Harry's P.O.V

I got back to the house and opened the back door, still holding Jordyn. The boys saw me and immediately ran over to us.

"Where was she?!" Zayn asked.

"Is she okay?!" Niall asked.

Liam came into view and went wide eyed when he saw me holding Jordyn. He seemed mad at first, but then gave me a look of relief, as to say thank you for finding her.

"She fell asleep on me, I'll be right back" I said, heading upstairs towards Jordyns room.

I laid her down on the bed and pulled the covers over her body, but then saw the white cloth on her wrist. I made a promise to her that I wouldn't tell anyone, and I didn't want the boys to see. I quickly ran to the bathroom and pulled out the first aid kit. I brought it back into Jordyn's room and sat down on her bed next to her sleeping body. I gently took the cloth off her wrist and cleaned the cut area. Jordyn winced and her eyes immediately opened.

"What are you doing?" Her voice laced with sleep.

"You fell asleep on me in the treehouse so I brought you back here, and I'm keeping my promise of not telling anyone about this" I pointed to her wrist, "So I'm just cleaning it up"

"Thank you Harry" She said, giving me a small smile before closing her eyes again.

I grabbed a bandaid from the first aid kit and removed it from the wrapper, and placed it over Jordyn's cut. I smoothed it out onto her skin and bent down to kiss it lightly. I laid her arm back on the bed and pulled the covers over her body, and kissed her cheek before grabbing the first aid kit and leaving Jordyn to sleep in peace.

i went back downstairs where the boys were sitting in the living room waiting for me.

"So where was she?" Louis asked.

"I can't tell you guys that...it's my secret place that I go to when I need to be alone and think" I said, hoping they wouldn't hound me with questions about it.

"Why can Jordyn know where it is but we can't?!" Niall said, pretending to sound hurt.

"Cause I showed it to her, and I go there when you guys annoy me, Jordyn doesn't annoy me" I said, letting out a small laugh.

"Heyyyy!" Louis said pouting.

"Sorry Lou" I said, messing up his hair.

"Why is half of your sleeve ripped off?" Zayn asked, pointing to my shirt.

"Oh that" I looked at my sleeve and panicked. What do I say?! "Um..a branch ripped it off" I said, my voice unsteady.

"Ohhh" Niall being the gullible one, believed me.

"Uh guys...can I talk to Harry alone?" Liam said, looking around the room at each of the boys.

"Sure" Zayn said before Louis jumped onto his back. Niall patted my back and followed Zayn and Lou out of the room.

I looked over at Liam and sat down on the couch across from him. His face was expressionless, I couldn't tell how he was feeling or what he was thinking, and that scared me.

"So..." I said, breaking the silence.

Liam was staring at the carpet in front of him, not looking at me. "Do you really like her?" He said, still not making eye contact with me.

"Yeah Li, this is different, she's not like the other girls" I said. He finally looked up; his eyes were still unreadable.

"Thats what they all say" He said.

"No but really, I would never use Jordyn, and I would never even think of disrespecting you like that, you know that. You always pick on me for not having a girlfriend or chasing after a girl, and I'm finally at that point, but of course its with your sister!" I said, letting out a small laugh to try and break up the tension.

"How do I know you aren't going to break her heart or mess with her?" Liam asked me.

"I can sit here for hours convincing you that I won't, but words are just words, so I guess all I can say is that I promise I will take care of her, and you'll just have to wait and see it yourself to believe me" I said, in hopes that he would allow me to be with Jordyn.

Liam sighed and rubbed his forehead. "I'm giving you one chance Harry, one chance"

"Thanks Li, I appreciate it" I said, smiling at him. "I won't let you down"

"Better not" Liam mumbled. I stood up and pulled Liam in for a bro hug.

"I'm gonna head off to bed, I'll see you in the morning" I said to him.

"Yeah me too, night Haz" Liam said before we both chased each other up the stairs laughing. I'm glad everything was back to normal, and I could be with Jordyn, thats if she wanted to. I haven't even thought about that. What if she doesn't want to be with me? I know its only been a few weeks since I've known her, but she seems like she likes me. I think I made it clear to her that I like her, but I think she's just scared, and I'm willing to take our relationships slow if that means she can be fully comfortable around me. I guess I'll figure that out tomorrow.
