Amber's POV

He kissed the swell of my exposed breast as he rolled off me, wrapping his arms around my bare body.

I laid my head back onto the pillow in exhaustion, and brought up my hand to stroke Niall's flushed face gently.

"I love you." He whispered, burying his head into my side.

"I love you too, Nialler." I kissed his bare shoulder, and he pulled the duvet over our bare bodies.

I closed my eyes, and curled up against him, my breath finally slowing. His breaths became more shallow as he relaxed, and I knew he would be out within minutes.

I pressed my ear against his chest, and listened to his heart beat rhythmically until I fell asleep as well.

Abby's POV

Harry flicked on the lights of his room, and motioned for me to take a seat on his bed.

I hopped onto his bed, looking up at him curiously. My heart was thumping hard - I was nervous, hoping and praying we wouldn't get caught.

"Relax." Harry breathed, approaching his desk. "Master won't know we're together. He's busy right now." The desk was clean this time, spotless, with no evidence of ever being used except for the fact that there wasn't a fine layer of dust on it. Harry crouched down, kneeling at his wooden desk drawer. He pulled it open, and reached his long arm into it before producing a manilla folder.

He dropped it onto his desk, and pulled out the chair, spinning it around so that he could take a seat. Once he sat down, he looked up at me on the bed solemnly.

"How can you help me find my brother?"

He let out a sigh, closing his eyes and bring his fingers to pinch the bridge of his nose. "You can't let anyone know."

I nodded. "My lips are sealed."

He sighed again. "I've been working on this for a long, long time. So hear me out. It's going to take a while to explain everything."

I simply nodded, motioning for him to continue.

He swallowed uncomfortably, playing with his fingers. "You know about that whole karoke sing-off thing?"

"Yeah?"

"You know the ultimate prize is one wish. Anything." He stated.

I scrunched up my eyebrows in confusion. "So?"

"I've been waiting all year for it. I want to win it. I need to win it."

"Okay, but why does this have to be top secret?" I asked, unsure of his motives.

"I'm going to ask for my freedom."

Harry's POV

Her jaw dropped slightly, and her eyes widened at my words. "What?"

I nodded slowly, guaging her reaction. "You heard me."
