"It's been ages since we've all got together." Liam smiled, sipping his hot chocolate.

Mina nodded, plopping a marshmellow in her mouth. "It's just like old times."

It's not the same, though, I wanted to say. Harry and I haven't spoken a word ever since we met. I thought, that from the hugs and affection, we could get along and at least be friends? My heart ached everytime I passed him in their apartment somewhere, he'd not speak a word and just think i'm non-existant.

I also had to call Mina and Coralie to tell them the big news, of how I found my 4 best friends and the boy I used to love the most. They freaked out over the phone and probably almost had a heart attack. So they came up to the strange room I had met them in and Liam decided their apartment was so much better. So here we are, watching TV and drinking hot chocolate, eating marshmellows, m&m's and kit-kat bars. Yes, it was like old times besides the fact Harry, is ignoring me.

I glanced over at Harry, who's eyes were fixed to the TV screen even though the TV wasn't on. It was quite rainy, so we decided to shut off the electronics and have a chat. 

"I remember that this is when Skye fell over the bean bag and had her head stuck in the avocado bowl." Zayn laughed, wiping a fake tear. "You seriously looked like a monster, Skye."

I furrowed my eyebrows, trying to think of this moment. Ah! "Oh god." I muttured, a little red blush popping on my cheeks. "That was so embarrassing."

***

"Okay, i'm coming!" I grinned, moving my hands about. The blackness of the blindfold was so bloody annoying, so the only thing I could use was the scent of Zayn.

I took a big whiff, stepping around. I could feel something under my leg, like a wire but I ignored it and continued walking around the house. The smell of his jacket is what I used. It smelt like heaven and I was surely going to find him easily.

"Wait, Skye, don't take another step!" I could hear Mina's shrieky, worried voice.

But, too late.

I was already taking a gigantic step towards the scent and tripped over this very soft, object and could feel my face being in contact with some really, foul smelling sticky stuff.

"What the heck is this?!" I shrieked, quickly ripping my blindfold off. The only noise I could hear now was everyone's laughter and cheers. "Oh hell no!" Running to the bathroom, I almost puked when I saw the reflection the mirror had decided to give me.

Avocado was all over my face.

"You still look beautiful!" Harry grinned cheekily, appearing at the bathroom door. He wiped some avocodo off my lips with his finger. 

I smirked, rolling my blue eyes. "So you're calling that beautiful?" I pointed to the mirror. 

"Mhm." He laughed, placing a kiss on my lips. "Love you, monster."

I pouted, a little giggle escaping my lips. "I'm going to kill Zayn for putting that bowl there."

***

"Oh how I missed that game!" Coralie whined. "That was the funnest thing in the entire world. Oh my god!"

Mina nodded in agreement. "We have to play it again!"

"Well, we do have the right amount of people and there is avocados in the fridge." Niall shrugged. "Should we, Liam?"

Liam thought for a sec, squinting his eyes. "Yeah, it'll bring back old times."

Sprinting towards the fridge, Niall grabbed 2 avocados and a bowl. "I'll do the mashing up."

"I'll put the beanbags!" Zayn grinned, running upstairs. I laughed, knowing he only wanted to do this so I could get my head stuck in the bowl again.

Standing up, Liam sipped the last of his hot chocolate and placed it on the coffee table. "Right, i'll get the sleeping mask."

Harry, was just watching us without saying a word. I bit my lower lip, wondering if I should at least say something. Mina followed Zayn, leaving Coralie to help with the avocados.

Yes, I was alone. It was time to say something. I plopped down besides him, chewing my lower lip. "Harry." I mumbled, fiddling with my fingers.

"What?" He furrowed his eyebrows.

I took a deep breath, staring at the floor. "W-why are you so quiet? Is somethin-g wrong?"

"It's none of your business." He muttured harshly. 

A pain in my heart released, making me take a shaky breath. Why was he so angry? What did I do wrong? Am I the reason for his anger? Questions filled my mind, but none of them had answers.

"Please?" 

"Just leave me alone!" He yelled harshly, standing up. Tears pricked my eyes as he looked away, massaging his temples as he went to the kitchen.

The pain in my heart was worse and I couldn't help but let a few tears roll down my cheeks. I sniffled, wiping them away.

He was just so unbearable. What did I ever to do him? I thought maybe we could have a new beginning and be friends, not enemies! If I knew what upset him, I would've tried the best just to make a smile on his face. I've only seen a smile on his face ONCE the whole day. If i'm the reason for his anger, i'd leave him alone! But why am I the reason? I understand, maybe it's something to do with my personality or something, but why does he care? Is he annoyed by me? I sighed, resting my head against the sofa.

Niall and Coralie laughed as they walked towards the coffee table with two bowls. Their laughter died down to a chuckle, wiping fake tears from their eyes. "Oh my god, that's so funny!" Coralie laughed, clutching onto her stomach.

"Yep." Niall chuckled. "Oh, hey Skye." He smiled. His smile faded and his eyebrows were furrowed. "What happened?"

"Nothing." I sobbed.

"Really now?" Coralie sighed, sitting besides me. "What happened?" She whispered.

"Nothing." I repeated, standing up. "Let's just play, yeah?"

***

Everyone was laughing hard, almost at the edge of tears. Zayn was already crying of laughter and I was just straight out pissed.

I stuck my head out of the avocado bowl and smirked, giving an evil glare to Zayn. "I'm seriously going to kill you!"

"This is so deja vu!" Mina laughed, clapping her hands like a retarded seal. "She always falls into the bowl!"

I rolled my blue eyes, stomping towards Liam's bathroom. I stared at my reflection in the mirror and chuckled. It was just like old times. Well, at least i'll be able to have a nice facial with the avocado. There is benefits to this game, too. 

Harry then passed the bathroom, a smile tugging at his lips. "You look.."

I bit my lower lip, my heart hammering against my chest.

"Absolutely hideous." 

With that, he smirked and walked past the bathroom.

My jaw dropped.
