Two Against One

Chapter 3

"We should only go for a week," Jenna suggests, leaning over my shoulder. She's pointing at the hotel rooms available on the computer screen. Looking back at her, I give her a questioning look.

"A week? Are you serious Jen? We should go for, like, a month!" I say. They did have rooms available for that long of a trip. Now Harry gives me a questioning look.

"A week is too short and a month is a bit too long," he chuckles. "What about three weeks?" I nod, taking that into consideration. Louis throws an arm around Harry.

"I think that's a great idea," Louis says excitedly. Louis loved the idea of getting out of town, he was adventurous, so he was really open to going to London.

"Okay, it's settled then," I grin, clicking to see the hotels that'd we'd be able to stay in for a three weeks. "What about this one?" I ask everyone, putting the arrow on a four-star hotel that was having a great deal at the moment.

"Looks good," Zayn smiles, wrapping his arm around Rachel's waist. "We'll have to book two separate rooms, though. One for the boys, one for the girls," he adds.

"In the boy's room, one of you would have to sleep on one of those cots... considering there's five of you," Lizzy informs them.

"I wouldn't mind sleeping on the cot," Niall shrugs nonchalantly. "I mean, as long as it's comfortable I'll sleep on anything!"

"So then this one's okay with everyone?" I ask, double-checking. "Liam? You've been pretty quiet." I'd totally forgot he was the one leaning on my desk chair. He shrugs.

"Just thinking, I guess," he says simply. Jenna looks at him.

"You sure you're okay, babe?" There was worry in her voice. She hated when Liam was quiet, even if she didn't know what for. If he wasn't smiling, she automatically became worried. Liam nods at her and gives her a small smile.

"I'm fine," he reassuringly says, giving her a smooch. She looked at him uneasily but kisses him back. I clicked 'book a room' and booked two double-bed rooms right next to eachother.

"Uh-oh..." I said, seeing the hotel had a huge pool, "looks like there's quite the pool there. You okay with that Zayn?" I look back at him, giving him a teasing smirk. Zayn gives me a worried look and sucked in a worried breath.

"I don't know... We might have to get another hotel... Sorry guys," he jokes. Everyone chuckles which lightens up the mood.

"Well I think I'm gonna head out," Louis tells us. "I suppose I need to get some packing done. Coming love?" he asks Lizzy. She gives him a nod and Louis grabs her hand, leading them out of the house.

"Anyone staying?" I ask.

"I'll hangout for a bit," Jenna says. I looked at her and she points a finger, discreetly, at Harry. 'Update,' she mouths. I nod her direction slightly and say, "Well, I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow!" They all wave and left. Rachel went with Zayn and Liam and Harry went back to their flat's separately. Aftet a final wave goodbye, I closed the door behind them and walk into my kitchen, inviting Jenna to sit on one of the barstools. I could tell by the look on her face it wasn't good. The smile on my face fades as I realize this I give her a questioning look.

"Last night, Liam and I went over to Harry's flat to hangout. I was going to find out about his new 'girlfriend' and turns out they're getting pretty serious. They went on a real date yesterday and they uh- they...," Jenna looks down, pure disgust written all over her face and it doesn't take much for me to catch onto what she's trying to say. I was ready to puke.

"They had sex?!" I exclaim angrily. I couldn't believe it. Jenna nods and looks at the counter guiltily. She shakes her head.

"It's horrible, I know. But the weird thing is, I didn't believe him. He said it as if he was proud of it and, for going out with the girl for three days, he shouldn't be. It's not like him. Almost like, he knew I'd tell you, you know?" No, I didn't know. Why would Harry want me to know he lost his virginity to a whore he met at a club?

"That just doesn't make any sense," I say in confusion.

"I know; I didn't think so either. And Liam didn't seem to believe Harry too. He said that Harry was probably just showing us he was actually serious about one of these girls becasue he knows how we felt about the others. But I don't think that's the case," Jenna says. "It's his virginty; and even though Harry's been an idiot lately, I don't think he'd give that up. He's been saving it this long, why would he stop caring now?"

"What should I do?" I ask. I really wanted to end this 'phase' with Harry. This wasn't him at all. Especially if Liam and Jenna were wrong about him lying...

"Honestly, the best thing to do is to talk to him. See his side of the story, you know he trusts you the most out of all of us. You and Louis," Jenna adds. She gets up from the stool and blows an exasperated breath, "I think I'm going to go. I gotta go pack for tomorrow. We're meeting at Niall's right? At nine?" Jenna checks, walking to the front door.

"Yup, nine. And thanks for telling me, Jen. I'll find time to talk to him about it on the trip. Goodbye." I wave until her car's out of sight. When it is I close the front door and slide my back down against it until I was sitting on the floor. I lay my head on my hands. "What the hell am I supposed to do?" I ask myself. I get back up and trudge up the stairs. This trip is what I need.
