A/N Hello! Alright so can I just mention how much I love Jeremy? He's my favorite. Anyways haha enjoy the chapter! Thanks!

'How's he doing?' Zayn asked Louis who had left Harry on the couch by the fire just to go to the loo. Both boys had fallen asleep on the couch for a few hours, Louis only to be awaken by a very full bladder. Louis was just leaving the bathroom when Zayn approached him.

'Sleeping like a rock.' Louis responded. 'Zayn how did you know we were there? When you came and performed CPR on Harry, how did you know where we were?' Louis asked.

'You didn't honestly think i was going to just let you and Jeremy go off by yourselves?' Zayn responded with a smile. And then suddenly Louis's arms were wrapped around Zayn.

'God i'm so sorry Zayn, I was being such a dick. You saved Harry's life and I can't thank you enough.' Louis sincerely said still hugging the boy. 'Im so so sorry.' Louis pulled back and smiled apologetically at Zayn who just shrugged.

'Don't worry about it. I would have done the same thing if it was Niall.' Zayn said, cutting Louis some slack. Louis smiled gratefully and then raised an eyebrow at his best-mate.

'Speaking of Niall, what's going on there?' Louis asked only worrying about the two.

'Okay so about a month ago Niall was supposed to go into the city to do something very important, which he said he did but I don't believe him because we haven't heard back from anybody saying anything about what we did so i know for a fact that he didn't do what he said he did.' Zayn explained crossing his arms over his chest. 'Also, I gave him a chance to confess and just admit that he didn't do what he was supposed to, but he kept lying. Straight to my face.' Zayn shook his head and clucked his tongue. Louis let out a sigh.

'It's so hard to give advice if I have no idea what Niall was in the city doing.' Louis advised Zayn who shook his head.

'I can't tell you that yet. We will eventually.' Zayn promised to Louis who raised his eyebrows.

'Oh so there's still a "we" between you and Niall? From what Niall told me, there is no "we" left.' Louis said making air quoted with his fingers each time he said we. Zayn bit his lip and looked at his feet.

'I left him, and at the time I thought it was right but I miss him. I have every right to be mad at him but I shouldn't have left him.' Zayn said a bit sadly. Louis immediately felt sorry for the lad. He placed a hand on Zayn's shoulder.

'It's not too late Zayn. It's not like you divorced him. Just go talk to him. I know for a fact he misses you tons Zayn.' Louis encouraged Zayn who nodded and pulled Louis into another hug. 'Love you Zayn.'

'Love you too Lou.' Zayn pulled back and left the staff house, which Louis presumed he went to look for Niall. Louis watched Zayn out the window for a few seconds and then returned to Harry. He walked over to the fire and tended to it quickly, before turning around to see Harry still laying on the couch, but he was awake.

'Louis?' Harry called out quietly and then coughed lightly. Louis was at Harry's side in a second.

'Yes baby? Can I get you anything? Tea? Or another blanket? Do you want me to make some more soup?' Louis quickly asked Harry hoping to be of some assistance. Harry smiled and nodded his head.

'Tea would be lovely but I can make it myself Lou.' Harry said beginning to sit up, only to be lightly pushed back down by Louis.

'No, no, no. You rest and i'll make the tea. It's no big deal really. I want to make the tea. Do you need anything else?' Louis asked again. Harry quietly laughed a scratchy laughed and shook his head; coughing again. 'Do you need something for your throat? A cough drop? Or-'

'Boobear, just the tea is lovely.' Harry placed a hand on Louis's to calm him. 'Just tea.' Harry repeated to Louis who nodded and then pressed a quick kiss to Harry's cheek. He quickly walked to the kitchen and put some water into the kettle. It only took a few minutes for it to boil so he was quick to return to Harry. Louis placed the tray down on the small table beside the couch. Harry sat up and reached his hands out for the tea cup. Louis saw that his hands were shaking and were still a ghastly white. Louis grabbed Harry's hands in his before Harry could grab the cub and held them in his. He brought them up to his lips and kissed them lightly.

