Funny Kind of Friendship

Chapter 28: (Louis) Heartbroken

She bursts through the door, flops down on her bed, curls up into a little ball and cries into her pillow. I'm quickly at her side, I pick her up and wrap her in my arms. I let her cry it out, because I know how it feels to have your heart broken into tiny pieces. You give them your everything and soon you feel like you've been cheated, or in our cases we were cheated on. I couldn't believe that a guy like Liam would do anything to harm her like this. I never would have seen it coming if I didn't know about it before hand.

I lean up against the bed frame as soft sobs come from Justine. I squeeze her tight and rub circles in her back.

"Shhh, it's okay, I'm here for you." I say trying to comfort her. I start to play with her hair, because I know it calms her. After a couple of minutes the sobs seem to stop, but the tears still stream down her face. We sit there for a good couple of hours when she takes a deep breath in and let's it out slowly.

"Why did he do it?" She croaks.

"I don't know, I wish I did, but I don't."

"Do you know who she was?"

"A girl he's tutoring." She processes it for a moment.

"I see how it is... She used her helplessness to get him to help her. Also her incredible good looks. Obviously he found someone prettier than who found interest in him and he couldn't turn down the chance." She was putting herself down, I don't like it.

"Come on, Justine, don't do that to yourself! You are beautiful, don't let anyone tell you differently." She doesn't answer. "Are you mad at me for not telling you?"

"No, but how long did you know?"

"About three weeks. I thought he was going to change his actions, but he didn't." I'm glad she's not mad, part of me thought she would be because I kept it from her. Just then we hear a knock at the door. I bet it's Liam coming to talk to Justine.

"I'll get it, just in case it's..." I stop myself, she probably didn't want to be reminded. I try to get up but Justine is still clinging to my T-shirt.

"Come on, love."

"No don't leave me. I need you." She whines.

"I'll be right back." I say as she lets go. I open the door and to my surprise its Harry, and he's holding a container with something inside.

"I heard from Maria what happened. I came to the rescue, I brought cupcakes from the bakery." He says holding up the container and smiling. "I made them myself."

"Is it alright for Harry to come in?" I ask Justine.

"The man has cupcakes, get him in here!" Harry laughs as he walks in and takes off his shoes.

"Still want to see your good friend Harry do ya?" He says sitting next to her on the bed.

"No I just want your food." She says taking the container out of his hands.

"Ouch, I'm a little hurt." He says grabbing the spot over his heart and pretending to die. Justine lets out a laugh and I can't help but smile a little bit. She was smiling, she was trying to forget the pain. Justine is a very easy person to make laugh but when she's sad it's even harder, but somehow Harry had managed to do so.

"So what kind of cupcakes are these?" She asks pulling one out and examining it.

"It's a vanilla cupcake with, as you can see, crushed Oreo on top of the frosting and a cream cheese filling." Harry did always know how to make people feel better when their down. We eat his delicious cupcakes, Harry definatly had outdone himself again. He always was an outstanding baker.

"Thank you so much Harry for stopping by. I really appreciate it." She smiles

"No problem." He smiles back. She leans up and kisses him on the cheek.

"Bloody hell, I've got to get back to work!" He says jumping up. "My lunch break ended 2 minutes ago, see ya!" And he runs out the door. Justine sinks down into her fluffy pillows that decorated her bed, and lest out a long sigh.

"Hey I know what will cheer you up." I say grabbing her laptop and bringing it over to her bed.

"Are we going to watch How I Met Your Mother?" She asks.

"Yup, because I know that's your favorite show." I sit down next to her and she cuddles up next to me. We end up watching this show for the rest of the afternoon, not worrying about anything that was happening outside.
