"Joy!" I called through the house.

I heard her paws hit the ground as she was set down. She ran into the kitchen and when she saw that I had filled her dog bowl up with food and her other bowl with water, she ran straight to them.

I left Joy in the kitchen to eat and get hydrated and sat in the living room with the boys before we had to leave for rehearsal for the concert tonight.

"You were lucky to get a dog that is already trained to go outside and do its business," Liam spoke as I smiled.

"Autumn picked her out, all credit goes to her," I spoke as Joy jumped on the couch and sat in my lap.

I pet her softly as she laid down in my lap, her head resting on my stomach.

"She's probably one of the best dogs ever," I spoke as Autumn appeared into the living room and sat herself in Niall's lap.

She whispered something in his ear and he gave her a concerned look, but nodded anyways and went upstairs with her. I gave the other two boys a look before setting Joy on the ground and me following Autumn and Niall upstairs.

"I didn't mean to Uncle Ni, he'll be mad," Autumn spoke sadly.

"Sweetheart, he won't be mad. It's just a pillowcase. You couldn't help it," he spoke, "c'mon, lets go tell him."

I acted like I had just walked upstairs and I walked in the doorway. "Hey guys."

"Harry, she needs to tell you something," Niall spoke as he gently nudged Autumn to look at me.

"What happened sweetheart?" I asked as she walked towards me and grabbed my hand.

"I bled," she spoke as I noticed the dried blood under her nose.

"Shit, Niall get me a wet rag," I spoke as he went into my bathroom.

"It's alright, I promise," I spoke to her, but she pointed to my bed.

I saw blood all over my white pillowcase and she let go of my hand. I looked down and she sniffled, "I'm sorry daddy."

"Hey," I spoke picking her up, "its alright princess. Its just a pillowcase."

Niall returned and handed me the wet rag. I wiped under her nose until the dried blood came off, but that started another nose bleed.

"I got it," Niall spoke as I sat Autumn down and put my hand under her nose, blood going all over my hand.

He returned a few seconds later with a shit ton of toilet paper and put it under her nose so I could move my hand.

"I'll be back, will you change her while I change myself?" I spoke as he nodded, holding the toilet paper to her nose as he picked her up and took her across the hall.

I went down the stairs to wash off my hand and get a new shirt from the dryer when the doorbell rang. Not thinking about the blood on me, I answer it.

Danielle is stood there and her eyes went wide. "Shit, Harry you're bleeding!"

I look down and then look back up at her, "No, it's not what it looks like Dani. I promise. Autumn got a nose bleed and I was holding my hand under her nose while Niall got some toilet paper and some blood from my hand got on my shirt."

She nodded and sighed in relief, walking inside and smiled as Joy greeted her.

"You're so precious! Cuter than the pictures your daddy sent me!" She cooed at the dog as she sat in the floor and began playing with her.

I got my phone from my non bloody hand and took a picture of Dani and the dog.

I cleaned my hand and changed my shirt before posting the picture on Instagram.

"Thank you for taking us to the arena and back," I spoke as everyone got out of the car, Louis carrying Autumn to bed.

"No problem, I'll see you tomorrow morning?" She yawned as I glanced at the time.

It was one in the morning and we have an interview tomorrow morning at 8 and she was told to be here around 7, Lou's orders.

"Stay," I spoke.

She looked at me, then yawned, then said, "What?"

"Stay the night. It's one in the morning and we've got to leave in six hours for that interview. You'll get more rest here," I pleaded.

She rolled her eyes and nodded, turning the car off. I smiled, getting out of the car and going around to open the door for her. She got out and I shut the door behind her.

"Wait," she spoke as it began to drizzle rain.

"Dani, what are you doing?" I spoke as she grabbed my hand and pulled me out into the middle of the street, the rain coming down harder and soaking our clothing.

"Kiss me," she said over the rain.

"What?"

"Harry, just kiss me," she spoke as i bit my lip and leaned in, her wet lips on mine.

My hands went to her waist and I pulled her closer as her arms went around my neck. Her lips left mine and we smiled at each other, then ran inside to dry off and go to bed.

"Joy," I spoke as I stood in my doorway. She was laying in front of Autumn's door, staring at Autumn and Louis asleep in her bed.

"Come sleep with me," I spoke as she tilted her head, but got up anyways and ran in my room.

She jumped on the bed and laid at the edge of the bed. I changed into some sweatpants before Danielle came out of the bathroom, her changing into some of my clothes.

I put our wet clothes in the dryer and returned back upstairs, where Dani sat on the bed and played with Joy.

I shut the door and crawled into bed, "Come cuddle me."

She rolled her eyes and smiled, crawling into bed next to me and laying her head on my chest.

"You know Styles," she spoke drowsily, "only couples cuddle."

I looked down at her with my tired eyes and said, "Really? I didn't know such a thing."

"Does this make us a couple?" She asked me.

"I don't know, does it?" I spoke as she leaned in and kissed me softly.

"Damn, I guess it does."
