Chapter 6

Liam POV

“What about it Harry? I’m never going to budge and apparently neither are you! There is no point!” I spat at him

“Liam you know why we couldn’t see you in the hospital!” Harry shouted at me and slammed his fist on the counter “I would have fucking gone to prison you know that! I wouldn’t have just gotten community service again”

“I don’t care Harry if it would’ve been you I would have come!”

“That’s shit Liam, no you wouldn’t have and I wouldn’t have let you! It would’ve been my 3rd strike if I got caught and I would have gone away for at least 6 months, NO ONE TOLD YOU TO STEAL THAT FUCKING CAR!”

That pissed me off, I got up and stood right in his face

 “Yeah, and no one told you to wrap it around a pole almost killing me harry, you and Zayn fucking left me there, I had 5 broken ribs Harry! 5! My hip was dislocated and my collar bone was sticking out of my fucking skin!!”

He stared at my with sad angry eyes “We waited with you until we heard the sirens then we left! We didn’t just say ‘oh he’s gonna die’ and run off. We wanted to stay but we didn’t want to go to prison”

“That’s what it felt like, you abandoned me and went off started dating my girlfriend and took my place”

“It wasn’t like that Liam” Harry said shaking his head

Niall sat there watching us, taking everything in

“Lads, maybe you should just start again. Clean slate! It’s obvious you both want to be friends again, if you didn’t this conversation wouldn’t be happening”

Harry froze as did I and we both looked at him, “I don’t know man” I said laying my head on the counter

“Liam, I really am sorry, I thought we were all doing what was right. I was protecting everyone, Lou, Leighton, Zayn and I”

“Lou and Leighton were in Doncaster they weren’t even here Harry” I said confused

“I was protecting everyone, we’re like a family, you know that Liam” he said looking at me

“I know but I wanted my best friend to come visit me, to at least tell me he was sorry for what happened”

“I didn’t really have a chance, as soon as you got out of the hospital you took off to America” Harry said looking at the counter defeated

“I know” I said

Niall interrupted saying “Now let’s have a hug and go to Nando’s then to a pub” he patted us on the back as he walked to the door “HARRY you drive, no wait, I’ll drive! Don’t want to be wrapped around a pole” he walked out slamming the door behind him

I looked at harry and he let a smile crack his stone face as he held out his hand for me “I’m sorry Liam”

That went a lot easier than I thought it would, this could have been solved ages ago. We were such stubborn people, we missed a years’ time worth of friendship being stubborn!

Niall POV

I don’t know what I was thinking trying to befriend Harry, but it sure does seem better than being on his bad side. I could be friends with them without getting into all of the shit they do, right?

 I could try at least.

Leighton POV

Lou, Zayn and I met at Nando’s to get some dinner since everyone else wasn’t answering their phones.
