Last First Kiss

Chapter 16

Harry's P.O.V.

"So, that's how Harry and I met" Brooke finished her made up story and took a sip of her Cola Zero. Louis blinked a couple of times, waking up from what I assume was a daydream, Zayn removed his hand from under his chin, smiling at Brooke and putting on an interested expression. Liam was frowning and weirdly wiggling his eyebrows, trying to process what he was just been told and Niall finally took a bite from the sandwich he had held in front of his opened mouth while Brooke was speaking in her high-pitched voice.

"Right... That's a weird way of meeting your boyfriend" Liam said

"Well, they say you meet your soul mate at the weirdest places" Brooke giggled

"They do say that" Louis said and I could tell he was really trying hard not to make a rude comment. Brooke looked into my eyes and sent me a flirty smile

"But, it hasn't been that long ago, has it? I mean it was like..." Niall counted on his fingers, making him look truly adorable "3 weeks ago?"

"Yes, it was. Love at first sight you know?" Brooke said as she kept staring into my eyes. I fought the urge to raise my eyebrows and plastered a smile on my face. I saw the lads peeking at me, their eyes obviously trying to say that I am completely nuts. Brooke's phone started ringing, she gave us an apologetic smile and checked the caller ID

"Guys, I'm sorry, I really have to get this" she apologised

"It's okay, we had some... One Direction stuff to discuss" Louis said. Brooke picked up her phone and walked towards the window as Louis grabbed my arm and pulled me towards his room, being followed in our footsteps by Liam who was shaking his head, looking at the floor, Zayn, whose eyes were piercing into my soul and Niall who was munching on the sandwich as if his life depended on it.

"What the hell do you think you are doing?" Louis huffed after he closed the door to his room

"What are you talking about?" I avoided his gaze

"Why are you dating her?" Louis clenched his jaw

"Why not?"

"She's a monster" Zayn mocked

"Excuse me? That's my girlfriend you're talking about, you know" I unwillingly defended Brooke

"Have you seen the amount of make-up she's wearing?" Liam asked carefully

"Have you listened to her voice?" Niall said, stifling a laugh and his mouth chuck full. No, I always try my hardest not to listen to it...

"Of course I have. What is wrong with her voice?" I covered up my thoughts

"I thought you liked Melina" Louis stated. My heart fluttered in my chest and I finally looked into Louis' eyes

"I did" I said slowly and was surprised by the steadiness of my voice. I do

"How's Melina doing actually?" Louis ignored me "Have you told her you're with Brooke? Have you even contacted her over the past three weeks? You never even asked her if she liked you back. For all you know she could be devastated right now"

No, I haven't done any of those things. I don't know how she's doing... I felt so ashamed

"You know what I think of all this?" Louis asked me

"What?" I taunted him

"That it's complete rubbish" Louis said

"Guys? Where are you?" Brooke's voice rang through the house

"We'll go" Liam said and pushed Zayn and Niall through the door

"It's fυcking bυllshit. You still like Melina and you know it" Louis whispered in a harsh tone. I opened my mouth to protest, but no sound came out as Louis' piercing blue eyes stared into my green ones. I bit on my lip to prevent myself from blurting out my feelings, then turned around and walked out of the room
