Chapter 21.

 *Harry POV*

“How many chicks you goin’ hook up with tonight mate?” Niall asked me as we walked to the party. Driving didn’t seem safe in this kind of party, being its New Years Eve.

“I don’t know, it is New Years Eve so hopefully-” I was cut off by my phone ringing. Niall ran ahead of me and greeted Louis, Rhaea, Chloe and Zayn as I fished my phone from my jean pocket, with much difficultly might I add.

‘Stupid tight jeans’ I muttered as I finally pulled it out, scanning the caller I.D.

‘Unknown’ it read and I was debating answering it, who know what shit it will be.

Deciding to answer it and put an end to its annoying ringing, I heard a lot of commotion on the other end.

“Hello?”

“Harry? Is this Harry?” the female voice asked, the noise level decreased as she probably went to a more private area.

“Yeah…who’s this?” I asked stern and demanding.

“Its Emma, Emma Morris. Lillian’s sister? I did your-” “I know who you are, what do you want?” I asked cutting her off. ‘Get on with it’ I thought as I reached the house. Niall and the gang motioned for me to follow and I simply held up my hand to tell them ‘in a minute’ and they entered.

“Its about my sister. Umm how is she?” Emma asked and I scoffed, rolling my eyes.

“I don’t know, and don’t really care…” I replied, probably sounding really arrogant, but I don’t care, I just want to go get wasted and maybe smoke a little.

“Harry please, I ask of you one thing. Jace he-e was my…he is my ex and-d he wants to hurt her-r. Hurt Lillian. Please-e H-H-Harry-y…” she spoke getting choked up.

“…don’t-t let Jace-e get her, she shouldn’t have-e to deal-l-l with him.”

“Look she’s not my responsibility. She’s a big girl and can take care of herself. I’m sorry but she is really worthless.” I replied and Emma sobbed on the other end.

“FOR FUCK SAKES! YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE! SHE NEEDS YOU!-”

I hung up before she could continue talking my ear off. Why would I care about her? I mean yeah I did maybe like her in the beginning but she’s really an annoying person.

‘No Harry you’re wrong, you know you want to help her, keep her safe, have her love you like you love…-’

I shook my head violently, scrambling my thoughts and getting rid of the ones plagued with her.

Well maybe not.

“Fuck it, lets go get plastered.” I said to myself, walking up the pathway to the booming house.

*Lillian POV*

Liam hasn’t left my side for the past two hours we’ve been here. I’m glad he’s sticking to his word, this place kind of creeps me out.

I’ve been looking for Chloe and Rhaea but haven’t found them anywhere. I’ve seen Zayn and Louis so I know that the girls are here but I’m getting this strange feeling they are avoiding me. Weird.

“Do you want a drink babe?” Liam asked, his hot breathe warming my neck.

“Umm…no…” I replied and he chuckled. He picked up his drink and offered it to me, but I quickly looked into his eyes and shook my head.

“C’mon, just one sip?” he asked and I gave in. It burned my throat on the way down. It was truly horrible, I couldn’t stop the body racking cough that accompanied the alcohol.
