(Emily's POV): I was in the lake again. Something cold and slimy had attached itself to me. Screams were issued out of my mouth. No they weren't screams, they were a name. Harry. My eyes frantically darted across the surface desperately trying to find him. He wasn't there though and soon enough my head was enveloped in water. The air inside my lungs started to diminish. My hand traveled down to my foot and the creature that was grabbing it. As my fingertips brushed it I  realized that it was a hand. My head courageously drifted down. Green eyes held my gaze. A mop of curls swayed around. I shook my head in disbelief. Harry brought me down further. My lungs were on fire and I struggled to pull myself up to the surface. Harry was too strong though. He kept on pulling me down. I woke up with a gasp. I sat up in bed. "What's wrong?" a deep voice sounded right next to me. My eyes opened up wide in terror. Harry and I were both naked in my bed. "Did you have a good time last night?" He chuckled. The covers were quickly snatched and brought over my body. "Oh come on! Don't say you didn't have fun! You told me after that this was the best night of your life!" I uncovered my face and stared back at him. His arms wrapped around me and he brought his lips to my cheek. He moved up until he was kissing the corner of my mouth. He smirked and brought his head down to kiss my lips. I woke up in a cold sweat. Deep breaths of air were inhaled. Darkness greeted me and I was alone in my bed. My lips widened in a small smile. My back softly fell back down. I quickly glanced over to the clock. 3:09. My eyes fluttered closed and I desperately tried to seize the sleep that had just left me. A buzz sounded throughout the room. Instinctively I reached for my phone. The screen showed the caller ID as being Harry. A breath of air was blown out of my lips. I hesitantly bit my lip, not wanting to be waken up but not wanting to hang up on Harry. I pushed the green button and pressed the phone to my ear. "Emily?" I groaned,"yah, who else?" A chuckle traveled through the phone,"well hello to you little miss sunshine." Another groan came out of my mouth.  "Why are you calling this early?" Silence greeted me,"I...I just wanted to talk to you. Did I wake you up?" An innocent little voice rang in my ear. I smiled,"no not really. I had a bad dream." Concern could be heard through his voice,"what about?" I explained to him about the double dream I had had. When I finished I could tell he was smiling,"so you dreamed of us having sex?" My face grew red and I tried to keep my voice to a whisper,"no! It was just us after, I think." "So you think about that?" "No of course not! I don't think it's really run through my mind before now." "I sometimes think about it." My mouth widened in surprise,"you do not Harry Styles!" It was as if he were nodding his head and saying no,"maybe not." A pause until he started talking again,"did you tell Olivia about the lake?" I laughed,"yes and she wouldn't stop laughing. I had to pour cold water onto her to make her stop." He chuckled,"By the way the boys and I have kind of taken a break." My eyebrow furrowed in confusion,"what do you mean?" "We all have gone back to our hometowns for a month." "So are you alone?" I could hear him shaking his head,"no, at least not right now. Louis came over here for a couple of days." I gasped,"is he listening to our conversation?" He laughed,"no he's a sleep. Don't worry. What about Olivia?" "Same," a sharp intake of breath could be heard. "What's wrong?" I asked. "Umm.... Louisdoesn'treallylikeyou." He quickly gushed. "He doesn't want me to see you." "What do you mean? I thought he was ok when Liam gave you the papers?" Harry sighed,"maybe but after I came back from seeing you the first time he called me off." I bit my lip,"what do you mean?" "When I came back he took me out to lunch and gave me a speech. He quoted me when I said that I was only going to see you to know why you left. I told him that everybody knew I was just saying that and it wasn't true. He got mad at me and made me promise not to see you again. I wouldn't and told him that he couldn't control me. He started to get really mad and said that he was doing this for my own good. He wasn't of course. So I told him that he didn't understand the feelings that you give me." I blushed,"your right he doesn't understand." I could hear the smile in his voice,"so then I walked out. He came after me and told me that you would just break my heart. I laughed in his face and told him that you where the one that was afraid to fall in love not me. Then I just told him I wouldn't see you again. Of course that's a lie and whenever I come to see you I say I'm visiting a friend. Louis of course is skeptical. Niall knows though and covers for me." I squeezed my eyes shut,"Harry maybe we shouldn't do this." He quickly responded alarmed,"what? No!" I sighed,"I just don't want to get in the way of your friendship." Harry almost sounded annoyed,"your not trust me!" I scoffed,"sneaking behind your best friends back after he specifically told you not to see me, don't tell me that's not bad harry." He groaned,"he'll see how great you are don't worry." "This is serious Harry! I'll only see you if you've talked to Louis about us before hand." He let out a puff of air,"fine. But does that mean you'll come visit me here? Just for a day. I have somewhere I want to take you." I smiled,"yes that sounds great, but only if you talk to Louis ok?" Harry chuckled,"yes your majesty... Does this Saturday sound good?" "Perfect." "Ok see you then. Good night." I laughed,"you mean good morning?" He chuckled,"yah whatever the hell it is. Good night your majesty." I giggled,"good night prince Harry."

