Twenty Two

Harry's P.O.V

I woke up the next morning in the most uncomfortable position ever. When I got to Jordyn's room last night she was already sleeping, so I put the two chairs together and made somewhat of a bed, but it didn't really work out that well. My neck was stiff, and my back was so sore. 

I stood up and stretched my body. I looked at the clock; it was already 10:30. I can't believe Jordyn was still sleeping, well actually I can. That girl can sleep for days! I had no idea what time she was going to wake up, so I brainstormed ideas on how to get her to forgive me. 

Oh I got it! I quietly walked out of the room and went to the main desk.

"Excuse me do you have a pad of paper and a pen I could borrow?" I asked politely.

"Sure" The older looking woman mumbled. She passed me a pad of paper and a blue pen and continued what she was doing. Wow, rude much?

I walked back into Jordyn's room and sat down on the chair, and started to come up with lyrics.

After about five minutes I came up with the first verse and hummed it to myself to make sure it sounded right. When I was confident that it did, I moved onto the next verse.

After about 30 minutes, I finally came up with a finishing product. Now I just had to sing it out loud to make sure it made sense and sounded good. I cleared my throat and started.

If you're pretending from the start like this,

With a tight grip, then my kiss

Can mend your broken heart,

I might miss everything you said to me,

And I can lend you broken parts,

That might fit, like this,

And I will give you all my heart,

So we can start it all over again

Jordyn's P.O.V

I woke up from a deep sleep to someone clearing their throat. Who was that? A nurse? Liam? I kept my eyes shut and continued to listen for another sound, but someone started to sing. And not just anybody, it was Harry.

If you're pretending from the start like this,

With a tight grip, then my kiss

Can mend your broken heart,

I might miss everything you said to me,

And I can lend you broken parts,

That might fit, like this,

And I will give you all my heart,

So we can start it all over again

Was this about me? And did he make that up on his own? His voice sounded so beautiful, but then I remembered that I was mad at him. I really wanted to know some answers. My eyes fluttered open and I slowly sat up in bed.

"Jordyn" Harry said, scooting the chair closer to me. "How are you feeling?"

"A lot better" I looked down at the IV that was still in my arm. "That song.."

Harry interrupted me. "...is for you. I know I messed up by reading your diary if I could take it all back I would, but I can't, so the only thing I can do is apologize with a song until you forgive me" He gave me puppy dog eyes.

I know it was wrong of him to read my personal stuff, but theres nothing I can do about it now, there's no point in being mad at him anymore. And besides, who can resist that face?

"Can you sing that for me again?" I asked quietly. Harry nodded and smiled, then began to sing again.

Just as I was about to say something to Harry, one of the nurses came in.

"You know you have a crowd of patients outside with their ears pressed against the wall so they can hear you sing? You have a wonderful voice" The woman said to Harry.

Harry accepted the compliment and thanked her, and she walked back out of the room. He turned his attention back onto me, and waited for me to speak.

"It's a beautiful song, well it's not really a song it's kind of like a verse, but I don't kn-"

"Jordyn" Harry cut me off, "Stop being awkwardly cute and forgive me already" He demanded in a playful way.

"Alright..." I said.

"So you forgive me?!" Harry sat up straighter.

I nodded my head yes.

"YES!" Harry jumped out of his chair and gave me a bone crushing hug.

"Harry?" I choked out.

"Yes love?" He answered with his head in my neck.

"You're kind of hurting me" I laughed. He instantly pulled back.

"I'm so sorry" He apologized.

"It's okay. Now can we get this damn needle out of my arm and go home?" I complained.

"Of course, I'll go get the nurse" Harry stood up and walked out of the door.

I know I forgave Harry so quickly and easily, but us not talking and me being mad at him would have solved nothing. I'd rather have Harry in my life instead of having him there but ignoring his presence, that's just not right.

Harry came back in with a nurse and she took the IV out of my arm and did some last minute tests, then allowed me to go home.

------------

Harry and I got home a little after noon, and all of the boys were now awake. The boys greeted me as I walked in the door, but I quickly slipped out of their grip and ran upstairs.

"Where are you going?!" Harry yelled as I ran up the stairs.

"To hide my diary in a better spot!" I giggled.

"Good idea!" Harry replied.

As soon as I got back downstairs Harry picked me up and spun me around.

"Harry you're going to make me pass out again!" I laughed. He stopped, but still kept me in his arms.

"I'm gonna make you a nice, big, cheeseburger, with tater tots, and you're going to eat all of it" Harry demanded.

"And if not, I'll eat the rest for ya" Niall chimed in.

"I'm starving, so there probably won't be any food left over. Sorry Niall" I said, as Harry placed me on the ground.

Niall pouted, so I ran over to him and gave him a hug. It's so crazy how when I first moved in with the boys I was so shy and nervous to be around them, but now they are all like my brothers, well besides Harry, and I feel so comfortable around them. It's amazing how much your surroundings can affect you.

"I don't know if you feel up for it but me and the lads are going in the pool, you're welcome to join us" Liam said.

"I'm actually feeling great right now, so yeah I'll join you guys" I said.

"Heyyy! I wanna go in the pool too!" Harry complained.

"You can come in after you make me food" I stuck my tongue out at him.

"Fine..." He huffed.

"Alright lads, and Jordyn, lets get our bathing suits on and well meet in the backyard!" Louis yelled, then ran off to his room.

I kissed Harry on the cheek quickly before heading upstairs.

"Thats all I get?! Comeonnnn" Harry whined.

"I'll only kiss you if the food is good!" I yelled from upstairs.

