*{MADISONS POV}*

Harry's words rang through my ears.

He's in love with me?

Things started to click in my head- that explained a lot, his hatred of Luke, all the random acts of jealousy.

"I know you probably don't feel the same way," he whispered to me, "but it was time I told you. The emotions.. they were getting too strong."

I couldn't speak, the words caught in my throat as I tried to explain myself.

My brain was screaming at me, but I did something I most definitely would not have done to anyone before this boy walked into my life.

I stepped closer to him. We looked at each other for a brief second before I leaned in. And I kissed him. 

He didn't respond at first, I guess I'd shocked him a bit, but he began to kiss back. Slowly at first but then full-on.

We backed up into my room and he kicked the door closed behind him.

He kept walking with me, not breaking the kiss, till we reached my bed and he laid down on top of me.

His hands cupped my face as mine tugged on his thick hair causing him to moan slightly into the kiss.

Nothing but this boy and the fact that we were on my bed making out was on my mind.

I moved my hands down to his chest and I could feel his toned abs through the tight sweatshirt he was wearing.

He broke the kiss for a second to take it off and I saw them.

My mind started functioning normally and I realized what the hell we were actually doing.

"Wait, Harry," I said before he could reattach his lips to mine.

His brow furrowed before he realized what was going on.

"Oh, um I uh-" he stammered trying to find a reasonable excuse but clearly failing.

"I know Harry," I whispered, "But listen we need to talk. I went to Niall's today, I know everything."

The confused expression on his face grew deeper along with a mix of anger across it.

"But, how?" He managed.

"Niall.." I began, "I kind of suspected something this morning after I saw the blades in the bathroom. So I called up Niall and he came and got me from school, he took me back to his house. He told me about it all, but he made me promise not to tell anyone. He didn't want you to think he'd betrayed you or something."

"Was that you in the kitchen he was talking to then when I came over?" he asked.

I simply nodded, afraid he'd be angry.

"Don't be mad at Niall, I just wanted to know," I told him.

He rolled over so he was lying next to me in the bed facing me, "I'm not mad, I trust you. It makes it easier since I won't be the one to have to tell you."

He gave me a small smile before leaning in and kissing my lips softly.

"I really do care about you, Mads." He smiled looking down at our intertwined hands.

"I think... I think I may have some feelings for you too Harry." I said causing his smile to grow wider.

He leaned in again but this time the kiss was stronger.

Our hands broke apart and he went to the belt loops of my jeans as mine went to his chest.

I could feel him smile into the kiss before he broke it and took off his shirt.

He reconnected his lips to my neck as his hands traveled up my shirt, mine doing the same to his toned stomach and chest.

I felt his hands reach the hook of my bra in the back and my mind caught up with my actions.

"Harry, we can't," I whispered.

He brought his eyes up to meet mine, I'd never seen his green eyes with so much passion in them, so much feeling.

"You don't want to, you mean." He simply stated.

"No... I want to. But I have a boyfriend." Not to mention the fact our parents are going to get married and we will be.... step siblings. 

Okay, that sounds really bad.

As much as I want to have sex with my soon to be step brother, I won't because I have a boyfriend.

When did my life get this screwed up?

"So dump him!" Harry blurted.

"I can't.." I croaked, "Plus, what are we going to do? Tell our parents they can't get married because we're dating? I know we're not related, but it still seems kind of sick to be in love with your stepbrother or sister. And we can't ask our parents to sacrifice their marriage"

"You're right," he mumbled, "But I love you Madison, I want to be with you."

"I know, I do too."

"You do?" He asked clearly surprised.

I nodded, "I realized that during the second make out, all the mean things I've done and said were really just me trying to convince myself that I didn't like you."

He smiled again, "Well what should we do?"

I shrugged, "I don't know."

"Then let's date, only in secret."

"Secret dating?" I laughed.

"Yeah, that way no one will suspect anything."

"You do realize that means I'd be cheating on Luke... And you can't beat the shit out of him if he comes over or you see him kissing me."

His fists clenched, "I'm willing to put up with that in order for us to have a shot. I want to figure this out."

I nodded, "Okay then,"

"So Mads," He winked, "Would you do me the honor of being my secret girlfriend?"

I rolled my eyes, "Do I even have to say yes?"

He laughed before kissing me once more, "I guess not."
