It's Time

Chapter 8

Harry's POV

It's was a no, a plain and simple no. She didn't give me any explanation into why she wouldn't even consider going out on a date with me. My stomach feels like it has done a backflip I walk down the corridor. I feel blank, do you know how it feels to be rejected by the one person you thought was genuine. Its's hard to find a person that loves you for you and not for what you have and I thought that Lara might have been that person. 'Did I do something wrong? Lara seemed very different to watch she was at breakfast' I open the door to the dressing room dreading the explanation I will have to give.

"Ayyyyye" the boys all shouted as I walked into our dressing room.

"Here's the ladiesman!" Zayn shouts making me cringe.

"So what happened? when is the date" Liam asked curiously from the couch where he was sitting.

"I don't want to talk about it!" I snapped

"I'm guessing it didn't go to well then" Louis said smartly awkwardness filling the room. I slumped onto the lounge sighing staring at the wall blankly. I could feel someone's eyes on my I turn to find Niall staring at me.

"Did she say why she didn't want to go out with you?" Niall asked carefully trying not to make me snap again I took a deep breath.

"No" I said simply turning to face the wall once again, the room silencing. I'm not sure why Lara rejecting me affected me so much but it did. I'm so confused earlier today Lara seemed that she liked me as well but when I went to see her just before it's like something or someone changed her mind.

Lara's POV

I sat alone in the dressing room, the silence letting me think.

*knock knock*

I groaned not wanting to see anybody right now. I lay down face first on the couch my face buried in a pillow. The door squeaked open.

"Lara, Harry was looking for you. Did he find you?" Hannah asked as she crept in and sat at the end of the couch beside my feet.

"He found me" I murmured into the pillow.

"Well? what did he say" Hannah asked happily. I groaned and sat up, I wrapped my arms around Hannah tightly.

"Lara what wrong?" Hannah asked worriedly as she pulled away from the embrace and looked at me face.

"I stuffed up" I whimpered tears lightly beginning to stream down my face. Hannah's hands holding mine comfortingly

"What do you mean?" Hannah asked confused

"Harry asked me out on a date and I said no!" I replied shakily putting my head in my hands

"I thought you didn't want to go out with him. Why are you so upset?" She questioned I raised my head from my sweaty palms.

"I don't... I mean I didn't.. Ah I don't know!" I said frustrated my thoughts jumbled

"I hurt him Hannah" I sobbed and I leant my head on her shoulder she rubbed my back as I cried into her shoulder.

"How did you hurt him Lara?" Hannah asked continuing to rub my back soothingly.

"I said no but I didn't even explain why I couldn't go out with him. You should have seen his face his smile disappeared making my heart break, he hates me! He won't ever want to speak to me again" I sobbed quietly into Hannah's shoulder. I lifted my head and brushed my hair away from my face.

"He doesn't hate you Lara don't be silly. And of course he will want to speak to you!" Hannah said trying to make me feel a little better about myself. I wiped the wet tears off of my rosy cheeks.

"Thanks Hannah" I said sweetly giving her a quick hug.

"No problem, it will all work out don't you worry!" Hannah said with a wink. I hope she is right, I don't want Harry to hate me or not talk to me ever again. I need to explain to him why I cant go out with him. I really do like Harry and that's why I was so devastated to hurt his feelings like that.

"Lara do you like Harry?" Hannah asked just before she was about to exit the dressing room.

I took a deep breath the words slipping effortlessly out of my mouth.

"I think I do"
