A/N - Well hey there guys! I'm so so sorry for not updating in a while, I could never find a good time to write but I am determined to write the next few chapters so please don't delete this from your library!

Can we try to get 20 votes in the next week?! :)

*Harry's POV*

Why is he here? Why did Louis invite him? What was he thinking?

"Zayn" I greeted him, unsure of what else to say. Walking back into the living room, I sat down and tried to ignore everything that was going on around me.

Louis sat down next to me as Zayn walked into the room, sitting next to Liam who blushed. Everybody knew that Liam used to have a massive crush on Zayn, sparking Niall's obvious jealously.

"Harry, can I speak to you in the kitchen please?" Louis whispered.

I simply nodded and followed behind him, leaving the room that was so obviously filled with tension.

"Why did you invite him here Louis?! What were you thinking?!" I whisper yelled.

"Harry just listen-"

"I just don't get it! You know that me and him don't get along! Our dad is the lunatic that tried to kill me!"

"Harry-"

"We hate each other, what are you trying to achieve with this, I-"

"HARRY!" Louis yelled. I stared at him, stunned by his sudden change of tone.

He breathed out a sigh of relief as I stayed silent, listening to what he has to say.

"Zayn is the one that saved you. He showed up at your house after your dad had been there." I stood in shock at his words, he had to be lying...right?! "He rang me from your phone and told me to hurry up to your house and told me that he'd already phoned for an ambulance I don't care how much you hate him Harry, you'd be dead without him!"

We both stood staring at each other, unsure of what to say. I was so confused by it all but decided it would be best to let it all sink in first. Louis stood on his tip toes and gently pulled me forward to softly kiss my lips, then left the room to allow me to think.

I definitely need to talk to Zayn about all this.

*Louis' POV*

I left Harry in the kitchen to just think about what I said, and entering the living room, I felt the tension hit me like a brick wall. Zayn was playing on his phone, Ed humming to himself, Niall was munching the little food that was left and Liam was awkwardly looking around the room, still slightly flustered because he was sat next to Zayn.

"So guys", everyone's heads snapped up as I turned to face the voice behind me, "now that my brother is here, how about we all get to know each other? Considering I know barely anything about any of you, apart from Louis of course" he said before kissing my cheek, causing a few 'awww's from the boys. Zayn's face lit up as Harry called him his brother. It clearly meant a lot to him, he even surprised me by saying it.

We all sat down in a circle on the floor and went through full names, ages, and birthdays. Harry started off the next topic which nobody seemed to find awkward...thankfully!

"Sexualities...I'm gay, obviously!" Harry started.

"Gay" I sang in a stereotypically gay voice.

"Gay" Niall continued.

Liam was next up "I'm bi",

Then Zayn, "I'm bi too" he smiled at Liam, causing the boy to blush once again. I never knew Zayn was bi?!

"Wow okay so I'm the only straight person in the room, awesome" Ed laughed.

Next was our first high school crush. I was first up, "mine was a boy named Jeff back at my old high school, he was cute but Harry is better" I grabbed Harry's face from the side of mine and slammed my lips against his, pulling away very quickly surprising everyone. We all laughed before Niall went up.

"My first girl crush was Jessica but I don't know if I'll count that because I'm gay?! So I guess my first crush is Liam" Niall smiled at his boyfriend.

Liam was already very flustered by Niall's response but he got even more red as he responded, stuttering as he spoke, "m-my first c-crush was erm, it was Z-Zayn!" He shoved his head in his hands and hid from everyone as Zayn blushed too.

Yes. Zayn blushed.

"Well actually Liam, I kind of maybe had a crush on you, but didn't say anything because I was unsure of my sexuality and I tried to keep my reputation up too! I'm sorry. Don't be embarrassed" Zayn placed his finger under Liam's chin and forced Liam to look at him, they both smiled at each other as Niall left the room in an angry rage.

"I'll go after him" I said, following Niall to the kitchen. "What was that all about?"

"Oh, maybe just the fact that my boyfriend and his first crush who also has a crush on him are flirting it up in the living room" His face showed anger but I could tell by his eyes that he was more upset than anything else.

I softly replied to him, "Niall, Liam is your boyfriend and he loves you. Just because they used to like each other doesn't mean that anything is going to happen between them, you have to trust him Ni".

Niall just nodded and smiled small in response to me, so I decided to give him some time and head back to the living room where I was attacked by Liam.

"Is he okay?! I feel horrible! Can I talk to him?! Does he still love me?! Are we still together?! I don't know what I'd do if we weren't and-"

"Liam calm down! He just needs some time but everything is fine" I responded before flopping down next to Harry and cuddling into him, "I love you Harry" I said randomly looking up into his gorgeous green eyes.

"I love you too Louis" he replied, cupping my face and placing a soft kiss to my lips.
