Stephanie's POV
I smile as I turn over to see Harry sleeping on his front, he's facing towards me with his lips slightly parched, he looks so peaceful. I don't bother touching him as I don't want to wake him up. So I quietly climb out bed and I walk to my wardrobe, I take my green vest and my long grey knitted jumper. I'll wear my jeans from yesterday as Mum always complains if I wear something once and then put it in the laundry basket.

I glance at Harry as I get changed, I can't help thinking how beautiful he really is. I can't get over the fact that he wants me, it just doesn't add up. I bet loads girls fight over him back at home. Thinking of home and girls, I wonder how Naomi is doing without him? She must be finding it so hard, I don't know how I'd get over Harry if I lost him.

I quietly open my bedroom door as I need to use the bathroom and brush my teeth. I think back to Harry laying fast asleep in my bed. Last night was incredible, the way he didn't mind that I stopped him from taking things further. He proved to be a gentleman and to me, that a big thing in this day and age.

I rinse my mouth and I head back to my bedroom and I close the door behind me.
"Morning.." I quickly look back at Harry to see him smirking at me whilst he tries to wake up properly. He's still laying on his front, his eyes close again as he yawns.

"Morning.." I say as I start to apply some make up, it always makes me feel better within myself when I've got a bit of make up on when I'm going out. I'm sure many girls feel the same, unfortunately I'm not blessed enough to just stroll around make up free. I wish I was.

"What time is it?" Harry mumbles as he looks at me then ruffles his hair so it's out of his face. I glance at my phone and check the time.

"It's half eight." I say as I look over to him whilst applying mascara. He closes his eyes again and sighs.

I quickly finish my make up and I brush my hair. I don't have to bother straightening it as its naturally wavy. That's one thing I have been blessed with, soft long hair with no frizz. I stand up straight and I put my coat on and I check my appearance in the mirror.

"What time do you finish?" Harry asks and I look over to him, he's now sat up. I'm drawn to his tattoos, how have I not spot them before? I guess I've never seen him topless but I should have had a glimpse at them.

"Half day today so about two." I say as I grab my bag and I place my purse, phone and keys inside. I look over to Harry again. "I need to go, I overslept so I'll see you later?" I say as I smile at him. He nods and starts to get up out of bed.

"Have a good day." He smirks as he takes my hand and I walk closer to him, I look up into those green eyes again.

"You too." I smile as my heart begins to pound harder than it should. He leans in and I feel his lips on mine, I close my eyes as I kiss him back, I don't want to leave him. I could stay like this forever.

"See you later." He smiles as he parts away from me. He opens my bedroom door and glances back at me smiling as he leaves. I shake my head at him, I smile as I leave my room and I head straight for the front door.

"Hey, it's my last day here tonight. We're all going out for a meal if your free to come?" Jed says as he catches me at the front door.

"Yeah sure." I smile as I can't believe my older brother will be leaving us for London tomorrow.

"Cool, the meal is booked for seven." Jed smiles, I nod and I shout bye to the others and I open the front door. "See ya!" He waves as he walks away. I shut the door and I make my way to college.

Harry's POV
I look at my reflection in the bathroom mirror as I wash my face. I like being here with Stephanie and being taught things in the studio by Ryan, but I'm really missing home. I feel like I could go mad as I just want to see everyone and make sure they are okay.
I pat my face dry on the towel and I grab my phone from my jean pocket. I scroll down to Gemma and I call her.

"Hey Brother!" She sings, I can hear her smiling down the phone. "Harry?" She asks as I hear slight worry in he voice.
"Hey Gem." I say as I lean forward on the side. "How are you?" I ask as I look down at the drops of water dripping from the tap.
"Yeah I'm okay thanks, Mum's at work. Dad came round earlier. We all miss you." She says and I let my hand run through my hair.
"Miss you too." I say as I sit on the lid of the toilet.
"Harry are you sure you're alright?" Gemma asks.
"I don't know." I sigh as I'm not used to feeling this way. "I'm not sure what to do Gemma." I say as I'm full of so many emotions that I always make sure I block out. I'm emotionally involved with Stephanie and I'm struggling without my family.
"Do you need us Harry? We will come to you." Gemma asks and I shake my head at my big sister's kindness.
"Don't be silly. I'll be fine" I say as I try to convince myself as well as her.
"Well if you change your mind, let us know. We're always thinking about you Harry." Gemma says as she waits for me to speak.
What is this I'm feeling? I don't get why I'm like this. I've not been a way for long!
"Thanks Gem. I have to go." I say as I really need to leave this conversation.
"Love you Harry." Gemma says.
"Love you too. Give love to Mum and Dad." I say as I hang up. Fuck.