'I'm sorry.' Louis said again. 'I'm so-' Louis was cut off when a pair of lips were pressed up against his. This kiss was just a light chaste kiss. No tongue involved at all. When Harry pulled back he reached for his teacup but Louis stopped him again, making Harry sigh as if to say now what. 'The tea cups hot so be careful, I don't want you to burn your hands.' Louis advised him making Harry chuckle.

'Louis i'm not five, I know that a tea cup is hot.' Harry said to which Louis nodded.

'Yeah I know, but I just don't want you to get hurt again by something caused by me. Or anything at all for that matter.' Louis said chewing on his bottom lip as he stared down at his lap. Harry turned to Louis and took Louis's hands into his own.

'Louis, let that go. It wasn't at all your fault okay? That was all me.' Harry said to Louis who shook his head.

'But-'

'No buts Louis. I don't want you to think you are the one who is responsible for that because you arent. You aren't the one who refused help when clearly it was needed, I was. You weren't the one who got lost, I was. You weren't the one who was an idiot and didnt just turn around, I was. But you know what you did do Louis? You saved me. If you weren't there, we both know what would have happened.'

'Zayn saved you Harry. That wasn't me.' Louis pointed out but Harry just shook his head.

'You were the one who found me Lou. You were the one who pulled me from that water, so hush up.' Harry told Louis and lightly pecked his lips again. When he pulled back, he reached out for the tea again and smiled when the cup was finally in his hands. 'The heat doesn't even bother me. It's nice and warm.' Harry said only making Louis smile. He then took a sip and smiled again at Louis. 'It's delicious thank you.' Louis nodded and then put his head into Harry's lap; laying on his side. 'Tired?' Harry asked. Louis nodded against Harry's legs. 'Sleep well.' Harry said placing a blanket over Louis's body. Louis nodded again and then closed his eyes to go back to sleep.

----------

Zayn took a walk around the camp in search of Niall. He had looked in every place but the beach. That was the only place left that he could possibly be. Sure enough, as Zayn neared closer to the shore he saw someone throwing rocks into the water. He knew this was Niall by the tuft of blonde hair on his head, and his failing attempt to skip rocks. Zayn took a deep breath and then walked over to Niall, who still hadn't noticed Zayn approaching him. Only when Zayn was standing beside him did he realize he was there. Niall seemed unfazed by Zayn's presence and just kept throwing the rocks into the lake. Zayn picked up a few rocks in his hand and started to throw them in as well. This kept on going for a while until Zayn spoke up.

'If you snap your wrist you'll be able to skip a rock.' Zayn told Niall who raised one eyebrow and then tried what Zayn said but failed again.

'It's no use.' Niall muttered quietly. 'I can't do it.' He said and then dropped the rocks in his hands and kicked them into the water. 'I'm not good at anything, i screw everything up. I can't even skip a damn rock let alone keep our relationship together.' Niall shouted and continued to kick at the sand. 'I'm sorry for being such a screw up okay? I'm sorry for not being good enough for you. I'm sorry okay?' Niall shouted making Zayn step forward and hug Niall.

'Just shut up and hold me.' Zayn said, and sighed in relief when he felt Niall's arms around him. He breathed in Niall's scent and felt tears at the corners of his eyes. When Niall heard Zayn sniffle he pulled back so that he still had his arms around Zayn but only their foreheads were touching. Niall brought one hand up to place it on Zayn's cheek, and wipe away a tear with his thumb.

'Zayn, I know sometimes I can be a pain in the ass. I'm not a big help around our flat. I'm lazy, and a smart-ass, and i'm sure some days you want to get rid of me. Im all those things but I have never lied to you Zayn. Ever.' Niall told Zayn who nodded slowly and let go of Niall to grab some more rocks to throw.

'I think I knew that the whole time, that you weren't lying. All of this has just been so stressful. This entire process, and with all the drama happening at the camp, my mind has just been complete havoc. I'm just ready to completely shut down and sleep and never wake up.' Zayn angrily threw a rock into the water. Niall quickly stepped forward and grabbed Zayn's hand.

