Saving Him

Chapter 14

Chapter 14
I don't understand why Harry said that to me. Louis doesn't even like me and even if he did am I really that unlikable? That just made me feel even more insecure than I already am.
I put on the t-shirt and shorts that Harry gave me, even though the shirt looked like a dress on my body, and make my way towards Louis' room.
"Louis?" I knock on his doors.
"Come in." He responds.
I walk in and find him lying on his bed, face down.
I sit next to him and rub his back as he sighs.
"I really screwed up, huh?" He mumbles.
"What matters is what you do from now on," I tell him.
He looks up at me. "I'm not sure if I'm ready to become a dad."
"You'll be an amazing dad." I assure him.
"No I won't!" He shouts. "I'm never home, gone for months, and I'm still so young."
"How do you think she feels, Louis? Don't you think she's scared too."
He sighs and starts crying. "I haven't talked to her in a week because I'm such a duechebag."
"You're not a duechebag," Harry interrupts from the door way.
"If you're here to point out all my mistakes then get out." Louis commands.
Harry just walks closer to us and sits on the bed next to me.
"You're my best friend, Louis, and you're going to be the greatest dad." He tells him.
"Just talk to her, she's going to understand, but you need to be there for her." I say, wiping his tears away from his face. Harry watches me intently as I do so.
"Thank you." Louis says as he composes himself and gets up off the bed. "If you'll excuse me, I've got a baby mama to call up."
I smile and get up off the bed along with Harry.
"If you need anything we're here for you bro." Harry tells him as he ruffles his hair.
I follow Harry out of the room and into the kitchen.
"Louis still has some tea on the counter, but it may be a bit cold." Harry says.
I ignore him, as childish as that sounds.
"Do you want something to eat?" He pushes.
I stand at the counter and play on my phone.
"Are you still mad at what I said earlier?" He huffs.
"It was completely uncalled for." I respond, refusing to look him in the eye.
"When I said that it was stupid that Louis fell for you, I meant that it's dumb because he's going to be a dad." He explains.
"You had no right to say that he likes me!" I yell at him.
"It's true though!" He yells right back.
"Even if he did, why do you care so much?" I ask him. "I don't like him like that anyway."
Harry comes over and sits on a stool next to me.
"We may have had issues," I snort, "but I still care about you and didn't want you to get heartbroken."
It's funny he says that when he's broken my heart already. Probably more than once.
"I don't believe you." I respond.
"I wish we could start over." He pleads.
"We've already started over! Remember?" I yell.
How could he forget out little encounter at the grocery store.
"I'm extremely confused with my life right now, Lucy, you have to understand that." He says reaching for my hands to hold them.
"It's late Harry and I'm tired." I say, moving my hands away from his.
"I can't stand not being near you."
"What does that even mean! You're confusing me!" I yell at him.
"It means I miss our friendship! I miss having you next to me and listening to me!" He says sounding frustrated.
"Harry-"
"No let me finish! I love how you listen to me and think that I'm some important person when I'm really just a piece of shit. I'm confused and clumsy and extremely gullible, but you didn't care and I completely ruined our friendship by letting a girl get the best of me." He finishes now on his knees in front of me.
Never would I have thought I'd see the day when the Harry Styles is begging me to be his friend again. The thing is, I don't know if I can just be his friend. I want to show him what real love is. What he has with Nalani isn't real. He deserves something real and I want to give that to him as crazy as that may sound.
"Harry please get up." I say reaching down for him to help him up.
"Until you forgive my stupidity I shall stay at your feet." He says now holding onto my legs like a whiny little boy.
I sigh. "I forgive you Harry."
He looks up happily.
"But if you really pull this shit again that's it for our friendship." I warn him.
He jumps up and crushes me into a hug.
"I won't let you down bestie!" He says picking me up.
Oh this friendship is going to give me a headache.
"So where am I sleeping?" I ask him once he finally let go.
"I'll sleep on the couch, you can take my room." He says.
If I was a normal girl I'd tell him that he can sleep next to me. Since I'm finally using my head to think, I decide maybe that's the best option.
"I can just sleep in Louis' room." I joke with him.
"Ha ha very funny." He smirks.
"So I guess I'll see you in the morning?" I tell him as I move towards his room.
"Good night bestie!"
I smile at him, "Sweet dreams Harry."
