When everything falls apart

I hate you...right?

“Jesus my head hurts.” I groan walking (half stumbling) down the steps. “Good morning!” Lucy chirps handing me a berocca, I gratefully except it chugging it down. “What happened last night?” I ask rubbing my head really feeling the head ache. “You kissed Harry styles.”

“I what?” I shouted wide awake now. “Kidding.” She laughs hysterically pushing a plate of egg and soldiers in front of me. “That was not funny.”

“It was; I mean I’m a genius.” I roll my eyes cupping my warm cup of peppermint tea. “You feeling better.”

“I feel like I can run a marathon,” I murmur sarcastically but mumble an apology to her once seeing her expression. “Want to talk about it?” Lucy asks carefully trying to decide my mood. I shake my head knowing she’s referring to Harry who seems to be the core of my problems. “Nope,” I reply hopefully stopping the conversation there. “Right c’mon were going out.”

“But...but,” I start but she sends me a look which means I should shut up. “Right give me about six hours to make myself presentable.” I warn she shakes her head laughing.

“Where are we going?” I ask Lucy slumping in the passenger seat. “Out;” She replies dismissing my question entirely “I mean it.” I groan she laughs cheekily pulling up to a dinner. “We’re having lunch really?” I say sarcastically not seeing the whole surprise factor.

“Yep with everyone;” I shot up trying to figure out who everyone was. “Which consists of whom?” i ponder on the thought of Mary being there. “Calm down Mary will be nowhere in sight.” She assures me I sigh in relief trailing along after her to the front of the diner. “Hey;” Danielle says looking way worse than I do when I spot something her hand is in Liam’s. Oh my god her hand is in Liam’s. Liam’s? Why Liam’s?  I gulped i don’t remember anything, “what’s going on with them?” I sharply whisper indicating Danielle and Liam’s intertwined fingers. “Wow you don’t remember a thing do you?” she whispers back I roll my eyes “I really wasn’t drinking that much.”

“Oh yeah right are you indicating that before or after you took the ten shots?”

“I took ten?” I gasp not even bothering to hide my embarrassment Lucy nodded slowly. “Did I say anything?” I ask weakly thinking of all the possibilities “nope not really just how much you hate harry.”

“Oh.”

“Yeah oh. It doesn’t matter everyone was just as drunk as you anyway.”

“That’s good.” I let out a sigh of relief sitting down with Lucy on my right and an empty seat on my left. “Who else are we expecting?” I ask looking around the room to find everyone here including Zayn, Liam, Niall and Jack. Before she could respond Louis walked through door immediately finding Lucy and waving to her. “Hi,” he says shyly looking to the ground. I smile sweetly waving “hey.”

“Is this seat taken?” He indicates to the one on my left. I shake my head “nope.” We sit awkwardly for a few minutes before i spot a too familiar head of curls. “Oh no.” I whisper grabbing Louis’s attention. “What’s wrong?” He whispers concerned I shrug keeping my head down. “You know styles?” He whispers I nod slowly making eye contact with his blue eyes. “You’re lucky.” He murmurs sarcastically “you have no idea.” I mumble back making him smile “how do you know him?” I ask curiously he shrugs “we’re mates.”

“Mates? You and Harry?”I gape at him noticing Louis doesn’t have a single tattoo or piercing he nods “I have a tattoo on my stomach just in case you were wondering and I did have a piercing.” He answers my unsaid question. I raise my eyebrows smiling flirtatiously “you’ll have to show me one day.”I whisper making him blush a little but he covers it up with a nod. I smile turning away from him before catching the eye of Jack who smiled at me. I winked playfully taking a chip from Louis’s plate who didn’t seem bothered at all. “Please I’m not going to finish them.” He offered me more but I refused “where were you last night?”

“I got caught up,” he answered blankly dismissing me. I rolled my eyes before stealing another fry making him chuckle. “Hey Jay can you come here for a minute?” Casey calls I roll my eyes if Harry hadn’t noticed me before he sure as hell would now. “Why?” I whine not even bothered to walk the couple of metres to her chair. “Here Jay swap with me.” Niall offers getting up I smile hoping to cover my annoyed front. I groan waving good bye to Louis before sitting next to Casey and Jack. Both smile at me but I don’t return it rubbing my head. “You look like hell.” I look up to see Harry opposite me smirking. “Thanks.” I remark not caring anymore. He frowns looking me over quizzically “what’s up with you?”

“What do you think?” I snap rubbing my head again groaning he laughs I stick my rude finger up making him laugh harder. “Mineral water usually helps.”

“I thought you didn’t drink.” I fire back slumping in my chair hoping Casey will jump in any minute to talk to me. “Wow Styles not drinking when every blue moon?” Jack chuckles making me giggle. “Who fucking asked you?” Harry snaps ruffling his hair his green eyes focused on Jacks blue ones. “Wild party last night,” Jack continues completely ignoring Harry’s question. I giggle again making Jack smile harder “you have no idea.”

“Ignore him you look pretty with your very... interesting up do.” I smirk pulling my long hair out of my messy bun. “Better?”

“Wait a second.” He laughs ruffling my hair messing it up more than before which i thought impossible. “Hey hey off the hair.”

“Now you’re perfect.”

Harry’s POV

I felt like I was going to barf. “Now you’re perfect.” She was even giving in I wanted to kick her. “Um when do you want to go over that presentation crap?” I ask her she rolls her eyes “um whenever I don’t actually care.” She mumbles I roll my eyes as she goes straight back into conversation with Jack making me fume. What was her problem? I saw Louis watching me but when I looked closer he was looking past me. He was looking at...Jay. I rolled my eyes as I watched his wide eyed stare. This was ridiculous I could never catch a break with this woman. I started twiddling with my thumbs when I heard a loud scrape and see Jay getting up and heading to the bar. I quickly get up following “can I have a mineral water?”

“Oh following my advice are we Carmichael?” I ask cheekily she looks at me the corners of her mouth just turning up. “Well apparently you’ve had more drunken nights then most so I thought your advice would come in handy.” I scowled eyeing her down as the bar attendant was taking quick looks at her cleavage. “Who told you that bright old Jack?” She kept silent taking small sips of the drink in her hand. “You need to stay away from him.” I whisper she looks at me strangely cocking her head to the side her bright brown eyes glued to my face.  “Who Jack? He seems sweet.”

“I mean it Jay.” I say strictly standing in front of her blocking her path. She sighs “get out of my way.” I can tell she’s angry from the way her fists are clenched. “No,” I fight back smirking at the way her eyes take on an anger that is strangely new. “I’m not in the mood for any of your fucking bull shit right now.”She growls I cock my head smiling harder “there was a time when you were so innocent that you would’ve gasped at the word stupid.”

“Well innocent isn’t in my vocabulary anymore.”

“I would hope not.” I flirt back trying so hard for my fingers to not reach for a stray hair falling in front of her face. She rolls her eyes pushing past me “hey...” I got to grab her elbow but she snaps back. “You can flirt all you want but I will never stop hating you.” I step back like she’s just punched me in the face I have no smart remark she stands there awkwardly before I swallow. “Right,” I brush past her trying so hard to not feel the touch of her skin on mine.
