Guess who's back, back, back, back again. *insert cute monkey emoji* I think this is one of the most looked forward to chapters since the book began. #spoiler I'm kidding but like for real. I liked this chapter. It was fun.

Harry's POV

I saw red all through the drive home, I didn't stay the night as I intended, I barely stayed 10 minutes. My knuckles were white from the grip and force that I was applying to the steering wheel. The three hour drive back home had merged into two hours but the speed limit didn't bother me, I just had to see Abby.

The engine revved before turning off and I jumped out of the car my feet slamming against the pavement of our driveway. My mind was so unfocused that I forgot to lock the car, I just had to get inside.

"Abby" I called when I walked through the door, slamming it roughly behind me. I didn't care about the time, hell, I didn't even care about Louis, I just needed to speak to her. I wasn't going to let anything stop me.

"Harry" Abby's voice was a mere whisper. She looked white, pale like she'd just seen a ghost.

I only glared, "Guess who I just saw" I grunted the words through clenched teeth.

Abby released a sigh, "Who?" She asked.

"I just had a good chat with your best friend in the whole world, you know, Joe? The one who you love so much. Or has he slipped your mind too?"

"Harry" Abby repeated herself, but this time there was more panic in her voice, wheels began to click.

"Do you remember him? Do you at least remember your steamy kiss? Because he sure does" I seethed.

"Harry I was going to tell you, I just didn't know how-"

I cut her off, my body filling with rage at each of her words, "You were going to tell me? Just like how you were going to tell Louis? You were just waiting for the right time? Is there anything else you want to tell me about? Because I'm sure this is the perfect time"

"I tried to tell you, but I knew how you'd react, you were so overprotective I would be able to explain myself" Abby tried to excuse.


"So what? You figured you'd get Joe to explain for you? About how helpless little Abigail couldn't control herself. I did everything for you, everything and you repay the favour by kissing your best friend" I mocked her.

Abby's eyes filled with rage, "Oh sure" She snapped, "You are such a hypocrite, at least I got kissed and didn't respond, he apologised straight away because he knew it was a mistake, I made it known to him it was a mistake. At least Joe didn't call you to throw it in your face that he made out with your girlfriend. Unlike some people" Abby crossed her arms over her chest.

"And what's that meant to mean?" I retorted. "Obviously Joe didn't, but I almost wish he would have so I wouldn't have spent a month walking around in love with a girl that cheated on me and didn't have the nerve to tell me"

"Annabel" Abby suddenly said. I paused for a moment, the words about to stream from my mouth were halted in place. So she was there. I did actually hear her.

"What?" I let the word slip accidently.

"You heard me, is that where you're taking girls now? My favourite place in the world? What, you thought it was so romantic you had to share? Our first kiss was up there and then you and Annabel, isn't that just hilarious?" Abby was fuming, her jaw clenched and her hands held so strongly against the wheels of her chair her knuckles had turned white. "And to think I was sitting around actually worried about, and then I get this lovely phone call from Annabel telling me how funny it was that she had just made out with my ex-boyfriend"

I didn't back down however, "At least I waited until we weren't dating to be with someone else-"

"Oh yeah, two days, really shows how much I meant to you" She laughed with no humor in her tone.

"You cheated on me remember, you and Joe kissed and what? You accidently forgot to tell me?"

"Joe kissed me, I never wanted it to happen. You willingly kissed another girl, in the spot of our first kiss, two days after we broke up"

"Exactly" I yelled, "We broke up, I had every right to do whatever I want with any other girl because its got nothing to do with you!"

"You must be really happy that Louis never found out then, aren't you?" Abby hissed, her voice low.

"You'd be surprised" I glared at Abby. I wanted to tell Louis, I always wanted to tell him, if it wasn't for her and this irrational fear of Louis knowing then we would be snuggled up on the couch beside her with Louis openly okay with us doing so.

"What the hell is going on here?" Louis came into view, his eyes drooped and only his sweat pants on, clearly we'd woken him.

Perfect timing.

"Go on Abby" I smiled at her, "Why don't you tell Louis what's been happening? I know you've been so open to the idea" I glared at her.

Abby just blinked at me, her head whipping from Louis to me, then back to Louis again. I saw the fear clear in her eyes.

"What?' Louis questioned.

"I..." Abby suddenly trailed.

"Come on Abby, just five little words, its not that hard" I teased her, I couldn't care less about her feelings at this moment, my mind was full of fury and it was all towards one girl.

"What the hell is going on with the two of you?" Louis suddenly ordered the answer, his eyes narrowing glancing between the two of us. "Harry what stunt are you trying to pull, first the interview and now showing up here at 1 in the morning and screaming. What's going on with you?"

I directed my anger at him for the moment, "Ask your sister" I spat out.

Louis glanced at Abby who's face had paled even further, the fire behind her eyes had gone now, diminished as though it was never there.

But for all I know, this could all just be an act.


Another act.

"Abby?" Louis pried her.

"Come on Abby" I coaxed, "Five little words" I bent down, my hands coming to my knees as I matched her at eye level.

"I" She whimpered, I could see her mind working, forming little thought bubbles to weave her way out of this situation.

"Come on Abby, I'll even say them with you" I held up five finger, "Harry" I said the first word holding my finger half way up until she repeated the word.

"Harry" she barely whispered, her eyes darting still.

"And" I offered the second word.

"And" She repeated slowly.

"I" I pushed it out of her.

"I" Abby suddenly sat up straight, "Harry and I wanted to apologise about how we acted at the interview, it was completely unprofessional and we-" I cut Abby off on her rant, my eyes narrowing into dark slits.

"Uh-uh-uh, that's not what we're telling him, are we?" Abby glared at me. "Where were we, Harry and I" I returned up my three fingers.

"Fine" Abby glared and I grinned a malicious grin, "You want to know the truth" Abby held up five fingers of her own good hand, dropping them at each word.

"I'm. In. Love. With. Harry" She glared at me and I stood back frozen. They were not the five words I expected to escape Abby's mouth.
