Jade

Jade arrived to the cafe an hour before the opening, she had to clean the tables and prepare snacks for future customers. She was wondering how Zayn's grandmother was doing, she was one of the nicest people Jade had ever met and that accident was terrible. Since he was gone, she had to take care of the cafe on her own, what wasn't the best thing to do. Just as she finished cleaning and put the 'Open' sign someone entered the building.

"Hi, welcome to 'Home'. How can I help you?" Jade looked up and saw one of the prettiest human being ever. The girl in front the counter had enormous green eyes, long dark hair and perfect eyebrows. Thirlwall shook her head and took her eyes off the stranger's smiling lips.

"Caramel latte for me, please" Jade smirked, because that was her favorite coffee. She quickly took out the cup, ingredients and started making a drink. While dark haired girl sat behind the counter and kept watching Jade's every move.

"Coffee for you...hey, are you okay?" Thirlwall put the pink mug in front of the customer. She noticed that 'Eyes' was no longer smiling, she looked quite pale and upset.

"I'm Lauren and my parents want me to marry a stranger" Jade frowned, although it wasn't the first time when one of the customers decided to tell her about their problems. They used to say that she looks nice and trustworthy.

"Jade. Do you like...need to talk about it?" She sat next to Lauren and sent her a warm smile. Dark haired girl looked at her with tears in eyes and Jade pushed by the unknown force hugged her tightly. She could feel that the other girl tensed, but quickly relaxed in her arms. Suddenly, the bell rang again and girls pulled away as quickly as they could. Tall boy with brown hair was standing in the middle of the cafe.

"Sorry, but is one of you named Lauren?" He sent them a warm smile and came closer. Jade frowned realizing that it was probably the future husband. She had to admit that he was extremely handsome and seemed to be really polite.

"I'm Lauren, Lauren Jauregui. So you are Liam?" She lifted herself and stood in front of the smiling boy. He quickly nodded and they both sat down behind the counter.

"Alright, can I help you? I would recommend some coffee and brownie" Thirlwall repeated the line she had already learned by heart and looked at the couple.

"No, thank you" Liam answered politely, meanwhile Lauren hid behind her coffee. She looked really stressed out, but who wouldn't be?

"Jade...sorry, but could you like...sit with me?" Jauregui raised her eyes and bit her lips almost to bleeding. Shorter girl hesitantly sat down and took Lauren's hand into hers, giving it a tight squeeze.

"I don't want this wedding as well, but I figured out we should pretend to be a couple...maybe become friends and than sort this out" Liam started calmly and Lauren seemed to be relieved.

Harry

"Oh...I was not expecting that. I came here, because we have the results" Harry said holding Gigi's hand tightly and discreetly eyeing Zayn. He was dressed in cute oversized hoodie and tight jeans. Styles realized that he was staring for too long when Louis gave him the 'don't stare looser' look. Curly haired lad quickly turned his attention back to his friends, but the tension got unbearable.

"Yeah...should I check it?" He broke the rising silence and got only some nods in response. Louis bit his lip in stress, as he stood closer to Gigi. Harry slowly opened the folder and looked inside. He gasped both in shock and sadness.

"Gigi, I am so sorry..." Hadid started sobbing and Harry closed her in comforting embrace. She was crying harder and her knees became week. In a second, Styles found himself on the floor hugging his friend. On the other hand, Louis looked relieved, but also worried at one time.

"Shhh...it's going to be alright" Curly haired boy was stroking Gigi's hair, as he helped her to get up. Zayn snapped out of shock and passed her some tissues.

"I believe you two should talk" Harry pointed at Louis and Gigi.

"You can go to my bedroom" Zayn quickly offered and the pair quickly nodded. Malik led them to his room and closed the door behind the stressed couple. He came back to the living room and finally faced Harry.

"I wasn't expecting to see you again, Harreh. Do you want something to drink?" He smiled slightly and lead Styles to the kitchen.

"Destiny is bringing us together, princess. Any kind of tea will be alright" Harry grinned revealing his dimples, while Zayn quickly turned around to cover his blush.

"Sorry for this weird scene going in your house. You probably have enough problems with your grandma" Styles spoke after a while and thanked the other boy for the tea.

"That's not a problem, I enjoy good company" Zayn answered when they both sat on the couch, slowly sipping their drinks.

"I'm glad you consider me as a good company" Harry smirked and their conversation slowly drifted towards the London and friends.

"What? Your friend's parents want to force her a husband? That is insane" Zayn gasped as they talked about Lauren. Their conversation was going really smoothly and both boys were surprised by that. Honestly, they felt like they had known each other for years not days.

"Yeah, I know. Lauren's parents were always messed up, but I've never thought it would turn into th-" Harry got interrupted when Gigi and Louis joined them downstairs. They looked rather calm than annoyed.

"Zayn, thank you for all of this. We are heading to the police station, Gigi needs to report that guy. When they find him I will kill" Tomlinson said clutching his jaw in anger.

"Oh, I will drop you off. Driving in your mood isn't the best idea. Thanks for the tea and hopefully, see you soon" Harry quickly got up and followed the pair to the corridor. To Zayn's surprise, Styles gave him a goodbye hug and saying that Malik was happy would be a big understatement.

"To the next, Prince Charming" Harry winked causing Zayn to blush even deeper.
