Harry:

"How's Uni going, babe?" I asked my computer screen. Samie was back in London still studying hard at Uni. She was graduating in a few weeks and I knew that she was really stressed out. I was getting ready to go out with everyone in Florence. I glanced at the screen and smiled softly at her. She was sitting on our bed in our flat in one of my shirts surrounded by books and papers. She was wearing her glasses, didn't have any make-up on, and her hair was thrown up in a messy ponytail and I thought that she looked beautiful as she always did.

"It's okay." She said shrugging as she looked up at the screen, "I'm ready for it to all be over, though."

"Me too. I miss you and I can't wait to see you" I said sitting down at the desk now dressed to go out. "So, I was thinking, we should probably sign for our house soon."

"Our house? What about the flat?"

"The lease is almost up so I was thinking instead of resigning the lease for the flat we should just sign on the house, since we're going to end up there eventually. We can do it before or after the wedding, whatever you want baby."

"Okay, Harry." She smiled, "Can we wait until after the wedding, though? That's just more added stress on, moving in and doing all of that stuff."

"Well, we can sign on it before and move in after, but only if you want to of course. The lease for the flat doesn't end until October, so we could sign on it but still be living in the flat, technically until we get back from tour."

"Okay, that sounds good." She said smiling again.

There was a knock on the door to my hotel room and Liam stuck his head in, "You ready to go mate?" He asked.

I nodded, "I'll be there in a second." I said before turning back to my computer screen. "I have to go baby. I'll talk to you soon. I love you."

"I love you too, Harry." She said blowing me a kiss before ending the call.

I slipped on my shoes before leaving the room and heading down to Louis and Eleanor's room. Kiersten had been on tour with us for about a week now, since her promo tour had ended. I walked and plopped down on the couch next to Kiersten who looked slightly annoyed. "I thought we were leaving." I said turning my head to the side to look at her.

"Me too." She said typing quickly on her phone before locking it, "Louis got his hand stuck in the toilet so Liam, Niall, and Zayn are trying to get it out. Danielle, Nora, and Eleanor are trying to get the kids all settled."

"Wait, wait, wait, back up... Louis got his hand stuck in a toilet?"

Kiersten nodded, "Poppy dropped his phone in there and then just sat in front of the toilet and laughed while he freaked out."

"Like father like daughter." I laughed and she cracked a small smile, "Everything okay, love?"

She shrugged, "Niall's been acting kind of weird."

"What do you mean?" I asked but I knew exactly what she meant. I was worried about Kiersten coming on tour with us. Niall had been going out drinking a lot because he wasn't sure how to deal with the pain that Kiersten was still dealing with from the miscarriage. He wanted to help her but she wasn't letting him, which was causing him pain, making him resort to just drinking all the time and then acting a little distant towards Kiersten, well towards all of us really.

"He's just been...distant lately, and I don't know why."

"Just talk to him about it, babe. You'll figure it all out." I said pressing a kiss to her temple as everyone walked out ready to go out to dinner and then out for drinks. (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=83807770)

I stuck close to Kiersten the whole night as she nursed one drink the entire time. Niall on the other hand was wild and crazy and was doing shot after shot. She just sat and watched him with a sad look on her face. Thankfully Eleanor stuck close to her the whole night and kept her company along with me.

We got back to the hotel and we decided to order a pizza and hang out in my room. We were all saying goodnight when I looked over to the couch and saw Kiersten sitting on Niall's lap and talking to him. I moved a little closer so I could hear what they were saying.

"Ni, I'm not trying to make you mad-" She said gently.

"Well you are." He snapped making her eyes widen a little bit.

"I'm just trying to figure out why you've been so distant since I got here. You hardly even talk to me, babe." She said running her fingers through the hair on the back of his head.

"Jesus Christ, Kiersten. I can't just drop everything and talk to you all the time when you join me on tour. This is my fucking job in case you forgot or something." He said before pushing her off his lap and leaving my room with a slam of the door.

Suddenly I realized that Kiersten and I were the only ones left in the room. I looked at her and sighed when I saw her. She was sitting on the couch with her head in her hands. I walk over to her and sat down next to her with my hand on her back. "You okay?" I asked quietly.

She sniffed before looking up at me, "I'm fine. But um, do you think I can stay here tonight?" She asked biting her lip a little bit.

"Of course, love. Want me to run down and get you some pajamas from your room?" She nodded a little bit, "Give me your key, I'll be right back." I said holding out my hand.

She grabbed the key out of her clutch and put it in my hand, "Thank you, Harry." She said smiling softly.

"You're welcome." I smiled before leaving the room. Niall was in the bathroom when I got there so I quickly went to her suitcase and found a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, hoping to avoid seeing him. I didn't want to cause any problems.

"What are you doing?" I heard someone ask behind me. I spun around and found Niall holding his shirt in his hand and giving me a funny look. "I thought you were Kiersten..."

