticipation and I smile

"Will you be my best man? You are my best friend so I think it's only fair to ask you, and let's face it I don't have many other friends" I tell him smiling but then a frown comes upon my face. Reality hits me, I haven't got many other friends apart from Jake and Louis.

"Corse I will H!" Jake smiles hugging me "come on... I kinda told someone to meet us here" Jake pushes away from me and then pulls me along. Literally dragging me.

"It better not be Niall!" I stop him and he shakes his head then I stumble as he pulls me again

A few stumbles and a fall later we enter a coffee shop. Yes I fell... I'm clumbsy. The pavement wanted to see my face closer, well that's my excuse.

We take a seat on a table for four. The coffee shop has music in the back ground which sounds a bit like Fifth Harmony, Worth It. "Who's coming?" I ask Jake but he just smiles

"You'll have to wait" he tells me "but don't hate me.." He says. When he says that it makes it sound like Niall. But he wouldn't do that, he said it wasn't Niall. Jake smiles waving at the door signalling that the person is over there. I decide not to look, I feel my heart race in my chest. "Alright mate" Jake says standing up to meet the person.

I feel their presence behind me "H-Harry? W-what are you d-d-doing h-here?" The person speaks.

*Authors note*
Cliff hanger! Who's the mystery person in the coffee shop?

Well.... I'm sad to say this story is almost over! I think this has been my favourite to write so far!
