5. Say the truth or keep the lie

(...)

The movie was almost over when I suddenly felt Alex's head slowly resting against my shoulder...I looked down and saw her sleeping against me. So many years dreaming about her, dreaming to feel her skin on mine again and here we were all these years later finally. I didn't even want to move, I breathed slowly to not wake her, unable to look away from her, looking more beautiful than ever I just stared at her until I fall asleep.

Harry's POV

I woke up to the light from the small round attic window hitting me in the eyes and as I yawned. I looked around and noticed that Alex was gone.

"Guy's ... Guy's!" - I called as I hit Cameron on the arm and gave Louis a light kick - "Where's Alex?" - I asked as they woke up and looked around.

"I don't know ..." - replied Liam looking around and dropping his head on the pillow again.

We got up and went looking for her. She wasn't in her room or in the bathroom so we headed downstairs to see if we could find her and as we started walking down the stairs I started listening to music coming from the kitchen. Our song 'One way or another' was playing. I rushed my step towards the kitchen and found her in front of the stove making pancakes while dancing happily singing along with the song. I stood there, leaning against the kitchen door, watching her enjoying herself as her beautiful voice sang over ours...until the boys appeared in the kitchen.

"Pancakes!" - said Niall, automatically going to the plate of pancakes to grab one, but she patted him on the hand, preventing him from getting one as Liam passed by giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"I'm loving having her back, she made breakfast!" - said Zayn sitting down at the table.

"Yeah ... she's the best...I missed her" - said Louis approaching and hugging her from behind and giving her a kiss on the cheek which caused an immediate reaction in me, looking at him a little pissed and cleaning my throat, realizing this he dropped her slowly away.

She was obviously overwelmed about all this but at the same time the smile on her face was the same as always, the same smile she used to have around us.

"I thought you weren't a fan" - I said, still leaning against the door looking at the radio where our music was still playing.

"That is not what I said ..." - she looked at me - "... besides that is a very well-known song and it's not really my fault that every single British radio station is playing your songs ..." - she concluded with an intense gaze fixed on me for a few long and silent seconds - "Let's eat ..." - she said picking up her pancake, heading to the table and sitting down as we did the same.
