Okay, hey guys :) sorry for the impromptu hiatus. I felt like I forgot how to write … if that even makes sense?? And I recently watch Jack Harries’ new video and it inspired me to just follow his lead and start writing again. I will not be updating everything immediately as I’m going to start slowly and gradually start making more time. But for now I promise to update 1 every 2 weeks. Its very slow but I promise I’ll start gaining momentum again and bump it up to Sunday and Thursdays xx
Okay without further ague here is Chapter 14 of 8 steps to his heart :) xx

Chapter 14
Harry’s POV
I got home and was getting ready for the party and I was about to freak out because I didn’t know what to wear. Whilst I was taking apart my closet my mum walked in. “Harry, what on earth are you doing sweetie?” I could hear her trying to stifle her laughter.
I just turned and glared at her. “Obviously trying to find clothes mum! Please help me?” I gave her a pleading look.” She stopped laughing and started picking clothes up around her. “Where’s Niall? Doesn’t he usually help you with these things?”
At the mention of his name I started to feel a certain loneliness. “No, he’s decided that he doesn’t care anymore I care” I sighed remembering our argument earlier this afternoon.
“Honey, maybe he just cares too much.” Before I could question what that meant she held up an outfit choice for me. “How about this?” it was a grey knitted sweater (Like in the You & I mv) “You can even wear it with those horrid black jeans you keep insisting on wearing, and that way you’ll be warm”
“Thanks mum, good choice!” she smiled as she walked out. I had to look hot tonight. Louis had to be mine. I’d been waiting for this for the longest moment and it was finally here.
Surprisingly I wasn’t as nervous or excited as I’d imagined, I figured that it was just my way of being prepared and ready. It had to be. Before I could overthink things my phone beeped, signaling a message.
I looked at it and smiled at the text reading.
“I’m outside – L”
It was literally two words and an initial, but because it was from Louis it meant the world. I was that far gone for him. Every little thing he did was perfect. I hadn’t even spent any time with him yet but I could see it already.
I hopped down the stairs, smiling and anticipating the night. Would we connect tonight and hopefully share our first kiss? Or would he wait until we had our first date?
By the time I got to the car my mind had exhausted different scenarios of how the night would go. “Hey” I smiled innocently at Louis as I got to where he was waiting, leaning against the car.
“Hey to you to.” He said as he surprised me with a hug. This was a good sign right? He was being affectionate! I walked to the other side and got into the passenger seat.
“You look good tonight.” Louis said to me as we drove out of my street. I fought a blush, thanked him and reciprocated the compliment. “So is Niall gonna be there tonight?” Louis asked.
My good mood was being dulled for the second time that day. “I don’t know, we haven’t really spoken today.” I avoided Louis’ eyes cause I felt guilty missing Niall whilst I was in Louis’ company.
“I’m sure you guys will be fine, these things happen.” He hand landed on my thigh and squeezed lightly. If I wasn’t blushing when he complimented me, I definitely was now, and all because of a little physical contact.
In no time we pulled up to the party. Loud music was blasting from the house and teenagers, drunk and sober were moving in and out through what I assumed was the doorway.
“Okay, lets go have fun!” Louis called from outside the car. We walked in and were greeted with the strong smell of alcohol, smoke and sex. The house was crawling with people, both from our school and elsewhere.
The music was loud and booming and the laughter and chatter was heard amidst the beats. “Wanna dance first?” Louis yelled above the music. I nodded shyly unsure of how I was going to pull this off.
He pulled us to the centre of the crowd, grabbed my hips and started moving us to the beat of the song. My body was on fire and not because of the heat of room.
We were grinding slowly, feeling the beat with our bodies for about 3o minutes or so and I was in heaven.
This is what I had been craving for so long and I was finally getting it. Louis interrupted it by asking, “You want a drink?” I nodded. I decided that I would go find Niall; I knew that he would be here somewhere, make things right and tell him what had happened.
He was my best friend after all and I needed someone to share all of this with, he was it, he was my person, so to speak. I started outside, he was claustrophobic so I wouldn’t look anywhere with crowds.
After 10 minutes searching I decided to just go to the kitchen and see where Louis was. When I walked into the kitchen I finally found Niall, but not the way I was expecting. I honestly couldn’t believe my eyes. “WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN HERE?!?”
