The Promise

Chapter 8

-Louis-

"Melody!" I call.

"Go away," she whimpers. I open the hall closet door and see her curled up with tears in her eyes. I kneeled down and took her into a tight hug. My shirt was quite wet after about a minute. "Why were they fighting Louis?" she sobbed.

"Do you really want to know?"

"Melody! Louis, what are you doing?" Harry asks.

"The hell does it look like I'm doing? I'm being a good friend and comforting her because she just saw two of her best friends fighting over her!" I say through clenched teeth.

"What? You guys were fighting over me? Why?" Busted. Harry and Liam looked to the floor.

"It's because they both like you," I said, annoyed at their silence. Harry and Liam's eyes got wide, and they looked at Melody for a reaction of some sort.

"Why would you fight because of that? I want to hear this," she said, trying to stand. I helped her up and held onto her hand.

"It's because when Harry got up, he saw you snuggled on me, and he got pissed off about it. So he said he was going to ask you out, and I was going to also. So we started fighting, and then you ran off," Liam explained. Melody had a look of horror, and a hint of disgust.

"You guys were fighting because you both like me? Do either of you realize how stupid that is? I don't really like either of you! Not anymore! The only one I really like around here is Louis!" she shouts. Then she turns and runs off again. To her room I suppose, but I didn't care. She said she likes me! I gave them a glare and ran off after her. Looks like Harry just broke his promise.
