Stella's POV:
Once the three boys got settled on the couch I asked them "How was everyone's day?" I had to break the silence somehow... Harry spoke up. "Could have been better." I awkwardly smiled and wondered why and then Zayn was the next person to break the silence "I hung out with Perrie for a bit until she went home to visit her family. What about you Stel?" Zayn asked. "Pretty good, studio all morning, hung out with Nick, and studio all afternoon. Now I'm here" I laughed. "Nick huh? You two seem to be getting really close." Liam observed. "Yeah he's great. We are hanging out again tomorrow, he's bringing me to all his favourite places in London." I explained maybe saying too much. If Harry wasn't here I would be able to tell the boys exactly how great Nick is and how excited I am to be spending the day with him tomorrow. I notice Harry staring at the ground. He looks op and his eyes meet mine. Quickly he turns away breaking our stare. "Good for you, but please be careful Stel." Liam says sending me a warning look. Liam is always the one that looks out for everyone. He truly cares about everyone's well being. We decided on watching 'The Last Song', one of my all time favourite movies and I walked to the kitchen as it started to make some popcorn. I returned and the only seat left was the one beside Harry. I sat down and made sure to scoot as far away as I could. I noticed Harry roll his eyes. I ignored him and turned my attention to the screen. Harry spent most of the time on his phone. What could possibly be more important than spending time with your friends. When the movie was over we chatted for a bit until Liam said "Guys we should get going, Stella needs her beauty sleep for her date tomorrow." Immediately regretting his word choice, Harry snapped his head up and growled, "It's not a date, they are just friends." "Harry's right, we are just friends." Zayn rolled his eyes and smiled at me. As the boys were walking out, Cristina walked in. "Hey! How did your date go?" I asked her. "It was good, Niall asked me to meet his family! Before the tour we are going to Ireland and then he is coming back to Toronto with us to meet our families!" she said happily. My heart sunk. Harry and I were supposed to do the same thing before he had to go and ruin it. "That's so exciting Cristi, I'm so happy for you guys." I did my best to sound happy for her but she saw right through it. "I'm so sorry Stel, I forgot. I didn't mean to rub it in your face like that." she apologized. "Oh my God, don't worry. Its fine, really, Harry and I just weren't meant to be. Speaking of which, I still haven't told my family that Harry and I broke up. I don't have the heart to tell them. I fought so hard for them to give Harry a chance when they turned out to be right all along." I said. "Don't worry, you don't have to tell them anything right now. Just let it be for a few weeks." Cristina said. "Yeah I guess, I'm going to bed, Nick is coming to get me at 11 tomorrow." I said walking to my room. "Yeah you're right, you guys totally aren't dating right Stel?" Cristina yelled after me. I just rolled my eyes and flipped her off behind my back. She laughed and I shut my bedroom door. I showered and blow dried my hair straight and then got into bed.
My alarm was blaring in my ear this morning causing me to jump right up. I headed to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I put on a small amount of mascara and swiped some pink lipstick on my lips. I slipped on a casual white dress and a slouchy grey cardigan. I put on some black converse and popped my Ray Bans on my head. I walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table with Cristina. "Morning, you look nice!" she complimented. "Thanks, so what are you up to today?" I asked. "Lou and I are going shopping for some new stuff for your tour wardrobe. And then we are getting manicures." she laughed. "Sounds like fun! Hey can you ask Lou what she thinks of overall shorts? They seem to be really in right now and I would love to know what she thinks of them for when I perform 'Tonight'." I ask. "Ou I love those! Yeah of course we will look into it. Overall shorts would go great with that song!" she smiles. The doorbell rang and I walked to open it. For a minute I was confused as to why he didn't just walk in. Oh, that's right, he's not Harry... "Hey beautiful, you ready?" Nick asked pulling me into a tight hug. My stomach fluttered. "Hey, yeah I'm ready! See you later Cristi." I waved and shut the door behind me. We walked to the elevator and Nick grabbed my hand. I flinched a little but didn't pull away. "Sorry I-" he said letting go but I grabbed his hand and said "No, I like it." His smile grew three sizes. When the elevator came, we got inside and pressed the Lobby button. Just as the doors were closing someone yelled "Hold the elevator!" Nick put his free hand out and stopped the doors from closing. Much to my surprise, Harry walked in. Great... His face fell when he saw Nick and I holding hands. "Harry, hi...this is Nick, Nick this is Harry." I said pulling my hand away from Nick. "Hey, nice to meet you, I love your music." Nick said being as friendly as possible. "Hi." Harry said coldly. Thank God, the doors opened and we walked out. "Have a good day Harry!" I said waving and he ignored me. "What's with him?" Nick asked as we walked out towards his car. "Nothing, he's not a morning person." I lied. I don't know why I am protecting Harry. It was just a habit I guess.
