The Wedding ✔

Chapter 28

Louis stared at his phone in a shock. Harry had called him and then Harry had hang up on him. Why would Harry do something like that? Louis didn't know what to do, and his heart was racing and mind spinning.

Harry had called him.

"Louis? What did Harry say?" asked Ed.

"Nothing", Louis managed to answer. "He said nothing."

It was quiet for a moment and then Louis felt a hand on his shoulder and Niall's voice saying, "C'mon, buddy. Let's go buy some hangover-food."

Ed agreed quickly and since Louis was part of the hangover team, he dropped his phone to his bed and walked out of his bedroom.

They walked to the pizzeria a few blocks away and when they sat down and waited their pizzas, Niall leaned closer to Louis.

"So, do you want to talk about that phone call?" asked Niall, frowning slightly.

"Yeah, because you know, we can listen if you wanna rant?" Ed added.

"No, guys", Louis said absently, staring at his hands. "I'm fine."

He really didn't want to talk about the phone call or Harry or anything. He had a killer headache and he was hungry so he really didn't need to talk about Harry.

Their pizzas arrived and they ate in silence since Niall was the only one who wasn't suffering at that moment. Niall and Ed played rock, paper and scissors about which one should pay the pizzas and Niall lost.

"It's only fair that you pay our food since you are the only one who managed to wake up without feeling hangover", Louis pointed out, Ed nodding in agreement.

"It's not my fault you two are losers", said Niall and paid their food. Then they walked out and Ed and Louis leaned against Niall for support. "Oh, come on!"

"Shut up, love", muttered Ed. "That food made us really tired and I think my hangover only got worse."

"I might throw up", Louis admitted, and couldn't even smile gleefully when Niall groaned and half-carried them back to Louis' flat.

Louis walked straight to his bedroom and collapsed on the bed groaning loudly. He heard Niall and Ed arguing over which TV Channel they should watch and rolled his eyes. Only then he noticed his phone.

The memory of Harry's broken voice whispering Louis' name came back and Louis bit his lip. He hadn't expected Harry to call. Hell, Louis didn't even look who was calling when he answered. Now he wished he would have.

But would it have changed anything? Louis didn't know.

He took his phone and unlocked it. He had received a voicemail which was odd because he never got voicemails. Curiosity filled his body and he played the voicemail and he gulped when he recognized Harry's voice.

"I take back what I said about how I shouldn't have called you because it was a lie. I called you for a reason which would be that I needed to tell you something... You're an asshole. You used me, told me that I ruined your life and left. Twice. I'm fucking angry at you but I'll deal with it 'cause Zayn is my friend and apparently, for some odd reason, he likes you so you need to get your shit together and apologize me."

Louis mouth was hanging open. Mainly because he had never heard Harry speaking so fast but also because damn, Harry's words really, really hurt. Louis dropped his phone and just stared at his wall without actually seeing anything. The whole voicemail felt surreal.

Had Louis really hurt Harry that badly? Okay well, obviously, but what about Louis himself? Harry had started it so Louis wasn't using anyone and, besides, Harry was the reason why Louis apparently had a crush now which, by the way, was harder to get rid off than what he had thought.
