Don't forget where you belong

Chapter 16.

The next day Harry is feeling a lot better, he really needed to let all that out. And even though it stings a little that Louis didn't love him back, he understands it. And he wasn't expecting him to either.

'Yet. Louis doesn't love him back yet' Harry tries to remind himself.

Louis has been really quiet today, he hasn't heard a single word all day. He can't help but worry over the fact that he told Louis he loves him yesterday. He's sure Louis is just busy, or he tries to tell himself that's all there is to it.

When he gets home from work he walks Hera and goes to make some dinner. Just as he's done eating there's a knock at the door. He puts his plate in the sink and walk out to the foyer. When he opens the door he's met by Louis, he would be so excited if it weren't for the fact that Louis is crying.

"Lou? Oh my god, what's wrong?"

Harry takes Louis hand, pulling him into the apartment. He closes the door and as he's about to hug Louis, he stops him.

"You told a fan we're not getting back together?" Tears keep streaming down Louis cheeks

"What? No, of course I didn't!"

"Why are you lying to me?" Louis almost yells

"I'm not! Louis I swear to you I've never said that!"

"I heard you!"

"Okay hang on, we need to talk about this." Harry says and takes Louis hand leading him into the living room

They sit down on the couch, Louis tries to wipe his tears away on his sleeves but there's no use as new ones keeps coming.

"Walk me through what happened, I'm completely lost."

"Management pulled me in to a meeting today. They wanted to thank me for listening to them. That we wouldn't date. I was completely lost to. And then they told me you met a fan and you told her we wouldn't get back together."

"I swear to god Lou that never happened. I would never do that."

"But I heard you"

"What do you mean you heard me?"

Louis pulls out his phone, he plays a recording where you can hear a woman

"Oh my god, you're Harry Styles"

"I am"

"Can I get a picture?"

"Yeah, sure"

"Thank you."

"No problem"

"Are you and Louis getting back together?"

"No, we're not."

And then it cuts out

"That is edited Lou! Can't you hear that? Her voice is all messed up! She didn't sound like that!"

"So you admit it?"

"That I met a fan? Yes, she came in to the bookstore and asked for a picture. But she never even asked about you and me. She asked me if the store were open on Sundays and I said 'no we're not'. That's the question I was answering. Her voice is all distorted and they have edited it!"

"Why would someone do that?"

"I don't know. But why on earth would I ever tell a fan that? Just yesterday I cried in your arms over how scared I am to lose you! I can't even fucking bring myself to call myself single because it hurts to much and it's been months. I've fought for you so hard. Why would I ever fuck that up like this? Also, it's not my place to tell your fans anything. I know you don't remember but I never answer that kind of questions because that's your business! Louis I would never! You have to trust me." Harry can feel tears burning in his eyes now to.
