~Flashback~
Harry’s POV
It was 2 in the morning and the party was still going strong. Everyone was inside Liam and Dani’s place now since it started to rain outside.
Isla had gone to talk to Dani, Perrie and El and I was on the couch with the rest of the boys. Niall got drunk a couple of hours ago and was now passed out on Zayn’s shoulder, his mouth hanging open.
Lou had gotten a marker and drew a moustache and goatee on his face right after he passed out. He had taken a picture of it with the intent of using it to blackmail him in the future if he ever needed it. What a good friend.
“We should get Niall home,” Zayn said, as drool started falling from Niall’s mouth and onto Zayn’s shoulder.
“Yeah, that’s probably best,” Liam said, “I’ll take him back to his place. I’ll just let Dani know.” He then got up and headed towards the girls.
I saw Perrie heading over to us. “Hey, babe, we should go, I have to work tomorrow,” she said to Zayn.
“Alright, let me just help Liam put Niall in his car,” he replied.
Liam came back and went over to Niall’s sleeping body. He grabbed his one arm and put it around his shoulder and pulled him up as Zayn quickly did the same thing with Niall’s other side. Together, they headed out the door.
“Aw, guys, the party’s not over yet,” Niall whined, his head was moving but his eyes were still closed.
“For you, it is, mate,” Zayn said.
“Nooooo, you’re such a…such a…meanie,” Niall slurred.
“Say bye to everyone, Niall,” Liam said, as he opened the front door.
“BYE TO EVERYONE, NIALL!!!” Niall yelled. Everyone laughed at him.
“BYE, ISLA!!!” he said right before the door closed behind him.
Once again, jealousy hit me. I glanced over at Isla and saw her smiling and blushing as I could see Dani and El teasing her about what just happened.
I got really upset then because it seemed like she liked Niall. And the girls were teasing her, so maybe she told them that she did like him.
All of these thoughts were taunting me, making me sad.
But then all of those thoughts were pushed away and my heart leaped as I looked up and saw Isla looking at me. She smiled at me when we made eye contact. I smiled back and she gave me a small wave.
We were staring at each other for what seemed like an eternity until Dani broke her gaze and she brought her to another room along with El.
My heart was still beating fast with the smile still present on my face. I hid it though from Lou who was still beside me on the couch.
Zayn came through the door then and Perrie went over to him. Dani, El and Isla came out and all said bye to them.
“See you later, mates,” Zayn yelled over to me and Lou.
“See ya,” we said back and waved to him. They then opened the door and left.
“Hey, Lou! Come get a drink with me,” El said.
Lou got up and patted me on the shoulder. “Catch you later, Hazza,” he said.
I saw him walk over to El and they went into the kitchen. Dani said something to Isla and headed into another room. Then Isla turned around and headed towards me.
I smiled until she reached me. “I was beginning to think that you were avoiding me,” I teased as she sat down.
“I would never avoid you,” she said, smiling, “Dani wanted me to get to know El and Perrie more. They’re such sweet girls."
“Yeah, they are,” I said. I thought to myself that it was my turn to get to know her more. But I knew that it would be hard to here at the party.
“Hey, wanna go out for some ice cream or something? It stopped raining,” I said, nervously, “Niall ate all of the food and I’m kinda hungry.” I hope she didn’t notice how nervous I was.
“Sure! I’d love to,” she exclaimed, “I’ll just tell Dani that we’ll be back.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you by the door,” I said. She got up and searched for Dani.
A couple of minutes later she came back.
“Ready?” I asked.
“Yup,” she replied.
With that, I opened the door for her and we walked out and started walking since we both had a bit to drink.
Since it was late, there was no one out and no one would spot us. I was glad because I didn’t want to get interrupted. I wanted to spend the whole time with her.
And I didn’t want this night to end.

Isla's POV
"Is there even an ice cream shop open at 2 in the morning?" I asked, looking sideways at Harry. Me and Harry had been walking for about 20 minutes and I didn't know where we were going. Harry was leading the way.
"Well, there's a coffee shop that's open 24 hours and they sell ice cream, too" he said, then he started looking around at the shops, "it's around here somewhere."
We walked past a few shops, all closed and pitch black inside. There were scarce cars out and it was really quiet.
"Ah, there it is," he said pointing to a the only shop around it that had lights on. We walked a few more meters when we reached the front of the store. He opened the door for me and a bell dinged.
"Thank you," I said. I stepped inside and walked towards the counter. Harry soon appeared beside me and a woman came out from the back kitchen.
"Hello, my dears, what can I get ya?" she asked, politely.
