Stranded

Chapter 18

I walk out of Harry's room, wishing I could stay in his arms for as long as I wanted to, but I know that's never gonna happen.

El sighs a sigh of relief. 

"What the hell were you doing in there?" she asks, scrunching up her eyebrows.

"Uh, I heard Harry was having a nightmare last night and I went in there to check on him. I guess we just ended up falling asleep." I say, partly lying to her. Thankfully, she doesn't ask for details.

"Okay well um, we were all going to go out today if you wanted to come." she invites.

"No that's okay. I'll just stay here. I need to unpack and kind of just rest. I had a long day yesterday." I say. She looks disspointed.

"Okay. You can rest for the day. But tonight, we're all going out clubbing so you better be ready." she says.

"I don't think I have anything club-wear." I say.

"Look in my closet. Wear something sexy. Don't try to cover it up!" she says and we both laugh. "Just, make sure you call me if you need anything okay?" 

"Okay." 

She leaves down the stairs and I go into my room, looking at all the stuff I have to unpack.

"Ugh, this is way too much stuff. I'll unpack later." I say to myself when my stomach growls. "Okay Mr. Stomach! To the kitchen we go!" 

God, I really am insane.

~Lilli's POV~

"Did you tell Cass that it would just be her and Harry in the house today?" I ask Eleanor. 

"Nope." she says with an evil grin.

"El!" we all exclaim in unison.

"What? I thought it would be a good idea if they spent some time together." she defends.

"Not if they rip each other apart and tear up the house!" Liam says.

"They'll be fine. Cass promised she'd call me if she needed anything." El says, waving it off.

I hope she's right.

"What all are we doing today?" Niall asks as he's sat beside me.

"Whatever we want. But tonight, we're going clubbing." Lou says.

Oh boy. This is sure to be an interesting day.

~Harry's POV~

I wake up, but Cass isn't beside me. She must've left while I was asleep. Good. I didn't want her in here anyway.

Stop lying to yourself Harry. You know you missed having her sleeping next to you.

I hear someone downstairs and wonder who it is. Everyone else went out for the day. I slip on a pair of night pants that hang loose on my hips and go to the kitchen where the noise is coming from.

"Shit!" Cassie yells. I can't help but laugh as the smoothie she was making sprays all over her.

"You know, you're supposed to put the top on before you turn the blender on." I say and she glares at me. 

"Shut up." she growls as she wipes off a counter top. "And just when I thought I would get a little alone time...here you are." she says, gesturing to me.

"What do you mean?" I ask her.

"El told me everyone was going out today and I thought that included you. I forgot how you've gone all 'bad ass' since you became famous." she says, putting air quotes around bad ass.
