I woke up blinking in the daylight to see the room was empty apart from me and Harry. I nudged him awake as i sat up pulling the duvet futher around ourselves i could hear the sound of rain on the windows which was becoming something i was used to waking up to. Harry smiled and blinked up at me, runing his hand through his hair. I smiled, but when his face completely left the pillow to sit up i noticed his split lip and the bruise covering most of the right side of his jaw. I winced phyically, remembing the events from the previous night, somehow it was clear even though the amout of alachol i had would of usually made things hazy. Were me and Harry togther now? Did Jamie hate me. I was pushed out of these thoughts by my phone buzzing under the pillow. I pulled it out, it was a unknown number on the creen Hi love, it's Sean fancy going somewhere today?x

'Who is it?' Harry asked me, wiping his eyes.

'Ur just Skye' i lied. I wasn't quite sure why i did it, it's not like Harry owned me, i was just being careful not to fuck up whatever it was that we had. I shoved the phone under the pillow decididing i would reply to it later.

'What do you want to do to today?' I asked Harry smiling. He yawned

'I'm not sure, let's get some breaky yeah' he chuckled. I nodded and we made our way downstairs. In the kitchen Cheska was sitting. Shit.

'Oh good, you're awake' she said dryly.

'Look Cheska i am so so sorry for last night i just-' i began before she cut me off

'It's not you girls im upset with, it's the boys' she said raising an eyebrow at Harry. Harry was about to speak up in protest and when niall and skye came crashing into the kitchen, laughing. I coughed and Skye looked up noticing Cheska, she quickly shut her mouth and came to stand beside, Niall following her.

'You two girls can go, but don't be expecting the boys to be able to hang out with you today' she told us. My stomach was rumbling but ignored it just wanting to get away from angry Cheska. Skye and I walked back up to the room.

'Hows things with niall?' i asked her intrigued

She just nodded happily smiling 'We're okay' she whispered. I dropped the subject and pulled my phone out from under my pillow re reading Seans message.

'who's that?' Skye asked me.

'Oh no one' i stuttered trying to shove my phone away but Skye grabbed it

'Oooo who's this?' she said winking.

'This guy i met at the pub now wil you give it back' i hissed, grabbing it off her. She giggled

'Ariel you know we're going home tomorrow right?' she said with her eyebrows raised.

'I know, i know, he was just really cute okay and i wasn't thinking and oh my god what do i do?' i asked her my eyes widening. She just shrugged. I moaned, she was no help.

'It's not like either of us really want to hang out here so i guess i could meet up with him, and you could come?' i asked her hopefully. She rolled her eyes

'No thanks i don't like being the third wheel' she giggled.

'No pleaseee Skye! You won't be i promoise' i told her.

'Fine' she gave in. I quickly pulled out my phone and typed a rushed reply to Sean

Hi Sean! Yeah i'd love to do something, wanna go to the cafe on the peir?x i asked him. I tried to shake the memories that filled my head of that cafe, Jamie being all lovely, harry coming to pick me up, our fight, our make up. I shook them all away and within seconds there was a reply from Sean.

Sure meet me there as soon as you can!x

I smiled and ran into the bathroom to have a quick shower 'WERE ARE WE EVEN GOING? GOD ARIEL YOU DON'T TELL ME ANYTHING' she whined. Suddenly i herd someone else come into the room and skye and them have a conversation. was that Josh?

'Did you wanna hang out today?' he asked her

'I thought cheska was keeping all you boys grounded' she replied, i could almost hear her crossing her arms making me giggle.

'Noo not me, she loves me' he chuckled

'Fine' i herd Skye give in. I smiled and hopped into the shower.
