"Sweetheart, let me tell you something no one ever believes, but I swear to you is the absolute truth. You fall in love more than once. It'll happen again. And it will be just as amazing and extraordinary as the first time."

The sound of the keys clicking against each other and the small Hulk figurine was drowned by the sound of music and the words of different conversations being carried around the room as he continued to tap the keys over his knee, his eyes over Mel as she finished telling a story that Harry had lost track off; he had taken the seat that Mila had left almost twenty minutes ago, with Sophie next to him and half the water bottle already gone.
This wasn't exactly how he had pictured his night to go, but Zayn had asked for his help, and despite how much he had wanted to refuse, here he was, because Zayn had acted as his wingman before and now, it was his turn; after all he wasn't going to die if he didn't have fun at one party.
"Oh god, I'm starving" her words were soft, but they were still close enough to him for Harry to hear them clearly, his head snapped away from Mel and towards her.
Sophie wasn't looking at him, her eyes were cast down over the empty plastic cup she was holding, her dark hair rolling down her shoulders as Harry looked at her.
"Thank god" he whispered, she frowned and turned to look at him. "I'm starving too" she raised an eyebrow and he shrugged with a soft smile over his face.
"This is your friend's house right?" she turned her body to face him better, the story that Mel was narrating had long been forgotten by both of them.
"Yeah" he nodded at her, he paused the tapping of the keys on his knee.
"You think maybe they have something we could eat?" she whispered, an alcohol induced blush over her face.
"Oh no" Harry shook his head, his curls swaying around as he tried not to chuckle "You'd get food poisoning and I'd never hear the end of it from Red" he looked down at the keys and his eyebrow shot up before he turned to look at Sophie. "But there's a McDonald's nearby" a soft smile spread over her face "What do you say?"
"Let's go get some food" she smiled, gripping the empty cup harder.
"That's the spirit" he winked, he pressed his hands over his knees and pushed himself up to his feet with a soft grunt escaping his lips, Mel and Audrey glancing at him as did the other two girls that had joined the small group; he turned to Sophie and extended his hand out to her. "Lapena"
Sophie looked up at him and her soft blush intensified before she reached out and took his hand, Harry wrapped his hand around hers and tugged her to her feet.
"Where are you guys going?" asked Audrey, she eyed Sophie for a few seconds before she turned her attention to Harry.
"To get some food" Harry shrugged, he let go of Sophie's hand and glanced at the rest of the girls. "If you see Zayn let him know I'll be back in an hour or so" Audrey opened her mouth but Harry was already turning his attention back to Sophie. "Let's get out of here"
"Lead the way" Sophie chuckled, she turned around to face the exit of the living room, and Harry turned around as well, his hand landing over the back of her shoulder and with that he started walking towards the hallway, guiding Sophie just a few steps ahead of himself.
