Harry's POV:

She shook her head. " Harry.. If you like me, you like me. It took a lot of courage for you to do that, and I respect that. I'm not going to forget this, but I'm not gonna let it ruin our.. friendship. "

It hurt that all we could ever be was friends. I know Niall really loved her and he would never do anything bad to her.. but I love her too. It's not fair.

" Thank you Jenna. " I said quietly.

She nodded and turned to walk away. I grabbed her arm. " Please don't tell Niall. " I said. If he found out, he'd kill me. Literally.

She sighed. " Okay. " I let her arm slip out of my hand as she walked to the cafe across the lobby. I sat down on the floor and leaned against the wall.

I still couldn't believe I actually did that. I swore to myself the day that we met that I wouldn't let my secret slip out. And now it has.

Niall's POV:

I rolled over and reached for Jenna. When my arms grasped nothing but air, my eyes flew open. I sat up and looked around the room. Liam was on his laptop and Jenna was nowhere to be found.

I looked at the clock. It was already 9:30. I got up and walked into the kitchen. She wasn't there either.

" Hey Liam, where's Jenna? " I called.

" I don't know, I think she went downstairs. " He called back.

I went to grab my hoodie, but it wasn't there. I looked all around and couldn't find it, so I assumed she took it. Liam let me take his key card and I left to go downstairs.

As I pushed the down button, the doors opened and Harry stepped out. I was confused as to why he was down there also, but I didn't put much thought into it. He was probably just getting a bite to eat.

He nodded towards me as I stepped into the lift. I pushed the G for ground and waited. The elevator was playing stupid music that just bothered me.

I finally got down to the ground floor. I tried to think of all the places she could be. There's the pool, but it's Autumn and it's probably freezing. There's a laundromat, but what would she be doing there at 9:30? The only other place I could really think of was that little 24-hour cafe.

The door made a 'ding' when I opened it and the beautiful brown eyes I was looking for looked up at me. She was the only one in the cafe, so she was easy to spot.

" Thought if find you here. " I smiled and slid into the booth next to her.

She gave me a small smile. " I just wanted to get some food "

I nodded. We sat in silence for a long time as she picked at her food. I could tell there was something bothering her. I decided to ask.

" Is there something wrong? "

She stared down at her food and shrugged. I was kind of getting agitated from not knowing what was wrong with her. I let out a sigh.

" At least eat your food instead of just staring at it. "

She shook her head and stood up. She walked over to the counter and paid for her meal then left. I got up and followed after her.

" Hey, " I said wrapping my arms around her small waist. I turned her around in my arms and cupped my hand on her cheek.

" Please tell me. "

She averted her eyes from mine as she spoke. " I had a weird dream last night.. it's just been bothering me. "

She was such a terrible liar. I knew she was lying, and that wasn't what was bothering her. But I decided not to push her. I softly placed my lips on hers.

We stood intwined like this for a while until she pulled away, looking down at the floor again. I sighed and let go of her. " What now? " I asked.

" I don't know Niall, I don't know. "
