Forever young

Chapter 4

Holly's POV ( Harry's best friend as well as Charlotte)

" just keep still char , the quicker this mascara gets on , the quicker we can go" I told my best friend char after she had been complaining about how long I was taking to put her make up on. I told her to blink one one last time and then stepped away to look at my master piece.

" so...do I look beautiful now?"

" yeah , actually I'm pretty proud of it" she looked like she didn't believe me and I wasn't surprised no one had really let me take charge of their make up or face paint before because they thought I would mess it up , the only person who would let me put anything on their face was harry , we have been best friends since we were 7 and he always let me mess around with him whatever it was.

I noticed Charlotte was still looking in the mirror and I'm not surprised , if I looked like that I'd be bringing the mirror out with me just to stare at my face! This is what you would call a Zayn Malik --he's obsessed with his face !

" ok , you ready to go to the party Holly?" I heard Charlotte shout up to me from downstairs . 'RIIIIIINNNNGGGGG' oh great why does the doorbell have to go now, we are about to go out. " Holly who's at the the door?" I let out a small chuckle at how ridiculous that question is.

" I don't know I'm in my room , just answer the door , if you know who they are let them in , if not ask them what they want" she listened to my instructions and I heard the sound of my front door open. I heard a voice that I recognised, that's when I realised it was haz , why is he here , not that I'm complaining. I quickly sorted out the last touches of my make up and turned around to go meet harry.

" hey haz , you ok?"

"Um..yeah look I need to tell you something ..... I don't really know how you'll take it"

" harry you know you can tell us anything right?" Charlotte told him and this was true us three had told each other everything , for example when harry told us he was bi we were perfectly fine with it, unlike some people I'm our school who I hate for being so mean to harry.

" yeah I know I can that's why I'm telling you guys first"

" ok but is it gonna take long ? We are going to a party , I don't wanna turn up late."

" HOLLY! Harry is trying to talk !!!" Harry didn't seem to take I too serious as I just saw his mouth turn into a slight smile , probably just amused at our bickering which there never is any point to and we never mean to be horrible to each other.

" ok so basically guys you know that boy in mine and Holly's form?"

" oh yeah yeah I know exactly who you mean !!" I looked my friends who were staring at me like I'm a complete nutter.

"What? " I asked.

" you don't know who harry means do you?"

" no but if it's a boy in my form it's easier for me to guess and I'm sure I know who he is"

" oh really who's the boy that came into out form just before Christmas? " harry asked me.

" ok ok I don't know everyone's names in our form but I do know that he looks like a panda , don't you think ?" The look they gave me , gave me the impression that they didn't agree , I honestly thought everyone in our class thinks he looks like a panda, maybe it's jut me then.

"Not really holly I think you're the only one. But can I maybe carry on this is a bit important?" I saw his small smile drop and I felt bad for him . I think I might talk too much , ah I need to stop being so loud.

" So basically from where I was, you know louis tomlinson ?" Me and char both nodded aware of who he was speaking about.

" wekissedandilikeditbutidontknowifheactuallylikesmeback so I really want you two to help me."

" Wait what calm down harry , talk slower please." I told him , he opened his mouth to speak.

" I kissed louis and he told me he likes me but I don't know if he's kidding or not". He let out a sigh of relief knowing that we wouldn't judge him.

" Awh that's so cute, not the bit that he might not like you but the kissing." Char did a mini fangirl moment.

" well you should speak to him haz, and why would he kiss you if he didn't like you, if he didn't like boys why would he kiss you? There has to be a good reason to why he did if he doesn't feel anything towards you" I comforted harry hoping he would feel better.

" yeah you're right holly , I think I'm gonna talk to him, do you mind if I walk to the party with you , I'm gonna go"

" no that's fine harry why would we mind? " char said really excited from what we were just told.

" yeah finally .... Sorry haz I probably seemed really rude, I've just been really excited for this and I got new make up and clothes !" Harry chuckled.

" yeah I noticed you two look really nice by the way."

Harry's POV

We walked because it was only about two minutes away and not even close to getting dark yet. Zayn's house wasn't hard to find and even if you didn't know where it was it was pretty damn obvious, the front door was wide open, and through the door was the loudest music imaginable. I hooked my fingers in the belt loop of my black, skinny jeans and pull them up a bit nervously. By now we had been joined by Ffion and Paige, two other good friends. I trusted Charlotte and holly not to tell the others, I checked my watch absent-mindedly, 10:26, the party had started a ten but it was the kind of party where you just showed up at anytime and were pretty much welcome. We walked through the door and in to the hall, where the music was, un-believably, louder than it had been outside.

"Hey Holly!" Corey exclaimed walking over, him and Holly had known each other well growing up. "Here!" He sounded a bit drunk, handing us each a can, I popped the top and took a gulp. I nearly gaged, I had never had alcohol in such large amounts before, maybe a bit of my parents, god I sound childish. Ffion giggled, drinking nearly the whole can in one.

I cheeked my watch, a bit blurry eyed, almost pouring beer all down my front, it was 11:47, I think it said, I hadn't even noticed time was passing, I had been sat for nearly an hour, chatting to Char, I looked around at my group of friends. Ffion had basically, after finishing her first can, joined some boys who looked aged about 12-16, yes a twelve year old, in some sort of shot game, which she was very evidently losing, but I was pretty sure if I had been invited to join them I would have, they were, even the 12 year old, pretty fit. I had been chatting to the other three, until Paige's American boyfriend, Derek had started texting her and at that point she pretty must zoned out. So it was me and holly and Charlotte, but for some reason it was just me and Char now, holly and Paige were, well.... They weren't arguing, more holly was incouraging socialisation,

"Paige, just go and talk to someone or dance, or anything."

"What's the address of this place?" She asked, she wasn't listening to holly,

"Paige, at least listen to me, c'mon.."

"Holly," Paige said, looking up. "I'm not about to walk off with some other boy, who will use me for tonight, then run off, and then have to explain to my actual boyfriend DEREK why I wasn't chatting to him." Holly rolled her eyes,

"You know that's not what I mean, I just meant, we're at a party, where your meant to socialise." She emphisazed the last word.

"Hey haz, did you hear me, earth to haz, earth to haz!" Char was trying to say something,

"Sorry, just thinking." She smiled, and said,

"S'ok. Look who just arrived." I looked to the doorway of the kitchen, where we had taken resident, and my heart skipped a beat. Louis had arrived, I saw Zayn go and chat to him and then pull him in the other direction to me, I could still see him though, I felt my phone vibrate against my leg, I pulled it out,

'Nice outfit, makes u look fit'--Lou

I looked up at him, grinning, and he winked at me.

Zayn's POV

Louis Tomlinson's face swam in front of me,

"...you know who looks fit?" I said slurring my words, I couldn't really control it, I pointed to a girl, wearing a skirt that was tight fitting, and probably 20cm in length,
