Isn't She Lovely?

“You are so beautiful.” Harry murmered softly as he stroked Darcy’s hair, “I have no idea how something so perfect is all mine.”

I smiled softly looking up from my notepad to watch him stare down at her. The way he was looking at her made my heart pound in my chest.

“You are so much like your mum,” he whispered quietly as he pressed a kiss to her forehead, “no boy is every going to be good enough for you. Least of all a boy like me.”

I bit my lip as I recalled him saying that to my Dad the first time he’d met him. I stood up from my position by the window and padded across the hotel room until I was behind Harry. I reached out and buried my fingers in his hair scratching his scalp slightly causing him to hum in appreciation. He looked up and me and smiled before we both looked down at our daughter.

“Sometimes I still can’t believe she’s ours.” He sighed and leant back against me.

Flashback – Darcy’s birth

“Get the fuck out.” I hissed at him and he shook his head.

“Come on babe.” He pressed a kiss to my forehead, “you are almost there.”

“Easy for you to fucking say you aren’t pushing anything out of your penis.” I snapped and he grinned, “I hate you. I fucking hate you.”

“I know.” He nodded squeezing my hand.

“We are never having sex again.” I groaned as another wave of pain washed over me, “fucking jesus Christ fuck!”

“So eloquent.” Harry chuckled and I used my other hand to hit him around the back of the head, “fuck! That hurt.”

“Oh I’m sorry do you need a doctor? Did that tap hurt?” I spat sarcastically at him, “here have my doctor it’s not like I’m pushing a fucking baby out of me!”

“Can we please get this thing out of her? I’d quite like my wife back.” Harry groaned to the doctor who chuckled.

“We’re trying our best, we can see a head. One big push Blair and we’ll be to the shoulders.” The doctor said calmly and I groaned.

“I can’t do this.” I collapsed back into the chair, “I’m going to be eternally in labour. Fuck, how do people do this? God Harry this hurts. I can’t do it.”

“Come on B,” he wiped the tears that were falling down my face, “you can do this, you are so close and just think about our little baby that we get at the end.”

“Why can’t you be the one with the vagina? I grew it you should share the load and push it out! Why do I have to do everything?” I groaned closing my eyes as I felt him press a kiss to my forehead, “god I feel so gross.”

“You look beautiful.” He promised, “come on B, a few more pushes.”

“Fuck.” I groaned sitting up and pushing.

“The head is out!” The doctor grinned up at me and I huffed, “over the shoulders and baby will just slide right out.”

“Oh god.” I groaned, “fuck. Harry!”

“I know. My fault.” He nodded, “I’m a bastard.”

“I hate you.” I huffed as he pressed his forehead to mine.

“I know. I hate me to.” He nodded looking into my eyes.

“You need to keep that penis away from me.” I groaned closing my eyes, “this isn’t ever happening again.”

“I know. It’s evil, I’m evil and we’re never having sex again.” He nodded, “one more push baby.”

“I can’t.” I cried

“For me?” he asked and I groaned.

“I fucking hate you Harry Styles.” I clenched my teeth together as I pushed one more time.

The sound of a baby crying made my heart pound in my chest.

“Is that?” I looked at Harry who was staring at me nodding slowly.

“That’s our munchkin.” His voice was in awe.

“You have a beautiful baby girl.” The doctor smiled up at us as I burst out crying.

After that was a bit of a blur until our little bundle of pink was handed to me.

“Hello.” I cooed stroking her cheek softly.

“She’s so small.” Harry rested his head against mine as we looked at our daughter.

“She didn’t feel small.” I grumbled and Harry chuckled, “but so perfect.”

“We have a human.” He bit his lip and looked at me, “we created her.”

“I know.” I smiled softly, “god I love you.”

“I love you too baby,” he leant forward and kissed me softly.

“I didn’t mean any of it.” I told him looking down at our little girl, “not a word.”

“I know.” He stroked my hair and pressed a kiss to my forehead.

“You have some visitors, they were quite insistent about coming in.” The nurse smiled at us as Louis head poked around the corner.

“Of course they were, let them in.” I nodded smiling softly and went back to looking at our daughter, “hey Darcy do you want to meet your Daddy?”

“Hey beautiful.” He cradled her close and she opened her eyes, “we finally meet huh?”

“So munchkin’s a girl?” Louis asked as they walked in.

“She is.” I nodded.

“How are you lovely?” Louis asked walking over to me.

“Alright.” I yawned.

