* Issys POV*

" Hello?", I asked, answering my phone, before putting on my seatbelt while Harry got into the car.

" Yea, yea mom I'm fine I'm okay", I told her, sending Harry a reassuring smile when he heard my words, watching as he began to back out of the hospital parking lot.

" Yes mom I know it's out there, and I'm sorry I didn't tell you but he's going back to America for chemo starting today", I told her, playing with the end of my jacket.

" Okay, love you too, bye mom", I said, ending the call.

" How's she taking it?", Harry asked me, turning onto the next street.

" She's really upset with Jordan and about what happened and how it's in the media, but she knows I can deal with it she's just worried", I explained, taking a sip of water.

" Oh alright, well I wish we could of celebrated your birthday today, but I'll make it up to you another day, since I know you have to rest", he said, turning down the radio.

" Thank you, but you don't have anything to make up to me, you just being here is enough and what you guys did for me yesterday was the best present ever", I told him, laying my hand over his as he parked the car into my driveway, smiling at me.

" I didn't even do anything , we sang you a song and gave you a bottle of perfume", he said, slightly chuckling.

" Yea, that might be all you did, but it means more than the world to this directioner, especially since you were there, the little things matter Harry", I said, kissing his lips, earning a soft moan from him.

" Mmm I've missed that", he whispered, slowly caressing my cheeks, before making his way around the car to open my door.

" You can lean on me if you need help", he said to me as we made our way up the steps.

" No it's alright I can walk", I told him as he let us into the house.

" Listen Em and Dave said they could stay a whole week to take care of you since I have to go tomorrow", he said, helping me sit down on the couch.

" What? Your leaving tomorrow?", I asked him, making space for him to sit down next to me.

" Yeh, I told you that remember?", he questioned, sitting next to me.

" Oh yea, I guess I forgot. The free time that we have together always seems so short", I said, laying on his shoulder as he wrapped one arm around my waist.

" Yeh, I know it sucks but we always make the most of our time. And I know you have to rest during most of it, but it doesn't matter I come here for you and as long as I'm with you, it's okay", he said, making room for me to lay down on his lap.

" Thanks babe, I feel the same way", I told him, closing my eyes.

I stirred in my sleep, beginning to wake up from my nap. I looked down at the couch beneath me, seeing I was no longer laid across Harry's lap. I got up, hearing noises from the kitchen, entering in.

" Hey love", he said, placing a plate next to the stove.

" Hey", I responded, grabbing a water bottle from the fridge, sitting down on the stool.
