ONE MONTH LATER

Louis' POV

it's been a month since everything changed. Eleanor and I have resolved our relationship problems and now we are happiest we've been. On the other hand, Harry and my friendship seem to be wonky.

Harry and I are still best friends, but Harry seems to be a little isolated from me. I mean he's still Harry but I feel like there's something bothering me and he won't tell me. It all started when Eleanor and I got back together. He didn't speak to me for the entire day after he caught me and Eleanor kissing.

I told Eleanor about it and she assumes that Harry has a crush on me, but I don't think so. Harry and I are best friends and that's it. Also, if he did have a crush on me, he wouldn't have helped me resolved Eleanor and my relationship problem. But with him acting so uncomfortable around me, maybe it could be the reason why.

I told myself that I was going to talk to him after school. I just want to know if our friendship was just as strong as we were a month ago.

After school, I met Harry at his locker like always and we both began to walk home. There was an awkward silence from the both of us and I know that this is all wrong. I decided to start one.

"How was your day?" I asked.

"Mine was good, how about you?" Harry replied.

"Mine was good, we dissected a pig in biology class," I said.

"That's cool." After that, there was an awkward silence again. What the hell is going on?

"What's the matter Harry?" I asked making Harry and I stop walking.

"What do you mean?" Harry questioned.

"We could barely hold a conversation now. Is something bothering you?" I asked now crossing my arms over my chest.

"No, there's nothing bothering me."

"Then why are you acting all awkward and weird with me?"

"I've been acting like myself the entire time. Ever since you and Eleanor resolved your problems, you were the one acting weird."

"How was I the one acting weird?"

"Because you're the one thinking I'm weird. You've changed since you and Eleanor resolved your problems."

I was starting to get a little upset. "Please explain Harry," I said curiously on what he has to say to me.

"Most of the time, all you do is talk about her to the point where I'm uncomfortable. Second, you're the one who avoids me when you're walking down the hallways with her. Last but not least, you're the one who seems to be uncomfortable when you are with me. When you are uncomfortable, I'm uncomfortable."

"So you're saying it's my fault that I'm making you uncomfortable," I said back to him because he's making me feel like this whole friendship is wonky because of me.

"I'm not saying that-"

"You're not saying that? Harry you're just jealous that I'm in a relationship is that not correct?" That's exactly it. Harry is probably upset that I've been spending more time with Eleanor and he probably has a crush on me. Eleanor was right.

"Excuse me?" Harry said through his teeth.

"Eleanor told me that you had a crush on me," I said. Eleanor had been mentioning how Harry looks hurt when she sees him around. I think this is making sense.
