Melly’s POV

My phone rang, waking me up, I lazily snatched it off my nightstand, answering groggily, “Hello?” I mumbled.

“Mellissa! How are you?” Louis’ voice shouted.

“Shut up Lou.” I whined.

“But I wanted to talk to you!” He protested.

“Louis, it is five in the morning, I was sleeping.”

“Where is Harry?” Louis asked, ignoring my comment.

“Right next to me, why?”

“HA! I told you they had a thing!” I heard Louis tell someone in the room with him.

“Louis shut the hell up.” Niall’s voice snapped in the background. I giggled lightly.

“Melly, you two need to kiss, hook up, and have beautiful babies.” Louis stated. My eyes bugged out of my head as I accidentally rolled off the bed in shock that he had even suggested that. I landed with a thump. “Are you okay?”

“Louis!” I snapped. Harry was now awake, peering curiously over the edge of the bed.

“Who are you talking to, babe?” Harry asked me, rubbing his eyes tiredly.

“Your stupid best friend.” I said, frowning.

“I heard that!” Louis shouted.

“Good, asshole.” I grumbled.

“Here, let me talk to him.” Harry reached for my phone and Louis cheered on the other end. Harry took one look at my phone and hung up, turning it off. “That’s how you deal with Louis, you just hang up.” He said, then rolled over, snuggling back into the blankets.

“Hey! Give me some of those.” I whined, tugging at the heavy fabric.

“No.” He said, smiling slightly.

“Harry I hate you sometimes.” I huffed, crawling in bed next to him with no covers. He rolled back over, covering me with his arm and the blankets.

“See? All better, you get me and the blankets. Double whammy. But realistically all you would need is me since I’m so hot.” I snorted, closing my eyes. “Shut up! Don’t make fun of me.”

“I didn’t say anything.” I replied smugly.

“But you were thinking it.”

“That still doesn’t count. Goodnight, Harry.” I said, closing my eyes.

“Night, Melly.” I fell back asleep with a smile on my face.

I woke up the next morning to Harry excitedly hopping on the bed.

“Jesus, Harry! What the hell is up with you?!” I exclaimed.

“We’re going to go visit your mum and my mum today for the holidays! Pack a bag, we leave in an hour to get to the airport.” I groaned, burying my face into my pillow.  “Get up, sleepyhead!” He shouted. I swiped at his legs, knocking him over, but my plan backfired. He landed on top of me with an “oomf.”

“Dammit.” I groaned once again, pushing his heavy body off of me. “If you don’t get off I can’t pack and then we’re going to be late.” I reminded him, causing him to scramble off me. I sighed, standing up and getting packed. A half an hour later, I dragged my bag out of my room and downstairs.

“Hey! Okay, here is a peanut butter and chocolate sandwich, your favorite. We gotta go so we’re not late!” Harry handed me the sandwich then pushed the two of us out the door, shutting and locking it behind us as we rushed downstairs and into a taxi.

A plane ride and a train ride later we were in Holmes Chapel, staring down the familiar town as we stepped off the train.

“Well, here we are.” I said, taking a deep breath. It felt great to be home. “Does Mom know we’re here?” I asked.

“No. It’s a surprise.” Harry said, taking my hand and pulling us along.

We walked the short distance to our houses, carting our suitcases behind us as we trekked. We stopped walking in front of my house, staring up at the windows.

“I don’t think anyone is home, Harry.” I said, knocking on the door lightly. No one answered.

“You can come over to mine.” He said, pulling me towards his front door, where he knocked loudly.

“Who is here at this time at- Harry!” His mum Anne exclaimed. “And Mellissa! Oh my what a wonderful surprise! Come in! Come in!” She pulled the two of us into the house. “Gemma!” Gemma came running down the stairs and ran into Harry’s arms, beaming widely.

“Oh, I missed you!” She gushed. “Hi Melissa.” Gemma said, looking at me cautiously, wondering if I would speak to her.

“Hey, Gemma.” I smiled. She shrieked with joy before engulfing me in a large hug.

“Oh, Melly I missed you so much! I’m glad you came back to us. I was so worried and you would talk and all those horrid things. I missed the happy Melly and here she is!” She exclaimed.“I can’t believe that you forgot about her!” Gemma turned and scolded Harry, smacking his arm roughly.

“Hey!” He exclaimed.

“Do you know how upset she was?” Smack. “How hurt?” Smack. “How lonely?” Smack. “You left her all alone. She wouldn’t talk to anyone!” Smack. “Harry, how could you?!” She finished weakly.

Harry looked flustered. “I know, will you quit hitting me?!” He said. “We’ve gotten past that because all that matters is that we’re together again now stronger than ever.”

Gemma took a deep breath, regaining her composure. “I am happy, but know that if you hurt her, you’re not welcome in this household ever again.”

“I feel like your loyalty is with Melly and not me, your own brother.”

“You’re a boy.” She stated. “Girls stick with girls.” She smirked, slinging her arm around my shoulders.

“I cant believe you’re ganging up on me.”

“Get used to it, Harry.” Gemma grinned before dragging me upstairs into her room.

Sorry for the lack of updates, I’ve been quite busy. Hope you’re all doing well!
