That Fine Line (Larry AU)

Chapter 15

Chapter 15

Louis’ POV

“I’m in love with Harry,” my onscreen self said.

“What the f*ck is this?” El asked again.

“Um…,” I began, but not being able to continue because I didn’t know what to say. This was the perfect time to admit to El that I was in love with Harry but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. Harry was definitely not in love with me and if El dumped me, then I wouldn’t have anyone.

“It was just for the public, El. Don’t worry I’m not in love with Harry,” I found myself saying. She looked at me sceptically before putting her phone away in her pocket and softening her glare.

“Are you sure?” she asked. No

“Yes,” I replied, nodding my head. She sighed in relief before coming up to me and pulling my face to hers to kiss me. Her lips pressed against mine tentatively but I couldn’t do it.

I pushed her away.

“Sorry El. I can’t do this,” I said to her. She looked at me, confused.

“I was lying before. It wasn’t for the public. I’m in love with Harry. I’m so sorry! It wasn’t supposed to hap-,” I said, getting cut off as hand came in contact with my cheek. I gasped in shock as the pain ran through my face. She had just slapped me!

“Wha-“ I began asking but got cut off again.

“We’re over. And you know what? I’ve already found someone better,” she said.

“Wait what? You’re cheating on me?” I said to her.

“Not anymore since now you and I done,” she said to me.

“You know what? I was actually sorry about falling in love with Harry because I knew that it would hurt you but now I seriously don’t give a f*ck. I’m in love with Harry and you and your boy toy can go have a nice life together. I don’t want anything to do with you anymore. You know, I was hoping we could still be friends but now I know for sure I don’t want to be. Good bye,” I said to her before turning on my heel.

“Harry will never love you back. You’ll be running back to me in no time,” she said.

“I know that Harry will never love me back but here’s where you’re wrong. I will never be running back to you. You f*cking cheated on me!” I exclaimed.

“Do you have any idea how hard it is to watch your boyfriend pretend to be someone else’s boyfriend?” she asked me.

“No but you’ve obviously dealt with it quite well,” I spat at her. “How long?”

“1 week ago,” she said.

“You’ve been cheating on me for a week and you didn’t even have the dignity to break up with me? You’re shallower than I thought,” I said, anger coursing through my veins.

“Well you fell in love with Harry!” she exclaimed.

“Yeah but I unlike you, I couldn’t help it. You had the choice not to cheat on me! And now, I told you and I was going to break up with you but you beat me to it. Have a nice life,” I said before making it to the door and walking out.

Instead of going home though, I drove to the beach where I talked with Jamie. I just needed to clear my head.

I parked my car and hopped out of it, grabbing my IPod and then headed down to the sand. I slipped my earphones in and sat down on the sand. I clicked on shuffle and let the music come through the earphones.
