Despite Louis telling me not to bother Harry, I kept getting this feeling that he needs to talk to me.

"Anna," I turn to the sound of my name and it's _ coming toward me, "I think I'm going to bounce, I have this weird feeling, I just need a quiet moment."

"Okay, drive safe, thanks for coming." We hug and I watch her shuffle through the crowd.

I knock on Harry's door, pretty hard so that he can hear it over the music.

"Louis, seriously fuck o-" he stops mid-sentence, "oh, sorry, Anna. I thought you were Louis."

"You're really pissed aren't you?" I ask coming in and closing the door behind me. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, go back to your party, I'm fine." He drops onto his bed.

"I can tell you're not fine. Just tell me, maybe I can help."

"You can't, so just go."

"Seriously, Harry, I"

"JUST FUCKING LEAVE!" He yells at me and I jump against the door. On the other side I hear Louis calling me.

"Anna? Are you in here?" Shit. He told me to leave him alone and now my feelings are hurt and I feel like crying.

"Dammit!" He swears again. A tear falls down my cheek and I think it's the first thing Louis sees because he goes ballistic.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" He glares at Harry. "What did you do to her?"

"Nothing, take your girlfriend and fuck off." He's says girlfriend as if it's his least favorite word in all of the dictionary. I thought we were becoming friends.

"Why are you being such a dick?"

He looks confused, and then he looks settled as if he's going to release a flood.

"Because you're fucking her!" He sounds like a jealous boyfriend.

"Harry..." Louis starts but I don't think he had anything to finish it.

"Exactly," he starts to cry. "Tell her or I will."

"Harry..." and this time he sounds angry.

"We were together before he came here. One day we were fine, in love, and then the next he'd ran off to America!" My brain doesn't comprehend what he's just said but it understands just enough.

I was a rebound or an experiment or a beard? I close my eyes and began to shake my head. I was falling in love with him and he was experimenting, rebounding or hiding.

I don't even think, I just turn and run.
