Bella's POV:

I laid there on the couch with a cool rag across my head and listened to Harry explain himself. It was the typical 'it meant nothing, it was to get over you, I never meant to hurt you' bullshit we've all heard before. He finally finished talking and looked over at me. "Are you going to say anything?" He asked. I fluttered my eyes up to his weakly and saw despair written all over his face.

"I forgive you." I croaked out. He leaned in to give me a kiss and I placed my hands over my face.

"Oh that's right love, I forgot you were sick. I'll kiss you when you're feeling better." He said taking my hand. I slipped my hand away and looked at him confusedly.

"Harry... I forgive you but I'm not going to be with you! Did you actually think I would just crawl back into your arms? And besides, I'm happy with Liam." I said crossing my arms over my chest. He shook his head looking down at the ground. I felt a little bad, which is insane right? I shouldn't feel bad about this! "We can be friends though..." He looked up and smiled with a little disappointment at that.

"I'm not going to stop loving you, but I'll wait for you. For now we can be friends, but just know how badly I want you." He said tracing his hand down my leg giving me a chilling sensation. I rolled my eyes and smiled.

"Ok, whatever you say Romeo." I laughed smacking him with the couch pillow. "Now get out of here and let me get my rest, and tell everyone they don't have to hate you anymore."

"Alright love, see you in a bit." Harry said getting up from the room and looked back with a stare and smile but it was ephemeral. I really was feeling sick and all I wanted to do was sleep. I positioned myself on the couch and fell into a deep, comfortable sleep.

The Next Day
Still Bella's POV:

"Hurry up Jamie, you're gonna be late to school!" I heard someone shout from the other room. I opened my eyes lazily and realized I was on the couch. I was asleep for over 15 hours, damn. I stood up and actually felt fine, no more dizziness and no more migraine. I looked into the kitchen and saw Drew, Perrie, Liam and Jamie talking at the table. Jamie saw me immediately and rushed over to my side.

"You're awake!!!!!!" She jumped on top of me and knocked me to the ground.

"Easy Jamie, she's sick!" Drew scolded.

"I actually feel great, just hungry! J, how's school been?"I asked. I feel like I haven't had a conversation with my sister in weeks.

"It's good, I have lots of friends! I miss dancing though..." She sighed. I pushed her hair behind her ear and put my hands on her shoulders.

"Don't stop stretching or practicing, we'll find a studio in the next couple days! I hope you're turns in second are improving..."

"They are! I'll show you later!! Also I landed a triple in my room and my over-split is getting so far and my turn out is..." Her rant was cut off.

"Jamie let's go, you've got school! You can talk ballet when you get home." Drew said jingling the car keys.

"Have a good day, love! I'm glad you've been practicing, maybe one day you'll be better than me!" I laughed pulling her in for a quick squeeze.

"Yeah right Bella, you're already better than half the celebrity dancers in the world! Oh and word of advice..." she whispered in my ear, "take a shower, you smell like old throw up and sweaty socks." I pushed her as she walked away from me giggling uncontrollably. I smiled at Liam and Perrie who were waiving me down towards them but I sniffed myself and gagged. Jamie was right, a shower was deffinetly needed.

//////

After the shower I walked into my room, told Louis to get out and sat on my bed. What am I going to wear today? Suddenly, I heard a knock at the door. "Who is it?" I asked cracking the door open a peak.

"It's Liam... Can I take you out for breakfast? A little late birthday gift?" he asked nervously. I let out a huge grin through the door and responded almost immediately.

"That sounds great, I'll be ready in 20 minutes!" Eeeeeep!! Was this a date? It has to be. I got dressed up in a cute-causal breakfast outfit and walked out into the living room as soon I was dressed where Liam, Harry, Niall and Perrie were sitting, all of them drinking coffee or tea.

"You look great, love. You ready to get going?" He asked standing up and giving me a kiss on the cheek.

"Yup, I'm all set!" I cheered.

"Where are you two love birds going?" Niall asked. I blushed at his 'love birds' remark and looked up at Liam who was also blushing, but had a huge smile on his face.

"We're going to get some breakfast down the block. Would anybody like to come?" Liam asked. WHAT. This was supposed to be a date!!!!!!! I looked up at him and shook my head no. He whispered in my ear, "it's common curtesy Bell, they won't say yes anyway--"

"I'll come with you guys!" I turned my head down to look at Harry who was smirking at both of us.

"Greaaat." Me and Liam said at the same time. Well this sucks.

"I'll be ready in 5 minutes guys!" Harry said jumping up from his seat and heading for the stairs.

"Liam no, I thought it was just going to be the two of us." I pouted. He tilted my chin up at me and smiled, which made me smile.

"Don't worry Bell, we can always hang out tonight, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day..." he said kissing my hand, and then my shoulder, and then my neck, and then passionately on the lips. I started to smile during the kiss and smiled as he pulled me into his chest for a hug. "Don't worry Bella, Harry knows we're together, he wouldn't try to ruin our time."

"We're together now?" I asked as he intertwined my hand with his.

"Well I uh, I mean uh... If you wanted to be... I mean... I want to be.... uh.." I started laughing hysterically and jumped up onto him, wrapping my legs around his waist and him putting his hands under my bum for support.

"I want to be." I said placing my arms around his neck and kissing him sweetly on the lips. We were both smiling in each others gaze until I felt hands wrap around my back and someone scream,

"Group hug!" It was Harry. I tried to wiggle him off and as he finally released from Liam and I, he whispered into my ear, "You didn't think I was going to make this easy on you, did you?" He chuckled before pulling away. "Let's go!" He said racing towards the door. I shook my head and sighed, this was by no means going to be easy on any of us.

Notes

I am so sad my rating dropped over a point /:
it really discouraged me tbh so that's why I haven't been updating that much, and I've also had so much homework.
