Bad Influence

56

"Ehm, Angel? Do you think you could wake up? My arm is asleep." A voice said. I opened my eyes and looked around me. I couldn't see anything but a chest in front of me. I closed my eyes again, not ready to get up. "I saw your eyes open. You can keep on sleeping just let me move my arm a bit." The voice said again. I recognized it as Liam's. I groaned. Liam laughed a little before he pushed me away from him. I opened my eyes again and met his brown ones. "Hey." He said. I didn't respond. I was still to tiered. I wanted to stay like this. Half asleep, with no need to go out and meet the real world, and face my problem with Harry. I was very aware of what me and Liam had done last night, I also knew what Harry had done last night. I knew I wasn't much better, I had cheated on him, I had used Liam and now I was here. I sighed. "I'm so sorry Liam." I said. "For what?" He asked. "Using you to get back on Harry, even if he never caught us. I was hurt and mad, and you were there, and so easy to convince, and I'm sorry." I said. Liam nodded slowly. "I'm sorry as well, I never should have let it get that fair. But you're right. I can't say no to you, no matter how hard I try to." Liam said. I knew I had hurt Liam, I could tell. His eyes always gave him away. "Liam?" I asked. "Yeah?" He said. "I hope you get that what happened last night wasn't a completely mistake. Yes I was hurt and you where there. But I really had missed you, I missed us. I never wanted to use or hurt you, and I feel like you need to know that my feelings for you could never go away, not that fast. I'm not saying I'm getting back together with you, because I'm not ready. But if you give me time, then maybe." I said. Liam looked at me and nodded. "Alright." He said. I smiled a little. "Does this mean I have the great pleasure of getting my best friend back?" Liam asked. I nodded. "I think so, friends are good, friends are what we need to be right now." I said. Liam nodded again. "Friends it is." He said.

I knew Louis knew what happened, he must have heard us. I wasn't surprised when Louis sat at the kitchen bar waiting for me. "Good morning." I said giving him a smile. "What the fuck were you and Liam up to last night?" Louis asked, getting straight to the point. "It's complicated." I said. "Really? Because it sounded like you were having sex with someone who is not your boyfriend. Would you like to explain?" Louis asked. I sighed and sat down opposite him. I knew I was going to cry, and I also knew that Louis were going to get mad. "Well, last night when I were going to surprise Harry." I begun before I took a deep breath. This was going to be harder than I thought. Louis and Harry were friends, they were in the same band, I didn't want to come between them. "I caught him, in his room with some other girl. He was cheating on me, and I." I had to stop. I could feel the tears rolling down my cheek. I took another deep breath before I continued. "That's why I ran into my bedroom last night and didn't talk to anybody. I feel asleep and had a nightmare. Liam heard me so he came in to check on me. I was so venerable and he was there. So I kissed him and one thing led to another." I said before I looked at Louis. He didn't say anything. He just got up and walked over to me. "I'm sorry." He told me before he gave me a hug. I started to cry again. "Shh, it's okay. It's going to be okay." He said while rocking me back and forth. I kept crying into his chest. "I-I'm just a-as b-bad as Harry. I c-cheated on h-him as well." I said, my voice cracking. "It's alright, you'll be okay." Louis said still rocking me back and forth. I'm not sure how long we stayed like this, but my tears stopped. I pulled away from Louis and dried my eyes. "I'm sorry." I said. Louis smiled a little. "It's alright." He told. I nodded. "Do you want something to eat? Or anything to drink?" Louis asked. "Not if you're making it." I mumbled. Louis raised an eyebrow. "Did you just make a joke about my terrible cooking?" He asked. I smiled a little and nodded. "Good, that means you're getting better. Now, shall I get Liam to make us some breakfast?" Louis asked. I nodded again.

I felt like the boys before tip toeing around me. Zayn and Niall had come over after Louis had texted them, and I knew they both wanted to talk to me about it. After about an hour of the four boys asking me if I needed anything or wanted to talk, I put my foot down. "Alright, spill the beans. Please don't be gentle." I said to them. Zayn sat down next to me, while Louis and Niall sat down right in front of me, Liam was on the other side of me. "Alright, I'm saying this because I care about you alright?" Zayn asked. I nodded. "You need to talk to him. Yes he cheated on you, but you cheated on him. And you can't avoid Harry forever." Zayn said. I sighed. "But I can try." I said. Niall shook his head. "It's not that simple. Harry know what happened between you and Liam last night." Niall said. I furrowed my brows. "What?" I asked. "He was sitting out in the living room when he heard you scream. He got up to go inside and help you when he saw Liam walk in. He wanted to go inside and help, but then he started to hear sounds from your bedroom. So he came back into our apartment and woke me up." Niall said. I put my head in my hands and felt the tears come back. "I'm so screwed." I said. I could feel a hand gently rubbing my back. "It's alright, it'll be fine." Liam's voice said. I sighed and looked up. "Is he mad?" I asked. Niall shrugged. "Not sure. I mean if he is cheating on you, then maybe not as much as we thought." Niall said. "Should I go find him or wait until he finds me?" I asked. "Go to him, you're just making this worse." Louis said. "Fuck this." I said before I got up.

I knocked on the door to Harry, Niall and Zayn's apartment. "Harold, I know you're in there." I said as I kept knocking. Harry opened the door after a little while. His curly hair were a mess and he was still in his pajamas. "What a surprise." Harry said as he saw me. I rolled my eyes. "Let me in Harry." I said. He stepped aside so I could walk in. The apartment looked almost the same as min, Liam and Louis's, except this one was a little bit smaller and the kitchen and living room were all in one room. I sat down on a chair waiting for Harry to sit down as well. I knew I had to get through this without crying. "We need to talk, but I figured you already knew that." I said. Harry nodded and sat down. I looked at him for a moment. This curly haired boy with those beautiful green eyes, I had never imagined him for a cheater. "I know what happened between you and Liam." Harry said. I nodded. "I know, but you can't play the victim here, neither can I." I said. "And why is that?" Harry asked. "Because I know what happened between you and that blonde girl last night." I said. "I have never slept with a blonde girl that isn't you." Harry said. "Really Harry? You're pulling that one?" I asked. Harry didn't respond. "I saw you with my own eyes. I came here last night to surprise you, and you were in bed with some other girl." I said looking Harry directly into the eyes. "How did you?" He begun but I cut him off. "You now, I actually liked you, you were my first real boyfriend since Liam. And you just go and cheat on em? What did she give you that I didn't? What does she have, that I don't? I never cheated on you, I cared so much about you. Yes, I slept with Liam last night, but I was hurt, and mad and he was so comforting and I was so vulnerable. Yes, that is no excuse for what I did, but at least I can admit that I did something wrong, and not lie straight up to your face about it." I said. I could feel the tears burning in my eyes, but I kept them in. I was not going to let him see me cry, not ever.
