Between Two

Chapter Ten

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

I began to rethink this whole Eleanor thing. Should I be with her? Am I truly happy? Is she the one for me? But she makes me smile when I'm sad and so does Rose... I've put off going after Rose for a bit and began to start planning my wedding with Eleanor. It's going to be the best day ever, if you ask me!

I look around the room that we were in and noticed Morgan was also looking around, so I decided to speak to her.

"What are you studying?" I ask.

"Writing, Kiersten and I are taking the same courses." She replies.

I look past her to Kiersten, she was knocked out.

"Oh that's wonderful." I say.

"Yeah, it's actually the best thing I ever did. You know go to University." She says.

I nod, "I wish I could've gone."

**Rose's P.O.V**

I couldn't help but overhear Harry and Morgan talking about University. I really wanted to attend but things are getting quite busy. I mean soon tour will start up for the boys and I'll be going along with them until I start getting gigs.
I ignored some of what Simon was saying and continued to sign the papers. I took a break and walked out to the waiting room, which was a bit cooler than the office. I look at the clock behind the receptionists desk and noticed it was ten at night. And I probably have another 3 hours left.
I took in a deep breath and looked out the glass window near the waiting chairs. Then the office door opened and I swung my head in the direction of the person coming out. It was Harry. I roll my eyes and look back out at the busy street.
"Hey, Rose." He says and standing in front of me to block my view of the city.
"Hey." I say quietly.
He puts his hands in his front pockets and looks me in the eyes, "Look Rose, I really truly do hate myself for hurting you. And the thing is I don't want to just break things with Eleanor, because it'll hurt her."
"Okay, and where are you going with this?" I ask getting a little annoyed.
"You know how I said i'll have a little fun?" He asks.
I nod. He leans in and then our lips touch. He start kissing me, but I didn't kiss back. I pushed him off of me and looked at him as tears formed in my eyes, "You think I could just take you back after all that shit you caused?"
"No." He says.
"Then why kiss me?" I ask.
"I needed to feel you again." He replies.
"Harry, I can't-" I say, "You can't- we can't."
I didn't want him to hurt me ever again. I didn't want to be comfortable with him ever again.. I didn't want to feel his lips touch mine ever again..
Harry looked full of sorry. I wish he would know how I felt that night when he told me him and Eleanor were expecting. I felt crushed, upset, and lonely. And then Louis came to me and made me feel better and ever since I felt comfortable in his arms.
"Rose, this is my little game. And i'll play it until the day I get married, until then.." He says.
"Harry, no." I say, "Don't hurt Eleanor."
"I won't." He says.
"Harry, please don't hurt anyone." I say.
Then I heard the clearing of the throat and I turned around to find Louis leaning up against the receptionists desk. I smile at him and walk over to hug him but he just backed away like I had a disease or something.
"Louis?" I ask.
"You let him kiss you." He says with a bit of hatred.
"Louis-"
"Save it." He says and walks away.
My smile slowly fades as he walks away into a hallway. Part of me wanted to follow him but the other half told me not to. He'll come back around.
I sigh and walk back into the office totally ignoring Harry. I sit back down in the chair I was previously in and kept signing the papers.

By the end of the night everyone had woke up. I was tired and it had become freezing as it became night in the office.
I walked out to the waiting room and then it clicked Louis still wasn't with us. I told the rest Louis and I will meet up with them in a few minutes.
I went down the corridor Louis went down and looked in every room. I came to the last one of the corridor. I closed my eyes and prayed he would be in there. I twisted the knob and looked in. To my luck, he was in there.
"Louis," I say and walk in and sit next to him on the couch he was on.
"What?" He asks.
I start rubbing his back, "Look Lou, yes he kissed me but it meant nothing to me."
"Sure it didn't." He says.
"Louis, it meant nothing to me. He hurt me, and I could never accept an apology from him." I say.
He looks up and looks me in the eyes, "It hurt to see my best friend kiss my girlfriend." He says with a tear stained cheeks.
"Don't cry." I whisper before I lean in and kiss him.
He kisses back, I smiled in between kiss and so did he. We pulled apart. We looked at each other.
"I love you." He says.
"If you love me enough, we'll go home and get some rest." I joke.
He smiles, "Hey! That's not how you should talk to the queen!"
"I was kidding, babe." I say.
We both get up and walk hand in hand out of the building and to the van.
