Natalie's POV

Naomi had left our apartment ...well technically Grant's apartment two days ago claiming work emergency, she never called, just texted stating that she needed to shift to staff quarters of the Ostroff centre, because they have a high profile case, and Ostroff didn't want to lose the case on Confidentiality issues.

Naomi's  POV

I lied to Nat, I had to, or else Harry would not have let me treat him. His condition was worsening day by day.. although his attitude was never dying. Life with these three idiots was not easy. It had only been two days. But it felt like months, of being trapped with monkeys.

"How are you feeling today?"

"Same as yesterday." He replied smirking. God if I could just wipe of that smirk of his face.

"He does not  want to eat breakfast instead he is insisting on more liquor." Niall informed.

"Well if he wants to die, he could do that."

"You can't stop me from drinking, I am Harry Styles."

"Blah, blah , blah, ba blah. Have heard you say that like a million times now. Could you shut up."

"Naomi you are telling a dying man to shut up ... that's rude." He said with his puppy dog face, looking down on the floor.

I know , I know it was rude of me... but he was getting on my nerves. I didn't want to be complacent towards his condition hence I apologized.

"I'm sorry ...I didn't mean too.",
that's it , he was waiting for that reaction...that's when he starts laughing throwing his head off like a child.

"Does this mean I could get some liquor then. Dr Naomi."

" Over my dead body Styles. Now stop irritating me."

"Or what? Doc...."

"I'm sending you to your room."

"Heh, I'm a grown man. You actually think, these petty behaviours are enough, to stop me from wanting what I want, getting what I need, who are you my mother."

"Oh don't test me, son."

"Really what are you gonna do, huh..... let me tell you something, you're nothing but a scared little child whose trying to trick me into listening to you and stop hurting myself, when the truth is I learn from the best Naomi, you."

"Whatever do you mean."

"You see you are a doctor in her early twenties pushing herself to be so focused into medicine when you should be partying ."

"Not everyone has a one track mind unlike you of course."

"Surely, but deep deep down you're still that sophomore girl whose sister left her to go to London to pursue her future,while you were stuck there in the same environment, you're still the girl whose best friend turned lover hurt her so deep that you still haven't been able to recover yet, and deep deep deep down you're still that scared little girl who keeps getting abandoned."

"ROOM NOW."

"After such a wonderful monologue, I'd be honoured ."

I was done for the day, that was just the limit to what I could intake, and I'd have enough. Sometimes I missed the old days, the old sweet Bradley Cooper.

Past

Both Nat and myself were getting ready to celebrate, Noah and Gemma's engagement.So clearly all six of us, Noah, Gem, Harry,Nat, Niall and myself were supposed to be ready by six .

I noticed that Nat was not talking, I mean I usually do all the talking but she was awfully quite.

"Did you have your first fight today?" I poked her.

"What? Noh." She smiled at me.

"Then?"

"I was thinking...."

"Thinking what???"

"I guess I want to take a sabbatical for a year, and join Princeton next year."

What? Is she out of her mind.. Mother is gonna kills her, like literally. And this girl is madly in love. I have to fix it.

"No."

"No?"

"I mean, see guys are gonna come and go, and I know you have deep feelings for Harry, and you think he is the one and everything but, you are thinking of not going to Princeton this year and take a break but I'm sure next year after spending a whole one with Harry you will not be able to think about living a day without him let alone go to Princeton."

"No Naomi you don't understand."

"No Nat I do, trust me."

She paused, and looked at her reflection in the mirror. I knew what she felt, like riding two horses at once. On one hand there was Harry, and on the other there was her future.
She had to choose one and move on. I grabbed her shoulders slowly massaging them.

"But you gotta get ready now, cause there's  a full possibility that the boys are gonna leave us ."

"I'm ready." I informed her.

"You sure you aren't the one whose engaged?"

"Please, like you're the one to talk." She was looking gorgeous in her black short dress, for the first time she was wearing a sleeveless dress, and was a bit concerned.

"Excuse me ."

"You look hot Nat."

"Mind your words lady, I'm spoken for."

"Wow I don't have a comeback for this one."

We laughed . Things were always easy when it was just us both, God I am gonna miss her when she goes to Princeton.

