When I got up there, Jake and Gabby were already up there and laying on my bed. I closed my door and flopped between them with a loud 'ugh'

"Tell us what happened" Jake said with a sigh.

"Harry kissed me"

"WHAT?" they both said in unison while sitting up.

"We were at the park and I was teaching him how to long board and he was doing really well till I turned my head and tripped on a rock and was sent flying into him. We rolled for a bit but then he ended on top of me and we laughed for a little but then we made eye contact. It was as if it was happening in slow motion. I felt his lips touch mine and I hate to say it but I kissed back. And I liked it. We broke apart because of some kid yelling and then that was when we decided to head home. We haven't really spoken since. I'm afraid this will make things awkward between us."

"Freya," Gabby started "If you don't want things to be awkward, then don't let it. If you want you can act like nothing happened. I suggest you act like nothing happened and let him bring it up first. Let the chips fall where they may. Personally, I think you'd make a really good couple." I sat up and hugged her

"But if we did ever end up going out, how would Louis react? Those two are best friends. There's always the possibility of stuff not working out and then what would happen? There are so many things that could go wrong and wha-" I was cut off my a hand covering my mouth.

"Freya, you think too much." Gabby said with a slight smile. Just then we heard a knock at the door. I called to them to come in and Harry opened the door.

"Hi, um, I was wondering where you want me to put your board." He said as he took a step into the room.

"Oh just leave it on the wall next to my closet" I told him. He walked over and did exactly as told. When he got to the door he turned around again.

"We're doing a twit cam in a couple of minutes if you want to join." I nodded and he spoke again "oh and by the way, I had a lot of fun today. We should do it again some time" he said with a wink at the end before closing my door.

Gabby waited a few seconds before she spoke up "Frey, I have an idea. So they're doing that twit cam right? Well if want to know how Louis would react, Jake and I can be up here asking that question non stop until he answers it."

"Gabs, you're a genius. I should head down there now then. I'll see you guys later." I stood up and hugged them before I walked down the stairs and saw the boys already talking into the screen. I tip toed into the lounge and walked up behind Harry. He had a grey beanie on his head and I slowly reached out for it before tugging it over his head. The rest of the guys laughed and Harry got up and started chasing me around the room. We did a few laps before I jumped into his old spot on the couch. He sighed and picked me up only to place me on his lap. I looked at the screen and saw comments fly by. Every now and then I would see Gabby and Jake's comments. It took a little till Louis finally noticed.

"Hmm how would I react to Freya being in a relationship with somebody in the band. Well, I guess I would get a little angry. Okay maybe really angry. She's my baby sister and I don't want to share her with anybody. Also, considering the fact that all six of us share a place together, I would feel very uncomfortable with the thought that my sister and her boyfriend would be living under that same roof and doing... things... It just makes me uncomfortable. I'll leave it at that."

Makes sense. I stayed for another few minutes till I stole Harry's beanie and walked up the stairs. I barely got up the stairs before I was picked up and walked back to the lounge. "Now Freya, if you don't hand the beanie back over, I will put your head by Niall's butt until he farts on you. I suggest you hand it back over soon because he had Mexican for dinner."

"Noooooo!" I yelled while thrashing around in his arm. I hit my arm too hard on the table and felt the familiar trickle of blood on my arm. I can't let Harry see this. "Louis! Help me!" at first he thought I was joking but then he saw me glancing to my arm every now and then and told Harry to put me down. He followed me out of the lounge and into the kitchen where he examined my arm. A few cuts have reopened so he cleaned them off and wrapped them up.

"Frey, you need to stop doing this to yourself. You can't hide these from the boys much longer. It's getting hotter and hotter outside and you need to start wearing short sleeves. If the boys already know then it should be easier for you to get more comfortable in short sleeved clothing. Even if you don't want to have your scars out we can wrap them up. We would still need an explanation of why though. I won't make you do anything you don't want to do I'm just telling you what I suggest. I love you and I only want what's best for you."

I sighed looking to the the floor. "Louis, I will tell them but in my own time. I'll do it in two weeks. That gives me time to mentally prepare myself and it will also be the two month mark that I've been here. As for short sleeved clothing, that may take longer to get used to. I'm still afraid to show Gabby my scars. I'm so ashamed of them sometimes and I don't want people to pity me." Another sigh "I'll tell them. Just, just give me some time."

Louis nodded and let me walk back to my room. On my way there I slid the beanie I stole from Harry on my head. When I got to my room I saw that Gabby and Jake were still watching the boys twit cam. Louis was explaining that I had to tell him something but didn't want to do it on camera or something. I walked over to my full length mirror and checked me out.

I have to admit, I look kind of good in beanies. Why not take this opportunity to take a mirror selfie. I held my phone up and struck a casual pose. The first fifteen pictures didn't look right but at last I finally found a good one. I opened Instagram and clicked on the picture icon. I chose the photo and made the caption 'Selfies in Harry's hat' and also posted it to twitter. I sat down on the bed and scrolled through twitter. I came across a tweet from the one and only Harry Styles.

'Am I as cool as @FreyaTomlinson yet?' and attached was the picture of us from earlier. I clicked the reply button and wrote 'Not quite' and attached the picture I secretly took of him in mid air when he was falling off his long board. I heard and angry 'Freya' being yelled from downstairs so I darted out of my room knowing that he'll check that one first. I ran down the hall by two doors and made a right. I closed and locked the door behind me and slid under the bed. I was in Louis' room right now.

I heard feet pounding up the stairs and past the door and down the hall. I heard a couple other feet and I could hear Liam narrating every thing that's going on. He must have brought the lap top with them.

"As you can see, Harry is hunting down Freya for a picture she posted on twitter. Let's go check this out folks." I heard his footsteps descend further down the hallway. Harry must have realized that I wasn't in there because I soon heard the other doors in the hallway being opened. I then heard the jiggling of Louis' doorknob. I shouldn't have locked it! Now it's obvious I'm in here. "Looks like we found where Freya is." I heard a knock at the door and rolled out from under the bed to open the door.

When I did I saw seven people and a laptop. "Oh hey guys. What's going on?" I asked nonchalantly.

"Freya, you do know you're in my room, correct?"

I pretended to look on and take in my surroundings. "Huh, wow I really thought this was my room. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to the bathroom." I was able to slip past them before I started sprinting down the hallway.

"Not so fast Freya! I at least need revenge" Harry yelled after me. "Wait. I've got the perfect picture" I ran into my room locking the door and waited till I heard everybody go down the stairs. I unlocked my door for Gabby and Jake and went into my bathroom to you know.... do stuff on the toilet. I heard my bedroom door open and closed so I finished up in there and walked out to see Harry sitting on my bed.

"Oh hi Harry. What's going on?" I asked sitting on the bed across from him.

"We need to talk about what happened today."

"There's nothing to talk about. Unless you want to hang out and board again. Then yeah we should plan." I said trying to avoid the subject of our kiss.

"Freya, you know what I'm talking about." I furrowed at my eyebrows at him hoping that he would drop the subject. "Freya, I'm talking about our kiss."
