"Are you okay Louis?" Niall asked as he walked down my bedroom stairs.

"Yeah Ni. It's been a month."

"Are you sure you want to go out with Harry though?"

"Yeah." I nodded and popped my head out of the closet. "He's apologized and I have expected it."

"I don't think you should have done that."

"Why's that?" I asked as I slipped into my light blue ripped skinny jeans.

"You know. He's made your life complete shit Louis. You can't be friends with him. You just can't."

"Niall save your breath if you're going to not be supportive. I need a friend and he's my only option right now that knows what I'm going through alright?" I said as I put on my light blue v neck tee.

"Well don't get to close to him Lou. He's done some pretty bad things. I don't want you getting tied up in this."

"Stop acting like moms. Just because you graduated doesn't mean you suddenly know everything." I said and stepped into my white vans.

I walked out of the closet to see Niall with an angry expression as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"You know what you need Clover?"

"What?" Niall asked annoyed.

"A fuck. Or at least a blow."

"No I don't." he said shaking his head.

"Yes you do." I nodded. I then went up the stairs calling out, "Call Selena over!"

I then grabbed my wallet, keys, and phone, before heading out the door and to my car, to meet Harry at Cold Stone.

I got in to my new blue cube car and turned on the radio. I put on my seat belt and then backed out of the drive way to the road that I needed to get onto. I drove in silence so I could keep myself calm. This is the first time Harry and I are seeing each other since Liam's death. I'm pretty nervous. But I pulled up and got out anyways once I arrived at the ice cream shop.

I walked up and saw Harry waiting by the front door.

"Hi Harry." I spoke as I stood in front of him.

He looked up and signed, "Hi Louis."

"Ice cream?" I smiled.

Harry nodded.

We then turned and walked inside. We got in line once we did.

"Hello what would you two gentlemen like?" the girl behind the counter asked.

"I want cookies and cream." I said and then turned to Harry. "You?"

"Same." he signed.

"He'll have the same thing." I said to the lady.

She nodded and got to work on our orders. After that she handed them to us and we paid. We then walked off and sat down away from everyone else.

"So how are you keeping up?" I asked Harry after we had a few bites of our ice cream.

"Alright." Harry signed. "You?"

"I've been okay." I sighed with a shrug.

"Are you going to Liam's funeral tomorrow?"

"Yeah." I nodded. "Are you going Harry?"

"I don't have a ride to go." he signed upset.

"I'll take you."
