"Holy shit." I say.

"Aspen?" Belles voice says. I stare at her and back to the other person on the bed. Then back to Belle.

And back to.. Liam?

"Sorry, I thought you would be asleep." I say. God I think they just had sex. Belle's in his shirt.

"Oh um well," She starts.

"I'm gonna go make some tea I'll be downstairs if you need me." I turn quickly and practically sprint down the stairs.

I get to the kitchen and boil some water. I feel like I could crawl out my skin I feel so uncomfortable.

I click a few numbers on my phone and wait.

Ring... Ring..

"What?" His voice snaps.

"Jeez what's your deal?" I reply.

"Nothing, you woke me up."

"You dropped me off like ten minutes ago?"

"I fall asleep fast." He replies.

"You'll never believe who I just walked in on belle with."

"Who?" He asks, becoming more interested.

"Guess."

"I don't know, Dylan?" He says.

"Nope."

"Niall? I heard they hooked up."

"No."

"Uh, Charles?"

"Closer." I say.

"One of my brothers?" He asks, his voice is so sleepy sounding and I love it.

"No, Liam." I say and he fake gasps on the other line.

"Riveting." He says sarcastically.

"Go back to bed you grump." I say.

"Don't wake me up again." He says lightly.

"Go to sleep." I say hanging up. I laugh a little to myself. I hear someone coming downstairs and I duck behind a counter. Am I really hiding right now? How old am I?

"Aspen?" Shit. It's Liam.

"Yeah, hi!" I say, jumping up, "I just dropped.." my eyes search for an object,"this butter knife." i say holding up a short knife with a ceramic handle.

"Oh." He laughs a little.

"Yeah.. so.. what's up?" I say in the least uncomfortable way possible.

"Uh, I'm just leaving, but nice to see you." He says.

"Nice to see you Liam t-too, nice to see you too!" I stutter.

He smiles and walks out the front door. I grab a mug and tip toe back up to Belle and my's room.

I creak the door open.

"No ones in here." She says.

"I wasn't looking for anyone, just didn't want to.."

She starts laughing.

"How the hell could you sleep with my Ex?" I say in the most obnoxious typical girl voice I could.

"Guess he was looking for someone with a little more to grab onto." She smirks.

"Hey, I'm a C now thank you very much." I say and she laughs.

"Well how was it?" I ask.

"Good, he's really cool." She says.

"Yeah I know." I say.

"Hey! You dumped him."

"I'm just teasing." I laugh.

"Yeah, we went to a party together tonight and just started talking, how's the Australian?" She asks.

"The Brit is good, thanks for asking." I say.

"Does his family still hate you?" She asks.

"Sort of?" I reply, I'm not really sure what they think if me at this point.

"That's good." She says climbing under the comforters.

"A huge accomplishment."

"Speaking of huge.. Liam holy shit."

"okay Belle too much." I say as I open the bathroom door and start brushing my teeth.

"Like I didn't even know what to do with it it was bigger than my head!"

I give her the most concerned look and she giggles as she turns off the light next to her bed and closes her eyes.

I climb into my bed and close my eyes.

Harry's POV:

I blink twice before I open my eyes completely.

I throw the comforters off me and put on a t shirt and go downstairs. It's only fucking 6:30? Why am I awake?

I make some coffee and turn around to see Graham sitting at the kitchen counter.

"Hi." He says.

"Hello." I reply.

"Can I have a cup?" He says.

"No, you're like two."

"I'm four." He says, defiantly.

"Doesn't matter." I reply.

"Uncle Charles gives me coffee."

"He would probably give you vodka if you asked," I say, "so don't ask."

The little boy replies with a shrug.

He seems way older than four. But I guess that's what happens to a kid when he's put in the most elite preschool in the country. He has a slight mix of an America and a British accent.

"Where is your wife?" He asks.

"She's my girlfriend." I correct him and he shrugs.

"Are you guys gonna have a baby?" He asks.

"No." I reply.

"Why not?"

"Babies are annoying." I reply.

"Big kids are annoying too." He says starring at me.

"Yeah, everyone's annoying." I say.

"That's not nice." He replies.

"The world isn't nice." I say.

"It isn't nice if you're mean to it." He says getting down from the counter, he sounds like a mini philosopher.

"See you around." He says walking out of the room and I can't help but laugh at the words coming out of a four year old.

I finish my cup of coffee and call Aspen.

Ring.. ring..

"What?" She asks, like she just woke up. I forgot it wasn't even seven AM.

"I'm bored." I say.

"Go back to sleep." She replies, I know she's pissed at me for waking her.

"Can I come over?" I say. She takes a moment and I can hear her say something to someone, probably Belle.

"Fine, just come in though I'm not getting out of bed." She says and hangs up.

I grab my wallet and head out the door.
