"So, are the ladies into a movie marathon this afternoon?" Louis asks, sliding into the seat next to yours at lunch.
"Sorry, I'm shooting with Harry today." You tell him.
"Still with that? You never hang out with us anymore." He pouts and you hit him, "Hey!"
"Such a liar! I'm always with you guys here." You laugh.
"Don't worry Lou-Lou, she won't disappear." Emma mocks him.
"Try and call me that again, I dare you."
You all laugh.
"What about this, reschedule that marathon and I'll offer you a latte at Fine Line, what do you think?" You suggest and Louis jumps to hug you.
"You've always been my favourite, y/n." He says, which causes him to get hit by a fry from Emma, "Ouch! Stop fucking bullying me!"

"Hey you." Harry smiles when you meet him after school.
"Hi." You return the greet, "So, what's today's plan?"
"You should know by now I like to surprise you."
You roll your eyes, "Come on! Just one time?"
"Not a chance, love." He chuckles, "But just to check, are you afraid of water?"
"Uh, no?"
"Good." He wink and starts driving.
Harry drives for about twenty minutes. When you get out of the car, you see nothing but a forest.
"Is this when you kidnap me?" You joke.
"Oops, you caught me." He laughs.
"We're in the middle of nowhere."
"Don't you trust me?"
His bright green eyes meet yours, and you smile, "Yeah. I guess I do. You're a good friend."
"Then follow me."
"I have a question." You say quietly as Harry guides you through the woods.
"Shoot."
"I understand if it's none of my business, but I see you're really committed to winning the contest's prize... Why?"
Harry stops and turns to look at you, before sighing, "It's not a happy story. I need the money to help save my house."
"Hum, what?!"
"It's complicated. My parents divorced a while ago, my dad left, and now he wants to take our house, just because he can. I never thought he would do anything like this. My mother is stressing about it, that's why I need to win the contest. I can't let that bastard take everything from us."
Your heart aches at Harry's words. You could only imagine what him and his mother were going though, since you lived happily with your family.
"It's just... They used to be so in love, I would never in a million years think that this could happen." He finishes. You notice his eyes begin to water, so you run and wrap your arms around him, without a second thought. He seems surprised by your actions, but doesn't hesitate to hug you back.

"Well then we better win this thing, right?" You whisper, feeling a shiver due to Harry's laugh. You pull away and take his hand, "Let's go."

"Here we are." Harry says when you finally reach your destination.
"Wow." You gasp, your eyes widening in awe when you look at the spot in front of you. There's a beautiful lake with crystal clear water, with a little woody trail for people who want to sit and admire or jump for a swim. It was absolutely breathtaking.
"I knew you'd like it." Harry smiles, "My models always get the better sets to photograph."
You blush slightly, laughing, "Oh my, can't wait to start."
"Glad you're saying that, because my idea is a little wild." Harry bites his bottom lip.
"When isn't it anyway?" You shrug playfully. You've shot with Harry a few times now, so you were starting to get familiar with his peculiar visions.
The curly boy giggles, "Good point. So, I need you to sit there, get barefoot and turn your back to the lake."
You do as you're told, sitting on the wood floor right above the water.
"Great, now I need you to let yourself fall back slowly and touch the water."
"Excuse me, what?" You gasp.
"You heard me."
"You're crazy."
"Thought you knew that already."
"Harry, I can fall into the water! I mean I can swim, but-"
"I'll hold your feet, don't worry."
"I..."
"You still trust me, right?"
"Of course."
"I'll keep you safe, I promise."
You take a deep breath while Harry sets his camera countdown so he can hold you as the photo is taken.
"Whenever you're ready." He gives you a warm smile that transmits you safety, and as you feel a light breeze passing through your hair, you close your eyes, open your arms and let yourself fall slowly.
Harry's hands are firmly attached to your feet, and he feels his smile widening when he watches you delicately touch the lake with your back, as if you're floating. A click is heard from his camera.
"Okay, you can get back up now!" He tells you, and you do so, shaking your body a bit so you don't get so wet.
"That felt bloody amazing!" You shout, making Harry laugh.
He looks at his camera, winking at you right after, "And right at the first attempt. You have so much potential for this, y/n."
