I Understand. An AU/punk story.

Harry's P.O.V.

My alarm on my phone goes off, its a quit alert I'm re not to wake her up, quietly getting up from bed and tucking the blanket around her to keep her warm, I get dressed.

Adding my beanie I tip toe back to the bed, lean down, and leave a light kiss on her soft lips, brushing her hair back I can't help but smile at her. She was so incredibly beautiful yet modest about it, and extremely sexy yet she didn't even see it. She was a little odd ball.. but it didn't matter because she was mine...

I sneak out of our bedroom, close the door, feed the dogs, and leave, hoping to get back before she gets up.

Lily's P.O.V.

Groaning I roll over, expecting to bump in to Harry but instead just roll on to cold sheets. What? Flipping my head up and looking to my side, no ones in bed with me... I furrow my brows, where is Harry?

"Harry?" I call quietly in to the empty room.. No response. Groaning some more I get out from bed and get dressed.

Smiling down at the finished product I hear some clanking and clambering in the kitchen. Accompanied by a string of curse words by Harry. The hell?

"Harold?" I quickly jog from the room and in to the kitchen where I see a scowling Rae and Perri still in there pajamas at the kitchen table and Harry in the kitchen.... cooking? He flies around at his name.

"Morning." He says with a big smile. I could comment on how cute he is but I'm distracted by the smoking oven.

"You're killing our kitchen!" Perri yells at him, he gives her a look of irritation. Turning back to me he crosses over to us.

"How did you sleep?" He asks, stopping in front of me and placing his hands on my waist. "You look real hot, I must say." He says, biting his bottom lip. SO sexy... But wait. You're still mad at him, Lily!

"What are you doing to our kitchen?" And I don't say it in the nicest of tones either.. He smiles none the less and steers me to a dining room chair and heads back to the kitchen. Looking over to the girls Rae looks OK just worried and Perri looks.. well... like shit. Her eyes are bloodshot, her nose stuffed up and cheeks tear streaked. Even her pink hair seemed dull I take her hand.

"How are you feeling?" I ask her quietly. She shrugs a shoulder.

"I'm worried about him... He has a problem with this... it's bad for him... He - he needs help." My heart breaks seeing her so sad.

"We'll get him help. It's all going to be OK. They'll all get help. They all need it." I whisper since Harry is making his way back to where we are. He sets down plates in front of us filled with chocolate chip pancakes, going back to the kitchen he brings back syrup and a plate of bacon.

"Eat up, ladies! I know what we did was terrible, and this is me trying to make it OK... Even though I know it can't really substitute. I hope we all stay friends." We don't say anything. What are we supposed to say? I frown down at my plate. Harry takes a seat next to me and starts munching a piece of bacon. I take a bite of my food, pretty damn good, I raise my eyebrows at the girls. They grouch for a moment but eat their share. Once everyone's done Harry takes our plates and does the dishes.

Perri's cell rings and she frowns at it.

"It's him..." I feel bad for instantly. I know why drugs are such a bad deal to her and her mysterious boyfriend, her brother died of an overdose.... Everyone's quiet for a moment.

"I think you should answer it..." I tell her softly. She shakes her head, tears flooding her eyes.

"I don't know what to say!" Shes starting to panic. I give her a look and take her cell and click accept.

"Hello..?"

"Perri, baby? It's me, please. We need to talk." His voice is strained and tired.

"Yeah, no... It's, um, Lily."

"Lily?! Give the phone to Perri!" He snaps, I look to Perri and she shakes her head no. Before I can reply another phone rings.

"Zayn, shes real upset, nows not a good time." I plead.

"Lily, you let me talk to her right now or so help me!"

"Zayn you fucked up, NOT ME! Don't get all irritable with me!"

"Lily please!" He yells to me. I groan and slump my head back.

"Perri you need to talk to him!" I hiss to her, covering up the receiver part of her cell so he wouldn't hear. Her eyes get huge.

"I can't talk about this over the phone!!!" she sobs back.

"Fine! Zayn? Get your ass over here!"

"She wants to talk?!"

"YES, Hurry up before she changes her mind!"

"LILY!" Perri screeches at me, clawing at me to hang up. "NO!" I take my palm and put it on her forehead, holding her back from me with ease.

"I'll be there in five." Zayn hurries, hearing the commotion of Rae laughing, Harry yelling about colors, and Perri trying to wrestle me to the floor.

"You better be." I scold. He hangs up. "Perri, knock it off!" I snap, shoving her head back again.

"I look like shit, I need to get ready!" She screams, getting up, grabbing Rae's hand she drags her to her room. Harry who was taking cover in the kitchen, finishing the dishes makes his way over to me, pulling my chair out he motions for me to stand up, I obey and he puts his hands under my thighs, yanking me up in to his arms. I don't hold on with my arms though... I'm still mad at him. He carries me to the bedroom and drops me on my back, laying next to me.

"How was your breakfast?" I shrug and meet his eyes. "You're still mad, aren't you?" I nod but let him put his arms around me.

"Zayns coming over...To talk to Perri..."

"I know, I heard." He bites his lip.. "Do you think she'll take him back?"

"Do you think she should?" He lets out a big breath of air and thinks for a moment.

"I think if she loves him, she should try to help him through it.... Isn't that what people do when they love each other? Work through it?" He says as if hes deep in thought. I know hes right..

"Yeah, I guess you're right" He gives me his puppy dog eyes. "Harry, I love you." I hear my self saying. He looks almost surprised at the words.

"I love you too." He says softly, putting his head on mine, kissing my cheek. We hear the door open and close as Zayn enters the apartment. The screaming and crying starts not ten minutes later. "I think we should have a party tonight, get everyone to have some fun and just fucking relax." He suggests, I think about it. Martin gets out of the hospital today.

''That actually sounds nice... But I need to do some shopping first. Do you wanna take care of it?"

"Yeah, sure, do you want me to come with you?" He asks, getting up from bed.

"No thats OK, you'll be bored." He smiles, relieved he won't have to do any shopping. We get out shoes on and get ready to go, dropping me off at the mall he pecks my mouth and we say our goodbyes before he speeds off. But of course I don't go to the mall, once he's out of view I start the short walk to the hospital and arrive in Martins room.

"Hey!" I smile, coming in, hes dressed in regular clothes, packing up some stuff around the room.

"Oh, hey, how are you?" He asks happily, coming to give me a hug.

"Pretty good, you headed out?" He nods yes. "Well a few of my friends are having a party tonight, you should come." He frowns at me, instantly getting nervous again.

"Will Harry be there?"

"Well, yeah. But it'll be OK." I laugh. "He won't touch you, he doesn't know about you." He looks a little unsure but agrees none the less." We get him checked out and go down to his car, he brings me back to the mall and we find ourselves in a set of chairs in the cafeteria.

"No way! The packers are so much better!" He insists, slapping my arm. We were arguing about some football teams, sipping on coffee.

"Martin, we can't be friends if you say that again!" I giggle, he opens his mouth and pretends to be shocked and upset.

"OK, fine, you're right." He rolls his eyes but smiles at me.

"Mhmm usually am." I add a wink and he actually blushes a little bit. I'm about to comment on the color of his face when we hear burst of laughter coming in to the eating court, I turn around to see who its coming from...

Oh my god.

No way in hell.

"Oh my god, Martin, we have to go." I can barely even say, my knees growing weak under neath me.

Terror rushing through me as Jake and a bunch of his gang member make their way towards us.
