Harry's POV

I wake up,to the sound of my alarm blaring through my room,causing me to let out a loud groan.

I swing my legs off the bed,and rub my eyes. I sigh,running my hands through my unruly curls,looking at the wall.

He wasn't home last night.

And I pray to god,he isn't home now.

It's normal,to walk into my house to be faced with bottles of alcohol scattered across the kitchen counter. It's normal to come home,to see my dad passed out on the couch. And the situation I'm in now,has definitely happened before.

I brush those thoughts away,and walk into my bathroom to take a shower.

I'm pretty much ready in about ten minutes, since I don't put much effort into how I dress or look. Just presentable is good enough for me.

I check the clock to see that it's 7:48 AM.

A small smile, spreads cross my face remembering that in five minutes, I'll be seeing Emily.

I can't explain to you,how much of an impact she's had on me,even though we haven't known each other long.

She just makes me feel happiness again,what can I say?

"Remember when we had that conversation about our favorite sitcom?" I question, looking over to Emily,who was walking beside me,kicking the pebbles with her feet.

"Yeah..You mean when you got told off,by a 50 year old librarian?" She giggles.

"Yeah,that one" I chuckle along with her.

"Mhm,what about it ?" She asks,looking up at me.

"I was just wondering..Favorite character from,F.R.I.E.N.D.S?"

"Ooooo that's a hard one," she says,clicking her tongue.

"I guess if I had to choose..it would be Joey," she smiles.

"Great choice, " I nod,agreeing with her.

"What about you?"

"Well,I'd have to say Chandler, " I answer,sticking my nose up in the air.

"Why ,may I ask?" She chuckles,softly.

"I dunno..I just.. I would love to have a discussion about Knock Knock jokes,with Chandler Bing, " I say,trying to look serious, but a small smile appearing on my face.

She laughs,running her hands through her beautiful dark brown hair,that was tied up into a ponytail.

She looked so beautiful. And she looked even prettier when she was laughing.

If that was even possible.

The sound,bringing me joy. I was happy that I could make her laugh. I was glad to be one of the people who could put a smile on her beautiful face.

I'm brought back to reality, when she speaks,

"I'm not gonna lie,that was a good answer" she nods.

I chuckle,as I take my phone out of my pocket, to check the time.

I bite my lip,and hold it over to Emily.

"Could we,BE any later for class?" I joke. She let's put a small gasp,as she grabs my hand playfully,and drags me into the school premises.

School was the same..nothing new there. Just classes,practice...pretty much that.

I was now, sat in Louis basement,with the rest of the boys,just hanging out and sharing a couple of beers.

"So,when do you plan on getting a girl,Niall? When your Thirty,and alone?" Louis jokes,laying across the couch.

"Not this again,Lou" Niall groans,stretching his legs out onto the carpet.

"Come on man,Louis's right! All three of us have girlfriends,Harry has Emily, who he hasn't stopped talking about lately, and your the - " Liam starts,but I cut him off,sitting up straight,against the foot of the couch.

"Woah,hold on...Emily is just a friend." I state,holding my hands up in the air.

"Yeah,right" Niall scoffs,causing me to glare at him.

"Come on Styles,we've heard the way you talk about her...your smitten," Zayn smirks.

"I am not!" I retort back,putting my arms around my knees.

"Just admit it Harry...you totally like her" Louis sings,still sprawled across the grey couch.

"Gosh,you guys never quit,do you?" I groan playfully, looking up at the ceiling.

"Shut up,you love us" Niall laughs,throwing an empty can at me,as I chuckle.

"So he wasn't home,this morning?" Zayn asks,as we both walk down Louis driveway.

"No.." I sigh. "But it's nothing new,really"

Zayn was always the one ,who knew about the current situation. He lives close by,so most of the evenings ,he's the one to drop me off at home. But today,I thought I'd just walk since it wasn't really that far.

But honestly, I don't know what I'd do if it weren't for these guys.

"Haz.." Zayn starts,placing his hand on my shoulder.
"You know that you can always stay at my place If you need to right? My mum loves you,so she definitely doesn't have a problem with you staying a while,"

I smile gratefully, and look his way.

"Thanks,Z..but I really don't wanna trouble your family...and I promise..I'm okay."

He looks at me,and sighs,before nodding.

"Okay...but if you ever need anything.." he begins.

"I know..And thank you," I say,pulling him in for a hug.

"Alright..I'll see you tomorrow, yeah?" He says,patting my back.

"Course," I nod.

With that,Zayn is off..

And I'm left alone,as I begin my walk home,through the,dark cold streets.
