Louis


As soon as Simon got up and walked out of the restaurant, I pulled out my phone and started typing as fast as I could.

I knew what Simon was doing.. He was trying to get inside my head, to make me stop liking Harry.. But I wouldn't ever let him do that.  As I sent a rather long message to Harry, I heard someone clear their throat in front of me. I looked up and seen Rick giving me a look of disapproval. "We're ready to leave now, Mr. Tomlinson." "W-where to?" He stared at me for a couple seconds then he said "You've got rehearsal today because there's another show tomorrow." I nodded then stood up while tucking my phone away. I let Rick escort me out of the fancy restaurant then we got back in the SUV. I stared out the window the entire drive then when we pulled up to our rehearsal studio, I seen Niall and Liam standing outside. I quickly jumped out and ran over to them. Niall engulfed me in a hug and quietly said "Hell, Mate.. Didn't know what happened to you and Harry.." I pulled back then hugged Liam. He patted my back and asked "What did happen, Lou?" Before I could answer, Another car pulled up. Zayn got out.. then right behind him, Harry climbed out. Zayn hurried over to give me and the other two boys a hug then I made eye contact with Harry....but he didn't come running to hug or kiss or greet me. 

He looked at the ground under his feet and picked up his pace, walking right past all four of us and into the studio. 

I think I actually felt my heart break as he walked by. Niall reached out and put a hand on my shoulder and I slowly turned to face the three boys next to me. "W-why.. why would he just.." Before I could finish my sentence, A couple tears fell down my cheeks and my three best friends pulled me into a group hug and told me it'll all be okay as soon as we're back in England. A few minutes pass then I wipe my face and try to calm down so we can go inside. Liam goes in first, probably planning to try and talk to Harry, then Niall keeps his arm over my shoulders as we follow Zayn into the small door. Once inside, we all start to sing, and I do my best... but my eyes kept wondering to my left where Harry stood at his microphone. Most of the time his eyes were closed as he sang, or he was looking at the ground or the wall in front of him, obviously doing a better job at keeping his eyes to himself than I was. Then we had to practice our song 18. 


Harry starting, of course..   "I have a heart.. and I have soul. Believe me, I will use them both." He took a deep breath then continued.. "We made a start, be it a false one I know.. baby I don't want to feel alone." His breaths were shaky and he backed away from his microphone a little as Zayn started his part.. "So kiss me where I lay down, My hands pressed to your cheeks. A long way from the playground" 

Then Harry took a really deep breath and I stared at him as he sang his part.. "I have loved you since we were 18.. Long before we both thought the same thing. To be loved and to be in love.." As his voice changed in pitch to sing his next line, His eyes flickered over to me but quickly went back to staring at the floor. "All I can do is say that these arms were made for holding you, Oh.. I wanna love like you made me feel... when we were 18" I looked over at Niall and seen him looking back at me.. He took a deep breath then started his part. "We took a chonce.. God knows we've tried.." He looked at me again then at Harry as he said "But all along, i knew we'd be fine"

He was trying to tell me that I'd be okay.. That Harry and I would be okay. A small smile took over my lips but I had to force back tears.. 

Liam stepped up to his microphone and sang out "So pour me a drink, Oh love. Let's split the night wide open! And we'll see everything we can, living love in slow motion motion motion" Then Zayn took hold of the microphone and shut his eyes as he sang the chorus again.. "So kiss me where I lay down my hands pressed to your cheeks! A long way from the playground" That's when we all started singing together.. We all took deep breaths and either shut our eyes or looked around as we started.. "I have loved you since we were 18! Long before we both thought the same thing! To be loved and to be in love! All I can do is say that these arms were made for holding you, Oh oh... I wanna love like you made me feel... When we were 18"
