"I'm sorry, I just wanted it to be like old times and - "

"Old times?" Harry scoffed, wiping sweat from his forehead. A couple curls had managed to sneak past the barrier created by the bandana he wore and he tried to push them under again. "Old times? Liam, he left us."

"No, he left the band," Liam shot back, shaking his head. "He's still our brother, he's still - "

"But how could you invite him without asking us first?!" Louis ran his hands through his hair in frustration.

"Oh, gee, I didn't realize we weren't allowed to - "

"Guys!" Anna spoke louder over both of them. They looked at her expectantly, closing their mouths, while angry looks still remained on their faces. "It's okay, this is good. I can meet him and we can all...bond together."

"Bond?" Louis questioned. "Babe, the only thing we're all going to do is - "

"We're here!" A familiar, Irish accent announced as the sound of bags being dropped to the ground echoed throughout the woods.

Everyone's eyes turned to Zayn, who only gave a small wave in return.

Anna took a deep breath, before stepping closer to him. His dark hair was styled up and away from his face, and his eyes seemed to shine, due to the sun's rays. She examined him, looking him up and down, from his Converse-clad feet to his basketball shorts to his flannel, and finally landing on his hazel eyes. He looked at her with a small smile on his face and she couldn't help but wrap her arms around his waist and pull him in for a hug.

Zayn didn't hesitate to hug her back, immediately dropping his bags and holding her close. It was as if they had known each other forever, when, really, this was their first time meeting.

Anna pulled back a second later and smiled, "I'm Anna."

"I'm Zayn. So, you're the girl who - "

"Yep," Anna cut him off, popping the 'p'. She already knew where he was going with that sentence.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. It seems you're not as mean as you were through text," he said, lifting his hand up to pinch her cheeks in an endearing manner.

"You'll see just how mean I am if you don't drop your hands, kid," Anna threatened, although there was a hint of playfulness in her tone.

Zayn immediately brought his hands up in surrender, "Ooh."

"Mhm," Anna winked at him, before walking past him and giving her brother a quick hug and Niall a kiss on the cheek.

"We gonna do this, or what?" Niall jerked his chin towards the tents that had already been set up.

"Hell yeah!" Eric cheered, clapping his hands together.

"I'll go get some wood so we can start a fire," Louis announced, already turning around to head in the opposite direction.

"I'll go with you!" Anna called, hurrying after him.

"You didn't have to come," Louis said, in a snappy tone of voice. He didn't mean to take it out on Anna, he was just so mad at Zayn. He didn't ever want to see his face and now here he was camping with them. It was ridiculous.

"Sorry, I thought you might have wanted some company," Anna quickly stepped away from him, turning around to head back to the others.

"No, wait," Louis rushed to her side before she could move any further. "I'm sorry."

"No, I shouldn't have assumed you - "

"No," Louis interrupted her, pressing his lips to her in a quick kiss. "No, I'm sorry. It's not your fault, baby girl, I should not have taken it out on you."

"Okay," Anna nodded, leaning in again to kiss him, capturing his bottom lip in her teeth. "I don't like seeing you upset."

"It's all him," he replied, referring to Zayn, when she let go of his lip. He bit it himself, lifting his finger up to run over it as if mesmerized. "That was really...hot, Annie."

"What was? Zayn? I know, he is gorgeous," Anna joked.

Louis pouted, "Anna."

"I'm kidding, babe," she smiled, lifting his chin up. "You're prettier."

"Pretty? I'm not a girl,"

"I know you're not, but I think pretty is the perfect word to describe you," Anna explained, kissing the tip of his nose. "I love you."

"I love you too," he grinned, tugging her towards the direction he was headed before, to get wood.
