Harry's POV

"You two took your time." Perrie rolled her eyes.

"We've been gone 5 minutes!" Zayn contradicted, quickly wiping any tear residue away, although before coming back onto the campsite we gave each other a quick once-over to make sure we didn't look like we'd been crying.

"5 minutes too long. It's chaos here." She gestured to the quietness surrounding us the only disturbance being the gently swaying of the trees dancing with the evening breeze.

Zayn scoffed. "Yeah, it looks absolutely manic."

"Not here. Round the corner where all the tent action is. As if putting up a few tents and getting some wood together can't be done without some kind of conflict."

"Not when Kendall's around."
She chuckled. "Better go check no-one's died of lipstick poisoning yet."

We turned the corner, walking down a small path until we'd reached what appeared to be our new campsite for the evening. The tents were already pitched up, and as I studied further I thanked whatever deity for sharing another tent with Zayn, Perrie and Louis, with no sign of Kendall or Kylie.

There was sign of Kendall, of course- as if she wasn't noticeable enough already, but she'd moodily assumed the position on one of the logs after being placed in a tent more than 2 centimetres away from wherever Louis was.

I glanced around the campsite in search for Louis, before my eyes settled on a brown-haired figure moving inside our tent, fiddling with what looked like a pillowcase. I grinned softly to myself, before approaching the tent and gently nudging the door flap open.

"Hey." I gave him a small smile, realizing he'd brought all my stuff in with him. "Oh, thanks."

He glanced up, returning the smile. "No problem."

I knelt up beside him, unravelling my sleeping bag. "Sky looks clear tonight."

"Really?" Louis' eyes lit up, as he glanced outside. "It's warm, too. From where we are, we'll probably have a really nice view of the sunset."

"I hope so." I sighed. "I'm guessing they're building a campfire out there?" I craned my neck, peeping outside.

Louis chuckled. "Well. Trying to. I don't know how far they've got."

"Hopefully they won't destroy the whole forest." I smirked at the idea of Zayn trying to chop down a tree, and judging by Louis' expression it seemed as if he was thinking something similar.

"So... you're definitely doing the guitar stuff tonight, yeah?" He glanced up at me, the twinkle in his eyes making my heart pound.

"I guess so, seeing as I'm being so peer pressured into it." I scoffed sarcastically, earning a roll of his eyes.

"Any song choices yet?" Louis asked.

"Well..." I racked my brains. Admittedly, The Workday Release were a pretty suitable band choice for the evening atmosphere. But I was still undecided on what song. "I don't know about the song yet. But I'm gonna do something from The Workday Release."

Louis nodded slowly, although he hesitated. "I don't think I've ever heard of them."

I responded with an outraged look. "What?!"

He shrugged. "I don't know. They've come up in conversation with Sophie a few times." He paused. "Although anything could come up in conversation with her. But I've never heard any of their music."

"Well, there's a first time for everything." I gave him a half smile, noticing he'd brought my guitar and songbook/diary thing in the tent for me, although as I began to focus on it, I'd realized the book was opened slightly.
