Say Something

Chapter 16

PAST

Louis and Harry sit at their dining table, silent. The band had just agreed to go on hiatus, Louis is upset about it, and Harry has a secret that he is going solo. They are having supper.

"Will you pass me the salt Lou?" Harry asks.

Louis throws the saltshaker at Harry.

"What the hell was that for?" Harry asks.

"You fucking gave up on the band, you gave up on us! Why Harry? Why? A fucking hiatus really, is that really what was best! I'm so angry at you right now, I don't even want to talk to you!" Louis screams.

"Lou, I had to agree to the hiatus because I'm starting my own solo career."

"Harry Edward Styles, what?" Louis yells and as he stands up.

"Lou, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about it, I was scared of how you would react."

"I can't fucking believe you right now, you're leaving the band, and me to do your own thing. Do you want me to fucking walk out that door right now because I will."

"Lou, calm down, don't leave, I'm sorry, but I had to agree to a solo career because the band was going to break up at some point and I needed something to fall back to. I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry but I did what had to be done, I made the right decision, I know I did."

"Would you still make that decision if it meant losing me?"

"Of course, I will still make that decision because I would never lose you over something stupid like that."

"Fuck you! Fuck you, Harry Styles! I can't believe you would choose your career over me. We're done, I'm leaving and never coming back!"

"Lou, don't leave that's not what I meant."

"Sorry Harry, but I'm done with you."

"Lou, I'm sorry please don't go! I love you; we can fix this; we can fix us."

"It's too late to apologize." 

Louis walks out the door slamming it behind him, Harry sits in his seat crying, stabbing his fork into his roast beef.
