I stood at the entrance of the Chuck E. Cheese near Sam. We had to go through a line to get our hands stamped with a glow in the dark stamp, for unknown reasons. I was also 90% sure we were supposed to have a child with us to be able to enter here and the play area. But they let us through anyways, and I was in no position to complain.

As always the boys were stuck ordering and preparing everything for us. It was always how things went- for gods sake I practically force Zayn order for me at McDonalds. Lara stayed with them to supervise as the rest of us trailed down to the other side of the play area to find a table.

We needed one of the party size tables since there were so many of us. Everywhere we went it just screamed 'tourists' or 'obnoxious teenage group'. Both of which were truer than true. "I haven't been to one of these in years." Annabelle gazed around the place.

"Probably because we're too old for this?" Kassidy rolled her eyes, adjusting her feet so they were on the table.

"You came along, didn't you?" Aurora hicupped.

"I did." A smirk played across Kassidy's face as she nodded in agreement. Aurora nodded once and crossed her hands on the table. It was clear that Kassidy made her nervous, since she was of course one of the most innocent and sweetest girls here.

The boys came over to the table with heaps of cups stacked in their hands. "Root beer?" Harry turned to me as he handed a cup to someone else. I nodded a few times.

"She's a big girl." Annabelle sweetly gestured, standing up from her chair. She leaned a bit closer to me to nonchalantly whisper in my ear, "At least that's what Andres says." With a quick shrug and shrill laugh, she pranced down to the fountain drinks.

Harry wasn't phased at all, because he didn't hear her, and he continued on to get my drink. "I like to think of Niall as my little waiter sometimes." Marina shrugged as she sat at the table too.

"Trevor's more of a personal slave, honestly." Sam added on.

"That's because you guys have them whipped." Zayn chuckled lowly. "Like Kaylee," he sighed, "that girl had me and Harry doing everything."

"Harry too?" my head cocked to the side.

"I'd be lying if I said I didn't know that they hooked up while I was with her." He nodded, "Then she practically did anything for both of us."

"You're telling me Mr. Curly-Haired-Bad-Joke-Telling-Changed-Entire-Life-For-Dani was even more of an asshole than we thought?" Marina started to burn with fury, growing angrier as she thought about it.

"Hey come on," I sighed heavily, "He had a rough time and before he had this glamorous life style with us amazing people as his friends he was a little rocky. I don't judge him though." I smiled at her, easing her up.

"Better if you don't," Zayn nodded in agreement, "He's not a bad guy. At all." His charming smile flashed us all. My mind traced back to the messages on my blog. They said Harry was just a bad guy looking for redemption, (practically). Yet here was someone who knows him so well, telling me that he wasn't a bad guy.

And who to believe? That was a no brainier. "Can you get me a Sprite Zayn?" Kassidy held out her cup for him. He grabbed it and walked off to fill it up as the rest of our huge group was coming back.

"I just need to get 30 tickets and we can get our 2 jelly bracelets." Lara stood above me, looking very determined.

"Then let's go!" I exclaimed as I hopped up from my seat. We raced down to the gaming area and placed some bills in the token machine. We each grabbed some and eagerly turned around to play the childish games.

"Excuse me, you can't be in this area. You're too old." One of the workers halted us. I scowled at him as he stood there.

"Yeah, excuse you." Lara rolled her eyes and walked around him. He grabbed her by the shoulder and pulled her back over.

"Please leave before we have to escort all of you out of here."

"I'm giving you assholes my money!" she shouted at him.

"What she means is," I calmly jumped in to ease the angry man. Lara was not doing a great job at keeping herself in here. "We already paid for these tokens, so just let us play." I used a fake pouty lip, "Pwease."

The man rolled his eyes and walked away. "Yes!" Lara and I exclaimed in unison, giving each other loud high fives. We roamed around, playing the most childish games. Each time, only getting the smallest amounts of tickets. These places were such rip-offs.

"Hey, woah, hello there." A boy who was probably not much older than me came behind me and tapped my shoulder as I played skee-ball.

"Hello." I smiled up at him, pulling my hair out of my face. I held the skee-ball ball between both of my hands as we spoke.

"I just uh," he smiled at me, fidgeting with his fingers, "Wow this is really crazy." he could hardly speak, only smile and force out small laughs.

He had tanned skin, as if he practically lived on the beach, and thick, black hair that was combed up. There were a few stitches above his eyebrow, too. He was somewhat handsome, I guess. I heard the pattering of feet coming closer to us.

"Let me just start with, hi, my name's Victor." He held his hand out to shake mine. I smiled out of curiosity and laughter as I grabbed his hand back.