Harry's  POV: I waited for her to hang up. My phone went black and I sighed. My eyes fluttered close and a smile crept onto my face.  A huff escaped my lips as I laid back down. Bed springs creaked and a weight was added to my bed. I quickly jumped up,"Lou?" "Yeah." I waited for him to continue. "Who was that?" I closed my eyes remembering Emily's words making me promise to tell the truth to Louis. "That was Emily." "I know." "Then why did you ask?" "I just wanted to hear it from your mouth." I shifted uncomftorably,"how much did you hear?" Louis smirked,"everything." I bit my lip,"I'm sorry Lou, it's just that I couldn't let her go. She makes me feel like Harry, not Harry Styles from one direction. I care for her and respect her. And she does the same to me. If your worried about her breaking my heart I can almost guarantee you a life of no worry. You should be worried about me breaking her heart. I wouldn't ever want to, but knowing her, I've got a bigger chance. She's never loved someone before because she hasn't let herself. She opened up to me the first time I saw her again and she told me the reason why. And I will try my hardest to prove to her that what happened to her mom will never happen to her. Whenever I see her I get butterflies. Everything about her screams perfect. I've never felt this way about anyone else. I don't understand why you don't like her Lou. Over the phone you know what she said?" Louis shook his head,"she didn't have a clue that we were sneaking out. I told her and she told me that I should let her go. I know she didn't want to. She put you in front of herself. She told me that she didn't want to stand in the way of our friendship. She said that I should never let go of the friendship I share with all of the boys especially you. And I told her that you would one day accept her and it would not tear us apart. But she made promise that if we were to keep seeing each other, you would have to know and grant us permission. Now do you really think she's a bad person?" Louis whispered,"no." I sighed,"I'm sorry I snapped." Louis shook his head,"no your right. I had no clue. I just didn't want to see you like when she left. I've always counted on you to be single and wild, the young child of the group. But your not and I have to accept that.... Harry the real reason I came to talk to you was to tell you that I don't care if you see her. What I heard on the phone was true care and love. I just thought she would be another girl but the way you guys spoke made me believe that she's not going anywhere anytime soon." He scooted up next to me,"I already knew you guys where seeing each other." He pulled out his phone and showed me a picture taken of Emily and I. We were on the boat and I was wrapping my towel around her in an embrace. We were both smiling with flushed cheeks. We looked like school yard crushes that fancied each other. I smiled and turned to face Louis. He had a smile in his face,"when I saw this picture this afternoon I was mad at first, but I quickly noticed the look you guys are giving each other. I don't want to ruin that. I want you to go on a dates with her. I want you to see her. But most of all I want you to be happy." His voice cracked at the end,"aww Lou!" I exclaimed and brought him into my arms in a hug. "By the way, were not dating. She wants to be friends so that's what we will be." Louis smirked,"no you will become much more. I know you want more. Next time you see her tell her." He got up and walked to the other side of the room and climbed into bed. "Thanks Lou." "Go get her." I smiled and closed my eyes planing for this upcoming Saturday.
