[Harry Styles' Flat. 7:46am.]

Louis : (knocks on door) "Hello?"

Harry : (shouts) "It's open!"

Louis : (twists doorknob and opens door) "morning"

Harry : "good morning. I'll be there in a few, make yourself comfortable" (walks into other room)

Louis : "alright" (sits on sofa) (looks around room taking in every detail of the walls, from the many portraits of family photos to the stacked DVD stand to the corner, to the pile of books on the coffee table. Picks up a copy of "wuthering heights" and snorts.) "quite the romantic" (puts book back on the table knocking over the entire pile) "shit!" (Hurriedly picks books up from the floor, a small bright coloured paper falls from one of the books. Picks papers up from the floor and takes black covered book in his hand." "Picture of Dorian Grey" (notices other bright coloured paper sticking out from the book and opens it curiously.  Traces over the bright coloured marker highlighting lines and lines from the book. Turns page to a bright pink marker and gasps. On the paper is marked "Louis Tomlinson" directly under the words "Man is least himself when he talks in his own person, give him a mask and he will tell you the truth" closes the book feeling tears pool his eyes)

Harry : "ready to go?"

Louis : (startled) "I um.. yeah"

Harry : "is something wrong?"

Louis : (shakes head) "no I'm fine"

Harry : "I made tea do you want any?"

Louis : "Uh yeah sure"

Harry : "sugar and milk?"

Louis : "Harry I can't do this" (gets up from sofa)

Harry : "do what?"

Louis : (gestures with hands) "this"

Harry : "I'm not quite sure I understand"

Louis : (closes eyes) "neither do I"

Harry : "I knew you'd react this way so I told Josh and Niall to come along"

Louis : (stunned) "you did what?"

Harry : "you can barely stand when I'm in a room with you alone, I get it. I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable so I told them"

Louis : (sighs) "It's not that"

Harry : (sad) "they should be here in a bit"

Louis : (nods and sits back on sofa) "okay"

Harry : "Here's your tea" (comes to hand Louis his tea and sits on the sofa opposite him)

Louis : "thanks"

Niall : (swings door open) "I'm here bitches!"

Josh : "G'morning fellas"

Louis : "hey"

Harry : (puts cup on table and stands) "Hi guys right on time"

Niall : "I'm surprised Tommo is the first to arrive"

Louis : "I can be on time"

Josh : "I guess there really is a first time for everything"

Harry : (blushes) "uh we should probably get going"
