All Night – Icona Pop (I'll let you know when to play it)

"If only I got my hands on them... I would have inverted their rib cages and harvested their toes!"

Well... Cara found out about the break in. I still had slight bruising on my face which she asked about as soon as she stepped foot into Harry's house. Apparently, Niall didn't tell her about what happened with the intruders and from the way she is freaking out right now, I can understand why.

"Just wait till I get home and get my hands on Niall! I am going to strangle him!" She rants, throwing her hands in the air as she paces in front of where I am sat on the couch.

"Didn't know Niall is into that kind of stuff Cara..." Zendaya jokes.

Harry thought it was best if we had a girl's night tonight. He's working with the guys and didn't want me to be alone, I'm very grateful for his idea after my little breakdown. I've missed the girl's, it's been a long time since I've seen them.

Margot wasn't invited tonight.

"He's—why would I know about that?" Cara asks Zendaya, causing Hailee and I to burst out laughing.

She really is clueless about her feelings for him.

Did I mention, we're all drunk right now. We've been drinking since the boys left which was about four hours ago. I've lost count on how many drinks we have had. I'm not as drunk as what I was in Vegas but I'm on the road to getting there.

"Notice how you called it home?" Hailee adds, teasing Cara. I lean forward and grab the bottle of gin that is sat on the coffee table, pouring some into all of our glasses. I might have spilled some on Harry's carpet but it's not like he can't afford to buy a new one.

"Fuck off." Cara grumbles, pouting over dramatically. "You guys are always bullying me..."

"It's only because we love you." I add, handing everyone their new drinks.

"Whatever you say..." Cara mumbles, "So how's the new living arrangement Hailee?"

Hailee moved in with Zayn and Zendaya after the whole incident with Liam happened. Apparently, the boys played rock-paper-scissors and whoever lost had to let Hailee move in. It was a loss for Zayn but a gain for Zendaya.

"I love it! It's amazing. No more living with that asshole and I get to hang out with Zen all the time. What's not to love?" Hailee explains, slurring her words slightly.

"Aw, I love you!" Zendaya mutters, leaning to her side to give Hailee a side hug.

I guess we are all soppy drunks since we end up in a squished doggy pile on the couch, all of us trying to hug each other at the same time. After some complaints of someone's elbow in someone's boob, we all retreat and sit back in our seats.

I want to tell them about what I told Harry last week after my breakdown. I want to be honest with them and tell them everything but I'm just not ready yet. It's been a lot to process the fact that I told Harry, never mind telling three more people.

I hope one day I'm brave enough to tell them like how they told me about their past.

I give Zendaya and Hailee a look before I begin, "We like to drink with Cara..."

" 'cause Cara is our mate..." Zendaya joins. Cara groans and throws her hands to cover her face.

"And when we drink with Cara..." Hailee joins.

"She downs her drink in..." Cara gives a big sigh before uncovering her face, grabbing her drink in preparation.

"10... 9... 8..." Zendaya, Hailee and I all stop in shock. She downed her drink in three counts.

Cara wipes her mouth with the back of her hand, "That's right bitches!" She screams, jumping up and pumping her hands into the air.

We all laugh in unison and jump up to stand with Cara, cheering on her celebration. "Oh my gosh, I have the best idea!" Cara yells, causing us all to look at her in anticipation. Here we go... "We should go to the club so we can dance!"

Zendaya, Hailee and I all stare at each other silently before we break out with a 'yes' in unison.

"We can go in the golf cart; I even know how to drive it!" I state, causing us all to run in excitement to the garage where it is parked.

"Wait! Let me grab the bottle of shots!" Cara yells, stumbling over her feet as she runs back into the house to grab what seems like her most prized possession.

This is going to be good.

**********

I might have crashed the golf cart when parking it ... I forgot to press the brake and we hit the wall in the parking lot but it was an honest mistake. It could be worse, right?

We all stumble out of the cart, holding hands in a chain as we walk to the entrance. Cara walks ahead and leans her whole body on the door to push it open causing the loud music of the club hit our ears instantly, " 'm ladies..." she mutters, gesturing for us to enter the club. We all thank her, Hailee kissing her on her cheek, Zendaya kissing her hand and I kiss her other cheek.

Walking in together, hand in hand feels like one of those bad bitch moments in the movies. That's until Hailee trips over an abandoned shoe, causing her to fall. We all stop walking, taking in the sight of Hailee splayed across the floor. "Uhm, ow..." Hailee mumbles, sitting up with her hands holding her up behind her back.

Zendaya, Cara and I all burst out into fits of laughter. I lean on my knees, trying to take deep breaths between laughs. Zendaya leans backwards with her hand on her stomach, this makes her slip on someone's spilt drink, falling straight onto her back. Cara and I fall onto our knees, all four of us laughing in that kind of way where there is no sound is coming from us. We're all just smacking each other's legs, gasping for breath with tears in our eyes.

