This Is Us

Chapter 18- Part 2

Harry’s POV:

I woke up in the morning when the cold light of the warm day hit me. My eyes were dazed and I couldn’t really understand a thing that was happening around me. I could hear a really amazing  voice singing loudly in the ever so peaceful tune of the morning. I was trying to place the voice, when I heard a very familiar voice. I turned around and thought hard, I still hadn't opened my eyes, in a fear that whatever happened last night had been a dream. I placed the first voice as James and the second one as Niall’s. I open my eyes, and check my phone. It was 10 in the morning and we had planned a practice. Shit. I turn around and see her, but I spread my hand across the bed first. I wanted to be sure it wasn't all a dream. I found the warm body of a person close to my heart. Alyssa. I opened my eyes. Even early in the morning she looked as beautiful as she ever did. The sunlight hitting her face accentuated her cheekbones. What a sight she was. I shook her slightly and she opened her eyes. A smile spread across a face, a smile I wouldn't ever let tears replace. “Morning Harry” “Morning Alyssa” She glanced at the clock and immediately got up. She was still wearing those shorts, ugh. She opened her wardrobe, pulled out a shirt to wear over her tank top, combed her hair and she went down without even looking at me. Damn, I wore my shirt, did my hair and went down. James, Louis, Zayn, Liam were there but so was another female, Rue. She was jumping up and down while Alyssa stood with a smile. I understood what they were talking about, they were talking about me. I went and told the rest of them about me and Alyssa. Niall whistled and so did Louis. Liam patted my back while Zayn just smiled. But the hurt was evident in his eyes. My stomach grumbled, I was hungry.

As I made my way to the dinner table memories of last night flashed in. That dinner seemed so nerve wrecking. I had told her about my feelings towards her in front of Niall. I had a smirk since I knew when Alyssa would come in same memories would replay in her mind too. I picked up an apple and a toast for Alyssa when Niall and Rue walked in. They had a grave look on their face and that was enough to wipe off the smirk from my face. Rue cleared her throat and spoke, “Harry, its Alyssa we are talking about. I get it you like her and all, but if you let a freaking tear drop from her eyes, I swear to God you wouldn't be able to date anyone because your ;lovely face wouldn't be lovely anymore.” Next Niall spoke, “Harry, we arent kidding. If this relationship breaks her even a tiny bit more you’ll have to break up. How much ever that would hurt you, you will leave her alone. We are giving you one chance till you screw it up, and this is your last chance.” I nod, “I cross my heart and I hope you kill me, I will never ever let Alyssa cry and never will I let our relationship break her.” Niall smiled and Rue just walked off. As soon as I thought everyone was done, Louis and Zayn walked in, great. Louis went first, “Okay so look, I have known Alyssa since she was small. But during seventh I became close to Daniel, and he used me to get Alyssa. Whatever happened that night was majorly my fault. And now she has finally trusted someone, yes Zayn she didn't actually like you she was dating you because she told Harry she was dating you, so Harry if you break her trust or you break her trust me all your bones will be broken. And I swear you wouldn't want it to reach such an extent that I need to tell everyone about your past, because sure as hell yo aren't all goody-goody shoes.” Hell, he knew everything about me and was using it against me. But little did he know that I loved Alyssa more than anything in this world. Zayn spoke next, “I hardly care if Alyssa like dme or not, but I do care for her. And its clear on her face, she really likes you. So please, its a request, treat her like shes a princess. Treat her in the best way possible because she deserves nothing less. I don't hold a grudge against you but against myself. I am one of the reasons she is broken and I don't want you to become another me. So just love her right.” I nodded and hugged Zayn. I decided to go and take a bath while they set up the instruments and all. I went up and thought about Alyssa. Its like that all thats there in my mind these days.
