IT'S BEEN A week since Harry and I's last encounter, and we haven't talked ever since. I just never really knew what to say to him. But that will change tonight, because I'm really planning on calling him. Just to check on him, I mean. I walk over to my phone that's on my bedside table and I look for Harry's number and click it to call him.

"Hello?" Harry says as he answers after a few rings.

"Hi Harry." 

"Oh, hi Niall. Why'd you call?"

"Nothing, just wanted to hear your voice."

"Oh."

"How are you, Harry?" I say after a few seconds of silence, just listening to each other breathing.

"I'm alright, I guess." 

"Are you sure? You wanna talk about it?" I ask him sincerely.

"No." Ouch.

"Oh.. Well, alright."

"I have to go, Niall."

"Oh yeah, sure- um, see you tomorrow night?" I ask him, internally crossing my fingers.

"Actually, I can't, I have plans." 

"Harry?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you trying to avoiding me?"

"I have to go." he says, once again, and hung up and that hurt me way more than it should.

I throw my phone on the bed and lay down and curl up into a ball and fall asleep, hoping that I'll stop over-thinking things.

The next day at about 4:30 in the afternoon, I get ready for the party that Liam's friend Andy will be holding tonight at his club.

I take a shower, choose my outfit, put my favorite matching friendship bracelet Harry got me for my birthday two years ago, put my shoes on, and spray some of my cologne on.

I check the time and see that it's only 5:43, but I have nothing to do here, so I decide to take a walk and get some fresh air.

As I walk, I see a park nearing, so I walk over to it and sit down on a park bench and just admire how beautiful the sun looks when it slowly sets, and as I watch the sunset I think of a few quotes. 

"She was like the moon- a part of her was always hidden."

"The sun loved the moon so much, he died every night to let her breathe."

"Tell me what is more beautiful; how the moon lets the sun shine throughout the day, or the way the sun lets the moon glimmer at night."

It really is beautiful.

My deep thoughts are broken by the sound of my phone ringing. I fish my phone out of my pocket to answer the call- which I see is from Liam.

"Hello?" I answer.

"Niall, mate! Where are you? The party's already started, come on!"

"Wait- what time is it?" I ask, confused and look at my wrist to see that I hadn't gotten a watch, but I do see the bracelet Harry gave me and smile to myself.

"It's only 8:00, why?" he asks. Have I really been here for that long?

"Oh, sorry. I'll be there in a few!" I say and hang up. I get up off the bench and walk back home and get in my car and drive to the club called "Funky Buddha Club". Who names a club 'funky buddha'?

I get there after 20 minutes due to traffic and I park my car and get down and take pictures with a few fans that found me and head inside the club and am greeted with sweaty (most probably drunk or at least tipsy) bodies dancing to some EDM and after checking a few girls out, I go through the sea of people and look for Liam or at least Andy to say hi.

After a few minutes, I find Liam with a drink in his hand and so I head over to him and I catch his eye and he slightly waves at me and I wave back and hug him.

"Hey mate, how are ya?!" he says, still hugging me and we let go of each other after a while.

"I've been better, I guess. I mean, I'm alright?" I shrug and think of something else to talk about, so that he doesn't ask me about my mood but he beats me to it.

"What's up?" he asks with a concerned expression, that's the first time anyone has been concerned about me in a while.

"It's nothing, just drop it please." I ask, a bit annoyed that he didn't get the hint, but he just shrugs it off and we continue to talk.

Could time possibly get slower?

Once again, a short chapter. HAHA. Awesome.

I'll post again in a few hours though, in someone else's point-of-view this time, and you probably already know whose it is, but yeah.

Picture on the side of Niall and Harry's matching bracelets, which they do have in real life!