'Hey shh. Don't say that. There's only about 10 days of camp left and then we'll be able to be in the city and sort things out alright? Can you just wait 10 days babe? And then i promise you as soon as we get home, you can take a break from everything and we'll have a week just us alone ok? Does that sound alright?' Niall asked, still holding Zayn's hand. He had stopped throwing rocks now and turned to face Niall.

'Yeah, okay.' Zayn nodded.

'Alright good, come give me a kiss, i missed you.' Niall pulled Zayn towards him and together they share a passionate, loving kiss.

-------------------------------------

'Louis?' Harry opened his eyes and felt around for Louis. Almost immediately, Louis placed his hands into Harry's.

'Yes babe?' Louis asked stroking Harry's palm with his thumb.

'Oh sorry did I wake you?' Harry asked apologetically. Louis shook his head and chuckled.

'I'd been awake for a few minutes already.' Louis informed him, to which Harry nodded.

'Do you know what time it is?' Harry asked stretching his arms above his head with a yawn. Louis looked at the clock above the fireplace and widened his eyes at the time.

'My goodness! It's 7pm the next day. We slept all through yesterday! We slept like an entire day Harry!' Louis told him sounding very surprised. Harry's eyebrows raised as well.

'Well that means it's been a day since the hike. Im not as cold anymore.' Harry informed Louis who shook his head.

'No no I don't want to talk about that.' Louis said still shaking his head so Harry lightly tapped Louis's hands.

'Alright, how about we talk about the fact that we only have about 9 days left.' Harry said making Louis shake his head again. Harry chuckled and shrugged. 'What would you like to talk about then?' Harry asked and Louis smiled.

'We could talk about how amazingly perfect my summer boyfriend is.' Louis said kissing Harry's nose making him laugh and blush.

'Or we could possibly talk about how amazingly amazing my summer girlfriend is.' Harry said making Louis's grin fade. He had completely forgotten about that, and a whole new wave of guilt rushed over him.

'Harry I really need to tell you something.' Louis slowly said taking Harry's hands into his. Harry raised his eyebrows waiting for Louis to go on. 'Well you see...'

'Styles!' A voice shouted from the entrance of the room. Only one person called him Styles. Hana. And in she came, quickly rolling her wheelchair to Harry. When she reached him she grabbed one of the couch cushions and started beating Harry with it.

'You stupid bloody idiot! How could you have been so stupid? Jeremy told me everything! You could have died you idiot!' Hana said shouted continuing to smack Harry with the pillow. Louis widened his eyes and grabbed the pillow from Hana. She glared at Harry breathing heavily and then suddenly reached for him and pulled him into a hug. 'Jesus i'm so glad you're okay.' She said; relieved. Harry laughed and kissed her cheek.

'I'm glad I am too. Thanks for attacking me with a pillow by the way. I really felt the love.' Harry joked as he and Hana broke apart from their hug. Hana laughed as well and lightly punched Harry on the shoulder. She then turned to Louis.

'As for you Louis...' Louis's whole body tensed; preparing for Hana to attack him with a pillow as well. Hana surprised him with something else. 'I couldn't be more thankful for you. Im really glad Harry found a girl like you.' When Hana said girl her smile disappeared but was quick to return. 'I can tell you make Harry happy, so thank you.' Hana said sincerely. Louis nodded and forced a smile in thanks. Still thinking about the huge secret he was hiding. Hana patted Harry's knee and then left. Once she was out of the room Harry smiled.

'She's right Lou. You do make me very happy.' Harry said and then raised his eyebrows. 'Oh yeah, you had something to tell me?' Harry remembered and Louis bit his lip re-thinking his options. He could either tell Harry, which would only end with them both upset for the last week of camp, or he could keep it a secret. Camp was almost over and they wouldn't see each other again. Quickly he made up his mind.

'Yeah I just wanted to tell you that uhm, i really am going to miss you.' Louis said, faking a smile. Harry pouted his lip, and pulled Louis into his arms.

'Awuh babe. I'll miss you too. Tons.'



A/N hmmmmm so Louis is still keeping up with the secret, when will he ever tell? How did you like the chapter? So we haven't learned much more about niall and zayn but can any of you guess whats happening with them?
