Chapter 7

(Ryen's POV)
-
The right side of Harry's face was red. I couldn't believe him. How could Niall do that? And he wanted to me to forgive him... Glad I didn't.
Niall slowly walked over to Louis and talked to him in private while everyone else did their own thing.
I brought Harry over to the couch.
"Harry, your sure your ok?" I asked.
He nodded.
"Lay with me?" He asked.
I bit the tip of my finger nail.
"Um..." I said questioning.
He smirked.
"Don't worry, I just wanna cuddle." He explained.
I then, felt better.
I laid down with him, I was at the end, so Harry wrapped his arm around me so I wouldn't fall. I had to admit, I was comfy. I felt his heart beat and his warmth surrounding me. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
-
When I woke up, I saw Niall across the room, looking at me. Harry was still behind me, cuddling. He had fallen asleep too.
I sat up, not wanting to bother Harry from his sleep.
Niall's eyes were red from what I could see. It looked like he had been crying.
"Why are you staring at me?" I asked.
"Because.... I hurt you..... .... And I don't know why." Niall said, tears coming back to him.
I looked down.
I didn't know what to say. I guess it was fair to say he left me speechless.
Harry, from his sleep, grumbled. His hand was moving where I was laying. He opened his green eyes and saw me sitting up.
He made a pouty face.
"Why'd you stop cuddling?" Harry asked.
"I woke up." I said.
Harry then saw Niall. And his light soft green emerald eyes turned into a dark rough green. Something I've never experienced before.
I knew what he was thinking.
"Harry, no." I said putting my hand on his chest, stopping him from getting up.
"He hurt you, Ryen. No one hurts my girl." He said with rage in his eyes.
Niall's face turned from sad to confused....
Don't look at me. I was just as confused as he was.
"What do you mean by 'your girl' exactly?" Niall asked.
Harry looked me me, I looked at him.
"She's my girl. And no one, and I mean no one, will ever hurt her." Harry said.
I actually felt... Happy.
Harry cared about me.
I smiled, not knowing why.
Then Perrie and Zayn walked in.
"Hey ry, what you smiling about?" She asked, smiling herself.
I quickly stopped.
"I have no idea..." I said thoughtlessly.
She smiled at me.
"Hey, where's Louis?" I asked.
"Oh, he went out to get firewood, marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate for the bond fire were having tonight." Zayn said.
I perked up.
"Yay! A bond fire." I said with joy.
Perrie face me a puzzled look.
"Why do you and Harry look like you just woke up?" Perrie asked.
"We did." I said modestly.
"Together...?" Zayn asked suspiciously, eyeing Harry.
Harry had been known for being a player, and i can bet you, Zayn was looking out for me.
Harry nodded.
"It was just cuddling." Harry explained honestly.

The attention was now on Niall. His eyes began to water again.
"Don't play dumb, Niall." I said.
Niall looked up at Me with angry blue eyes.
"Mate..." Zayn said to Niall, trying to calm him.
"YOU WERE THE ONE WHO MADE EVERYTHING GO WRONG IN THE FIRST PLACE!" Niall screamed at Me.
Ryen's blue eyes quivered. She obviously hasn't seen angry Niall.
She buried her head in my chest and shook. She was scared.
"NIALL STOP! YOUR SCARING RYEN!" I yelled.
Niall looked at ryen. she was still shaking from being afraid. Niall's eyes softened.
"Ryen I-
Niall started.
"C'mon buddy. U need some air." Zayn said taking Niall out of the house, Perrie following. I cradled Ryen as soft sobs left her mouth.

"Shh, it's ok. I know you've never seen Niall like that." Harry said stroking my hair. I looked up at him.
"That's the thing." I said.
"What is, love?" He asked.
"I HAVE seen him like that... He was my bully... I remembered him as he was. A mean, bully." I said shaking again.
"Aw, princess." Harry said kissing my forehead.
I paused.
"What did you mean by I'm your girl?" I asked him.
"I felt connected to you, Ryen. And the thing is, I feel like I've known you forever. And being away from you is like being struck by lighting; maybe cool for some people but me, it hurts." He said.
I looked down.
"Oh." I said not really knowing what to say.
"I love you." He lightly whispered.
Those three words hit me like a heart attack.
"I... I love you to." I said smiling.
He quickly laid back down, taking me with him.
I felt warm again. I felt happy again. I felt loved again. I felt... Me again.
After a few minutes, Harry and I fell asleep.

When I walked through the door, i had the Groceries in my hands. Everyone was gone, and Harry and Ryen was sleeping on the couch.
"What i miss?" I asked myself.
