After a long drive we were at Harry's house within thirty minutes due to him speeding past every car he thought was going slow (which in fact was all of them) but never the less I was safe and away from Michael, who I thought was my best friend. Not anymore, he's a trader, he only wanted me to stay with him so he could harm Luke and that too is putting me in harms way weather he knew it or not. I swear he never thinks he just does and that's when things start to go wrong half the time.
I stepped out of Harry's car and followed him into his house. Inside it was so lovely, everything was so nice and tidy around his place. I'm so use to messes I forgot what a clean house looked like. Last time Michael cleaned the house (only because his mom threatened to take away his xbox) he cleaned the whole house, let me just say I've never seen it so clean in all my years of knowing him.
I walked around admiring his lovely home and saw all these pictures hung up or in frames on a table. I noticed one with him and a lovely looking girl, both of them were smiling brightly at each other like it was a candid photo. "Who's this Harry?" I asked him, he came over and picked up the frame and smiled widely as he sighed.
"My sister, Gemma." He said with a smile as he looked at the picture some more, "I haven't seen her since she disappeared.." He said sadly putting the picture down.
"Disappeared?" I asked and he nodded.
"She left for work one day and she never came back home. My mum and I were worried something awful, we had search parties and everything and we've never found her.." He said with a slight sniffle. It looked like the two of them were really close to one another.
"How long has see been missing?" I asked, I covered my mouth wishing I didn't ask that. This was clearly a touchy subject and I'm still trying to talk about it, "I'm sor-"
"No it's alright," he said cutting me off to reassure me. "She's been gone for five years.." He said bowing his head down. I gave him a hug knowing how he felt about losing someone you love.
"I'm so sorry Harry." I said hugging him tightly. He sniffled and I knew he was trying hard not to cry.
He coughed before wiping his eyes as he grabbed my hand and began to guide me towards the upstairs. He opened up a room and greeted me to enter with a sincere gesture. I put my bag down and flopped onto the bed, I felt like I was on a cloud as soon as my body hit the covers.
"Ahhh." I said closing my eyes peacefully and I laid there so comfortably.
"I see you like memory foam." He chuckled while leaning against the door frame. I nodded as I sat up and gave Harry a big smile.
"Thank you." I said to him, he gave me a head nod followed with a wink before he shut the door to leave me be for the night.
I got out my clothes and found the ones I would wear to bed. I put on my sport shorts and a t-shirt that I had to tuck in since it was one size too big for me. I laid back on the bed and I loved how it felt in here, it wasn't too hot nor too cold, it was perfect. I got underneath the covers and let my head sink into the fluffy pillow while my eyes shut and I fell to a peaceful slumber.

The light shinned into the guest bedroom waking me up slightly but my eyes were still closed since I wasn't quite ready to get up just yet. When I rolled over I felt bare skin touching my face and instantly my eyes shot open thinking it was Harry, startled I fell out of bed while a chuckle filled my ears from the carpeted floor. Groaning I got up and saw who was laying right next to me, I felt my heart race as he got up and I ran and jumped into his loving arms as he held my tightly not allowing me to fall.
"Thank god you're alright." He said running his fingers through my hair as he kissed the side of my head. I couldn't do anything but hug him tighter just wanting him to hold me. He walked over to the bed and set me down as he crawled in next to me and I laid my head on his bare chest while he played with my hair. "I was so worried about you." Luke said with a deep sigh.
"Did Harry tell you?" I asked and he nodded.
"I knew I didn't like Michael, the next time he pulls something like that.." Luke trailed of as his muscles tensed up and his abs became rock hard against my hand and then he sighed deeply loosening all this muscles.
"He won't, I'm not talking to him after what he just did. He was suppose to be my best friend.." I mumbled feeling betrayed by the only person that knew me better than anyone else. But then again so did Calum and he was more supportive than Michael half the time but Michael just has a funny way of showing he cares. He acts rude to get his point across to show he cares and doesn't want something bad to happen and of course that's exactly how he's been acting towards me since I've been around Luke.
