After about two hours it looks like a Halloween store threw up all over the main floor of Harry's house. Brooke starts putting a few things back in boxes and puts them in front of the door.

Harry is looking around, trying not to grimace. I wrap my arms around his waist and laugh. "Brooke, what have you done to my house?" he asks quietly. El and Louis laugh as well as we all look around at our work. Brooke looks around as well, beaming.

"Isn't it fantastic! This is going to be an amazing party," she squeals, clapping her hands.

"Don't you think it's a little...much?" Harry asks, frowning.

"Oh, lighten up, Harry. We'll help you clean up on saturday."

Harry shakes his head and picks his phone up off the table as it starts vibrating. He looks at the screen and his mouth falls open a little as he stares at it.

"Harry?" I ask, noting the shock on his face.

"I need to take this," he says, running up the stairs. Weird. I follow the others into the kitchen and hop up on the counter while El and Brooke sit at the breakfast bar. Louis passes us all cans of pepsi from the fridge and leans on the counter next to me.

"So, I hear you two are official as of yesterday?" he asks, nudging me. I smile at him and nod.

"We are. Kind of sucks for you, doesn't it?"

He furrows his eyebrows at me. "Why's that?"

I shrug and look at El. "Well, Harry kind of beat you to it. You two have been whatever you are for like so long. Harry and I are seeing each other for two weeks and he pops the question."

El blushes and covers her mouth with her hand. Louis laughs and walks over to her, wrapping an arm around her. "I guess Harry did kind of make me look bad, didn't he?"

"How'd I do that?" Harry asks as he walks into the kitchen. He kisses me on the cheek and steps past me to get a bag of chips out of the cabinet before leaning beside me. I look up at him to see if everything's okay, but he doesn't look at me.

"Making Lana your girlfriend before I could ask Eleanor," Louis explains as El's face turns a deeper shade of red. Harry laughs and shrugs.

"I guess I'm just more of a man than you are, Lou."

"Oh really?" Lou asks. he turns and kisses El passionately before pulling back and taking her hands in his. "Eleanor Calder, will you do me the honour of being my girlfriend. I stifle a giggle at his corny choice of words.

"Finally!" El squeals, wrapping her arms around his neck. We all laugh and clap. This was a long time coming. And by a long time I mean from the moment they met.

"I hope you're all happy. Ruined my plans for the perfect moment. Anyway, sorry to rush off but I'm meeting up with Josh." Lou kisses El again and pats Harry's shoulder on the his way out the door. El and Brooke stand up as well.

"Are you guys leaving, too?" I ask, following them to the door.

"Yea, I have a paper due tomorrow that I haven't started and I'm El's ride home," Brooke explains, picking up the boxes. "See you guys tomorrow. Don't have too much fun tonight." She winks at me before going out the door, El waving and following her out. I shut the door and turn to have Harry slam his lips into mine, pushing me back against the door. I'm surprised but I kiss him back. The eagerness behind this kiss is staggering.

"Everything okay?" I ask breathlessly as he moves his lips down to my neck. He puts his hands on the back of my thighs and pulls back.

"Everything's great. Jump," he instructs. I comply and he pushes me harder against the door, kissing me again. His tongue explores my mouth and I tangle my fingers into his hair and wrap my legs around his waist to support myself. He's never kissed me this way before. He seems...angry.

Suddenly there's a knock on the door behind me, startling both of us as Harry pulls away. We're both breathing hard. He pounds on door beside me. "Every fucking time," he whispers, staring into my eyes. His eyes are dark. I lower myself down slowly against his body. He doesn't step back. I try to catch my breath.

There's another knock on the door and I push Harry back gently. "We'll continue this later," I whisper, stepping around him and going into the living room. He opens the door.

"What the fuck?" I turn around to see him staring out the door open mouthed, hands hanging at his sides. "Niall?"

Niall? Where have I heard that name...

"Good to see you too, Harry."

"What are you doing here? How the fuck did you find me?" Harry asks, half yelling and stepping out onto the porch. I walk over and look out the door to see a boy a few inches shorten than Harry with spiky blonde hair. He looks past Harry at me and his eyes go wide. A small smile plays on his lips.

"That's a nice one you've got, Harry. Good shag I bet." He stares at me as he says it and I feel my face flush.

"Shut up, Niall. Don't fucking talk about her like that. This happens to be my girlfriend."

"Wow, didn't think you had it in you, Haz." Niall hits him playfully on the arm and laughs a little. Harry's hands ball into fists and I can see how tense he is.

"I'm going to ask you one more time Niall. What are you doing here?"

"You know why. Zayn isn't happy that you just took off. Did you really think he wouldn't find you? I came to warn you that he's going to be paying you a visit. I have a feeling his won't be this friendly," Niall says, folding his arms.

"I'm done, I told you guys that. My life is here now. Zayn doesn't own me."

What is happening right now?

Niall laughs darkly. "You know as well as I do that it doesn't work like that. You really thought you could run and hide here?"

Harry doesn't respond, but he's now pacing back and forth on the porch, running his hands through his hair. "What does he want? I'm done with that shit! I'm not going back to Bradford."

"He's pissed that you left without telling him. I know you guys had your differences, but you've been like brothers since you were like seven. This isn't just about you leaving the gang. He feels betrayed. And you know Zayn doesn't like it when people change their loyalties."

