Lena's POV

"Not even close." Harry whispered.

He was so god damned close to my face.

Why didn't I pull away?

He kissed me.

I gasped against his mouth, but there was no denying the electricity I felt shooting through my veins at that moment.

Harry moaned-but not in a sexual way. He made a noise of relief. Like he'd been in pain for a long time and he was finally getting released from it.

His hands moved to my hips, and I let him touch me. I didn't pull away. Didn't want to. Which was bad. Somewhere along the road, Harry had hurt me. That was why Liam took him from me.

But it was so hard to care with Harry kissing me like I was the only thing keeping him alive.

Harry squeezed my hips and lifted me onto his lap. I didn't fight him, straddling his legs instead. I put my hands in his hair, kissing him harder.

I liked kissing him as much as he did me.

"Lena," he whispered as he moved his mouth to my neck. His hands slid underneath my shirt.

Justin's face flashed across my mind. I may be furious with him, may have left him, but we weren't officially over yet. It was wrong of me to do this. I still loved my fiancé.

I pulled away, with great difficulty.

"I'm sorry, I can't." I said.

Harry froze, still holding me.

"No. I'm sorry." He said.

I gently disengaged his hands and stood up. "I didn't come here for sex. Or even to kiss you." I said. "I just wanted to talk to someone who I knew wouldn't lie to me."

"I didn't think you did." He said. "Come here for sex, that is."

I nodded. At least he didn't think I was a whore.

"I should go." I said. "Liam's probably really worried, and I left Keira with Ashton."

"Go then. Call me, if you need me." Harry said, standing up.

I couldn't deny the fact that it hurt. He wanted me to leave?

I shook my head and turned. "Bye, Harry." I said.

I heard him hesitate. "Goodbye, Lena." He said.

I walked out the door, wishing he would stop me.

But I knew he wouldn't.

Justin's POV

"Justin? May I come in?" I heard at my bedroom door. I was sitting on the edge of my bed, fiddling with the ring Lena had left in my hand.

"Sure." I said.

Liam opened my door and stepped in.

"Lena's coming back." He said.

I looked up. "She is? Did you tell her?" I asked.

"No. I plan to tell her when she gets here. Ashton is coming-he and Calum are going to explain their part in all of this." He said.

"So I assume you'll need me to explain my part?" I asked.

He shook his head. "No. I made your part in this. I'll take care of it." He said.

I nodded. "I'll take care of Keira then." I said.

"And Leo. Cal and Ash don't have a sitter for him." Liam said.

"Let me guess: Kathryn and Niall are coming and bringing Blake, and you'll need me to watch him too?" I asked.

Liam stayed silent.

I sighed. "I'll take them to get pizza or something." I said.

"Thanks man." He said.

Lena's POV

I walked in the door to find One Direction and Ashton and Calum, along with Kathryn.

"Lena, we need to talk." Ash said.

"Where's our daughter?" I demanded.

"Justin took her and the other kids out for pizza. She's fine." Calum said.

I sighed and sat down as far away from them all.

"So, what do you want to know?" Liam asked.

"Everything you've lied to me about since the accident." I said.

"Okay. When you were in the accident, it was because you were incredibly upset about something. You drove when you shouldn't have, and were hit by an eighteen wheeler." My brother said.

"I know that!" I yelled. I was in no mood to be lied to again.

"Yes, Lena. But we told you we didn't know why you were upset." Ashton said.

"And the truth is we knew exactly why." Niall added.

"What is the truth?" I asked.

"Our parents aren't who I told you they were, Lena." Liam said. "They didn't love you. They never did, which is awful. But they treated your horribly. You were a singer, and named Stacey Kelley because Simon didn't want you to be famous for being my sister. They took that away from you. They told the world."

"You were destroyed because you thought your career was over." Kathryn said. "That's when you got in the car."

I sighed. "What else happened?" I asked.

"The person we're trying to keep from you is your adopted father." Liam said.

"My adopted father?" I asked.

"Lena, when you were two Mum and dad took us to the beach. They left you unattended and you were kidnapped. They took you to America and adopted you. They raised you until I found you when you were seventeen. You came to live with me because our parents couldn't take care of you." He said.

I sighed. "Why is my adopted father suddenly coming around? And why are you trying to keep me from him?" I asked.

"Because the woman who took you as a baby was the woman who raised you and was married to him. She did the same thing to Josh as well, but he went to live with another set of parents. Anyway, Miley-that was her name-tried to kill you and Josh. The police never proved that Jeff had anything to do with it, but I don't trust him. That's why we kept him from you. And as for why he's suddenly come around, its not sudden. He's been trying to get to you for awhile. He's just gotten awfully close lately." Liam explained.

"I want to see him." I said.

Ashton spoke up. "Lena, you don't want to do that." He said. "Jeff may or may not have been involved with what Miley did, but that doesn't make him a stand up guy. If you won't keep him away for own sake, do it for Keira's."

I didn't argue. Keira was my world. Of course I wouldn't my little baby get into any kind of danger.

"Fine." I said.

Everyone relaxed. But I had one more question.

"The boy who came to me in the hospital." I said, looking at Liam. I knew he knew exactly who I meant.

My brother sighed. "Honestly, Lena, I have no idea who it was. I swear." He said.

I stared at the ground.

"It shouldn't matter." Calum said. "You love Justin now, right?"

I nodded.

"Then go to him." Kathryn said. "Let this go. He loves you, you love him, and you two are getting married soon. Go find your man."

She was right.

I stood up and grabbed my keys.

"Thank you guys for finally being honest with me." I said.

They all smiled and I walked out the door to find my fiancé.

They were right, I did love Justin.

But I was gonna find out who came to me in that hospital.
