Rachel:

We woke up to the sound of knocking at the front door and the panic of Cassie's grandparents. We got up and walked into the living room. Her grandmother was relieved that she was with me and not Liam. I could tell that her grandfather was a little peeved but glad to know she was here as well. Cassie gave me a hug and then left. I walked into the kitchen where my grandma was.

"Hey grandma, how are you this morning?"

"Well Rach, I would have had a better nights rest if I known where my granddaughter was all night."

"Busted!" I said before she could say anything else about it. "I'm sorry, Cassie woke me up and told me about this party that was happening and she had the hook up to get in. So I went with her just to have some fun. Literally the best night of my life grandma!" I said thinking about Harry.

"Ah yes isn't her boyfriend in the same band as that Harry guy?" she asked

"Wait!! How did you know about her dating Liam?"

"I've known her grandparents a very long time and yesterday while you girls were hanging out we all got together and talked. They aren't fond of her dating Liam and they know that's the only reason she comes down here. They haven't seen her in over a year because the boys have been touring."

I sat there wrapping my head around everything when I felt my phone vibrate.

"Hey, grandparents are ok with me staying last night... think it could happen again tonight? Oh, and get ready we're going to go have lunch with the guys."

I looked at my grandma and she rolled her eyes. "Go Rachel, I brought you here to explore and have fun. Just don't get in trouble with the police and if y'all drink come here not her grandparents house. Now go get ready."

I jumped up and kissed her cheek before darting to my room. I grabbed a pair of jeans and a hoodie. I pulled my hair up in a high pony tail and threw on some make up. By the time I was finished Cassie was sitting in the living room waiting.

"Ready to go?" she asked

"Yep! Bye grandma." I said closing the door. "So apparently our grandparents had a pow wow without us yesterday and they talked about you and Liam."

"Yeah, no one in my family likes the fact that we're dating. I don't know why he's literally the sweetest guy ever! He called me everyday this past year that they've been away to tell me good morning and good night. I wish they would just give him a chance." Cassie said teary eyed.

"Well if it means anything to you, I support you guys together. You're super cute and I can tell he really loves you. How long have you guys been dating?" I asked

"It'll be a two years in a few weeks!" she cooed "And honestly it's been the best two years ever! We started dating right before the x-factor and have been going strong ever since."

"That's amazing Cassie congrats! I can't wait to really get to meet him today."

We pulled into a parking garage to park and then walked across the street to some pub looking place. Once inside we were greeted by Niall who lead us to the back room. We walked in and sat down. I looked around the room and notice Harry was missing. I saw Louis and Zayn talking and looking at me. I raised my eye brow and they started laughing.

"Ok, what am I missing?" I asked the two giggle boxes.

"Nothing! We're glad to have you in our little group is all." Louis said. I looked at Zayn and he smiled. I just rolled my eyes and started to eat my salad. We had just finished our meal when someone walked in.

"Damn dude you look like shit!" Louis exclaimed.

"Haha fuck you Louis, you didn't get ditched last night by a....." He stopped mid-sentence when I had turned around .

"Are you going to finish that statement?" I said getting up. "I'll be right back, I'm going to use the powder room." I pushed passed Harry and walked out. I locked myself in the bathroom stall for what seemed like hours but in reality it had only been 10 minutes. I heard the door open and Cassie asking if I was alright. I opened the door and walked out to talk to her.

"You know he was talking about me right? We were on the dance floor having a good time when I saw what time it was and I walked away from him to find you. I didn't even say why I had to leave." I mumbled.

"It's ok Rachel! He's fine about it, I explained everything about last night and Liam thanks you for hiding me last night. My grandparents would have a field day if they knew what actually happened." she hugged me and pulled me out of the bathroom and back to the table. This time when we walked in I was greeted by those crystal green eyes sitting across from me. I decided not to eat anything so I just sat there chatting and playing on my phone. I was about to put my phone away when I got a twitter notification saying that "Harry Styles is now following you!" I looked up and he was glued to his phone. I decided to finally tweet something about my trip and I had to tweet Heather about last night.

"It's amazing here, I honestly never want to go back!" Then I sent "@heather you would love the party I went to last night!!!" I put my phone away and started listening into the conversation when it turned to me.

"So Rachel, how long are you here for?" Niall asked

"I think I leave the first of August." I replied

"Have a boyfriend back home?" Louis asked

"Nope!" I said looking at Harry. He looked up at me real quick before looking back at his phone.

"Well then it's only Day 2 and you're hanging out with the most popular people in the UK... How does that feel?" Liam questioned.

"It's pretty legit! I've always wanted to meet you guys and here I am eating lunch with all of you!" I smirked

After about another 50 questions it was time to leave. Cass and I headed back to the parking garage but this time we were joined by Liam and Harry. I called shot gun and raced to the car. We headed for the guys house to hang out and just chill. When we pulled in I was in awe of how it looked.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!" I said getting out of the car. Liam laughed and walked inside. I just stood there looking at it while everyone but me went in. Well what I thought was just me, I heard someone clear there throat and it made me jump.

"What do you think?" Harry asked me

"It's incredible, I absolutely love it."

"Well then shall I give you the tour of the inside?" he asked. I nodded my head and followed him inside. We went room by room and then upstairs to where the bed rooms were, our last stop was outside his bedroom door. He froze for a second before opening it.I walked in and looked around. It was covered in posters and pictures of his family. He stood at the door watching me look around. I jumped on his bed and laid there looking at the fan. Harry walked in and closed the door before joining me.

"So what do you think now that you've seen the whole place?"

"I love it! I wish my house was like this." I said. Harry had turned onto his side to face me. I waited a few minutes before turning to face him. We laid there facing each other and looking into each others eyes. I decided to get up and go join the others but was stopped by Harry. He stood up and looked down at me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and stared into my eyes. I pulled away when someone opened the door.

"Oh, there you two are.. I hope I'm not interrupting anything." Niall said walking in.

"Nope nothing at all, I was just getting ready to head downstairs. I walked out with Niall just leaving Harry standing there alone again. When I got downstairs and joined the group I checked my phone to see Harry had posted on twitter.

"She's left me standing alone twice now.... I'm confused."
