Make You Mine(H.S.)

Conflicted

"Now I'm really conflicted," I sighed

"Take some time to think about it. But don't tell Harry about anything I just told you. This is your decision, not his. If I find out that you told him anything, I'll have no choice but to tell Liam about this conversation. Understood?"

"Understood. Just one more question."

"Shoot."

"What if I choose his side?" I asked.

"I won't say a word, but I will have you know I won't be there to help you. I had to serve time just like Liam because of Harry and I know what he is capable of."

Laila's POV

The walk back to the room was a little too short for my liking and so I decided to wander down the hall which was rather long. I ended up at the vending machine and pondered over what to get before realizing I had no money on me.

I sighed unhappily and jumped when someone grabbed my wrist. I turned around quickly and it was released.

"Easy killer," someone laughed.

"You look familiar," I said confused. Blue eyes, brown hair... "Louis?"

"You got it," he answered.

"What are you doing here?"

"Just checking up on my good friend Harold and making sure he's doing alright. I also came to talk to you," he said and scratched his head.

"About?"

"Important matters that concern the well being of one Harry Styles."

"That seems to be the topic of the year."

"Do you want to come to my room and talk for a bit? I'm sensing that if someone is walking around the halls at 3 in the morning they are either drunk out of their mind or having some troubled thoughts."

"I suppose it would be better than standing in this dark hallway."

Louis smiled lightly and led me down the hall to his room and fished the key out of his pocket to open the door.

"So what is troubling you love," Louis asked while walking into the room.

"I don't know if I'm allowed to say," I answered honestly.

"Is it about Harry kidnapping you?"

"You know about that?"

"Course, he called me at a very early hour in the morning freaking out because he drugged a girl and took her to London."

"And you were calm about this?"

"Of course not! I yelled at him for doing something completely illegal for a good 10 minutes before asking what I could do to help," he sighed.

"You didn't try and convince him to take me back?!"

"Well yeah, I did, but he wouldn't budge. I couldn't turn him in because he has stuck his neck out for me so many times!"

"Why are you so open about this?"

"About what?"

"Well you don't really seem to mind telling me that you assisted a criminal."

"Well at this point you already know most of Harry's past so what's there to hold back?"

"Well I don't really know you at all, so how could you trust me?"

"I can just tell. You seem very trustworthy. Also, I know that you've been in contact with Liam. Harry told me everything. I'm just here to keep you on his side. He and Zayn can be very manipulative."

"Then why did you tell me to find Liam?"

"I felt bad for your unfortunate situation. I didn't think Liam had this extreme of a plan to put Harry behind bars. I also happen to 'be on Liam's side'," he said using air quotes.

"So you are spying for Harry?"

"Precisely. I know all about the actual location of his family."

"But he doesn't?"

"He has no clue."

"Well why haven't you told him?"

"If Harry knew, he'd go straight to the bahamas and fall into another one of Liam's traps."

"Another one? How many are there?"

"Too many to count," he sighed. "If Harry were to set foot on the island where they live, it would explode on contact."

"Are you serious?"

"Of course not," he laughed. "They'd just relocate his family somewhere else."

"So it's just better to know where they are for now."

"Exactly. Harry can be very stubborn and even if he knew about them being relocated he'd still try to take them home."

"I guess he would," I sighed.

"So what's going on? You never really told me," Louis pouted slightly.

"I can't chose which side I want to be on," I answered honestly.

"And why would that be?"

"As soon as I think I'm going to chose Harry I find out about something else he's done in the past and get scared away."

"I can understand that, but Harry needs you. He can't function on his own."

"Well isn't that what you are there for?"

"I can try, but he needs a more emotional connection. He needs to be loved. There's no other way of puting it. He has been alone for so long."

"But how could I do that?"

"You can do it because deep down, you know that he deserves it. If you didn't feel something for him, you never would be struggling over which side to chose," he said knowingly.

He was right. I did feel something for Harry. But I had to decide if it was enough to look beyond his disturbing past.

"In the end, only you can decide. If I were you, I'd go for Harry. It's not just because he's my best friend, it's also because you know it is right. He deserves a second chance and to have his family back. If I have you by my side, we can reunite them."

I barely knew Louis, but one thing I did know, was that he chose the right battle to fight.

"The other problem is being stuck with him," I admitted.

"Ah, but you'll have Niall and I around to keep you sane."

"And if it doesn't work out?"

"I will take you home myself."

"You have a deal Mr.?"

"Tomlinson."

"You have a deal Mr. Tomlinson."

He grinned at me and held out his hand. I took it and he shook it.

"Welcome to the team."
