Resolution

Twelve : Harry

Twelve : Harry

When I woke up in the morning, I barely had time to shower and eat before the management and security teams were taking the band and me to the minivans in front of the building. We had a long day of prep and interviews before our premier later that afternoon and there was no time to recover from the previous night.

The five of us groggily got into the minivan and on the way to our first radio interview, Joey prattled off instructions. I was barely listening, focusing on keeping my eyes open. I got home at 1 in the morning then stayed awake a further two hours waiting for Liam and Niall to return just in case they decided to bring Saffron with them. I couldn't believe they managed to steal her away because I wanted to hang out with her.

Alas, they never brought her home so not wanting to appear too eager, I didn’t grill them then, I was waiting for a spare moment this morning to do so. 

When we were safely in the car, I turned around to face Niall and Liam in the back. "So how was last night?"

"It was good," Niall replied vaguely as Liam nodded along in agreement.

I frowned. "So you got into the party then?"

"With a little help from Saffron," Liam said.

"What do you mean?" I asked, slightly confused.

Niall shrugged. "She had a Roc Nation VIP card that got us in. Apparently she knew a model with lots of connections so she got the card ages ago and never gave it back."

"She's never mentioned that before."

"She was pretty vague about it but just like us, she's not too trusting just yet I guess."

I nodded in understanding. "Fair enough, so really Liam, how was it?"

His face broke out into a childish grin. "Oh it was sick. Had a conversation with Wiz Khalifa, he’s such an awesome guy. And Saffron can get down! She was up there with Niall rapping to Tyga, it was proper cool."

I smiled, picturing the image in my head. Part of me wished I had been there with her but the other part knew it wasn't really my scene. 

"I get her tonight," I announced. "You can't steal her because I want her."

Liam raised an eyebrow. "She's all yours mate."

Niall chuckled. "No need to get possessive, we knows she yours."

I slapped him over the head. "She's not mine, we're just friends."

"Oh yeah, flying your friend first class to New York then putting her in the nicest hotel in the city. And don't think Paul didn't tell us about you holding her hands in the hallway," Niall cut back quickly. "You're getting excited Harry and it's starting to show."

I knew we were stupid to talk here because unsurprisingly, Joey turned around and gave me a stern look. "We gave you a line, so don't even think about crossing it."

Louis scoffed. "Screw you Joey. Do whatever you want, Harry. I happen to like Saffron."

Joey was about to say something but Zayn cut him off. "Yeah but you also happen to hate seeing Harry in pain so why take the risk?"

I sat in silence, watching the boys cut back and forth. I felt like shit, this always happened because I was an idiot when it came to girls. I frowned to myself and cut through all the boys talking. "Stop," I said. "Just stop it. Saffron and I are nothing, we're just friends and I want to keep it that way."

"You're lying to yourself," Louis replied, squeezing my shoulder in a brotherly manner. "I haven't seen you this way since Taylor. Not with Kendall, not with Cara, not with anyone."