I stand up and place my phone back into my pocket and I leave the bathroom and I head downstairs. Susan is sat with Ryan in the living room.

"Morning" I say as I wave to them.

"Morning" Susan says and Ryan smiles over to me. "Harry just to let you know, we've booked a meal tonight for Jed as he leaves tomorrow. Would you like to join us?" Susan asks.

"Yeah, that sounds good" I smile and they both look pleased at me.

"It's at seven tonight buddy, so if we start in the studio about ten? And have the afternoon and evening off." Ryan smiles and I can't be more happier to hear that.

"Cool, cheers." I smile as I head towards the kitchen. I go for the cereals and I pick a box without really paying attention. How can I be so high one minute? Then so low the next?
I'm thrilled with what's happening between Stephanie and I and that's a perfect distraction to my home sickness.

Thinking of how life was back at home, I've not been in a fight or trouble for a few days, obviously that disagreement happened with that Jason dude, but that wasn't much compared to home.

I sit down to eat my cereals and my phone vibrates. I have one message from Stephanie:
Really wish I was at home with you. Did anyone tell you about the meal tonight? Xxx

I smile as just reading her name cheers me up. I text back:
Yeah your parents invited me, shall be nice to eat out :) I'll pick you up from college xxxx

My phone vibrates again, that can't be Steph. I look over and I see Naomi's name, I read her text:
Harry, I'm sorry that we argued on the phone the other night. I don't like it when that happens, I just want to make you happy. I'm in love with you as I can't get your bloody face out of my head. I'll do anything to be with you, you know me Harry, I know you feel the same. I love you Harry Edward Styles xxxx

Bloody hell. That's just gone and made everything worse, why has she text me that? Was I not clear enough? I can't text her back, any communication could be a misled invitation and I don't need any of that right now. The only girl I'm focusing on is Stephanie so Naomi will have to wait till I'm home to explain things so she understands I'm not interested.

I know I was complete prick to Naomi and she didn't deserve any of that. Maybe I should text her and say sorry? No.. Stick to what I just told myself. It will make everything worse. Maybe I will text her in a few days?

Stephanie's POV
I didn't listen to anything in class today. I just day dreamed the whole time I was supposed to be learning about how we can improve our vocal depth. I didn't care about my voice, I just cared about the one guy that is at home.
I sound awful don't I? I feel a little pathetic to how soppy I am becoming. Maybe I should toughen up a little, I've let my guard completely down and that's never good. I'm so vulnerable to Harry right now, he could damage me in so many ways, if only he knew how powerful he is to me. I really need to sort this out. I need to get those guards back up, just incase.

"Oh my god, I just heard the most amazing song." Amy says as she sits next to me and starts looking down at her phone.

"Cool which song?" I ask and she starts to play Ed Sheeran's Thinking Out Loud. I do like this song, I've always been a big fan of him. Amy and I always said we'd like to see him live, he's so romantic and sweet the way he writes his songs.

"He's just perfect. Why isn't there any guys like that in our world? I want someone to write a song about me declaring their undying love for me!" Amy smirks as she looks back down at her phone. I smile to myself as I think about Harry and when he sang his song to me.

"So," Amy says as she turns the song off and looks at me. "What's going on with you?" She asks.

"Well, Harry and I have decided to give things ago." I blush as I tell her this, I've got no hope have I? Her jaw drops and she smiles.

"How did this happen? I guess he figured out how to tell you his feelings!!?" She asks excitedly.

"Yeah.." I nod as I look away. "It was actually perfect Amy" I say as I look back at her.

"Why? What did he do?" She asks as she looks at me impatiently.

"He took me into Dad's studio, he sat me down and made me press a button when he went into the booth." I stop as Amy watches me intently. "Then this beautiful music started playing and then he started to sing." Amy gasps in shock at me.

