Song For This Chapter:

I Would Do Anything For You- Foster the People

"I don't know what the plan is, but you can share with me
'Cause I'll be a listening ear to everything you say
I won't turn away and I'll listen"

Harry's POV:

"I'll go-" Maya begins but I'm quick to cut her off.

"No that's fine, I'll go get us drinks. Pina Colada, Martini, Whisky sours got it. Niall come with me to help carry" I spew out as I stand up practically ripping him from his seat by tugging on his shirt.

He doesn't protest, but stumbles at first from my sudden movements. I pull us over to the bar quickly.

"Dude" Niall says with an amused laugh, causing me to stop my search for the nearest bartender.

"I have important questions" I state quickly, wanting to order these drinks to get it out of the way.

"Good cause I have questions too" he responds with a knowing tone, one that would usually make me anxious but my current urgency for information is overpowering everything else right now.

I flag down the bartender, ordering our drinks along with a couple shots. God knows I need it right now.

"Niall" I state, finally turning to him and giving him my full attention.

"Harry" he responds matching my tone, waiting patiently for me to finally say something to give him insight.

"I need you to be honest" I preface.

I don't want him to sugar coat anything for the sake of not wanting the answer to sting or because he doesn't like what effect the answer may have.

He just nods, his body filling with anticipation but I can tell he's trying to hold himself back.

"Has Darlene told you anything about Louis?" I question, spitting out the words quickly needing them to finally leave my mind and be spoken out loud so I no longer have to be nagged by the question.

He nods his head, "Yeah" he waits for me to continue clearly knowing that the question will just lead into more.

"Do you know if they..." I begin but trail off. Niall furrows his eyebrows in confusion for a second before his eyes widen in realization.

"Oh" he says with surprise laced in his voice, "No, I don't think so" 

"She told me they've never slept together, I believe her but that doesn't mean they haven't maybe done...other stuff" I continue ranting, cringing at the mere thought of it. 

I feel like she may have left that detail out for my sake. If I questioned her on it I know she'd tell me the truth but I have a feeling me even bringing that up to her would give her the wrong idea.

I can't stand the idea of all the guys surrounding her having some sort of desire for her and with Louis being her 'best friend', for my own piece of mind I really just need to know if there is anything between them.

"From the way she talks about him I doubt it. I've never got the vibe she likes him in that way if I'm being honest." 

I nod my head already feeling a bit of relief. I knew she would have most likely told Niall and Maya about this earlier on in the summer, before I was even in the picture.
