Protection {Louis Tomlinson} // Book 1

Chapter 12: Harder

Dakota's POV

What did i just witness?

Did Harry say he liked me?

All these questions were running through my head.

but the main question was what Harry was trying to say before Louis knocked him out.

  I can't even remember what he said. all i remember is that he was talking and then Louis knocked him out.

Louis' becoming, strange.

i didn't know why he would knock out his best friend just to tell him i was his.

i don't care if he's my boyfriend. That was selfish.

i was sitting beside Harry's bed in the hospital. he was still knocked out.

Louis was sitting beside me and the other 3 boys sitting on the other side.

i was worried, so was Zayn, Niall, and Liam. all of us were. except Louis. he didn't seem sad at all.

what was going on with Louis?

like i said. he was so diffrent then the day he ran into me. and the day he came to my apartment.

i don't know.

all i can do right now is hope Harry wakes up.

***

a few hours later i see Harry's hand move a bit.

"guys." i whisper, trying to alert them of what i just saw.

in a second Harry's eyes flutter open.

"Harry!" the boys say simultaneously.

"Hey guys." he says a groggy voice.

"Harry i'm so glad you woke up!" i say and hug him.

i can feel Louis tense up to us hugging, thats when i decide to let go.

"Harry, what happened?" Zayn asks Harry.

he must not know.

Harry looks over at us for a split second then turns back.

I was walking to Louis' room when i tripped and i guess i hit my head." he lied.

***

we were still at the hospital. the nurse said leave whenever but we were waiting till Harry's head didn't hurt so much.

everyone was talking to Harry. except Louis. he just stared at the ground with his arm wrapped around my waist.

"Louis can i talk to Dakota privatly for a minute?" Harry says out of no where.

"no-"

"Lou, it's ok, nothing will happen. give us 5 minutes!" i say.

"fine." then he walks out with the 3 boys behind him.

"what do you need?" i ask.

"listen, i know Louis knocked me out. i know we were having a fight over you. but-"

"but what?"

"i don't want you to go out with him!" he confesses.

"why not?" i question.

"Dakota, i really like you. i don't think you should date Louis. he isn't the best guy in the world. i'm not just saying this because i want to date you, which i do, i'm just saying, i don't want you to get hurt."

he can't be right. he's wrong! Louis isn't going to hurt me.

"Harry, he won't hurt me, and i do like you, but as a friend and-"