"Woah buddy, back the fuck away from her." Louis separated our hands quickly, stepping between the two of us.

I stepped back awkwardly, a bit afraid by Louis reaction. Harry, Niall and Liam followed quickly behind him. "Hey now, I just want to talk to her." He spoke to Louis calmly.

"What's going on?" I looked at Liam and Niall scaredly as Harry and Louis bantered with the guy.

"That's the guy that Harry got into the fight with." Liam leaned closer to me.

"That's the guy?" I shrieked loudly. "You better listen here god damnit!" I pushed between Louis and Harry, my inner protectiveness over Harry shining through, "You're an asshole and if you ever try and hurt my baby again I swear to god I will chop off your-"

Harry's hand slapped over my mouth before I could even get to the good part of my rant. His arm crossed over my stomach as he lifted me up and pulled me away from the boy. "Calm down." Victor chuckled nervously.

"Look man, sorry about your eye but it's healing up pretty nicely." He gestured towards Harry, who touched his almost vanished black eye. "I mean, I had to get stitches and my chest is pretty bruised up. But hey, we were all pretty drunk that night, eh?" he cracked a smile.

I calmed down and looked at the floor, remembering that whatever happened was supposedly my fault in the first place. "I just wanted to thank your little girlfriend." He looked up at Harry.

My boys were still surrounding me as he thanked me. I was more than a bit confused. "I took your advice and it turns out you were right. I am gay." He embarrassedly smiled.

"Oh my god!" Niall erupted into a giant fit of laughter, bending over to smack his legs in the process.

"Dude, could you even sit the day after that?" Louis eyes went wide in horror.

"I think she was being sarcastic." Liam pondered for a moment. I didn't know what they were talking about, but I was too afraid to ask.

"Well I'm glad that things worked out for you." I chimed up at him, stepping forward to give him a hug. Discovering that about yourself was a huge step to make and I was very proud.

He introduced me to his boyfriend and his boyfriends nephew after that. Then we all gathered to eat pizza as Lara stared angrily at the ticket stand. They didn't accept her tickets because she was too old.

"I hate this place." She pouted angrily.

"What did I even say to that guy?" I pondered loudly.

"Who orders a salad instead of pizza you pretentious bastard?" Kassidy yelled at Annabelle.

"I'm pretty sure cheese has like, zero calories." Niall explained slowly to Marina.

"As drake once said, South Ah-mur-eek-uh!" Trevor gladly announced to Sam.

"There's a New Jersey?" Sam disregarded Trevor by using her own Drake and Josh quote. Those two were interesting boys to have in English class...

"I'm surrounded by idiots." Louis groaned, complaining just the same as Lara was.

"That guy told you he wasn't gay because he doesn't like dicks up his ass and you told him that's because he never tried it." Harry whispered to me, catching me off guard as I listened amongst the crowd of random conversations between us.

"Oh boy." I gulped to myself, becoming very aware of what that boy had just admitted to me.

* * *

"That doesn't anger you at all?" Liam sighed to me, looking at Annabelle flirt it up with Harry once again. I looked at them, then back up at Liam.

"Nope. I'm completely stable." I rolled my eyes. He pulled my head closer to him, letting me lean on his shoulder. His arm came around me and stroked me softly.

Lara was arguing with the ticket manager, Louis was sitting with Aurora outside, Niall and Zayn were about to be kicked out because they were riding on the small rides for the kids. Everyone was randomly all about, and I was sitting here with Liam.

We hadn't talked in so long. Well, we talked every single day. But not the way we used to. Liam used to be my number 1, tied with Niall. Now he was just a person in my mass of closest friends. Funny how things change so much in a year.

"Jesus Christ I'm going to kill him Dani. I'm going to kill him for you." Liam muttered angrily. I turned me head off of him and looked over as Harry stood behind Annabelle.

He was messing with a necklace, trying to tie or clip it behind her neck. "She should just start a damn necklace collection." I grunted.

"Do you think she stole yours?" he asked me.

"Oh, without a doubt." I nodded back to him.

"I'll do my best to investigate." He squeezed my arm tightly, chuckling the slightest bit.

"You're going to investigate for me?" I laughed obnoxiously as I laid back down on his shoulder.

"I don't like her. You don't like her. Harry likes her. There's something we're missing.."

"We don't like pretty girls?"

"Shut up." He chuckled, "I like you." He gestured.

"How ugly must I be?" I teased him, covering my face with a sprawled hand. He laughed along with me.

"Absolutely hideous Dannica." He mocked me back.

"I just wanna be pretty like you." I reached up and touched his face. The stubble on his chin scratched at me, "Ew nevermind." We both bursted into laughter
