A/N: Winter Break, everyone!! :) I hope you all enjoy this chapter and PLEASE review! Also, if you have an idea for the cover, message me! Thanks <3

"HOLY SH-" I covered my phone as Maddie proceded to go into a rampage. Apparently she wasn't expecting to have a sleepover with Harry Styles.

Liam raised his eyebrows. "Is everything alright?"

I laughed. "Yeah, my friend is just really worried about me so I'm letting her calm down a bit."

He smiled. "Sounds like a good friend."

If only he knew. "Yeah, she's probably one of the best people I know." I then screamed into the phone, "Maddie's always there for me."

Liam's face was puzzled and I just continued to smile.

"Anyways," I said to Maddie in a calm voice. "I need to stay at Harry's house tonight and I would like it if you came too. You know, if you want to."

"WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT? Of course! Only an idiot would say no! Is this some kind of prank because I didn't pick you up?"

I groaned. "No, Maddie. Harry accidentally tackled me to the ground and got me hospitalized. Now I need to stay with him since he's my emergency contact. I came to England to visit you, which they didn't know, and I would feel a lot more comfortable if you stayed with me. You have his address, right?"

"Kristina, I would be a disgrace if I didn't have his address. I'm already packing my bags and heading over." She hung up the phone and I could imagine the swirling mess of Maddie's bedroom as she tried to gather her nicest clothing to meet her idol.

"She's coming," I said to Harry. He was driving and nodded at me. This still seemed so unreal, and I suddenly felt dizzy.

I grabbed my head and my eyes fluttered. "Liam, where's the..." I tried to look through my purse.

Liam quickly understood and tried to help me find the advil.

"Here it is," he said in victory just as I threw up.

Harry slammed on the breaks and screamed. "Quick, grab some napkins!" He yelled at us as he opened up the glove box.

"Oh my gosh. I am so sorry, Harry. I just got really dizzy and...at least it's in the purse." I grimaced and then looked down.

How stupid! I know it's the concussion's fault, but it was still very embarrassing.

"Maybe this is why the hospital wouldn't let me go home by myself," I joked. At this, Harry cracked a smile and ignored the fact that I just puked inside of his sportscar.

"It's fine. I can buy you a new purse once we get you situated. Sorry for hitting you," he said with a guilty smile.

Liam butted in. "Maybe we should get to your house first because I'm starting to smell whatever Kristina ate last."

"Liam!" I slapped him and he rubbed his arm.

"Ow..." Liam pouted and then gave me the advil. "Take your medicine."

I did as he said and then closed my eyes. "Please tell me that we're almost there," I said once Harry started to drive again.

He sighed. "Yeah, we're on my street now. And the freaking fangirls are waiting outside. Liam, cover Kristina up so they don't see her."

"Hey, what's wrong with them seeing me? Just say I'm an old friend."

"A sick friend that I take to my house?"

I gave him a long, hard look. "You're not covering me up. Just drive into your garage and I'll put up my hood."

"Fine." I pulled up my hood and gritted my teeth as Harry's car went over a slight bump on the driveway. Dozens of screaming girls savagely ran up to the car and began banging on the windows. It scared the crap out of me and I flinched every time someone pounded on my window.
