I slept on the couch last night. I don't really know why when they have many rooms to choose from. The couch seemed more comforting.

Today they were going to give me a tour of the house. Not far right of the living room was the kitchen. Which was very obvious considering the layout of the house. It was enormous of course. It could have been one people use in restaurants. We went up the spiral staircase. There were eight bedrooms along the hall and a bathroom in each. How convenient. They showed me my room. It was all white. It was not going to stay like that for long. All the boxes I brought were there already. They led me back down stairs and to the basement. It was transformed into a home theater on one side and a game room on the other. I was officially jealous.

I hadn't seen Harry all day. I was still upset about what happened the other day. I believe he was too.

The guys and I spent all day in the basement. I had to beat Louis at something. I think Liam and Niall were sick of us. It didn't matter what we did, it was always tied.

"Ok, I give up. We will always be tied." I say. "How about instead of being against each other we team up instead." He suggests."Oh my God. We would be invisible. We could rule the world if we wanted to." I say. We both thought alike. We have each other a high five when we heard a loud bang. "Woah, I think we are stronger than we thought." Louis laughed. I nodded in agreement. "I think that came from upstairs." Liam said.

The door had slammed upstairs. We all rush up to see what it is. It's Harry. And some girl. She is tall, thin and had long dirty blonde hair. He had a bottle of whisky in his hand.

My heart shattered. Not because he was drunk but because of where is other hand was. His other hand was on her butt. "Lad, what are you doing?" says Louis glaring at him. "Why do you care? You all go downstairs and continue doing whatever it is you were doing." He slurs."Me and Jane over here are going to have some fun of our own upstairs." He smirks wickedly directly at me.

That was the first time I think I felt my heartache. I hold back my tears. "You too have fun upstairs." I say with as much confidence as I can muster. "We will." He smirks. "Harry she can't stay here." Niall says."Why not? If you can have a guest then so can I?" He points the bottle at me."Do you really want to do this Harry." Liam tries to reason with him. "Don't waste your time on him. It's hopeless. Beside that's all he'll ever be." I say. My blood was beginning to boil. I no longer felt devastated but replaced it with anger. I walk back downstairs. I throw myself onto the beanbag chair.

I hear footsteps coming back down the stairs. It was them. "Are you ok?" Liam asks me. I lower my head shaking it and put my head into my hands. They sit around me and comfort me.

"We shouldn't just sit here. Let's get back to taking over the world." I smile. We team up for a game of pool. We hardly gave Niall and Liam a chance to shoot. "How many wins is that?" I stick my tongue out at them. "This is unfair. You both are good players, of course you'll win." Niall pouts."Where did you learn to play pool so well?" Liam asks. "I was a bartender once." I reply.

"I'm tired of winning. Let's watch a movie." Louis suggests. "Way to sound cocky Lou." Niall says tipping his head slightly. Louis throws a pillow at him. I can't help but through my head back and laugh at Niall's struggle. "A movies a great idea." I say. "I'll get the popcorn." Louis shouts. He runs up the stairs and to the kitchen. "So what movie?" I ask. "What kind of movies do you like?"Niall asks. "Anything really. Oh. What about a suspense?" I suggest. "Ok, like what did you have in mind?"Liam asks. "What do you have?" I begin to scroll through the movies on their T.V and see Insidious."How about this one." They nod. "We've never seen it." Liam says. I smirk. "You're in for a surprise then." I laugh evilly.

Louis' POV

I jog up the stairs and to the kitchen. Harry is in there and he is partly clothed. "What are you doing?" I glare at him. "I don't know what you are talking about." He says. "The blonde. Why did you bring her?" I say since he decided to be difficult.
"Oh, her."
"Yeah her."
"I was at a bar and she was there alone. I needed a distraction. She was more than willing to jump into bed with me."
"Why would you do that to Jade?"
"Do what? She's not my girlfriend. I could care less about what she thinks. The only reason I gave her the time of day is because I wanted to get into her pants." He's really pissing me off. My voice began to raise.
"You know that's not true. You care about her more than anything."
"You don't know shit!"
"I know that if you love a girl, you wouldn't treat her like this. You wouldn't be upstairs sleeping with someone else, while she is downstairs!"
"Well it's a good thing I don't love her. It's not like she loved me. You heard her she doesn't believe in love."
"You're doing this because of what she said. She's been through hell Harry I would be surprised if she did believe in love."
"We've all been through hell. We have to move past it."
"If she didn't care, why was she so heartbroken?" He shrugs what I said off and gives me his back.
"If you excuse me, I have a naked blonde upstairs."
"I hope it's not to late when you realize what you are losing." He stops, but then continues back up the stairs.
I take my bowl of popcorn and head back down.

They are sitting in the dark huddle all together. I sit next to Jade."What are we watching?"She whispers."Insidious."
She passes the bowl of popcorn to Niall. Something pops out on the screen and he throws the popcorn in the air. Jade starts to laugh and not just any laugh. Those hearty laughs where you throw your head back and squint your eyes. I'm frightened, but I refuse to show it. "Niall I didn't make the popcorn for you to throw it on the floor." I say crossly. "Sorry."

When the movie is over I turn back on the lights. Jade is asleep. How could she sleep through that movie? I carry her bridal style up the stairs and to her room. I had to lead Niall and Liam to their rooms too. The movie really had them shaken up. I'm not going to lie I was a bit frightened too.

Jade's POV

I wake up to banging. I don't mean literal banging like on a wall. Well it could have been on a wall. I don't really want to think about it. Harry's room was right next to mine. I could her the girls moaning. Repeating his name over and over again. She was very loud. "Oh, Harry, yes." I tried to cover my ears but it seemed to just get louder. I want to cry myself to sleep. So much for no longer crying. I can't take it anymore.

I get out of bed and walk down the hall. I pass Niall's room and he isn't in there. I pass Liam's room and Niall is sleeping on the floor. I keep walking and find myself at Louis' door.

I walk in and shake him awake."Hmm. What's wrong?" He asks sleep laced his voice making it deep."Nothing, but I can't sleep Harry and his guest are making too much noise." I sniffle. He sits up in his bed. He doesn't have a shirt on I look away. He throws the covers to the side. He walks to his drawer and grabs a white shirt. "You can look now." I look. "I wanted to know if I could sleep here tonight. I can sleep on the floor." I say timidly. "Don't be ridiculous." He pats the spot beside him. I slide in next to him. He runs his thumb under my eyes. "Thank you."

I lay down and turn to my side facing him. He does the same. I smile at him and close my eyes. "Night Lou." "Good Night Jade."
