Untamed Love

Chapter 17 - Tess

Chapter 17 - Tess

I can't believe we are going to be touring the world with One Direction. It's unbelieveable. I'm just a l little worried about how it will go with me trying to avoid Harry and Niall for a couple of months.

- Niall -

Tess is avoiding Harry and I. I know it. I think we should talk to her about it.

"Harry have you noticed that..."

"Tess is avoiding us? Yep"

"WELL, I think we should talk to her about it. You know so she isn't so uncomfortable for the next few months"

"Yeah. Oh here she comes now. Hey Tess. Um... we need to talk"

"Um... Can't right now. I'm busy. Talk to you later?" and she zoomed off

"Well that worked" I said. "How about we wait until we're all settled at the beach house first"

"Yeah. Maybe that will work"

- Harry -

Why is she avoiding us? I know things will be awkward but... SHIT! It's my fault isnt it? Crap! I told her not to get in between us. UGHHH! Her words replayed in my head "I don't want to get in the way of your friendship". She doesn't know it but the more she avoids us the more shes hurting us. I have to talk to her

- Liam -

Cara, Tess and Iz were all in one section of the plane and all the lads and I were on the other. I decided to go talk to Tess and say hi to Cara at the same time. What can I say. Cara is beautiful. She's the most responsible of the three and she is sincere and serious but at the same time compassionate. My type of girl.

As I walked into the section where the girls were they all stared at me. "Oh um... Did I interrupt something?"

"No, no of course not. Liam, you're never interupting anything" said Cara. I noticed Tess looked from me to Cara and back. SHIT. Did she notice. I felt my cheeks get hot. I quickly looked at Tess and asked her "are you avoiding Niall and Harry? Because if you are, you're not gonna solve any problems. You're only going to make things worse". She sighed

"Is it really that obvious?" she asked

"Yes. Yes it is" replied Izzy in a matter-of-factly tone.

"I should probably go talk to them shouldn't I?". I nodded in approval. Cara and Iz stayed behind. Yay? I thought.

- Tess -

As I walked towards the lads section of the plane my heart was hammering against the cage of bones surrounding it. I flicked the curtain/door back and saw that Harry and Niall had their heads in their hands. Louis and Zayn were comforting their best mates. Harry and Niall were saying "why would she think that?" Were they talking about me?

As I took a step back the floor made a loud creak and all of their heads shot up. "Tess?" they all said in unison.

"The one and only" I said with a nervous smile. "Um Zayn, Louis. Cara and Iz are waiting for you in the other section. Zayn's eyes sparkled at the mention of Izzy. Hmmm. There was definitely something going on.

"So, Niall, Harry. I'm sorry that I've been avoiding you. I can't help but think that the closer I get to either of you, the other will get hurt.

I pulled Harry into the 'corridor' and kissed Harry on the cheek and looked him in the eyes. His piercing green orbs looked so young and innocent. "Harry". I began. "Harry, you need to accept that I don't like you in a romantic way. I like Niall. Okay? I'm just really confused. Don't get me wrong. You're a great guy and everythig. But you're not for me. At least not yet. I don't want to get in the way..."

"Tess. I know you mean well by not wanting to hurt Niall and I's friendship. But by ignoring us you are tearing up each of our hearts little by little. You're hurting us Tess. And the sad thing is, you don't even realize it"

"W-what? I would never... I'm sorry" and she ran back into our section to Niall.

"WHY ARE YOU SO STUPID HARRY" I softly screamed. I probably just made things worse.

- Tess -

I ran back to Niall with tears starting to rain down on my face. Niall looked at me with a face that I've seen too many times. "Come here Tess". I ran into his arms and he wrapped his arms around me. My face was buried in his chest and I said "Niall. I have to tell you something". I took a deep breath and started to talk.

"I didn't want to come in between any of you but the more I try to, the more I get hurt and the more I get hurt, the more other people get hurt. I like you Niall. I know I said that I loved you but I'm just so confused. I don't want to ruin our frienship or your friendship with anyone else". By the time I had finished talking tears were streaming down my face. Niall encased my petit body in a heart warming hug. My tears started to soak his shirt.

He looked at me with concern and worry. I kissed him on the cheek and he returned the favour.

- Zayn -

The more and more time I spend with Izzy the more I can't stop thinking about her. Cheesy? Very. Well I am a cheesy person. Her long blonde hair alwayd flowed with the wind. Her wonderful blue-green eyes were speckled with delicte flecks of gold. Se may come across as weak but she is very strong willed. That's what I love about her. I only hope that we will become closer on tour.
