since she saw his face. his gorgeous sun kissed face. she had been in bed since and called in sick at work. her room was covered in snotty tissues and two tubs of "ben and jerry's" ice cream. it seemed that every time she closed her eyes, she saw those dazzling emerald orbs and that million dollar smile.

she burst into sobs yet again. she heard footsteps approaching, she didn't need to look up to see who it was. she called liam when it happened and he had been at her house ever since. "el, you need to get over him, hun. he isn't worth it," liam said sitting next to her, rubbing her back gently.

"i-i l-l-love him, li," she said, tears streaming down her face. liam's face softened. she looked so helpless and broken. his fists clenched together. liam payne hated harry styles more than ever. he was out for blood, more specifically harry styles' blood.

harry
no one in the building approached harry styles. simon was scared to go near him when he was in one of his moods, everyone was. usually, it lasted for a couple of days but it has been a week straight and he is still cold.

the doors of his office opened wide and zayn malik took a seat across from him, arms crossed like he was ready to propose a business deal. harry looked up from his work and glared at his best friend, "there's something called knocking, dickhead. now piss the fuck off, i'm working," harry snapped loudly.

zayn wasn't surprised at all. he seemed unfazed by harry's outburst. instead, zayn got up and closed the doors so he could have a private talk with them. the workers outside looked at zayn worriedly because he was going to be alone with a very mad harry.

"i'm not going anywhere you dipshit. now stop fucking working and pay attention to me," zayn said in the same tone harry used on him. harry's jaw clenched as he put his pen down and clasped his hands together. he knew better than to ignore zayn malik.

"what's going on mate?" zayn asked in a more softer, concerned voice. harry looked at zayn, his bottom lips wobbling and his eyes beginning to fill with tears. "i-" he tried to say before bursting out in tears. zayn hardly ever saw harry cry much, he walked over to his best friend and wrapped his arms around him, whispering soothing words in his ear.

"just let it out man," zayn whispered softly. harry cried and cried in his best friends arm. he cried because he's cheating on his wife, because he hurt elanora, because he didn't go after her and he cried because he was just so fucking stressed with everything.

elanora
"b-but joey, i don't want to go!" elanora whined. liam called in the big guns because he was worried about me not leaving the bed. currently, sofia and joey were in her wardrobe picking out something for her to wear. "it's the hottest club right now! you have to go," joey said, clearly annoyed with elanora's protests.

"you are totally wearing this dress!" sofia said taking out a short, tight, black cocktail dress with a triangle cut in the middle to show some stomach. "good job sofs! she's gonna look hot," joey squealed, throwing the dress in my face. "get dressed el, it's half past seven and i don't want to stand in a line!" he said pushing me into the bathroom and shutting the door.

elanora groaned, she really just wanted to stay home and watch netflix all night. she was going to strangle liam tomorrow. elanora too off her oversized teeshirt and grey sweatpants. she slipped into the dress and adjusted it in the mirror, twirling around to see if it fit properly.

"damn girl, your making me straight!" joey snapped his fingers as she walked out. elanora burst out laughing making joey and sofia smile. it has been a while since they heard her genuinely laugh.

they all looked in the long mirror in her room. "strike a pose guys!" sofia said as they all held poses in the mirror as if they were being photographed. they all laughed and walked through the front door.

"night life" was the name of the club. it just opened a month ago and it's never had a dead night. joey flirted with the man at the entrance so we could cut the line. "this is my song!" sofia shouted over the music. it was "wonderful" by the weeknd and travis scott. a guy came up to sofia and asked her to dance, leaving me with joey.

"babe, i know it hurts now. but just live in the moment and enjoy yourself," joey said placing a kiss on my forehead. elanora smiled, she had some fucking awesome friends. she ordered three shots of tequila and downed all. "that's the spirit babe!" joey shouted.

elanora was feeling tipsy. the room was spinning and everything looked amazing. colorful flashes all over the dance floor and the dj in front playing music. the dance floor was glowing and she was feeling good.

she found herself walking towards the dance floor and moving her hips to the music. a pair of arms wrapped around her waist as she swayed. the stranger held her tight and their lips were close to her neck. she wanted to see who this mystery person was. she turned around, wrapping her arms around the man's neck as they were slowly grinding on each other.

she was met with the most beautiful blue eyes that she ever laid eyes on. her breath caught in her throat. the gorgeous man smirked as he realized she was checking him out, causing her to blush deeply.

without warning, he grabbed her hand and led her off of the dance floor to the less noisy v.i.p lounge section. "i saw you on the dance floor and i couldn't take my eyes off of you. you are quiet mesmerizing," the stranger said causing her to blush and look down. "t-thank you," she mumbled causing him to laugh.

"no need to be nervous babe. i don't bite," he smiled, "w-what brings you here?" elanora managed to ask without stuttering much. "i own the place, babe. i have to be here sometimes. you never told me your name," he stated taking a sip of his drink which looked like whiskey. "i'm elanora," she said, trying hard not to stare into his eyes.

the man ran his hand through his dyed blonde hair and smirked, "the name's horan babe, niall horan."
