Change (punk h.s.)

Chapter 53

Harry's POV

I think... I think it's getting better. I don't even think about her that much anymore. Sometimes I do, but I'm getting better.

"I'm really glad you decided to come", Niall says as he raises his glass and the other lads follow his lead. I shake my head and I do the same. "It's nice to be here, all five together", Niall continues.

"Okay lady shut it", I mutter and he lets out a laugh.

"Harry's back!", he yells out.

"Harry's back!", the other guys repeat and we all take sips from our drinks.

I haven't been drinking for few weeks now, I just thought I should stop. Beer has never tasted so amazing.

"When was the last time we all five hung out together?", Liam wonders out loud.

"It's been so long. Zayn has been busy planning a wedding, Liam got a girlfriend so did Harry but then-"

"Niall, we get it", I snap.

"Sorry I just thought you were over her", he apologises. I shrug it off, don't really bother to start an argument about this.

"I bet he is. I mean who could stand her it's just better she's off the picture. I mean yeah she could be doing better. Not whore around.", Louis dryly laughs.

"Louis", Niall and Liam hiss at him the same time.

"Excuse me?", I say and place the glass down on the table.

"Oh you haven't heard?", he asks with his brows arched. "Oh shit, I wasn't supposed to tell you. Oops!", he laughs again. That bastard.

I look between all the guys, Zayn seems to be kind of confused as well. I guess I wasn't the last one to know. But know what? "Tell me what?", I ask. The lads glanch at each other briefly as if asking one another if they should tell me or not. "Tell me!", I demand.

"Harry...", Liam starts. Of course Liam is the one to talk. He's always the one to talk because he does it the best. He has this calm voice, he always sounds so understanding... "We didn't want you to know, because you were going through a rough time, you would have flipped out...", he ends with a sigh.

"Well?"

"The thing is she moved on. We didn't want to tell you because-"

"She moved on?", I ask, they all nod. "And you all knew?"

"I didn't", Zayn chimes in.

"I mean... You could have told me. It is all good. I don't care." Totally not getting nauseous about the thought of her with another man. "It's been... what? Four months?"

"Actually two", Niall corrects me and takes another sip.

"Nobody asked you, alright?", I send him a glare, Louis lets out a laugh.

"Let's talk about something else. Does anyone have anything to say?"

And everyone stays quiet. All we hear are sighs and fingers tapping against the table. It's quiet until Zayn speaks up. "I have", he tells us and I swear I see the other boys sighing in relief that he spoke up. "The wedding is the 27th of July. I'd really like it if you'd come", he says with a small smile.

Then everyone starts yelling out congratulations to him and giving him a nudge or a manly hug or whatever. I mean I'm happy for the guy. I just can't really stop thinking about Sydney. Is she in someone else's bed right now? It doesn't even have to be a bed... Is she with another man? "Congrats man", even I speak up.
