  I stared down at the promising brochure with the colorful pictures and the happy students. It seemed to reassure my decision; made me feel like I was doing what was right. For some reason though, I didn't feel like it was right. Was going to the University of London really for me? Afterall, I did have a scholarship and I am majoring in the arts-the things that I love the most in this f****** up world. The only things that keep me going in life await at that college. I had to go.

  My thoughts were interuppted by a slight thumping coming from my window. I looked to my right and saw a little pebble hit my window leaving a slight scuff mark. I shrugged if off thinking it was coming from the upcoming storm that was about to hit until the pebble greeted me once more. I threw the brochure down on my desk and started cursing to myself while I made my way to the window. I threw up the pane and looked around.

  "Down here!" I looked down and saw Harry waving to me with a goofy grin on his face. "You're leaving marks on my window, you bastard!"I laughed. "Ooo so now I have a friend that curses, eh?"Harry chuckled. "Harry, you aren't supposed to be here!"I said tucking a piece of hair behind my ear. "I know, but I had such a good time making out with you last night,"Harry smirked. I glared at him as his dimples began to make their way on his face.

  "My dad is going to catch you,"I warned. "I'll risk the chances,"he said winking at me. I rolled my eyes and smiled at how much of a dork he was. "Why are you here anyways?"I asked. "Wanted to make sure you were okay,"he said. I smiled and said,"I'm okay now I think. Just took a little while to get back on my feet. You could've just texted me,"I pointed out. "I know, but I wanted an excuse to see you,"he said. "Well, thanks for checking up on me. It means a lot." "No problem."

  Harry remained where he was looking up at me like he expected me to throw down ten feet of hair to climb. "Uh.. I would ask you to come inside but-" "I know, I know. It's just that there's this party I'm throwing tomorrow just for the hell of it.. Would you like to go?" "I don't know Harry.. I have already been to so many-" "C'mon! It'll be fun. Promise. I'll even pick you up if you want,"he said. I sighed and bit my lip contemplating whether I should go or not.

  "Fine, I'll get Aaron to help me again,"I said giving in. "Brilliant. Seven?" "Seven."I replied,"Is this another date, Harry?" "Maybe, maybe not,"he smirked mysteriously as he made his way back to his car. "Be careful, Harry! There's a storm coming soon!"I yelled after him. "So you care about me?"he asked with a seductive smile. "Maybe, maybe not,"I mocked. He laughed and then opened his car door, slid inside, and drove off into the darkness.

  "Ready to go?"Harry asked when I first opened the door. "Yep. Everything is under control thanks to Aaron,"I said closing the door behind me. "He's a good little brother, isn't he?"Harry said. "Yeah, he is. We have our fights and all, but we are really close to each other." Harry nodded and smiled as he held the door open for me. I thanked him and sat in the seat while Harry made his way around the car to the driver's seat. We soon backed out of the driveway and made our way to Harry's.

  Throughout the car ride, Harry chatted on about how excited he was that I was coming to one of his parties considering that they were so crazy. We also talked about who was all going to the party and how it was going to run. We laughed like idiots the whole time and we teased each other as Harry drove down the road. Ever since last night, I felt so close to Harry like something inside both of us had changed. It was weird, but great at the same time.

  When we got there, we made our way into the house and we waited for the herd of people to come. Soon enough they all did and the loud music started to blare through the speakers while the people started to dance and chat with each other. When more and more people came, Harry excused himself and went to go socialize. I sat on the couch waiting for someone I knew when suddenly a tuff of purple hair that I recognized walked towards me.

  "Hey Niall,"I greeted him. "Hey Flo! I didn't know you would be coming!"he replied. "Harry asked me to come last minute,"I smiled. "Harry did?"he asked as he sat down next to me. "Yeah? Why?" "I don't know, he just usually doesn't ask people. People just find out and come."Niall explained,"Plus, he usually doesn't ramble about girls on the phone." I lifted an eyebrow and Niall smiled down at me. 

