The Truth Is | Harry Styles

Chapter 20 - Offical ?

Louis' words echoed in Harry's head.

Try not to let Fae see you getting too close with her.

Eleanor told me something quite interesting about her, if you ever do break up with her, I apologise in advance. I didn't know.

Harry wondered whether he should phone Louis and ask him what he really meant about Fae.

"Harry."

Harry's eyes shot up to see two females stood front of him who were talking amongst themselves.

"Yeah?" Harry questioned. Mia looked at Harry and then slightly laughed to herself. "I was saying, wouldn't it be nice to go for a picnic?" Anne said.

Harry looked at his mother like she was crazy. "In winter? Unless you want a bit of rain or snow on your food, I suggest we don't do that."

"So, then, what are you going to do for Christmas?" Anne questioned. "Uhmm...Well, I don't actually know. I was thinking maybe Mia and I could come over here and we could have a nice Christmas lunch. Or anything actually. Maybe we could all even go somewhere else, possibly to another country or something. How about you guys decide," Harry said, a little nervously.

Mia laughed at the boy fumbling in front of her. "I think we could come here for lunch," She said. "Yeah, that plan sounds a lot less tiring and a lot less expensive," Anne added.

Harry smiled, and as the two females got to talking about Christmas, he got lost in his thoughts.

"Eleanor told me the bad news," Louis said on the other end of the line. "Gosh, I'm really, really sorry."

Harry collapsed on his bed as he held his phone to his ear. "What are you sorry for? She only told me that I disgusted her and it isn't the last time I'll be seeing her," Harry said.

Louis laughed at Harry's words. "What do you think she means? Will she be there for my birthday next year, bearing chocolates?" Harry questioned, to which Louis laughed again.

"Mate, I'm pretty sure she's planning that you won't have another birthday at all," Louis replied. "She looks pretty terrible though."

"I know and I actually feel really bad. I didn't know she was going to be heartbroken, we weren't even that close."

"The fact is that you were one of the closest people to her, as crazy as that does sound. You and Eleanor were the only people she actually talked to and she went through some pretty deep stuff in her earlier years that kind of just left her immune to boys," Louis explained.

"What happened?" Harry asked.

"She needs to tell you herself," Louis replied. "It's actually better you hear it from her than from me."

"Yes, that sounds great. When she holds a knife to my throat I'll make sure my last words are 'will you please tell me why you need to be in a mental hospital?"

Louis laughed slightly. "I think if you actually talk to her, she'll spare a few moments of your life," He said. "But, just so you know, Eleanor is talking to her at the moment. She's explaining your situation to her."

"What is there to explain?"

"Well, I don't think Fae understands what Mia is to you. She possibly thinks Mia is still your sister," Louis replied.

"She doesn't. Earlier today she said that it didn't matter that Mia wasn't actually your sister," Harry said. "And afterwards, she just fell apart."
