A/N: FIRST OFF I'M SORRY THIS IS LIKE A MONTH LATE AND IF IT'S COMPLETE SHIT. Sorry. 

“Liam Niall! Stop fighting! You’re both going to be twenty soon! Stop acting like children!” Gemma yells behind her shoulder at the two boys who are arguing over who gets to sit in the front seat of her car before turning to me. “You are sure you’re fine with riding with Harry?”

“Absolutely perfect Gemma” I tell her as I strap on the safety belt of Harry’s big car.

“She’s fine Gemma. Now go worry about those two” Harry says cutting off his older sister. Gemma smiles at me before heading over to her car. “Okay… Now we just have to wait for everyone to get situated so we can leave.”

“Zayn and Perrie aren’t coming” Louis says when he finally gets in the back seat with Eleanor.

“Awe, why not?” I ask a slight frown upon my face.

“They just want to spend time together before we go back on tour and before the movie comes out” Louis says and Harry nods at the comment.

“Movie? What movie are you talking about?” I ask confused.

“Our movie love, you didn’t see the ads on the television?” Harry asks his brow scrunching.

“I never really watched television back home” I say quietly.

“You’ve never watched television?!” Eleanor shouts causing Harry to jump and swerve a little and me to squeal and jump a little in my seat.

“No, Eleanor, I haven’t” I say trying to calm my heart rate.

“What kind of person never watched television growing up?” Louis asks confused.

“Someone like me” I reply coldly and everything got suddenly quiet. I can feel Harry glance my way as I stare out the window at the passing buildings and cars.

“Becca, are you alright?” Gemma asks me once she sees my face when I get out of Harry’s car.

“I am fine” I tell her in a clipped tone and she raises her eyebrows at me and holds up her hands. Huffing I make my way towards the building with the neon sign reading ‘Cosmic Bowl’. I didn’t even want to be here anymore. I just wanted to go back to my flat and take a relaxing bubble bath.

“How many?” An older man with graying hair asks. Louis quickly does a head count before telling the man how many were in our party. I gently tug on Harry’s sleeve.

“What is it, love?” He asks his eyebrows mashing together.

“Can I be on your team?” I ask hesitantly and a dimpled grin appears as he nods. Smiling I turn to the worker and tell him my size as I wait for shoes to come I start taking my shoes off, preparing to place them on the counter.

“Okay, here are the teams, since Niall is worthless at this game he’s going to be with Becca and Harry. Liam and Gemma you’re together and I’m with El. And break!” Louis yells and I laugh as we run towards the lanes. I picked out a bright pink ball while Harry got a black one.  “Get ready for an ass whopping!”

“Not likely Louis!” I say with a grin as I line up. I take a deep breath and set up. I release the ball and when I look up the bright pink ball is headed straight towards the white center pin. Seconds later the rest of the pins fall and I do a little victory dance as I walk over to Harry and Niall. Niall gives me a high five whilst Harry wraps me in his arms.

“That was a lot of fun!” I say as we walk out into the car park.

“Yeah, for you” Liam says sadly and I frown.
