"Ughhhh." I groaned and fell onto the bed. "Why? Why the hell did he do that?" I said running my hands through my hair.

"He did it when he wanted us to break up apparently." He took a seat next to me on the bed.

"And he's just now telling you?"

"Yeah. He probably thought the longer he waited, the more likely it'd be for you to get a ticket. But, don't worry, babe. I'm getting you one. You handled the last problem. I've got this one."

"Ugh." I rolled over and groaned into the mattress.

"Don't stress about it, babe. If he doesn't get you a ticket, I will."

I wake up to complete darkness. It's cool in the room, and there is faint light peaking behind the curtains, but not enough to have woken me. I feel around next to me, but Harry's gone. My hand stumbled upon a piece of paper. "What the..."

I roll over and feel around the nightstand, tapping the touch-sense lamp on. Without sitting up, I try my best to read the piece of paper in my sleepy state.

'Morning, babe. It's 9 as I write this, and the boys and I have to head to sound check for the TCAs. I hope you slept well after the bad news last night. I didn't have the heart to wake you this morning. Still no word on the ticket, but I want you to get ready for the award show. And pack your bags ok? I'll give you a call later. Love you. Xx
-H'

I throw the paper to the side and roll back to my pillow. Still no ticket. Great. What's the point in even getting ready? I'm gonna sit there and have Lou waste her good makeup on me, spend who knows how long doing my hair....all just to sit home alone.

I get out of bed and use the restroom. When I look in the mirror I look like a total mess. All the stress is really getting to me lately. I have huge bags under my eyes, my hair looks like a greasy pile of string, and my face is all shiny...I forgot to shower last night. Good luck working with this, Lou.

I make my way downstairs and find almost everyone spread throughout the kitchen and living room. Everyone but the boys of course. Eleanor and Lexi are eating cereal at the table, and the 5SOS boys are still here...weird.

"Look who decided to get up!" Ashton shouted as I walked in.

"What are guys still doing here?" I ask.

"We all decided to just crash on the couches spread throughout the place when it got too late." Michael said.

"Yeah, we were waiting on you and Harry to come back out, but you never did." Luke said, wiggling his eyebrows at me.

"Not what you think." I said shutting him down immediately. "I was pissed last night." I said as I grab a carton of eggs.

"Why? You were fine in the chill room..." I laughed when Ashton called it that. Everyone seemed to use my lingo for that room, and I'm glad it caught on.

"One of the boys managers texted Harry last night saying he gave away my TCA ticket." I beat my ingredients in a mug and poured them into the pan I had heated up to make an omelet.

"What! Why?!"

I finished cooking as I explained the whole ordeal with Steven trying to end mine and Harry's relationship, and told them everything up to last night. The only person I had told before was El, because she was the only one around. After finishing my omelet, and Calums after he begged, they all decided to chime in.

"That's fucked, mate." Michael said.

"Yeah. I'm sure Harry will get you a ticket though." Ashton said rubbing my back. I smiled at the two of them, quietly digging into my omelet.
