Harry's POV-

I wake up to the sound of a morning bird song, I groan and stretch out my arms before rubbing the sleep shit from eyes. I look down to my left and smile, she's still there sleeping peacefully.

I heard her wake up around four a.m and when she lifted her head I thought she was just going to leave. But she didn't. She stayed. She stayed with me, in my arms. I pinch my arm just to check that I'm not dreaming, which was a stupid idea because I'm now left with a finger mark in my lower arm. But she's still there.

I gently untangle my legs and arms from Lia's and make a move towards the door, so I can start my morningly routine.

I finish up in the bathroom before returning, quietly, to my room. I look at the peacefully sleeping Lia and then to the alarm clock and back to Lia. I walk over to her and start to shake her.

"Lia," I whisper, not wanting to wake my family up if they're still in bed. "Lia!" Finally she wakes up

She stretches her arms out before rubbing the sleep from her eyes, just the way I did minutes ago.

"Morning," She looks gorgeous in the mornings, not that she doesn't any other time.

"It's time to get up, I'm going to wake Sinead. I'll meet you in the kitchen for breakfast, okay?" She nods her head in response, I rummage through my drawers to find her one of my t-shirts and some joggers. I chuck them at her,

"Put these on, you can borrow the uniform from Sinead if you want?" She nods her head again, this way she won't have to go home to change so then she won't be late for school.

I open the door, shutting it behind me so Lia can get dressed. I quietly walk down to Sinead's room, knocking on the door and walking in simultaneously.

"Oi, wake up! Lia's borrowing your spare uniform today!" I tell her not bothering to ask her, she seems ok with it. "Sinead!" I shake her in an attempt to wake her up, not that it works.

"Fuck sake," She stirs slightly but continues to snore "Leonardo DiCaprio is waiting for you in the living room!" She jumps up at the mention of Leonardo DiCaprio.

"Fuck you Harry! One day Harry, one day!" She points her index finger at me, while walking backwards towards the bathroom.

"Oh, Lia is borrowing your spare uniform today!" I call after her.

I laugh at what just happened while making my way downstairs and towards the kitchen. I'm stopped by the doorbell ringing, who the fuck is at the door at half seven in the morning? I turn around and walk towards the door, debating whether I can really be bothered to answer it or not. I open it, to be greeted by a fist to the face.

"What the fuck, mate?" I shout towards the person who just punched me while wiping the blood from my nose. "Who are you anyway?"

"I'm Lia's brother!" He takes another swing at me, this time I can see it coming so I dodge it. He takes another swing at me and another and another, each stopped by own fist clenching around his.

"Pete Watters, stop!" I turn around to find Lia running down the stairs, clearly trying not to trip up.

I turn back around to face Pete, who clearly hasn't learned his lesson. I'm one step ahead of him, stopping his fist from connecting with my face once again. Lia steps in front of me, using her height as an advantage. Even though she still isn't as tall as me, she's clearly a couple of inches taller than Pete.

"Stop!" She tries once again, this time he listens and balls his fists up at his side.

"How do you know where I live?" I ask him, wondering how he managed to find out where I live. It's clear they're new people to the village.
