Across the Road (Harry Styles Fanfiction)

Chapter 13

Harry's POV




I'd woken up half at hour ago on Louis's sofa. All I remember from last night is seeing Ella again and seeing how angry and upset I'd made her. Then I'd become angry and thrown a beer bottle. I then drowned my sorrows by getting completely pissed and was now sitting at Louis's kitchen counter with a glass of water and some paracetamol, suffering the consequences.




Louis came up behind me and slapped me on the back.




I cringed and rubbed my forehead partly due to my throbbing head and partly because he'd given me a fright.




"Sleep well?" He smirked. Knowing full well I hadn't.




"It's not funny Louis."




"I know mate, I know. What's the story?" he said ,leaning on the counter.

"Justify trashing my flat" he smiled.




I told him the whole story. I explained how Ella moved in opposite us, the party, the kiss and then how I had to change my number after fans started texting me and didn't tell her.




"Shit mate, good luck explaining that one."




"I don't even think she's prepared to look at me at the moment."




"Well I hope you manage to sort things out."




I nodded, thanking him.




"Because she's hot."




I rolled my eyes. He was right though.

Although she wasn't just hot. She was beautiful.







Ella's POV




Niall insisted and driving me back to my flat and then insisted on walking me up to my room as well. I couldn't help but smile at his sweetness.




"I really enjoyed this afternoon." He said looking down at his feet. His shy manor taking me by surprise.




"Yeah me too." I smiled. It was true, Niall had really cheered me up. He was such a gentleman.




Niall looked at me nervously before cautiously planting his lips on mine. This kiss only lasted a second before he pulled away and examined my expression, as if he was testing my reaction. I wanted to show him I wanted this too, so I took charge by wrapping my arms around his neck and leaning in for a longer, more passionate kiss. It wasn't long before we found a rhythm. The kiss was perfect and I couldn't help but smile against his lips.




Harry's POV




"Alright Louis I'm leaving now." I shouted while gathering my things.




"Ok mate, see you soon." he shouted back from his bedroom.




I opened his front door and I wasn't prepared for what I saw next. Niall and Ella were outside her flat sharing a passionate kiss.

My heart sank. I'd always had feelings for Ella. Strong feelings. He held on to her waist and her arms were wrapped around his neck. I couldn't just stand there and watch him ram his tongue down her throat. Even the thought of Ella kissing someone else upset me. I swiftly paced towards the elevator.




Niall pulled away from Ella and faced me "Harry mate."




I cursed under my breath and turned towards him.




Ella avoided eye contact and began playing with her nails.




"I'll come down with you, just wait a minute."




Great not only could I not escape, I had to ride down in the lift with a smug Niall. I rolled my eyes and waited. Niall kissed her one last time and she giggled.




"I'll call you." he said before giving her a final kiss on the cheek and jogging towards me.




He raised his eyebrows in a greeting.

"Sup mate."




We entered the lift and avoided eye contact.




"How's the head?"




"Fine" I lied.




"Ella told me how you knew each other." He paused.




"How come you forgot about her?"




I wanted to blow up on him but held back.




"I didn't forget about her."




"It sounds like you did."




"Well I didn't okay!" I said, even surprising myself with my aggressive tone.




"Okay I was just saying" he said holding his hands up in the air in defence.




"Well don't say! Despite what Ella has told you, you know nothing about how I feel about her, how she feels about me and what went on between us so just stay out of it!" I spat.




The lift doors opened and I sped off before he had a chance to reply.
