💫|HARRY'S POV|💫

March 7, 8:38 p.m.

There's a huge smile on my face as I press the 'Print' button on my laptop. Daniel has been helping out a lot with my writing and today, he's helped me publish my very first piece. I giggle softly as I look over at Daniel's printer, watching the crisp, white paper pour out one after the other. My fingers are quick to grab them and put them out when it's finished. The warm temperature of the freshly printed paper makes me hold the paper close to me and I look at the printed copy of my own work.

My own work.

I never thought in a million years I'd be holding it in my hand. And I have the power to do whatever I want with it. I hear a chuckle behind me and turn in Daniel's desk chair, glancing over at him. The smile plastered on his face is a mockery of mine and I only giggle more.

"I'm just really happy." I tell him. He smiles and nod.

"I can see that." He says and sits down beside me. My smile widens as I look down at the paper in my hands, careful not to crinkle it.

"Thank you so much for this, Danny. You're amazing." I say to him, truly thankful. We stare at each other for a second in comfortable silence and the next thing I know, the boy's lips are pressed against mine in a light kiss. It takes me a second to process how I feel about it and before I could decide, he's pulled back, looking at me with a small smile. I let out a small sigh.

"Danny..."

He puts his head down and nods, letting out a sigh himself.

"I know.."

I bite my lip as I look down into my lap. Daniel is a very sweet guy and he's my best friend. We had a relationship in the past, but that's just what that is: the past.

"I'm with Louis now." My last thought comes out spoken and I glance over at Daniel. He just nods again.

"Daniel, I love you, but we can't do that anymore." I tell him truthfully. Daniel has snaked a kiss or two from me before and I was fine with it at first, but it's getting to be too much. I feel like I'm cheating on Louis and that's far from okay. Louis, is the most sweetest guy in the world, I can't do that to him, especially when he's done so much for me. Daniel looks at me with a sad expression and taps his foot on the ground.

"Do you remember the night of the party?" He asks. I roll my eyes as he brings it up again. I don't remember it and I don't want to remember. All I know is that I had too much to drink and that's all I need to know.

"Daniel, I told you, I don't like to talk about it." I tell him, placing my typed work on the desk and getting ready to shut down my laptop.

"Harry," he huffs out a breath. He's suddenly grown impatient with me.

"You kissed me and told me you still loved me." He says and I freeze. There's no way I could have said that to him. Could I? I don't love him like that anymore. Not in that way. Right? I'm with Louis. Louis loves me and I love him more than anything. I feel the chair turn and I look over to see that Daniel has stood up. He takes my hand and stand up as well. My head spins as I look up at him.

"When we were separated, I was lost and upset without you. Breaking up with you was probably the hardest thing I ever had to deal with.." He begins to speak.

"You were my best friend. You were my everything." He whispers as he takes my hand again. My eyes start to fill with tears as I don't know how to feel. I put my head down only for him to lift it again and he looks deep into my eyes. I sniffle softly as he opens his mouth to speak again.

"You're still my everything and I still love you, too." He whispers. I feel a tear slip down my cheek and simultaneously feel Daniel's lips against mine again in a deeper kiss. I don't pull away this time either. I slowly feel myself caller deeper and deeper into his embrace as his arms wrap themselves around him. My thoughts are running wild, telling myself to pull away, but my body betrays my mind as I sink into his chest and feel the kiss deepen even more. More tears slip from my eyes as I realize that as of now; I have been unfaithful to Louis. I have betrayed Louis' love. I've cheated on him.

I still can't find the courage, nor the strength to break away from this kiss. And I know that I don't want to. I want to stay here, be with him, lay with him, having him hold me so tight in his arms. I want him. I love him.

His hands moves to my cheeks and our lips part for a second and then connect once again in soft, delicate pecks again, and again, and again. His thumbs brush away my fallen tears from my cheeks and I sniffle softly. My eyes slowly open after seeming like forever of being closed. The boy in front of me glares at me with wide, innocent eyes and I know and I feel that he means every word he's spoken to me. He left his heart out on his sleeve for me. His hazel eyes flutter shut as he looks down, his lashes lay flat against his cheek bones. I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket and I look down, knowing it's Louis.

Daniel pulls away from our embrace without a word and starts to place my laptop into it's bag. I reluctantly reach into my pocket and pull out my phone, slowly sliding the green icon, answering it.

"Hello?" My voice cracks at the end and I curse at myself. I hear the fumble of keys on the other line.

"Hey..." Louis speaks slowly, sounding concerned.

"Are you okay, love?" He asks. He knows. I quickly wipe my eyes and reply in the strongest tone my voice can operate right now.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Lying to Louis hurts, but that may also be the sting in my throat from crying.

"O-okay... I'm outside." He says softly.

"I'll be out soon." I say and hang up quickly as I feel myself getting choked up again. I feel sick to my stomach. I slowly slip my phone into my pocket and look up at Daniel. He holding out my laptop case and gives me an apologetic look, but doesn't speak. I take the laptop and slide the strap over my shoulder, looking back at him.

"I'll see you tomorrow." I whisper quickly, wiping my eyes clean so Louis would have a least likely chance of figuring out what happened. I walk to the door the open it, walking out of his house, seeing Louis sitting inside Jay's car and looking up at me. He smiles so brightly when he sees me and gets out of the car and walks over to me. He grips ahold of the strap of the case and presses a kiss to my cheek.

"Let me grab this for ya." He says softly. Louis glances back at the house and his smile fades as he take the case off of my shoulder. My heart pounds as Louis looks back at me and places a kiss to my lips.

"I missed you." He whispers before walking to the car and placing the laptop case in the backseat. He smiles at me and opens the car door for me. I nervously smile back and get in the car, watching him close the door. Both of us look back at the house and I see Daniel staring at me outside of the window and my hands start to shake anxiously as I know Louis had seen him, too. Louis comes around and gets in, starting the car. I take a deep breath and glance back at the window as Louis drives off.
