"Hello, love! I missed you so much."

My mum embraced me into a hug. She held onto me, standing on the tips of her toes to give me a kiss on the cheek. I hadn't realized how much I had grown since I last saw her. I smiled, looking down at her.

"I thought it might have just been the camera shots, but you really did get taller!"I chuckled at her, "So how was tour? Who's this new girl I have been seeing everywhere. Tell me everything."

My mum was like a big gossip girl. She didn't tell other people about my life since it's always out in the open but when she sees me or when I come home, she loves to know the inside scoop on everything.

"First, where's Gemma?" I asked, looking around the house for my annoying sister.

"She should be home soon," My mom said. She took me into the kitchen, giving me homemade chocolate chip cookies that she made. I moaned when I took the first bite, no one could cook like my mum and I've missed that. The lads don't know how to cook, maybe besides Louis. He did make me chicken stuffed with mozzarella wrapped in parma ham with homemade mashed potatoes and gravy.

"MUM IS HAROLD HOME YET?" My sister screamed. She wasn't even inside the house for a minute and she was already annoying me, but I love her anyway.

"Yes he is," My mom stated as soon as Gemma walked into the kitchen. She came over to me, pinching my cheeks.

"I missed you little brother." She pulled me in for a hug.

"I missed you too, Gem."

Gemma took the seat across from me, folding her hands onto the table, "So who is this mystery girl that stole your heart?"

"Well her name is Kaylee Hampton. She is best friends with Niall. All the guys girls were coming onto the vacation with us so Niall asked if he could bring his friend, Darianna, who he is in love with. Then he asked if her friend, his childhood best friend, could come with. So naturally Paul said yes because the more the merrier. Anyway, we met the girls at the airport in the Bahamas. The guys rekindled with their girls and then all that was left was Niall, Dar, Kaylee, and I. Niall introduced the girls to us and he hugged her. It was awkward at first."

"How was it awkward?" My mum asked, interrupting my story.

"She didn't know any of us. We met Dar before but never Kaylee. After we met at the airport, Paul took us to the hotel which was amazing. We had the biggest room there. It seemed more like a small apartment then a hotel room. There were five rooms and ten of us. Liam, Louis, and Zayn bunked with their girlfriends. We asked the girls if they wanted to room with each other but Dar wanted to room with Niall. So all that was left was one room and Kaylee and I ended up bunking together.

"Then later that day, we went out to the ocean. The girls were tanning so I came up with the idea to pick them up and throw them into the ocean. I picked Kaylee up and threw her right in. She came up and had this frown on her face. She came closer to me, tricked me, and pushed me back so I stumbled and fell under the water. When I came back up, she was laughing. The sun captured her the right way and right then and there I fell in love with her." By the end of my mini story, my mum was tearing up and my sister had a huge cheesy smile on her face.

"Mum why are you crying and Gemma why are you looking at me like that?"

My mum answered first, "Well because you're always viewed as the womanizer. What you just told me, is what the media should actually say. I know you get hated on and I know what the media says affects you, but hearing what you just said, makes my heart melt. Harry, I hear you sometimes at night crying. It's okay to cry, it won't make you weak, it will make you stronger. What you just said about Kaylee, makes me realize that you two will probably make it till the end." My mum let a few tears escape her eyes. She wiped them away quickly, smiling the whole time.

"Gemma, why are you looking at me like that?"

Gemma smiled some more before saying, "This is the first time you've ever been in love and I can't wait to meet her to show all the embarrassing pictures to her and share the stories about young Harold to her. I always thought you were gay and that you and Louis had a thing for each other."

I blushed, stumbling over my words. It was one time Louis and I kissed and Gemma had walked in on it. We were sixteen and eighteen and experimenting. I looked at Gem, "Whatever."

Gemma's smile widened, "Do I know my brother or what?"

I shrugged, "Gender doesn't really matter to me and you guys know that."

Gemma nodded. She didn't care who I fell in love with as long as they loved me and treated me right. Gemma has always been there for me in fact, our fandom came up with #GemmaIsTheBetterStyles. I guess she is, but I would never admit that.,

But I looked at my family, it might not be big but it's still something and it might be a little broken but they're still my family and I love them very much. I didn't realize how much I missed being home until Gemma started complaining about my height and how it wasn't fair that I was taller than her.

This is something to remember and cherish forever.

That is until a phone call ruins it all...
