Give Me Love

What You Deserve - Part 10

Harry storming up to his room when Haley was upset and needed comfort was the last straw for Louis, he was furious with him. He unwraps his arms from Haley "I'll be right back, stay down here." He says with his fists clenched shut. 

He runs up the stairs and pounds on Harry's locked bedroom door. He was determined to find out what his problem was, why the hell was he being such a dick to Haley. I will get answers, he says to himself. If Harry doesn't open the door soon, Louis won't be able to contain his anger and he'll break the door down. 

"Harry open the damn door now, I'll break it down, don't tempt me!" Louis yells. He hears shuffling from the other side and two seconds later the door is swung open by an angry Harry. Louis looks up at him and sees a hint of sadness in his eyes, making him soften a little. 

"Harry, you really need to tell me what the hell is going on with you right now, I'm getting sick and tired of seeing the light in Haley's eyes die a little more each time you act like an asshole, why are you doing this to her? I know you, you aren't like this Harry, you're the sweet and caring gentlemen, not this asshole that's standing in front of me." Louis says trying not to raise his voice so Haley doesn't hear them. Harry moves away from the door and goes to sit on his bed, setting his face in his hands. Louis fallows him in and shuts the door. 

Louis sits down next to him. He grabs Harry's hands and tears them away from Harry's face causing Harry to sit up and talk to him. "I can't do this, I thought I was strong enough to block how I feel for her out, but I was wrong, I can't do this Louis." Harry says letting his emotions take over. "What are you talking about? Can't do what? Harry you aren't making any sense." Louis says sighing from confusion. Harry stands up and just starts pacing around the room while sits there with his eyebrows furrowed while he watches him. 

"She deserves better then me Lou, and you told me you love her so I don't want to get in the way of that, she deserves better then a fucked up person like me, and that's you, she deserves you." Harry says, his voice softening and slowing down. He stops pacing the room and rests his hands against his dresser, looking down and away from Louis. "I'm sorry I've been such an ass, I just.....I really like her, so it hurts knowing I can't have her." Harry takes a few deep breath and turns to face his friend. 

Louis stares at him with wide eyes. "That's what all this is about?" He says getting up from the bed and walking towards Harry. He stops in front of him and crosses his arms in front of his chest. " You have feelings for her, but you're pushing her away and hurting her, because you don't think you're worthy of her and you think I'm in love with her?" Louis says clarifying everything. 

"You told me you loved her." Harry states feeling sure of himself. "Ya I did, I love her." Harry winces at his words. "I love her as my kid best friend, like my little sister Harry, nothing more, she is an amazing girl, and I know for a fact she feels something for you, she hasn't told me, but I can just tell." Louis says making Harry feel guilty for everything he's done. "Wow I really am an asshole." He says bringing his hand up to run through his hair. 

"Yes you are, but that doesn't mean you don't deserve her Harry, you are worthy, you made a mistake it happens, but that doesn't mean you're unworthy, in fact to be honest with you, I could't think of anyone better for her, you are both amazing people with huge hearts that give their compassion and love to everything even though you guys get nothing out of it, you guys are both always putting others before yourselves, it's about time you did something selfish, so go to her, tell her how you feel, you deserve each other." Louis says meaning every word, all of his anger now gone. 

Harry's green eyes start to tear up. He can't believe what he's done, he's never felt as bad as he does now. "But what if she hates me, I would hate me." He says blinking his eyes rapidly stop him from crying. Louis pats him on the back. "Trust me she doesn't" He says. He looks at Harry and sees that his eyes have widened and he looks stiff. Louis turns around and sees Haley standing in the door way with confusion written all over her face. "Well, this is awkward." He says just loud enough for only him to hear. 

Louis walks towards Haley and pulls her farther into the room then goes to the door. "I'm just gonna go, you guys clearly need to talk." He says closing the door and leaving. Haley and Harry not breaking eye contact for a second. 

Harry is the first to move. He slowly walks towards her nervously messing with his hands. "I am so incredibly sorry for how I've been acting, you never deserved that, will you please forgive me?" He speaks quietly from fear that his voice would fail him. Haley just looks away from him not saying a word. Harry tries to reach up and wipe some of her tears from her cheeks but she pushes him away. "Haley please talk to me you have no idea how sorry I am, I didn't think you deserved me and I was just so upset making me do and say things that were not right. Please. I'm begging you." When Harry says the last part his voice cracks from grief witch makes Haley's head shoot back up and look at him. Both of them have tears cascading down their faces. Haley finally speaks. 

"You don't get to decide who I do or don't deserve. You were upset? What about me Harry? With everything I've been through in the past few days I would have thought that you would be there for me, but you weren't, you made me hurt, you made me think I did something wrong." She says trying to back away from him but the wall up against her back stops her. "I know I don't, and I realize I'm a terrible person for not being there for you but please just let me make it up to you, I'll do anything to earn your forgiveness." He says places both his hands against the wall on either side of her face trapping her there. 

"I don't know if I can do that." She says reaching up to move his hands but they won't budge. "I fell for you Haley, so hard and so fast, I'm still falling for you, and I know you're falling for me you can't deny it, please give me a chance I swear to you that you won't regret it." He says moving his body even closer to her. He can't stand seeing her cry, especially when it's because of him.

Haley moves her eyes form the flour to Harry's deep green eyes that were now puffy and red. She feels herself giving in, his wet eyes making her feel weak. If there's one thing her Dad taught her, it's that everyone deserves a chance. Her Dad saw her as a small fragile little girl that could bring trouble, but he took a chance on her and took her in, Harry deserved a chance. The man standing in front of her pleading for her forgiveness reminded her of her 6 year old self. Eyes filled with sadness, fear, and hope all at once, asking to be taken in. Will she let Harry in? 

She feels Harry leaning closer to her. His hands move from pressing against the wall, to gently holding her face. He pulls her face closer to his, gently pressing their soft lips together. Haley takes a deep breath and slides her hands to rest on his chest, "I forgive you, don't make me regret it." She says breaking the gentle lip lock.  A small smile spreads Harry's face. He looks into her eyes and back down to her lips, feeling a sudden passion erupt in him. He pushes her back against the wall and smashes his lips on hers for a second time making Haley feel alive, their lips melting together in pure bliss. Harry pulls back to catch his breath. "Thank you." He says and then places light kisses all over her face making her giggle. He feels his heart beat a little faster. "God I've missed your laugh." She bites her lip and looks up at him. "Oh Christ, seeing you bite your lip has become my new favorite thing." He pulls her into his arms and holds her. 

"So what do I have to do gain your trust back?" He asks rubbing her back with one his hands as she rests her head on his chest. "Help me find out the truth about my past." She says squeezing tighter around his stomach. 

Harry lifts her head up to look at him. "Of course I will, I just have to ask you one question." He says. She stays quiet, Harry taking the hint to continue with what he was saying. "Will you do me the honor..... of accepting me as yours, and letting me have you has my own?" Haley smiles and you can see the happiness in her eyes. "I would be crazy to deny you, yes Harry." Harry leans down and places a soft kiss on her forehead making her close her eyes in relief and pleasure. This was just the beginning of something great.
