"You're a wonderful lad Harry."
"You're a wonderful lad Harry."
"You're a wonderful lad Harry."
Zayn's words repeated over and over again in Harry's mind as he caressed his cheek where Zayn’s plump lips once were. "He kissed me," Harry thought to himself." He only kissed my cheek, but still. He kissed me!!"
"Oh, boy." Louis sighed.
"What?" Harry jumped, unaware that he was speaking out loud. Better yet, Louis being in the room as he fawned over the shared moment he and Zayn had just moments ago.
"I saw what he did, and the way you're reacting right now." Louis retorted. "I mean really? He pecked you on the cheek. It's no big deal. Why are you overreacting?"
"Ugh. What is your problem?" Harry spat. "Why are you acting like this? Are you jealous or something?"
"Jealous? You think I'm jealous?" Louis rolled his electric blue eyes. "You're kidding right?"
"Well, I don't even know what to think anymore! Is it because Niall isn't giving you the time of day or something? Like why are you yelling at me?!"
"NO! This has nothing to do with Niall..." Louis trailed off.
But Harry saw right through his lie. "Sure it doesn't..." He thought to himself.
"Well, if it doesn't have anything to do with Niall, then why are you so pissy right now?"
"Oh, I don't know Harry!! Maybe it's because Master is luring them closer to him and I don't want to see you get hurt when Zayn is gone. Or worse..."
"Don't. Even. Say. It." Harry said through clenched teeth.
"Say what Harry?" Louis pushed. "That Zayn and the others might get killed? Or become like us?"
"No! Stop!"
"Is that what you want? Hmm?"
"Stop it!" Harry’s deep and raspy voice was beginning to crack. If Louis continued he was bound to break down. Right here, right now.
"How can you be so selfish? Do you want to see them get hurt?"
"Why are you doing this?" Harry questioned while wiping a stray tear off his cheek.
But Louis didn't listen, he just got louder. "You already know our living conditions and the things Master forces us to do. Do you really want the boys to go through what we went through?"
Then and there is when Harry lost it. "CUT IT OUT!!" Harry screamed as he ran off.
"What have I done?" Louis muttered.
But Harry didn't hear a word Louis said after his little tantrum. He just ran straight towards Zayn’s bedroom. Hopefully he can spend as much time with him before he's finally gone.
Harry's actually beginning to believe what Louis said. But a little piece of him is telling himself that Louis’ only lying in order to get a reaction out of him. Because Niall isn’t giving him the attention Louis needs. The thing he absolutely craves for.
~~~~~~
"Zayn!! Zayn are you in there?" Harry whisper-yelled frantically as he repeatedly knocked on the door.
"He has to be in here. If he's not, I don't know what I would do with myself." Harry thought out loud the second time this night. "I swear if he isn't..."
