Chapter 7

Harry's P.O.V

Street lights and cars flew past me as I made the familiar trip forward. I had already been driving for an hour. About twenty more minutes, and I will reach my destination. The radio volume was low, barely audible to my ears. I stared straight ahead, only focused on the road in front of me while images of her replayed in my head. She was beautiful. Long brown hair, and soft brown eyes that could tell endless stories with just one glance. I brought my hand to my eyes and rubbed, hoping to clear my mind. I looked back up just in time to turn into the parking garage. I made my way toward Jack's. The smell of whiskey and liquor hit me as I took my same seat at the end of the bar.

"Hi! Welcome to Jack's, how can I help you?" An overly enthusiastic woman asked.

"I'll have a water please."

She began to laugh. "Um you're at a bar. Are you sure you want a..."

I raised my hand to silence her. "Yes I'm sure."

She said nothing else as she disappeared behind the bar door. I glanced around the room and carefully tried to observe everyone. Some people were seated at the bar top alone, while couples filled the surrounding bar tables. The waitress came back and silently dropped off my glass of water before attending the person seated a couple of seats down from me. The water was cold and felt good running down my throat. Minutes passed, and I was already on my second glass. I glanced at the clock once more, and out of the corner of my eye I finally saw who I'd been waiting for. She walked through the door, her medium length blonde hair rested on her shoulders. She caught my gaze and immediately smiled exposing straight white teeth behind glossy red lips. Poor girl, she had no idea what she was about to get herself into.

Jennifer's P.O.V

"Jenn if you're not gonna eat that last bit, do ya mind passing it over?" I stared at Niall and shook my head before reaching onto the coffee table to retrieve the last piece of pizza.

"I can not believe you!" I'm in pain from practically spraining my ankle , and all you can think of is food!"

He began to laugh before biting down.

"Aww, I'm sorry! But I hate to say that none of this would've happened if you would've just waited for me. Have you not learned that doing things alone isn't the best thing for you?"

I hated to admit it, but he was right. I was already one of the most clumsiest people, and doing things by myself obviously didn't;t help the situation.

"You're right." I sighed in defeat. "I'm sorry for wanting you to be well rested after practically getting hammered the night before!" I narrowed my eyes at him and stuck my tongue out.

"Hey! It was my first night here and you promised that we would make the best of it! How long did it take you to limp all the way over here anyways?"

My mind automatically shifted to Harry. Should I tell Niall that he had found me once again? I decided to lie.

"About twenty minutes actually. It wasn't so bad." I shrugged my shoulders.

"Well I'm really glad that you made it ok." He smiled at me while patting my legs that were rested on his lap.

"Me too. Thanks for dinner, and for keeping me company." I smiled back at him.

"It's no problem at all. It's the least I could do to make up for not being there for you."

"It's ok, you're forgiven. Now let's pick a movie to watch."

"Rock Paper Scissors?" Niall smirked.

"Rock Paper Scissors it is!" I agreed and we both brought up our hands at the same time.

We ended up having a Jonah Hill movie marathon. On our third movie in my stomach was already aching from laughter. I turned to see Niall's eyes closed and his mouth wide open, loud howls and snickers escaping from it. He had the most contagious laugh. He didn't care what the circumstances were, if he thought it was funny then he would definitely make it known. It was definitely one of the best things about him. He was so carefree. I literally wish more people were like him. Things would be so much easier, and people would be so much happier. Out of all the movies we've watched together, I've never seen him laugh as much as he was laughing now.
