~Cassie's POV~

I get off the plane, slightly intrigued and scared at the days to come.

How will my coming back make any difference to Harry? I'm just some girl he rescued in an alley and took care of for a while. I'm nothing special.

I immediately spot Niall and Lilli by their descriptions and also by looking at pictures of them in that magazine.

"Hi! I'm Cassie." I say, offering a friendly smile.

"I'm Niall and this is my girlfriend Lilli." Niall introduces.

"Yeah, I know. I found out after having a uh...very interesting conversation with Jerry and then the man was talking too loud and...anyway, it's nice to meet you guys." I ramble on and they chuckle.

"You remind me a lot of Lou." Niall says and Lilli agrees.

"Whale, let's not keep standing here like lazy arses! Let's go!" I say. Niall helps me with my bags and we haul them into this really nice van with curiously tinted windows.

"For a bit of privacy. Don't get much of that with the fans and all." Niall explains, noticing that I was curiously examining them.

"Bet you guys don't get much of that, ay?"

"Got that right."

"So, you're probably wondering what exactly we called you for-"

"Yeah. Figured that out too. I'm smarter than I look. You guys want me to see Harry again. What I haven't figured out is why." I interrupt.

"Correct. And the answer to your question is because Harry's changed." Lilli begins.

"What do you mean 'changed'?" I ask.

They go on to tell me how ever since the fame, Harry hasn't been the same.

"Okay, guys, I know you may think this is gonna be like some love story and he' gonna see me and everything's gonna go on from there, but it's not. Harry doesn't care about me that way." I say.

"He does! Or at least, he did. And maybe those feelings will resurface and he'll be the old Harry again. Maybe you can change him. Please Cassie? You're our only hope." Lilli says and Niall gives me the puppy dog eyes.

"Oh God. Niall, don't go all puppy dog eyes on me." I say. The expression on his face really is adorable.

"Pwease?"

I roll my eyes and sigh.

"Alright fine!" I say.

"Yes!" Lilli and Niall say in unison and then high-five.

"Still don't see what good it'll do and I'm not promising anything. And I'd like to get paid for my services."

"How much?"

"Oh, I don't go for money." I say, smirking evilly at the both of them. They exchange a glance between each other that says 'Oh crap. This girls a loon.' I laugh.

"Chill guys! It's not like I'm going to make you pay me in your own blood or something." I say.

"What is it then?" Niall asks.

"Ice-cream!!!"

And that's when we all burst out laughing.

But I'm serious. I better get my ice-cream.
