When I laid Niall down, he curled into Harry's blankets and I smiled softly.

I love Niall. He's a sweetheart. I'm glad we're all friends.. I feel terrible about what happened to him. I hope he'll be okay soon. I'm glad we're helping him, too.

Harry came into the room with cookies. I smiled and stole one. He grinned at me then we sat in his floor and talked in hushed voices so we didn't wake Niall..

"You been okay?" I asked

"Good, actually.. helping Niall is.. it's nice. I'm happy we're here for him" he nodded and took a bite of a cookie

"I'm glad too.. it's horrible, what happened to him.."

He nodded and handed me a second cookie.

"You been okay?" he returned my question

"Yeah.. yeah, I have.. though I miss your kisses" I admitted

He frowned. "Have.. Have I been, like, ignoring you? Oh my god, I'm so sorry, I-"

"no, baby" I cut him off quickly, "You haven't. We've both been wrapped up in helping Niall and I was really just messing around with you. You have not been ignoring me, I promise. We have more important things to do than kiss right now"

We sat for a little while longer. We ended up saving four cookies for Niall. When dinner time rolled around, he woke Niall up while I went downstairs..

I walked into the kitchen and found his mother making our plates.. 

I took one and went to set it on the table for her

"Oh, hello" she smiled

"Hi" I smiled a little- not my Harry-Smile or my Sunshine-Smile, but a polite enough one..

Niall says I have a 'Harry Smile' and I do it when i stare at Haz or he enters the room or does something cute.. and Harry says my 'Sunshine Smile' is when I'm truly happy and I smile so wide my eyes close.

Niall and Harry have certain smiles too.. 

Like when we all hang out and Niall laughs, he laughs loud and smiles wide. But when he's being polite, it's a closed smile. Still wide- but his lips are together. His cheeks do turn rosy always though.

And Harry.. he's got the smile he gives to his friends- a true smile, wide, and normally lopsided. The smile he gives to me- dimples popping, eyes shining, and teeth showing. And the polite one- closed lips, polite eyes, and he normally looks down after.

Anyways- 

I set the plate down and go back for another.. I glance back at Harry's room.. The door is still closed..

"Look, Anne.." I sigh

She looks up at me, confused

"I- this is not my place at all.. and I don't want you to dislike me immediately.. but I came in the other night, trying to get Harry some clothes while we were at Nialls.." 

She swallowed hard. Like she was nervous.

"I heard you on the phone. I tried not to listen and I left as fast as possible but.."

"You can't tell him" she whispered

"Tell him what?" I asked

"What you know" she sighed

"I want to know more. Or i'll tell him what I know and you will have to tell him everything" I crossed my arms

"Fine. After dinner though, please.." she gave in

I nodded and took the next plate to the table. Harry came down with a groggy Niall who was still rubbing at his eyes. He looked like a cute kid with Harry- his big brother.

"Hello, Niall" Harry's grandmother greeted as she entered the room, "Hi, Louis" 

"Hey, Ma'am" I smiled wide. I loved his grandma. I gave her a short hug and she ruffled Niall's hair.

"Tired, darling?" she asked him

"A bit" he nodded but he smiled at her

She hugged him and whispered something to him. It made him smile a little more and he thanked her then took his seat at the table.

We got all the plates set out then we all took our seats..

"So, Nana, Mom... You've both met Louis but.. I wanted to tell you- like, officially- that he's my boyfriend" Harry said in the middle of dinner

A huge grin spread over my face and I took his hand on top of the table

Nana and his mum approved and smiled at me- though they somewhat knew.. I'm sure his Nana suspected it and I outright told his mum when I was angry.

When dinner was over, Niall excused himself to the bathroom and Harry went to the living room with his Nana. I offered to help with dishes (only so I could speak with Anne)

As we washed dishes, she spoke quietly- explaining the situation...

about Harry's older sister
