We parted and searched the halls until we were lost.

"Will you just call Harry?" She sighs, looking at me. I groaned audibly and pulled my phone out.

After a few rings I was afraid he wasn't going to answer. He didn't.

The second time he answered after a few rings.

"Hello-"

"Harry, thank goodness." I huff.

"Lina, are you okay?" He asks.

"Yeah I'm alright, well no, I'm not. I'm lost." I admit.

"What? Are you here?"

"Yeah, but I was trying to find a bathroom in the back so I didn't get recognized and yeah..." I trailed off.

"Do you know where you're at?" He asks.

"B Wing." Aspen says.

"B Wing, okay I'll come get you. Stay there."

"Thank you." I hung up. "He's coming."

"Great," She breathes

"Let me see you're dress." I say, turning her around. It had a laced up back. "Okay when we get to the bathroom I'll loosen it." I told her.

"You're the best." Se pouts, hugging me.

She did look absolutely amazing. The dress was black, tight around the chest, midsection, and waist, and fell loose until her knees. Her shoes were simple black pumps, which was surprising. Aspen's the type to always wear Adidas, with anything. But that was okay because she could make that work.

As I heard the door near the sign that read B Wing we started walking toward it.

"Lina?" I heard him, then saw him turned the corner.

"Harry." I breathed. "Thank you so much!" I say lifting my hand to my chest.

"It's not a problem, how are you today?" He asks, stepping forward to hug me.

"Good-oh." I jumped, feeling his cold hands on the mesh of the back of my dress. "Your hands are freezing." I chuckle, as he let me go.

"Oh yeah, I'm sorry. You're Aspen, right?" He asks, offering his hand. She nodded curtly, with a smile. "Nice to meet you."

"You too." She shook his hand.

"I'm glad you ladies came tonight, it means a lot." He says, turning to lead the way.

"It's our pleasure." I say, watching his back as he walked.

We got out of the maze of hallway and Harry showed us the bathroom.

"I'll be right out here." He said.

"Okay." I nod, pushing Aspen inside.

"Lord, that man is attractive." She whispers.

"Off limits." I warn.

"Calm down, he's not my Niall." She shrugs. I helped loosen each layer of lacing and tied the bow for her. "Thank you so much." She took a deep breath. "I'm gonna fix my make up."

I walked out, seeing Harry leaning against the wall. I exhaled loudly, shaking my head, earning a questioning glance.

"Wardrobe malfunction." I state, causing him to nod.

"She okay?"

"She just didn't want to humiliate herself in front of you guys." I shrug.

"How sweet." He chuckles.
