it's now or never.

Abby

Abby strolled down the street in her favorite sundress on her way to meet with her good friend Hadley for lunch. She was excited it was her first week back in The UK from holiday. Turning the corner she paused seeing camera's flashing wildly at the restaurant she was meeting Hadley at her blue eyes narrowed slightly trying to see past the millions of photographers crowding the building to see who was there and what could possibly be happening. "Excuse me!" She shouted making her way through the photographers to get inside she opened the door and shut it behind her quickly. "Damn paps, always mucking around in others business." she muttered out looking around for Hadley.

Her eyes scanned the crowded dining room. "Excuse me ma'am how may I help you?" The man spoke seeing the blonde girl looking around. "I'm meeting a friend for Lunch, she's got brown hair shes real petite and she's not very tall." She saw the man look around and pointed to a back private room. "I believe your friend is in there, Go on in." He said to her. "Thank you." She said politely as she made her way towards the private room. That's weird she thought to herself.

Liam

He sat next to Hadley he practically begged her to allow him to come with her to lunch. He needed the break from recording vocals to relax and hang out with friends. "So what's your friends name?" He asking taking a drink of his cola. "Abby." she said to him He looked around and nodded his head it was nice being close with his old friend again. "Thank you, for caving in and letting me come with you to lunch Hadley, I really needed this break." He said and smiled widely at her.

He looked up as a girl opened the door she was small and blonde. He prayed she wouldn't scream because he was here or that she wouldn't freak out from being a fan of his. He smiled seeing the two girls hug each other like they hadn't seen each other in years. "Hi, I'm Liam." He said holding his hand out to the blonde, "Hadley's told me a lot about you it's a pleasure to meet you."

(I had no idea where to start I hope this was okay.)

Harry was supposed to meet Liam a little over 15 minutes ago and was running late due to a debacle with some fans who'd recognized him, despite the fact he'd wore a hat and his biggest pair of sunglasses.

He never did a good job at disguising himself, probably because even when he was in a disguise he still had a signature look.

He'd met Hadley on a few occasions and always thought she was a good time. Plus, it was always nice to see someone who hadnt been destroyed by the rise of fame.

---

Hadley was always excited to see Liam, especially when it had been a while since she'd seen him. Since he'd become famous, the times they saw each other were few and far between, but she always enjoyed every second of it.

She'd never had Liam or any of the guys meet her friends before, mostly because she didn't want it to seem like she was using them for popularity, but she was excited for her oldest friend to meet her new best friend. Liam had heard quite a few stories about Abby, so it was probably nice for him to put a face to the name.

"Did you find the place alright?" Hadley asked Abby as the three of them sat down, ignoring the fact that there were tons of people on the other side of the door dying to meet Liam.

Abby shrugged her shoulders a little, "It was hard to miss with the huge group of people screaming outside of the building." She said and laughed a little she smiled at Liam it was finally nice to put a face to the name she'd heard from Hadley so many times before.

"it is nice to finally meet you Liam, Hadley talks fondly of you." she said as she looked over the menu she ordered a water and her brows furrowed when Liam said they were waiting on one more person. "hmm one more person? Who?" she asked.

"Harry." He replied and smiled a little, "One of my band mates." He said to her. Her eyes darted up when she noticed a figure walk into the room she caught his eyes and smiled a little she looked back down at her menu. To her these boys were just boys. She didn't know much of their fame nor did she care to.

---

Liam looked up when Harry appeared, "about time mate, you're late." He scolded Harry gently and smiled a little as he pointed. "Harry this is Hadley's friend Abby." He said and smiled seeing them shake hands and be friendly with each other.

He scooted closer to Hadley to avoid being separated as everyone shifted positions to sit together in a booth in the back. "This is nice right?" He asked Hadley looking at her. He cared for her deeply she'd been his dearest friend before the fame and he was trying his best to keep that friendship there even though he was always busy and gone on tours, interviews and recording the album.

