My Two Best Friends

Chapter 3

Harry's Pov

It seemed as if everything went up hill from there. We had started creating our first album in January of 2011. Me and the boys just couldn't be happier. In fact, I'm currently getting ready for a party Zayn decided to throw. While debating on wether to call a cab or drive myself I'm interrupted my my phone buzzing. "Hey" Louis voice beams through the phone. "Hey Lou, are you heading out to Zayn's?" "Yes actually, can I give you a ride?" The thing with me and Louis is that we're literally inseparable. We're best friends, or more like brothers. He's just so cute, his braces, his cheeky smile, his laugh. I'm interrupted from my thoughts by a knock at my mums door. She wanted me to come home and visit for a few days. "Hey Louis, I smile when he comes through the door" "Hey" he smiles and hugs me. "Why hello Louis I haven't seen you in ages" my mum laughs. "Will you take care of my baby boy" Louis pinches my cheeks while responding to me mums embarrassing remark "How could I let anything happen to sweet cheeks over here" my face instantly turns a shade of pink. We all laugh and then Louis asks "Can Harry stay over Anne" he smiles "I wouldn't want you up in the middle of the night waiting for this knuckle head to come knocking at the front door" he laughs. Stay over? Zayn didn't mention staying over. Before I know it, Louis' dragging me to my room to grab some clothes. I sit on my bed as he insists on getting my clothes. "Awe these have kittens on them!" Louis teases holding up a pair of my boxers. Instantly my face resembles a tomato and Louis chuckles and grabs my face with his soft delicate hands. I notice him eyeing my lips. This wouldn't be the first time we kiss. Louis says they're nothing more than friendly kisses. But friends don't kiss? Do they? This all started the day I accidentally peed on Louis in the toilets back during Xfactor. I was so embarrassed, that was until I realized who I had decided to pee on. Louis Tomlinson! He was my cousins neighbor. We would always play footie whenever I went over to visit my cousin. And it seemed he had recognized me as well because we both bursted out laughing. Ever since then we've been attached at the hip. Our first kiss was actually a dare from Zayn. Which I quote he said "you boys are always cuddled up might as well kiss right now" so I wasn't surprised when Louis leaned in to kiss me, kitten boxers still in his hand. The kiss is quick, and Louis quickly goes back to gathering my things. That's the only thing that bothers me. After we kiss he never talks about it, or acknowledges it. It's like it never even happened. "Louis" I say "Mhmn" Louis mumbles while decided what shirt to pack. "Do you... Do you umm... Do you think you've decided yet. If not we won't get there till tomorrow" I laugh it off. I can't. I don't know how to approach the topic with Louis. He chuckles and shoves the clothes into a bag; we head out shortly after saying our farewells to my mum. During the drive to Zayn's my mind wonders off to all the times Louis and me have shared an intimate moment. Whether it be snuggling on a couch or light kisses. The fact that one minute it seems as if he wants me but the next as it meant nothing. I see Zayn's drive way approaching and I begin to fumble with the seatbelt buckle. "Hazza" Louis begins once he has the car parked "you know you mean so much to me, but we can't be together. There's no way the media would take this good. Imagine all the fans we would loose, all the money." So that's why he's been so cautious with everything. "Is money really all that matters Louis? What about happiness?" We both jump as Niall jumps on the hood of Louis car. "Let's get this party started lads", the Irish boy yells dragging me out of the car and up the drive way into the house. Zayn's the first one to greet me, wrapping me in a hug. "I haven't seen you in a while Babe" he chuckles ruffling my curls and planting a sloppy kiss on my cheek. Zayn is probably my closest friend out of the band. I was the one who encouraged him to keep on trying back at the Xfactor boot camp. "Harry!" Liam's says and jumps onto my back causing us both to fall to the ground in a fit of laughter. "Don't forget about me!" Niall yells then belly flops onto me and Liam. Zayn joins soon after landing straight on top of me. We're all laughing hysterically until Louis finally decides to join us. "What's going on here" Louis questions mine and Zayn's position. "No need to be jealous lad, just having a little fun" Zayn laughs helping me up. Jealous? He couldn't be. He said so himself we couldn't be together. I follow the boys into Zayn's living room where he has a karaoke machine out. Tonight is surely going to be one to remember.

Later that night***

We ended up singing a lot of songs and even dancing too. By we I mean me, Zayn, Niall, and Liam. Louis insisted on just watching. He hasn't even had more than three drinks. He's been off ever since our talk in his car. A tap on my shoulder moves my focus and Zayn signs for me to follow him. Reluctantly I get up and follow him into his bedroom. "Nice flat Z" i tell him, still curious on why he brought me in here. "Listen Harry, I... We.. Umm.." "What's wrong? Did I do something" I question his sudden behavior. "No, no it's just. Are you and Louis dating?" (Points if you read that in that girls voice when she had asked Harry at a meet and greet) He finally says curiosity in his voice. "No, why would you think that?" I ask him. "We'll ever since they put us in the group you two have some sort of...connection I guess. And I've walked in on you guys kissing about three times mate. Not including the time I dared you" he pauses. "I love you Harry, you're like the little brother I never had" we both laugh and he continues "I just don't want to see you hurt is all lad" he offers me a smile "Why would he hurt me?" I ask. "Rumors are modest is going to make him date Eleanor Calder in September, that's only one month away. I just don't want to see you hurt is'all" Zayn rubs the back of his head. Obviously nervous. "Why didn't he tell me! We tell eacho..." I'm cut off my Zayn's hand covering my mouth. Instant regret is shown across his face when I lick his palm. "Ew Harry! That's gross!" He laughs. "But please don't tell anyone. Nobody is suppose to find out. I'm just a bit of an eaves dropper, so please don't tell anyone H" Zayn finishes a hint of seriousness in his voice. "Alright, can we at least go back out. Heaven knows what Niall and Liam are up to" Zayn nods pulling me back out then stops and turns me around. "If the lads ask just say I was feeling ill" I nod and we continue down the hallway. What we see makes me and Zayn stop in our tracks.
