The next morning, I wake up with a big headache. I rub my eyes, trying to see if Hanna is still sleeping but her bed is empty. I get up and my head starts to spin so I immediately sit down again. The hangover is horrible, I wonder how many drinks I had last night. The party was such a disaster. I can't believe I slapped Harry and behaved like that. I was such a bitch.
I go downstairs to the kitchen, feeling very nervous. It's going to be awkward to see him. I hope he's not still mad at me.

"Hiiii" I say in a sleepy voice as I enter the kitchen to see that they're all having breakfast.
I catch Harry's eyes and he immediately looks away. He doesn't say anything and I bite my lips nervously, not knowing what to say. No one is talking, they're all staring at us, confused. The atmosphere is so embarrassing.

"I'm going to take a shower" Harry suddenly says, standing up and putting his plate in the dishwasher. He leaves the kitchen keeping his gaze down to avoid eye contact with the me. I sigh and take a seat around the table.

"What the fuck was that ?" Louis frowns

"We had a fight last night... And I slapped him" I confess trying not to look at them. I feel so ashamed.

"You what ??" Hanna exclaims 

"Oh my god ! Charlotte !"

They're all staring at me, their mouths hung open. Even Niall, for once, is not sniggering. I take a deep breath and explain the situation.

"I spent all of the party with James. He made me drink a lot and I was completely wasted... And he was hitting on me so I may have acted a little bit like...Anyway he was wasted as well so he kinda insulted me and I slapped him. It's my fault, he had all the reasons in the world to be mad at me. I just should have never slapped him. And then James tried to kiss me and he saw us. I was trying to push him away but he didn't help me though, he was just standing there, watching me struggle."

There's a large silence in the room. I raise my head to look at their reaction but they don't show any expression.

"Wow..." Zayn finally breaks the silence

"You should go talk to him" Liam suggests biting his toast.

"Yes I will go now" I stand up and Hanna wishes me good luck before I leave the kitchen.

"Harry ?" I knock at the door. "Can I come in ?" He doesn't answer so I knock again with a sigh "I know you're in there. Open to me please, we need to talk"
Finally he opens the door, a towel wrapped around his waist.

"Sorry I was in the shower"

I move into the room and stand next to his bed, my arms crossed, not sure if what to say. He opens his wardrobe and grabs some clothes before returning to the bathroom.

"So ? You said you wanted to talk..." He says harshly from the other room.

"Yes hmm... I wanted to apologise for last night. I acted like a total bitch I know it and I should have never slapped you. James made me drink a lot, he was flirting with me. I regret so much Harry"

I play nervously with my bracelet, waiting for his answer. When I look up, he's standing in front of me, wearing some black skinny jeans and a yellow flowery shirt.

"I'm also sorry for insulting you"

"No it's ok, I deserved it" I admit looking for his eyes.

"It's not all your fault. He used you "

"Yeah... So... are we good ?" I hesitate

"Yes my baby girl" he says with a comforting smile

"Kiss me ?"

He answers by leaning towards me and kisses me so hard that he pushes me against the mattress. I want to wrap my arms around his back but he immobilises my wrists against the bed, above my head. I whine and he smirks, kissing me even more.

"Move you're heavy and we have a plane to take" I giggle. He stands up dropping a little kiss on my forehead and holds his hand out to me to help me get up.

"Have you packed yet ?" he asks

"Of course, the plane is in three hours !"

"Oh well I should probably pack then" he grins

"Okay ! I'm going to finish my breakfast, I'll see you later" I smile back before leaving his room.

"So, how did it go ? Have you made up ?" Hanna asks me when I come back to the kitchen.

"Yes sweetie, we're fine"

"Where is he now ?"

"Packing, he's not ready yet" I sigh

"Neither am I" Zayn chuckles tidying away his breakfast.

"Same, and my room is such a mess" Niall adds

"Lads, we have a plane to catch !" Louis whines

"Don't worry, we'll be ready on time I promise"

"Go then, I'll do the dishes" I offer

"Thanks Chaaaarrr" Niall grins before leaving the kitchen. He's so adorable.

"So, Charlotte, what are you gonna do now ?" Liam asks.

"Well I still have one week of holidays so I may come with you for the European leg of the tour"

"Oh yes that would be great ! Plus, you've never come with us on tour before"

"Yeah and it would be fun" I grin and he smiles back at me.

"What about you Han' ? " Louis asks my best friend who's now half asleep on the table.

"Hmm well I have to go back to my internship" she sighs, sitting up. Louis pouts but doesn't say anything.

"What's wrong ?" She frowns.

"Nothing, I'll just miss you" he looks down embarrassed. I glance at Zayn and Liam to make them understand that we should leave them alone.

"Where are you going ?" Hanna demands when we get up from the table

"Getting dressed" Zayn answers with a smirk. Liam gives a quick look at Louis who seems to understand what's going on and rolls his eyes.

Once we had left the kitchen, Zayn whispers:
"These two have to date, they've been hanging around with each other since the beginning"

"Well, Hanna really likes him. She tells me a lot about him" I say louder than I should

"So does Louis !" Liam adds and I smile at the idea of two of my best friends dating. They'd look cute together, I know for sure.
Then, we all go to our rooms to get ready to go back to England.
