It's awkward. Harry is sitting in the back with Louis and Matt while Zayn drives and Perrie sits next to him. Louis' sat in the middle and Matt keeps finding ways to touch him that make Harry grit his teeth and clench his fists. Louis is oblivious and already drunk - Harry has a buzz - and is chatting stupidly to Harry about his school.

"Our mascot is a fucking pelican. What is cool about pelicans? I'll tell you what. Nothing. Nothing is cool about pelicans," Louis rambles. Harry just chuckles and watches the boy move his arms to express his words.

"I like our mascot," Matt argues beside him and Louis turns away from Harry to look at him.

"You're an idiot then. It's a terrible animal," Louis tells him and Zayn laughs in the front seat.

"Louis is very passionate about his hate for pelicans," he explains and Louis nods, his attention back on Harry.

"When I was little a pelican stole my sandwich. Yeah, not a seagull, a fucking pelican. God I hate them," he says angrily and Harry just shakes his head, an amused smile on his lips. Louis leans closer and snuggles into his side, making Harry's smile grow.

"What do you hate, Harry?" Louis asks and he looks up at the boy through his lashes.

"Spiders. They scare me," Harry tells him and Louis laughs now wrapping his arms around Harry sideways and placing his face against his chest.

"That's cute. Do you scream like a girl when you see them?" Louis asks and Harry looks away because he does do that.

"You know he does. He probably shrieks for his mom to kill them," Zayn laughs and Perrie giggles from beside him. Harry blushes and Louis just smiles at him.

"I'll kill spiders for you, yeah?" Louis asks and Harry nods, mumbling a fond 'yeah'. Matt rolls his eyes and looks out the window, his jealousy showing once again.

They park on the side of the road and climb out. The concert is at a small venue and apparently it's their friend playing. Harry just follows Louis, their hands clasped together. Louis is twirling and laughing as he walks and Zayn watches him in amusement. He shoves him lightly and Louis lets go of Harry so he can shove him back. They end up chasing each other and pushing each other as the other three laugh.

"They're absolute idiots," Perrie shakes her head her - now pink - hair falling over her face. Harry nods and Matt ignores the statement all together. Perrie pulls small pills out of her pocket and passes on to Matt who swallows it dry and just smiles at her.

"What's that?" Harry asks as Perrie plops one in her mouth too. She swallows it and hands on to Harry who inspects it.

"E. you don't have to take it," Perrie tells him quickly prepared to take the pill back. Harry almost gives it back too, but Matt speaks.

"I don't know how you think you can fit in with Louis. He's always high and you're some preppy asshole," Matt snickers. Perrie smacks him upside the head and takes the pill from Harry's open hand.

"Don't listen to him. I shouldn't have offered," Perrie says and Harry bites his lip. Is he just some preppy asshole?

"You shouldn't have. He doesn't fit in and I can't wait for the day he realizes that," Matt speaks up. His eyes scan over Harry and he has an unreadable expression on his face. "You're too scared to take it. You're just a little pussy."

That sends Harry over the edge and he grabs the pill back and throws it to the back of his throat, swallowing it down. Perrie looks at him in disbelief while Matt just smirks at him. Louis and Zayn come back and Perrie silently hands them pills too. They each take it and Louis loops his arm through Harry's.
