Evelyn

Zayn was at the office, Ash and Ella were at their grandparents, so it was just Noah and I at home, currently watching high school musical upon his request.

"Is it okay if I go out tonight?" Noah asked me, digging his hand into the bag of tortilla chips.

"Am I your mom or something?"

Noah groaned in annoyance, making me chuckle slightly. "I'm just asking to make sure alright with it."

"I know, I'm just messing with you. But I don't care if you want to go out and have fun or whatever. You're old enough and I trust you," I said and he grinned.

"Cool. I'm going to the club with Louis," he told me and I scoffed, rolling my eyes so hard that they could possibly fall out.

"What? I thought you said you didn't care?"

I sighed in defeat. "What happened to Lottie? I thought you two had a thing going on? And Louis. There's Eleanor yet he still wants to hook up with girls from a night club."

"Hey! Are you throwing shade? Do you think we're man whores?" Noah defended.

I shrugged, taking a sip of my tea. "I didn't say that. But that's none of my business though."

"Evelyn," Noah deadpanned, pursing his lips into a straight line.

"How about you and Louis take Lottie and Eleanor out like a on a double date?" I suggested. "You guys can go to the movies or go bowling or whatever it is you wanna do."

Noah nodded as if he agreed. "That sounds fun."

"Stop acting like a little shit, Noah. Lottie likes you, a lot. Don't make it seem like you're leading her on. And don't hit up night clubs and hook up with random girls and bring them home because if you do, I'm not letting her under my roof."

"Okay, mom," Noah joked and laughed shortly after.

"I'm just sayin'. I love you but I hate seeing you act like a frat boy."

"I'm a frat boy, though."

Oh. I totally forgot that Noah is apart of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity at WSU.

"Go figure," I remarked, sarcastically. "Call Lottie and ask her out on a date. If you want to go alone instead of a double date, just let Louis know."

"I'm scared."

"You have a her number, right?"

"Yeah."

"Don't make me call her for you," I warned, feeling myself smiling mischievously as I slowly reached for his phone.

"Okay, fine!" Noah stood up and snatched his phone from the coffee table.

"Atta, boy!" I cheered and he waved me off before he left me alone in the living room and heard his footsteps trail up the staircase.

The sound of the doorbell ringing startled me as I slowly got up from my spot on the sofa. When I unlocked the door, my mouth fell open and I couldn't believe who was standing at door step.

"Harry?" I asked, my voice coming out small. I couldn't help but eye him up and down. His hair has gotten so long since the last time I've seen him.
