   *ZAYN'S POV*

     Where was Harry and Natalie? What if he didn't find her? What if she got hit by a car! WHAT IF SHE DIED! OK... calm down Zayn. I glanced over at Louis who was pacing around, drowning in his thoughts. Niall was sitting on the couch trying to find a sports channel, figures. Liam was leaned against the wall, deep in thought, biting his nail. Everything is fine. I'm sure they're on their way right- my thoughts were cut off by the door to the flat swinging open. Harry walked in, head hung low, staring at the ground. "WHAT HAPPENED!?" Louis, Liam, Niall, and I yelled in unison. "I-I..." Harry stuttered, sadness filling his voice. "OUT WITH IT MAN!" Louis screamed shaking Harry's shoulders. "I... I FOUND HER!" His expression immediately changed, his face glowed, smiling widely he went outside and returned with Natalie. "The looks on your faces!" Natalie laughed. "Priceless!" Harry said curling over in laughter. "Oh shut up!" Louis pouted. "We were worried sick!" Liam stated, truthfully. Natalie leaned on Harry for support as they both laughed hysterically. I rolled my eyes and looked to Niall, who was asleep, his mouth hung open. I smiled to myself. I looked back to Harry and Natalie who looked like they were having a great time. Which was kind of bizarre considering they practically hated each other. I just shrugged, they're probably tired.

*LIAM'S POV*

   Natalie and Harry... getting along? How eccentric. They hate each other.. so I thought. Now they're just looking at each other the way Danielle and I did when we first fell in love. But that's preposterous. But seeing them get on well is a change, a good one. I felt a smile spread across my face, Harry has the look. The look he gives every girl he wants. Except this look is different. It wasn't lust and avidity, it was something more. I just couldn't put my finger on it. My thoughts were interrupted by Harry's amused voice, "Like what you see Liam?" He had his signature smirk written across his face, along with Natalie, just giggling. I shook my head quickly and frowned, "What? No! I was just..." I searched for the right word, "Observing." Harry shrugged and grabbed Natalie's hand, "I want to show you something." He said a grin took over his dimply face. With that they disappeared into Harry's room.

  "You see it to mate?" Louis said propping his arm on my shoulder. "See what?" "The way he looks at her." He smiled staring at Harry's door. "I think we all do." Zayn joined in the conversation. I nodded my head then laughed a little, "Except Nialler." Niall was snoring a little and dribble coming from his pink lips. We all snickered. "I wonder what Harry wanted to 'show' her." Zayn smirked. I stroked my chin, "I don't know..." "I bet I do. He's determined to get this girl." Louis said. Then it hit me, his room! He wanted to show her his walls and things. He's really proud of his postered walls. Harry's bedroom walls had posters of bands from the 60's. He wanted to show her, he was an interesting lad. Why didn't I think of it before?

*HARRY'S POV*

   I walked into my poster covered bedroom. I always bring girls I fancy in here, not that I fancy Natalie or anything, but she's just a friend. Anyways, I bring girls in here because it always impresses them, they think I'm interesting or whatever. Natalie looked around my large room in awe. "Every inch..." She trailed off, "Covered in posters." I finished for her sticking my hands in my pockets. "Wow, this is so cool Harry!" She gleamed. "Thanks babe." I smiled at her. Her expression quickly changed, "Don't call me babe." She glared, her blue eyes narrowed. Why was she being so weird about it, the boys and I call every girl babe, or love at least. "It was just some friendly banter Natalie..." "I don't care, my ex called me that." Her ex? I figured she would be over any ex's by now. "Ex?" "Dylan." Her eyes immediately filled with heartache. "Who's he?" She sat down on my bed and sighed, "He broke up with me earlier today..." Then it hit me, that's why she had been crying! I'm so stupid! I've been such a twat to her and she's grieving! I sat next to her and put my head in my hands. Then another thought hit me, Kellie. Except this time the feelings weren't sadness and grief, they were anger. Pure anger and vexation. I stood up and began to pace the room. She left me, Kellie left me. She didn't give me another chance! I could've made it up to her! My blood boiled.

