"Lets go tell everyone goodnight," Harry said, breaking the silence we've had for the past five minutes. My sobs faded, and now I only had a puffy and blotchy face. I nodded slowly and walked to the door with Harry at my heels. As we tip toed down the stairs, we heard soft snoring from the living room.

Perrie and Zayn were out on the couch. Liam was sleeping with his feet kicked up on the armrest and his head on a pillow. And Louis was standing up and rubbing his eyes.

"You going to bed?" He asked Harry and I.

"Ya. What happened in here?" Harry asked.

"I told them a long story about Kevin and I," Lou smiled. I missed Kevin!

"Are you alright?" He asked me, walking closer to us. I nodded and smiled weakly.

"She just got some soap in her eyes and was rubbing them for awhile," Harry covered for me. He looked down at me and smiled too.

Louis looked skeptical at first, but slowly bought it.

"Ok. Goodnight," he said, kissing my cheek and walking upstairs. Harry and I both let out a deep breath and turned to go back upstairs. Something doesn't feel right...

"Whats that noise?" Harry asked, grabbing my arm and turning around a bit. What noise? I didn't hear anything.

"What are you talking about?" I asked. He grabbed my hand and took me to kitchen with him and turned on the light hesitantly. Right in front of us, sitting at the breakfast bar, and stuffing his mouth with cookies, was Niall Horan. Of course. Harry's hand tensed down in mine and he sighed.

"Hey guys," Niall said calmly.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Nothing," he replied, putting the cookies away.

"Goodnight," Harry said, turning around and walking upstairs. He looked back at me and ran a hand through his curls.

"You going to bed?" Harry asked.

"Ya, just a minute," I said, watching him go back upstairs then turning to face Niall.

"I saved you a cookie," he said with a sheepish smile. I took the cookie from his hand and smiled.

"Thanks." I wrapped my arms around his arm and walked upstairs with him.

"Night," he said, kissing my forehead and closing my door. Tonight was too much to handle. I feel like throwing up because of what I told Harry. I hate thinking about it.

I plopped onto my bed and turned the lamp off. I tried going to sleep, but every time I closed my eyes, I saw Cameron's dark blue eyes. I smelt his alcohol breath. I felt his body taking over mine.

I threw the blankets off of my body and flicked on the lamp next to me. This is gonna take some time to forget about. I hopped up and grabbed my phone.

The one thing that cheers me up when I feel upset. Talking to the boys.

Me: Can't sleep :/

I sent the text to Louis and Niall then turned on some really quiet music. Lana Del Rey was my new favorite artist. Her or Imagine Dragons. As Summertime Sadness played softly, my phone beeped.

BooBear: lol! What are you and the girls gonna do tom?

I smiled to myself as Louis texted me back . I honestly don't know what we are gonna do. Probably just chill and talk.

Me: idk. Ask Sabrina. She probably has all of it planned out.

I wonder if Haz is asleep... I feel the closet to him right now. 

Me: Are you awake? :(

My phone beeped again, immediately after I had sent the text to Harry.

BooBear: Lol. Ok. I tired. Night xx Love ya

Well I guess Niall is asleep. Hopefully Hazza is awake. I don't want to feel lonely. I felt enough of that in the past months.

Me: Love ya too

I sighed and fell back onto my pillow. When my phone beeped again, I shot straight up and checked the message.

Hazzalovesya: Ya. Whats wrong?

Me: you know

Please, don't make me repeat it Harry. 

Hazzalovesya: Get in here 

I turned off my music and walked through the door to Harry's room. It was dark. All you could see was his phones light. I smiled weakly and got under the covers. He spooned me and wrapped his arm around me. 

"I won't let anyone else hurt you. Ever," Harry whispered into my ear, sending chills down my spine. I closed my eyes again. This time, I didn't see Cameron. I saw the boys.
