***Harry's P.O.V.***

It was late in the morning when I walked back over to Louis' room in the hotel and knocked on the door with a yawn. After a few moments a tired looking Louis answered the door and he sighed heavily when he saw me. ''Yes, Harry?'' he yawned.

''I was wondering if you wanted to hang out today,'' I started nervously and he just rolled his eyes at my behavior. It honestly hurt a little because I thought I had actually gotten through to him last night when we talked. I guess that was a bit of a long shot for me to have thought about, but I was willing to try anything to get my friend back again.

''I have plans today,'' he told me and my eyes lit up with hope.

''With Elizabeth and Carson?'' I wondered and his eyes went wide before going back to normal though his body language said he was nervous with his reply.

''No, I am going to go see a few old friends that are here,'' he lied before going to close the door but I stopped him before he could.

''Can I at least come in and wait around with you until you have to go?'' I tried and he let out a heavy sigh before stepping aside and letting me in. I thanked him before heading into his lounge room and sitting on the couch. Louis was somewhere else in the hotel room but he soon joined me in the lounge with a soda. ''So, I was thinking that I would try to find a place to eat later and maybe if I find Eliz-,'' I started but he turned up the volume on the TV and I got the message.

The hotel phone rang and he picked it up quickly before mumbling a few words and then putting it back into its nest. ''I have to go down to the front desk and take care of a few things, I'll be back soon,'' he informed me before heading out of the room and leaving me starring at the TV without interest. There was a buzzing coming from the side table beside me and I looked over with a raised eyebrow before realizing that it was Louis' phone and that he had received a text. I quickly picked it up and touched the only button on the front of the phone to view the text without Louis having to know.

Sounds great. See you soon, and don't forget to bring the Twix, yeah? Remember it's the Hotel Des Grandes Ecoles and you already know the room number so we're good, right? -Elizabeth

The door creaked open and I quickly put the phone back in the place where it had been before he had the chance to catch me looking at it. I sat back in the couch to seem casual and he flopped down on the couch next to me. I stayed for the next half hour and sat in silence that ate away at me. I didn't want to leave right away because then he would know something was up, but every second that I stayed I felt a bit more impatient to leave. By the time I finally decided I had waited long enough my knee was bouncing uncontrollably.

''I better get going,'' I told him and he nodded curtly as I tried to make my movements as haste less as possible. Once I was out of the room I ran out of the hotel and quickly hailed a taxi. I had no more patience and I was determined to find her. The hotel's name was still engraved in my mind and I didn't care how many times I had to knock on a door in order to find her. I would find her, and I would make all of this right.

I trekked up the final set of stairs to the next level of rooms where I knew I would find her. I took in a deep breath as I prepared myself incase it actually was her. The door flung open and my breath hitched.

''Lou!-,'' she stopped when she realized that it wasn't Louis. For a moment she stood there, frozen in shock and then she went to close the door quickly. I wedged my foot in between the door and the frame before it could close and pushed the door back open as she backed away from me. ''H-Harry, please leave,'' she stuttered out as I walked towards her. Her voice was weak and fragile and it made my heart break a little as I heard it because I knew that I had caused it. She feared me so much and I hated it. I hated how I was able to do something so cruel to her and break her heart.