“You did so good B.” Jenny cooed as she looked at Darcy who was snuggling into Harry’s chest, “she’s perfect.”

“Kind of looks like a potato.” Niall commented and Jenny hit him as I laughed.

“Have you guys been here the whole time?” I asked as Louis stroked my hair softly.

“Course.” He grinned, “I brought you this, figured you’d need it.”

“Lifesaver.” I groaned taking the cup of tea he offered me and groaning in appreciated at the first sip.

“We have a baby.” Louis shook his head as he looked at Darcy, “somehow us load of idiots has managed to be allowed the responsibility of a tiny human.”

“We didn’t have a baby Lou.” I shook my head, “Harry and I had a baby. And I did most of the work. Styles your slacking, pick it up on the parenting already.”

“Darcy is our baby,” Louis stroked her cheek softly as Harry rolled his eyes at me, “you know that Monroe.”

“Styles.” Harry groaned, “she’s Styles. She’s been Styles for ages.”

“She’ll always be a Monroe.” Louis grinned, “this little one has the Monroe glint in her eye already. Don’t you trouble?”

I smiled as Harry moved away from Louis, I shuffled in the bed as he sat next to me resting Darcy on his propped up legs. He wrapped an arm around me as I snuggled into his side, both of us watching Darcy stare back at us.

“Such a cute family.” Jenny grinned, “we better let the others come in.”

“Tell them they can’t be long,” Harry called out after her, “B is tired.”

“I’m fine.” I yawned and he pressed a kiss to my forehead.

“Kind of want it to be the three of us.” Harry admitted quietly, “she’s ours B. We actually did it.”

“I know.” I reached out to touch her, “she’s so perfect.”

Present

“Come here.” Harry stood up and wrapped his arms around me.

“I want another baby.” I groaned and he chuckled.

“Let’s just concentrate on the one we have now.” He grinned leaning back and tucking my hair behind my ear.

“But I want the tiny fingers and tiny toes.” I groaned, “so cute and small and…”

“Loud and nocturnal.” Harry grinned.

“You’re right.” I sighed sneaking at look at Darcy, “maybe I’ll convince El to get pregnant on honeymoon.”

“Lou doesn’t want kids yet.” Harry mumbled nuzzling his face into my neck.

“Don’t care. I didn’t want him to go on that first tour for 6 months and he left. Stuff happens.” I shrugged and Harry laughed softly, “I want a baby I can hand back.”

“Talking of babies.” Harry stroked my back softly and looked down at ours, “what are we doing about her?”

“Nothing.” I leaned into his chest and pulled his top lower to see his swallows, “we just give it time. Couple more weeks and we’ll be back together.”

“That doesn’t sound like a permanent fix though.” He bit his lip as I traced the swallows softly.

“I think that’s the best we’ve got right now though.” I sighed.

“She’ll be okay right?” Harry asked biting his lip.

“Course,” I nodded looking down at our little girl as she squirmed in her sleep, “she’s our baby, of course she’ll be okay.”

There was a knock on the door and I moved away from Harry to see Louis standing with a grin on his face and Zayn behind him.

“What do you two want?” I narrowed my eyes at the pair as they continued to beam at me, “I’ve seen those looks before and it normally ends up messy.”

“Bar tonight?” Zayn asked and Louis snorted

“You said that like it was a question mate,” Louis shook his head before turning back to me, “we’re going to the pub tonight and you two are joining us.”

“What about Darcy?” Harry crossed his arms.

“You’ve spent all day with her.” Louis groaned, “come on, she’ll be asleep she won’t even know you two aren’t there!”

“Lou,” I sighed biting my lip.

“It’ll be like old times.” Louis bounced on the balls of his feet.

“That’s what worries me.” I shook my head.

“Have you seen the stories online?” Zayn asked.

“No.” I shook my head looking at Harry who shook his head.

“About you guys going out today with Darcy.” Zayn walked past us towards Harry’s open mac.

“Why is he bringing this up?” I asked Louis who shrugged.

“Come look at this one.” He pointed at the screen.

Shutting up the doubters, the Styles family back together again

The press have been less than kind to this small family of late. There have been numerous rumours flying around that Blair and Harry have been being less than faithful recently.

The world has been enamored with this pairing for nearly 7 years now and has followed them through their lows (their break up) to their highs (the birth of their daughter) and it doesn’t seem like that will be stopping anytime soon.

