Ch 22:

"Laney, you awake? Breakfast is ready." Harry whispered, awakening me from a deep slumber.

"Yeah. I'm up now." I groaned, still tired. Harry chuckled at my lack of effort to roll out of bed. I followed Harry out of the bedroom and downstairs to the kitchen, but right before we entered I gasped and stopped walking.

"What's wrong, love?" Harry questioned, very confused.

"Your mom cannot see me like this! My hair is a wreck!" I exclaimed in disgust.

"Lane, c'mon your hair is beautiful, as always. She won't care anyways. It's not like we all look amazing or anything anyways." He said. Ugh, men don't get it.

"Harry, I'm sure that you have brushed your hair this morning. I know what your morning hair looks like, and that's not it. I'll be right there, go on. I'm just gonna run a brush through my hair." I said, already walking back to the room. Harry chuckled and nodded, then walked on.

After making myself look a little bit presentable, I entered the kitchen to find a bunch of boys hovered around the table, eating a feast. Personally, breakfast isn't my favorite. I just don't like breakfast foods as much as I love other foods. But, I guess I should eat a little bit.

Gemma and I have been drinking tea on the porch while the lads play video games. The weather is amazing. It's perfect- perfect breeze, perfect air, perfect sky.

"Laney, did you love Harry when you first met him?" Gemma asked with curiosity in her eye.

I chuckled, "Actually, no. I hated him for awhile, but after he convinced me to go on a date with him, I began to fall for him. He really is amazing." I smiled to myself.

"Yes, he's a good guy. He cares so much about you, Laney. I've never seen him like this. My mum thinks that you're the one." Gemma smiled up at me, giving me a warm feeling. 'The one' echoed in my head.

"Honestly, I hope so. I don't know where I'd be without Harry." I said softly. I thought back to the time when I first found out I was sick, and Harry told me 'I am not leaving you. I will never abandon you- no matter how hard this gets.' He really is an amazing person.

Tonight, all of the lads got tired earlier for some reason, so we all made our way to bed. When Harry turned out the light, I couldn't stay awake.

✺✺✺✺✺✺✺✺✺✺✺✺✺✺✺✺✺✺✺✺✺✺✺

"Harry, you have to wake her up!" Someone scream-whispered.

"She can't miss this!"

"It's really late though.."

"It'll be a ton of fun, lad."

"C'mon mate!"

"Alright, alright!"

A felt a hand ease over my shoulder. "Laney, wake up." A deep voice whispered. I slowly fluttered my eyes open. "What is it?" I questioned, wondering why everyone's standing around staring at me in the middle of the night.

"It's a little past 2 in the morning. Come with us, just be quiet." Harry explained, pulling me out of bed. I extended my arms, signaling for him to carry me. Harry swiftly picked me up bridal style, and carried me down the stairs, following the others. I began to doze off again in his arms.

Then, I feel a cool breeze come over me and a moist air. Where in the hell are we? I slowly opened my eyes to see a pool lit up by the moon. Louis, Zayn, and Niall immediately ran and jumped in.

"Hold your breath Lane." Harry said. Before I could process it, Liam pushed Harry and I into the pool. I broke the surface of the water yelling, "LIAM PAYNE, GET IN THIS POOL RIGHT NOW SO I CAN DROWN YOU!" The boys began to laugh and I felt arms snake around me.

"I don't think you can drown me." Liam's voice said in my ear. Damn it, he had me.

"Do you plan on drowning me? because that's a stupid move on your part, Mr. Payne." I laughed.

"Oh yeah? How come?" He replied, obviously ready to dunk me under.

"Because Mr. Styles is my boyfriend, and he will take you down!" I shouted at him playfully. A smirk grew on Harry's face from across the pool. I felt Liam's grip get tighter around me. And right before Liam could pull me under, Harry dove in and snatched me out of his reach.

We swam to a different corner of the pool. "Thank you for saving me, kind sir." I winked at Harry.

"Any time, m'lady." Harry winked back. Liam sent Harry an evil smirk as he began to approach me again. "Lane, get out of the pool and jump in behind Louis, Zayn, and Niall." Harry whispered. I nodded and did as I was told.

I pulled myself out of the water, ran across the cold pavement, and jumped in the pool. "Pst, Louis, Zayn, Niall, keep me away from Liam! He's trying to attack me!" I scream-whispered. They all nodded and hovered around me, so that Liam couldn't see me.

Liam began to attack the other boys trying to reach me, but he was outnumbered. Ha! Looks like my team one this time.

After playing hard in the pool, we began to get tired and made our way to our room. Harry and I took off our wet clothes and left them in the bathroom. I threw on a t-shirt and sweat pants, and Harry threw on some sweat pants too.

Finally, my dreams of Harry put me to sleep.
