Kryptonite (A Harry Styles Fan Fic)

A Joke?-Chapter 25

*May's POV*

I recover from the shock of Harry punching Luke and spring into action, I push Harry back and turn to Luke who's standing up to charge at Harry. I step in front of him and look him in the eyes, "Don't even think about touching him, sit down!" He glares at Harry before sitting down in front of me.

I turn to Harry and tell him the same thing, he sites down on the couch next to Liam who seems just as shocked as me but doesn't do anything. Zayn was standing up next to Harry ready to push him back if I needed him to. Zayn was like a side kick.

I take a deep breath, "Anyone mind telling me why my two best friends tried to maul each other?"

*Harrys POV*

I glare at Luke from behind her back, May cant find out from him that I've been in love with her since Highschool. My whole body's tensing as I watch him, he's glancing at May then back to me, like he doesn't know what to say. Was he going to call me out or not?

"I've always had a crush on you and Harry-.

Shit here it comes...

"Harry and I had a bet that if I ever got to kiss you he got to punch me. Because he thought it would never happen, it was just a joke. And I forgot about the bet a second ago and got mad not knowing why he punched me but now I realize. I'm sorry man, I completely forgot." he chuckles smiling as he stands up and walks over to me. I stand up and play along, smiling with him. He hugs me patting me hard on the back.

"She's all yours, don't screw it up." he whisper to me before pulling back. Did he mean that I didn't have to compete for May anymore?

May looks at us like we're crazy. "So this was all some little joke?"

Luke and I both nod in unison.

She glares at both of us crossing her arms, "I thought something was seriously wrong! Don't ever do that again. Do you understand?"

I exhale, my shoulder slowly relaxing, thank god she fell for it.

"Well I better be going, I need to make sure Amy's okay. Harry it was nice seing you and thanks for the punch you asshole." he chuckles even ough I can tell its fake.

He turns to May, I just stand there and watch my whole body twitching not liking how close they are. "May I uh, guess I'll text you some time?"

She nods a small smile on her face, I can tell, she's uncomfortable. "I um, I'm sorry I don't feel th same way. But yes, I'd like to keep in contact." she nods stepping forward and wrapping her arms around his torso, I couldn't see her face because it seemed to be buried in his chest. I take a deep breath and look away as he wraps his arms around her also.

I look at Zayn who's smirking and raising his eyebrows at me, I then look at Liam who's shrugging as if he was completely confused. I look back at May who's walking Luke to the door of the bus, he leaves and silence hits us all. May walks over to me and crosses her arms, "Care to explain for real this time? Instead of some bullshit lie?"

I freeze. Fuck, what do I do?! "I um, you see it's um.....complicated." I spill out, not really knowing exactly what to say.

She sighs, "Boys can you give us a moment?" I hear Zayn and Liam get up and walk outside of th bus. I knew those bastards would be listening.

"Haz I thought we told each other everything. Why did you get mad at Luke? And why was Luk mad at you then al, of a sudden cover for you?"

She looked up at me her eyes boring into mine, I run my hand through my hair and take a deep breath. "Can I explain it somewhere else? I know those idiots on the other side of the door are listening." I say, I didn't mind them steaming I just didn't want to blurt out everything right now. I wanted it to be perfect.

She shrugs nodding, "Fine, tomorrow we'll together breakfast and you can explain yourself then."

I nod smiling, "Alitht sounds like a plan."

She nods not cracking a smile even I can tell she wants to. She walks over to the bus door and kicks it as hard as she can. We then hear two guys yell "Ow!"

I laugh, maybe it was time I tell May. She needed to know, I couldn't hold it in any longer. But how would she rect when she knew her best friend was in love with her? Would she be weirded out and become distant to me or would she just kindly tell me she didn't have feelings for me? Either one would probably hurt like hell...was I ready to take this risk?
