Okay, so this chapter is in Harry’s POV because I felt like he should at least get one since he’s one of the characters who hasn’t had one. Now that I think about it, I haven’t written one in Zayn’s POV either! Goodness I really need to…his side of the story is important too, now isn’t it? Hehe.
Anyway, please enjoy and vote and comment! All comments are greatly appreciated it! :))

Recap
Niall’s POV
"The kiss. Just forget about it, Niall. It was a fuckin' mistake. It didn't mean a thing so don't bring it up again." He growled at me.
My heart stopped and I felt tears instantly form in my eyes. I stared at him, not believing what he just said. It was as if someone had ripped my heart out of my chest and stomped on it. I couldn't breathe.
It was a mistake...mistake...a mistake? My mind repeated the cold words over and over in my mind. Slowly, without saying anything to him, I stood up and headed towards his door. I only stopped to give him one last look. I had to struggle to not let the tears slip but it was quite hard.
His look hadn't changed but I could tell he noticed the sadness in my eyes. I ran a hand through my hair, not even caring that a hot pain went through my side.
"Of course it was." I whispered before leaving the room. As I walked back towards my room, I felt the tears slip down my cheeks and one thing in my mind stood out from all the rest.
I finally knew how he felt.

Harry’s POV
Okay, I am completely and utterly confused.
I watched as Liam snapped viciously at Zayn as the two of them glared at each other. “And I’m not about to allow you to continued playing with Niall’s heart, ye blood bastard. Who the hell do you think you are, anyway? What gives you the right to date Niall and Perrie at the same time—“
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Dating? They were dating? Since when?! My eyes widened as I continued to watch Liam rant at Zayn before pushing away from the couch and heading upstairs. Niall let out a small whimper as he sat up and called out to him. Liam only ignored him and we all listened as his bedroom door slammed shut. Rather hard, I might say.
Niall looked around at each of us and when his eyes stayed on me for a moment, I could only assume it was surprised and confused.
I glanced between him and Zayn. "You two...are dating? Since when?!" I sputtered out. Niall only shook his head and ignored me before struggling to stand up. Louis and Zayn both reached towards him to set him back down but Niall pushed them away.
Louis gave him a stern look. "Niall, you have to lie down. Let your side rest a bit." Niall rolled his eyes and stood up again before Zayn sighed and reached out to pull him back.
This caused Niall to snap at him. "Don't try and stop me, Zayn. I'm going to go talk to him. You, on the other hand, need to work things out with Perrie."
Zayn winced at the mention of Perrie and took his phone out to probably call her. Niall looked over to me and Louis and he shook his head at me.
"Close your mouth, Haz. You'll catch flies." I blushed in embarrassment and shut my mouth, not even knowing I had it open in the first place. I looked down at my hands and mumbled to myself.
"Sorry...I'm just shocked his all." I heard Louis sigh before sitting down next to me and throwing an arm around my shoulder in comfort. He gave me a squeeze and this caused me to look up at him and catch my eyes with his.
He smiled gently down at me and I couldn't help but feel a warm fuzzy feeling go through me as he did. What the hell?? Where did that feeling come from?
Louis then took his gaze away from mine, making me frown a little, so he could give Niall a look. "Don't worry, Hazza. We're all shocked." He told him.
Niall pouted before turning around and heading upstairs after Liam. I watched as he cautiously stopped a few times to breath sharply from the pain, I was guessing, and finally disappeared upstairs.
Silence enveloped the room and I warily moved my eyes over to Zayn when I realized he was heading into the kitchen with his phone pressed against his ear. He was quietly talking into the phone and finally I couldn't see him as he walked more into the room.
For some reason, I got a bit nervous to be in the same room as Louis, his arm around my shoulder. Considering that the obvious tension from the other three lads had stayed slightly, I shifted awkwardly in Louis' embrace and he looked over at me.
"Drama queens." He chuckled. I smiled warmly up at him and nodded in agreement.
"No kidding."
It was quiet again when Louis cleared his throat and shifted a bit so his body was facing towards me. I watched him in curiosity as he removed his arm around my shoulder to intertwine it with his other hand.
"You alright there, Boo-bear?" I asked him, cooing my nickname for him. His cheeks turned a light shade of pink and a nervous laugh came from between his lips as he looked down at his hands. Oddly enough, a strange empowerment came over me and I kinda liked the idea that I could make him blush like that.
I swallowed as I came to my senses. Wait...why is he even blushing in the first place? I've called him Boo-bear plenty of times before and he never acted like this.
I reached my hand over to brush my fingers lightly against his temple and down his cheek. The pink tint on his cheeks instantly turned a shade darker and I frowned in confusion. He brought his light blue eyes up to meet mine and I swear something inside me melted.
"Haz..." He whispered, his voice suddenly a lot lower than I'd ever heard it. A small shiver went through me and brought my eyebrows together in thought. What was going on? The tension in the air had disappeared and was instead replaced with a different feeling. A feeling I'd never experienced before.
