Ditched (a Harry Styles love story)

Chapter 34

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

I paced around in my flat nervously as I waited for the door to open and for Elizabeth to come in with Louis. I had offered to pick her up at the airport but she had told me that Louis had already offered. I wanted to go with him but he said that he wanted to talk to her about Carson and it was a nonnegotiable decision. So, I had resulted to waiting anxiously in the empty flat. I was so excited to see her again and with each day after my trip to Paris I got a bit more happier. We had talked a little over texts and calls though the conversations were short due to her having so much to do in the other countries. Or, at least that was what I told myself to assure my feelings.

It had been about two months since I had last seen her and even though I knew that the semester for Uni would start soon, I was still looking forward to spending the next few weeks with her. I had been noticeably happier since my time in Paris and even though I was happy, I still felt as though I would break again if I wasn't able to hug her again. Each hour that passed was one more string of happiness that broke and I was starting to worry. To distract myself I found myself thinking back on the past few months.

''You seem a lot more giddy lately, Harry,'' Alan Carr observed during one of our interviews while I smiled at nothing. I hadn't been able to wipe the smile off of my face since my trip to Paris and everyone seemed to notice.

''Yes, yes I guess I do,'' I smiled back while bouncing a bit in my seat. The boys around me chuckled lightly at my actions; even Louis who was happier lately as well.

Liam patted my back with a smile of his own as he added a comment, ''it's nice to have the old, happy Harry back. He really hasn't been this happy since Elizabeth was here.''

''What's the update with that?'' Alan asked, ''I heard that you went to Paris to see her, I assume?''

''Yes, yes I did,'' I nodded giddily. I remembered back to the agreement we had and how much I couldn't wait to see her again.

''And what happened?'' he prompted.

Niall answered for me with excitement in his voice, ''Lizzie's coming back!''

''Really? What happened with the whole mess up thing?'' he wondered.

My smile dropped a little at the mention of that night but it soon came back, ''we're not together, but maybe in time she'll forgive me enough to take me back.''

''What if she doesn't forgive you?'' he followed with a small frown while thinking of the possibility.

''I-I don't really know... I cant see myself with anyone other than her,'' I shrugged before adding, in a half-serious and half-joking manner, ''I guess I'll just live to be a lonely man with seventy cats.''

Alan chuckled at my answer before smiling at me with a genuine smile, ''I'm sure that I speak for all of us when I say that we're happy that you found someone who really makes you happy.''

''She really does,'' I nodded, ''thank you.''

I was brought out of my thoughts by the creak of the door and the sound of laughter floating through the flat and reaching my ears. The smile returned to my lips, but this time it was ten times brighter and ten times bigger. I made my way to where Elizabeth and Louis were entering and within seconds I had pulled her into a bone crushing hug. She didn't hug back, but I didn't need her to; I just wanted to hold her in my arms for a while. She was still giggling slightly which was a good sign, but I'm pretty sure it had to do with what Louis and her were talking about before she came in. ''Okay, Harry, let her go,'' Louis instructed with a laugh lacing the words. He wasn't as hostile as he was before but I knew I had to tiptoe around our friendship at the moment to be on the safe side. ''She has to put her stuff away,'' he added.

''Not yet,'' I mumbled in protest while I continued to hug her tightly. When I let her go I smiled at her and she surprisingly returned it before grabbing her suitcase and heading into the guest room. Once she had closed the door Louis turned to me with a serious look on his face.

''I mean it Harry, if you so much as lay a finger on her in a bad way; I will rip your man parts off,'' he threatened and I nodded in reply.

''You don't have to worry, Louis, I'm not going to make that mistake again,'' I assured him. Just as I finished my words there was a knock on my door and I raised an eyebrow in confusion before going to answer it. It was probably a delivery guy or someone along those lines. However, when I opened the door I came face to face with a sobbing Megan. ''Megan, what's wrong?'' I wondered as I guided her through the door. She just latched onto me in reply as she continued to sob and Elizabeth and Louis joined us in the foyer where I tried to get her to calm down.

''What happened?'' Louis pressed once she had settled down a bit and was sniffling on my couch with a cup of tea in her hands. It had taken a bit to get her to this stage, but she was finally able to talk.

(Spoiler Alert for anyone who reads Found!)

''Liam cheated on me,'' she sniffled, starring down at her cup with a sad and almost broken look on her features. We all gasped because, frankly, Liam was the last person we would expect to cheat on someone. Elizabeth tugged on Megan's hand and they both walked out of the room and to Elizabeth's without any explanation. I figured that it was so that they could talk more about it; after all, Elizabeth had gone through the same thing with one of her other boyfriends.

''What in the actual f*** just happened?'' Louis asked.

''I don't know, but I sure hope that it's not what we think,'' I replied with a shake of my head.

''You don't think that Liam would actually ever do that, do you?'' he followed with and I shook my head.

''No, but I don't think that she's lying either.''
