HARRY'S POV

I know your hiding something, and I will find out.

Gemma's words replay in mind all night as I fall asleep on the couch to the blank tv.

I want to be in bed with Kris right now, holding her and experiencing the warm feeling I get in my heart when I am with her. But I cant look her in the eye right now. I need time to comprehend the fact that I got her pregnant and she miscarried and doesnt know about any of it, and she cant find out, it will break her. I cant let Gemma find out because she will go straight to Kris.

Gemma knows me best out of anyone in the world. I am close with my parents but me and Gemma, we are just inseparable. She clearly knows that I am hiding something, but she cant find out, she cant.

I turn onto my other side and throw the pillow to the floor. Trying to get comfortable on this couch is like trying to be calm and orderly on black friday, it just doesnt happen.

I have so much on my mind. Too much has happened in the last twenty four hours. And I just want to throw myself onto Kris and forget everything toss my worries away. But I cant. Kris is fragile and weak and I have to take care of her. The trial is in two days and I still need to talk to Liam and get information about it. Also, I dont know if I got the job at the college yet, if I do my co worker is some whore who I fucked in college, great. On top of that, I havent spoken to my mother since I got here and she is bound to call sooner or later. How am I supposed to tell her that I found a girl who I am in love with, she is living here, I got her pregnant but she miscarried because she was beat up by her abusive father who she ran away from then he kidnapped her but dont worry because he is in jail now. This should be interesting.

I look at the time on the cable box and it reads 6 am. Gemma should be getting up for work soon. I hope this day goes better then yesterday.

KRIS'S POV

"Good morning." I hear someone almost whisper.

I untangle my hair from in front of my face and slowly sit up leaning on my elbows.

Gemma is sitting on the edge of my bed gently rubbing the white comforter over my leg.

"I just wanted to say goodbye to you before I left for work. Harry wasnt notified yet about the job so he will be home all day." Gemma says.

"Okay." I say my voice groggy from just waking up.

I open my eyes a little more and become aware of my surroundings. I start to look around and notice Harry is no where to be found. Where is he?

"Wheres Harry?" I ask my voice still hoarse.

"He is on the couch." Gemma says.

I am so confused. Why is Harry not in bed with me?

"I am going to get on my way." Gemma says standing from my bed.

"Okay thank you for being such a great friend." I tell her and sit up just enough to wrap my arms around her and give her a hug.

She wraps her arms around my back. Its not her usually deathly grip hug, she is barley even touching me. Everyone is treating me like I am glass, even Harry. I dont know how much more I can take.

Gemma gets up and walks down the hallway.

"Bye sunshine." I hear her sarcastically say, I assume to Harry.

"Wait Gemma." I hear him say.

I can listen to him talk all day. His voice is, beautiful.

"About last night, I am not hiding anything and you need to lay off." He says.
