Chapter 2

The next day me and Taylor were sitting in Starbucks, she had her head down and sun glasses to cover her face. "I am wrecked Nat." She said. "I know Tay; I had to walk you home. You were just, crazy." I told her. She took a sip from her coffee and took her sun glasses off. "Thank God for coffee." She said. I rolled my eyes at her. "Natalie, are you aware that you have a bruise on your forehead?" she asked me. I looked confused at her and then she pulled a mirror out from her pocket and shown me. "Oh, yeah. It happened when I was walking home last night." I said. She looked at me waiting for me to carry on. "I was walking up the street by mine then I pulled my phone out and wasn't paying attention to where I was going and walked into a car door." I said. Taylor just burst into laughter. "You're such an idiot!" she said. "What...How...Oh my God, you are a legend." She laughed. I blushed with embarrassment.

"Shut up." I said to her smiling.

"What did the person opening it do?" she asked.

"Aw, it was a cute lad, about 16 or 17, something near that. He was just saying he's sorry and asking if I'm okay and stuff. Then two others came out the car to see what happened. I was okay though. I just told him it was okay and walked home." I told her. She just laughed. When we finished our drinks we went to leave. Just when we were about to open the door and walk out Harry walked in! "Hi Harry!" I said.

"Hey Natalie!" he smiled at me.

"Taylor, this is Harry, who I was telling you about." I introduced him to her. "You mean Harry as in the guy's car you walked into last night?" she said trying to hold her giggles in. I sighed. "Yes, yes it is." I said.

"Still so sorry about that by the way!" he said.

"It's okay, I'm fine." I told him. He looked at my forehead and saw the bruise. "Oh god, did I do that?" He asked.

"You didn't do anything! It was my fault." I smiled at him. Taylor did a 'wit-woo' whistle, I just glared at her. "Well, I'll see you later." He said avoiding the awkwardness. "Bye." I said and we left the coffee shop. "Make it awkward Taylor." I said.

"That's what I'm here for." She said. "C'mon, we're going to miss the train!" she said grabbing my hand and pulling me to the train station. It was a really hot day so we decided to go to the beach. When we arrived we set down our towels and I lay down and relaxed. A few minutes later Taylor decided it would be funny to cover me in sand. My eyes opened and I grabbed a hand full of sand and threw it at her sending it all over her face (not her eyes, thank God!) and she fell back on the floor. "Be careful Taylor." I sat back down and blocked the world out of my mind.

Taylor's POV

I wanted to get Natalie back, I went looking round the beach for some ideas and there I saw Harry and some of his friends. I ran over to them and started telling them my new idea, they agreed to join in. 'Perfect' I thought to myself.

Natalie's POV

Taylor was gone for a while; she must have been up to something. I took out my head phones, stood up and looked around for her. I couldn't see her so I went to sit back down but then I felt cold water hit my face, lots of it. I let out a scream and opened my eyes and I was Taylor, Harry, Liam, Niall and two others laughing at me with empty buckets in their hands. I smirked at them. "Not funny." I said trying to be serious but I couldn't help but laugh. I dried myself off with my towel. "By the way Natalie, this is Zayn and Louis." He said to me.

"Hi." I said. Zayn had black hair and was much tanned and Louis, well – he had dark brown hair that swooped over his forehead with blue eyes and was also tanned. He was gorgeous! He had an amazing smile to match his amazing face plus body. They were all topless, it was delicious eye candy. A few hours went bye and we were all talking, having a laugh, a little drink, getting along very well. They were all lovely to me and Taylor and to each other. You could tell they were close by the way they acted with each other. We all sat there and watched the sun set. Niall, Zayn and Liam all decided to get us some food so it was just me, Louis, Taylor and Harry. "So Natalie, you met Harry by walking into his car door. Drunk much?" he laughed. I blushed and looked behind me. My eyes widened. "Not as much as they are now!" I said directed to Taylor and Harry who were buried into each others mouths. "Defiantly not." He agreed with me. I smiled at him. "You're really pretty you know." He said. "And you must also be drunk." I said to him. "No, I'm not. Do you have a boyfriend?" He asked me.

"I had one, it's over now. We're in the 'awkward silence when ever we're near each other'. You?" I asked him

"Not at the moment." He told me.

"Is that a hint Mr. Tomlinson?" I joked at me. He shook his head. "Unfortunately for you, no." He winked at me. I just smiled back at him.

"Are you cold?" he asked me. Then I realised I'd been shivering.

"Just a bit." I told him. He grabbed his Jack Wills hoodie and wrapped it round my shoulders. I snuggled into it. "Thanks." I said to him.

"No Problem." He smiled at me. I think I liked Louis the best out of our new friends. I think Taylor liked Harry the best. But Louis was kind, funny, gorgeous, smart and fab.

After Niall, Zayn and Liam returned we all ate and then decided it was time to go home. I went to give Louis him jacket back but he told me to keep it until we get home and he'll get it next time he see's me. That put a smile on my face. We all exchanged numbers and went our separate ways. Taylor kept quiet because she knew I would just question her and what happened with her and Harry. When I got home I got a shower and got my pyjamas on and then sat in bed. A few seconds after I got comfy and was ready to sleep my phone beeped. I checked it and it was a text from Louis saying 'Hey, just checking you got home safe :) xx' I text him back saying 'Yeah, it was fine. Taylor was very quiet all the way home :') did you get home okay? Xx'

'Good. Haha, Harry did to. Only I knew what happened though, and I wasn't going to embarrass my best mate :) yeah, it was fine xx'

'Wish Taylor was like you :/ haha, night xx'

'Night Nat xx' Then I put my phone back on charge and fell asleep.
