The Theater Room

Chapter 18

Erin's: POV
(1 week later)

"So about how long has it been?" "About a month." I reply and sit up on my bed, "We changed the kiss scene three weeks ago.. So yeah about a month." "Woah really?" "Yeah.. Emma I need to tell Harry." "I thought you were gonna try again last week after your first attempt got messed up." "You see the thing is we always happened to be around people who don't know how to buzz off." I reply and sip on the coffee that Emma just handed me, "Thanks." "No prob." she grins then takes a seat and sips on hers also, "Erin!" she shrieks just as I took a sip from my cup, "Agh! What?" I yell when I almost spill my hot coffee.

"I have a plan." "Geez Emma couldn't you have gone about it a little better, I about spilled my coffee." "Ha, sorry." she chuckles, "But how about I get Louis and Harry to come over and then we leave you two alone. Then that way you can tell him!" she explains excitedly. "That could actually work ya know." I reply and she gets a smug grin, "You feel accomplished don't you?" I chuckle, "Little bit." Emma giggles then pulls out her phone.

"So what do you think? Is the plan a go?" Emma asks and shakes her phone around, "Yeah it's a go." I reply and Emma does an excited noise and starts typing away on her phone. "I thought you didn't like the idea of me liking Harry?" "Well not that exactly.. I mean you can like whoever you want. I just don't want him to hurt you. I honestly think that if he dated a girl like you that it would be good for him." Emma replies as she continues to type on her phone.

When she finishes she sets her phone down and looks at me, "Harry has been hurt by girls in the past. That's why he is the way that he is with girls. He has given his all and gotten nothing in return enough times in the past to where now he just doesn't want the real commitment. That's why he goes for girls that are more.. shall we say "easy" when it comes to "dating", but I know that when these things go badly and these trashy girls cheat on him even if their nothing to "official" it still really hurts Harry. He's a sensitive guy. He needs someone who he can love fully and in return the other person give him that same kind of love. Ya know what I mean?" Emma asks and takes another sip off of her coffee.

"Yeah I know what you mean. I myself dated a guy that just wanted me for my body so I know what it's like to give love in a relationship and not receive it in return. I just have a better way of going about it than him. I don't chase after every easy guy that gives me the time of day whereas that's how he is with girls. I'd rather wait so I don't get hurt again.." "I reply and Emma nods her head, "I wish that that was how Harry was when it came to girls." Emma replies, "He really needs a girl like you. Damn he needs you." Emma chuckles which makes me blush and look down.

"Well anyway Louis just text me back, they're coming over at 4:00." Emma grins, "So I guess we should make ourselves look somewhat presentable." I chuckle, "Yeah I guess." Emma chuckles in reply then we start getting ready.

It's now 3:55 and we await the guys arrival. "So how are you gonna get it to where it's just Harry and I?" I ask and Emma looks in thought, "Lou and I can go get some pizza or something like that." Emma says and I nod, "Okay yeah, that would work." I reply then a knock come to the door.

"Hey guys!" I great when I open the door and they both hug me then I usher them in and they go bear hug Emma. "So what are we doing tonight?" Harry asks and plops down on the couch, "Just hanging out, probably watch some movies and go pick up some food." Emma replies and Harry makes a face as if to say he was satisfied with the plans. "So what do y'all have in mind for watching?" Louis asks and sits down next to Harry and pulls Emma into his lap. "Umm how about we pick a series to start on, that way every time we hang out we can watch more?" I say and everyone seems to agree.

We've been debating on shows for the past thirty minutes and we've gotten little to nowhere. "I vote Dexter." Emma says and I agree, "I second the Dexter vote." "I wanna watch American Horror Story." Harry adds, "Well I wanna watch Breaking Bad." Louis says adding another show into the mix. "Well you two are outnumbered seeing as Dexter has two votes and both of y'alls just has one." I say and the boys huff, "Fine. Dexter it is." they say in unison and we all look at each other. "Holy shit that was cool." Harry chuckles, "Yeah it was." Louis adds and starts to chuckle as well.
