I like Harry. I mean, I think I like Harry. He was a royal pain in my ass when I first met him, but he's getting better. But, I always told myself I'd never be with him, and I'm sticking to that. I know he never said anything about it, but I still think it's almost like he's hinting at it. Maybe? No. Of course not. That's crazy.

I talked to Harry about my date with Danny tonight, and he said as long as it's a friendly dinner, he'll cope with it. So now, I'm riding in Danny's car going to the lake. His car is very nice. It smells like a new car. Danny is very handsome if you were to simply glance at him. He has light brown hair, with brown eyes. His eyes are not as gorgeous as Harry's. No, stop. Don't compare Danny to Harry. You're with Danny, not Harry. This is simply friendly.

"You're quiet. Everything alright?" Danny smiles faintly, pulling me out of my thoughts. I turn to look at him. "Sorry, I have a lot on my mind." He only nods as we pull up to a small lake house. "My family and I used to come here when I was little. It belongs to my grandmother." Danny informs me when he opens the door for me. "Really? That's very cool." I say quietly.

"Yeah. My grandfather built it for her." He continues while grabbing a picnic basket out of the car. I followed behind him as we walk down to the dock.

"So, tell me about yourself." Danny says once we're sitting down. I swallow the bite of my sandwich I had just taken. "Um, well what do you want to know?" I ask.

He shrugs, "Tell me about.. Harry." I nearly choke on my drink and my eyes widen. "Excuse me?" I'm so confused. He smiles indefinitely. "I know you like him. So why are you with me, instead of him?" He asks. He's scooting closer and I'm not liking it.

"I, uh, I don't know what you're talking about Danny." I reply. He laughs dryly. His laugh isn't as fulfilling as Harry's. Stop thinking about Harry, Addyylyn.

"Oh dear, but you do. See, I know about your little affair. You like Harry, Harry likes you. Or, does he? If I remember correctly, he had a girlfriend. Allison, was it? Oh my, was she beautiful. But, Allison was ripped from his grip. She was taken from him. Do you think he wants the same thing to happen to you?"

My heart falls into the pit of my stomach at the mention of Allison. Harry loved her. Harry isn't a big person on love. He's not very familiar with it.

"I don't know. Maybe he doesn't like me. But he didn't like Allison. He loved her. And I could never replace her, even if I wanted too." I finally reply. He nods with a weary look in his eye.

"So you don't want to replace Allison? You don't want to be the one who gets to be with Harry?" Danny asks. What exactly is he trying to get out of me?

"No. I don't want to replace Allison." I breath. A wicked grin grows on his face.

"Hm. Well, alright then."

Harry's POV

"I don't know, Liam. Fuck, I'm in too deep with this one." I mutter. Liam takes the beer bottle out of my hand and places it on the coffee table.

"Haz, listen to me. You need to calm down." Liam says calmly. I need to calm down? She's on a date with Danny. Danny is very, very bad news. I couldn't tell her that without having to explain everything else.

"I can't calm down, Liam. Something bad could happen to her and it'd be my fault." I elaborate. He shakes his head.

"Let's go." He says, grabbing his keys from the kitchen counter. I raise an eyebrow.

"Go where?" I ask. He rolls his eyes and walks towards the door.

"To the lake, so you can explain to your little girlfriend why you're an idiot." He says sarcastically.

"She's not my girlfriend. And I'm not an idiot. I thought if she knew, she'd be put in more danger." I answer truthfully.

"Look, whatever you two are, I don't care. But we need to get to the lake before Danny tries anything. Did she tell you the address?" Liam asks. He's right. Danny is almost as evil as Tyler himself.

"Yeah. She told me yesterday." I say as I close the passenger side door. We ride to the lake house in silence. What if Addyylyn is hurt? What if Danny is brainwashing her with bullshit that Tyler had told him? What if Tyler is there also?

I don't realize we're at the destination when I'm pulled out of my thoughts. "You ready, bro?" Liam asks. An emotion flashes through his features that I can't quite decipher.

I nod, following Liam out of the vehicle. As we walk down to the dock I hear a scream. "Addyylyn!" I yell, running down the wooden pier.

When she finally comes into view a new emotion boils to the surface, replacing the fear. Anger. She was in the water laughing at something Danny had said.

"Harry?" She asks. Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion, she has a small smile, playing on her lips.

"Hi, love. Uh, I'm sorry. I'll just. I'll see you later." I say turning back around and walking up the hill. Liam stands with his arms crossed and a scowl on his face.

"Oh fuck no. You better go back down there and-"

"Harry, what are you doing- oh hi Liam." She smiles. Her hair is cascaded down her back. She has no makeup on and her small bikini barely covers her bum. I don't like Danny getting to see her this way. Or Liam for that matter.

"Look, I need to tell you about Danny." I say quickly.

"Tell her what about me?" Danny asks, a smirk pulling at his lips. Addyylyn turns to look at him before turning back to me. She crosses her arms over her chest and leans her weight to one side.

"I'm listening." She says.

"Remember your ex-boyfriend Tyler? The one who killed my Allison? That was a lie. Well, kind of. Allison is dead. It is Tyler's fault, but Tyler didn't pull the trigger. Danny did." I explain. The hurt is spread across her beautiful features.

She steps closer to me and I wrap my arms around her. "You're a bastard. Fuck you." She says into my chest. She looks up at me and smiles. So, she was talking to Danny? I assume so.

Danny tries to step closer, but I push her behind me. "Stay the fuck away from her." I spit. He frowns and steps even closer. I push him back and clench my fist.

"I suggest you listen to me. She doesn't want you. So just do yourself a favor and save yourself the embarrassment." I laugh breathlessly. He snorts and walks back down the dock.

"Way to go Haz." Liam smiles.
