"Well don't you look rather handsome," I grinned at Harry as I greeted him. He was standing at my front door with his curls all neat, wearing a button up shirt and shorts. He pulled me into him and I felt his arms surround me. 'I love being in your arms', I thought. "I love having you in my arms," Harry nestled his face into my neck and I smiled even though I was a little embarrassed. I said it out loud by accident.

"How are we going to get to Megan's house?" Her name tasted bloody disgusting in my mouth, but I had to suffer through it. "Um, er, I'm not old enough for my licence yet, so I asked your mum." Harry blushed and I giggled. I skipped up to my mum's truck and waved, wanting her to roll down the window. "Hi, mum." She smiled at me and then at Harry. I hope this won't be awkward.

"Ready?" She asked us. Both of us looked at each other, then back to her and nodded. "You two are so cute," she commented as we got into the truck. "We know," Harry replied cheekily, winking at me. The ride to the party was mostly quiet, but not awkward for me. I was just nervous. What if Megan tries to hit on Harry? I definitely needed to talk to him about this before we step through her door.

He also needed to remember his promise about "staying with me at all times". "We're here! Have fun!" Harry and I got out of my mum's truck and I realized something. She was dropping us off across the street from the party. I could tell it was across the street by how strobe lights were coming from the windows and there were a lot of people visible. I guess she thought it would be embarrassing to be dropped off by her. I felt bad now, but maybe it would've been a little weird.

"Hey, Emery?" My mum rolled down her window and waited for me to come over. I saw Harry waiting patiently a few feet away. Close enough to talk, but also far enough to not hear me and my mum if we talked quiet enough. "Remember to be home by 10. You better not be drunk; same for Harry." I nodded obediently and turned to leave, but my mom touched my shoulder as she reached out the window.

"Call me if anything goes wrong, okay? If Harry does anything, Anne and I will take care of it. I don't want him hurting you." I smiled as tears reached my eyes and nodded. I trust Harry though...I think. "Love you, mum." I waved before joining Harry's side. "Are you okay, babe?" Harry frowned and I blinked away any tears that might've fallen. "Mmhmm, I guess we should go meet everyone now."

He set his hand on the small of my back and walked at a normal pace with me, across the street and down the long walkway to the front door. Megan's parents were basically rich, so she had a lot of space to have a pretty crazy party. "Wait, I need to talk to you about something." We stopped right at the front door and Harry leaned closer to me, ready to listen. "You won't leave me, ri-" "Hey, nice to see see ya, lad!"

Some guy opened the door cutting me off and I knew I recognized him. "Oh, Emery?!" It was Louis! I hadn't seen him in weeks! "Louis, hi!" I gave him a quick hug and Harry stood behind me. I let go of Louis right away and took Harry's hand in mine. "Come on in! We have some catching up to do!" Louis grabbed my other hand and pulled Harry and me inside. We were pulled through some rooms, occasionally waving to people, and soon I noticed that my hand that had been in Harry's was strangely cold.

I glanced back and pouted when I saw that he had let go of my hand. He was talking to another guy, and I felt somewhat relieved. He wasn't with a girl at least. "Here, sit," Louis gestured to a couch and let go of my hand. "How have you been?" He questioned. "Pretty good. Why haven't you emailed me back?" "Oh, I'm so sorry, love! I've barely used my laptop. Been really busy."

"Oh, it's fine. I haven't seen you around lately. Where've you been?" Louis chuckled to himself and I smiled. "What?" "I don't really live here in Cheshire." Wow, that was unexpected. "Then where do you live?" "Doncaster," he answered happily. "Wow, that's a little far." He nodded and took a drink from someone who passed by.
