Another life

Talking

Louis POV

I wake up to my head pounding. I take an Advil and drink a glass of water. Everything that happened last night rushes to my mind. I remember that I told Harry we could talk, he carried me and drove me home, and that he left a note. I run back up stairs and look to see the note. It read: Good morning Louis, I figured we could meet at the Beachwood Cafe at 2:00pm. If that doesn't work you can text me and we can change the time. I hope you don't have to much of a headache this morning and I'll see you later.

  I finish reading the note and look at the time. Shit it's 1:30 and I still need to shower. I take a what feels like five minute but really 10 minute shower. I hurry up and get dressed. I throw on a black tank top, a green Addidas hoodie, a pair of black jeans, and lastly my vans. I grab my car keys and rush out of the door. I only have 10 minutes to get there so I try to fix my hair while I drive. Once I arrive to the parking lot a sudden wave of nervousness hits me. I pull my bottom lip between my teeth and walk into the cafe. I see Harry sitting near the back of the cafe with a cup of tea in his hand. I remember that he's never been a big fan of coffee, me into the other hand I love coffee. I walk towards him and take a deep breath. I sit down and Harry and I just look at each other, neither of us knowing what to say. Harry opens his mouth to talk but is interrupted by the waitress. "What can I get you hun?" She says and looks at me. "Can I get a vanilla iced coffee please" I reply with a smile and she heads to the back.

I look back at Harry. He opens his mouth, "Lou- Louis I'm so sorry I promise I never meant to hurt you. I don't expect you to forgive me but you need to know I'm sorry and I never meant for this to happen" he says truthfully. The waitress gives me my drink and walks away. "Harry why didn't you call or text" I say emotionless. "I honestly don't know, when I got there everything felt different. I became lonely, I was over worked, and I was depressed. I didn't text you when I got there because I was tired and fell asleep, the next morning I was woken up early and worked all day, I never had any time." He finishes. I roll my eyes. "You had time to call your mom, you had time to date another guy, you had time so why are you lying to me?" I ask desperately. "Did you not hear the part before that? I was depressed, I thought you could do better then me, find someone better for you. I called my mom because she would give me updates on you, I couldn't talk to you after all that time of not being able to talk to you because I knew you would be mad. I met Zayn because he works at SYCO with me. We recorded at the same time and he was there, he helped me find happiness and feel less lonely." Harry says and his eyes are tearing up.  "Yeah Harry well why you were getting with Zayn and not talking to me I made up every excuse in my head as to why you weren't talking to me.  I still dressed as myself, I acted as I usually did, but I had no friends. I was constantly bullied, told to kill myself like my dad did do you know how messed up and how hurt that made me, I was told I was worthless and that you weren't talking to me because you knew how worthless I was and I started believing those words I didn't change tho, one day I talked back to one of the guys that would beat me up. He beat me up badly and I mean badly, he didn't stop until we heard a crack and I screamed bloody murder, he broke my rib. I was alone, I had nobody but I still thought that you would maybe surprise me on my door step and give me a hug. I became severely depressed and insecure, I still am. The only person I really had through it all was Anne but even then it wasn't the same because you are her son and it was close to impossible to tell her everything I felt because I didn't want her to think of you badly. Everything changed when I saw the article saying you were dating Zayn, that's when I decided to become who I am now." I finish and I'm on the verge of tears. "Lou I'm so so sorry, words can't describe how sorry I am. You should know that all those times I came over to eat Oreos when I fell off my bike I didn't really fall off my bike, I had been beat up so they wouldn't lay a hand on you. When I left they promised me they wouldn't hurt you. God Lou I'm so fucking sorry" He says while running his hands through his hair. I never knew that, I never knew he went through that. I guess I see what he was saying about everything but it doesn't hurt any less. I start crying, it all just to much. Before I know it I'm pulled in to a hug, I tense at first but then his sent hits my nose, vanilla. I relax and he holds me tighter, we stay like that and just cry. I'm not sure how long we stayed there but the hug held so much emotion.

  Harry speaks up first. "Lou can we please be friends  please" he says desperately. "I don't know Harry, it's really hard for me to forgive but I don't want to stay mad forever. I'm not forgiving you, you need to prove and earn that. I will talk to you and we can attempt bring friends." I reply and for the first time since I've seen him he smiles so bright that his dimples show, and it melts my heart. The rest of the time we spend at the cafe we talk about everything that's happened in our lives. I even laugh which is something I never thought I would do with Harry ever again. Harry looks at his phone then back at me.  "I'm really sorry but I have to go, Zayn is calling me" he says and starts to stand up. Oh yeah Zayn, I forgot about him. "It's cool. Have fun" I say with a wink and walk out of the cafe. "Louis wait" he says and I turn around. "Why don't you come over on Saturday and we can play video games?" He ask with a smile. "Uh yeah sure" I reply with a smile. "Oh I also hope to see you at my lunch table tomorrow" Harry says and with that walks to his car. Maybe everything will be okay.