I shook my head, getting rid of my speedy thoughts, and focused my attention back on Louis. When I did, though, I noticed that he was a lot closer to me than I remembered. He was so close that if I even moved an inch, our noses would brush against each other.
I felt myself become nervous as he gazed into my eyes. Oh fuck, what is going on...?
"You tell me." Louis murmured huskily to me. I swallowed roughly and blinked a few times after I realized what he said.
"Did I say that out loud?" I asked, shyly. Why in the world was I acting so shy all of a sudden? I was Harry Styles for crying out loud and Harry Styles never gets shy!
Until now. I thought to myself. Louis chuckled, a deep masculine sound, and I bit my lip just from it.
"Yes you did, in fact."
I shifted a bit, causing our noses to bump into each other, and my face heated up. A sparkle in his eyes caused me to freeze for a moment and I held my breath when I felt his hand touch the back of my neck.
"U-um...what are you d-doing...?" I stuttered. He raise a brow and leaned in a bit closer so I felt his breath on my lips. Maybe if I just closed the gap between us...
My eyes widened and I instantly pushed myself away from him, standing up and nearly knocking myself over. Louis gave me a hurt look but it vanished as fast as it came. He reached over and grabbed my waist before I could fall over and I fell against him, ending up in his lap.
Damn, since when did we become so touchy-feely?
I felt my head lean back against his shoulder and his arms tightened around my waist so he could shift into a more comfortable position. He brought one hand up so he could run it smoothly through my curls and he whispered in my ear.
"Why so jumpy, Haz?" His teeth grazed my earlobe and I bit back a moan because of how good it felt. I blushed hard at what I did and Louis only chuckled seductively. I shuddered when I felt the hand in my hair slowly travel down to my shoulder, arm, waist, and finally stopping at the top of my right thigh.
I eyed his hand, wondering what he was doing, and that's when I felt it. His lips on my neck. I couldn't help but gasp as he began to nibble on the spot that connected my shoulder and neck. The same place I had playfully bit not even a few days ago. But now the tables turned.
That's when I realized that he must be playing around with me. Just as I had been playing around with him, he was now playing with me. Something we do as friends, something that was considered a friendly nibble in our bromance.
I didn't understand why I felt so...disappointed. Almost as if I wanted it to mean more than it really was. I decided to forget about it and at least enjoy it while it lasted. Even if it was only meant to be playful to Louis.
I sighed and leaned against his touch, liking how if felt as if electricity was through me with every spot he touched me. We sat there for a while, him lightly licking and occasionally sucking my skin while I let out little groans here and there, when we jumped from the arguing upstairs.
Louis finally pulled away so he could give me a look of concern. I returned it and we both stood up before heading towards the yelling. As I walked up the steps first, I was aware of Louis' gaze on my back and I furiously blushed even though he couldn't see me. What happened back there was something that even I couldn't explain.
Just as I reached the top, my eyes found Niall just as he shut the door to Liam's room. I looked a bit closer at him and noticed the tiny tears that slipped down his cheeks as he turned and walked to his own room. Louis stood behind me, obviously having seen Niall as well, and nodded at him to me.
"You go talk to him and I'll talk to Liam." He told me before heading towards Liam's room. He knocked lightly and opened the door before closing it. I let out a breath of air and headed in the direction to Niall's room.
As I reached it, I didn't hear anything and assumed that he had lied down. I knocked on it lightly but didn't get a response. I decided to turn the knob and stepped inside his room when I realized he didn't lock it. I shut the door, being embraced by the darkness of his room, and called out to him.
"Niall? You alright, mate?" I whispered. I didn't get a response again but I heard a slight movement come from his bed and went over to find him under the covers with his body shaking.
I sighed and climbed into the bed and under the covers with him. He let out a small whimper as I threw my arm around his body and pulled him against me. I lay there with him for a while, whispering comforting nothings to him, when he finally calmed down.
It was quiet for a moment when he turned on his other side so he was facing me. Even in the darkness, I could tell that his eyes were red and puffy and there were tear-streaks on his face. I brought my hand up to wipe away a few tears that slipped down his cheek.
"Wanna talk about it?" I murmured softly to him. He only shook his head in response and scooted closer to me so that his face was buried in my neck. I rubbed his back soothingly and soon enough the waterworks started up again. I ran my fingers through his hair as he cried into my arms. I didn't even mind that he was causing my neck to become wet with his tears.
I held him silently, only speaking soft words to him when he cried really hard. I didn't know exactly why he and Liam were fighting but I did know that I needed to be there for Niall. I wasn't about to let him stay here alone all night in the state he was in.
So, because I cared for him, I snuggled him against me and continued to comfort him and stroke his hair until he finally quieted into sleep. I listened to his tender breathing, smiling gently at how peaceful he was in his sleep. But even though I was there, trying to think of ways to get Liam and him to stop fighting, I couldn't stop my thoughts from going back to Louis. I felt a bit selfish thinking about what happened between us but it wasn't something I could control.
What was happening between us?
