Niall POV
She will be here any minute now, I haven’t seen her since that night, I can’t wait to see her face again, and I’ve missed her so much.
Ella POV
At the end of the night, I could be speaking to my best friend again!
Harry POV
Her arms, which now looked worryingly thin, shook as she pulled on the door handle, she entered Nandos, me and Liam stood behind her, letting her know we were there for her. She tried to display confidence, but she looked a little queasy as she crossed the room to where the others were sitting. Liam and I sat down in two of the seats, regretting the actions immediately. The only seat left was one between Niall and Louis. Raven sat down, and began to talk to Louis, but after realising everyone but her was silent, she turned and said to the table at large “So, what is this then? You drag me out here after all this time, what is it for?”
“We want you to talk to us again!” blurted out Ella
“We miss you Ray, you’re one of my best friends and I don’t want to lose you for anything!” pleaded Niall
“It isn’t enough.” Said Raven, playing with her menu “It’s not enough to be ‘one of your best friends’ I wanted to be more Horan, but you ruined that, I thought, wished, you cared about me, like, even the night of the party I was going to ask you to go out with me. I’m sorry Niall,” she grimaced at the name “But you’re already losing me” She paused for a moment, taking in Niall’s pained expression, before turning to Ella and adding
“And you, you were supposed to be a good friend, my best friend, you should have known how much I liked him at the time, and you should have respected that, but no, instead you go and get yourself drunk as you can, and go for a grope behind the tour bus!”
Niall blew out a stream of air, and explained
“It was never meant to happen, I swear, one minute I was walking over to you and Liam, the next Ella had walked into me. We were just so drunk, we could barely see straight! I’m so so so sorry I hurt you Ray, I didn’t want this.” Ella started up
“I never meant it to happen, honestly, I didn’t know it was Niall until you gave us the ice bath, honestly I thought it was, err, doesn’t matter” she blushed and looked sheepishly away from us.
“I know that doesn’t have any effect on what we did, but for what it’s worth, we’re truly sorry” Said Niall “If we could start fresh?” he continued.
“Hey, I’m Raven O’Sullivan, you must be Niall Horan, and you are Ella Starling?” I asked
“Sure,” said Niall “You can start from there, but I was thinking before the party,”
“Okay.” said Raven, biting her lip. And smiling shyly from under her hair at him.

Raven POV
A little bit later
“Who was it you were going to say earlier, who you thought Niall was?” I asked, moving towards my bed and throwing myself onto it.
“Well, errm, you know. Right, you know I’ve been sleeping with Harry...” muttered Ella playing with the edge of her quilt.
“News to me, I thought you were gonna ask him out?” I replied.
“Errm well, yeah but I like someone even more and we’ve had a bit of something going for a while”
I panicked inwardly, hoping it wasn’t Niall.
It wasn’t Niall.
It was Liam.
My best friend Liam.
3 Weeks later
Louis POV
Things are almost back to how they were. Raven and Ella are mates again and Niall and Raven flirt on and off. It’s good to be almost back into the old swing of things, but Liam still needs that extra boost, he’ll be okay soon though, when Ray’s happy, he’s not too far behind her.
It was 9am and we had no concert that night so I got up. The others were still asleep so I pulled on some trackie bottoms and headed into Ella and Ray’s room. They were both still fast asleep, so I snapped a couple of pics of them on my phone and uploaded them to twitter lol! I thought, they are gonna be so pissed at me when they see that! I then jumped on to Raven’s bed and started bouncing; she woke with a start and blinked her eyes wide. I was sure I saw her eyes flash red before returning to their original chocolate brown, but, I was probably just imagining things. She groaned
“What Louis?” and rolled over her arm flipping across and waking Ella for me, she moaned and stretched, pulling her knees up to her chest. I noticed a tiny tattoo of a starling on her ankle, it was beautiful.
I tore my eyes away from the tattoo to yell
“GIRRRRRRLLLLS! GET UP! WE’RE GOING TO GO ICE SKATING TODAY!!!!!!!!”
“Are you sure that’s a good idea?” asked Raven “What with my balance and Ella’s tendency to wear the most ridiculous clothes for the occasion!?” Ella chucked a pillow at her for the comment, which she easily dodged.
“Yep, it’s a BRILLIANT idea!” I laughed loudly.
A/N YAY! Everyone's back to normal! Hope you like this, I might do another triple update tomorow xxx
Niall's smile xx
