A Public Affair (A Harry Style Fan Fiction)

Don't Lie

Harry’s POV.

We had been in the club for at least an hour and thirty minute and already people were having a good time. Niall, Liam and Callie were preparing shots for everyone. I was pretty sure that they didn’t know what to poor into the shots meanwhile Louis and Eleanor were dancing on the dance floor. I turned my head to see where Zayn was but he was nowhere to be found. He was probably outside the club having a smoke or talking to Pez. Their relationship was definitely something; they were either fighting and arguing or not talking to each other. If it were me, I would never be in a relationship that consumed this much of my energy but I wasn’t going to judge his relationship, it wasn’t my place to talk. I was taking some pictures with some fans in the club when my eyes spotted Liz; she was sitting on a couch far from the exit with her hands on her cheeks. She clearly wasn’t having the time of her life and I felt bad for not being next to her to make her feel a bit better. I finished taking the last pictures with the fans before wishing them a wonderful night. I walked over to where Liz was but only to get drag by Niall and Liam. They were offering me some shots and knowing those two, if I didn’t have at least one shot, they would be up my arse all night long so I drank the odd liquor. Yeah, let’s all pray the good lord that they don’t become bartenders because their drinks could wake up a corpse. I grimaced before walking away from them, the sour taste not leaving my tongue. I sat down next to Liz and made her jump a little. I apologized but she just gave me a small smile.

‘’Aren’t you enjoying yourself love?’’ I asked her, getting a bit closer to her so she could hear me out.

‘’Yeah… I’m having the time of my life.’’ She said trying to give me a big smile but I knew it was fake.

‘’You are lying…’’ I trailed off. I didn’t want to accuse her of anything but when people lied to me, I get annoyed.

She looked me in the eyes before standing up from her seat. She turned around to face me before leaning a bit forward. She put her hands on her knees and yelled through the sound of the music. ‘’Fine, I’ll enjoy myself.’’ Before walking away from me. I watched her as she was making her way to Liam, Niall and Callie. They all took some shots and I shook my head. I wasn’t a heavy drinker, I only had drinks when I was around with my friends but Liz seemed to have a very interesting relationship with alcohol. I had to remember that the first time I hung out with her; she drank too much and ended up throwing up in our car. I slightly laugh at the memories of her before snapping out of my little bubble. Zayn was sitting next to me with an annoyed expression on his face. I tapped his shoulder to comfort him. He simply looked at me in the eyes before shrugging his shoulder and walking away from me as well. I stayed here for a minute, trying to visualize what my lads and close friends were doing. Niall, Callie, Liam, Keirsten and Liz were having a laugh with drinks in their hands meanwhile Lou, Tom and El were trying to discuss something with the loud sound of the music in the background. It was funny because when you think about it, more than half of the people that were here were underage drinking. I wasn’t legal in the US and I knew that the papers would give us a hard time tomorrow but frankly I didn’t mind because I was surrounded by the people I loved and I was close someone I liked. I stood up and made my way to Lou and Tom. I stayed there talking to them for the major part of the night, looking around every now and then to check on Liz.

I was now talking to Michael from 5 Seconds To Summer when I felt someone’s hand wrapping around my waist. I looked down to see Liz’s head leaning on my back. I wasn’t going to lie, I was happy that we were that close to each other. Since the beginning of the night, all I wanted to do was kiss her but I just kept my distance because I didn’t want to rush anything and the fact that she was leaving in 7 days really sucked. I put my arm around her shoulder so that she was beside me. We stayed like this for a moment, just the amount of time I needed to finish my discussion with Michael before walking away with Liz still under my arm. She didn’t say anything; she just kept her head down. She tripped a few times and that was my clue to know that she was smashed. I sighed but nobody could hear me since the music was loud. I didn’t know if I loved this part of Liz because it wasn’t normal that people got so drunk but again I looked over at Niall and Liam who were as drunk as Liz. I made her sit down on the couch we were on earlier, her whole body just fell on the couch. Her curls were all messed up and she didn’t care. She brushed her hair away from her face before flashing a drunken smile at me. Even though she was drunk, she was beyond beautiful. Her eyes were a shade of dark blue, her red lipstick was fading away and the red was turning into a slightly pink tone, bleeding on her chin. The black color of her jumpsuit was bringing out her pale skin, porcelain skin. I snapped out of it when a laugh escaped her tiny lips. She stretched her arm out so that she could pass her hand in my hair. I didn’t stop her, if she wanted to touch my hair; I wasn’t going to be the one stopping her.
