Harry’s POV

I was getting ready for my annual family reunion. I was finally done with my “Up All Night” tour and it was saddening, but I was excited to see how everyone was doing. I had just finished my hair when Louis had just come out of the shower examined me from afar. Oh, Louis.

“So, you are all dress up,” He said.

“Yeah,” I replied.” I got that family reunion. I grabbed my phone and put on my jacket. “Oh, Lou! I’m leaving!”

“I LOVE YOU!! BYE!!” He screamed. I chuckled.

“LOVE YOU TOO, BYE!” I walked out the door and began to walk to the party hall, since it was only a block away. As I was walking, I thought of everyone I would see there, including my childhood friends who over the years had become like family. Like Jillian. Oh, god, I missed Jillian….I hadn’t talked to her since the album came out and I think more than anyone, other than my mom, I was excited to see her the most.

I had finally reached there and as I walked in I saw a massive crowd of faces belonging to the people I had missed so much. I saw Mum, my step-father, all my uncles, aunts and cousins….but no Jillian. I greeted everyone and put my coat away and mingled for a while before I tried to find her. Then while I was talking to one of my cousins, I saw her out of the corner of my eye. She looked……damn……..she was beautiful. Her ginger-red hair fell down perfectly around her cherubic face and her purple dress hugged her curves like a….wow, I can’t even describe it. I excused myself to go to her, but slowed down once I saw her with what I think was her boyfriend. I pretended to be on my phone, but my mouth secretly clenched when I heard their conversation. 

“I don’t give a fuck if YOU want to stay here; I have things to do in the morning! So we’re leaving!” He scolded her.

“Well, Finny, you should have said that before we even came here!” She protested. She breathed in. “You know what, even though you may not want to see your family, I want to see mine! It’s been a really hard year, especially since I haven’t had Harry to talk to, so why can’t you just get it through your fucking thick skull that I WANT to be here!” My heart stopped for a minute. Finny stood there for a minute then grabbed Jillian’s arm and dragged her outside. They shot past me, and she saw me, she tried to slow down but, he had a tight grip. I stood there for a couple of minutes, and then decided to investigate. Just to see if she was okay, after all the guy was a dick.

Before I even got the chance to walk outside I saw come back in, but alone this time. She looked weak, and worried something was different about her. I examined her then suddenly it hit me... she was covering her cheek. She was covering it when she got in, as she grabbed her coat and as she was about to walk out. I quickly got my jacket and went after her. By the time I actually got out she was already walking down the sidewalk. I yelled out her name and she turned to see me, her hand still on her face. But, she seemed to grow more hopeful then upset as I walked closer to her.

“Hi,” I said smiling. I probably looked like an idiot. “Umm, so, how’ve you been?” We began to walk together.

“Hi, Harry,” she started. “Erm, I don’t know...good?” I looked at her, not surprised but suspicious.

“It’s that jackass boyfriend, isn’t it?” I thought, but kept cool.

“How have you been?”
