Together [Sequel to Love Actually]

Chapter 10

I woke up the next morning with my head on Harry's chest. He was already awake twirling my hair through his fingers.

I looked up at him and smiled.

"Morning." I said happily.

"Morning." Harry answered.

The swelling in his lip was gone; there was only a small cut left.

I looked over next to me, and Niall was sprawled out sound asleep.

"I woke up, and you two were all snuggled up together, so I pulled you off of him, and laid you on me. Then I stayed awake because I didn't want him to be able to lie with you, and me not." Harry said.

"I was sleeping I didn't know." I said embarrassedly.

"I know you didn't mean too, I was just making sure it didn't happen again." Harry said.

I laughed, and snuggled closer into him. He wrapped his arms tighter around me, and kissed my temple.

We laid down just snuggling and kissing for a while, until Niall woke up. He turned over to face us.

"Hi guys." He said groggily.

"Morning sleepy head." I laughed.

Niall rubbed his eyes, and yawned like a little puppy. He was so adorable. I leaned over, and pulled him into a hug.

"Hello." He whispered.

"You smell nice." I laughed.

Niall smiled, and I got up from the bed.

"We have to go to the venue to set up and stuff and do sound check, so Scar go shower and clean yourself." Harry said.

I laughed, and rushed into the bathroom. I took a quick shower, and then got dressed. Niall and Harry were already ready by the time I finished up.

We left the room, and went out to the bus that would be taking us to the venue. Brian was on the bus, and Harry kept his distance. I stayed with Harry, and Niall went to hang out with Louis.

Harry and I went and sat in his bunk, and talked.

"How does you lip feel then?" I asked.

"It throbs a little, but it's fine." Harry said with a shrug.

"That's good. At least you didn't have to miss a show." I said.

Harry nodded, and grabbed my hands.

"I'm so sorry about all the drama lately. I didn't want any of this to happen. I thought bringing you would be all this fun, and it would take your mind off of things back home, but it just made things worse." Harry said sadly.

"It's funny, because through all this drama I forgot about my home drama. Surprisingly, I don't even care about this drama. It's helped me realize a lot about myself and my life, and things that I need to change and do to be happy again. So don't apologize Harry. Thank you." I said with a small smile.

"You're amazing Scarlet." Harry laughed.

I smiled, leaned in, and pecked his lips.

"I'm glad you and Niall are getting close, and that you and Perrie fixed things. It's good for you to get the space you need." Harry said.

"Thank you. I'm glad that you're helping me through this. I never could have done any of this without you." I said with a proud smile.

"Your mom would be proud of you, the way you've been handling things, I'd put money on the fact that she's smiling down at you." Harry said squeezing my hand lightly.
