“You’re beautiful!” she said, pushing me down the stairs. “Whoa, you look gorgeous” Harry said, hugging me from behind. “Thanks, babe. Now can you tell me where we are going?” “No can do” he answered. I crossed my arms and headed for the door. “Bye, Gemma! Bye guys!” I said, waving to them and dragging Harry behind me.

We got in the car and drove off. It was really dark and hard to see anything. The car finally stopped and Harry opened the door for me. We walked up to the double doors and Harry out his hand over my eyes. I giggled. He opened the door and led me inside, still covering my eyes. He flipped the light on and uncovered my eyes. We were at a dance studio. “Harry, what are we doing here!?” I asked, very confused. “The surprise hasn’t come yet!” he said.

Just then, my best friend from my old dance school popped around the corner. “LAUREN! What are you doing here!?” I yelled, running over to her and hugging her. She was my best friend form dance, and the first one I ever told about being abused. She let me stay with her when I ran away the first time. But Jim didn’t know I had any friends, so he never knew I was there.

“Oh well, I got a call from Mr. Styles here, and he told me about you being here! I couldn’t resist coming to see you!” she said. We talked about our lives and I found out that she lives in London now.

“Okay, what I want to see is you two dance” Harry said, pushing us out on the dance floor and jumping into the music booth. He started my favorite song, and Lauren and I danced like crazy. It wasn’t anything with just simple dance moves though, it was a whole set of our favorite moves as kids. Sure my ribs hurt, but I didn’t care. She stopped and pulled out a CD with our dances from school on them. I threw it to Harry and he popped it in. We stood in front of the mirror and started our favorite hip hop remix dance. Harry looked stunned while I was dancing. I felt so wild and free, I hadn’t let go or felt this good in 6 years. It had to be the best night of my life.

I walked over to Harry. “Surprised?” I asked. “Uh, uh, yeah a little bit” he said, trying not to smile to wildly. “I told you I was the best dancer” I said, putting my arms around his shoulders.

I turned around to Lauren. “I’m so happy for you!” I said, hugging her. “My wittle Lawen’s gwowing up!” I said, pretending to cry. I was talking about her moving to London. “You’re the one that’s dating the international pop star!” she said, pushing me over to him laughing.

“My I have this dance?” Harry asked, holding his hand out to me. “I’d be honored” I said, and then he ran over to the music booth and turned on a slow song. We walked out onto the floor, and I wrapped my arms around his shoulders, as he put his on my hips.  Lauren went to change clothes and she said she’d be back.

We danced for a good while, and then the music stopped. We kissed, and then sat down on the bench. “Thanks, Harry. This is the best.” I said, laying my head on his shoulder. “Can I invite Lauren over for the night?” I asked him. “Yeah, anything you want babe” he said, kissing the top of my head.

Lauren then came around the corner and I asked her if she wanted to stay over. “Oh my gosh yes! I’d love to!” she said. Harry grabbed my hand and we walked outside, hand in hand, and Lauren followed us. We got in the car, and when we pulled up in the driveway at Harry’s, I said, “I forgot to add, the rest of the boys are here so don’t freak out when you see Niall” to Lauren. She was a HUGE Niall fan.

“WHAT!?” she yelled. “Uhm, yeah. I’ll introduce you, don’t worry!” I told her, laughing at her facial expression. We got out and walked inside. All of the guys, and Gemma were sitting on the couch and floor. “Guys, there’s somebody I want you to meet” I said, and pulled Lauren in front of me. I was watching Niall, and his face lit up. “Liam, Zayn, Niall, Louis, Gemma, this is Lauren” I said, pointing to all of them. Niall held his hand out for her to shake. “I-I’m Niall” he stuttered. I was trying not to laugh. “OoOo!” Louis said, and they both blushed.

We sat down in the living room floor and talked. “So, Lauren. Where are you from?” Louis asked. “Same place as Nicole, we grew up together, dancing.” She said. I was lying across Harry’s lap, trying to keep the pressure off of my ribs. He was stroking my hair.

“Gemma, wanna go upstairs and come back down later?” I asked, gesturing to Lauren and Gemma. “Yeah!” she said. Lauren, Gemma, and I got up and went upstairs to Gemma’s room.

“Hey, what do you say we call Eleanor and Danielle and we can have a girl’s night with their boyfriends? Or in Lauren’s case, soon to be boyfriend!” Gemma asked. “Yeah! Sounds fun!” I answered. “I’ll go tell the guys, you call them!” I directed.

“Liam! Louis! We’re calling your girlfriend’s to see if they want to come over!” I yelled down the stairs. They jumped up and down saying, “OMG YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!” like girls. Wow.

I walked back into Gemma’s room and she said that Danielle was coming and she was about to call Eleanor. I couldn’t wait. “Gemma, what about your boyfriend?” I asked. “I’m going to stay single for tonight, and help Lauren survive!” she said. Gemma called and invited Eleanor over, and she was coming.

About 20 mins later, the doorbell rang and Danielle and Eleanor were here. We all three raced down the stairs and opened the door. “Danielle, Eleanor, meet Nicole, Harry’s girlfriend, and Lauren” Gemma said, introducing us. “Nice to meet you!” we all four said in unison. Then we laughed. Liam and Louis ran over and hugged them. “My princess has come!” Louis said, picking her up bridal style. “Lou, PUT ME DOWN!” Eleanor yelled.

We all went over to the living room floor, and I sat next to Harry, with his arm around me. Lou and Eleanor and Danielle and Liam all sat like couples. Zayn and Niall decided to imitate us all and Niall put his head on Zayn’s shoulder and Zayn put his arm around him. “What a cute bromance” Lauren said. We all laughed, and sat there and talked for the rest of the night.