The family of three went out earlier today to soak up the sunshine and spend some quality time together only to be mobbed by fans. Harry was pictured holding his daughters head against his chest as he tried to maneuver through the crowd. Normally calm and collected Styles looked agitated and on edge with his wife Blair visibly upset as she ducked her head into her husbands back as she clung onto him. The small family were quick to retreat into a nearby café until police arrived to escort the fans back to allow them to leave. They were however spotted later in a park looking a lot more relaxed as they played around together with smiles on their faces. This isn’t the first time the pair have induced a fan reaction of that scale but they haven’t ever reacted as they did today leading people to be curious if it’s another crack in the couple’s relationship.

The night before the pair were pictured going into a restaurant and emerged with smiles on their faces as they linked hands and walked to the car that waited for them. Sources from inside the restaurant described the couple as being very tactile with each other. The pair haven’t been spotted out with the rest of the band as they usual would be as Blair has a close relationship with all the members. Another sign that maybe the pair needed some alone time to work over any problems they might be having.

With reports of infidelity surrounding the pair it has cast doubt over whether the relationship is genuine or staged at this point.

“Are you kidding me?” I hissed and Harry’s jaw was set tightly.

“Why are you showing them this?” Louis groaned and Zayn shrugged.

“I’d want to know.” He reasoned, “plus I thought that maybe if you came out with us it might put the rumours to bed a bit more?”

“We have never put on a show or been false before. Why now?” I shook my head as Harry put his hand on my arm, “no Harry seriously.”

“Blair come on, he didn’t mean it like that.” Harry wrapped an arm across my chest pulling me back against him.

“I didn’t,” Zayn held his hands up in surrender, “I just hate seeing all this shit about you guys. I just thought that every little helped yea?”

“Yea,” I groaned relaxing back into Harry before clenching my eyes shut and growling.

“Come on Monroe you’ve read worse.” Louis fake punched me and it was Harry’s turn to growl.

“Over 3 years. She has been a Styles for over 3 years how are you still calling her Monroe?” Harry huffed and Louis grinned.

“When she gets worked up she will always be Monroe.” Louis shrugged as I pulled my phone out my pocket, “woah there techie, what are you doing?”

“Addressing this bullshit.” I huffed and Harry sighed.

“Management will go after us if you do this.” Harry warned and I narrowed my eyes at him.

“I fucking hate management, when have they ever stood up for us?” I raised an eyebrow at him as he pursed his lips, “yea. Exactly. Never. It’s down to us Haz, always has been. Now let me get to tweeting.”

“I’m watching this.” Zayn turned back to the mac and waited.

People need to back off with the reports at the moment. There is nothing fake about our relationship other than those cheating rumours. Harry and I are fine…

…of course I was upset my daughter was crying her eyes out because she was scared. Harry and I have never been closer to hitting our limit like we were yesterday…

…we love chatting to fans and never mind when they want to talk to Darcy but when it gets like that it isn’t safe for anyone involved. Darcy is only a toddler please respect that and keep a safe distance at least when we have her…

…I don’t want this to come across as a rant. I just really want you guys to understand. Honestly, I’m sick of having to defend our marriage all the time. We’re happy. End of.

“Oish.” Zayn widened his eyes.

“I need a drink.” I huffed, “when are we going out?”

“That’s the Monroe spirit!” Louis grinned bouncing up and down next to me.

“Seriously Lou?” Harry asked and Louis shrugged.



“So then I was like…back off buddy!” I pushed the air and Niall cackled with laughter.

“You called him buddy?” Niall asked his eyes wide and red around the edges.

“I was going to call him a wanker but the alliteration didn’t work.” I waved my hand and he threw his head back.

“Fuck. I forgot you use long words when you drink.” Niall shook his head, “we ran out of shots.”

“No we didn’t.” I sat up on my chair and looked at the coffee table in front of us before frowning, “we ran out of shots Nialler. How is that possible?”

“It should be illegal.” He stood up only to stumble a little as I giggled.

“Let’s go.” I grinned standing up and wobbling on my heels slightly before we walked towards the bar.

“Look at her, she’s just stunning.” Harry said loudly as we walked towards were he stood with Zayn.

“You’re a suck up.” I grinned as he wrapped his arms around my waist resting them on the small of my back as he pulled me closer to press his lips to mine.

“I love you.” He mumbled against them as I giggled.

“Karaoke bar!” Louis appeared bouncing up and down with his hand joined to Jenny who was jumping up and down in her heels.

“No.” I shook my head as Harry laughed.

