Bad.

Eight.

"Babe, is my phone down there?" Jack called from upstairs.

I hurried up and stuffed it in the couch cushions. "I don't see it." I called back.

I had been snooping. Its not like he gave me any reason to think he'd cheat I was just afraid he would because women hung around him no matter where he went. Something that pissed me off to no end. He jogged down the steps fully clothed and ready to leave. His friend was having a celebration because he'd won a Brit award, I think? I couldn't remember exactly I just knew I didn't want to go. I hadn't met any of the people who were supposed to be attending and that was frustrating. Jack checked around the room and dug in the couch cushion finding his phone. "There it is." He said checking the time. "Are you ready?" He asked looking at me with a smile.

"Yeah, I'm ready." I was in a sour mood. We'd been in Britain for a week now and not once did we go site seeing or anything. Jack was a social butterfly. He had friends over all the time while I sat in my room sulking. I loved him just more when we were alone. I had become less social over the past month that we'd been together which was harder for us because he was the complete opposite. I grabbed his hand and followed him out of the house. Photographers didn't follow us as much anymore. We were old news. No drama, no exes, nothing spectacular happened this month. The only headline I'd ever cared about was the first time we were spotted and thrown on TMZ's page because I knew that a certain someone would see it and he would be hurting. I didn't think about him very often. There was quite the crowd outside of the gates of who evers house we were going to. Once inside I almost peed myself. It was beautiful but that wasn't the problem. Jack hadn't told me everyone that would be there. A lot of familiar famous faces were there including Nialls, Harrys, and even Ed Sheeran. I never met Ed before but I had thought he was the hottest guy in the entire world. I was full of thirty emotions at one time. Fear of having to see Niall, excitement because ED SHEERAN, confusion because why was Niall in Britian for a random party, anger because Jack skipped out on important information. Every single emotion ever ran through my head at that moment.

"Jack, you didn't mention all of these people would be here." I was stunned.

He smiled at me and grabbed my hand. "I knew you'd be surprised. You always listen to Ed so I figured you'd love this."

I look away from the crowd of people to his face and a small smile forms on my face. "Thank you. I'm really surprised and I do love it. I just hope I can talk to him."

"I'm glad. I'll go get us something to drink. What do you want?" He asks letting my hand go.

I shrug. "Surprise me."

I didn't see it but of course Niall saw me. The moment Jack left the room Niall made his way over to me. "I'll admit I'm surprised to see you." He said when he stopped a foot away from me.

"Trust me, if I knew you were here I wouldn't have come." I bit back rudely.

His eyes widened a little, "No need to be so angry. I never got to apologize but I'm sorry for what I said the last time we saw each other. I won't tell anyone about that stuff. That was between us and I won't say anything."

I nodded slowly deciding if I believed him. I decided I did. "Okay, thank you." I smiled. "Ed Sheeran is here."

"I know. Why are you so excited?" He read my expression easily.

I gave him a look. "He's been my favorite artist since the dawn of time."

Niall smiles and nods toward him. "I'll introduce you. We're friends."

..

Niall did introduce me but I felt so weird. I was so in love with his music and I just wanted to tell him that every five seconds. I had to restrain myself from being extremely embarassing. Jack found me to give me my drink but strayed away after a few minutes leaving me alone. Niall rescued me of course. I had a small conversation with Harry who was being very quiet. Eventually, Niall and I were left alone to catch up. It felt so odd to talk to him normally after all we'd been though.