"I'll have white chocolate ice cream, please," he said.
"Alright, and for you, young lady?" she asked me.
"I'll have cookies and cream," I said with a smile.
"Sounds good, you two can have a seat and I'll bring it to you when it's ready," she said, before walking to the far side of the counter where the ice cream was.
Me and Harry headed to one of the small booths in the far corner. We sat down opposite from each other and waited for our ice cream when an awkward silence fell between us.
Thankfully, Harry finally said something.
"Thanks for coming with me," he said, "I appreciate it." He smiled at me and his eyes sparkled from the moonlight shining through the window. I was so hypnotized by it that I had a hard time trying to talk. I cleared my throat.
"It's my pleasure," I said, "I mean, we can get to know each other a bit." Since this might be the last time we ever see each other, I thought to myself.
"Ok, well we can learn about me some other time, I wanna know more about you," he said. When he said 'some other time', my heart skipped a beat. He wants to see me again. Butterflies started going crazy in my stomach and I couldn't stop smiling.
"Well, what would you like to know?" I asked, leaning forward and resting my arms on the table.
"Let's start of easy, what's your favourite colour?"
"Red," I replied.
"Favourite actor."
"Johnny Depp."
"Favourite singer?"
"Taylor Swift."
"Favourite band," he asked with a smirk.
"The Wanted."
The smile on his face faded. You'd think by now he'd catch on. I tried to stifle my laugh but I couldn't.
"Ahh, I can't believe you did that again. I can't believe I fell for it," he said, smiling again, "but seriously who is it? You don't have to say One Direction, I'm just curious."
"Well, I do like your music, I'm not gonna lie," I said, his smile growing, "but my absolute favourite is Coldplay."
"I love Coldplay!" he said, surprised, "I went to their concert a while back, they're amazing."
"I've always wanted to go to one of their concerts but it gets sold out so fast," I said.
"I'll take you to one sometime," he said.
I was shocked at how forward he was but I was flattered. He probably sensed it and he blushed and looked down.
"I-I mean, if...if you want to," he said.
"I would love that but I couldn't let you do that for me," I said, politely. I didn't want it to seem like I was just using him to get things for free, that's why I declined his offer.
"But I want to," he said, "every Coldplay fan should get the chance to see them live."
"We'll see," I said, smiling.
He lightly chuckled and said, "Alright."
Just then the women came with our ice creams and put it on the table in front of us. We thanked her and she turned around and went back into the back kitchen.
I took a bite of my ice cream, the sudden coldness sending shivers throughout my body.
"So, what else would you like to know?" I asked.
From then on, Harry asked me all kinds of questions, my favourite movie, my birthday. It turns out that I'm older than him but only by 3 months since my birthday's in November.
Then the questions started getting a bit more personal, he asked me about my family and where I was from.
Then I noticed him playing with his ice cream, not looking at me when he said, "so...do you have a boyfriend?"
My stomach did a flip and my heartbeat quickened. I looked down trying to hide my blush.
"No, I don't," I said. After a few seconds, I felt my blush go start to go away so I decided to look up. Harry was still looking down but I could see a smile on his face.
"Do you?" I asked, nervously. Great, now he's gonna know I like him since this was the only question I asked about him. He looked up at me, the smile still lightly present on his face.
"No, I don't have a boyfriend," he said with a smirk.
I rolled my eyes and smiled.
"Ha. Ha. Very funny. That's not what I meant," I said.
He smiled and looked at me for a while. I stared back at him, getting lost in his eyes again.
"No, I don't have a girlfriend," he finally said, our eyes still locked on each others.
I simply nodded but inside my head I was dancing with joy.
"But I do like someone," he said.
I didn't know whether I should ask him who he liked because if I did and he liked some other girl, he would think I was being nosey. And also, I was scared of finding out if it would be someone else. It was most definitely someone else. We've only known each other for less than a day and there were beautiful girls out there who would catch his attention everywhere he goes. He would never like me.
I looked away and looked down at my ice cream bowl, not knowing what to say.
"Aren't you gonna ask me who I like?" he said.
I cleared my throat.
"Would you like me to ask you?" I asked, nervously. I finally had the guts to look up at him and saw him looking intently at me.
He nodded at my question, his curls lightly bouncing and falling over his eyes. Then he shook his hair and flipped it to the side and brushing it lightly with his hand.
"So, Harry Styles, who is the girl that has your heart right now?" I asked, my heart quickening.
We stared at each other for a long time, me impatiently waiting for his answer.
"The beautiful girl that has my heart right now is--"