“Don’t be a bore.” Louis tapped my nose, “oh look, everyone has run out of drink. We can go straight away!”

“Fuck fuck fuck.” Liam stumbled into Zayn, “Dani is going to kill me.”

“Doubt it.” I shook my head, “we women don’t tend to kill, you know it’s empty threats.”

“Really?” Harry asked and I shook my head at him.

“No. I’m the exception.” I told him and he rolled his eyes.

“Course you are.” He huffed.

“Do you mean it when you threaten to withhold sex?” Niall asked and Jenny hit him, “what?”

“Shut up.” She rolled her eyes at him.

“Well?” Zayn asked.

“Yea, do you mean it?” Liam asked distracted from whatever it is he just did.

“Umm,” I pursed my lips and glanced at Harry who laughed.

“There is a story there!” Jenny squealed and I pursed my lips.

“No story. Come on, karaoke!” I grabbed Harry’s hand and tugged

“Let’s just say Blair doesn’t have very good staying power.” Harry laughed as they all grinned.

“No sex!” I pointed at him and he nipped my finger.

“You know you can’t resist me.” He growled as he kissed down my neck, “all the things I can do to you, the way I can make you feel and that thing that…”

“Alright kids, let’s keep it PG!” Louis separated us, “karaoke bar!”

We all piled out the club and through the cameras as I ducked into Harry’s back with Zayn holding my waist behind me. They were all calling out to us and I growled which only made Harry laugh before we made it to the car. Harry, Zayn, Louis and I were in one car with the others in the car behind us.

“Did you growl at a photog?” Zayn asked and I bit my lip, “you did!”

“He stood on my foot.” I pursed my lips.

“Is it alright?” Harry went to grab my foot and I pushed his hand away.

“It’s fine H,” I smiled stroking his face softly, “thank you though.”

“I just want to take care of you.” He pressed his forehead to mine.

“Pass me the sick bucket.” Louis ordered dramatically.

“Shut up.” I leant forward and pushed his head to the side.

“Karaoke karaoke karaoke.” Harry started singing making Zayn burst out laughing.

I leant back in my seat and watched the boys joke around together and even in my drunk state I couldn’t help but feel a wave of pride flush through me. They had been together for so long and yet they still acted like they had at the very beginning, it was like none of the crazy things that had happened to them had affected them.

“No thinking face.” Louis shook his head as he tugged me out the car, “this is a night of fun and wonder!”

“You’re getting married.” I whispered into his ear as we stood at the bar and he pursed his lips.

“I guess.” He nodded before leaning over the bar and grabbing the attention of the barmaid, “can I get two bottles of Laurent Perrier please.”

“Champagne?” I cocked an eyebrow.

“It’s not everyday I get you lot into a karaoke bar.” He shrugged before handing over his card as the bottles arrived.

I turned to look at our friends who had positioned themselves at a table by the stage, Jenny was sat on Niall’s lap as she flailed her hands around wildly narrowly missing taking Niall out multiple times.

“How long do you give it before they join the club?” I asked Louis nodding in their direction.

“I don’t think either cares about getting married.” He shrugged, “it’s just a bit of paper really.”

My mouth fell open as he walked away from the bar towards our friends brandishing the bottles high in the air causing a round of cheers. I shook my head stalking after him, Harry grabbed my waist and pulled me down onto his lap.

“Calm down,” he mumbled into the skin below my ear, “whatever it is, calm down.”

“Our marriage, “ I turned to him and his eyebrows shot up in surprise obviously not expecting this to be the subject that had me riled up, “you don’t think its just a piece of paper right?”

“Course not.” He shook his head then scrunched his eyebrows together, “why would you think that?”

“I don’t.” I crossed my arms before turning in Louis direction, “he does though.”

“He’s just drunk B,” He rubbed his hand down my arm and I sighed, “he loves El.”

“Let’s go.” Jenny jumped up and grabbed Niall’s hand, “the newest song they have is from like 2013. Love it!”

“Give me.” I gestured to the glass and Zayn passed it to me laughing as I knocked it back in one.

“Easy.” Harry shook his head and I rolled my eyes at him.

I sat back and watched as Jenny sang with Niall, then Louis sang a spice girls song with some weird dance moves that normally would have made me laugh but resulted in my tipped another glass of champagne down my throat. Harry stood up and winked at me, I furrowed my eyebrows together and Zayn chuckled.

“This is going to be good,” he grinned at me and I eyed him suspiciously, “you not singing?”