"He sang to you? What song?" She asks.

"He wrote the song." I say and Amy's eyes widen. I feel my cheeks go red and I'm not sure why I'm getting embarrassed by this.

"What were the lyrics? Did it say what you wanted to hear?" She asks as she gulps.

"Yeah, he sang it perfectly, the words were thoughtful and his voice just made me feel weak." I say as I look down at the floor and the memory repeats itself in my head.

"Shit, you're so lucky." Amy says as she looks away. "So does your parents know you're together?" She asks.

"No, we want to keep it quiet for now just to see how it goes." I say as I glance at her she nods as she looks down at her phone.

"I hope it goes okay." She says as she looks up to me and smiles.

"Thanks" I smile back and I look away. It must be hard for Amy to hear how happy I am with Harry. She's always trying to find the right guy but she ends up with so many idiots. I'm hoping she finds someone decent soon.

Harry's POV
I walk out of the studio leaving Ryan to finish a few things. I'm learning so much more and soon I'll be able to learn producing. I can't wait for that. Ryan's lucky he can work at home as his home studio is insane, it's the real deal.

I glance at my watch and it's two o'clock already. Shit, I've got to pick Stephanie up. I grab my keys from the hallway and I walk out the front door. I unlock my car and quickly jump in. I start the engine up and I begin to drive off from their drive and I head towards her college.

I think I can remember where it is, I went past there the night I stormed out and mentally noted to myself that's the college she attends. It's only ten minutes up the road, but it saves her walking.

I turn the radio on and Taylor Swift's shake it off is playing. I find myself singing along as I quite like some of her songs. I always thought she was pretty hot, I wonder what she's like in real life? Is she how the media portrays her? I guess I'll never know unless one day I happen to bump into her, very unlikely of course, but you never know!
I wonder what that lifestyle is like? Being a famous singer? Doing solo gigs, or being in one of the biggest boy band in the world. Or a mixed band? Their lifestyle must be crazy.

I turn ito college and I see Stephanie waiting as she sits on the wall. She soon jumps up when he realises I've arrived.

"Hey." She smiles as she climbs into the car and closes the door.

"Hey." I smile as I lean over and kiss her. "Good day?" I ask and she sighs.

"It was okay, I'm just not enjoying it like I used too. Think I've lost quite a bit of interest." She says and I think into he words. Why is she doing the course if she's not enjoying it? Before I can answer she begins to talk.

"How was your morning?" She asks as she looks at me.

"Was good, learned some stuff with Ryan today. I also spoke to my Sister too." I answer as I look over to her, she smiles.

"How is she?" Stephanie asks and I shrug my shoulders as I look back at the road.

"She said they're all okay, but I wasn't on the phone for long." I say and the conversation falls completely silent. Maybe Steph can sense how much I miss being away from home. I had so much hate towards the reason of leaving home, to help better me as a person, I never believed it would help.

"Thanks for picking me up." Steph says as she breaks the silence.

"No problem" I smile to her as we approach her house. I park up and we both get out of the car. "So, this meal tonight, How long do you take to get ready?" I tease her as we walk towards the front door.

"Not that long actually, about an hour?" She says as she playfully hits my arm as I follow her inside and I close the door behind me.

"Yeah okay." I laugh as I head upstairs following Stephanie. "I'm gonna jump in the shower." I say.

"Okay.." Steph says as she stops outside her room. "Are you okay?" She asks. I look at her as I open my door.

"Yeah I'm fine." I smile as I walk into my room. I grab some clean boxers and I walk out closing the door behind me. Stephanie has gone into her room and the door is shut, so I head into the bathroom.

---

Stephanie's POV
I may have told a small white lie to Harry, I won't be taking an hour to get ready tonight. By the time I've picked out and outfit, done my hair and make up, I have no idea how long that will take me. Usually I wouldn't worry so much, but I sort of want to impress Harry.

Before I think about my appearance for tonight, I sit at my computer desk and I turn my laptop on. Once it's loaded up I start to play some Ed Sheeran. His song Sing starts and I smile as I stand up, time to pick an outfit.

