The Eternal Rose-Forever and Always.

Chapter 43 - Part 2.

Harry's POV.

"Oh. You're back now? This late? Don't tell me you started on that PDA stuff already," Louis says as soon as I enter the shared apartment.

"Hello to you, too." I say, rolling my eyes.

"So you actually were...? That's fast, man." He wiggles his eyebrows.

"Shut up, Lou."

"Okay, okay, Lover boy."

"Thank you." I groan as I sit on the couch with my eyes closed.

"So... is she still good?" He asks, amused.

"Shut up or I swear I'll kill you."

"Did she do something?" He asks, suddenly serious.

"Are you bipolar or something?"

He shrugs as he asks again. "Did something happen?"

I sigh. "I don't know."

He starts saying something as I zone out.

- Flashback -

"Could you please help me?" She asks as she turns around, giving me access to her back.

I smirk as I help her pull up the zipper.

"So how do I look?" She asks as she turns around once again to face me.

I check her out in her dress. She was so beautiful.

"Beautiful." I say as I lean down to kiss her.

- Flashback end -

"Dude, you're so whipped." Louis remarks as I snap out of my thoughts.

"Shut up." I groan. "And stop annoying me."

"Only if you tell me what happened there and yeah, please spare the details, you know!" He says, amused.

"Louis, is sex is you all think about ?" I ask him.

"You spent 2 hours at her apartment, anyone would feel suspicious!" He says.

"Whatever." I frown.

"So would you do the honors of telling me what exactly happened there?" He makes a puppy face.

"It doesn't suit you, the puppy face."

"Oh, stop beating around the bush. Just tell me what the hell happened."

I roll my eyes but answer him anyway.

"I went there to check on her, initially. Then Brent, her best friend came and said something about him leaving. I asked her about him leaving and she told me how he was leaving in almost a week from now. She grew emotional whilst telling me and I asked her about Brent. Like how they met and all. She told me about it all. But while telling me, she mentioned about her... past, how he helped her to handle with the 'pain'. I then asked her about her past. She refused to tell me." I am angry again as I thought about it. "I mean, she caused me so much pain, and she can't even tell me? Bullshit!"

"Woah, woah. Calm down Harry!" He says. "And what exactly you asked her?"

"That 'what was so bad about your past that you happened to be an emotional wreck and couldn't seem to recover.'" I tell him.

His jaw drops and he gives me 'are you serious?' type look.

"Dude. Why are you giving me that look as if I have murdered someone?" I raise my brow's.

"Because it seems that way only. You seriously asked her this?" He asks , hopefully praying that I didn't but sorry Lou , I did.

"Yep. I did ask her. I couldn't bear that shit she was going on and on about Brent. I know how much that guy means to her , probably they are more than best friends but there was a purpose that I asked that question for."

"You mean you got jealous and decided to hurt her by asking such a stupid question." He says.

"What! No! I didn't get jealous. Okay maybe a bit. But I asked her so that she could give me few answers. Basically I was trying to indirectly ask her why she left me." I tell him.

"I know how you feel mate. But you shouldn't have asked her like this. She is already stressed out cause of that Brent leaving thing and now you just almost gave her a mini heart attack!"

A small chuckle escapes from my mouth , "A mini heart attack , seriously Lou? And by the way since when you have started taking her side?"

"Mate. Just saying" he raises his hands in the air.

I run my hand through my hair due to frustration.

"You remember Louis? How one night I got a nightmare about Crystal leaving me , though she had already left me at that time?" I ask and he nods.

"While I was on my way from Crystal's apartment to here , I saw it again. Like that flashback. And you remember how I trashed my apartment because I had gone crazy thinking she left me when I loved her." I pause and then continue " both of these incidents , I saw them again today. As in flashback. I wish I could change everything and never met her. " I tell.

" Though I really don't want to change anything , she gave me one of the best times in my life" I smile.

"Admit it mate." He says and I look at him.

"What?" I ask him.

"I said admit it!" He says , as if it is obvious but I am still not getting it.

"Admit that you love her!" He says , smirking.

"No! No no. You are getting it wrong. Its not like that!"

"Oh come on. I know you more than you think I do." He says.

I stay silent.

"Okay. You don't? So why bother her asking ' oh Crystal , why did you leave me?' Let me just call her and say that you don't love her and nor you ever did" he sniggers.

"You wouldn't do such a thing and fine. I tell you what , I love her. I never stopped. She is all I want. Its more like more I need. I love her more than anything. " I sigh , shit I finally confessed.

" I love her... forever and always." I smile slightly.
