-Jasmine's POV-

I knocked on Harry's front door obnoxiously. Harry always does this to me.

The front door flung open revealing a grinning Harry. "Chill out, Jas. I heard you the first time,"he chuckled.

I smiled and hugged him. "Hey Haz, how are you?"

He led me inside as he said,"I'm good, thanks. And you?"

We sat at his kitchen island next to each other. I swivelled my chair around so I was facing him and replied,"I'm great, amazing actually."

Harry pointed out,"You have a huge smile on your face. Niall must be making you really happy."

I blushed, taking my N necklace into my hand. "Yeah, he does."

He nodded. "That's great. I'm so happy for you."

"Thanks Harry. Have you spoken to him lately?"

Harry's face faltered for a second before he answered. I knew he was about to lie. He mumbled,"Not really."

I narrowed my eyes at him. "What did you do?"

He chuckled lightly before pressing his lips into a fine line, thinking something over. "Okay, fine. I just... I told him not to break your heart." His eyes bore into mine, revealing an intense emotion.

I felt my mouth go dry. "Oh..."

He continued,"I also told him I got him positioned to have a shot with you in the first place so he better not hurt you."

Some things clicked in my mind. "That's why he doesn't want me to hang out with you,"I mumbled.

Harry looked at me with a surprised expression. "He said we couldn't hang out?"

"Well, not explicitly. But every time you call or I talk about you, he gets really weird. Even though I have assured him numerous times that we're just friends,"I explained.

He shook his head. "Niall has always been insecure. I don't know why but he compares himself to people a lot. Look Jas, as much as I love you, I love Niall the same amount. We've been through so much together. But Niall has always been childish with his relationships. He doesn't have the patience to carry out something long-term. That's why I worry."

I bit my lip, looking down. I haven't even thought about long-term. What if Niall falls out of love with me while I'm committed to him?

Harry placed his hand on my knee, pulling me out of my miserable thoughts. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you question everything,"he said.

I shook my head, letting out a forced laugh. "No, I was just thinking."

"I don't want to scare you. Niall's a great guy and I stand by that. I'm sorry if I'm planting seeds of doubt in your mind. That's not my intention. Niall loves you. We all see it,"Harry assured.

I smiled lightly. "I was so scared to admit that I love him. I knew it a while back, but I couldn't let those words fall out of my mouth. I needed some kind of proof, but one day I just knew I could say it. Something about him makes me fall so deeply in love."

"Wow, now I'm kind of jealous,"Harry joked.

I rolled my eyes and hit his leg. "Don't let Niall hear that. He wouldn't let you near me again."

Harry chuckled,"Noted."

We spent the next while watching TV and just enjoying each other's company. Harry is someone I can always just relax with. He makes me feel safe in every aspect.