"Uh no...I'm just getting her some pajamas. She's going to stay in my room tonight...just to a uh give you some uh space." I said stumbling over my words, not sure exactly what to say to him. I didn't want to piss him off or anything.

"O-okay. Um tell her I love her?" He asked.

"Sure. See you tomorrow." I said slipping out of the room and heading back to mine. "Here you go." I said handing the clothes to Kiersten.

"Thanks, Harold." She smiled kissing my cheek before going into the bathroom. I stripped down to my boxers and climbed into one of the queen sized beds in the room and flicking through the channels of the French telly.

Kiersten walked back out and climbed into the other bed. "Niall asked me to tell you that he loves you." I said.

"Oh okay. Thank you." She said quietly.

"You want to watch this movie?" I asked pointing to where a scary movie was playing.

"Sure." She said and we were both silent as we watched the movie. When it was over I turned the telly off and tried to get some sleep since the boys and I had a busy day the next day.

"Harry?" I heard Kiersten whisper, "Are you awake?"

"Yeah, what's up?"

"Erm...I'm scared."

I chuckled, "Get over here." I said and she quickly scrambled out of her bed and into mine.

"That movie was scary as shit." She whispered as she laid down a safe distance from me.

"Kiersten it was in French, did you even have any idea what was going on?" I asked laughing at her.

"Uh...not really. Did you?"

"I know French so I had it pretty much all figured out. It was really stupid."

"Well, when you have no idea what the hell is happening it's really effing scary." She said making me laugh again and pull her closer to me.

"I'll protect you." I whispered. After a few minutes of silence I spoke again, "This is crazy you know."

"What is?"

"Thinking about the fact that I'm getting married to your best friend when just a couple years ago I was convinced I was going to marry you."

"Harry," Kiersten laughed, "We dated for two months, that is not nearly enough time to think that you're going to marry someone."

"I still thought that, even if we did only date for two months. It's crazy how things have changed, though. Like can you imagine if we had never broken up? What if it was you and I getting married in a few weeks? Or what if we were already married, like you and Niall are?" I asked staring up towards the ceiling.

"Can I be completely honest?" She asked.

"Of course," I said slightly nervous as to what she was going to say.

"I think I would've killed you before we ever got married." She said making me let out a loud, surprised laugh along with her laughter.

"I am not that bad!" I said nudging her a bit making her laugh even more.

"Yeah but you like to go out do stuff in your free time, you're always going off to LA or going out with Nick, or stuff like that. Niall and I just lay on the couch and watch the food channel and talk about doing stuff."

I laughed because it was true. If Kiersten and Niall were both home and without any plans to be somewhere they planted themselves on the couch with a couple of beers, a bunch of blankets, and some food, they didn't really do much of anything if they had the choice not to. She was a really chill person. Kiersten and Niall were more alike than you could ever imagine. People just didn't really get the chance to see that side of her. A lot of people that came into our circle of friends thought that she was kind of high maintenance. She wasn't though. People just didn't realize how much that she had been through. She depended on Niall a lot to make it through, which I suppose could have come off as being high maintenance. That was why I knew that when they fought it was so hard on her, she depended on him and when they were fighting she wasn't able to.

"You seriously wouldn't marry me just because I go out more than you do?" I asked surprised at what she said.

"Would you really have waited until we got married to have sex with me?" She asked and I felt her turn to face me. As my eyes became more adjusted to the dark I could see her big blue eyes looking at me.

"Ahh the truth comes out. I still can't believe that Niall waited." I said shaking my head a little bit at the two of them.

She hit me on the chest but then started talking again, "You didn't answer my question." She pointed out making me sigh.

"I don't know to be honest. Probably not. Would that really have ruined it for you? You wouldn't have married me if I wanted to have sex with you?"

"Would you have married me if I had refused to have sex with you?" She asked raising her eye brows at me.

"Touché." I said tapping her nose as she let out a yawn making me chuckle. "Good night, Kiersten."

"Night Harry." She mumbled turning over so her back was facing me and before I knew it I was asleep.

"Harry." I heard someone say, "Harry, wake up."

"What?" I asked looking at the clock next to the bed. When I realized that I didn't have to be up for three hours I groaned, pulling the blanket up over my head. "Go back to sleep, Kiersten. We don't have to be up for a long time. "

"Harry, this was a mistake. This should've never happened." Kiersten said making me sigh and push the blankets down so I could look at her.

"What was?" I asked rubbing my eyes a little bit.

"Sleeping in the same bed. Jesus, Harry. Niall's just down the hall and you're getting married to my best friend soon. What the hell is wrong with us?"

"Kiersten, calm down. Nothing happened. You were scared. We didn't even cuddle while we were sleeping. It's not a big deal. We don't have to tell anyone. Just go get in that bed so it looked like someone slept in there when someone comes to wake me up. It's really not that big of deal, babe. Just go back to sleep."

