PIPER'S P.O.V.

"FUCK!"

I looked through the peephole and sure enough, all I saw crowding the hallway was an insurmountable number of girls, screaming and holding up anything they could think of to have the boys sign.

"How do you guys deal with this all the time? What do we do?"

I was slightly panicked since our door didn't seem very sturdy and they were starting to bang on it really hard.

"I can call our security but I don't know what they can do. You should probably call campus security and tell them there is a mob at your door."

I nodded and went back into my room to find my cell phone before walking back to the kitchen. Liam and Riley were still in her room. Why didn't Niall bother them? I looked on the fridge, where we had a list of school numbers and found the one for the campus police. As I dialed, Niall sat back down with Zayn and Louis and Harry stood nearby me, leaning against the kitchen counter.

"Campus police, is this an emergency?"

"Uh, hi. Yeah, it's sort of an emergency. There are a very large amount of girls screaming and hitting my door."

Silence.

"Do you know why they're there?"

"Yeah, I have an idea... It might be because we have 5 celebrities in our dorm?"

"Oh. So you're not exaggerating are you? What dorm are you in?"

"32B in the Straz building."

"I'll send some guys over now. Just keep the door locked."

"That won't be a problem."

I hung up the phone and turned around to Harry who was smirking. At a time like this. He had set a chair against the door to hold it in place, just in case.

"What?" I nervously questioned his expression.

"Nothing. You're just cute when you're stressed."

I looked away shyly, unable to actually let out a laugh. He pulled me toward him laughing into my neck. I suddenly realized what little I was wearing, making me feel uncomfortable with the other guys around. When Niall told us what happened, Harry threw me a flannel and pair of his boxers. I pulled Harry by his hand behind me back into my bedroom.

"I guess we'll just have to wait this one out."

He raised his eyebrows at me playfully and I couldn't help but to roll my eyes at him as I fall back into the heap of sheets on my bed. He walked over to me, wearing only his briefs, and jumped onto the bed, taking me by surprise. He kept jumping, up and down and it actually drove me a little crazy.

"Harry, what are you doing?"

He didn't seem to care that I wasn't amused. I laid my head back into my pillow and covered my face with my hands. Everyone at school is going to hate me now and I'm not going to see him for a long time. Harry stopped jumping and plopped down next to me, laying his head on the corner of the pillow that was still free.

"What's wrong, Piper?"

I was overwhelmed. I tried to stop them but tears began to pour and as soon as they started, I knew there was no stopping.

"Piper, don't cry. Talk to me. I'm right here."

I took a deep breath, sniffling a little.

"It's just a lot to take in. I'm still not used to being with you and then this," I pointed to where the front door would be, outside of my room, "and now you'll be leaving and god only knows when I'll see you next."

He wrapped his arms around me tightly, making me release more sobs into his shoulder.

"There, there. I don't like it either but I'm trying to take advantage of the time we do have! Hell, I'm even a bit relieved by the mob since we don't have to go clubbing anymore!"

I laughed at that comment and knew that Niall would be pissed if he heard him say that.

"You're just more optimistic than I am, I guess."

I let myself stay in his embrace, resting my head in the groove of his muscular shoulder. This feels so nice.

"I have something for you. I was going to wait until later tonight, or maybe even in the morning but it might make you feel better."

I pulled away and looked at him, shocked.

"You got me something? Why did you do that! I didn't get you anything. I should have since we won't see each-"

He cut my rambling off with a soft kiss, pulling me into him again.

"I didn't want you to get me anything, Piper. I did this just because I wanted to."

He pulled away and leaned over the side of the bed, returning with a large envelope from his bag..

"Here. Open it."

He had a huge grin on his face as I sat up to rip open the seal of the thick paper. I pulled out a 3 pieces of paper and a picture. The first letter was from Harry. Hand written.


