Harry's POV:
I don't know what came over me. I woke up instantly and I just had this feeling in me that I have to tell her that I love her. I am so nervous and I don't know how she will take it. I have never told anyone outside of my family that I love them and even then, I don't say it all that much to my family. She looks afraid. Her eyes are wide and she is sitting up in the bed. I take her hands in mine and lead her out of her bedroom and out on to the patio. The stars are very bright and the moon is lighting up the sky. She takes a step away from me. "Stella, there is something I have to tell you and I can't wait any longer." I begin. I just need to get this out. She nods her head and I continue. "Stella, ever since I met you, I knew that I was going to fall hard. And I have, I have fallen hard for you. I find myself smiling at the most pointless things because now I am happy. You make me want to be a better person. I have never felt like this about anyone before and I am sorry that it has taken me this long to say it. I love you Stella. I really do, with all of my heart, I love you. I have tried so many times this past week to tell you and I just couldn't find the words to say it. I was thinking when we were in bed that I couldn't wait any longer and that I just had to tell you." I let out a breath and look at her. I hold her hands and she is silent. "Please say something, I get it if you don't feel the same way, and I understand if this is all too soon for you but Stella, I love you and you need to know that." I tell her staring into her eyes trying desperately to read her mind. If she doesn't love me back, I will do whatever it takes to make her feel the way that I do.
Stella's POV:
I am shocked. Harry woke me up at almost 2 in the morning, brought me outside, only to tell me that he loves me. I am completely speechless. I don't know what to say so I just stand there. He looks at me with his emerald green eyes and my hands in his. He hasn't stopped talking since he said those 3 little words. I smile to myself at how nervous he is. I knew about 3 days ago that I loved him and he has finally said it to me. I squeeze his hand and put my finger over his lips to silence him. "Harry, stop talking. I love you too. Thank you for finally being honest with me" I say and he pulls me into his arms. "You do? You don't have to agree with me just because I said it..." he says unsure of my answer. "Harry, I told you, I am the luckiest girl in the world to have you by my side. I love you." I tell him doing my best to assure him that I am telling the truth. He kisses my forehead and then my lips and I tangle my fingers through his curls. His hands wrap around my waist and he pulls me even closer to him. Our lips move perfectly together and there is always so much passion between us. He is different than any other person that I have met before. Now that I have admitted my feelings to Harry and to myself, if he ever hurts me, I don't know what I would do. It would break my heart to loose Harry. We pull apart from the kiss and I run my thumb over his dimple. He smiles and kisses my nose. "I love you Stella." he repeats. "I love you, Harry." I say and he kisses my lips again softly. I grab his hand and lead him back inside. We walk to my bedroom and climb into the bed to face each other. "You know you could have waited until the morning, when you woke me up I thought you were second guessing our relationship and that you were going to break up with me." I whisper. "I would never even think of being without you. I need you Stella." he reassures me. We say our goodnights for the second time and I turn over and Harry pulls me close to him. When he thinks I'm asleep I hear him whisper how much he loves me in my ear and I cant help but smile. Harry and I love each other and at this moment, I am happy. I have to remember to call my mom tomorrow and tell her! I told her about Harry briefly but not in detail. I told her that he and I had gone out on a few dates here and there but nothing serious. She always told me to be careful and now I know why. Once you love someone, you can't even bear the thought of losing them. I wonder how my dad will react. Oh God, my brother. He has no idea about any of this. When I told my mom I made her promise not to say anything to him because I know how he gets when I bring a boy into the picture. When I lived at home Alex and I would make jokes about how if I ever became a singer, he would be my body guard because he was always crazy over protective. I slowly feel myself drifting off and I fall asleep.
