I stopped at the door and let out a loud sigh. Both my arms and hands were busy, so how was I supposed to open the door? Wow I did not think this through.

”Hello?” I whispered quietly to not wake Emma up. Of course no one heard me. I made an effort to knock on the door with my forehead. Then I remembered I could use my feet. I kicked softly but hopefully loud enough to make the lads inside realize I was waiting to be let in.

”Who is it?” Louis yelled. I cursed inside my head for him being so damn loud. But Emma was still asleep so it was all cool.

”Ssch!” I hushed. I think Louis heard me, because the other side of the door went silent and he opened it without making much noise.

”Is she okay?”

”She was pretty emotinal. And then she passed out like a light.”

”Oh god.” Louis said, worried. A second later he looked at me.

”Well don’t just stand there, come inside!” He waved me in. I shook my head to snap out of my paralysis and stepped in through the door.

”Hey Emma, Harry!” The guys entered the hall cheering. I contained myself from facepalming. Are they somwhow blind or sight disabled? Did they not see the sleeping girl in my arms?

”You’re waking her up!” I hushed again. Emma started moving and her eyes started to open up. Out of the blue I started an attempt to sing her back to sleep.

Settle down with me
And I'll be your safety
And you'll be my lady
I was made to keep your body warm
But I'm cold as, the wind blows
So hold me in your arms

It worked. Emma’s eyes had only had time to open halfway before her eyelids started falling down again. She was exhausted. I exhaled relieved. The other lads made apologizing faces and mimed ’I’m sorry’. I nodded and mimed back it was alright. The guys and Vivi moved out of the way so I could carry the sleeping Emma to my room. I made sure to step over the threshold with good margin, the last thing I wanted to do was to trip and drop her. That could actually end pretty bad. I sneaked across the room on light feet, well, as light as I could. It wasn’t easy while carrying someone and the wooden floor creaked like walnuts squished in a nutcracker. I put her down on my bed. She was shivering from cold and I tucked her in properly and checked that no body parts stuck out from under the quilt. I gave her a kiss on the check and whispered goodnight in her ear. Her hair tickled my face and I struggled to keep in a sneeze that would probably be enough to wake her up. I left her alone and turned the light off on my way out.

”We’re so sorry!” Liam apologized as soon as I had closed the door behind me.

”She’s back to sleep, it’s fine don’t worry.” I answered with a little smile.

"You sang that song very beautiful." Vivi said and stroke my hand. I chuckled to distract her from the fact that I was blushing.

”Did she tell you anything?” Niall asked.

”No, she was way too upset to talk. She didn’t ever hear what I was saying.”

”She’s pretty shaken up isn’t she?” Louis said.

”What was your first clue?” I replied sarcastically. I regretted it as soon as it slipped out of my mouth.
”I’m so sorry Louis I didn’t mean to take it out on you.”

”I get it Harry. It’s okay.” He gav me a pat on the shoulder.

”I wondered what happened...” Vivi chewed on the ends of her hair, an obvious sign she was very anxious. Zayn gave her a soft hug.

”We’ll hear about it when she wakes up again.”

I nodded in agreement at Zayn. We would. I was just really worried about my freckled little girl. Whatever had went down tonight she was not okay. I could tell that for sure.