   Then I was urged to do something, before I knew it my fist was jammed in the wall, leaving a gaping hole. Natalie gasped throwing her hand over her mouth. Louis, Niall, Zayn, and Liam came running in. "HARRY!" Natalie screamed. "What was all that about mate?!" Zayn asked shocked. All the other boys had shock and apprehension written on their faces, including Natalie. "I erm... I got angry." "Obviously!" Liam yelled throwing his hands over his head, "Paul is going to have a coronary!" Everyone looked over to Liam, "What?" We all asked at the same time. "Coronary, like cardiac arrest..." The room stayed silent. "A heart attack!" Liam said getting flustered and annoyed. "Ohhhh." We all said understandingly. "Sheesh, you guys aren't very bright..." We all shrugged. "Back to Harry." Louis said getting back to the point. "Why did you get all bitter for?" Louis questioned. Everyone turned to me, I stared at the ground for a while before deciding to spill.

*NATALIE'S POV*

  "I was thinking about Kellie..." A million thoughts shot through my head as soon as Harry spoke those 5 simple words. Kellie? Who's that? Why was he angry over her? "Come on man, get over her!" Niall groaned annoyed. Over her? "We just broke up today! What do you expect?!" Harry exclaimed. Harry was in a break up? Kellie was the reason he's been so choleric lately? What's so great about her anyways? "Is she pretty?" That's when I realized I was thinking out loud at that moment. The room was dead silent for a good thirty seconds before Harry answered, "Beautiful." I felt my cheeks go red, what was wrong with me? "Why does it matter?" Louis asked. Seriously Louis? "It doesn't!" I responded a little to briskly. Everyone just stared. The color flushed to my face again and I hung my head down. Why should it even matter, why would Harry EVER like me?

   Why did I just think that?! So many questions were racing around my head. Did I like Harry? Of course I did, but like LIKE him? No, I can't... I only just met him. But the feeling I had when we touched, it felt weird. That little buzzing my skin gets when he touches me. That small jolt, the butterflies that flutter around my stomach. It's not NORMAL. Do friends feel that way? I shook my thoughts and turned my attention back to reality. "I have to get plaster to fix this wall now." Liam said annoyance laced in his words. "I'll come!" Niall volunteered. Liam and Niall left the flat. "Kellie's in the past now." Louis said gently. "Get over her." Louis said with a harsh sassy tone. With that they left the room. Leaving Harry and I awkwardly.

 *ZAYNS POV*

   "Alright mate, we need a plan." Louis said as soon as we clicked the door to Harry's room shut. "What do you mean?" I asked with a quizzical voice. "I mean, Natalie and Harry." He said a small smirk planted on his lips. "Once again, what do you mean?" "Are you amaurotic?!" Louis said grabbing my shoulders, shaking me a bit. "I thought only Liam used big words..." I frowned. He grabbed my shoulders again repeating the motions, "Are you blind?!" "Ohhh." I said with empathy. "They obviously like each other!" Louis released me walked a couple inches then grabbed my shoulders again, "I mean LIKE like Zaynie boy, LIKE like." He ungripped my shoulders for the third time now and paced the room. "OK... so?" I started, Louis was acting like a mad man. "We're going to be playing match maker Zayn my man. Were going to be..." He rubbed his hand together, his lips curving to a smirk, his blue/grey eyes narrowing, "The LOOOOVVEE Doctors."

  "Have you gone mad?!" I asked Louis after he explained his plans to me. Louis' plan to get Nat and Harry together was evil, elaborate, and VERY intricate. He wanted me to pretend to be in love with Natalie, so Harry will get jealous, which will make him forget about Kellie. So that covers Harry, mean while, Louis will be making Natalie fall for Harry somehow. He didn't tell me about that part. "Mad? Probably. But we have to! How else will Harry get out of this..." He searched for the words, "Kellie kick." I frowned at him. "What if one of them gets hurt?" "They won't!" Louis assured me. He stuck his hand out, "Operation Kellie Kick, you in?" I hesitated but my hand met his. "I'm in."