"What the fuck just happened!" Cara finally manages to form words, taking a deep breath, unfortunately breathing in some spit with her breath, making her choke.

I pat her back trying to help the poor girl as she's currently choking on her spit, tears falling down my face from laughing. My hand clenching my stomach as I rock back and forth, silently laughing until a wheeze comes out of me. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life.

After a couple more minutes of patting Cara's back, she catches her breath. "Let's get shots." Are the first words that come out of her mouth, causing me to fall into a fit of laughter yet again.

We all find our ways back to our feet, linking our hands again so we don't lose each other. Hailee analysing the floor the best she can, muttering something about 'looking out for mother fucker's shoes'.

Eventually we reach the bar, all of us leaning against it for support. "We will have eight tequila shots please!" Cara yells to the bartender over the load music that feels like is hitting my ear drums.

"Oh shit, we don't have any money!" I shout in realisation to Cara who gives me a devilish smirk in response.

"Incorrect information Lex." She states, lifting up a credit card. I turn my head to the side and squint to read the information on the front.

NIALL JAMES HORAN.

Before I can say anything else, the shot glasses are placed in a line in front of us on the bar top. The bartender grabs the bottle of tequila, pouring the alcohol from a distance above into the shot glasses skill fully, some of the alcohol pouring onto the bar top but that doesn't seem to concern anyone.

The bartender, puts a small plate with pieces of lemon placed in the middle. The girls and I grab our first shot along with a piece of lemon for the after math. "Take the first one and then the second one right after, then lemon!" Cara instructs to us all, we're all too drunk to even think about how bad of an idea it is.

Hailee counts down from three, all of us throwing our heads back, swallowing the first shot. My face contorting into discomfort from the taste and the burn that is filling my chest. I grab the second shot, throwing it into my mouth and swallowing as fast as I can. I shove the piece of lemon into my mouth, biting into it like my life depends on it, feeling the lemon juices fill my mouth and soothe my mouth from the foul taste that is tequila.

I fucking hate tequila.

*PLAY SONG NOW*

"This is my song, let's go dance!" Zendaya yells, dragging Hailee's hand. Cara and I run close behind, following them to the dance floor.

Zendaya squeezes through the huge crowd of people, allowing a gap for us to follow behind her. We reach the side of the dance floor, the inside swimming pool is now to our left. Hailee holds Cara's hands, running them upwards so that they are above them, moving their bodies to the beat of the song. Zendaya stands in front of me, dancing with her back to me. She runs her hands in her hair, moving her hips from side to side. I'm straight but Zendaya could be hot enough to turn me to women.

The song starts to pick up, all four of us making a circle so that we are all now facing each other, jumping to the fast beat. I close my eyes, the flashing of the white strobe light still reaching my eyes.

It's one of those moments that I talk about, where everything feels so perfect. I just want to stay in this moment, dancing with my best friends. I wish Harry was here.

We continue dancing together, now switching so that I am now dancing with Hailee and Cara is dancing with Zendaya. Hailee and I hold hands, dancing next to each other. Zendaya is now dancing in front of Cara, pointing her middle finger around jokingly, all of us laughing at her antics.

Before going back to her seductive dance moves, "Damn, you're hot girl!" Cara yells at Zendaya, making all of us laugh. At least I'm not the only one that thinks so... Zendaya turns around to face Cara, "Niall ain't got nothing on me!" Zendaya replies, kissing Cara on the cheek before turning back around and continuing her dancing.

"You got that right!" I yell in response.

"She couldn't beat Harry though could she Lex?" Hailee giggles, giving me a side smile.

"I don't know what you're talking—you know what? You're right! Harry is hot as fuck!" I admit, it's definitely the tequila talking now.

"Harry?" Cara asks, sounding confused.

"Yes, Harry!" I reply back.

"No, I mean Harry is here... all of them are." I stop dancing, looking at the girls whose gazes are focused behind me. I turn around slowly, my eyes falling to the booth that they are staring at that is on the other side of the swimming pool.

I see Zayn first, leaning with his back against the booth and arms crossed over his chest.

"I thought they were working?" I hear Hailee mutter to Zendaya from behind me.

I see Louis, who is talking to a man in a professional suit that I don't recognise.

"I don't understand, Niall didn't say that they were going to be here..." Cara adds.

I see Niall, sipping on his drink, talking to another man in a suit that I don't recognise.

"Oh, Lex..." Zendaya coos, putting her hand on my shoulder.

And that's when I see Harry.

My heart feels like it falls to the bottom of my chest. But not in the good way...

Because right now Stacey is sat on his lap with her arm thrown over his shoulder.

My hands ball into tight fists, my vision turning crimson.

Authors note:

Me to Harry right now:

Back to my cliffhanger antics *evil laugh*.

Sorry for the long wait, life has been very overwhelming recently. The next chapter will be out on Sunday, who's ready to see what Lexi does next? ;)

I love you all so much.

See you in the next one!