"Okay." She said getting out of the bed and crawling into the other one. "Thank you, Harry." She said just before I was about to fall back asleep.

"For what?"

"For being my best friend." She said.

I smiled a little bit, "You never have to thank me for that Kiersten. I'll always be there for you, no matter what happens." I mumbled before falling back to sleep.

"Samie? Babe are you home?" I called walking into the flat when I got home from the European tour.

"Harry!" Samie called running into the room and launching herself into my arms.

I laughed and lifted her up a little bit kissing her lightly, "I've missed you." I said smiling down at her as she took my hand and lead me into the living room.

"I've missed you too, that's why I did this." She said showing me all of my favorite snack foods and movies set up in the living room with a bunch of blankets and pillows on the floor.

"You're the best. This is amazing." I said pecking her lips as we lay down on the floor to watch Love Actually.

As we made it through the third movie my guilt was starting to get the better of me. "Baby? Can we talk for a minute?" I asked pausing the movie and turning to look at her.

"Of course, Harry what's up?" She asked looking at me with her green eyes that I loved so much.

"Uh, Kiersten and I slept in the same bed last week." I rushed out not wanting to back out of telling her. "Nothing happened we just slept."

"Oh, um why?" She asked picking at her lip a little bit.

"Well her and Niall got in a fight so she stayed in my room. Then we watched a scary movie that was all in French and she was scared. So she slept in my bed."

"Do you still have feelings for her?" She asked looking up at me.

"No." I said looking her directly in the eye so she would know that I was telling the truth. I laced my fingers in hers, "None at all. All of my feelings are for you and only you. I just felt like I should tell you that it happened. You deserve to know."

"As long as nothing happened and you don't have any feelings for her. I don't care." She said pulling me back down next to her as she rested her head on my chest. "Just don't make a habit out of it, okay?"

"I don't plan on it." I chuckled pressing a kiss to the top of her head.

"Are Kiersten and Niall okay? When I talked to her on the phone the other day she said he's been acting kind of distant and weird. Is that what their fight was about?" She asked pressing play on the remote again.

"Yeah that's what it was about. They're just both hurting a lot right now. They'll be okay, though. They always are." I said slipping my hand up the back of her shirt. "I love you, Samie." I whispered against her lips.

"I love you too, Harry." She whispered back as my lips moved down her neck but I could tell she was a little bit distracted.

"Are you okay, boo?" I asked lifting my head up to look her in the eyes.

"Do you think Kiersten and Niall are going to make it through this?"

"Of course I do. Why do you ask?" I asked running my fingers through her long hair.

She shrugged, "If they don't make it, I just don't think that anyone else ever has a chance of making it."

I smiled a little bit, "They're going to make it. And you," I tapped her nose, "And I are definitely going to make it. Because I love you and I think you love me and that's what matters. We can make it through everything and anything." I said dropping my head down to press my lips to hers.

"I do love you, Harry, so much." She said tangling her fingers in my hair while I wiggled myself out of my clothes and she did the same with hers while I continued to press heated kisses to her skin making her moan a little bit.

I held Samie's hand as the realtor gave us a tour of our new house. We hadn't actually signed on the house yet. We wanted to actually see the inside before we agreed on buying it. Of course I wanted to live close to everyone else. Zayn's house was on one side of the house and Liam's house was on the other side. It was just a five minute drive to their houses and then a ten minute drive to Niall or Louis' house. But, if Samie didn't like the house I would be completely willing to go somewhere else for her. I would do anything to make her happy and I wasn't going to force her into living in a house for the rest of our lives that she didn't even like.

"What do you think, babe?" I asked as we stood in the master bedroom of the house. It was the most similar to Kiersten and Niall's house only with a different shape and such and our basement pool wasn't as large and extravagant as theirs. Niall and Kiersten also had a little bit more land than the rest of us did because they had the barn and field in the back of their house. They had yet to put any animals in the barn or anything but I had a feeling that once they had a kid or two the barn animals would be quick to follow behind the kids.

"I really like it. I mean obviously once we move in it's going to take a lot of work to make it our own but I like it more than I was expecting to like it." She said wrapping her arms around my waist as she rested her head against my chest.

"I'm glad you like it. And you are welcome to whatever you want to do to the house once we sign on it and have time." I said kissing the top of her head. "So we're going to get it then?" I asked pulling away slightly so I could look at her face.

She nodded, "I was just thinking, what if like some of our family stayed here, during the wedding? It's furnished enough for them to have a bed to sleep on and other things to use. It's just not furnished enough for you and I to move in and be happy with living there. That way though they don't have to pay for a hotel and stuff..."

"If you want them to that's completely fine with me."

"I love you, Harry." She said standing up on her tiptoes to kiss me.

"I love you too, babe. Now come on, let's go sign on this house." I said taking her hand.