I grab a couple of blouses from my wardrobe and I hold them up against me. White, pink or Dark blue. I just can't decide which one, I take my black skinny jeans and I change into them, I grab the dark blue blouse and I try it on. I never thought I'd find my outfit this easily, but I reckon I'll just stick with this.

I sit down and I start to play with my hair, I wanna do something different with it, perhaps I'll straighten it.

---

Harry's POV
I wake up regretting that I let myself fall asleep. After I stepped out of the shower and changed into clean boxers, I made a mistake of laying down on my bed and I drifted off. I quickly check the time and it's six o'clock. Shit we have to leave soon.
I get up and rummage through my clothes, I take my white shirt and my black skinny jeans. That will do.

Once I'm dressed I fix my hair as I look in the mirror that's in my room. It's getting a little out of control at the moment, I need to get it cut.

I then reach for my aftershave and I spray ok my neck and all over myself. I think I'm ready to go. Oh, shoes.. I'll wear my dark brown leather boots. Now I'm set to go.

"Jed, Harry, Stephanie are you ready?" Susan calls up to us. I hear Jed shout back and Stephanie appears to be close to my door. I open it and I quickly reach over to the shelf and take my wallet.

"Hey!" Stephanie says as I step out and close the door behind me.

"Hey." I smile as I look at her. She looks incredible, I've never seen her hair curly and she's wearing a considerate amount of make up. Her outfit is very flattering too, she looks hot. "You look amazing." I say as we head down stairs.

"You don't look too bad yourself." She smiles as we reach the bottom of the stairs to meet everyone else.

Susan is wearing a purple knee length dress and Ryan is wearing a smart dark blue shirt with dark jeans. Jed is wearing a light blue shirt with black trousers, everyone looks smart so now I'm wondering where this meal is?

"Taxi is here." Stephanie says as she peers through the window in the living room.

"Okay, you all have everything?" Susan asks as Ryan opens the front door and we start to follow them out to the eight seated taxi.

I climb in and sit next to Stephanie and Susan. Susan looks at me and smiles as she looks away. What was that for? Does she know about Stephanie and I?

"I'm so hungry.." Jed says as we begin to drive off. Ryan starts to tease Jed about how he eats so much but I look a Steph who is looking at her brother.

She catches my eye and I smile before looking down at my phone as I receive a text from my Mum:
Hey Son, Gemma said you called are you ok? Miss u xxx

I send a reply:
Yeah just making sure you're all ok. I may come home just to see you soon xxx

"So are you going to start supporting Chelsea now then?"Ryan asks and I look over to Jed, he rolls his eyes.

"Don't be stupid.." Jed says and Ryan laughs. "Is this it?" Jed asks as we turn right into what looks like a posh restuarant from outside. Then I suddenly realise this is where we would go for Sunday lunch, sometimes the May family joined us.

"This is it." Susan smiles. "You know this restaurant" She adds and Jed nods. We all climb out of the taxi and Ryan pays the driver.

"Now ok starving." Jed smiles as he starts to walk towards the door.

"Okay, lets go." Ryan says as he looks to Susan who nods. Steph and I follow them inside. "I'll get some drinks an check of our table is ready as we are a bit early." He adds.

"Take a seat over here guys." Jed says as he sits on a sofa in the corner. I sit next to him and Stephanie joins us. Susan walks to the bar with Ryan. I look down at my phone as I've no reply from Mum yet.

"Hi!" I hear Susan say loudly, I don't bother looking up as I check the time my Mum text me before I replied.

"Harry.." Steph nudges me as I look at her. She points in the direction to her parents. I look over and I feel as if my heart is about to stop.

"Mum? Gemma?" I say in shock as I stand up and I instantly throw my arms around them.

"Hey son." Mum smiles as she kisses my cheek.

"I had no idea you were coming.." I say as I look at them and I can't believe they are here.

"Susan and Ryan told us about tonight and we agreed to come along. I missed you so much I had to see your face." Mum smiles and she hugs me again.

"Oh my god Jed! Stephanie!" Gemma laughs as they approach us and hug my sister.

"Oh my, look at you two." My mum says as she looks at them stunned. They too hug her and I smile to Stephanie who looks as shocked as I do.

"Okay, shall we get our table?" Ryan asks. We all agree with him and I follow the others with my Mum. This is such a good surprise that I probably never would have cherished a few days ago.
