I'm finally talking again. Harry slept in the bed with me last night. Having his arms wrapped around me was exactly what I needed. Me and Harry were up all night talking. He helped me to be okay with all of this. He comforted me. I'm so glad I have Harry.
I'm going to talk to Ellie today. I'm not sure if everyone knows about me and Niall braking up yet but they probably do.
"Are you planning on doing anything today?" Harry asks me.
"I'm going to see Ellie." I tell him.
"Okay well I'm hanging out with zayn." I nod my head then go upstairs to get ready.
I quickly get dressed and put on my makeup then head back downstairs to leave. Harry gives me a kiss then I grab my keys and leave.
When I pull up to Ellie's house Louis is walking out the door.
"Hey Lyd!" Louis walks towards me and hugs me.
"I heard what happened between you and Niall." He gives me a sympathetic look.
"Did he tell you everything?" I ask him.
"Everything?" He looks at me confused.
"Harry.." I slowly say.
"Oh..yeah. He told us about that." I look at the ground from Louis's answer.
"Everyone still loves you Lydia. You don't have to worry about that. Niall even does. He's just mad." He tells me. I nod my head the Walk past him up the porch steps.
"You can walk in. She's in the living room." I thank Louis then walk into the house and into the living room.
Ellie turns around to see me then quickly stands up from the couch.
"Hey Lyd." She pulls me into a hug.
"Are you okay?" She looks at me and I know she's talking about the breakup.
"I'm hanging in there." She gives me a weak smile.
"Have you been staying with Harry?" She asks.
"Yeah." I answer her.
"Well sit down. Let's talk."
Harry's POV.
"I heard you and Lydia are together." Zayn looks at me as he sits next to me on his couch holding two beers.
"Not exactly." I say grabbing the beer from his hand as he hands it to me.
"Not exactly? She's been staying at your house and is always with you now." He takes a sip of his drink before looking back at me.
"Well yeah but we're not together. Niall just broke up with her and I don't want to force her into a relationship." I tell him and he raises his eyebrow at me.
"I still can't believe you did this to Niall though. He was your best friend. You two have been so close since high school and now you can't even look at each other." Zayn's words burn a hole through me. He's right though. Me and Niall have been friends for years and now it's like we hate each other.
"What do you expect me to do? Hand her over to him so we can be friends again? I wouldn't do that in a million years. I love her way too much to do that." Zayn's eyes go wide and I find myself being as surprised at my words as he is.
"What did you just say?" He asks me.
"Nothing. I didn't say anything." I can feel my cheeks burn with redness.
"Dude, you love her." Zayn looks amused now.
"No I don't. I..I don't love her. I didn't mean to say that." My heart is racing and my thoughts are all over the place.
"Harry just admit it. You love her."
I look up at zayn and a smile forms on my lips.
"I love her. I love Lydia."
Lydia's POV.
I'm on my way back to Harry's house after talking to Ellie. We talked for almost three hours. We talked about what happened between me and Niall and the breakup, then how amazing Harry has been to me through all of this, and about Louis and Ellie telling everyone about them getting married. We talked about pretty much anything that we could think of. It was nice to talk to her.
I drive up to Harry's house and walk walk up the steps to the front door. When I walk in all of the lights are off except for a few candles that have been lighted. When I look down at the floor I notice rose petals laid out in a row towards the kitchen. When I walk into the kitchen Harry is standing in front of me. He looks at me and smiles.
"What is all of this?" I ask him.
"It's for you. Sit down." He motions for me to sit at the kitchen table. I sit down and there is a plate in front of me.
"I got you your favorite. Orange chicken with steamed rice and an egg roll." I look at Harry and smile.
"Harry thank you so much but why did you do this? Did something happen?" I look at him for an answer, curiosity growing inside of me. He moves his chair to where he is now sitting directly beside me. He cups my cheek and looks me in the eyes.
"Lydia, I love you. I knew since the first time I met you that you were special. You are so gorgeous and I can't stand being away from you for one minute. I love you...Lydia..I love you."
Harry's words knock my breath right out of me but it soon comes back. The biggest smile appears on my face and I wrap my arms around Harry's neck.
"I love you too Harry. I love you so much." I tell him and his face lights up and he pulls me into a tight and affectionate hug.
