Harry's Pov

I don't sleep, but even if I could right now, I wouldn't. I probably wouldn't, period. Not with her on my mind, constantly working her way into my every thought. I lay, one leg crossed over the other with both of my arms tucked under my head, just thinking. The sound of my door being opened was the only sound to be heard.

"Sweety?" My mother's passionate voice coated my ears.

I didn't say anything, but continue to look at my ceiling. There was nothing interesting about it, but still I continued to stare.

"Harry, is something wrong?" I felt the bed dip and her fingers decorated with rings entwined with my curls, just as Mia's had.

"Mum, I don't know what to do." I sigh.

"Honey, is this about Mia?"

"Yes." My voice came out so small, that even in this quiet it was hard to hear.

"Is this also about you and your father?"

"How could it not be!?" I shout suddenly, but then cave back. "Mum, I'm sorry."

"No dear, this is not your fault. I understand that you're torn." She makes me sit up and look at her. "Whatever you decide to do, I will not stop you. I will support you and I will help you, but you also have to think about Gracie, because whatever you show Mia about yourself, you're also showing her parts of Gracie, too." My mother's words sunk into me.

"I'm scared, mum," I whisper. "I'm scared of losing her, but I'm also scared of hurting her."

"My beautiful baby boy." Her eyes were glossy with admiration. "All of these feelings and thoughts are not abnormal. You have a bigger chance of losing her if you keep yourself from her, because right now that's what you're doing. She does not know the Harry I know and love and as for hurting her, you have to trust yourself before you can trust her, just as you have to learn to love yourself before you can love her." She places a kiss on my temple and blinks rapidly, wiping a stray tear from her ageing cheeks. "I trust that you will do the right thing," she emphasizes.

I don't get the chance to absorb everything she had just said or to say anything, before she leaves the room and by the time she had clicked my door shut, I knew what I had to do.

Mia's Pov

I hadn't seen Harry all day, but when the chance struck, my body told me he was near and so did my ears before my eyes did.

"You stay away from her!" I heard ferocious growls.

"It's funny, I was just about to say the same thing to you." His laugh was mocking and venomous.

A crowd had formed to watch this circus act. I pushed my way through planted body that were unwilling to move. My wishes had been resented when I saw what was before me. Harry and Zayn. Fighting. Again.

"You kissed her!" Harry threw a fist, which Zayn escaped.

"Well, I only thought it was fair, seeing as you had." He then saw me watching with in confoundment and winked at me.

Bad move Zayn. Harry fist collides with his angular jaw throwing his head back slightly.

"Don't ever look at her." Harry spat.

"I don't think that's for you to decide." It was Zayn's turn to deliver some punches, but Harry took two steps back, leaving a gap for defense. "Why can't you just take a hint and leave her alone, freak?" The sheen of back that infused Harry's eye made me step back in fear.

I had seen this before when heroine Hagrid had attacked me. I felt fear for Zayn. "What. Did. You. Just. Say?" Harry said fearfully calm.

"Do you want me to spell it out for you, freak!?" Zayn shouts and takes another blow at Harry forcefully, hitting him in the face.

I felt my heart clench in my chest. "Enough!" I scream and everyone's eyes stuck to me. Shit. Harry couldn't even look me in the eye, but Zayn did enthusiastically. Did he think I would be proud?

I heard the whispers 'Like why would they fight over her?' or 'She must have been whoring around.' and then I heard Jess.

"Show's over people. Go back to watching Geordie Shore." Eventually everyone drifted apart.

The boys hadn't said anything to each other and I hadn't moved from my spot. "Mind telling me what's going on?" I laugh dryly.

"Can we go somewhere more...private?" Zayn asks, but I don't say anything and start walking outside into the quad.

"Is this private enough for you?" I gesture with my hands. There was no one here. Our only witness being the trees and the occasional bird.

"Baby, I'm sorry." Harry starts to plead, but he still hasn't looked at me yet.

"No." I raise my hand at him. "I get that you don't like each other, but what I don't get is that whenever you fight, it's always about me. Stop it."

"Look Mia, you don't get it." Zayn begins.

"You're damn right, I don't get it! You're both idiots. You are both fucking with my head and it's confusing me."

"But he's dangerous!" Zayn shouts. "Why can't you just trust me?"

"Harry is not dangerous!" I shout back and surprise myself with my own words. Harry's head snapped up and he eventually looked at me, he must have be as surprised as I was. "I know he won't hurt me." I pause and pull air into my lungs. "I trust him."

Without even caring that Zayn was still there, he walks over and pulls me into his safe arms.

"Mia, you don't know what you're getting yourself into." Zayn pleads.

"No, it seems you don't. Get lost!" Harry snaps and I hid my face in Harry's chest.

"Fine, but when he fucks up I'll be waiting."

"As if." Harry replies for me.

When he leaves, Harry's hands cuddle my hips. "We have a lot to talk about."
