So after the kiss, I decided I couldn't work on my homework and it would be best for me to just go to bed. I got up from my position facing Niall and proceeded with my bedtime routine.

After I returned, Niall was in his spot in the bed and was already for some well needed sleep. I turned out the lights, and said good night to Niall. Within minutes, Niall was asleep. I really was tired, but who could fall asleep after something like that just happened. I kept playing it back in my mind. It was a really good kiss. But he is my sister's boyfriend. I'm really torn. I've never been this confused about anything before. It's not even the fact that Niall is a boy, because like I said; I'm very open minded about that kind of thing, but I don't want to hurt Gemma.

I lay in bed for about an hour replaying the images, before I decided it was a lost cause to try and sleep. I got out of bed, and went down to the kitchen for a snack. I opened the refrigerator, and got the milk out then, proceeded to the cupboard where we keep the cookies, and got a few Oreo's. I sat in silence eating them, and soon, I was thinking of the kiss again. I'm never going to get this out of my head unless I tell someone. But who could I tell that would keep a huge secret like this? I thought long and hard between my best friends, and I decided that all of them would keep my secret, but Liam would probably be the best one to get advice from on the subject. And I could definitely use some good advice.

I headed back upstairs, after my heartbeat finally settled down from the kiss and my eyes were getting heavy. I got back in bed and snuggled under the covers, only to feel Niall's body heat radiating in the blankets. It was soothing, and soon I found myself drifting off into a deep sleep.

************

My alarm clock sounded. I shut it off quickly, trying not to wake Niall. Who am I kidding? That dude could sleep through a heavy metal concert. I got up slowly from my bed, regretting having to wake up., but it's almost time for school.

When I got there, I saw the lads standing in the courtyard talking, so I naturally joined them. The bell for the first class of the day rang and the boys started to scatter, heading for their first class grabbed Liam's shoulder before he was able to get away.

"Hey, do you think you and I could go somewhere after school and talk? It's really important." I asked him.

"Yeah, sure mate!" He said with concern in his eyes. He could always tell when something was wrong.

"Thanks man. Meet up with you later then." I said with a small smile.

Liam gave me an agreeing nod, and we went our separate ways.

The day went by fast, and I was supposed to meet Liam in the car park by his car, as he was going to be driving.  When the last bell rang to dismiss us from school, I grabbed my bag and rushed out the door to Liam's car. I only stood there for a couple minutes, before Liam got there.

"So where do you want to go to talk?" He asked with a smile.

"Umm.. Can we go somewhere that we can be sure no one will over hear us?" I asked.

"Yeah, sure. I know the perfect spot! Jump in!" He replied.

We drove about 5 miles away from the school to an old back road that led to the edge of a lake in the middle of the woods. We used to come here when we were small, and ride our bikes on the paths made in the forest.

"Okay mate, what's up?" He said giving me a serious look.

"Well Niall was helping me with a book repot last night, and one thing led to another, and we kind of made out..." I trailed off.

"Wait! You did what?!? Can I get a little more detail on how this happened? Does Gemma know? Oh my God this is bad Harry!" He said, his voice a little rushed.

I started from the moment we got home, and explained how everything escalated. I also told him that Gemma didn't know, and she can never know.

"What should I do Liam?" I made a horrible mistake, but I wouldn't take it back if I could... I liked it too much, and now I'm a horrible brother and if Gemma ever finds out she'll hate me forever..." I rambled, tears forming in my eyes.

"Hey, hey! Gemma could never hate you. You're her baby brother. I'm not saying she wouldn't be pissed at you for a while, but that's understandable. But she would never hate you." Liam said rubbing his hand on my knee for comfort.

"Yeah, but what should I do? I really like him, and it can't work. And I'm sharing a bed room with him until they go back to school in a couple weeks, and I just..." I trailed off getting frustrated with my actions.

"My best advice to you is to try your best to not let it happen again. You're a smart kid Harold, you can figure all this out on your own. And if you want, I can stay at your house a couple nights, that way you don't have to be alone with him, and you aren't tempted to do anything."

"That would be great!" I said smiling though unshed tears. "You are the only person I know who always has a solution to everything."

"No, just you're everyday best friend, doing his job." Liam replied with a smile and a wink. "Now, what do you say me and you go grab some dinner? I'm starving!"

He added.

"That sounds great! My treat!" I smiled

"And that sounds even better to me!" Liam said laughing.

We soon found our way out of the woods, and back into town. I let Liam decide where to eat. He chose a sports bar downtown. It's a good place to get a couple burgers and some chips.

After we ate, we went by Liam's house so he could get some clothes for the next couple days, and we headed back to my place.

Mom and robin were in the living room watching tv when we got there.

"Hey mom, Liam's parents are out of town for a couple days, is it okay if he crashes here?" I ask politely.

"I don't know why you ask me! Liam is like a second son, he doesn't need permission to stay." She said smiling at Liam.

"Thank you Anne." Liam said sweetly back to my mom. Sometimes I think she likes him more than me!

We soon went upstairs, and put Liam's bags away. There was no sign of Niall, so

I'm guessing him and Gemma had gone out or something.

Liam and I lay across my bed, just talking. Talking about anything and everything. Liam is such an insightful person. I could literally just sit and talk to him about nothing for days. It was around 9:00 at night and Niall and

Gemma had just got back in.

"Hey mate!" Liam said to Niall as he went to sit down on the bed.

"What's happenin Liam?" Niall responded politely.

"Nothing much, seems we'll be having a slumber party the next few days." Liam said happily.

"Awesome! Sounds like a blast!" Niall said excitedly. There was a moment of silence before Niall spoke again.

"Hey Harry, can a talk to you alone for a minute?" He asked nervously.

"Sure thing!" I said getting off the bed and giving Liam a nervous look before we went out into the hall.

A/n so I’ve come to the conclusion that im shit at updating regularly.. sorry :/
