Same Mistakes *sequel for D.D.*

Chapter 8

"Hey sweetie.How was your day?" My dad greets me from his spot on the couch.

"Good." I walk into the kitchen trying to remind myself to stay away from my coffee machine. My hands are still swollen and I don't need to put anymore heat on them.

"I'm going to go change and get some school work done." I give my dad a kiss on his head. I ran up the stairs into my room. I shut the door behind me. I find some sweats and a old t-shirt. I go over to my computer desk and pull out my assignments. I sit down on my bed and take my laptop with me. I slip my headphones on and click on my Pandora app, then decide on 'The Neighbourhood' station.

My bed was covered with all my school work. It was separated into a different pile for each subject. I'm not a very organized person but when it comes to school I become this massive control freak.

It's been a week since I last saw Louis. I remember our talk about trying to be friends again and how much it damaged me. "Did he change his mind and think that I wasn't worth it?" Everyone was leaving and the one person I loved the most had left before anybody else could. I was being pulled by the seams and I couldn't take it anymore.

I sat there on my bed just staring off into space, clearly not thinking about a thing. The door creaked open and I came back into reality.

"Claire?" Harry walked into the room, his hands in his back pockets. He swung back and forth on the heels of his boots.

"Sorry, hold on. Let me put this stuff away." I grabbed everything and shoved it all into random folders. I was going to have to organize that later. I set all my stuff on my desk. I turned my music off. Harry was sitting on my bed looking tired as always.

"Okay, I'm done. Talk." I sat down on the other side of Harry and placed my hand on his leg.

"It's Madi." His arms rested on his leg as he tried to form words.

"Harry, you don't have to be afraid to talk to me about, Madi. Now talk." I laugh trying to be it less awkward.

"I've been taking her out on a few dates lately, you know. And I want us to go back out but I don't know how to ask her." He ran his hands through his curls.

"Harry, Madi loves you. I don't think you'd need to ask. She'd say yes in a heartbeat." I giggle. "But you also really hurt her."

He nods. And lays down on the bed resting his head on my lap, he looks up to my face before speaking.

"You know I need cheated on Madi, right?" He asks.

"What?" My face stun he's up into confusion.

"Caroline kissed me, we were having a friendly conversation and she kissed me. I pulled away and told her I was seeing someone. I didn't want to tell Madi because I was scared. But she found out anyways. I don't know why I was scared to tell her." He places with the necklace around his neck.

"Does Madi know about this?" I ask, full aware that she needs to know about this.

"Yes, I told her on our first date, as friends." He looks completely lost and sad as he says the word 'friends.'

"Enough about me, how are things with you?" He doesn't say anything else but I know what he's refuting too.

I just shrug because I don't want to talk about it.

"Oh come on! I told you about my problems! Now it's my turn to listen." He sits up and starts to laugh.

"Ugh, fine."

"Lay down, Ms. bird. Tell me your problems." He giggled as he tries to be professional. I rest my head on his lap and follow his actions as he once did earlier.

"Louis hasn't talked to me in over a week and I'm beginning to worry. I know we agreed to be friends but I can't just go from being his girlfriend to his 'friend' it just can't work like that. I'm completely torn right now." I rub my hands over my face feeling exhausted. Harry runs his hands through my hair.

"Nothing's fine I'm torn." He starts to sing quietly.

"What about that guy from work?" He asks

"Who? Noah?" I put my hands down and give my full attention to the new subject.

"Yea. He seems like a nice bloke. As far as you've told me." He shrugs.

"We have lunch together, he lives nearby and visits his mum who works at the school." I shrug.

"Why don't we all go on a double date!? You, me, Madi, and Noah!?" Harry starts to get excited.

"I don't know, Harry." I turn my head.

"It's not like you an him are in a relationship. We could all go as friends. I want to meet Noah anyways. Plus, you could help me with Madi." He laughs and starts to blush.

"I'm only doing this for you, because your my best friend and your dating my best friend." I laugh. Harry takes my face into his hands and starts to play with my cheeks.

"Thank you!" He laughs.

"Stop it Grandma!!!" I laugh from my face being squished. Harry lets go and pushes me off the bed.

"Ow!" I tell as I hit the floor.

Harry jump off from the bed as runs out of the room.

"Get back here, STYLES!!!" I tell as I jump to my feet and chase the curly haired boy around the house.

I hadn't laughed like this in a long time. And for once, in the past week. I feel happy.
