Letters To Harry

13 - This Moment In Time

"So...her name's really Alia?"

"Yes Zayn. Did you not hear the first four times?"

"Louis you're being insensitive..."

"You took the words right out of my mouth Niall."

I had been silent for the past 20 minutes while the other four boys discussed the recent events. As soon as I told Louis, he texted Zayn, who called Niall, who skyped Liam, who wasted no time in booking a flight from London to Toronto. Though they all had plans, they'd had no problem canceling them at a moments notice to help me.

I cleared my throat, and they all looked over to me. Louis (sitting next to me on the sofa) hit the TV remote and started up 'Love, Actually' for the third time. Niall (on the floor) stood up and gave me a hug. Liam (in the chair next to Niall's piece of floor) passed me a cup of tea which he'd just made. Zayn gave me another one of his famous quotes.

"Harry, life is full of choices that will shape your future. Choose wisely and you will find true happiness."

"Are you saying I shouldn't see her again?" I asked.

Louis sent Zayn a dirty look which Niall intercepted.

"Harry, he means you have to follow your heart. Do what you think is best."

"What if I don't know what's best?!" I exclaimed flopping into the cushions.

Liam gently shifted the cushions so my face was uncovered.

"Does she make you happy?" he asked me.

I nodded.

"When I'm with her, I feel like nothing bad could ever happen. Like as long as we're together, everything will be perfect."

Niall smiled.

"That's exactly how I feel with Emeline!" he told me. "You believe in our relationship so much, I think you should do the same with yours."

"On the other hand," Zayn said hesitantly, "Do you know for certain that she's worth it? I'm all for it mate, she seems like a lovely girl, but I don't want you to get into something that won't last."

I stared Zayn straight in the eye.

"My whole life I've been waiting for the perfect girl. When I kissed her, I knew without a doubt that she was it, and I'm NOT going to let her get away!"

Louis grinned.

"Looks like you've made up your mind Hazzaboo!"

"How about some food?"

Niall's suggestion, though not exactly well-timed, was a good one.

(8 pizzas and 7 Pepsi's later...)

Niall sat back contently, having eaten half the pizzas at least by himself plus 3 Pepsi's.

"You really should slow down Niall." Liam scolded. "You're not going to be 21 forever you know!"

Niall rolled his eyes.

"I knoooow Liam! But I am for now and I'm just planning on enjoying it while it lasts." he smiled mischievously and snagged the last two pieces of Liam and Zayn's pizza.

At that point, Liam gave up.

Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt!

"Zayn. Phone." Louis announced from where he had mysteriously ended up on the kitchen table.

"Gee, thanks for the effort Lou." Zayn said sarcastically.

"No problem!"