Hadley nodded her head at Liam. She knew how busy his schedule was so she was thankful for even their limited time together. "Very nice," she said, smiling at him as she took a sip of her water. "When will you be able to hang out again?"

Grabbing a quick lunch was always nice, but Hadley couldn't wait to be able to really hang out again like when they would have get togethers with their friends and go to parties or hang out at his hotel room. It was rarely alone like Hadley would have wanted, but she took what she could get.

---

Harry smiled at Abby as he watched Liam cozy up to Hadley. He took the seat next to the new blonde girl and ordered his food. He was sure neither Liam nor Hadley intended for their lunch to be a double date, but it certainly seemed like that, though he knew that there was nothing romantic between Liam and Hadley.

He turned his attention to Abby after ordering and smiled at her. "So, how do you know Hadley?" He asked, trying to make conversation with the girl.

Liam looked at her and smiled a little "Tomorrow good for you? you can come over to my place and we can spend time together like we always used to, does that sound good?" He asked as he ordered his food he smiled a little at her. He looked up as soon as the waiter brought their food.

---

Abby looked at Harry when he started to talk to her, "I moved in next to her when I was 12 and we started talking and we've been friends ever since." She said and smiled at Harry she thanked the waiter and put her napkin in her lap as she looked at her food, "Yummy I haven't eaten here in ages."

"Tomorrow would be perfect," Hadley said with a nod as she took her plate from the waiter and pulled it in front of her. It had been a while since they'd hung out just the two of them, and she wasn't sure if she'd still know what to talk to him about. He'd had his fame for a while now, but Hadley still hadn't quite got the hang of dealing with the new Liam. "When will you be going on tour again?"

Hadley was used to not seeing Liam more than she saw him, so she knew it was just a matter of time before he'd be leaving again, and she wanted to get as much time in with him as she could before then.

---

"Well, the food looks delicious," Harry said as he took a bite of his pasta. "We don't really get to do things like this much. It's not often any of us get a chance to see our friends back home, especially going out for lunch." Harry was happy that Liam had a chance to see his old friend, because he knew how much he talked about Hadley and how little he saw her. It was kind of funny how different things were on the road than at home, but Harry was starting to get used to it.

(sorry for the delayed replies, I've been super busy prepping for thanksgiving with my fam.)

Liam thought for a few seconds his eyes narrowing slightly when he couldn't remember the exact date "I'm not too sure I can't remember the exact date I know its some time in January of 2015. After the release of Four, we're touring the album around a few countries, You should come with me." he asked looking at her as he ate looking at her his face showed he was completely serious about her coming.

Liam loved spending time with her in fact he'd had a crush on her since they first met and it had grown more but he knew that she didn't feel that way about him.

---

Abby ate in silence listening to everyone talk she was obviously a little different then most of them here at the table though hadley was used to how quiet and laid back she was she slowly sipped her water as she looked between Hadley, Liam and Harry she finished her food and sighed a little, "That was delicious, I love coming here." she said softly and smiled a little.

[Oh that's okay!]

"Wow, really?" Hadley asked, looking at Liam with her head cocked to the side. She always missed Liam when he was gone and hoped that he missed her too, but she never thought that he would invite her to go on tour with him. Not in a million years. "Are you sure? I mean, would everyone be okay with that? And you wouldn't get sick of me?"

Hadley could just imagine how wild and crazy being on tour was and she was certain that this would be the opportunity of a lifetime, especially the perfect opportunity to spend some more time with Liam considering how she felt about him.

---

"I've never been here before," Harry said to Abby, smiling at her as he took the last bite of his food. "But you're right. It is delicious." He wiped off his mouth with his napkin before taking a drink of his freshly poured water.

He leaned back in his chair and looked at Abby again. "So, what do you do for fun around here?" Harry wasn't sure if Liam was about to ditch with Hadley or what, but he was sure his band mate would probably want to spend at least a little time with Hadley alone.