I didn't wait to hear Harry's response and walked into my closet. After trying on countless numbers of bathing suits, I finally picked a bright green suit. (Picture on side) I kept debating on not going swimming, simply because I didn't want them to see me in a bathing suit, but then I realized that the boys don't care what I look like, they like me for me not for my body. Harry taught me that. And over the past day or two I've been gaining some of the weight back that I had lost from not eating, so I looked healthier. So I sucked it up and put the bathing suit on. I slipped on a pair of jean shorts and headed back downstairs.

The boys were already outside in the sun when I got downstairs. Harry was by the grill, cooking my burger. I opened the back door and walked over to him.

"Dayummm" He said, in an American accent, looking me up and down.

"Shutup Harry" I rolled my eyes at him and playfully pushed his shoulder.

"Oh come on you know I'm kidding" He smiled at me, and pecked my cheek. "Your burger is almost done, and the tater tots are in the oven inside, so do you want to eat now or after the pool?" 

"I'll eat now, I'm starving" I said. Harry nodded and took my burger off the grill and put it on a plate.

"I'll be right back" He said, and went inside.

While Harry was gone I sat at the table and watched the boys play in the pool. Louis was on Liam's shoulders and Niall was trying to climb up them so he could get on Lou's shoulders. It was quite a funny scene to watch. Zayn was sitting on the side of the pool dangling his feet in the water; he didn't know how to swim. Poor Zayn.

A few minutes later Harry came back out with my cheeseburger and tater tots on a plate, a bottle of ketchup, and a glass of lemonade and set it in front of me.

"Thanks Harry, you're the best" I said, popping a tater tot into my mouth.

I was almost done with my food when I realized Harry was still sitting with me, and not swimming with the lads.

"Aren't you going to get your bathing suit on?" I asked him.

"Well I was going to wait for you to finish, but now I realize that you have to wait 20 minutes to go in the water so in that case..." Harry got up from his chair, "I think I'll go get changed now"

"Are you serious? You really believe that myth that you have to wait 20 minutes after you eat to go swimming?" I asked.

Harry nodded proudly. "And you're going to abide by that rule missy" He pointed a finger at me.

I put my hands up to surrender. "Okay, okay, now go" I shooed him into the house.

I decided I would sit with Zayn while I waited 20 minutes. That rule is so stupid, but if it made Harry happy then I guess I would go along with it. I took off my jeans shorts and left them on the chair, then went to go sit next to Zayn.

"Hey Jord, are you going in?" Zayn asked me, pointing to the water.

"Harry's making me wait 20 minutes because I just ate" I complained.

"Who believes that law now-a-days?" Zayn asked.

"I know right?!" I replied. A few seconds later I heard the back door open.

"Jordyn Rae Payne!" Harry yelled. I turned around and saw Harry marching towards me. What a diva.

"I thought I told you no swimming until the 20 minutes is up!" He said in a sassy tone.

"Harry, only my feet are in the water" I giggled.

"Fine. If you get a stomach cramp then don't come crying to me" Harry huffed. I laughed at his attitude, but then screamed after Harry jumped into the pool, splashing me and Zayn.

The boy were right; Harry really does look like baby Tarzan when his hair is all wet. It was so cute.

Harry swam over to me and shook his wet hair. "Are you coming in?" He grabbed a hold of my hips.

"I can't I still have 10 minutes to wait!" I said playfully.

"Oh screw that" Harry lifted me off the side of the pool from my hips and brought me into the water. I squeeled from the coldness, and held onto Harry to keep me warm.

"Go underwater, you'll get used to it" Harry said. I nodded and held my breath, then went under.

I came back up and gasped. Even though it was mid summer, the water was freezing!

----------

The lads and I played in the water for a bit, then Liam, Louis, Niall, and Zayn got out, leaving me and Harry. They all went to play with water guns, while me and Harry just swam around.

After a few minutes I decided I wanted to get out. "I think I'm gonna get out" I said to Harry, heading towards the ladder.

"Me too" Harry followed me. We both got out of the pool and headed towards the table, where my towel was. I unfolded it and wrapped it around myself.

"Crap." I heard Harry say.

"Whats wrong?" I turned around to ask him.

"I forgot a towel!" He exclaimed.

"Here" I took the towel off my body and wrapped it around both of us, "We can share"

Our bodies were now pressed up against each other, facing each other, and Harry was smirking.

"I like this" He wiggled his eyebrows up and down. I giggled and rested my head on his chest, trying to warm myself up with Harry's body heat.

After a few minutes of trying to dry off and warm up, Harry kissed the top of my head. I looked up and him and smiled. His curls were forming again and were now dripping beads of water. He gave me a half smile and looked down at my lips, then back at my eyes, then my lips again. He leaned closer and pressed his wet lips against mine, and I kissed back. He dropped the towel that was around us and snaked his large hands around my waist, and I moved my arms around his neck. He drew my body closer to his, which made my mouth open slightly, and Harry took that oppertunity to let his tongue enter. After making out for a few mintes we pulled apart, and rested our foreheads on one another. I saw the goosebumps that formed on Harry's body and smiled, then pressed my lips onto his one more time. As I was about to pull away from his lips, water was squirted at us, causing us to jump.

We looked over and saw Louis aiming a water gun at us. 

"You better watch it Tommo!" Harry yelled, then ran off to chase Louis down. 

After watching the two go back and forth trying to chase each other, Harry finally tackled Lou to the ground and stole his water gun, squirting Louis multiple times until he surrendered. Harry got up from the grass and walked back over to me.

"He won't be bothering us anymore" Harry smiled, and kissed me one last time.
