Harry's POV
I slowly turn mt head to see who caught us. It's ...Eleanor? What the-? Not at all who I expected! What is she doing?
"Why are you here?" I asks as politely as I can but she hurt my best mate! What am I supposed to do?
"Why are you kissing your sister!?" She shouts.
"Step-sister," Callie clears her throat and a slight blush appears on her cheeks.
"Whatever. Are you two...?" She trails off.
"Yes," I say. Shouldn't she know this? I thought the whole school knew.
"WHY DOES EVERYONE HAVE SOMEONE TO LOVE BUT ME?!" She shouts at the cealing. That's not what shocked me though. What shocked me, was that Callie walked over to Eleanor and stsrted to comfort her as she crumpled to the floor.
"It'll be okay. I am sure there someone out there for you," Callie says. Eleanor sniffs and looks up.
"But he has a girlfriend," She replies.
"Who?" I ask.
"Well, " She says looking at me. "I don't wanna say. But he is just so sweet, and protective, and smart, and talented. I don't know. Niall just has something about him..." She trails off, not realizing that she said his name. Shock comes to her facial expression when she realizes what she said.
S"You know he doesn't have a girlfriend right?" I ask her.
"But he is always hanging out with that girl, what's her name? Amy?" Eleanor tells me. She wipes tears from her cheeks as Callie rubs her back like they are sisters.
"Amy? You mean hius cousin who just moved here two days ago?" I question.
"Y-yeah. I guess" She looks emarrassed. We all chuckle at that before I speak.
"The reason he is always with Amy is because she doesn't know wheere anyhing is and she doesn't have many friends. Niall's Mum told him to stay with her so she doesn't get lost." I explain.
"Oh. Well, he still won't like me. I am probably an enemy to him. I went out with one of his band mates." She says.
"Yeah. You went out with my BEST MATE!" I exclaim, not too harsh but I had to get this all off my chest. "You hurt him, broke him. But him being the amazing friend and nice person he is forgave you." He skipped right over the revenge stage in the breakup. "He put on a brave face and acts like nothing hurts him. Now. maybe Niall won't hold a grudge. Try it," I suggest. I notice tears in her eyes and I apolagize.
"Don't. Everything you said is true. I need to say sorry to Louis and his friends and maybe become friends with Niall. Then, maybe I can see if I really like him..." She rails off. "Well, I should go."
Callie and I help her up and she thanks us before walking out the door.

Callie's POV
"Well. That certainly was interesting," I say to Harry. He smiles and nods. He looks so amazing when he smiles.
"Thank you," He says.
"For what?" I ask.I honestly do not know what he is thanking me for.
"Helping with Eleanor. I know you don't really like her-"
"The only reason I don't like her is because he hurt our friend, but if he is over it then I guess there is no reason to not like her. She seems nice sort of..."I say.
"She is...once she comes out of her shy shell..then she can also be conceeded." Harry tells me. "But, I don't know if Niall will like her. And I don't want anyone else to get hurt. Louis crying was..." He trails off with tears in his eyes. I know Louis and Harry are practically brothers. If something happens to a sibling, I know it hurts. I cried when my ex-stepbrother broke his leg. He wasn't even my step then. I know how hard it is. I pull Harry into a hug as a choked sob escapes his lips. He wraps his arms around my waist.
" It's okay..." I say. He nods, his curly hair brushing my ear and cheek.
"Is it alright if we have him over tomorrow? He asked this morning when I talked to him on the phone." Harry says.
"Of course. I love having him over." I smile, though he can't see it wth his head burried into y neck.
******************************************************************
The next day, Louis arrives in the afternoon. Harry hugs him before looking at me.
"I have to go meet Gemma somewhere. She is bringing me something. Stay with Louis okay?" Harry smiles. I nod skeptically. Where is he going that he can't take me with him.
"Bye," Louis and I say and Harry waves, walking out the door. I notice them smirk at eachother before the door closes.
"Do you know where he is gong?" I ask him.
"Yeah, but it is a surprise for you." He winks. "I am hungry. Let's have lunch."
I brush the awkwardness off and follow him into the kitchen.
After lunch, we watch a movie called Pitch Perfect. Harry still isn't back.
"What is taking him so long?" I ask.
"He had to travel.." Louis says. "What do we do now?"
"Wash my dad's car." I say. I am so bored. I would do anything. The anxiety is killing me.
"Okay."
We get rags, sponges, buckets, and soap. We fill the buckets up with soap and water and let the sponges and rags soak, leaving a few towels out for drying it off. We pull the water hose around. We wash the sides and tires before Louis climbs on top. I decide to make it fun, so I spray him with the hose. He yells playfully and squeezes the soapy sponge out on my head. I gasp and throw the bucket of water and soap at him. He shoves the rag in my face and I end it.
"Okay. Enough. The car is clean and so are we. Lets go inside,"we laugh as we walk insode. We dry off with towels and decide to play cards at the table so the furniture doesn't get wet and we want to wait for Harry to get back before getting showers.
"Do you have any 5's" Louis asks.
"Hmmm..." I look over my cards. "Nope."
"You have to say Go Fish." Louis reminds me for the thirtieth time.
"Sorry. Go Fish, I say. He grabs another card.
"Do you have any-"I am cut off by Louis' phone ringing. He looks at the ID and his face pales. He drops the cards and answers.
"Hello?" I can't hear the person on the other end. "Yes..yes..okay..where..okay..thank you." Louis has a few tears in his eyes when he hangs up. He looks at me before rushing around the house. He grabs our jackets and puts mine on for me. He looks down at me and the tears explode. Seeing him like this makes me cry for some reason. Tears stream down our faces and he wraps me in a brotherly hug. After a few seconds we pull away.
"Louis, who was that?" I ask.
"Hospital." He says simply.
"Who were they..calling about?" I ask. My throat is thick. I already know the answer.
"Him."
I feel my knees hit the floor and then, darkness. I know Louis is carrying me but I can't wake up. I know I am in a car and we are moving but I can't open my eyes.
I see flashes. Like a kaleidiscope of memories and scnes in my head, one right after another. I remember them all. When I first saw Harry in the library, when he fought those guys for me, when he held m during storms, when he kissed me.It ll comes back. The last thing I see, is him walking out the soor and everything is black again. Now only one word is repeating itself in my head. The word Louis said before I passed out. HIM...HIM...HIM...HIM. I love him. I want him. I need him. I would die for him. I cannot lose him. HIM HIM HIM!
I hear Louis talking but I cannot see. He lifts me out of the car and we move as he walks with me in his arms. I hear muffles noises, chattering, elevator beeps, footsteps, sobs, and a loud sigh. I cannot tell if it was a sad sigh or a happy sigh. I come to and look at Louis. He still has me in his arms and I realise it was him that sighed. He has tears streaming down his face and I notice my surroundings. The hospital. I look back at Louis.He is crying. No No No..this is not happening. He is not crying because.. I can't even say it. I notice a doctor by us.
"Thank you for telling us," Louis says. More tears. WHY?!
