"What the f*ck?" Niall said.

Liam and I sat up.

"Niall we-" Liam stopped his sentence when Harry stepped out of the hallway.

"What?" Harry asked Niall.

I was speechless.

Harry.

Everything came back to what it felt like to have him here. Always together. Always goofying off and jacking around.

I can't believe he came to see me. And look where I am.

Even though we weren't together, I felt so bad.

Maybe he broke up with me but... ugh my mind is an emotional mess right now.

Why did it have to be Harry to come in?

I take it from his averting, nervous gaze that he didn't see anything.

I silently prayed Niall wouldn't say anything.

"Nothing. Just um... weird to see Liam beat us here." Niall shook his head.

Liam and I hopped off the bed.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked.

"Could ask you the same question." Niall looked questionably at Liam.

"Uh... wanted to say hi." Liam nodded.

I can't believe Niall didn't rat us out.

Great. This made things a lot better. Note the sarcasm.

I looked at the curly haired boy in front of me that hadn't changed much.

"Wh- Why is he here?" I asked, rubbing my hand up my arm, trying to get rid of a bad case of the shivers.

"I made him." Niall said.

He looked like he was struggling to say anything to me.

Now I was full of guilt.

But the thing was I had nothing to be guilty for.

Liam was single. I was single.

We kissed... big deal.

I cringed noticing I was making my way through the band.

First Louis. Then Harry. Now Liam.

Not to even mention Drew!

Jesus Emily when did you turn into such a slut?

"You're not a slut." Three voices said at once.

I snapped my head up.

"Did I say that out loud? Oh. Oops." I bit my lip.

"Why would you think you're a slut?" Niall asked, a tad smirk on his lips. Stupid leprechaun.

"Um... never mind that. I was kind of... doing something so why are you here?" I asked, getting impatient with Niall.

"Oh you were doing something." He chuckled. Harry looked confused.
