"No I did not!" I shout at Harry, laughing but grimacing. We are currently having an embarrassing argument about theater, earlier today. "I swear, Emma" He continued, holding in fits of laughter, "You looked so fucking red. Like a fucking tomato." He laughed and made the rest of the car laugh of course except for me. The car currently consisted of Tom (driving), Harrison in front, and Harry, Sammy and I squished together. Paddy is currently at a friends house, so he will not be participating in "Family Fun Night". We are currently headed to downtown London, to go to the cinema and go to some sightseeing tour they mentioned.

"Oh come on, Darling. I'm sure you were." Tom winked at me through the rear view mirror. Embarrassed, I hide into my phone and scroll through Instagram. I find a picture of Tuwaine Tom's friend, and Tom standing together, and like it. I comment, "Lookin' good, Tuwaine"I wish I could say the same about Tom. ;)" I tag Tom in the comments and smile to myself. "Oh lord, what is the devil smiling about this time." Tom smiles and winks at me. "Oh nothing, you might not want to check your Instagram though."I smirk, looking through the mirror, and into Tom's eyes. I notice his eyes widen and practically shouts, "Shit! Emma,I swear! Haz, open my Instagram please." He shoots me a death glare which only causes me to laugh, evilly. Harrison reaches for Tom's phone and opens Instagram. He taps the tagged edit and reads out loud, "Lookin' good, Tuwaine! I wish I could say the same about you, Tom" He starts laughing uncontrollably as well as everyone else in the car, of course except Tom. "Good one, Em" Harry says in between fits of laughter. He high fives me and I grin giddily. "Karma's a bitch, Em." He smirks at me devilishly. "Shit. Whatever, you're too lazy to get back at me." I giggle, knowing I've won, only a little nervous of the next comeback. "Oh...that's what you think. Just wait, Love. When you least expect it..." He took a dramatic pause, "Expect it!" He whispered the last part which sent a chill down my spine. I shrug my shoulders, debating whether or not I should put mercy on my next prank.

As we drive along the brightly lit road, I notice all the family's walking along the rainy sidewalk. I notice this one couple, a beautiful,auburn headed female on a guy with gorgeous brown hair's back. They are a cute couple. Both beautiful. I need a boyfriend, I think to myself. Wait,what the hell am I thinking. I could never get a boyfriend in a million years..nor do I want one.

It is odd how the rain somehow drowns the August air. We pull closer to what seems the bowling alley. The big, neon sign jumping out at me screaming "Bowling and More!" Is more than obnoxious.
I stare at the huge sign, getting ready to win the whole bowling alley and trampoline park.

We walk in unison, the empty trampoline park appearing seemingly eerie. I hear a stifled laugh from a young lady and turn my head.
And then I see him, Hugging another girl. And making out?

I know I shouldn't be upset, but I feel as if I had been punched in the gut.

"Oliver?"