  "Harry was talking about you a couple of nights ago. He said that you were a good kisser,"Niall winked. I blushed and smiled at the thought that Harry actually said that. Not to mention that he even talked about me. "He did?"I asked. Niall nodded and laughed. "Yep, he said that you even stood up to this girl at the restaurant he took you to,"Niall said approvingly. "Ugh, don't get me started,"I rolled my eyes.

  "Hey Florence!"Perrie said walking up to me with Eleanor and another girl I didn't know. "Hey how are you guys?"I asked as I hugged each one of them. "We're great, but are you okay? You know, with the wreck and all?"Eleanor said. "I'm fine now. Thanks,"I smiled. "No problem. This is Sophia by the way,"Perrie said introducing the girl. "Hey, it's nice to meet you,"I smiled as I shook her hand. 

  Sophia looked like the exact opposite of Perrie and Eleanor. She had long, brown hair that cascaded down her back and a lovely smile that I coveted when I first saw it. She wore a nice blouse and some acid washed jeans with some light makeup on. She was the definition of perfection. I just didn't understand how a person like Sophia was with a guy like Liam. To be honest though, I thought it was pretty cute that they were an item.

  "Hey, I'm going to go and flirt with some girls. I'll be right back,"Niall whispered in my ear. I laughed and said,"Good luck." "I'm going to need it,"he chuckled as he walked off. "So I heard that you and Harry are seeing each other?"Sophia smirked as she sat down next to me. The other girls did the same and they all looked at me expecting me to spill all of my secrets. "Yeah, but I think we're just friends,"I smiled. "Oh come on! We all know that Harry is crushing on you,"Eleanor said. "No he isn't. Believe me." "Then how come he hasn't been seeing any other girls besides you?" Eleanor questioned.

  I sat there stunned. I didn't know that Harry wasn't seeing anybody else. I expected him to being the way he was. Then again, we've been seeing each other almost daily so he probably hasn't had the time to. However, I do disagree with Eleanor's statement on how Harry was so called 'crushing' on me. I mean, he hasn't even looked a girl in the eye without wanting something from her in so long. Ever since Valerie, he has been a wreck. He couldn't love me. He couldn't even have the slightest interest in me.

  "I don't know,"I said truthfully. "Then what are you guys if you don't think he's crushing on ya?"Perrie asked. "Friends with benefits. Duh,"Sophia smiled. "I don't like to call it that.."I drifted off,"More like acquaintances." "Says the girl who stuck her tongue down Harry's throat,"Eleanor giggled. I was about to say something, but then I realized that I couldn't really argue with that. Once the girls saw my reaction, they started to burst out into a fit of giggles.

  "Where's Zayn, Louis, and Liam?" I asked trying to change the topic. "Oh, Liam's downstairs with them I believe,"Sophia said. "What are they doing?" I asked. They all looked at each other and they shrugged. "Who knows? They could be doing anything right now,"she said. Then all of their eyes widened. "We should go check on them,"Eleanor said quickly getting up. "We'll catch up with you later, yeah?" Perrie said. I nodded and they all waved their goodbye's before they ran down the stairs.

  I stood up and stuck my hands in my pockets as I made my way to the kitchen to pour a drink. When I got there, people crowded around the counter top and I had to bump into several people to get to the drinks. Once I got to the bowls and jugs of liquid, I quickly poured some punch into my red cup and found a wall to lean up against. As I sipped my drink, I watched the drunkards dance,(which was actually very entertaining). The loud music filled my eardrums making them want to bleed as I stood there awkwardly not knowing what to do.

  Once I stood there long enough, I decided that I needed to do something with myself instead of standing there doing nothing; especially considering that I was alone. I walked down the stairs hoping to meet up with Liam, Louis, and Zayn, but I couldn't find them amid the sea of people. As I walked dodging people, I saw two people making out in the corner. I crinkled my nose in disguist until I saw who it was. Harry was pressed against the wall with a blonde haired girl all over him. The worst part was that it looked like he was enjoying it.
