***Harry's POV***

'Tell me,' Jenna's Dad said as soon as he noticed his daughter was asleep. I ran my fingers through Jenna's hair as I tried to come up with a way of saying no, without being offensive. 'Please Harry, I need to know,' John pleaded with me. 'I can't,' I answered. 'I honestly can't.' 'Why?' John eyed me suspiciously. 'Because she won't tell me,' I frowned, looking down at my girlfriend who was sleeping peacefully. 'What has she told you?' 'What she told you and her mum, with slightly more detail,' I grimaced at the memory. 'Trust me, you really don't want to know,' I tried to comfort Jenna's dad who looked offended at the fact his daughter didn't want to share with him. 'Want to know what?' Jenna muttered sleepily, startling us both. 'Nothing sweetheart,' I smiled as she looked up at me. Jenna moved up the bed so she was sat up, head on my shoulder. 'Go back to sleep,' John instructed kindly. 'I'm not...' 'You are, go to sleep baby,' I cut her off before she could say she wasn't tired. 'Sing,' she ordered, snuggling into me. 'Will you sleep?' I asked. 'Maybe.' 'What song will make you sleep?' I asked myself more than her. There was no reply from my normally vocal girlfriend, I glanced at down at her. 'When he opens his arms and holds you close tonight, it just won't feel right, cause I can't love you more than this, when he lays you down I might just die inside, it just don't feel right, cos I can't love you more than this, yeah,' I sang softly, wrapping my arms around Jenna and pulling her close. 'I love you,' she breathed. 'I love you too,' I murmured, pressing my lips to her forehead as her eyes fluttered shut. 'You mean that?' John asked quietly, so he didn't wake Jenna. 'With all my heart,' I replied. 'Except the bit for your cat,' Jenna mumbled. I laughed, 'Sleep!' 

A few minutes later, when Jenna was actually alseep, John tried again, 'Tell me what you know.' 'John, I am really sorry, but it's Jenna's to tell. Plus I really don't want to have to think about it more than I already am. I don't want anyone else to have the thoughts I'm having,' I shivered. 'I come bearing gifts!' Louis announced, as Ariana opened the door. Well I think it's Louis. May possibly a talking pile of stuff on legs... No such luck, it's Boo. 'Asleep?' Ariana smiled at me and Jenna. I nodded slightly. Louis dumped the stuff he was carrying on the end of the bed, and flopped in the chair next to me. Ariana let him pull her onto his lap and he kissed her. I wish that was me. Okay, sounds odd, but I wish that was me kissing Jenna. We should be laughing in our tent now, I shouldn't be cradling her in my arms on a hospital bed, after she got raped, with her dad watching our every move. She thinks I don't notice her flinch when someone moves quickly, or somone she doesn't know gets too close. I've noticed how she squeezes my hand tighter when anyone talks to her. The nurse said she probably wouldn't even want to touch me, not like that dirty minded buggers, might not even want to talk to me. Maybe that's why I was content just holding hands and being close to each other before. Now I want to feel her lips pressing against mine, then pulling away before I can respond. I just want to hold her like I did last night. 'What happened last night?' Jenna's Mum asked, snapping me away from my thoughts. 'Huh? Sorry what?' I replied, blinking. 'You said I just want to hold her like I did last night. What happened last night?' Louis informed me slowly, eyes wide. 'Oh nothing, I was thinking about song lyrics,' I lied casually. 'Harry, can I have a word outside?' Louis asked, nodding at the door. 'Ari?' I answered. Ariana took my place next to Jenna and I followed Louis from the room. 'Song lyrics?' Louis raised his eyebrows. 'What? I was hardly gonna tell them I took their daughter's virginity,' I defended my excuse, blushing furiously. 'They know you're almost eighteen right?' Louis said, leaning against the wall. 'Yeah,' I nodded. 'Okay. So you actually did it then?' 'No, it's just one massive lie,' I said sarcastically. 'It's not a joke Harry,' Louis replied sternly. 'You're not mad are you?' I asked, scared of his answer. 'Why would I be mad?' Louis asked, bemused. 'Harry, get in here now,' Ariana ordered, opening the door quickly. I glanced at Louis and gathered from the look on his face, this conversation was not over. I turned away from my best friend and walked into the hospital room.
