I Understand. An AU/punk story.

We rejoin our friends and they watch in shock as we come back laughing, we take our seats and everyone tries to recover at the fight of us not trying to tear each others throats out. When everyone starts arguing about what they should do next Harry's arm finds my waist, his head dips down slightly.

"I don't know how or why, but thank you." He whispers.

"How about we go down to the coast!" Rae yells. I smile

"Oh my gosh yes!" I squeal. I look to Harry. "Can we?" He gives me a half smile and nods. "Yeah!" The girls all get out and run to the cars.

"We need drinks though!" Niall protests.

"We'll go to our place and get some, we'll meet you there. Get afire going!" Perri yells back as we all get in her car. Lauren and I in the back, Rae and her in the front.

"Why did we have to get the stuff?" I pout.

"Umm, hello! If we're gonna party I wanna look good!" Perri says as if I should have already known. We all laugh. It was a good point!

The other girls got ready, I loaned some clothes to Lauren. She looked amazing as usual. All of us did.

After hooking up Marcel to his leash and getting the booze and marshmallows. We jumped back in to the car and took the drive to the beach. It was the edge of the ocean and it was beautiful at night. Pulling up to the big deserted beach, the moon humongous and glistening on the black water. We heard hooting and screaming of our rowdy boys next to their 'huge man fire.' We all laughed and giggle and took our spots. My 'loyal' pup runs to Harry and sits at his feet. That dog sure did love him. Harry smiles at me across the fire as we all crack open our beers.

-

It all was going pretty well until the drunk ass Niall, who's sitting next to me, reaches over and gives me a nuggie. I scream and swat him as he ruins my hair.

"Catch me if you can!" He laughs an amazing laugh and runs down the sand. I yell in frustration and next thing I know we're all running up and down the beach.

Zayn gets splashed by Liam so now we're all screaming, running, AND trying to drench each other in the ocean water. I laugh and yell. Marcel runs and barks like a lunatic, getting himself soaking with water.

I run past Rae in about a foot of water, dodging her when she reaches out for me. I run and laugh until I see Harry a few feet away, watching with a huge smile on his face.

"Harry!" I yell at him. He beckons me to him. I giggle and run in place for a second before running straight at him. He understands immediately and bends slightly, opening his arms as I run and jump on him. Securing myself with my legs and his hands under my bum. He laughs and spins us around.

Making the mistake of spinning too fast, we collapse on the soft sand.

Laughing we roll on our backs, looking up at the beautiful black night sky that's glittered with diamond like stars. And in that moment as Harry rolled up to his elbow to look at me I knew.

I knew that looking in to those green eyes that shined brighter than the stars themselves, what I wanted.

I wanted him.

I needed him.

And he wanted me.

So I was done pretending what we felt wasn't there.

Right here and now all I know is that Harry Styles is who I need to be with.

"Harry?" I whisper, his face becomes serious, I sit up next to him.

"What?" He asks, gently, brushing a piece of hair away from my face.

"Do you still want me?" I look down at the sand.

"I never stopped, Lilian." He says simply. I smile at the ground. Then his hand cups my chin, forcing me to meet his eyes. His eyes wander to my lips once. I bite mine, trying to catch the breath hes stealing right from my lungs.

Then he leans in and our lips meet.

Pure ecstasy runs through me. Because right now I have found out where I'm supposed to be. It's at his side. Its a simple kiss but it means the world.

I pull back and look at him.

"Will you be mine again, Lilian?" He mumbles, ducking his head. Brushing his lips along my jaw bone. I close my eyes.

"Of course."

His lips are on mine again. My hands hold tightly on to his shirt, afraid he'll disappear. His hand entwines in my hair, holding it tight.

I whine through his lips, with out a hesitation he grabs my knees and rips me on to his lap. I wrap my legs around him and kiss him like never before.

The fire is hot as ever and his finger rip through my hair and slide up and down my back, occasionally squeezing my ass. Trying desperately to rip me closer to him. I grab the baby hairs and pull, angling his head so I can kiss him easier.

His tongue pushes my lips apart, circling the bottom one.

"Oh, Harry." I gasp when we finally need to pull away for air. By this time the others are yelling for us through the dark.

"Lilian, where have you been all of my life?" He mumbles, dropping his head on my shoulder, squeezing my waist tight. I giggle and rest my hair on his.

"Just waiting for you." He chuckles and securing his hands on my ass, gets up and carries me back to the group who scream and yell like crazy people when they see that we have obviously 'made up.'

We just laugh and sprawl out on the ground around the fire for a little longer. I sit in between Harry's leg and slouch on his chest. He kisses my head every once in a while and I feel so blissful. Like nothing can hurt me her eon this beach, this mini vacation we all took tonight was much needed.

-

We all giggle like idiots, coming in to the girl's apartment as the sun comes up. We let Marcel run off in to his usual sleeping spot while everyone else plops down on the floor, grabbing pillows from the couch and extra blankets. They make a huge sleep circle as the sun comes through the window.

But Harry and I don't join them, we lean against the couch a few feet away, me in between his legs again, his arms around me. We listen to their drunk talk until the last ones are sleeping. Harry laughs at his friends all passed out. I'm glad the two of us only had one beer each. Thi night wouldn't be the same drunk. I get up and cover Rae in the blanket Niall rolled over and stole on his sleep.

Before I turn around, Harry scoops me up and runs to my room. I squeal as quietly as possible as he jets off. Closing the door behind him. The room is still dark but the sun barely pooling through the window gives it a peaceful glow.

We crawl on to my fluffy bed and lay under my quilt, my head on his chest. His arms around me, we lay there. Happy with the fact we're together again.


I close my eyes and slip in to the barely sleeping mode until he whispers something that makes me go breathless.

"Lilian May Forest. I love you." Even though he's said it once before I can tell he means it so much more. Now we're together again. Now I'm expected to say it back.

But can I? Am I brave enough? Do I still have feelings for Lou?

Louis...

He made it clear who he wants.. right? And I did love Harry... He deserved to know.

I softly lift my head but am disappointed to see hes already asleep. His eyes closed peacefully.

"Harold Edward Styles. I love you too." It comes out a little breathy. But it's the first time I have ever told someone besides family and friends that I loved them....

A smile spread on his lips. I quickly ducked my head back in to him. He was awake! I blush and his arms constrict a little tighter, pretending not to hear my words. But knowing that both of us know he heard.