"He's not coming anywhere remotely close to you." Luke said with a huff and a giggled a little bit. "What's funny?" He asked with a pout.
"You trying to be all tough." I laughed tracing shapes on his chest and he groaned.
"I am tough, I'm a total punk Lana." He argued and I held in my laugh.
"What's your favorite animal?" I asked him.
"A penguin." He answered flat out.
"Awe," I cooed at him. "That's so cute." I teased and he groaned once again.
"Awe?" He questioned, "No not awe, penguins are totally punk rock." He argued and I laughed.
"No honey, they're cute and cuddly just like you." I pointed out, I knew he wanted to argue but somehow he knew he wouldn't win and he dropped the whole conversation.
"How long do you want to lay here because I kinda had an idea.." He trailed off and I wanted to know what it was.
"What, what is it!?" I asked a little too desperately and I laid my head back down feeling embarrassed as he chuckled.
"Maybe you'd like to go swimming?" He said and I shot up happily.
"Where at?" I asked and Luke smirked.
"Harry has a pool out back, it's so cool." Luke said and my mouth dropped. Now he has a pool in the backyard? What isn't in this house, honestly.
"But I don't want to get up." I groaned wrapping myself around Luke's body so he too couldn't get up.
"Lana." He whined trying to get up but I held onto him for dear life. "Get your swimsuit out come on let's go swimming with the boys." He said trying to get me to get up.
"Hmm," I hummed. "No thank you." I giggled and Luke groaned.
"Alright, you asked for it." Luke said as he began to rise from the bed and I was shocked he could even lift up my weight when I went limp on purpose so it'd be hard for him to lift me. He scooped me up and held me tightly so that I couldn't get out of his hold as he walked down the stairs.
"Luke." I sternly said hoping he wasn't about to do what I think he'd do. He went out the back doors and there tanning was Harry with his hands behind his head and Ashton just swimming around. "Luke!" I said squirming trying to get out of his hold and he began to grin.
"One," He counted out loud. "Two.." He said and Ashton and Harry looked over smiling.
"Don't you dare!" I freaked out still trying to get out of his hold.
"Three!" He shouted swinging his body back about to launch me, "Catch Ashton." Luke said as I felt myself flying in the air as I squealed and Ashton held out his arms to catch me.
"Hey a butterfly." Ashton said turning away from me as I splashed into the water. Coming to the surface I looked over at Ashton and groaned and then Luke jumped in swimming close to me.
"Easily distracted." Harry said shaking his head as he still laid there tanning.
"Now you don't need a swimsuit." Luke said with a cheesy smile and I splashed water in his face crossing my arms. "Awe Lana." He cooed wrapping his arms around me trying to be all cute after he just threw me into the pool.
"No." I said trying to stand my ground and he buried his head in the crook of my neck and squeezed me tighter.
"Lana baby." He cooed making my heart melt at him calling me baby. I couldn't give in I was upset with him. Or was I?
"Lana banana." Harry joined in with the cooing and saying his little nickname for me.
"Lana." Luke cooed again kissing me on my neck, "I'm sorry." He said in a deeper voice that sounded just like his morning voice and I about lost it right there.
"What?" I asked still trying not to give in.
"I'm sorry." He cooed into my ear like a whisper almost as he began to kiss my jaw line.
"Lucas." I scolded him and he knew exactly why too.
"Please forgive me, I'm sorry." He said with his lips pressed against my cheek and I finally gave in with a sigh.
"Fine." I giggled and he spun me around giving me a sweet peck on the lips.
"Who's up for pool volleyball?" Ashton asked and we all thought it'd be a good idea.
"I get Lana!" Harry called jumping into the pool as the net was already set up. Luke groaned and swam to the other side where Ashton was.
The game began once Ashton served the ball.
