Out Of The Woods

V. I remember it all too well

Taylor's POV

As Harry made his way to the restroom I glared at Louis.

"You're such an idiot Louis!" I couldn't believe he said that, I could take what he said about my father, I mean I knew I crossed the line when I mentioned his, but what he said about my childhood best friend was different, it hurt more.

"I'm not taking back what I said." Louis said and I just glared at him, he always apologized first but I guess this time was my fault.

I sighed, "I'm sorry Louis, I... I don't know why I said that, I just... I'm sorry." It took everything in me to apologize but I couldn't leave things like this.

"It's okay Tay, I'm sorry too, but don't bring that up again, you know how hard it was for me to move on." He said and I could tell his was still hurt.

We barely talked about our families and we both knew how hard it was for us to move on, but I knew that we would always be together, even if we fought all the time, we'd always forgive each other.

"Are you okay Tay?" Louis asked with worried eyes.

I needed to tell him, he knew me better than anyone else and I knew I could trust him, who else I could trust anyways? I had a lot of friends, but I didn't have another real friendship besides Louis, he was the only one who would help me.

"Louis, there's something I need to tell you." He had a worried expression on his face and I took a long breath, this was actually very hard.

"Louis, I know Harry" I confessed, looking up at him since I was looking at my thighs before.

"Yeah I know him too, cool lad" He took a sip from his drink and I rolled my eyes at him putting my hands on my face in frustration.

"No Louis, I didn't mean it like that you dumbass."

"Oh, then what did you mean?" He asked smiling at me and wiggling his eyebrows.

"I mean, that he's the Harry I told you about... You know, my childhood best friend, the one who left me and all that...." I said and I looked at him with a slight smile, his mouth was open and he had dropped the piece of orange chicken he was about to eat.

"What?" And as I was about to answer him, I saw from the corner of my eye that Harry was coming back from the restroom.

"Shut up and laugh" I told him and he stared at me confused.

"What?"

"Stop asking what and laugh" I mouthed as I started laughing like my life depended on it, Louis giggled a bit but not enough, so I decided to pinch his thigh from below the table, and after that he started to laugh like crazy too.

Harry finally got to where we were with a frown on his face, it probably was because now me and Louis were okay, but it was actually like this all the time, one minute we'd be fighting and the other we'd be laughing it off.

Louis asked Harry something, and he answered back, but honestly I couldn't care less, because right in front of me, I had the most caring person in the world, until I had him standing right in front of me, I realized that even if it had been 10 years since I had seen him last, he was part of the happiness I felt.

His stare suddenly snapped me out of my thoughts and I looked up to see him smiling at me.

"Why are you staring, Harold?"

****

After the not so bad day I spend with Louis and Harry, I finally got to my room, the lights were on but my roommate was nowhere to be seen, I headed to my bed and plopped on it, I left a loud sigh out of my mouth as I thought about the events of today.
