I know this chapter isn’t about me or what happens between Niemi or Araliam. I wanted to add some Harrpi drama into my fanfic so I did. Hope you enjoy! :D

Chapter 15
*Noemi’s POV*
At Golden Coral...
This restaurant is amazing! Except for the paparazzi who were taking outside pictures of us. I was so glad the managers of the restaurant didn’t let them [or anyone else since we had the whole restaurant to ourselves] in. Who knows what would have happened. Anyways, all of us were here: the boys, their girlfriends, and I. We were all in a circular table and were seated in this order: Zayn, Perrie, Eleanor, Louis, Niall, me, and Harry. Everyone seemed to be having a great time even though we barely got there. Except for Arpi and Harry. Hazza looked ashamed and Arpi looked as though she was going to break down crying any second now. Then all of a sudden Arpi stands up, excuses herself, and goes to the ladies’ room. I wondered why she looked so upset when I remembered what Harry told me.
*Flashback*
Three days prior to meeting Simon...
“Noemi can I talk to you?” Harry had asked me. I was in the living room watching a movie with Niall. I looked up at him and he looked as though he had been crying, since his eyes were red, plus he had bags under his eyes. I got curious because he NEVER looks like that. He always looks the opposite, always smiling and all that good stuff. Since Arpi was in Armenia, Harry and I got close. Niall didn’t want to let me go at first, but then he looked up and saw Harry’s condition. So he agreed and I went with Harry into his room. Once we were there, I asked him “What’s wrong? You look pretty bad.” he looked at me with such a serious face I started to worry. His eyes started to tear up and I hugged him and told him, “It’s okay love, tell me what happened. You know I’ll always be here for you.” The Cheshire boy hugged me and whispered what was making him look and feel so miserable. I was pretty surprised at what he had told me. But I managed to stay calm. “I assume you know what you did was bad and wrong.” I started saying and he just nodded his head, knowing [or at least thinking] I was going to yell at him. “I understand you made a huge mistake and I’m not mad.” I continued. Harry looked at me like if I had two heads with three eyes on each head. “I am a little disappointed but I forgive you.” After a while, he asked “Why?” I gave him a small smile and said “You’re human. All humans were born to make mistakes. We’re not perfect, Harry.” He seemed to understand. Then he asked me “Can you be the one to tell her? I’m too ashamed!” “Oh no no no! You have to tell her. Trust me, it’s easier for her to find out by you coming out and telling her rather than having her hear it by someone else. Especially since that someone else could be a paparazzi. And I would recommend you do it as soon as possible.” I said sternly. He thought about it for a moment and sighed. “Fine I’ll do it.” he said. I hugged him again and told him “I know you can.” Harry looked worried and said “What if she says she hates me? What if she breaks up with me? What if —” “Harry stop!” I almost yelled. “I know Arpi, and I know she’ll forgive you. She may be mad at first, but she will forgive you. I promise. And you know how I am about promises.” The nineteen year old boy looked at me and said “Yeah. It’s worth a try, and what motivated me to do it was your promise. Thank you!”
*Flashback over*
I guess he already told her. So I, too, excused myself and followed her. Once I was in the restroom, Arpi had already started crying her eyes out. I had never seen her like this. She didn’t notice I was in there so she kind of jumped when I said “Are you okay?” She quickly started drying her tears and tried to stop sobbing. I told her “It’s okay to cry hun. I’ve seen so many people crying. Even Harry.” As soon as I said his name, she started sobbing again. I went up to her and hugged her, letting her soak my pink crop top with her tears. At this point, it didn’t matter if the shirt got ruined. “Do you want to talk about it, hun?"
