Saturday, March 22nd, 6:17PM

Once Stephanie entered the tent, her eyes landed on The 1975 then at Vanessa and Harry. The latter was mumbling at her cousin. Vanessa noticed that Stephanie was looking at her and smiled back. Stephanie groaned and exited the wedding shamelessly.

Zayn, who noticed her retreat, followed after her. He wanted to ensure that the wedding was going well, lifting away any would-be burdens. The musicians were performing Chocolate.

After he noticed that she went inside the cabin he walked to where Liam sat. The sullen guy drop his glass onto the floor. Zayn kneeled beside him, avoiding the broken glass.

"Wut happened?" Zayn asked as he furrowed his eyebrows.

"I told her how I've changed."

"What do you mean?"

"That it was all an illusion. I didn't want it to go on, inflicting poasible pain on her. I told her that you lads had nothing to do with it. Seeing Louis and Eleanor dance reminded me of her. You're right Zayn, I shouldn't have divorced my wife."

"Hey, remember, she cheated on you," he paused and continued. Man I should have kept my mouth shut, Zayn pondered. "You shouldn't have done that. Remember how you feel about her!" Zayn said.

Liam remained silent.

"Hey look! You took her to Spain!" added Zayn, he wanted Liam to get back to his senses.

"Well I was stupid for doing that," said Liam.

"Mate, you're being so stupid right now. I know you're not drunk! Stop the act."

But I am drunk.... said Liam mentally. He wanted to yell it out, but his brain would not let him.

When Liam did not respond Zayn got up. He helped Liam up. "Let me take you back to the wedding," he said. " You need a cup of coffee for the nerves."

"Thanks... Mate. I think... I'm being stupid. Need... time to think about it... I mean her," Liam tried to smile but looked like a groggy grin instead.

"If you really love her show her," Zayn finished.

Back in the dance floor, Vanessa reflected about her cousin. It was unusual to see Stephanie leave abruptly. She must be with Liam. She didn't want to be apart from him, Vanessa inquired.

Then she saw Zayn and Liam walk in without Stephanie. The two met her eyes and she wondered what happened.

When the five Aussies got up on stage the thought did not linger. They sang She Looks So Perfect acoustically. The same momentum of the music filled the dance floor. People were having fun as if they were dancing in the soft rain.

While Harry and Vanessa danced, he said, "Will you--" but Vanessa interrupted him.

"If I told you our song choice, it wouldn't change anything because 5 Seconds of Summer and the band you're in already performed."

"It's not that... I um... We've been friends for how long and I wanted... How can I put it?" Harry looked at his friends on stage. All of them nodded and smiled encouragingly. "I was going to ask you--will you go out with me?"

Vanessa's eyes expanded. She was tempted to giggle, as if Harry was joking around. As she saw his serious and nervous glaze, she restrained herself.

"Of course!" Vanessa beamed at him as he smiled massively.

"That's settled then! I'll take you to lunch before the battle of the bands. How does that sound?" Harry hugged her as they danced, while he smelled her sweet perfume. He closed his eyes.
