Chapter 15

-----

Louis' POV

"Stop being so awkward! You two have to do this."

When we got into this mess, I never imagined myself having to be all lovey-dubby with Harry.  And the fact that I might be feeling something 'weird' for him definitely does not help this situation.

Harry and I were walking awkwardly, hand-in-hand back to our flat with the boys following closely behind us.  Liam keeps telling us that we're doing a terrible job at looking like a real couple, but honestly... can you blame us? We've been avoiding each other, and avoiding talking about all the things that have happened the past few days.  Now we have to act like we're in love and push our problems aside.  How brilliant is that?

"Aye, Liam... we're trying, alright?" Harry sounded a bit irritated... and I could see why.  Liam was pestering us a little too much.

"Try harder, guys... the paps are everywhere. I'm just trying to help." Liam sounded guilty and made me feel bad.

"S'alright Li," Niall spoke up, throwing his arm around Liam's shoulders smiling up at him. "They know that."  Harry and I both nodded in agreement.

"Yea, we know Liam... it's just stressful..." My voice betrayed me as it broke at the end, making me seem upset.  I mean I was... but I didn't want anyone to know.  Harry must have noticed, because he intertwined our fingers together and ran his thumb over the backside of my hand.  I looked up to him and smiled as a simple thank you, and he grinned back.

Someone cleared their throat. "Much better."

"Why thank you." Harry released my hand and did a little bow towards Liam. The boys started messing around together, but I nonchalantly discluded myself and let my mind wounder.  

Why did Harry claim that we were a couple?  I knew the man was putting me down, but Harry didn't have to step in and defend me.  I'm glad he did, but he really didn't have to.  I'm used to being put down, and it felt weird for someone to stand up for me.  A good weird, though.  You'd think that me being in a famous world-wide boyband that I'd have a better self-esteem, but no.  Sure, thousands of girls (and a few guys) fling themselves at me every day, but that's just because they're fans; because I'm famous.  Just becasue I'm "Louis Tomlinson from One Direction."  I wish someone would like me for me, like Harry does.  

I caught myself mid-thought, and remembered what Harry had told me earlier.  He declared his "love" towards me.  I know he was just putting on a show for management, but the way he said it, the way he looked right into my eyes... it made me believe him.  It made me think that Harry actually did have feelings for me.  I had made myself think that he could never feel towards me... but lately, I'm not so sure.  I have no idea where our relationship is right now.  And I have no idea what to do.  Harry's my best mate, and I love him... not "love" love, but love.  I think.
