The Theater Room

Chapter 22

Harry's POV:

I've hardly slept. I've been up all night trying to decipher what meaning that look held. Was she mad at me? Why would she be mad at me? I've done nothing. I knocked that drink over by accident. Plus why would that make her mad? I really don't understand why she'd be mad. Did the sight of me really piss her off that much? I remember when we'd see each other and it wouldn't matter who was around we'd wave and call out to each other. What happened to that?

Why am I asking myself all these questions? Why do I care this much? "Ughhh!" I groan and sit up and lean against my headboard. "Do I like Erin?" I mumble and rest my head in my hands. "Haaaarrrryyyyy.." Louis groans and I look up in the direction of his bed. "Sorry mate." I reply and then I hear his bed squeak letting me now that he is also sat up now.

"What's got you up man?" Louis asks through a yawn, "I just got some stuff on my mind." "Like what?" "Problems with some of the girls in my life." I reply through a sigh, "Erin?" Louis then asks and I stay quiet. "Listen mate, i'm not telling you how to live your life.. But Erin.. She's who you should be with." "But-" "No Harry. No buts. Just listen." Louis cuts me off and I stay silent.

"I know you went through some shit with Lizzy last year, but that doesn't give you the right to be an asshole." Louis says and I don't make a peep, "Just because you gave it your all with her and it didn't go so well doesn't mean that you completely give up on trying to find someone else to love. Dude just think about how much love you could have for the next girl you truly let in, and the amount of love that they could give you back." Louis says and I go to speak but nothing comes out.

"Look man, all i'm trying to say is that you deserve so much more than Jackie. The 'relationship' is a sham. All you do is fu.ck man. That's not what a relationship is about. You need someone who treats you with respect. I know you've been hurt in the past.. That doesn't mean you safeguard your heart from ever loving again though." Louis says then pauses for a moment, "You should let Erin in." he adds and I sit here just taking it all in.

"I told her that I don't like her." I murmur seeming to finally find my voice. "So?" "So she thinks I don't like her." I reply and Louis sighs then I hear his feet hit the ground. "Wow the Harry Styles is scared to tell a girl he likes her." Louis chuckles and sits on the foot of my bed. "Shut up Lou." "Did you have feelings for her when you told her you didn't like her?" "No.. Yes. Ugh fu.ck why does this have to be so difficult?" I sigh and throw my hands up.

"Because you actually like this girl. That's why it's difficult." "How can I be sure?" "Sure of what?" "That I do like her?" "Gosh dammit Harry." Louis sighs and rubs over his face with his hands."Liz really messed you up." he adds then continues, "What do you feel when you see her with another guy?" Louis asks and I think for a moment. "I feel mad. I feel like my blood is boiling inside of me. I- I feel jealous." I reply and Louis smirks, "What to you think when you see her?" "I think she's the most beautiful person in the room." "Mhmm, and what do you like most about her?" "Her personality. It's so great. And her eyes.. Lou her eyes you could get lost in. Especially when she's excited about something. She's so adorable." I chuckle thinking about her and I look up to see Louis grinning from ear to ear.

"Well Styles i'd say you have a crush." Louis replies and I smile, "Wait." I interject and Louis raises a brow, "What?" "I have to call off whatever I having going between Jackie and I before I act upon this." "Well no shit." Louis chuckles, "Lou.." "Yeah?" "Do you think Erin still likes me?" "Um.. honestly I don't know mate. I hope she still does." "Yeahh, I hope so too." "It'll all work out mate." "Thanks Lou." I reply  and he smiles then gets up and walks back over to his bed, "Lou?" "Yeah Harry?" "What should I do now?" "Ugh." Louis chuckles and looks over at me, "I don't know text her or something. You're so hopeless Styles my god." Louie chuckles and gets back into bed. "Gee thanks." I reply and I can hear Louis' muffled laughing. Well I guess i'll text her.
