Fade (Larry Stylinson)

Chapter 6

Sorry for deleting the other chapter six, but my readers deserve better, not some crap! So here's the new and improved chapter six!

Harry's POV:

It's about three a.m. and I can't sleep. Everything's been on my mind from Louis, to Aiden, to our new band, to Louis and Aiden meeting. I can't possibly imagine that they'll like each other, that's definitely not an option. I saw the look Louis gave him when he sat down with us.

I just miss Aiden so much, and I'm secretly glad he's here. On the other hand, I've only been with Louis for a two weeks, and I didn't realize how much I missed him. It's like the two pieces of the puzzle have been found, but they don't quite go together. Louis is fire, and Aiden is ice. Complete opposites.

Using both hands I rub my face and tousle my hair. I guess I'm going for a walk. Walks have always been able to clear my head, and get rid of all the drama, even if it's only for a little while. I exit the tent, carefull not to wake Louis.

I see a path about 50 yards away that looks well used, so I decide to follow it. I didn't bring a flashlight, but the moon is full, shining through the tree branches.

No matter how hard I try, Louis and Aiden somehow sneak back into my mind. They're like boomerangs, no matter which way I throw them, they always come back. It's aggitating me. Not that I want them gone for good, I just want them out of my mind.

"So, get out, get out, get out of my head," I sing quietly to myself. Singing always helps me rid my thoughts as well. It's like medicine, but it taste's good.

I have to stop once I reach a little river, and sit down on a large boulder. It's really beautiful out here; the river is glistening due to the moonlight, lush green grass around me, and little fish swimming in the crystal clear water. It feels like a secret hide away.

I know this place! This is the place where Gemma, Louis, and I went fishing, and then got lost afterwards. That was so much fun. I smile to myself remembering how Louis and Gemma kept arguing over which way to go. Turns out if we'd gone Gemma's way, we wouldn't have gotten lost, but Louis always gets what he wants.

Out of nowhere comes footsteps behind me. I turn my head to see Aiden sleepily walking towards me. He flashes his blinding, award winning smile, and I practically melt. He's always had that effect on me. He's always been able to make me feel like the only person in the world.

"I heard you leave your tent. I thought maybe we could talk," he balances on his toes, rocking back and forth.

"Sure." I pat the spot next to me, and he sits a foot away from me. I want him to come closer, but I don't tell him that.

"So how's Doncaster?" he asks, slowly inching closer towards me. I want him to hug me. I want to feel his arms around me. But at the same time I don't. I should be mad at him. He broke my heart.

"It's good, Louis' been a really good friend. I've actually known him since we were kids."

"Oh, that's cool, I guess.." his voice is lacking all emotion. Yeah, there's no way they're gonna be friends.

"Look, I didn't follow you all the way out here to talk about Louis. I came here to talk about us."

"If you don't remember clearly, you're the one who broke up with me. I don't know why you wanna bring this up," I frown at him. Why would he want to suddenly want to get back together with me.

It's because he's jealous of Louis, a little voice in the back of my head tells me. I shake it away and focus back on Aiden.

"You and I both know we had reasons Harry. You moved away, and you know the long distance relationship wouldn't have worked out," he defends himself.

"Bullshit! We would've made it work! I would've called you every day, skyped you every night, and texted you every five minutes! If you loved me like you said you did, you know it would've worked out!

"I do love you! And I've missed you like crazy. I just wasn't prepared for that kind of relationship Harry!"

"Then what makes now any different? You still live in Cheshire, and I live in Doncaster."

He bites his lip a moment before answering. "I'm moving to Doncaster. I wanted to be with you. I can't go a day without seeing your face, kissing your.. soft lips," he licks his own lips and stares at mine.

I turn away before I do something I'll regret later.

"I wanna take you on a date. One date, and then if you don't want to be mine again, then I'm okay with that." One date. It'll just be like two friends going out to eat, or something. Something in the back of my mind is telling me no. Oh yeah it's the fact that he broke my heart and he could easily break it again.

" Fine, one date. But when we get back from vacation. This is my time to spend with my family and Louis."

For the next twenty minutes we just sit there, awkwardly enjoying the river together. I get up and leave him, going back to the tent before Louis wakes up.

When Louis does wake up, he looks hot with his hair all messy and his cute puffy eyes. Great. I just agreed to a date with Aiden and I'm having certain thoughts in my mind about Louis. I'm such a mess. 

I stay awake for the next three hours before Louis wakes up. He yawns and stretches his arms in the air, looking like a five year old boy. 

"Morning Louis," I smile and he grabs me and pulls me down next to him. 

"Cuddle with me Hazza," he pleads and I give in. I can't resist those puppy dog eyes he gives me. If I'm agreeing to seeing Aiden again, that means I'm gonna have to draw a boundary between friendly and more than friendly with Louis. Man, this is so difficult.

I re-did it and it still sucks! Haven't updated in so long, and I apologize! Things will be better once they go back into town I promise :)
