One Direction Vs. 5SOS

Chapter 10

Liam's P.O.V.

We knew it was getting late but, we didn't want to end the fun. In the middle of a guy singing a Katy Perry song, I noticed that Zayn was staring at someone from across the room.

"Who are you looking at?" I asked, staring in his direction, only seeing a group of guys talking at the bar.

"I think that's..." He said then, his eyes widen.

He leaned over and pressed his hand on top of Harry's, gaining his attention.

"Come to the bathroom with me."

Before Harry could respond he slid out of the booth and headed to the bathroom. Louis let Harry out and he followed him to the bathroom.

"Is he, all right?" Louis asked me.

I shrugged and looked over to the group of men again. I didn't recognize any of them so maybe that wasn't what Zayn was looking at.

The man finally finished singing the song and everyone applauded him but, I think it was more because it was finally over. Zayn and Harry returned to the booth and made room as Zayn sat next to me and Harry sat next to him.

Harry seemed off as he kept his eyes on his hands, playing with his hands in his lap. I looked at Zayn and lifted an eyebrow.

I'll tell you later. He thought.

I nodded and stirred my root beer float with the straw. Zayn whispered something in his ear and Harry glanced at him then, looked up. His eyes widened as his cheeks started to get red.

"Hello."

I looked up seeing a man standing in front of our booth. He was tall and had jet black with light brown eyes. He had a black lip ring on his bottom lip and I could see a tattoo on the left side of his neck. He wore black tight jeans and a black long sleeve shirt that showed he was pretty fit.

"Hello." We said, except for Harry.

The man looked Harry up and down and smirked.

"Hi Harry."

We looked over at him as he finally looked up the men. He opened then closed his mouth, seeming like he was a loss of words. He glanced over at us and they seemed to be pleading but, before we could do anything, he stood up and walked past the man.

We sat there frozen, confused as to what just happened as I heard Zayn mumbled 'Oh Shit.' under his breath.

"Harry, wait!" The man said, running after him.

The man gripped his hand as Harry quickly snatched his hand away and turned on his heel. His dark eyes filled with emotion as his mouth moved quickly.

"Do they know each other?" Louis asked.

"That's Harry's ex-boyfriend, Theo." Zayn said.

Our eyes switched over to Zayn as we stared at him in disbelief.

"What?!" Louis said, seeing the irony of this situation. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, when did this happen? That guy looks like he's 30."

"Harry was in the 8th grade and he was a senior when they started dating." Zayn said.

"The 8th grade? Wait, how come I don't know about this?"

"Well they kept their relationship on the down low... Until that thing happened?"

"What 'thing' happened?" Louis asked as I looked back over to Harry.

Theo reached down and gripped Harry's chin and from here, I could tell he gripped him a bit too hard. Harry slapped his hand away.
