Never Forgotten (L.T)

Chapter 9

*Abby's POV*

I thought that we would be inseparable when he came, boy was I wrong. It's like he's embarrassed now.

The boys are downstairs and I'm in my room just having a blast. I don't even want to look at him right now. I heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it," I ask.

"It's me, Harry," I heard from the other side.

"Come in," I said.

He opens the door but closes it when he comes in the room. He sits next to me on the bed.

"What are you doing up here all alone?" he asks me. I sigh.

"I guess I just wanted to get away from everyone," i tell him

"But what about Lou. Both of you were ecstatic to see each other. Now the boys and I can feel the tension between you two," he says. 

"It's just that I can't help but feel he's embarrassed by me," I say.

"Why would you think that. He always talked about you and how great you were," he tells me.

"I find that hard to believe, then why did he remove his hand from mine when we came downstairs?" I ask. He's silent.

"That's what I thought. Now if you would excuse me I'm going to go out for fresh air," I say. Before I was able to leave the room he grabbed my arm.

"Hold on one second let me explain," he didn't let go of my arm and pulled me back to my bed.

"The reason why is because the boys and I always suspected he had a crush on you, because he would never stop talking about you," he says.

"But what does that have to do with what he did," I ask. 

"The reason is because is Eleanor always suspected that he had a thing for you because of how much he talked about you and was trying to find you. She always suspected that he was cheating on her," he continued.

"She actually thinks he would do that," I asked shocked.

"Well she seemed pretty convinced that you two were dating. She's like that, so when you meet her don't be shocked if she seems really clingy or rude," he tells me. With the look on his face while talking about her, it doesn't seem like he's too pleased with her.

"it doesn't seem like you are too fond of her are you," I ask. he scowls.

"No I'm not. I thought introducing them was a good idea. I made a huge mistake, she acts like a bitch. She takes up all of Louis' time so he's basically with her every minute we have off," he says with a sad expression. 

I decided to give him a hug. I know what it feels like to lose a best friend slowly. He hugged me back and it was really tight.

"So who was that friend that came with you,"  could basically hear the smirk. 

"Oh that was my friend Sierra. She came with me here to you know support me," I say. He nods.

"She seems nice," I knew where this was going. 

"Alright anyway. Do you want to go back downstairs," he asks.

"I have one more question. Do the other boys lets say dislike Eleanor too," I ask him.

"Niall for sure because he dislikes very few people. Liam I'm not sure. Because his girlfriend is best friends with Eleanor so I guess he just has to tolerate her. Me you already know," I nod. We go back downstairs the boys don't even hear. 

I sat down in the living room where the boys were playing Fifa. I was watching them and didn't bother looking at Louis but I noticed he looked my way a few times. 

Hours past. You could literally feel the tension.

Even though Louis and I were not talking it still felt nice that he was here and didn't forget. 

"Alright boys and Abby, I just made dinner. Help yourselves," Louis' mum came and said. The boys ran to the table and by the time I got to the table there was an empty place between Harry and Louis. 

When I sat down Harry whispered, "Are you alright? I could switch places with you." I blushed that Harry showed that he actually cared. I can already tell that Harry and I are going to be really good friends.

"It's fine. We'll just see how this goes. I should be alright," I whispered back. What caught me off guard was at that moment Louis places his hand on my knee and gave a little squeeze. I flinched a little bit and I'm pretty sure Harry noticed.

Then Johannah said, " Alright boys, I'm going to borrow Abby for a few minutes." I was so thankful that she came in time.

She took my arm and we walked into the kitchen and made sure that the boys couldn't here us.

"Abby what's wrong. You were smiling and laughing a few hours ago," she looked at me concerned. But before I said anything she continued.

"Did you not think I noticed anything. Then you were in your room, then Harry went to see you and you two were in there a while. Is there anything going on between you two?" she asks. I looked at her but not showing any emotion. Then we hear a cough behind us. And it was Louis.

"I'll just leave you two alone, again," Johannah said and left the kitchen. She left and Louis walked up to me.

"Is it true?" he asks.

"Is what true?" I ask looking at him, just trying to find any kind of emotion but I couldn't

"God damnit Abby you know what I'm talking about," he says angrily.

"Fine if you must know, no, there is nothing going on between me and Harry," I snapped.

"Don't lie to me Abby, you know I hate it when people lie to me. Now I just want to say something if you two are dating or even "going out" Harry isn't good enough for you," I couldn't believe him.

"How do you know who is good enough for me. Now I'll say it again e and Harry are not a thing and never will be. He's not who's on my mind," I mumbled the last part, hoping he didn't hear me.

"What was that," he said.

"Nothing, it was nothing," I screamed.

"Abby I'm sor-," but he was cut off with a high pitched voice.

"Hey Boobear," I got chills from that voice. And of course Eleanor had to ruin the moment.
