Tough Love

Chapter 19

Harry: leaving La today never felt so good. To be home with my family is a gift. My mum knew about the Lauren situation and she told me that she was going to come around. Summer had started and she was expecting her to come home with me from LA but it was never really confirmed. Obviously, though, that was the least of what I was thinking about. I was going to be home for about a month and half, and I figured if I didn’t see or hear from Lauren this whole time here it was done, and I would leave it at that. I wasn’t completely off this trip home though; we had the new album to record, which added stress, and some party’s to attend. Which, I had one tonight, with Niall. His buddy Sean and I got real close so we all started to hang out together and it was his birthday so he was throwing a party. I figured tonight would be a great time to get wasted and forget about all my worries.

When Niall and I arrived to Sean’s the party as already in full blast and there were around 100 people here. It was like a club at his house, and I could smell the alcohol in the air, I craved it right now. Rushing over to the table I downed my first drink then grabbed one for Niall. We meet up with Sean who was a bit tipsy “Hey Lads! Glad you are here!” We all headed to the dance floor with a drink in our hands and partied up. I danced until I couldn’t feel my feet, and the alcohol helped with that. I was wasted; I could feel it and I loved it. However, I couldn’t stop thinking about Lauren. “Fuck that bitch.” I slurred the whole night to random strangers. That thought wasn’t present though when one of Sean’s friends came over to me, I meet her once I think. Sarah? Or Susan her name was? I couldn’t remember shit right now, and she looked a little drunk too. “Hey babe.” She whispered in my ear and she grinded up against me to the music. I felt kind of uncomfortable with this so I stopped dancing. “Hello….uh…?” I spoke. “Sam, my names Sam silly.” She slurred her words and pressed up against my chest playing with the buttons on my shirt, getting lower and lower. I stepped back a bit and she took notice. “What’s wrong love? Im just trying to have a little fun.” She asked. “I…erm…have someone, my girlfriend.” I lied. “Well I don’t see her around here, do you?” she giggled and looked around then batted her eyes. It wasn’t that she wasn’t attractive, she was, but Lauren was right there in my head, and I loved her. Even though we might not be with each other right at this moment I felt like that would be cheating. That’s something you can’t take back, so I decided to end things right here. “Sam, im sorry, you’re a lovely girl, but I love my girlfriend and ev-.” I was cut off by a thud at the back of the head. I fell forward and I heard a few people gasp, including Sam. The whole room was spinning when I turned around and got up on my feet to see a guy who I didn’t know. Why did he just hit me? What could I have done to him? “You talking to her? Why you talking to my girlfriend?” he spoke, and I smelled that alcohol coming from him. “Rodger! What the hell do you think you’re doing?! It’s not even like that ok, he has a girlfr-.” She was cut off by Rodger pushing her to the floor. I was absolutely disgusted at this, and I saw that there was a crowd around us, but no one was doing anything. I stepped up at swung my fist right at his jaw. He drunkenly stumbled and furiously looked at me, and I knew it was on. He was bigger than be but, even if this girl was coming on to me no one hits a girl. I felt a blow to my stomach and I crouched a bit then hitting him in the side repeatly. I striated up after catching my breath and started hitting his head and he started hitting me in the chest. “BREAK IT UP, COME ON LETS GO. IT’S NOT WORTH IT.” I heard Sean yell then him and Niall step in between us. I was ragged and I still wanted to beat the shit out of this guy, but I had a reputation to uphold. Fans couldn’t know about this and it would completely ruin our image. To think about all the rumors that would come of this fight and me fighting for this girl that I barely knew. It would sound awful, epically to Lauren. Shit, Lauren. My thoughts were now sober and I was regretting the whole night.

Lauren: “Someone’s calling you, pick up your phone! Unless you don’t like them, which is mean and I would never do. Unless there smelly-.” I woke up to my phone ringing at 1:00am, to Harry’s ringtone; I really needed to change that. “Hello.” I droned. It was rose, and she was talking way too fast for me being up for only 10 seconds. “Rose, slow down! He did what?! When?!” Niall texted Rose telling her telling her about the fight between Harry and some guy. Then the other half of the conversation was Rose freaking because Niall texted her. “Why?” I asked confused. She told me the whole story and I was kind of shocked. She also told me that the main reasons why he texted her was so that I didn’t hear rumors and start to hate harry or something. He’s so stupid, I thought. “Alright Rose, well keep texting him!” I laughed trying to get things started between them; I knew that she liked him.  I hung up the phone and thought about the whole situation. Probably drunk, I thought again, then drifted back to sleep.
