*By the time I actually post this, multiple chapters of ALAYLM will be up. Figments will still undergo the actual writing process and I'll be back to having heavy writers block or I'll be brain dead from writing back to back.*

I'm having heavy writers block for ALAYLM and Figments is becoming so complex and I honestly don't have time to sit down and write so in the meantime, I'll be updating this.

P.2/P.2

Leigh-Ann lifted their intertwined fingers up and spun herself around. A lively giggle escaped her lips.

"Ann, baby girl, I love you. I truly do but we're walking and you've spun yourself around twice without warning. You're gonna fall." You're gonna drag me down with you-we'll laugh about it and then you'll cry over Justin because that's what you do. That's all you can do. Harry thought, bringing her closer to him and sighing before placing a soft kiss on her beanie.

"I love you too, Harold but shh." Ann cooed, giggling once more as she wrapped her arm around his torso. "It doesn't matter anyways because you'll catch me if I fall, right?"

"Of course but that's not the point." Harry frowned, placing another kiss onto her forehead. This time it was beyond gentle and held some time of sentimental value. It was almost as if he felt sympathy. Ann was too tipsy to realize.
It was only ten and Ann was almost off her rocker. To top it off, she wanted to go to a small pub similar to Bill's. However, this pub blasted music at any hour, from Jazz to Soul, to relaxed RnB songs. When it came into view from across the street, Ann gave off a toothy grin. An obnoxious flashing sign read Smooth. Ann began to pull Harry down the sidewalk until they met the cross walk. The city could be dead or alive around this time. Sadly, it was lively so they had to wait a moment longer than usual after pressing the button. Ann twirled around and when she noticed the flashy white outline of a man, she began to pull Harry down the intersection.
Like a gentleman Harry was, he opened the door for Ann, never letting go of her fragile hand. He followed behind and eyed the crowd. A sweet smell of toxins pervaded the large floor plan. Ann stared at the bodies intertwined and her eyes watered and awe before dragged Harry down the small flight of stairs and onto the floor. A light instrumental played and Ann instantly clung onto Harry. Harry chuckled before lightly placing his hands onto her waist. Ann's arms were wrapped around Harry's neck and her eyes burned into his before she nuzzled her head into the side of his chest.
Throughout the night, the two danced together small talk was exchanged between the two young adults and other couples, drinks were passed around and live bands performed throughout sessions. With Harry's arms gripped onto Ann's waist, she knew she was safe.
"Harold." Ann cooed, lifting her head off of his chest, staring into his vibrant eyes once again.
"Yes, baby girl?"
Her eyes were soaked, a pool rested at the brim of her eyes as she looked down for a moment.

"I love you." She stated.

"I love you too." He replied, without thinking.

"Thank you for everything, seriously. I couldn't ask for a better roommate, best friend, or someone to simply care. No one compares to you, Mr. Styles." She nodded, staring into his eyes and wiping away the tears that now ran down her cheeks. Harold glided his thumb across her smooth cheek and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead before embracing her further more.

"Stop crying, beautiful. There's no need for that. I'm always here, no matter what. I promise." He whispered against her hair as the music got slower and they swayed side to side. His eyes stared off at nothing in particular but in the direction of the bar, he found himself thinking of how thankful he was to have someone like Leigh-Ann in his life. Although, he covered his issues within her own, she seemed to be a distraction and ultimately, she made him realize how welcoming her company truly was, depressed or not.
