Harry's POV

I wake up on Sunday morning with the sun blaring through the window and into my eyes. I grab my phone that was on my bedside and turned it on to see the time.

8:32am

I decide to get up so I can have some time to relax before I go out with Tyler today. I go downstairs and nearly jump with excitement when I smell breakfast. I run downstairs and immediately hugged my mum who was just behind the stove cooking breakfast.

"Hey Harry," she said with her tired morning voice.

"What time did you come home last night?" I asked pretty concerned.

"I came home at 4am last night but it's nothing to worry about," my mum replied.

"Why are you awake then? You should be sleeping. Aren't you tired?"

"I'm fine Harry, I'll go back to bed when you and Gemma leave," she responded.

I give her a kiss on the cheek and wrap my arms around her. "I miss you."

"Me too sweetheart. Soon, I'll be able to work during the day and make it home by dinner."

"Okay," I said.

"Harry, get some plates out and go wake up Gemma," my mum said. I took out three plates and placed each of them on the counter beside the stove. While my mum is putting our breakfast into our plates, I run upstairs into Gemma rooms.

"Gem, wake up. Mum made breakfast," I said while gently rubbing her arm through the blanket. It took her a minute before she fully woke up.

"Mum's awake?" Gemma asked in a sleepy tone.

"Yeah, she made us breakfast. She said she's going back to bed when you and I leave the house later on."

"Okay, I'm coming," Gemma said. I took a step back giving her some space. We both walk down the stairs and I to the dinning room. My mum was sitting at the end of the table while I was sitting to left and Gemma to her right. Gemma gave my mum a kiss on the cheek and we all started eating.

"So Harry, how was your sleep over with Louis on Friday?" My mum asked before she took a bite of her omelet.

"It was fun, we had fun," I said.

"That's good, I hope I get to meet him soon. He sounds nice."

"He is mum," I said already feeling my cheeks heat up while talking about him.

"I'm glad you are making friends already. Who are you going to hang out with today?"

"His name is Tyler, he's in my music class. Tyler and I are just going to walk around the city."

"It sounds like a date H," Gemma said.

"It's not I promise."

"Okay, just make sure it stays platonic between you two," Gemma said.

"It will be Gemma, I'm not interested in dating anybody at the moment."

Gemma nods and we all continue to eat.

"How's school?" My mum asked after a minute of silence.

"It's good, the work is a bit hard," Gemma responded.

"Yeah me too," I said.

"Are you getting bullied at school?" My mum asked concerned. She understands that not everybody likes the idea of a boy wearing lipstick to school. I mean it happened at my old school.
