Rachel's P.O.V.

"What's going on with you and Ashton?" She asked and suddenly I felt my whole body freeze.

"Uh w-what?" I stuttered.

She chuckled, raising her eyebrow at me.

"Oh c'mon Rach, your so obviously into him" she grinned widely, poking my side gently.

I sighed.
"Sky, I honestly don't know how I feel about him. I mean there could be a small chance that I might have the teeniest tiniest crush on him but I-" I began but she cut me off.

"Teeniest tiniest?" She interrupted, unconvincingly.

I rolled my eyes.

"But after everything that happened with Louis-"

"What exactly did happen with Louis?" She interrupted once again.

I continued as if she had said nothing "- I just don't know how I'd feel about a relationship. I mean not that I wouldn't want one, but what if Ashton doesn't? Or what if he does and we do get together and then things end badly and our friendship is ruined or what if it doesn't end badly but then we-"

Skylar's laugh cut me off. I gave her a confused look.

"Rach, you're way over-thinking things" she chuckled. "You like him, right?" .

I nodded.

"And he likes you" she continued.

I shrugged.

"I don't really know actually" I replied.

"That wasn't a question" she told me quickly.

I snorted.

"Right.." I mumbled as we got closer to the room.

"You know, I think I might just ask Ashton the same question and see where he is" she continued, more to herself than me.

My eyes widened.

"Skylar, you can't tell him what I said, okay?" I insisted, as I put my key in the door, unlocking it.

"Okay I won't tell Ashton that you-" she cut off suddenly as the door flew open to reveal Harry sitting on my bed chatting to Lizzie while Louis was lying on the floor, his head under my bed.

"Tell Ashton what?" Harry asked suspiciously before suddenly his jaw dropped in realisation that Skylar was here.
Louis made to sit up but banged his off of the underneath of my bed.

"You idiot!* I chuckled,quickly walking over to him and dropping to my knees as he sold out from under the bed.

" 'S not my fault. I just got a bit of a shock when Skylar walked in" he admitted, rubbing at his forehead that now had a pretty noticeable red spot.

"What are you doing here?" I asked as Skylar slowly walked over and sat on her bed, Harry still seeming frozen to his spot.

"Well Harry is coming to my house for Christmas this year so he wanted to drop off your present" Louis explained, nodding to the three gifts lying in the corner of the room.
I nodded, an awkward silence engulfing us. It was at least a minute before finally harry broke the silence. His voice cracking as he spoke the words:

"You're back"
