The party is small. Not what Harry was expecting, but it's nice. There's only about twenty people in the large house and Louis and Zayn appear to know them all. Perries also with them - her and Zayn got back together yesterday - and her hands won't stop touching him.

Niall is coming later and Harrys fine with that because he gets alone time with Louis. Secretly, he's hoping him and Louis will go all the way tonight. He wants to finally do it, but Louis seems hesitant and Harrys not sure why.

"I brought beer and everything. Don't take any from anyone," Louis whispers in his ear. He has a protective arm around him and he gives him a loving squeeze when he finishes talking. He's already informed Harry that he's staying with him all night. After the concert and Halloween party incidents he's paranoid.

"Let's go find Jed and then we'll find our own area to hang out," Louis tells him. Harry just shrugs and happily follows after him. He notices how people keep looking over at them and he's trying not to shrink under their gazes. He's stronger than that.

"Lou!" Someone shouts. Harry turns to see a dirty blonde with bright green eyes smiling at them. His smile is big and bright and his hot pink shirt hurts Harrys eyes.

"Jed! How are you?" Louis grins. He lets go of Harry to walk over and hug the other man. Harry just stands awkwardly as they pull away and smile at each other.

"Jed, this is my boyfriend Harry," Louis introduces him. He looks at him with pride and takes his hand. Jed looks at him and keeps his bright smile.

"Hey, Harry. 'M Jed as you heard. You're quite the looker," he replies with a wink. Harry blushes and Louis chuckles, but his hold tightens.

"He is, but you can keep your eyes elsewhere," Louis jokes and Jed just shrugs and looks back at the group of girls he left.

"Don't worry, I have other plans for tonight. Make yourselves at home," he says casually. Louis just nods and starts to walk away as Jed calls back to get the girls attention.

"He seems nice," Harry remarks and Louis nods.

"He is. He just gets around," Louis says and that's that.

They end up sitting in a corner, smoking and drinking. Harry sits next to Louis, their sides touching and Perrie and Zayn are across from them. He watches as Zayn and Perrie each take a pill of ecstasy and both boys decline when offered. Harrys brain screams for him to say yes. It remembers the feeling of utter bliss while on the drug, but he's sworn it off and he won't go down that road.

Instead he smokes until Niall comes and then he starts to drink with the blonde boy. Louis just puffs on a cigarette and rolls more joints. People have come over to talk to them, sharing what they have and it's friendly. Harry feels safe here.

"What have you got there?" A female voice says. Harry looks up to see a pretty girl about their age. She has long, wavy brown hair, pretty hazel eyes and a perfect complexion. She's beautiful and she's smirking at his boyfriend.

"Only the best dope on this side of town," Louis remarks and the girls smirk grows even more.

"I see. Can I join?" She asks and Louis looks at her for a long moment. The rule at this party seems to be that if you want something, you have to give something in return.

"What've you got?" Louis asks.

"A lighter and a pretty face," she replies and it makes Louis burst into laughter. Harry's still just watching her closely.

"Sit down," he tells her and she quickly follows instructions. "What's your name?"

"Eleanor. You?"
