Something Great (Narry)

Chapter 16

I leaned my head against the bus windows, dragging my fingers around on the fog. I tried not to show my emotions, even though there were very few people on the bus. Niall's words kept playing over in my head.

I told you I never wanted to see you again.

How did I mess everything up so badly? I managed to destroy the only good thing happening in my life. I narrowed my eyes. What was I doing here being sad? I felt anger rush through my body. Anger towards Niall for not being able to forgive me. Anger towards myself for thinking that he should forgive me.

I stormed into my apartment ignoring the endless buzzing of my phone in my pocket. I guess Louis and Liam finally realized I was gone. I dug my phone out of my pocket and tossed it onto my bed as I made my way to the shower. As the bathroom filled with steam I felt myself filling with rage. Why wouldn't I go see Niall? I saved his life and he still never wanted to see me? I banged my fists against the porcelain of the shower walls.h I slid down and sat on the floor of the shower and stayed there until the water grew cold.

When I stepped out of the bathroom I figured I should tell Louis where I was. I didn't want to worry him too much. And I'm sure Liam wasn't too worried, it's not like we were close friends. I picked up my phone and looked at the screen. 5 missed calls from Liam, 20 missed calls from Louis, and 1 missed call from my mum? I hadn't spoken to my mum since before Zayn and I broke up. Since Christmas dinner when Zayn didn't show up to be exact. I made the decision that calling Louis could wait. I dialed my mums number and it rang twice before she picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hi mum," I cheered.

"Harry! Are you alright?" she sounded worried.

"Yes. Why?"

"Because I've just seen on the news that your boyfriend has been arrested for stabbing someone," she scoffed. My mum had never liked Zayn and I figured now would be a good time to tell her the truth.

"Yeah, I forgot to tell you but Zayn and I broke up."

"Well you better have since he's gone to jail!"

"We actually broke up before that. In January actually," I said quietly.

"Oh honey," her voice became more sympathetic, "why?"

I couldn't tell her the whole truth. After all, she had known all along the whole reason Zayn was with me.

"Things just weren't working out. We never saw each other with him working all the time," I lied. Zayn never had a job. Well, I thought he had one, turns out it was just an excuse to cheat on me. In reality, he never needed one thanks to me.

"It's for the better," I could tell she was glad we finally broke up, "I just hope the person he stabbed is okay."

"Yeah," I bit my lip, "me too."

"It was good talking to you Harry, it's been ages. But I better go so I don't miss my flight," her voice trailed off.

"Flight? Where are you going?"

"I forgot to mention," she paused, "I'm moving to LA."

"What?!" I spat.

"I just figured I should spend some time there, enjoy the weather, the people," she rambled on.

There was a sudden banging on my door.

"Look, mum," the banging grew louder and harder, "I need to go." I hung up the phone without saying goodbye.

"Harry Styles open this goddamn door," Louis demanded.

I opened the door to see a distressed Louis, holding a bag which he handed me.

"Here is your food," he said cooly, stepping in to my apartment, "which I had to go get with Liam. And then I had to come back to see you weren't there which left me alone with him."

"Sorry I-I had to get home," I muttered.

"So we sat there waiting for you for the most uncomfortable 20 minutes of my life before we realized you weren't even in the hospital," he continued, his tone growing harsher as he spoke.

"I was-"

"Do you know what it's like to be left alone in a room with someone who has cheated on you?"

"Yes."

"And then, he wanted to talk about "us" as if he thought there was a way we could somehow get back together even though I caught him cheating!"

"Lou, I'm really sorry I had to go-"

"Harry," he interrupted, "I know you went to see Niall."

I sighed. "I just thought-"

"He'd forgive you?" Louis finished my sentence, his tone growing softer.

I nodded weakly. "Well what am I supposed to do? What if he did forgive me and I'd never know if I didn't go see him?" I shouted.

"You knew he wouldn't forgive you," Louis stated. He was right. In the back of my mind I always knew nothing I did would be enough for him. "You just didn't want to hear him say it because you didn't want to face the truth."

I looked down at my feet in defeat. Louis made his way towards my door.

"I can't lose him. I can't give up." I whispered.

"Then what are you going to do to get him back?" Louis said before closing the door behind him.