Piper,

In the very short time that I've known you, you have made me feel better about myself and about life than I have in a very long time. You make me feel normal. This gift is simply to show you how much you already mean to me and how much I respect you. I think that you are going to have a huge impact on others' lives and I hope that this can be the start.

Yours truly,

Harry


I glared at him with tears coming back to my eyes as I turned to the next sheet of paper, putting the rest on my bed.


Dear Ms. Piper Nielsen,

We are so grateful for your desire to help the Save the Children Foundation in such an honorable way. Your donation will be able to build a new home for over 40 orphans and vulnerable children in Cambodia and much more. We can not think you enough for the caring attitude you have the children of today. We have included pictures of the kids you will be helping and would love to keep you updated on their progress as this home is built. We look forward to working with you in the future and would like to honor you at a charity auction in December. It will take place in New York City and we will send you a formal invitation as the date nears. Please let us know if you will be unable to attend. We look forward to meeting you in person.

Very Sincerely,
Carolyn Manchester C.E.O.
Save the Children Federation, Inc.

At this point, my cheeks were tear-stained and I was unable to move or speak. I looked up at Harry and he was smiling, ear-to-ear. I looked back down and reached for the picture which was underneath a certificate, containing my name and the amount of the donation. $2.5 million dollars.

"Harry, this is too much."

I reached the picture and finally let a small smile appear on my face when I saw a large group of children of all different ages. I knew what to expect; I had done a lot of research on what awful things children dealt with around the world. They were all obviously hungry. Some of them had bruises and looked as if they were beaten many times in their lives, barely escaping with their lives. These kids were going to have a different fate. Because of Harry. Because I told him that I wanted to help them. All of them could be happy and healthy adults one day.

"Do you like it?"

I chuckled as salty tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.

"Harry, it's the best gift anyone could ever give me. Thank you so so much. I can never thank you enough."

I jumped up from my spot, attacking him with a tight hug, kissing his cheeks and lips about ten times.

"Easy, tiger. I'm glad you like it."

"You'll go with me to the auction, right?"

"It's a date. We'll have to get you something nice to wear, too."

He winked at me and pulled me down onto the bed, wrapping the blanket around us as he kept a fast hold on me. He looked really happy. It seemed as if the second I opened the gift, his face lit up. That was something so wonderful about him. He had such a big heart and cared so much about others. He was happiest when everyone else was happy. Well, apparently besides the crowd of girls still trying to get into our dorm.

After laying there for about fifteen minutes, cuddling and kissing, there was another knock on my door. This time, we just announced that the door was unlocked since we were both still mostly dressed. Surprisingly.

"Hey, sorry to bother you guys. I think security has the situation under control. It got quiet and I only see about two girls out there and a guard by the door. Just wanted to let you know."

Niall looked like he wanted to say something else and Harry seemed to have known what.

"Niall, how about you guys all go to the club. I think we want to stay here."

"Okay! Fine. I guess it is later than we expected anyway. I don't think Liam will want to go. They're still in her room!"

He raised his eyebrows suggestively at the last remark and I couldn't help but to smile at Riley's possible bravery. If she hadn't talked to me about wanting to lose her virginity, knowing them, I would have assumed they were playing a board game and listening to music. Either way, she seemed happy.

"Alright, well let us know if you, Zayn and Louis end up going so we can keep a look out for the mob."

Harry seemed to be hurrying Niall out of the room and was also ensuring that I was completely covered by the blanket since the shirt I was wearing of his was mostly unbuttoned. Was he getting possessive? It was kind of adorable. Niall left the room, shutting the door behind him.

"Are you worried about him seeing me in your underwear?"

I made a sarcastically pouty face, causing him to roll his eyes.

"I just wanted him out of here so we could resume our snogging. I'm rather enjoying it."

He rolled me over onto my back, surprising me and forcing a monstrous laugh out of me. He hovered over me and placed playful, wet kisses all over my face. It all felt so... right.

Maybe he wasn't the only one who was happy.

Notes

I hope you guys are enjoying it :) Let me know what you think <3
