kik messages: luke and Nick

Louis is typing...

L: Nick do you wanna Skype?

Nick is typing...

N: not doing anything anyway

Nick

After my Skype call with Louis (in which he told me that he and Liam accidentally had bathroom s*x in front of an unknowing little girl in the family bathroom) I turned on the TV and the first thing that popped on was E!News.

I didn't really pay attention until they mentioned Harper's name. I lifted my head from my phone and pulled out one of the earphones that was blasting Linkin Park.

"Yes, rising celebrity Harper O'Neil was spotted with his girlfriend and inspiration Eleanor Calder today! Aren't they cute? Even the PDA is making me coo!"

My eyes widened as a couple pictures of Harper and this brunette bimbo kissing popped up. Oh my f*****g god.

Tears filled my eyes and my breakfast rose up in my throat. I grabbed the garbage can next to my bed and vomited everything that was in my stomach.

Once there was nothing left, I reached over and shut off the TV weakly.

Why didn't he tell me he would actually be doing...things with her?

Harper

Nick is sitting in our room with his head in the pillows when I come in.

"Nick? Are you alright?"

His head didn't move from the pillows and I became concerned. What's wrong with him?

"Babe?"

He pointed at a slip of paper on the desk and I reached for it, opening it quickly.

I'm going back to the UK.

Harper

"Why?! Why the hell would you say that Nick? What's wrong?!"

His head finally lifted from the pile of pillows and he looked at me, his brows furrowed and furious written all over his face. He angrily picked up his notebook and began to write. I waited anxiously for him.

Why didn't you tell me about the date? With, Eleanor or whoever huh? Did it not matter to tell me? Am I not important anymore?

"Nick I don't know what you're talking about."

What the hell Harper?! I WATCH TV TOO.

"Nick I didn't tell you because I didn't want this happening," I groaned.

I'm going back. It was a bad idea for me to join you. Have fun.

Nick got up from the bed but I grabbed his wrist and pulled him back.

"No." I said sternly. Nick furrowed his brows again and got up.

"For f***s sake Nick!" I exclaimed, Do you know how different this--"

I jumped on top of Nick and mushed our lips together. Nick gave in eventually, he and I both sloppily kissing and swirling our tongues together.

"--is from this?"

I gave Nick the quick peck I gave Eleanor today.

His face was red and sweating as he stared at me.

"They wanted a kiss Nick. Doesn't mean I'm giving her our kisses."

He rose up and kissed my swollen lips again.

"Don't leave."

He nodded and kissed me harder.

The night ended with s*x on the bathroom counter. So close to shower s*x, but so far.

"Louis and Liam are coming?! Oh god this is great!" Harper cheered, "now I have all of you here!"

He scooped me up bridal style and kissed my lips.

Nick

The day Louis and Liam arrived was a good day.

"Nick!"

I woke up to Louis screaming my name in my ear. I flinched and jumped out of bed, falling out almost immediately.

"Lou my god he just woke up!"

"No, I woke him up. So he didn't just wake up."

"Yes he did."

"Does that mean we didn't just have s*x in your car?"

"Louis oh my god shut it."

"You and I both talked about how I'm not secluded about my s*x life."

"Jesus. Did you tell them--"

"About the family bathroom of course I'd tell Nick!"

Liam's face turned red and I smiled smugly at the two of them. We're all s*x addicts at the current time.

Harper rolled over from the other side of the bed and helped me up. He kissed me and smirked before getting up from the sheets.

"Liam, bro it's nice to see ya."

Liam and Harper fist bumped and he pushed Louis.

"Excuse me, that is not how you treat your ruler."

"Exactly, you're not."

Harper and Louis hug before he faces me.

"How about breakfast?"

texts: luke & Harper - morning

L: you're doing it.

H: doing what?

L: Harper you're f*****g up your relationship Nick called us here because he's worried about you and him.

H: i didn't do anything, this stupid girl is my beard, if i have to go out and kiss her it's my JOB. Nick is my one and only. he doesn't believe me.

L: Harper if you screw up this beautiful thing you've created for yourself, i will never forgive you.

H: why do you care so much?

L: i thought we were best friends?

H: we are...

L: you shouldn't be questioning it. don't f**k up.

Harper

Louis shoved his phone in his pocket and gave me a small glare as Liam told Nick stupid jokes (that's my thing!).

Louis was wrong. I wasn't going to mess up our relationship. In fact, I'll work hard to make it better, although love should be effortless.

magazine article #1

Harper O'Neil: WHO IS HE?

Whether this is another Justin Bieber or One Direction, British-born singer Harper O'Neil is making his mark on the music world. His EP Love I've Perfected is quickly making it's way up the charts. Right now, it's marked as #2 on the Billboard Top 100. The EP was said to be inspired by his girlfriend for a year, Eleanor Calder. Calder was once involved with One Direction member Luke Hemmings.

Now moving on to Harper, she and him have seemed to discover new love. Or have they? Harper and El's relationship seems super faux. You can see it in his eyes that he probably isn't even interested in the girl. As journalists we aren't convinced.

So for now, who is the real inspiration? Eleanor, or is there something missing from the equation?

More on Harper O'Neil soon!