My mouth drops open and I stare at Harry. "Gang?" He looks up at me and back to Niall.

Niall laughs again. What is always so funny to this guy? "Looks like you didn't tell her about us. Does she know about-"

"Shut the fuck up Niall," Harry says threateningly. "Just get out of here. I'm done with you guys. I don't care what Zayn has to say about it, I'm not coming back."

Niall shrugs his shoulders and starts walking back to the black SUV parked on the road in front of Harry's house. "Don't say I didn't warn you." He turns back around and looks at Harry. "Between you and me, Zayn isn't the only one that's mad you left without a word. You could have at least told me and Liam."

"You would have told Zayn. I didn't want to put you guys in the middle."

"Whatever, Haz. Just be careful, okay?" Harry nods and Niall turns and gets in the large vehicle. When he speeds off, Harry just stares after him.

"What the hell just happened?" I ask, trying to piece together that exchange.

"Don't worry about it, Lana." He turns and walks past me, not meeting my eyes. "Want to watch a movie?"

I scoff at him and follow into the living room. "I am going to worry about it. You were in a gang in Bradford? Why didn't you tell me that?"

He half turns to me in front of the TV. "Because it doesn't matter anymore. I'm out. What's done is done and I don't want to go back there and explain everything to you. Besides, you're not going to understand." He bends down and opens the drawer they keep the movies in, flipping through movies.

"Try me."

He doesn't respond. He just stands and turns to face me. I fold my arms over my chest, waiting for him to say something. After a few minutes he shifts his weight to the other foot and runs a hand through his hair.

"I'm not talking about this right now, Lana. Look, let's just say I did some bad things. I wish I could change who I was in Bradford, but I can't. I've changed and I'm moving on. With you. That's all I'm going to tell you, okay? Don't push me." His voice is low and there's something in it I can't explain. This is a Harry I don't know.

"Harry, please. Don't shut me out. You know you can trust me. You know that."

"Why can't you just trust me when I say it's better for you not to know?" He takes a few steps forward and stops in front of me, gently touching my cheek with the tips of his fingers. "I know that I can tell you. Not even my past could change us. I just need you to believe me when I tell you that it's best to keep it that way: in the past."

I shut my eyes and take a deep breath. I wish Harry would just tell me something. Anything. But, I don't want to push him. He's clearly upset and maybe now just isn't the time. I open my eyes and wrap my arms around his neck, playing with the hairs at the back of his head. His eyes lighten again, going back to their gorgeous green. His arms move to my lower back.

"I trust you. I just want to make sure you know that you can tell me anything. I can handle whatever is in your past whenever you are ready to tell me about it." He smiles slightly and kisses me tenderly on the lips. When he pulls back he looks into my eyes, tucking my hair behind my ear. "Also, if you wanted to continue the way you were kissing me earlier, I wouldn't be opposed to that." He smirks and looks down at my lips, then back up to my eyes. He suddenly picks me up, putting me over his shoulder. I don't struggle, giggling as he carries me up the stairs. I smack his ass and he laughs, pushing his door open and flinging me down onto the bed.

"I didn't know you could be so rough, Styles." Harry chuckles and pulls his shirt over his head, throwing it on the floor and crawling on top of me. I raise an eyebrow. "Not wasting any time I see."

"Can't start slow, love. Never know how long it'll be before we're interrupted." I smile as he connects his lips to my own. My whole body reacts to his touch, lighting a fire beneath my skin. Our tongues tangle together as our lips move in sync. He leans his body into me and leaves kisses down my neck. Suddenly he sits up and slides my shirt up to below my bra. He leans down and kisses the top of my stomach, slowly moving down my abs, down to my navel and sucking on an area below my belly button. Suddenly I feel him bite me.

"Ow! What are you doing?" I ask, laughing.

"Just marking my territory," he explains, looking up at me and winking. I sit up and remove my shirt then take his face between my hands, pulling his mouth to mine as I lay back own. He explores my bare skin with his hands for a while before moving on of them down to the top of my jeans and resting on the top of my ass. He pushes my hips harder into his as he starts making slow circles. I have to say, I love it when he does that. He pushes against me harder and harder, driving me crazy. I moan against his mouth, which is only encouragement for him. I tangle my hands into his hair and tug, getting a moan from him as well. He slows his movements, moving his lips to my neck and spending some time below my ear. He knows full well how good it feels when he does that..

I can feel that he's as turned on as I am, even through his jeans. I'm breathing heavy and I can feel him breathing the same way against my neck. "So have you made any plans for us to have that alone time you mentioned this morning?" He chuckles and continues down my neck, making his way to my collarbone.

"Not exactly," he whispers between kisses, "but trust me, I'll get right on it." He suddenly slides his hand over my crotch, making me gasp. He applies some pressure and I let out a moan as his mouth makes its way back up to my own. He starts rubbing as he lifts his head to look into my eyes. I bite my lip, suppressing the sounds his touch brings. "In the meantime, I'm sure we can find other ways to entertain ourselves." I smile and he slides his hand under my jeans, between them and my panties. I whimper softly. Why are we waiting agin? "Have any ideas?" I smile and pull his mouth down to mine as he continues with his hands.

This is going to be a good night.
