Same Mistakes *sequel for D.D.*

Chapter 12

"Harry!" Madison runs down the stairs when she hears his voice from the doorway. She jumps into his arms holding him tight. "I missed you so much." She snuggles into him. I stand there not sure of what to do. "Uh, guys?" "Don't ruin the moment Claire!" Madi snaps

"I'm sorry." I pretend to cry.

'Go sit in a corner and cry! I need to be able to hear Harrys breathing so I know that he's real!" She jokes.

"AGH! I'M NOT WANTED!" I begin to make strange sounds as I pretend to cry on my couch.

"Hey, Claire. How's Noah." Harry sits down next to me as we watch some show on the TV.

"He's doing good."

"That's nice." He pretends to smile and I know he's annoyed.

"Why don't you like Noah?" The burning question is finally being released from my lips. Harry just shrugs but that answer isn't enough for me. Madi is in the kitchen doing who knows what. So this is the perfect chance to make Harry tell me. I spring myself at Harry and begin to hit him playfully.

"Tell me!!!!" I screech. Harry pushes me off the couch and I land with a thud. "That hurt!" I yell. "And I'm suppose to care, why?"

"You're mean." I begin to pout like a fiver year old.

"Stop being such a baby!" He laughs. I sit up on my knees and rest my head on the couch. I look up at Harry and frown. "Why won't you tell me. I want to know why you don't like my boyfriend." I say seriously but my body feels numb at the mention of him being my boyfriend

"I'm just afraid that he'll hurt you. He seems like a good guy but after what happened with Louis... Don't you think you're rushing things? Louis doesn't understand what's going on. He's confused and I know that he still loves you but he just doesn't know how to put his feelings towards you since he thinks it was always Eleanor." My body cringes at the mention of their names. I can never bring myself to even say their names anymore. All I wanted was to be loved. William always said that, "If a man can't love you the way that he should. Then he shouldn't call himself a man." I never really understood why Will always said that, but I think I know what it means now.

"Harry, He's not like that. Noah loves me." I defend Noah. He does love me, right? I know he does because he told me. I know that I love him. But am I for sure that he loves me?

"Hey, look at me." Harry lifts my chin up and stares at me.

"I'm sorry. I just worry about you, Claire." He pulls me into a small hug but pulls away briefly when Madison walks into the room with a plate of food.

"Here ya go." She hands Harry the plate and snuggled into him.

"I'll let you two be. I'm going to go see if Noah's free today." I push myself off the ground and walk slowly to my room. I open my phone to call Noah but notice the many texts that I have.

Louis: Can we talk?

This was sent two minutes ago. I hesitate to reply but end up typing back like there's no tomorrow.

Me: Yes. But where?

I hit the send button and wait for at least five seconds before my phone makes a little tweeting sound.

Louis: I'll pick you up in an hour.

An hour. Good. That'll give me time.

What am I even talking about? I shouldn't have to get all fancied up! But what am I doing? Why am I doing this? It's just two friends who are going to talk, a lot of people do that. Two friends who dated. Two friends who dated and he tore you limb from limb when he was finished with you.

What are you doing Claire? This isn't going to end well and we both know it.