“Nope.” I shook my head and he nodded pulling out his phone.

“I’m defiantly recording this.” He grinned and I rolled my eyes.

Maroon 5’s Moves like Jagger started and I giggled then stopped to look at Zayn who was grinning.

“Who’s singing the Christina Aguilera part of this song?” I asked and he shrugged with a knowing smile, “idiot.”

The crowd in the bar were all loving the performances that were being put on and I couldn’t help but grin as I watched Harry do what he loved doing. His voice sounded pretty good with the song which surprised me slightly. He walked over to me and started singing in my direction making me laugh until he stuck his hand out with a wink. I shook my head but he pulled me onto the stage wrapping an arm around my waist.

“Come on B,” he whispered into my ear, “sing to me.”

I bit my lip.

“Come on, I dare you.” I looked up to see him grinning at me, “or are you chicken?”

I grabbed the mic from him and looked over at the screen scanning over the words. Before I started singing, I looked at Harry and couldn’t help but smirk. He started dancing and suddenly we were flirting and acting up to each other and I was enjoying being on stage. At the end people cheered, Harry handed back the mic before pulling me into a kiss on stage. The hooting and hollering from our table alone brought a blush to my cheek.

“That was fucking hot.” He groaned as he pulled away from me and I laughed softly.

“Welcome to every night on tour with you.” I mumbled into his lips before kissing him again.

We found our way back to the table which suddenly had a lot more drinks on it. We finished up with Jenny pulling me up to sing a Saturdays song before we decided to move it back to the hotel. We were all giggling drunken messes but somehow managed to make it inside.

“We’re best friends.” Jenny snuggled into me as we staggered into the lift, “forever.”

“Forever.” I nodded and she grinned looking up and me and pressing her forehead to mine.

“Please make out, please make out.” Niall chanted behind us causing Jenny and I to both start laughing uncontrollably.

“Make out.” Harry whined and I fell into him.

“With you? Sure.” I grinned going onto the tops of my toes and kissing him.

“So affectionate.” Liam laughed with Zayn.

“We love each other.” I sang as we walked into the suite swinging Harry’s hand.

“It’s sickening.” Louis snorted grabbing the bottle of vodka from the side.

“It’s cute.” Jenny grinned looking up at Niall who pecked her on the nose.

“It’s naïve is what it is.” Louis made a strong vodka and coke, “he’ll cheat on her and then it’ll suck again. It’s what happens. Broken hearts all round.”

“Maybe you’ve had enough mate.” Liam took the glass from Louis

“Maybe you should stop being so fucking boring.” Louis spat taking it back, “maybe that will stop you and Dani being like fucking yo-yos. Back together, broken up, back together, broken up. I can’t keep up at this point.”

“Louis.” I stepped forward.

“Nah, not interested in you.” He shook his head before pointing at me, “you’re a joke.”

“What?” I scrunched my eyebrows together.

“I said you’re a joke Blair.” He stood up and took a step towards me, I felt Harry move to stand behind me and Louis noticed, “calm down Haz, I’m not going to touch her.”

“What is with you?” I asked, “why are you being like this?”

“It’s all so fucked up yea?” He shook his head, “look at us. Our relationships are shit. All a bunch of shit.”

“Louis.” Harry shook his head his voice held a warning tone.

“Zayn is the only lucky bastard here.” He pointed at Zayn before turning to Jenny and Niall, “you two started in the most fucked up way ever, she fucked you around Niall and you just took her back. Begged her to be with you. Pathetic as fuck.”

Niall took a step forward and Jenny put her hand on his arm tugging him back.

“How’d you sleep next to him Jen? Huh? Do you think about all the boys you fucked when you were sleeping with him? Do they every cross your mind?” He asked cocking his head to the side, “fuck, it’s so fucked up the way you pushed him away. As if he was nothing. He’s too good for you babe. Way out of your fucking league.”

“It’s in the past Louis,” Liam stepped in front of Niall and Jenny looking at Louis, “no relationship is perfect.”

“Learnt that from your fucked up life with Dani yea? So what are we now? Together or not, you need to write it down mate.” Louis shook his head, “I get fucking whiplash from your relationship.”

“Don’t be a twat Lou,” I shook my head.

“Let him B, let him say what he wants.” Liam shook his head, “doesn’t bother me.”

“Nothing bothers you does it mister sensible? Always know to take the higher road, act like you’re better than the rest of us. Are you enjoying the view from up there on your high horse?” Louis picked up the glass he’d made earlier and knocked it back in one.

