"What should I get for the dinner tonight?" I ask Harry with curious eyes.

"Let's get macaroni and cheese. It's perfect for us and Niall. You know he would love that," Harry said smiling thinking about his friend. I love that he's thinking about him and his benefits. They have really become best friends in this short amount of time.

Hand in hand, we walk to where the macaroni is and put it in the small cart. We get three boxes because we all know Niall is going to eat two boxes.

We go to check out and someone accidentally bumps into my shoulder. I turn around and I see it's Zayn.

"I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking- oh, hey, Caly," He said stumbling on his words. I didn't expect him to be here.

"It's fine. Zayn, this is my boyfriend, Harry. Harry, I invited Zayn to dinner tonight, I hope you don't mind," I said to Zayn and then Harry. I hope we can all get along at dinner.

"Hey, Harry. Nice to meet you." Zayn stuck his hand out to share Harry's. Harry looks sternly at Zayn, but shakes his hand.

"Yeah, you too," Harry says under his breath.

"Well, see you later," I say trying to break the tension.

"Yeah," Zayn said walking off.

I turn to Harry and smile, but he doesn't return the gesture.

"What's wrong?" I ask concerned. I never wanted Harry to feel down. Ever.

"I don't like that guy," he said blankly.

He doesn't like Zayn? I thought he was really nice just now. Why would he even have a reason for disliking him?

"Why?" I ask. I seriously want to know why he wouldn't like Zayn.

"He's giving me the wrong vibe. I don't know, I just don't like him," Harry said looking straight into my browns. He seems so serious.

"Well promise me at dinner, you won't do anything. I want everyone to get along."

"Anything for you, my love." There are the butterflies again. Out of all the feelings in the world, this one is my favorite.

We pay for the food and walk out of the store. I'm getting more and more excited for dinner tonight. All of my friends in one place at the same time sounds like the best day ever.

A couple of hours pass and it's time to go to go to Madison's. I put a little more makeup on and hop in the car. Harry's hand makes its way to my thigh. This is my favorite thing about being in the car with Harry.

We make it to Madison's and Harry and I's hands intertwine as we walk to the door. Madison and Niall open the door. Madison has the dining table set very elegantly. She really went all out for this.

Harry and I sit down at the table next to each other. We all start making conversation when the door opens again to reveal Louis... and Hope?

Why is she here?

Niall suddenly gets really tense when they walk in. I forgot to ask Niall what's up with him and Hope. Maybe I'll ask later.

Louis and I make eye contact and I quickly turn my head. I didn't want to make this more awkward than it already was. I'm praying that the rest of the night isn't like this.

Madison soon gets up to greet her friend. I should get up, too, right? I decide to get up and hug the both of them. I'm hoping this will make it less awkward between us.

Zayn soon makes his way into the house and I introduce him to everyone. Louis and Zayn start talking, so I make an effort to talk to Hope.

Niall interrupts us to ask if we can start eating. Everyone laughs and says yes. We all grab plates and start to fill them with all kinds of food. Just as I thought, Niall's plate has more food on it than all of us combined.

We all sit at the table and start eating. Everyone's faces are filled with food, so no one starts to talk. When everyone starts to stop eating and I stand up and raise my drink.

"I would have never imagined I would be eating a Thanksgiving dinner with my closest friends. Thanksgiving is about giving thanks for the people you love, and guys, I-I love you all. I'm so thankful for each one of you. Harry, I want to thank you for the most. Thank you for loving me and breaking down my walls. Thank you for being the only person that can do that. I love you more than words. And guys, thank you for being there for me. I love you guys," I say as tears start to come down my cheeks.

Harry stands up and hugs me so tight, I can barely breathe. I don't care though, all I care about is Harry being in my arms.

"I love you so much. More than you will ever know," Harry whispers in my ear.

We hug for what feels like forever and then I turn to Madison. She has tears dripping from her eyes as I wrap my arms around her.

"I've been waiting for you to say that to me since the day I met you. I love you, Caly. Thank you for being my friend," Madison says through her sniffles.

After Madison and I break the hug, I turn to Louis. I run to hug him. Even though these past few days have been very awkward, he's still one of my best friends. He's had my back from the start and I love him for that.

Niall and I hug and then I look at Harry once more... with Louis? They are talking? Since when are they friends again?

Just when I thought my night was going good, Louis walks up to me. I don't want my night ruined by him. I try to turn away from him, but Louis is now right in front of me. He stands there awkwardly for a moment before speaking up.

"Hey, uh, thank you for making Caly happy. Thanks for taking care of her," Louis says looking down at his feet. Why is he thanking me for this?

"The thing I want most is for her to be happy. I'm going to make her happy for as long as I can. Why?"

"I'm just saying thanks, don't push it," Louis says. Just when I thought he was being serious, a smile starts to form on his face. I let out a breath I wasn't aware I was holding and smile back. Louis turns away from me to leave me thinking what the hell just happened.

Today has been so weird, but the good kind of weird, I guess.

But I would do it all again to see Caly smile the way she did tonight.
