Harry’s POV

“I love you.” She replied pecking my lips. “Forever.” she added. I smiled and gave her a nod.

“Alright, well, now that the show is over can we all go back inside?” Niall asked walking over to us placing one of his hands on my shoulder.

“Yes” Elizabeth smiled at him.  I wrapped my arm around Niall giving him a hug, before stepping back and ruffled up his hair.

“Hey!” He whined with a trace of a smile on his lips. “I hate it when you do that. You make me feel like a kid” he said trying to attempt to fix his hair with his fingers.

“Harry, only I can do that” Elizabeth interjected and ruffled Niall’s hair. Niall froze narrowing his eyes playfully at her. “Alright, Horan let’s go inside.” Elizabeth said jumping on his back.

“Why do I always have to carry you?” Niall complained hoisting her up.

 “Well because you are my best friend and because you love me.”

“Fair point” Niall stated simply and started walking back into the house carrying Elizabeth inside. I smiled after them as everyone started to pile back through the door into the kitchen. I glanced up at the sky grinning. Finally, whoever is watching me is finally letting me be happy. I sighed walking back into the house sliding the glass doors shut behind me.

Everyone was now gathered around in the living area watching Love Actually. I stood in the doorway leaning against the wall crossing my ankles and arms over my chest. I couldn’t help but feel at peace at the moment for once in my life I am surrounded by all the people that I love on Christmas. 

My eyes diverted over to Elizabeth getting up from the couch. She made her way around Sophia and Liam who were sitting on the floor. Liam had his arm wrapped around her shoulder with Sophia’s head in the nape of his neck. Elizabeth walked over to me and smiled.

‘I’m just going to go change into something more comfortable” She informs me and kisses my cheek. I uncross my arms placing my right hand on her waist.

“Okay” I nod and she smiles at me before walking past me.

“Harry, aren’t you going to sit down and watch the movie?” Elizabeth calls from behind me and I turn my head to face her. Elizabeth was standing a few feet away from me her body was facing the staircase in front of her.  “Are you okay?” she asked tilting her head to the side with a small frown on her face.

“Yea, I’m fine” I answer her immediately, reassuring her. Elizabeth face lifts back up into a smile before making her way swiftly up the stairs occasionally stepping two at a time. I turned around to face the gang and saw Niall getting up from the couch walking towards me.

“Hey, Niall”. Niall looks at me stopping in front of me, giving me his full attention. “Can I talk to you?” I ask.

“Of course” He answers immediately with a friendly smile. “Let’s go outside. We still have to clean up the backyard anyways.” I nod and we both walk through the kitchen out the back doors into the cool December breeze.

“So what did you want to talk about?” Niall asked picking up two of the stools, one in each hand, and placed them on the porch near the corner of the side of the house.

“Mostly, just to thank you” I admit grabbing two of the black chairs were the girls were sitting at earlier tucking them back into the table.

“For what?” Niall asked a few feet away. I could hear things shuffling but I wasn’t sure as to what he was moving around.

“Well for one, I would like to thank you for loving my girlfriend” I say, sounding more bitterly than I intended to. I reached up and closed the umbrella that was attached to the table because it was flapping around with the wind.

“Harry look I know you are upset but I’m sorry.” Niall said in a concerned voice. I turned around to face him and he was looking at me with wide eyes, not because he was scared of me, but because he was taken by surprise. “I mean I know she is yours and-“

“Niall” I interrupt with a smile shaking my head. “I didn’t mean it like that; it just came out that way.” I explained grabbing the other two chairs that were left.

“Oh?”

“What I meant was that I wanted to thank you for loving Elizabeth because you were there when she needed you. You were there when I was supposed to be there” I sighed and crossed my arms over my chest. I glance up at Niall and he looked relieved.  “Thank you.”

“It’s alright” Niall shrugged.

“Either way, thank you, and also for helping me get Elizabeth back.” I pause. “I am not just talking about this time around; I’m also talking about the time when you helped me get her back after Mandy kissed me.”

“It’s no problem, bro” Niall said walking over to stand in front of me. “ Now that we are having a heart to heart” He chuckled and a faint smile grew on my lips. “ I want to apologize for being so hostile towards you when you came back. It’s just, I hated seeing Elizabeth in so much pain and when I found out that someone was messing with her I thought it was you. I mean you were off the rails” He whispers. I nod.

“However, I am glad to have you back and I am even gladder that you and Elizabeth are happy together.” He smiled. I opened my mouth to speak but was interrupted by Elizabeth; we both turn our heads to look at her.

“Hey, what are you guys doing?” She asked stepping in front of the door way.

“We were just cleaning up the backyard. “ Niall answers. “But we’re done now. Let’s head back inside” He adds and I nod following him back inside.

“What were you two really doing?” Elizabeth asked as Niall walked out of the kitchen. I closed the glass door and turned to look at her.

“Nothing to worry about, babe” I shrug. “I just thanked him for helping me.”

“Oh” Elizabeth replies. I smile and tangle my hand with hers and led us back to the living area.
