Harry
After I hung up the call, to say I was confused, was a definite understanding. Why was Eleanor out of all people calling me? How had she gotten my number? The only way she could have gotten it is Lottie or Louis..

"See you at the fundraiser babe"

It had sounded so bitter and menacing, which was different because she came off as such a nice person and here she was... Threatening me?

I sighed, today we were having yet again another dinner with the Tomlinson's, before that stupid fundraiser on Sunday. The Tomlinson's were very popular with having dinner's before "big" events, it was nothing new.

"Harry are you ready? We have to go now!" Mum yelled up the stairs, why was she rushing me? We live across the street from Johanna!

I made my way down the stairs and soon we were walking across the street, mum knocked on the door softly. Johanna soon opened the door a welcoming smile on her face "Hello! Come on in, come on in!" I smiled, a fake smile obviously, and made my way into the living room.

My mother and Johannah made their way into the dining room to chat about current events and what not. Lottie was out on a school trip leaving me to fend for myself this time.

Thankfully there wasn't anyone in here so I didn't have to find a way to create conversation. I sighed softly hearing the soft conversational hum coming from the other room.

I was starting to panic because I didn't want to see Louis, and I didn't want to have an encounter with him. I could feel my hands getting clammy and my heart beating faster. I also didn't want to see Eleanor now, obviously she knew something, well her tone gave off the impression that she knew something.

About 15 minutes later, the door bell rang and I took deep breaths, because it was most likely Eleanor and Louis, who had arrived.

"Harry can you get the door for me", Joanna said from the kitchen.

My eyes widened and I gulped down all my anxiety and replaced it with panic.

I took slow steps towards the door and opened it slowly only to hear Louis say "Took you long enough" I looked away from both of them,

"Harry are you alright" Eleanor said, fake concern in her voice.

" 'M f-fine, thank you" I replied, meanwhile she chuckled, I felt Louis' stare on me.

"Let's go El" Louis said his voice cold. Without any last words both of them made their way to the dining room.

I stood there with the door still open and my hand still shaking, I closed the door as slowly as possible to take up more time, I also took my time walking down the hallway and into the dining room where everyone was waiting for me.

Johanna clapped her hands together and smiled "Now that everyone is here, well mostly everyone...Lottie isn't here as you can see" she said motioning to the empty seat, only the small babble of the twins was heard. Dan, Johanna's husband was away on a business trip so it was only, Louis and Eleanor, mum, myself, the baby twins and Johanna. Small group.

"As I was saying I just wanted to take the moment to thank Harry because he's the one who's going to be giving our special speech at the fundraiser tomorrow " Johanna said smiling.

I could feel everyone looking at me making me turn a bright red.

"Harry is giving the speech" Eleanor said raising a brow, a smirk on those red puckered lips of hers, "Well that's a surprise" she said chuckling

I felt mum's hands over mine and looked over to see her giving me a small smile.

"Eleanor, I bet Harry will give a beautiful speech. Don't doubt him so quick" Johanna said defending me (even though I didn't want to give the speech).