In the car

"How are we going to be allowed in again bhai ?" I poked Noah.

"You're questioning my abilities and contacts sister?"

"No, I'm questioning your morality and Nat's nervousness."

"You want your brother to have both the morality and a big enough heart to take his sisters to a pub with their boyfriends."

"Yeah right, Nat behave."

Noah had known the owner of the pub since his college days. They studied Management together, hence we got to enter the pub even though bring underaged.

We entered the lobby, the hostess escorted us underground to the pub, one of the bouncers stamped us with the sign of the club on our right wrists.
Noah led us to the VIP section, dude bhai must know the owner pretty well, to get us to VIP. Once we settled I screamed.

"I wanna do body shots."

"We'll wait till you're legally allowed to that heh babe?" Niall intertwined.
Umm I think Not.

"You guys are calling each other babe now?" Harry chuckled.

"Why don't you?" I retorted.

"Harry, what kind of drunk are you?" Noah questioned.

"Terrible, I'm a sarcastic, narcissistic, completely ruthless kind of drunk."

"So I guess you aren't drinking today." Gemma questioned.

"Nope. Also I'm driving ."

"Good thing, Nat there's always a first time drink." Gemma requested.

She looked at Noah.

"What you're looking at me for?" He quizzed.

"You're the head...." She smiled.

"She's the neck, sister."

"Yes Nat drink."

"Drink."

"Drink."

"Drink."

She started drinking, without a fear of what is gonna happen next.

Harry's pov

Nat started drinking.

"It isn't that bad."

"Here take another." Naomi have her another.

She drank

Again

Again

Again

"Ok let's get shots for everyone." Natalie announced.

"That's enough for the day hon."

"See, Naomi he calls me hon." She said almost climbing on top of me.

"I told you he would." Naomi said.
Where is Noah and Gemma when you need them.
Natalie on the other hand, was getting wilder, I guess she is a reckless drunk then. Note to self never let Nat drink alone. Before I could process anything , Natalie started grinding me, Kissing my neck.
At a continuous pace .Not now Nat, Not now.

"Get down babe please."

"Why???? I'm having fun."She replied looking at me with those big brown eyes. I take her and put her down beside me.

"Money, blondie." Niall gave Naomi fifty bucks.

"You guys betting on us."

"No we bet on the number of drinks after which she keeps  standing."

"And how much is that's."

"Fifteen drinks."

Jesus, fifteen drinks for someone who is drinking first time that's too much. Ok where is she now, she was just sitting beside me.
"Where is Nat?"

"There she goes." Naomi pointed towards the stage.

"I'm gonna follow her by the way  where's Noah and gem."

"Washroom."

"Together?"

"Yep." Naomi said slurping on her not so virgin mojito.

"At least she needs to get drunk. Naomi she doesn't even need that." Niall replied.

"She's this wild."

"Worse. Youngest in lineage worst in deeds."

"I need to handle her."
I run towards the stage , towards Natalie, she already has a microphone in her hand.

"Nat babe ."

"Harry sing with me." Nat announces in the microphone.

"Harry , Harry."
All the crowd join her in chanting my name. 'Harry, Harry.'
"Babe we can't really do a duet here." "We can , Cmon."

"Summer lovin happened so fast.

I met a boy crazy for me." Nat chimed.

"Woaaahhhhg that's my sister ." Naomi said standing on her seat, almost about to fall off when  Niall caught her.

"I met a girl cute as can be ."

We sang the whole song together before she passed out.  Ok this a problem.

"Noah we got a problem, Nat passed out?"

"Yeah ."

"How much did she drink."

"Fifteen shots  give or take ."

"Hahahahahaha. Give me the money peters ."Gemma chuckles.

"You guys are mean."

"My sister is a survivor, I'm happy to loose."

We collectively decided that none of us can be under the two block radius of the Peters residence. So we stayed at our place.

Noah and Gemma went in Gemma's room. Naomi and Niall scooched in the couch. I took Nat upstairs, in my room.

I tucked her in my bed.

She looked so peaceful in the position. She was all curled up and was holding my hand strong and I sat there just admiring her. Cause my whole world had stopped. Her presence was enough to do that. She was amazing .

She was mine.