“Let’s get you to bed.” I stepped towards him and he laughed.

“Let’s not get started on you two huh?” Louis crossed his arms and look at us. “The most fucked up couple in One Direction history. Jesus I’ve read fan fictions with characters that make more sense then you. Stories with less drama and shit. You’re relationship is the shitest of them all. You’re both a joke.”

“Louis back off.” Zayn stepped forward as I shook my head.

“Let him Zayn, let him say whatever the fuck he wants to say about us. I’m all ears Lou.” I shrugged and Harry put his hand on my waist.

“Let’s just leave B,” he said quietly.

“No.” I shook my head, “there’s obviously a reason Louis is being such a twat. What is it Lou?”

“You think your marriage is so fucking perfect, you two are so in love and are going to live happily ever after.” He shook his head, “that isn’t life B, you know that and its ridiculous that you act like its all alright. Marriages break up because people fuck up. Everyone fucks up. Screws each other over, it’s just a joke that people forgive and forget. You never really forget, do you B?”

“Louis,” I said softly moving towards him and he suddenly lost all the bravado and fell into me in a hug.

“Please tell me you forget.” He begged and I petted his hair as he buried his face into my neck.

“You never forget Lou,” I pressed a kiss to his head and Harry bit his lip looking at the floor, “but it gets easier. You trust them again and then it’s just irrelevant.”

“How?” He pulled away and I wiped away the tears that were on his face, “how do you get there? Only I’m marrying El in about 2 months and when I look at her I don’t see the girl I fell in love with.”

“What is he talking about?” Jenny whispered to Niall and Louis sniffed.

“She cheated on me.” He looked over at her, “cheated on me and now I’m still going to marry her. But it’s a joke, when you marry someone you’re meant to be excited and I’m just not.”

“You need to go to sleep Lou,” I stroked his cheek softly, “go to sleep and if you still feel like this in the morning we’ll figure it out.”

“How?” He sniffed, “how do we figure this out?”

“We just do.” Harry moved to stand next to us, he looked pained to see his best friend like this and I knew exactly how he felt.

“I’m sorry.” Louis looked at Harry, “I didn’t mean it. I just…”

“It’s too familiar?” Harry tried and bit his lip, “I wish it wasn’t. Blair and I have moved on but I still feel guilty about it.”

“You two are perfect together, you know that I believe that right?” He looked between us and I nodded giving him a soft smile.

“We know.” I took his hand in mine, “let’s put you to bed Boo.”

I led him to his room and tucked him in making sure that there was a glass of water next to his bed. I sat on the edge of his bed and stroked his hair as he bit down on his lip.

“I shouldn’t be marrying her, should I?” He looked up at me and I looked at my fingers in his hair.

“That’s up to you Boo. I think you need to decide what you want. Marrying someone doesn’t mean the bad stuff goes away,” I sighed, “whatever you decide we’ll all be here for you. You don’t have to do all this alone.”

“Thank you.” He rolled onto his back, “I’m sorry about what I said out there.”

“It’s fine.” I shrugged standing up, “I’ve read worse about myself.”

“I love you Blair.” He called out as I reached the door.

“I love you too.” I smiled before walking out of the room.

Everyone had moved onto the balcony and I picked up a glass filling it with Jack Daniels and coke before walking out to join them. Zayn wrapped an arm around my shoulders before pressing a kiss to my forehead.

“What are we going to do about him?” Niall asked and I shrugged.

“We just have to be there for him,” I took a sip of my drink, “he’s got some big decisions to make.”

“I don’t get it though, he was so excited when we book to go the other week.” Liam shook his head, “what’s changed his mind?”

“Maybe it all just really hit him that he was marrying her,” Harry ran a hand through his hair, “marrying someone is a big commitment, it’s not just a piece of paper and you have to be completely invested in it. Maybe he’s realizing he’s not there with her yet.”

“I want to wrap him up in cotton wool so nobody hurts him again.” I huffed and Zayn chuckled squeezing me to him slightly.

“We’ll help B,” Harry smiled softly at me and I nodded before moving away to Zayn and into Harry’s arms.

He pressed a kiss to the top of my head as I snuggled into his neck, my stomach was in knots from seeing my best friend completely lose it and knowing exactly where that pain was coming from. Maybe it was part of my motherly instinct but as he was breaking down I felt the overwhelming urge to protect him and comfort him. More so than I usually would.
